Dead iPod 1 - WiFi

My 32GB WiFi iPad is 3 months old. Last night I downloaded a book and read for a while - then I turned it off, and plugged it in to charge overnight (as I have done routinely). In the morning it turned on briefly - and then when dead. It will not start.
So, OK, let's do a reset.
When I plug it into my computer I get a message that iTunes could not connect to the iPad because an invalid response was received from the device.
There is no "Re-Set" button on the iPad - it can only be done with a software connection. And, if the iPad is dead - it cannot connect to be reset. A classic "catch 22."
There are some documents in the iPad that I need for work -- and I need to be connected to the iPad to see them in iTunes.
Not good!

Yes, Yes, Yes
I held down the power and the home buttons - and my iPad came back to life.
Then I was able to do a reset from iTunes after backing up -- and I am good to go.
Many thanks to all who helped.
(My iPad is under Apple Care, however, and I was dreaming of a way in which they would replace my dead version 1 with an iPad 2 ----- )

Is there a way to transfer music from a dead Ipod to a new one?

My Ipod won't charge and I have another one to use for music and idk how t put music on there from my dead ipod I don't have my music on my computer cuz I got detleed

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the computer does not see the iPod there is no way to get info off the iPod except a Data Recovery Company might be able to do it.

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on?

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.

Dead iPod touch during 3.0 update process

Cross-posted to "iPod Touch" forum... But because another person had a similar problem with Vista as well, am posting here too in case someone can help...
...Not only during update to 3.0, but also during update to 2.2.1 and during a restore attempt 6 weeks ago. All 3 "dead" iPods have been replaced by Apple - I'd like a solution...
I have videoed the update taking place and the iPod dying during it - sadly it is in MOV format (439MB) and I cannot convert to an uploadable version for Youtube... By DEAD, I mean, no power and will not display ANYTHING on the screen. Simply won't power up again.
This is what happens: Download update using iTunes... Extracting software... Backing up iPod... Preparing the iPod for the software update... (iPod shows USB plug and CD - then apple logo...) then the updating progress line appears on iTunes and on touch. Updating iPod software... Verifying updated iPod software... Updating the iPod firmware... White progress line on iPod disappears after a few seconds and screen goes black. Error message displays on iTunes - "The iPod xxxx could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)"
iPod is now dead and needs to be replaced,
1) Has anyone experienced this?
2) Has anyone SOLVED it?
Maybe related is a problem with some videos that have happened recently (and were the cause of me trying to restore the iPod last time it died) MP4 (or MPV files) play for about 20-30 minutes, then screen goes white, then black, then apple logo appears, then iPod returns to home screen after about 30 seconds. My usual solution to this has been to remove all videos, photos (which are corrupted by this time), audio, and then re-sync back.
I'd appreciate ANY help please. I intend buying an iPhone soon and would like to know that the problem won't occur on that, every time I try to restore.
Cheers!

Ipod wifi wont go up

My ipods wifi bar if soposed to be 3 bars and it shows only one why?

Because the signal strength is not that high. How many arcs is shown depends upon the signal strength. Youdo not always get three arcs

I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

Hello,
I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
Thanks.

"In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

If your BB has a microSIM on AT&T and you buy an unlocked iPhone you could use it to activate the iPhone then return it to your BB, assuming your work has not locked this out. Or you could get a microSIM from AT&T, start an account, activate the iPhone then cancel the account and pay the $350 ETF. The problem with this route is if you had to restore the iPhone you would have to do it again.
Trust me, the camera on the iPhone 4s is not worth the over $1,000 you would have to pay.
You could also wait until next year when they upgrade the camera on the Touch.

Ipod Wifi being all screwy

My ipod Wifi says it is connected in the sys prefs, but when I look at the top left corner, the wifi signal is not there, indicating no conection. Sys prefs shows all three bars.
I have the internet off most the time so my windows computers have less of a chance of getting infected so I assigned my ipod with a static IP that lets me use the internet whenever. However this is not working anymore.
All of this is at my home network.

Fixed it.

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

did not help at all; the problem continues the same

"Dead iPod" icon on screen -- help!

Hi. I have a fifth generation iPod that went dead on me today. Is my music and iPod lost?
The iPod froze mid-play so I reset it. I had to repeat this a few times (froze, reset). Then it turned on and I could hear and feel the iPod gears turning and clicking in a way that I've never heard or felt before. Almost like something was loose. Then I got the dreaded "Dead iPod" icon (ipod with two x eyes and a frowning face) with an exclamation point and the apple.com support address. It won't take me to the main menu. Oh no!
Then I remembered that today my iPod got stuck to a magnet that is on the clasp of my bag. I don't know how long it was there for, but it's never been stuck to that before. Maybe that is what did it.
Can someone help me understand and fix this? Please?
1. What should I do? Should I try plugging it into a computer to restore it?
2. Is my music lost? Is there a backdoor way to pull the files off of my iPod?
3. Is there any hope at all for my iPod or should I just toss in the towel.
Thanks in advance!!

The magnet might have destroyed the iPod's hard drive if the drive was spinning and the magnet caused the read/write head(s) of the drive to crash into the platter(s).
An example of what I mean...

Dead ipod shuffle first generation

Hi everyone! First time here. Lots of great information, but I can't find my answer. Mine works fine until I plug it into the USB and then there is absolutely nothing. No lights, no nothing. Anybody had this happen before? Please help! I love my music!

Hi have you tried the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility? Here is the link to the application.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/ipodshuffleresetutility1 01forwindows.html
It may help fix your dead iPod however you may need to run the application a few times for it to work.
Hope this finds you well.

I fixed my dead :( iPod

Hi, I thought I'd share this one with those who've had the dreaded " iPod go to support" picture come up on their iPods.
Some 18 months ago my 2nd gen monchrome 40 Gig Click Wheel iPod got corrupted when connected to someone else's computer. I followed all the descriptions on the Apple site to no avail. Every now & then I tried it again, but still dead. This is what I did to get it back to life.
1) Pressed the centre button with the menu button. Waited for the Apple symbol then put the iPod to my ear. As I listened to the hard drive it sounded as if it was "stuck" in trying to get started much like I compared to a record player stuck in the groove.
I'd listened to this b4 but this time decided to physically give the iPod a shock by dropping it (upright) onto the base of my hand in order to jog the hard drive playing head.
2) I then quickly pressed the centre button & fast forward. That's when it sprang to life & gave me the language screen
3) It then asked me to refresh it via iTunes. It came up as "brand new" status. I re-installed the firmware to 3.1.1
4) Finally charged it the iPod via a mains adapter I have.
2 days later it's still working perfectly. I really believe the jogging was the turning point, & hope my story will be of help to those with the same problem.

Ok I don't recommend that anyone try this, but it worked for me. I have had a dead ipod with all the same symptotes as the above and I tried a small tap on my hand that did not do it but then I tapped it on a harder surface, my chair. And it sprang to life. I figured it could do no more harm. But like I said I could have wound up buying a new on at around $200-$300, SO DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!

Retrieving notes from dead iPod

Hi everyone, I have a first generation ipod that is dead, will not turn on, not sure if it is the battery or something else. Is there someway that I could get the notes (350) off of it? If I take the hard drive out and swap it into a working ipod, will that do the trick? I'm thinking of going this route rather than trying to get the dead ipod repaired because the home key is also not working, and for some reason you have to be right by the router for it to pick up the wi-fi. I had not synced the ipod with my laptop in a long time, so there is no backup of the notes.

I had written many notes right before the ipod died and had not synced the ipod with my laptop in such a long time that if there is a backup of the notes, there would only be like 20 of the 350 notes. If I swap the logic board with the built in solid state memory chip into a working ipod touch and all goes well, then all my notes, Safari bookmarks, contacts & apps would be there?
