Flickering green light when trying to connect ipod???? Won't open!

I can't get ipod to open up in Windows/itunes. I connect it to the USB and there is a continuous flickerig green light on the front face panel of the ipod. The USB is fine as I have tested other things in there.
The ipod still plays and works when not connected to my computer but my battery is getting lower and lower since I can't recharge/update it.
Please help!!

Hi Kelly,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Does your iPod show up on your Windows (but not iTunes)? Have you looked at Knowledge Base Document #61711, which troubleshoots When Your Windows PC Doesn't Recognize iPod and Knowledge Base Document #301343 on iPod Not Recognized When Connected to Windows Laptop over USB? You might want to try "The Five Rs".
I hope that helps,

Blue screen when trying to connect ipod

When trying to connect my ipod to my computer it reboots it into a blue screen that looks something like this...
STOP: 000000007F (0000000008, 0X80154000 etc, etc.)
minidump something something.
I looked in my minidump folder but there was nothing in it. Any suggestions?

Okay.
Let's see if we can get a minidump generated for the crash.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
With those settings in place, does a minidump file get generated for the crash?

I/O error when trying to connect iPod to PC

I'm having issues with iTunes / iPod because every time I've tried to connect it to my PC it says the folder has been moved and it not accesible, and this is due to an I/O error. I've tried uninstalling the programme and then re-installing the latest version of iTunes which downloads fine but as soon as I try to connect my iPod to it the same thing happens. Could this be due to the USB cable I'm using (it is the actual iPod cable) or is it iTunes or my iPod? Anyone have any advice for me please? :s

Please post in the forum for the software you are using to read PDFs -

System crash when trying to connect IPod touch (blue screen)

Hello all!
All of a sudden, my computer running on Windows XP doesn't recognize my iPod touch anymore. Changing the USB-Port and re-installing iTunes did not help. The actualization of the driver resulted in the system to recognize the iPod for a couple of seconds, but then the system crashed and a blue screen appeared, which made it necessary to restart the system. I had the same thing four times today now and have absoultely no idea what else I could do. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!

My gen 4 ipod shuffle is not showing the green light when I switch it on (Green area shown). But when I plug it into the computer there initial orange blink and then solid orange. What wrong with it and how can I fix it.

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

Airport Express error (-15006) when trying to connect as a remote speaker?

I use an Airport Express (g) to port music to my stereo.
Recently it stopped working and although the green light is on (ie connected) when I try and connect iTunes to it gives me the waiting bar and then error (-15006).
I've tried doing a 'hard' reset on the unit and reconfiguring it but no change.
Is it broken or is this a software/setup issue?
Thanks,
Dan.

After reading dozens of reports about this issue in this forum I found my solution and I want to thank everybody for their contribution. Here is what I did. I think this can help many of you that are having your airport not recognized by airport utility:
1- connect your aiport express to your computer with an ethernet cable
2- while mantaining your aiport express connected to your computer by this cable do a factory reset (see apple support to learn how to do this simple procedure)
3- at this time you will see a steady ambar light in your airport express
4- launch airport utility and wait 30-50 seconds
5- airport express should now appear with factory settings ready to be setup
If you have an Airport Extreme base station and want your airport express joining your network follow the above procedure and TURN ON airport in your Mac in order you can access your airport express through airport utility.
I hope this help you. My airport express (n) is working again with firmware 7.4.1 that many people claim to have a bug as is air tunes. My house is a 2 story building and this airport is on the top floor where te network could be problematic but it is not.
Regards,
Jose

Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S.

Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S. It freezes itunes and I can't do anything else. I see that there is an update for my phone and I need to back up, upload new apps, etc before installing. I plug my phone in and get this error every time. I am using a Win 7 SP1

Howdy Susie48825,
It sounds like you are getting an error that mentions the sync services when you connect your phone to your computer and so you cannot sync your device. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article that mentions an error regardign the sync services named:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2690
Start with these steps:
1. Check that iTunes is up-to-date
Ensure that you have updated to the latest version of iTunes.
2. Reset Sync History
Resetting your Sync History is a simple step which may resolve some syncing issues. If this works, iTunes will prompt to Merge or Replace the information on your device when you next attempt to sync. To reset your Sync History:
Disconnect your device.
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button, and then reconnect your device.
If this resolves the issue, and you know all of your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
Click Apply.
There are additional steps to use in the article if needed, but these will get you started.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

When trying to connect to wifi,

when trying to connect to wifi , it is saying cna not scan for wireless connections

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

TS3297 My itunes constantly keeps spooling when trying to connect to the store. Obviously my internet is working fine, as I'm googling ways to fix?

Hi, I've purchased a new iPod Nano, and have downloaded the newest iTunes but when trying to connect to the store, it keeps spooling on "Accessing iTunes Store". In case this was an 'update' issue, I then downloaded and older version, but I have the same issue. My internet is working fine, firewall is set to allow itunes, I've changed the parental control, but nothing is letting me get to the store?

I got this error after upgrading to new version. After searching these pages for an answer and not finding a usable one, I simply quit and re-opened iTunes, and... voila! Problem solved!

Green Light When Join Wifi Network But...

my question is on my airport extreme model (MB053LL/A) I have asked it to join my 3g wifi router on setup, which it has done with a green light appearing, but now I can't see the base station in my wifi and it looks like my wifi is only connecting to the 3g router not the base station.
What is happening in this situation?
What is the base station connected to as it has a green light?

I think you answered my question with the green light and "no routing connection" when you said:
The setting is virtually useless on an AirPort Extreme, because the Extreme has no audio capability, and it performs no routing functions when it is configured to "join" a network.
Since I thought the base station had connected to my 3g router and I saw the green light I assumed the base station could be used as a wifi extender. I know I'm wrong now.
I have read others who also thought they could get a 3g router's wifi to be repeated without wires through the express and extreme base stations. It seems such a pity Apple hasn't an option to do that or to let a user have the ability to use a 3g dongle in the usb port yet. I hate wires and love wireless. I do have another 3g router from Tp-Link that has an ethernet cable which I can insert into the WAN port of the extreme.
So in essence you should have one extreme base station connected to the internet through a cable with an external appliance like a printer or external hard drive in the USB port if you wish and then one or more airport express's to repeat and extend the wifi signal if needed.
