I came back and it finished restoring, i unhooked the ipod from my computer to see if it worked it didnt do nothing when i tried to turn it on all i see is a picture of it telling me to plug it into an outlet(never seen any ipod do this before) so im all like ok it needs to charge. So i plugged it into my computer and left it there to charge for 2 hours. I came back and nothing happened i tried to turn it on but it did the same thing i restarted the ipod like a hundred times nothing i restarted my computer a hundred times and nothing i switched USB ports and nothing it dont even detect it.

When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.

Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

Please help ipod wont sync

i just got my ipod for christmas & when i hook up my ipod 2 sync an error message comes up saying that it the file cant be read or written to. This is drving me crazy please help any info will be helpfull!

Hi Mike_200207,
Does it work if you manually manage your iPod's music?
To switch to that setting, click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab. Deselect the "Sync" option, and click on "Apply" in the bottom-right corner of this iTunes screen to save your settings.
Then, in iTunes, click on your iPod's "Music" section. Manually select all of the songs, and delete them off of your iPod. Then eject/disconnect the iPod from your computer.
Now, connect it back to the computer again, and try to manually transfer all of your iTunes library songs to your iPod (to do that, select all of the songs, and drag them to your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes).
After the songs have loaded to your iPod, you can eject/disconnect it again, and see if all of the songs that you transferred appear on the iPod.
For more information on how to manually manage your iPod's music, see this:

5th Gen Ipod Not Syncing or Charging

I'm having problems getting my ipod to sync or charge. I've tried my wall charger and it's not detecting it. It's not being detected by my computer. I've tried 2 different cords and replaced the battery. I haven't had any problems with it. It's been clicking for awhile which makes me think the hard drive. So now I'm here. ^_^ Can anyone help me please? I just want to make sure it's the hard drive before I go and spend money on another part. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hello Seirra I,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The clicking noise very well could be signs of a failing hard drive, but before we make any final assumptions or decisions, let's just make sure you have tried everything you could.
Have you worked through each potential troubleshooting solution provided in these Apple support documents? You stated a couple of troubleshooting techniques in your post above, but it wouldn't hurt to try the rest of them at this point right?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Another option is to see if you can get another computer to recognize it. From there you can determine if the problem lies with your iPod or your PC.
If not luck with any of the above, I would definitely recommend getting the hard drive replaced. You can either opt to do it your self, have it serviced by Apple, or a third party company repair it for you. That decision is entirely yours.
Hope this helps.

What do i do if my ipod wont turn on, charge, or connect to itunes

what do i do if my ipod wont turn on, charge, or connect to itunes

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.

Ipod touch 4 wont sync or charge

Please help!!!! My ipod touch 4 gen is 1 year and 2 months old. When i connect it to the wall charger the charging icon will not apper. If i plug it into the computer it says that its an unknown device and needs a driver, it will not sync or charge. If i shut it off and plug it in it will turn on (usaully that means its charging) but then the icon wont apper.I've tryed it on different computers and bought a new cord and it didnt work. Then i put it in DFU mode and that didnt work. So then i erased everything because i know that worked before and that didnt work either. So then i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes which didnt work either. Then i tryed a different charger and then that didnt work.My friend plugged his ipod touch 4 gen into my computer with the same cord i was using and his worked perfectly fine. Like i said my ipod is over a year old and i cannot afford to get it fixed nor go to the apple store because its an hour away. Im not going there just to be told theres nothing they can do and i have to pay for some nonsense. If anyone can help i would deeply apperciate it!
PS im using windows one is xp and one is windows 7

Based on the troubleshooting you performed, it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hey,
Last night my computer wouldnt sync my ipod.And i did all the steps listed but then i went and ran a dignostic test on my ipod. This can be done through opening Itunes and then in the help menu click on run diagnostic.. Then when it did that, it said my ipod wouldnt connect properly and then i clicked on the show help. It took me to this page (link provided below)

Then i clicked on the first option which is 'Restart the ipod service' After doin that my ipod has been working fine ever since. Thought you might like to try it if you havent already sorted out the problem.

Ipod wont sync music. . .please help

Ok I've had my Ipod since last Christmas and I've tryed plugging it into the computer the last few days and all of a sudden it doesn't sync. It doesn't show that my Ipod is connected when Itunes is up. I can see my Ipod charging but it wont sync my songs. Please someone help me I love my ipod.

Yeah I have the same problem, only I got my iPod just this past June. I keep plugging it into the computer, and it's being recognized by the computer because it's charging, but iTunes isn't seeing it because it won't give me the option to sync it. I tried turning autosync on and off and I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but it still won't do anything. Can anybody help?

My Ipod wont sync with my new library and I dont know why not. It will show that it is connected through home sharing, but it is only avalible when i am with my laptop! I dont know how to get this current library as mine on my ipod, help!

My ipod will not sync with my laptop. I have had previous Ipods in the past, but since then I have grown out of most of my music. Also about a year and a half ago I got a new laptop. I used the same Itunes name, but now on my new Ipod it has all of my old music and it refuses to download any of my new music. When I am using home sharing though, it says that I can turn on my "Library" but that my "music" is what is perminately on the computer. This only works though if I am near my laptop. When I try to transfer my library onto my ipod it wont let me. My music on my ipod is completely different than my normal itunes library on my computer and I have no idea how to transfer it. When I plug it in, it wont sync at all, or show that there is any device even plugged in. I am frustrated and tired of not having any of my music, so someone please help!!!

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

HELP! iPod wont sync!! (diff problem 2 others..)

hi, i have an 80g ipod video (2006).
i just purchased a tone of new songs and the piece of crap wont sync them. unlike the other similar threads i don't get any messages or error messages etc. for me, it syncs as normal but does not put the new songs onto the ipod! i also deleted a play list and it doesn't seem to be updating that either!!
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

My ipod wont sync all my music/files, comes up with an error now

HI there!
My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
I try to sync it and it says it has synced it but only puts on about 200 songs out of 2000- not even that, before it says unknown error and then wipes it all off,and wont sync! someone please help! It isnt the memory as I have 160g!
I have restored it many times, uninstalled and installed itunes a few times too, and nothing
Also when i plug my ipod in it comes up on my laptop screen that i should scan and fix my ipod as files on there that arent right?!
It's very frustrating and Im hoping someone can help me soon,
Kelly

My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
Let's start with the basic: What changed between the last time it worked and nopw? Did you update your iTunes to a newer version? Plug in any new USB devices? Change the port to which you connect your iPod? Add any new devices that changed drive letters? Apply any patches? Drop or expose the iPod to temperature extremes?
If we know what changed, we can start to figure out how that change caused this problem.
P.S.: If your answer to "what changed" is what I think it is (i.e., you updated iTunes), then reading this summary post of mine may give you a clue as to the problem.

My ipod wont sync any of the tv shows I bought from my ipod, but I can sync the ones that I bought from my computer. I didnt click manually manage tv shows and I made sure to click all of them to sync. I didnt get them illegally btw. Thanks !

thanks for reading this people.
I have a third generation 32 GB ipod touch. I have the second newest version of itunes, and use a Windows 7. I bought 28 tv shows from my ipod (NOT computer) (some of them were the free kinds, if that has anything to do with anything). But, when I tried to sync them onto my cmoputer, then sync them BACK onto my ipod. it wont...
I DID NOT check the manually manage videos thing, and i DID click all of them to sync. It is sorta bugging me because i really want to see my glee..:D
but the weird things is, my songs and apps that i bought from my ipod WILL sync back. But it is just my tv shows... x(
PLEASE help!!!!!!!!!!
if there is anything else you need to know to help me, please tell!
thanks,
Sarah

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
