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.

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.

I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

Do you have alot of apps running in background? Tap home key 2 times and there's a list across screen with icons you can deselect them by hold on one and they wiggle touch the minus button and it will deactivate them untill you use them again. Do you have the phone dim after so many seconds or minutes? Is the screen bright all time? Do you go on the Internet or watch video on phone?
These things can affect the hrs of use.

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!

Serious trouble with new iPod - maybe you can help?

Please help if you can. 15 hours into troubleshooting this and I am desperate!!!
I just purchased a new 5th-gen, 60GB ipod. I already have a 1st gen, 10GB iPod. My old iPod is presently working great with no problems.
The new iPod, however, is not being recognized by my computer or by iTunes. And when I try to plug it in, iTunes freaks. It will stop playing music and freeze on me.
Here is what happened:
1. I knew I had the latest iTunes & iPod software on my computer, so rather than running the CD that came with the iPod, I just plugged in the iPod.
2. When I did so, the computer recognized it as a new device and attempted to (I assume - not sure) install a driver for a while. This went on for about an hour, something seemed wrong, so I disconnected the iPod.
3. At this point, connecting it always has the same behavior. It flashes "don't disconnect". ITunes freezes. Windows Explorer does not recognize or acknowledge its existence.
Here is what I have tried to do:
1. I first tried installing from the CD. This installed an older version of iTunes on my computer. This did not help matters and stopped my current iPod from working.
2. I troubleshooted this and managed to fix my old iPod by uninstalled all iTunes and iPod versions from my computer and reinstalling all of the latest bits.
3. I have doublechecked my USB ports to ensure they are USB 2.0.
4. I have tried restarting my iPod in file mode to see if the computer will recognize it then. No dice.
5. I have tried an iPod reboot, obviously.
6. I have restarted my computer innumerable times.
My gut says this is a driver issue, but I'm not remotely qualified to troubleshoot that. Can anyone help?

Hey, I've got a few questions for you. 1. What kind of computer are you using? (ie: laptop, desktop, whatever else there is..) 2. Have you ever had the 5th Gen. working on you're computer? 3. Have you tried you're 5th Gen. on another computer which, in the past, has detected an iPod?
Done with questions for now I believe. Here's my story. My girlfriend got her iPod (5th Gen.) in April and right when she got it, she hurried over to my house because she's "technologically incompetant". Booted up my Alienware (now an artifact after being purchased new around 1998-2000) and installed all the gadgets just like the instructions said. After finishing all that, I slapped the iPod into a USB2.0 port and WindowsXP detected, found, and installed the driver for the iPod. I used iTunes to put about 500MB's of songs on there then sent her off with her new WORKING (at the moment) iPod. A few weeks later, I guess when she killed the battery, she tells me that her iPod isnt working.
Long story short...
She's using a brand new Dell Inspiron [some number and letters here] laptop computer with WindowsXP.
I did everything exactly as you had described in your first post. Few things are different, her computer has never detected the iPod, WindowsXP never found or installed a driver. When her iPod is plugged into her computer, the iPod either brings up a little battry with a lightening bolt (like it's charging) or brings up the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. After a few hours of leaving it like that and I unplug the iPod, it hastn't gained any charge. I checked to make sure everything, ie: plug and play, were all working correctly and all that good stuff; however, one thing phases me. I took her iPod back to my house and tried it on the computer that had the player working before. After a minute of plugging it in, it was detected and I could add or remove songs using iTunes, in other words: IT WAS WORKING.
I would like to see some kind of solution to our problem (which I believe to be the same) so that I don't have to drive an hour away to the only iPod (Mac) store around to replace it (luckily it is still on the warranty).
If you make any progress, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Gordon,

Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
I would suggest following the instructions on page 56 & 57 of the iPod nano user Guide.

Trouble with new iPod Shuffle

I just replaced my old iPod shuffle with a brand new iPod Shuffle. When I try to sync with iTunes it says I need to upgrade to iTunes 10.0 or later but when I try to upgrade iTunes it tells me I need Mac OS X 10.5 or later. I just want my iPod to work... Any ideas?

What OS X is your mac running? whether this has an affect.. Mac OS X version 10.5.8 is the operating system needed to run iTunes 10.6.

Trouble with new ipod 30GB w/video. also trouble w/ itunes

here's the story: i just got a new ipod (the 30 GB with video). i got tired of my little shuffle with no screen.
so, i put my whole itunes library onto the ipod and everything was working fine. i loved it. then, i deleted some items from my itunes library on my laptop because it was taking up needed space on my hard drive, i figured this was fine, since i still have it on my ipod, and i can watch/listen to them anytime i want. But, when i went back later to put some new stuff on my ipod, 2 shows and 2 of my favorite podcast episodes were deleted from the ipod that i had put on before!
-i checked the manual, it said that i need to be in the manual mode instead of itunes/ipod automatically updating the ipod's library. i was transferring stuff manually, but it still got rid of some stuff on it's own.
the music was all still there, but a tv show episode, and 2 of my favorite video podcast episodes were deleted.
-Will this always be a problem everytime I hook it up to my laptop and want to add new stuff to my ipod? I don't even have half of the ipod filled. it says that I have 20Gb of free space.
i want to be able to keep stuff on my ipod that i will delete from my itunes library/hard drive. such as movies, tv shows, my favorite video podcast episodes. But at the same time, I want to be able to add new stuff. Is this Possible?? please help! is the ipod/itunes programmed to delete everything from the ipod that is not in the itunes library????

i chose the option manage music and video manually.

Trouble with new IPOD

we just got a new ipod and cant get it to do anything. in fact, all we have ever seen on the screen is "do not disconnect". the only message we can get thru Itunes is "ipod cannot be updated. the disk could not be read from or written to." can anyone help?

Are you sure that you're iPod is windows formatted. It may be mac formatted from the time you bought it. Usually when you first plug it in it's supposed to format the drive accordingly to what OS you use.

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.
