Help! My computer froze and now my iPod won't turn on or be recognised/work
My computer froze while my iPod was plugged in. I had to shut down the computer by holding the shut down button and my iPod said 'OK to disconnect' and I then disconnected and it looked normal (on menu), then I turned it off, connected it to the computer (after restarting) and it didn't come up/work/be recognised in iTunes and after I did 'safely remove hardware' (which took ages) on the computer I tried to turn on my iPod and it's not working. It's not on lock and I've pressed all buttons, it's not working. Please help. This won't have deleted all my music, play counts and everything will it? Thankyou so much
Good news! I was so bored that my iPod wasn't working, I was going to read the Warranty booklet but instead pulled out the 'quick start' book and it said to hold the select and menu button until the apple logo comes on and it worked. My iPod's back alive and it seems to have all the music I put on there before the computer froze! Will it have lost play counts before that or not? It's not big cause I pay little attention anyway but it's still annoying

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I deleted my "iPod Slection" playlist and now my iPod won't update.
I don't know exactly how it happened but the songs on my original "iPod Selection" playlist got messed up and so iTunes automatically created another "iPod Selection Playlist" and I didn't want the songs it put in that playlist on my iPod so I deleted it. But now my iPod won't update because it says "your iPod cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Seems like you've got auto sync with your iPod and it is looking for a specifically named playlist.
Check your preferences.
Create a new playlist and sync that.

My computer froze and now no longer recognizes my ipod.
My computer froze when my ipod was plugged in. I disconnected it after it was frozen for 15 minutes (even though the ipod said do not disconnect). Now when I plug in my ipod, the screen still reads do not disconnect & itunes is recognizing "IPOD" instead of the name i gave my ipod & the one I've used for over a year. I cannot restore it because it cannot download the software for "IPOD" because I do not have an ipod named "IPOD".
Any suggestions? I'm leaving on a trip is 5 days and was only adding 2 cds when all of this happened!fixed

I updated my phone with the new iOS 7.0.2 and now it won't turn on. The screen says to connect to itunes and so I have. I have gone through the recovery mode and everything but a message saying the recovery was corrupted keeps popping up. I am scared this new update crashed my phone. Please Help!

I did a software update and cannot get my phone to turn off, on, or anything. It shows a gray apple and then an iTunes icon with a USB cable picture. I am not able to connect to my iTunes account because it's on my home computer (I'm traveling). It won't let me add my laptop because it says I have it tied to too many computers already and I can't deauthorize any of those computers because I don't know what they are, and I'm traveling. Can anyone help make my phone usable again? Preferably with contacts in tact.
Pleeeeease!A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.
