Ipod wont start up / 1.1 problem??

last night my ipod was working just fine, then i upgraded to software 1.1 then spent the whole night loading songs onto my ipod. everything seemed to work fine, when updating was complete i ejected the ipod correctly. then however when i went to use the ipod, all i get is the apple logo for a couple seconds, it restarts and the apple logo comes back on over and over. i cant get the ipod to startup all the way, i think this is a problem with the 1.1 software but when i plug the usb cord in, the computer wont recognize the ipod so i cannot downgrade. anyone have any ideas on what to do I don't want to send it in.

Try reseting/restoring your iPod... But if your computer doesn't recognize it then you might just have to take it to an Apple store to have it fixed/replaced

Ipod wont start but syncs normally

I have a problem that seemed to arrive about the same time as Apple updated iTunes to 5.0. My iPod Photo 60gb wont start up to play music anymore. It shows a picture signaling some error and the URL to Apples support site (apple.com/support/ipod) for a few seconds, then shuts of. Apples site gives no clues as to what's the matter though.
The strange thing is that the iPod seems to be working ok when connected to the Mac. It syncs normally and seems to be working as a harddisk.
I have tried a hard reset holding down those two buttons but this does not resolve the problem. I have also tried to download the latest software for the iPod from Apples website, but this won't install.
Does anyone know what to do?

Well... my iPod is not starting at all. even after the steps this tutorial told me to do. i was trying to pick a song on my iPod and then all of a sudden it froze for about 3 minutes and then shut off. and i havent been able to turn it on since. the battery was charged and not low. i tried toggling the hold button and hitting reset even while it was charging with the battery and still nothing. all i hear is the iPod going "vroooom beep" over and over. like its trying to start but cant. its been doing that for almost 12hrs and i dont know what else to do. please help.

Ipod wont start up

My 3G Ipod got disconnected while applying the latest update. Now It wont mount to my pc. When I plug in the Ipod the Apple symbol Appers for a few seconds, then a picture of the Ipod plug (the part that plugs into the bottom of the Ipod) appers on the Ipod screen, there is also and arrow pointing away from the plug. I'm guessing its telling me to plug it in, but it is pluged in!! The Ipod then turns off after 2seconds. When its pluged in a message pops up on my computer saying "USB Device Not Recognised".
I also have a Photo Ipod and it will mount to my computer no problem. I have tried all the USB ports but same thing keeps displaying on the Ipod! Resetting it doesn't fix it either.
3G Windows XP Ipod Photo works fine.

Hello,
First try ] these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If does not work, please have a check of your iPod in diagnostic mode
Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

What do i do if my ipod wont start up ?

Ipod touch 4th generation. Will not start up charge or connect to itunes. The device worked this morning and later when i came home the device would not charge or start up. I tried to plug into the computer but itunes would not recognize it. The device was bought 2 months ago.

Yay! That means you are still in warranty. If you end up needing service, as long as there is no major physical damage and you havent gotten it wet, you should be squared away.
Here's some stuff to try and of course the last step is get service on the iPod, so I put a few links down there to help you.
Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.

My ipod wont start up and wont connect to itunes

My iPod Touch 4g was jailbroken at ios 5, then I wanted to un-jailbreak it and update to ios 6.1.3. So without connecting to iTunes I just tapped software update in settings and about halfway trought downloading it shut down and rebooted, 10 seconds into start up (my ipod usually takes just over a minute) it turns off and reboots, it cuts out and tries again, this repeats until the battery is dead. iTunes does not pick up my iPod with full or no battery. Please help ASAP, I have nothing to take it's place until I get an iPad 5 when it comes out. (I am in New Zealand)

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

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem

someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE help me!!! i really need to fix this as i am going away next week and would like to listen to NEW songs on my trip!!! lol

Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

TS2771 my whole ipod wont start up

My ipod has a blank screen, i have tried holding down the home and power button at the same time. it turns off then starts to turn back on... but then the screen goes blank again. any help?

Put the Device in DFU Mode:
To put the device in DFU mode,
1. Connect the device to iTunes
2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.

MY IPOD WONT START AND WONT RESET

Hello, I own the 20g ipod with colour display and picture storage. Recently i had it connected to my computer and it was displaying the do not disconnect message. However it was not doing anything on my computer. I decided to disconnect it and since then when i try turning my ipod on there is and error message with a picture of an ipod with a sad face and exlamation point. I have tried everything to fix it. I have tried reseting it but it does not fix it. I have tried putting it in disk mode and connecting it to my computer but it does not respond. It does make the beeping noise when i connect it in disk mode but does not show up on my computer. If you have any suggestions on how i could fix this problem i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
R.O:
"Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.
