IPOD finally working

I bought the remote/radio for it and I don't see the radio on the screen.I'm also not able to detect my micromemo device. Any help?
TIA,
Mike

I could never get it off before with the eject, control E, or just about anything short of resetting, rebooting, or disconnecting the cable. When I first saw it, I thought "Oh no, I am locked up again" But now I ejected under Itunes instantaneously. I guess it was infamous in my own mind and with others that could not get the iPod to eject normally.

My iPod was working fine until I finally

My iPod was working fine until I finally decided to update the software. After i did this, it told me to update my firmware by plugging it in. I did, and then when I unplugged it later on, every song on my iPod was gone. A few days later, I plugged the iPod into my computer and all the songs magically came back on it, even the ones that were not backed up on the computer I plugged it into. It worked fine for a couple of days, but this morning when I tried to play a song, it kept lagging and would struggle, making some clicking sounds (not continuous ones like when a harddrive crashes, just occasional ones like it was having trouble reading), so I reset it. When I started up again, I got the sad iPod icon. I have since tried everything in every relevant support article I could find. I tried the 5 R's, and I also put it into disk mode (which it finally did, after much lagging), but still my computer would not recognize it, even after reinstalling iTunes.
Basically, what it comes down to, is I cannot restore it, because I cannot get my computer to recognize it. It has always worked fine on this computer -- in fact, I never had a single problem with my iPod until I tried to update the software. I guess I learned, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' - but how can I ever get my iPod to work again? Please help me!

How I got my iPod to FINALLY work

When my husband bought my iPod for me, he didn't purchase Applecare. But since I reported problems with it while it was still under warranty, I could still purchase Applecare. I really recommend doing this if you can. They (usually) service it for free.
To make a long story short, my computer (powermac G5) wasn't recognizing my ipod, so therefore I couldn't download anything on it...very frustrating.
So, I returned it to Applecare, and they sent me a new one, still didn't work. And we did this again, it still didn't work. UNTIL I was told to plug it into the back of the computer...it works.
For some reason, my iPod only works in the USB port in the back of my hard drive tower.
Hopefully, this will work for some of you...

"For some reason, my iPod only works in the USB port in the back of my hard drive tower"
Although I'm not familiar with your particular computer, some USB ports are not connected directly to the computers motherboard, and those that are tend to work better with the iPod because of this.
This may be the reason why your iPod was instantly recognized when you changed ports.

Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop. Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8? I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

IPod iTouch working with Vista

I purchased a 16g iTouch, because my 1st generation iPod finally died (actually i dropped it).
I installed and it worked great. Syncd up perfectly. The next day, it would not recognize my iPod. Calling Apple support, they had me restore - and it worked perfect. Next day, same thing would not recognize my iPod. This time Apple support had me uninstall anything apple on my pc and then restore. It worked, but they had me reboot my pc. Guess what. It would not recognize my iPod.
I took it back to the store and actually upgraded to a 32g iTouch. Came home, followed steps, syncd up first time then it wouldn't recognize my iPod again.
Yesterday, following instructions from the Apple Genius, all my music was wiped off of my pc. I started all over, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, etc. It worked great.
Today, I come home from work to resync and to finish loading all my cd's - guess what, it didn't recognize pc.
I'm at wits end. Anyone having issues with running Vista and recognizing your iPod?

I have posted this before. I'm running Visat SP1 and the only was iTunes will find the iTouch is if I switch off the Wi-Fi on the Settings page of the iTouch!
Best Regards

XP stopped recognizing iPod, iPod still works with other XP computer

I had my iPod and iTunes working hapilly on my main XP Home computer until recently. XP now beeps several times (connect/disconnect) when I plug the iPod, and the drive letter briefly shows up in My Computer with a red flag, and it comes and goes for a few minutes before finally giving up.
I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice with no change.
The iPod is still recognized on 2 other XP computers that don't have iTunes (I use it as a USB drive on those machines).
I have reset the iPod a few times and no change. The iPod works well by itself, and other USB devices on the main XP machine still work fine.
I did a driver rollback to March (oldest date I could find), and I know the iPod was working fine then, and it made no difference.
I am open to any suggestion. I have been considering reinstalling XP on this machine to clean it up anyway, but the Make Recovery CD program on this machine does not work, so short of buying a new XP license, or buying a new computer, I am stuck with this one.
Thanks in advance

HP Pavilion Windows XP

I thought about that, but the iPod does not show in Disk Manager. It shows sometimes very briefly in My Computer, but disconnects immediately when it does.
The drive letter assignments on this computer are a little funky, but the iPod used to be N: and currently there is nothing assigned to N:
At this moment, it is plugged in and the computer keeps beeping with the typical USB-in and USB-out sounds every few seconds.

Getting the ipod to work on a Mac after being formated for a PC

I just received a 60g video ipod for christmas. I ran it first on my parents PC. It worked great. I was able to copy songs and even use the ipod as a portable HD. Then I took it home, plugged it into my PowerPC G4 and nothing happend. It wouldn't show up in itunes, or on my desktop. Then I used the ipod updater from 11-17. It wouldn't recognize my ipod being plugged in. I then went into itunes prefrences and it said "no ipod connected" and when i try to run itunes with the ipod connected itunes just freezes until i unplug it.
I have a PCI slot USB 2.0 that i plugged it into. (i even tried the 1.0 just to see if it would at least read) I tried everything. I know it should be able to at least read the ipod even if it's formated for the PC. but it doesn't. The weird part is the ipod says "Do not disconnect" when i plug it into the machine. So the ipod is reading the usb cable.
i later took it to my friends, house who has a PC, and was able to format the ipod. but when i brought it back home it still won't work. i am sooo frustrated right now. i don't know what to do except throw this thing against the wall. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I tried replying to this message earlier but it never appeared. Thats probably a good thing since I think I finally found a solution.
I was having the exact same problem as kriutta (pc to mac, powermac g4, pci usb 2.0 card).
Since my Mac wouldn't let me format the iPod, I took it to the Apple Store and had one of the techs there format it on a new Mac in the store. I brought it home and this allowed iTunes to see the iPod.
I still had another problem that I couldn't format the iPod using the iPod Updater, the icon for the iPod was for my old 3G iPod and iTunes wouldn't let me transfer photos or videos (no tabs in preferences).
To fix these problems I deleted /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext and replaced it with the newest version from the iTunes 6.0.3 package. I then ran disk utility to fix permissions and rebooted. It worked!
iPod Updater works, iTunes shows the right 5G icon, I can transfer my videos and it's right now transfering my Photos.
One last thing....some of those PCI USB 2.0 cards are crap. I've heard that the Belkin one works the best but a lot of them aren't supported by Apple's USB drivers (even though they say they're Mac compatible). So be careful that the USB 2.0 card you're using is a good one.
I hope this helps.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.

Had 1418 error.formatted as fat.not fat32.now ipod doesnt work.why?plz help

The iTunes keeps saying that:
"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to"
"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated.
And when I tried to restore it.
"The iPod "IPOD" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"
thats a dreaded problem and i researched at many forums on how to solve it.....
before reading ur reply....there were some other replies that i read.....
which told me to format my ipod into fat partition...and not fat32 partition....then we had to update it and then restoring it would be possible........
that was the only article which i came across and which had a solution to 1418 problem......
so i began my work....
but as soon as i formatted my ipod shuffle second generation into fat partition.......
i restarted my comp...and then.the ipod is no longer working.......
if i push it to on......then there is a constant green light on it which does not go off even if i connect it to comp. using the dock provided.......
if i put it off,the green light goes off....
ideally when an ipod shuffle is connected to pc..there is an orange light that starts blinking ,that shows that the ipod is being charged.
but now when i connect mine.....
the green light blinks only once......and then nothing happens...
the device isnt working and so i cant even solve my 1418 problem ,as now i even have the solution.......
help me plz....
its really urgent....
its been just a month my uncle gifted me this ipod ...he stays in north carolina........and i stay in india.....
i dont even know if there are service centres of apple available in mumbai.and if they are,whether they are trust worthy or the ipod that i send to them might never to me and get stolen or something.....somebody might just keep it and say that its lost.......mumbai is not trustworthy.
but if there is a recognized apple service centre then i would want to go there and get my ipod repaired....i have one-year warranty with me.......but i dont know if the warranty of a product bought in north carolina works in india......
i cant throw this ipod....cause its my first ipod and it has hardly been time that i got it...its too early for me to throw it.....
i dont know why the ****.....cant i connect it to the comp...
i tried the following: after getting 1418 read and write error...:
reinstalled the itunes 7.0.2
reinstalled the drivers......
reset the ipod shuffle...
restarted my computer several times.....
checked the cable....
plugged the usb cable onto another port...
scanned the comp for viruses......
now the only thing left is that i think.....there can be a problem with the jack where the dock is plugged.....
maybe thats the reason my ipod isnt working...
even if i formatted into fat partition rather than fat32 partition,it should atleast be connected......
should atleast charge.....
should atleast be detected......
my ipod is not even getting detected by the comp as any unknown device also.....forget as an ipod....
i just shouldnt have formatted it...
although i think....that formatting it did not lead to this problem......
please help me.......
urgently...........
plz.....
plz......send ur reply fast..plz help me.........
get this ipod to work......
i will fix the 1418 error myself....
just get this device to work....so that comp starts detecting that i have connected something thru usb.....

On top of the two suggestions already given, make sure that the drive letter being assigned to the ipod when you plug it in in windows is not also a drive letter being assigned to another drive. I've heard that this happens occasionally and can cause all kinds of conflicts, from problems you are describing to lockups when trying to sync.
I would also try it on a different computer to see if that helps. Maybe you've got a friend or a computer at work that you can install itunes on and give it a shot there. This will let you know whether it's a problem with your specific computer or if it's a problem with the ipod.
The fact that it runs in Windows and you were able to reformat the flash memory stick tells me that the Ipod is working, but that something on your computer is not.
P.S. Obviously you've had it for 90 days, So I must assume that the USB port is working correctly. Otherwise the Ipod's battery would have drained by now. So I don't believe it is a hardware issue. So move past that for right now and look to your computer's settings for the answer.

I am a new ipod touch user; have gone through all the dowload/install stuff, plugged the device into my computer but ipod screen still shows plug in to tunes. I am totally computer useless - how can I get my ipod to work, please? Charles Jones.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.
