Frozon "Do not Disconnect" image and cannot restore

My iPod is frozon on th "Do not Disconnet" image and mt ipod is corrupt so i need to restore it yet i can as it comes up with an error saying "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod "ipod". the requested resource was not found." any ideas i really need help cause i cant listen to any music on my ipod as it is frozon and cant restore
Geo

I held the "Menu" button along with the center button
for about 6 seconds (as they state you should) and
all of the sudden the screen finally broke from the
"Do not disconnect" screen and began charging, now
everything is working as it should.
Oh my gosh, thanks so much, that did it! I, too, did not know that the "Select" button is the middle. And in fact, in all my prior repeated attempts to re-set my iPod, I had made a point of trying NOT to press the middle, but just the Menu button and the bottom button at the same time (since I thought that the bottom/play button must also be the select button). (Why did I think that? Answer -- because the 5R's instructions seemed, I mistakenly thought, to be saying to be careful not to touch the middle. I guess not. If anybody at Apple is reading this, please note that people like me can easily confused by unexplained verbiage like "Select button," apparently. Please consider tweaking the 5R's instructions to explain this to others.)

  • HT1363 screen on my classic iPod does not show anything and cannot restore

    Brand new iPod Classic and the screen has gone blank...unable to restore, some error message pops up, not pleased with this product as this is the third one in a year! Any ideas how to rectify this problem?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes.
    If iTunes does not see the iPod, place th iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If that does not solve the problem you may have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is inorder.  I doo not like that the corner gets hot.

  • "Do not disconnect" image is frozen on screen

    My 30 GB video iPod has been working fine up until today, when it would not appear on my computer. Frustrated, I stupidly disconnected it, and since it has been frozen on the "Do not disconnect" image, and the time I plugged it into the computer. I have taken all the appropriate measures to fix it (i.e. the 5 R's, etc.) however, nothing has worked, I am currently charging it wiht a wall charger, hoping it will magically fix it!!!! Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You!
    Maren

    I have had that same problem since beginning.
    When it says Do Not Disconnect... DON't!
    To a restart.
    Lock on, of OK+Menu and hold it!
    You may need to try it again.

    Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

    Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

  • Jdeveloper visual editor do not show images and other component shapes

    I used jdeveloper(10.1.3.3.0) to create an ADF BC application, I create a jsf jsp file and drag and drop components from ADF Faces Core to this file visual editor, but jdeveloper visual editor do not show images and other component shapes.
    Could you tell me how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Actually, I need to make a dummy change to the jsp file and then it will display boxes representing the objects in the visual editor whereas I get an exception in the log:
    javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find FacesContext
    This does not talk much to me !
    Thanks

  • Do not disconnect image not going away

    I recently had my 160g ipod classic returned after having the play button fixed. Upon recieving it I encounted the problem that either we could only get the apple image screen or the do not disconnect (with the crossed circle) screen. When plugging it back into the computer the do not disconnect image would remain, yet the computer was trying to acknowledge it.
    How should I go about fixing this?

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • HT1212 forgot passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it

    I forgot my passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it. I tried the recommended methods listed on Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support but they did not worked. Every time I tried to restore it kept asking me to allow access on iphone which I forgot the passcode. I do not have find my iphone on this phone nor icloud. I am willing to lose all my datas just to get my phone back to working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Apparently you did not follow the instructions in that article that address your issue. If you forgot your passcode, then you cannot restore it. You have to erase it by selecting the appropriate link under Erase and Restore.
    Erase the device. Once it is erased, it will no longer need a passcode. If you are talking about an Activation Lock, that is a different matter. Is that what you are referring to?

    Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe. Horribly frustrating. This is my second computer for installing creative cloud. Does that make a difference?

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

  • The Do not Disconnect sign and the Disk Mode

    Hi. I fully understand the reason for the "Do not disconnect" sign and the disk mode, etc. However there are a couple of things that bug me. I prefer to keep my ipod permanently connected to a power source (USB port). Now, every time there's a USB event (connecting or disconnecting my mobile pone or USB memory) the "Do not disconnect" sign reappears and I have to go into iTunes again and eject the ipod to be able to use it. Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid it?

    If you sync your songs instead of doing it manaully the do not disconnect sign will say ok to disconnect when its done updating.
