Have you tried dropping your Ipod? I read it on these forums and decided to try it myself. I dropped it 3 times from waist height onto a carpet. It has worked fine since.

  • PLEASE HELP?  Desperate, I can't get the iPod to Restore!!

    In desperation, I want to restore my ipod, as nothing else I have tried has worked.
    I cannot get to that step. I have done everything I am supposed to, going by Apple's list, and nothing has worked.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled. I have gone down their list, and nothing is working, the updater won't recognize that the ipod is connected, even though it is, and is showing up in Windows.
    PLEASE HELP ME?

    hi lidea!
    if you're connecting to a Toshiba laptop, first see:

    but otherwise, here's a good place to start:

  • Can't get the Ipod to connect properly

    here is the problem
    - I have reinstalled itunes, and the drivers, and windows
    - I have tried diffrent machines, and diffent usb drives.
    After reinstaling windows and installing the drivers, I restart as the program tells me. I then plug in the ipod and it says USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE. Then says Apple IPOD. After that it freezes there for about 45 minues (I get tired of waiting). During this time I can move the mouse but I can't select anything. After Removing the plug I get Device installed succesfully.
    Then I restart after the reboot I plug in the Ipod. I don't get a disc drive, itunes doesn't recongize the ipod. And it tells me not to remove. I then reboot the ipod. The last time I tried it I heard a grind come out of the ipod.
    I've had it since december of 06, But it was purchase late nov of 06
    help

  • Deploying to Iraq this week and I can't get the ipod working!

    My best beloved got me a new (to me) ipod to take with when deployed. I've been trying to get some music loaded to it to take with me but I can't get ITunes OR my computer to recognize that the ipod even exists. I've searched this site top to bottom and tried every solution I've come across. Deleted HKeys. The 5R's. Reboots. Everything short of throwing my bloody computer out the window. Can ANYONE help? I tried even every article listed back on 9/12 when a similar question was asked. So short of buying a new new ipod is there anything to be done?

  • Can not get the ipod to set up

    My ipod will not come up for set up.  Just bought it 2 days ago and already very dissapointed in it.  Can not get it to sync.  Thank you

    Did you download and install the latest version of iTunes from here?
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Are you using the USB cable that came with the shuffle? 
    If you are using a USB hub as connection point, try connecting it directly to a USB port on computer.  If there are other USB devices connected at the same time, you may want to try it with only the shuffle connected (except for standard keyboard and mouse).

  • Hey guys/gals! for some reason I can't get the ipod on iphone to work.

    I touch the ipod icon, and the screen turns blank for a few seconds and then reverts to the home screen...any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, you're in the wrong forum. But when you get this posted on the right forum, I expect they wlll suggest the problem is with either the camera's port or its settings – since capture works with other cameras and presumably the same cable. So doublecheck to ensure your camera is set to hdv if captuiring hdv and so forth.

  • I have the Watchtime app on my iPad (1) and after an iPad restore my purchased items in the watch time app will not restore, however the items appear for purchase. how can i get the items to restore.

    Puchased items in my watchtime app will not restore to my ipad (1) after an ipad restore. The items appear ready for purchase. how can i restore the items.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • Ipod 5th generation stuck in headphone mode how can you get the ipod out of headphone mode?

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop.  I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID.  How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

    I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID.  What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

    Also
    If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
