Having Trouble With My Ipod HELP ME OUT!!!!!

There's a problem with my ipod every time i plug it into my mac it connects then disconnects right away not letting do anything. Then it says its syncing with my mac before it disconnects and then there's nothing on it, and when i try it on windows it just say it need to be formatted and i did it once but nothing happened. I restored it and still the same problem happened i need help any advice would be useful or should i just take it to the genius bar.

Was the restore successful? That is the iPod successfuly went through all the steps without error? If so then
that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

  • Hello, I'm having trouble with my ipod

    hello, I'm having trouble with my ipod

    Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
    Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
    Good luck!

  • Where can I find the SSL function on the iPad mail - having trouble with AOL sending e-mail out

    Where can I find the SSl function on the iPad mail - I am having trouble sending out e-mails on my AOL account on the iPad - no trouble with the MacBook Pro?

    Under the line where it has the SSL button, is Authintication set to password?  and the line below that, is there a server port number?  A typical outgoing server port number is 25.

  • Having trouble with quicktime. Help please.

    A while ago, maybe a few months actually. My quicktime stopped working so i uninstalled it and installed it again. Now whenever I go to a website where I need quicktime to see videos, I only hear the audio (e.g Apple websites, guided tour videos, audio only). What can I do to fix this problem.

    These forums can somtimes be helpful, but after a lot of reading in this case, I'm stumped.
    No help starting, then quitting GarageBand, no help setting MIDI audio output to 44100 Hz (it was already there), no help reinstalling QT 7.0.4, no help rolling back to QT 7.0.1, no help shutting down all other applications when running QT. OS is current, with no more available updates. The video I edited on this same computer using Quicktime and posted on putfile plays fine on my (gasp) older PC running Windows QT 7.0.4.
    As a loyal Macintosh owner since 1984 (my family currently has 7 working Macs, 3 iPods and 1 PC), I have the sinking feeling Apple seems to be becoming less unique and more microsoft like over time. While MS isn't up to the level of Apple yet, the gap seems to be closing. I don't want to know how to change my audio settings, repair permissions or do anything not directly related to the task at hand. I'm getting tired of paying for "upgrades" that aren't, including the new iLife suite and the QT 7 pro key I recently bought.
    How do we report this issue? I encourage everyone who is having problems with Quicktime videos stuttering, dropping video or audio to report this so that Apple will be made aware and held responsible.

  • Im having trouble with my ipod and need help

    ok heres the deal, i have recently purchased a new computer and transferred my itunes to the new computer succesfuly. but when im updating my ipod it says that certain songs/videos are not authorized for your ipod exct....... and wont put those songs and videos on my ipod but theyve stayed in my itunes library. but the thing is the "unautherized songs/videos" are all of my purchased items that i bought at the music store on my old computer. so idk what to do because it just won put my music store purcashed items on my ipod. to all who read these i really neeed help so if you know what to do or have any sugestions just tell me.
    id really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    idk   Windows XP Pro  

    In short you have to authorize the purchased songs/video again for there on another PC. You authorized them on your old PC when you bought them, but now since they have need moved, there now on a PC that has not been authorized.
    Here is a link explaining what authorization is, how to do it, how to deauthorize your old PC and other things

  • Having Trouble With 5G iPod w/ Car Stereo

    I have my 5G iPod hooked up through a iPod adapter to my Panasonic CQ-C7403U, its a head unit that allows you to control and charge your iPod through the unit itself. Anyway, it worked fine for the past year or so then a couple of weeks ago, it would skip on some songs. Not always at the same section of the song but usually only certain albums. Also, sometimes, during playback, it will all the sudden stop playing and the head unit will read "No iPod" even though the connection is secure to the iPod.
    Using your best judgement, do you think this would be a problem with the songs, the iPod or the head unit? Sometimes, the songs will skip when just playing the iPod so that kind of rules out the head unit. It's not songs bought thru iTunes. Does it have to do with how the songs are encoded and what format they are in? Please help.
