5 th Generation ipod crashed after I downloaded recommended itunes updates on my computer. Any ideas what I can do

My 5th generation ipod was working perfectly. I downloaded recommended itunes updates on my dell pc with xp operating system. A couple of days later, I plugged in the ipod to charge it. When I next attempted to eject it, the screen was black and it will not turn on. Does anyone have any advice or information as to what I can do?

HT201269 i downloaded the itunes it says error -3212 any idea what is wrong,

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

HT4759 I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

After a download of an update too long, my iPhone is stuck, I can not use it. I tried to restore it but iTunes (latest version) crashes.

After a download of an update too long, I decided to cancel it and now my iPhone is stuck. I can not use it anymore.My Iphone can start but after that the apple disappears, I have a black background. I tried to restore it but iTunes (latest version) crashes. Whan can I do ??
Thanks.

You mean you tried to hack/jailbreak it. ONLY the carrier a phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
You've voided your warranty and forfeited your right to support here and from Apple. Congratulations. You now own an iBrick. Hope it was worth it.

Trying to update Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro 2010 platform. The App Store starts the downloading, than stops. Error (102). Any idea what goes wrong? Thx

Just installed Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro 2010 platform.
The App Store shows there is an upgrade, so I click the download button.
After about 2 hrs the process stops and an Error (102) appears on the screen.
Any idea what goes wrong?
THX

You just now installed 10.8.5? Did you purchase that at the app store?
What is the upgrade being offered?
FWIW, you are not running iOS on a Mac Pro (we are talking about the desktop tower Mac Pro, right?)

HT1725 I've followed the advice to re-commence downloading an interrupted video but I still keep getting an error message. I then deleted the video to start again but the original is still trying to download in the iTunes app. Any ideas what I can do? Tha

I started downloading a video from iTunes last night on my ipad when my wifi dropped out. Once I'd reconnected my wifi I tried to recommence the download but it kept saying that download was not available at this time. I then tried the steps in iTunes help but got the same message. Finally, I deleted the video (the part that had downloaded) from my video section and tried to start the download again from the start. However, when I go to iTunes it's still trying to download the original and even this morning I'm still getting the error message. Any ideas what I could do to get the video downloaded? I currently only have access to my ipad. Thanks.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

HT1339 Restoring iPod nano to factory settings failed. The device switched to black screen immediately and is dead since then. Any idea what I can do now?

This week, my iPod nano suddenly seemed to have lost all the music that was on it.
when connecting to iTunes, it showed that the music was still there.
I tries to create a new playlist with 1 song in it and according to iTunes, that was successfull.
the iPod however still said 0 numbers are available in the music list.
finally, i executed the restore factory settings and that process failed.
the device immediately switched to blank screen and is dead since then.
when I connect the iPod to the computer, the computer detects that a device is connected and even recognizes it as an iPod.
however, the device is not visisble in the windows explorer.
iTunes automatically starts but shows the error message: the connected iPod cannot be identified ... unrecognized error (2005).
Does someone have an idea what I can do to make the iPod work again?
thanks!

I tried by connecting to another available PC.
I newly installed iTunes on a PC that did not have the installation.
Connecting the iPod to this PC gave following error: "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes."
I followed the instructions in the "more information" section: iTunes version is the latest available; operating system version is up-to-date, no security obstructions and I rebooted my pc as suggested.
Next attempt to connect the iPod gave another error: "An iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occurred (2005)".
This is exactly the same error as on the first PC.
the iPod is still out of use

IPod dead after carrying out RECOMMENDED security update! Any ideas?

At the beginning of December 2006, I installed the most up to date version of iTunes when prompted to do so. I was then informed by iTunes that my iPod required a security update and so I downloaded this update. My iPod (5th Generation model) seemed to freeze half way through the process. It keeps attempting to load and then crashing when I try to switch it on. The iPod is now no longer being recognised at all by My Computer. I tried all of the recommended troubleshooting steps and advice with no success.
My iPod now doesn’t even turn on properly and given that the PC doesn’t recognise there is a device attached to it, we cannot take any of the troubleshooting steps to fix it.
If changes had been made to the PC, these may have caused the problem and I could have looked at some troubleshooting solutions such as tweaking with the PC registry, updates of drivers etc. However, it is clearly not a PC issue as I have tried to plug the iPod in to three PC’s with no success. The iPod hard drive no longer starts so I'm 99.9% certain it is an issue with the iPod hard drive – the security update has essentially scrambled/killed the iPod hard drive and it seems to need to be completely reset. I have tried the '5 R's' and that did not work. I also managed to get the iPod into diagnostics mode and it says it has issues!
I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with my iPod prior to attempting this security update (which was recommended by Apple). The iPod has therefore mal-functioned through no fault of my own – if I hadn’t been prompted to download this security update, I have no doubts that it would still be in good working order.
Any ideas!!
PS - this essential security update and subsequent death of my Ipod occurred exactly one day after my 1 year warranty expired!! Call me a cynic but do I smell a rat?
5th Generation iPod Video 30GB Windows XP

My problem started after downloading 3.1.2. It gave an error message that said it could not install the program due to an error. It gave me the option of sending the error message to Apple. I declined. My ipod now only displays a screen that shows a usb cable being plugged into itunes. The computer will not read it and it will not sync. My ipod is basically dead. Ive tried all of the fixes to restart it but have had no success. Holding down the power and home button did not work. I held it for nearly 20 seconds. The power will shut off then the apple will appear. Then the usb cable appears again. I purchased my ipod on 10-1-09. Im going to take it back for an exchange.

I'm trying to download itunes, but after clicking download it just takes me to a screen that says thanks for downloading itunes, but nothing has downloaded, any ideas what I can try?

I had it before but had to reinstall windows due to a software glitch. But now I'm up and running again, so I went to downlaod Itunes, only to find it wont run and download at all it skips straight from download now to thanks for downloading in practically 2 seconds and nothings downloaded. Its really fustrating and I have no idea why this is the case or what I can do to get it to download, please help. I have never had a problem downloading it in the past. I use windows 7, with google chorome and IE 10, tried it on both to no avail.

My Ipad 1 doesn't charge even after 5 hours of charging. I tried pressing the power and home button to reset it (even tried toggling the mute button a few times), but It doesn't start up with the apple logo. Anyone has any ideas what else can I try

a have tried everyting now a dont have a clue what too do??

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I have first gen I pad and using king app like candy crush and all of a sudden they are crashing when I try open or play them any ideas what I can o, they seem can help me,

I have I pad first gen and have laded King App Candy Crush and all of sudden they keep crashing when I try playing them, any suggestions. king Forum was no help.

One of the basic troubleshooting steps for apps that continue to crash is to delete them and reinstall them. but you don't want to do that because you will lose all of your progress and have to start all over again. On the other hand, if the apps are unplayable anyway, what good is the progress that you have achieve if the apps won't work?
I would start with real basic things. Close all other apps on your iPad, reset the device and then see if that makes any difference. Since you are running iOS 5, you close apps by double tapping the home button to get to the multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app icon until all of the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon. Close all of the apps in the multitasking try this way. Swipe to the left to get to each and every app and close them all. After they have all been close, tap the home button twice.
Now reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the Apple logo and let the iPad start up. Try Candy Crush or one of the other games and see how they work for you now.

Since I had my computer upgraded to Windows 7 I had to re install itunes. My itunes library has disappeared and my ipod is no longer syncing music from itunes. Any ideas what I can do?

since I had my computer upgraded to Windows 7 i had to reinstall itunes. my music library disappeared and my ipod classic no lnger synces music from itunes. what can I do?

You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

My mail application doesn't show e-mails in a timely manner. They show up hours after they are sent. Any idea what I can do?

When I click on the stamp to get my e-mails, some of them come up but not all of them. I can open a window and log into aol and see that
it shows I have a lot more e-mails that don't appear in my mail application. Also, some e-mails disappear before I have a chance to open
them. I don't know what's going on. If I close out my mail application and re-open it, they reappear. Does anyone know how to help me?

All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.
