Ipod updater-now ipod not working

I just updated my ipod mini, but now it does nothing but show the apple sign and then turn itself off after about 30 seconds.I have tried charging it, and connecting it to my computer, but it doesnt seem to fix anything.
Thanks in advance-Dch-p

Dylan,
Try to fix it with a Mac computer. First you must plug your iPod with a AC charger, put it in Disk Mode, plug your PC's formatted iPod with a Mac computer, your iPod will show up in the Desktop, open the Disk Utility and do a ERASE (fomat) in MS Dos format. Once completed, plug it with your PC and you will see the window pop up and ask you to do the Restore for your PC to read it. Then open the iPod updater and click Restore.

  • Installing Recent Ipod Update - Now it doesnt work - CD and Cable Picture

    Hi,
    Please help!
    I was installing Recent Ipod touch Update 1.1.2 I think. It all downloaded and started installing, and then for some unknown reason just stoped and said it couldnt continue. So i thought i would unplug and try again. However, it now wont let me do anything. The ipod touch screen now has a picture of a cd and the ipod cable which i cannot get rid of and when i plug it in, my computer doesnt even recognise it is pluged in. Help!
    Any help on how i get out of this mess would be fantastic.
    Thank you

    Unless your running Itunes 7.6 (the latest) then Uninstall your current Itunes through add/remove in Xp or whatever way they do it on a Mac and then when you have a fresh copy of Itunes 7.6 installed do the following.
    1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
    2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still of.
    3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
    4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
    5. The Apple logo will appear
    6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
    7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
    6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
    8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • IPhone disconnect during update, now is not working and I can't see im

    My iPhone 4s is not working, I see the screen connect to iTunes.
    I have try to proceed ton an update via iTunes, but my wire have a trouble, so the phone disconnect, to process of update begin and stop.
    I have change my wire, I connect my iPhone to windows, I have de sound of connecting, I have iTunes open, but I can't see my phone in iTunes and neigther in my computer.
    Know I have phone dosen't working and I can't try to do something, I look in tutorials they don't have anything, they solutions for problem close, but not this one.

    Did they have a kind of BBSAK like for BlackBerry? if I can just swipe and reinstall iOS it will be easy for the rest.

  • Ipod Update and Windows - Not Working. 1.1.2. Downgrade?

    I installed 1.1.2 on my 160GB yesterday and it has basically ruined my ipod. Something is wrong with the windows version of this update. I can get itunes to recognize it only if I put the ipod in disk mode. But then when I disconnect it from the computer it will just go to the apple logo screen and repeatedly reboot itself until the battery dies. I took it to the apple store and they got it working by doing a restore on a mac. When I got back home, I restored to Windows and it's back to the same problem. So something is wrong with the update. I also tried restoring on a different windows PC just in case there was something wrong with my download. It didn't help. Same problem.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    How can I get back to the old firmware. It would have been nice if apple would test their software BEFORE they released it.

    As one who is running Windows XP, I updated to 1.1.2 absolutely smoothly yesterday. I waited to see if there was a consensus as to any pervasive problems - the fact that there are so few posts about this update indicated to me there are no major issues. There seems to be nothing inherently wrong with the Windows version of the update. Are you sure you are allowing the update to complete before disconnecting it from the PC? I always wait for the iPod to reboot and run another complete synchronization before disconnecting it.
    To Downgrade your firmaware:
    Disconnect your iPod from your PC and shut down iTunes
    Delete the files for the version 1.1.2 from your PC. In Windows XP they can be found at C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. Make sure you have the files for the previous version of the firmware.
    Start iTunes and disable checking for updates automatically (Preferences > General)
    Connect your iPod and click the Restore button. You should be asked if you wish to load an older version of the firmware (answer yes).
    Let the restore do its thing
    Resync your iPod
    My guess is you will need to put the iPod into disk mode first, since you say that this is the only way it will be recognized.

  • The Wi-Fi on My iPod Touch 4G is Not Working (See Description)

    The Wi-Fi on my iPod Touch 4G is not working. People were working on my wi-fi, and, since it showed three bars still, I thought it was working. So when I found out it wasn't working, I tried to fix it by myself by forgetting the wi-fi network. Now, when I try to log in, it says that my password is incorrect (even though I know it is right). I think it is not working because I forgot the wi-fi network while they were working on it. I don't know what to do and I would like Wi-Fi to work on my iPod again (and it is working on my computers and my iPad). Can anyone help me? Thanks:)

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT5467 My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.

    My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.

    You do have it turned on ins settings>Privacy, right?
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
    You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead...

    My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead, i have opened it and found that its black near audio pin is injected and its heating while connecting via usb to laptop neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed help any one...............................
    i think its kind of short circuited is any thing workable in this device or not........

    I solved my problem by restoring the shuffle to factory settings on the summary screen. Now it seems to work the way it's supposed to. Many thanks to Apple for zero help, as usual. Apple should direct less resources to developing the next snazzy ipad and more to cleaning up and enhancing itunes. I'll make the same editorial comment about the iphone 4 voicemail options.

  • My iPod 4th generation is not working

    My Ipod 4th generation is not working. I do not know what happened. I was on it and then the screen turned like a black that was glowing. I pressed the home button and then it still wasnt working so I let it sit. I came back to it a few minutes later, and it had the turn ipod off screen, so I turned it off and now it wont turn back on!!! PLEASE HELP! -Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • My IPOD classic headport is not working properly.  The sound is going in and out?

    My ipod classic headport is not working properly.  The sound keeps going in and out.  I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Do a Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.
