4th gen ipod photo wont recognize any connection

I fully discharged my ipod recently when the battery was near dead. I went to plug it in this morning to charge/update it and my comp wouldnt recognize a new connection, nor would my ipod even get a charging status. I then used a wall adapter and its still nto charging. I cant get it to reset, power on, or show a charge icon. what do you think is wrong?

Have your tried to do a Reset?

  • Does anyone know if the Toshiba 240GB 1.8" MK2431GAH Hard Drive will work in the 4th gen iPod Photo?

    I've been considering buying a Toshiba 240GB 1.8" MK2431GAH Hard Drive for my 4th gen iPod Photo.  Does anyone have any information about this product and if it will work?  Would I have to also get a thicker back panel?

    And the reason is because the connector on the later versions of the Toshiba 1.8-inch hard drives is different.
    The older type that works with your iPod goes up to 60GB.  There are two physical sizes, base on whether the drive has one platter or two platters, and these correspond to the "thick" and "thin" iPod back panels.
    I have a 4th gen iPod with a standard compact flash card for storage, which replaces the hard drive through an adapter.  I believe it's this one, or one like it
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
    It fits in the "thin" back panel.  The only modification I needed to make was bending over the pair of "jumper" pins that sets it for master or slave (needs to be set for master).  Currently, I only have an 8GB CF card in there, but it works great.  At some point, I may get a 64GB CF card for it.  Solid state storage is much better than a hard drive for everything except sheer capacity.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

          I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch.  it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all.  I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod.  i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing.  i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod.  i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work.  PLEASE HELP ME!!

  • 4th Gen iPod will not mount or connect to Windows

    Hi, one of my iPods will not connect to Windows XP. Its a 4th Gen 40gb non photo iPod
    The iPod still plays and works "normally" as a portable device (ie I can play music), but I cannot connect it to my pc at all.
    When I plug it in via either USB or Firewire ports the iPod disc whirrs and gets stuck in a loop (that can last over 2 hours plus) before i need to reset it in order to disconnect it from the pc.
    When I connect, it doesn't launch iTunes as it should.
    It doesn't appear in My Computer.
    It doesnt appear in Computer Management>Disk Management
    Latest iPod updater cannot read it (even when put in disk mode) and tells me that it can't mount the iPod.
    Also, the iPod has since started to mess my PC up - it will not allow the PC to boot up with the iPod connected. If I connect the iPod to the PC with iTunes already launched it causes iTunes to freeze and crash. When I go to restart the PC, Windows will not shutdown.
    Getting sick now - any ideas please (besides throwing it out the window!)?
    It's weird how the iPod still plays, but it will not connect to the PC when my other 4G 30gb photo and Shuffle will.

    I have tried resetting and restoring the ipod before, and I have put it into disk mode too (in order to restore it) but the ipod updater said it could not mount it
    However, I did try Deanz advice by putting it into disk mode whilst attached to the mains and then connecting it to the PC has at least enabled me to see it in "My Computer" for the first time as (the "F" drive), even if iTunes is not recognising it.
    However, when I attempt to see the ipod in Disk Management I get the same problem outlined above in an earlier post (grey screen).
    If I try to browse the iPod via My computer that task freezes. Task Manager claims the function is "not responding"
    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Anyway, all my music is backed up so that's not a problem. The iPod works, but I can't update it so it could be worse. Not really sure how to remap the iPod to a different drive letter
    [edit] During the process of closing down the non-responsive "My Computer", Windows had a major gimp out and completely froze me out until I reset the ipod an put it back into disc mode (again). Then Windows reappeared in the same state before it crashed. I suspect this is due to some kind of conflict with the iPod as it has done this a few times now since my iPod started acting up (and only when the iPod is connected).

  • 4th gen ipod touch wont work after 6.0 update? stuck on boot screen

    last night i downloaded the new os for apple. i plug it in to the comp and its in recovery mode? anyway then i install the update and restore, (that was the only option i could do) but now my ipod after restarting wont go past the boot menu, also my computer no longer recognizes my ipod any help anywhere?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 4th gen ipod touch wont charge, turn on, or appear in itunes for recovery.

    I have been trying to fix it for a few days now, repeatedly being linked to the same support pages but to no success. I ran the diagnostics tool in iTunes and everything is working fine it is just the device wont appear at all. I saw a back up that is saved from a few months back but i'm not sure what to do with it. It is stuck in a black screen, and nothing appears on screen. I have left it plugged into a wall charger and into my computer for several hours but no progress. It has 6.1.5.

    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.
    - Try another cable       
    - 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 4th gen ipod nano wont accept mp4.

    I tried converting youtube videos to mp4 on zamzar. I even tried converting it to ipod. It used to accept these videos but recently it will say: "____" was not copied to "___" because it cannot be played on this ipod. I have no idea what to do.

    Is the video in your iTunes library?  If so, use the iTunes built in converter to convert it to a more iPod friendly format.  To do this, highlight the video and then choose Create an iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu.  When it has finished converting try syncing the new version to your Nano.

  • 4th Gen. iPod photo - Access is denied.

    I am having trouble opening my iPod in 'My Computer'. I have tried two iPods on two different computers and they both say 'access is denied' when I try to open them in My Computer. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Without much further info on the initial post (i.e., whether the computers referred to have multiple user accounts on them), I can't say for certain. For the first reply, however, it sounds like either an Administrative rights issue at your workplace (meaning talk to the IT dept, perhaps, depending on your workplace), or something further.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

  • Itunes wont recognize my 4th gen ipod touch but computer will

    iTunes refuses to recognize my 4th gen. iPod touch. Both are up to date with software and ive restarted my computer, ipod, and itunes multiple times and done everything ive found online. the computer recognizes it and says its working properly, but itunes does not put it anywhere in the devices. nor can i find it.

    You need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to copy photos from photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • TS1456 My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.
