Got a new replaced IPOD adn it doesnt work at all

Ok so yesterday I got a new replaced Ipod cause my last one got messed up. First off I had a great deal of trouble trying to get my PC, to read the Ipod, I looked at a couple of topics and found a solution. I put it in disk mode and the computer finally recognized it. So i added a couple of songs , and last night the Ipod worked. This morning I go to connect it to add more songs and it the software said it needed to be updateted well it updated it and then it just turned off, now i cant get the Ipod to work for my life, I tried charging it, that doesnt even work because when i try to reset it, no apple icon come up. Nothing appears its like completely dead. I keep pressing the menu and select button but nothing, I tried to connect it again to the computer nothing. What can i do now?

By default mass storage in all in ones , cameras , phones (yes PHONES) are diasbled and only activate and are given a drive letter when the device is in use. so the OS keeps all of those devices as DISABLED UNTIL actual DATA is in the bus and only then they appear on your list of drives.
Itunes just trashes that security (seomehow) and enables ALL USB removabale storage even when not in use ( just plain bad programming)
once you install Itunes , you must go and disable all USB removable media , when the removable media is indeed needed (for example you do connect a camera to your PC , the camera's software will
1) enable the device
2) assign a drive letter
This was a week worth of experimentaion to figure this out.
I woder why the Apple stores refer to their techs as GENIOUSES !
Another BLATANT bug in ITunes. It tries to associate itself to all multimedia extensions even if you tell it NOT TO and you will get an error message saying you do not have enough rights to change the association. These are so namby pamby bugs you wonder who in **** QC this software !
Another "HINT"
After updating yur IPOD through Itunes SOME USB devices will no longer be recognized automatically upon connection to the bus ( like my SonyEricsson phone) so a cold reboot is in order !
Warm reboot doesnt do it ! - yet another 2 hurs of experiment to fix this !
but hey my newest IPOD is giving me 20 hours of play time !
So I am assuming that EVENTUALLY the Apple programmers will be more in tune with the Wintel community and all of this will go away - I just wish there were not so secretive about their code. **** ive written about 30 utilities for my SonyEriccson p900 phone. One actually serves me as a thermometer! (I stick the sonyericsson in my freezer and through BlueTooth I can see the temeperature dropping ! , jut a silly thing but it is fun. That is because SonyEricsson made available ALL their hooks and function calls to the public. I am sure theres a TON of goodies in the IPOD that can turn into a nice cottage industry for developers.! Like a way to INCREASE the VOLUME on Music Videos !
Or making the MENY button on the remote that comes with the docking bay WORK!

  • Awww man got a new replacement ipod but not working!!

    So recently i got a replacement from a nice guy for free and it was new i believe. So i plug it into my computer today, and i noticed that the screen wasnt responding! Help me please! Im always stuck on slide to unlock no matter what i do doesnt work, i tried sliding, nope i tried restarting, nope nothing will work!

    Does it ask for a passcode? It does not sound like a new iPod since a new one would show the iTunes icon with a USB plug. You have to first connected a new iPod to your computer and activate it.

  • HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

    hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4.  Since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table.  How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening?  Some nights the usage is 150 meg!

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • HT1152 Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac with mountain lion. We had a G5 that was irreparable. Now we are looking to see where we can put in our cd's as we just popped them into the side on the G5 but no joy here !

    Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac mountain lion osx 10.8.2,  as the G5 was irrepairable. Now we can't find where to put our discs ?!? Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?

    Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?
    Yes. There is no Superdrive. You cannot play DVDs or CDs.
    You will need to buy an external DVD player/burner. Almost all will do the job, just make sure you can connect it, as your iMac does not have Firewire or USB2 (USB3 is backwards compatible).
    Or there is of course the expensive one from Apple.

    my ipod was working fine for a while and then now all of a sudden the touch screen doesnt work at all. Ive restored it twice now and i cant unlock my ipod because the screen doesnt work..anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem you very likely have a hardwre problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go

    I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go. This is my first I Phone and don't know if this is normal for this phone

    Hi Flex,
    Congrats on the first iPhone.  This is not normal.  First check if moving the volume up or down either way has any impact on the sound.  Then see what happens while on speakerphone.  If you can hear ok on speakerphone, and there's no change from the regular earpiece with the volume changing, check with the carrier you received it from or the Apple store you purchased from.  They will have other things to look at for you.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP, my ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP

    My iPod touch is not working at all,i did everything i could and still it doesnt work,i live in the philippines my idea of solving this problem is to send it back at Apple California we do have service centre here but i dont trust them,i dont know what to do,I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

    Quite possibly.  It wouldn't hurt to try another one if at all possible. If you have to, borrow one from a friend.  It could also be due to debris in the docking port of your iPod.  Take a look on the inside of the port and make sure there is no lint or anything like that.  Also look for broken pins as they would definitely cause connection issues as well.
