Try putting your iPod into disk mode and restoring it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - 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 will not sync to my computer.

    My Ipod will not sync to my computer. There have been several pop ups saying that my Ipod Is unable to sync.It also says i don't have the correct disc? I don't know what that means. I have tried unplugging my ipod multiple times to see if it will sync correctly, but It hasn't so far.All i really need is to put music on my ipod.  Please help soon!

    Not sure what the problem is. I'd try to troubleshoot it. See if it will work with a different USB Transfer cable. See if it will connect to a different PC. See if OTHER iPods will connect to YOUR PC. Usually when something like this happens it's a setting that has been changed, or unfortunately, it can also be a hardware issue (iPod connection port broken, USB Transfer cable broken, etc...) Let us know if any of these things work or if you get it fixed. Good Luck!

  • For some reason my iPod will not sync with my computer.  It comes up with an error code of 13019.  Does anyone know what this is or where to find out?

  • My ipod will not charge on my computer or in a wall charger or in my ihome . how do i fix this problem ?

    my ipod will not charge anymore .
    it won't show it's charging on my ihome or in a wall charger .
    it won't even show it's charging on my computer .
    can someone help me fix this .

    If none of these fixes work, take it into the Apple store. barring any signs of obvious damage it's possible that your battery is sick, or that there could be something wrong within the device.
    Do the troubleshooting to rule out a bad cable before you take time to go in.

    You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings.  There is no other way.
    Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

  • IPod will not sync to newer computer

    Friends,
    I have a perplexing problem. I am moving my computers around. I always move the faster one up to the office while the older one goes to another room. Currently I have the iPod synced to a MAC 450 GHz G4 computer. I wanted to move the iTunes and sync to my faster computer. ...I have a G4 dual 1GHz MDD. I inserted my pod into the dock and it requested that I sync to the iTunes new computer. This required that the iPod be erased. I have already moved the library to the new G4 1GHz via DVD discs as per the instructions for moving to a new computer. However, within about 4 minutes as it was writing the tunes to the ipod, a dialogue box popped up and said " Attempting to copy to the disk "my name" iPod failed. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I checked the iPod drive via disc utilities. Everything is fine. The iPod mounts with no problem. I even purchased music that the library disc is on ( I keep a separate drive for the library) every thing is good. I updated my OS (10.4.11 and the iTunes is 7.6.1 (9) For some odd reason my 1 Ghz MAC will not sync to the iPod. I then tried the ipod on the old G4 450 GHz and it re syncd...... no problem. Any suggestions ??? Trouble is .. in order to test it ..... you gotta see if it will write all your tunes.. I really want my 1 GHz to be the main "sync" one.
    Second problem, but not as serious... every time I insert my pod into the dock, BOTH MACs tell me that I should use 2.0 USB and connect the dock to the back of the computer. IT is connected to the back of the computer!!!!!

    Did you download the ne iTunes?(i think its 11)
    If that's the case then you need to go to "music" and select that you want to sync your music.
    Hope that helps.

  • My iPod will not sync to my computer. Help!

    I just got a new 30gb iPod and uploaded the music off of my sister's laptop. Now, when I try to upload the music off of my computer, it will not allow me to do it. I don't know what the problem is because it used to let me upload from both computers. I have tried manually syncing it, but when I drag the files over to my iPod link, the strikethrough circle appears. Please help!!! Thank you.

    Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
    Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • 2 iPods will not work on my computer, what is wrong? (please help)

    Okay, so I bought a refurbished 40gb iPod on ebay about 3 weeks ago. When I got it, I plugged it in, it came on, iTunes opened up and asked me what I wanted to name the iPod. I name it, then it starts to sync. It brings over my folders from iTunes, then says "copying song 1 of 143..." Then it just stops and says "you may disconnect your iPod", but none of the songs have been copied.
    I tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in, and now it gives an error message saying "the iPod may be corrupted, you should restore..." I try to restore it and the restoration fails because of an "unknown error". I've tried using different USB ports, tried resetting the iPod, gone through the 5Rs, even updated the digital signatures in XP. NO DICE.
    Now when I plug the iPod in, windows says it's an unrecognized device. I reset it which fixed that problem, but iTunes still can't deal with it. It keeps saying it's corrupted and to restore it but restoration fails.
    I tried it on my other comp (also an XP box), and iTunes said it was synced to another computer, do you want to erase it and sync it to this computer, etc. etc. I did so, and once again, it brings over the folders but no songs will copy. Then the nonsense with the errors starts all over again and it refuses to let me restore it.
    I returned the first iPod to the guy and he sent me another one and it's doing the EXACT same thing as the first. iPod seems fine otherwise, wheel works fine, it charges normally, shows 37.1 GB free space on the iPod screen. But refuses to work. "the ipod could not be restored" error 1418, and all that. I can't even format it under windows.
    Any suggestions? I've tried everything I know of except for uninstalling iTunes 7 and going back to 6.

    You haven't mentioned re-registering the DLL's in windows xp which is the suggested fix on Windows XP for ipod's doing this.
    Disconnect the iPod from the computer and close iTunes.
    Copy the 10 lines below (highlight and ctrl+c or right-click and copy)
    regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
    regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
    regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
    Open notepad:
    1. Start>Run
    2. Type 'notepad'
    3. Hit return
    Paste the text into notepad (ctrl+v or right-click and paste)
    Save the file as registerdll.bat on your desktop
    Close notepad
    Doubleclick the registerdll.bat file on the desktop
    A command prompt will appear and these items will be processed. When it is finished you can delete the batch file.
    See if it then syncs okay.

  • My ipod will not sync from my computer

    I can not get my IPOD to sync. I purchase a song,but it will not go to my Ipod 8gb serial #1c911w4y201

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
