Help - my iPod is dead!

I'm working on a iBook G4 and have a iPod 30gb Video, the original one not the 5.5 version. After installing iTunes 7, i found that i could not update my ipod and a message came up on the screen (when not connected to my computer) 'Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore.' After plugging into iTunes 7.02 the ipod goes into disk mode and when i try to restore, the barber shop bar comes up, followed by an error message quoting 'error 1418.' Please can someone help, i've tried eboncairn's method (suitablely adapted for the Mac) but have got nowhere.

First of all, have you tried resetting the iPod with it connected to power?
The other thing would be to try and restore it.

HELP! - iPod touch dead

Hello everyone,
The battery of my iPod touch went down and I plug it in with my PC as usual. But it got frozen. I pressed both buttons as instructed to reboot the device. However, it is completely dead. No matter how many seconds or minutes I pressed on... Does this mean that I have to get a new one? This touch was purchase in October 2010. Just over one year. If it is dead, how do I retrieve all the information (songs, contacts, etc.) in the device?
Thanks!

Hi! I´m really desperate!
I have the same dead Ipod touch since yesterday, too!
My Ipod is (or should I say, was???) one of the 2. G. I started to update its firmware with Itunes (newest edition). All went o.k. until Itunes started installing the new software. Then it stopped (failure 37) and after that my Ipod was totally dead. No resetting possible, no apple sign, none of my 3 PCs could find it!!! The battery was fully loaded.
Please help, it was a christmas gift of my daughter. She´s really dissapointed!
Thanks

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.

So, I have a IPod 5 and it is not that old, but it won't charge. I have been trying to plug it into the wall, the computer and nothing works. The thing is if my iPod is dead it will charge right up untill it turns on and then it stops charging. plz help

You need to continue with the Recovery...
Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Ipod plays dead

hello all, first of all my ipod is over one year old, i was recharging the battery and wanted to turn the ipod on. When i discharged it from its dock the ipod went dead.
i mean, the display isnt working and there is a humming noise coming out of it.
I tryed the 5R's, get an update but even my computer wont recognise the hardware (also I-tunes won't recongnise it)
I have no idea what to do about it and never heard about this before, so I hope someone can help me with it...

here is my answer to my own problem with the ipod:
leave the ipod humming in your livingroom overnight, in the morning there's no sound of humming. Then try to get into the ipod's menu, after that the screen says that the battery needs to be charged.
Connect it to the USB port of your PC, get an update from apple and disconnect it through "my computer",click on the sign IPOD, right mouse click and disconnect. Then conncet the ipod to the main charger and charge the battery...all music is still on the ipod!!
Hopefully it works for everyone here

How can my iPod be dead?

Hi!
I just bought a 60g Black iPod video, I took it out of the box, used it for about 3 hours then battery needed to be charged, so I plugged it up in my computer before going to sleep. Three hours after I plugged it, I checked on the screen and the battery was still charging (nothing abnormal at this point). I then decided to go to bed and leave the thing charging.
When I woke up, I checked my iPod and realised the screen was black. So I thought: Okay, it must be recharged.
I then wanted to load new songs in the computer and was surprised to see that the thing refused to turn on.
I check the "Hold" button, but everything was correct.
I read this site's FAQ, when it says that you must leave it layed down on a flat surface for about 24 hours. That' what I did, but nothing happened.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Could this be because I don't have a USB2 port?
I'm now thinking of buying a Power adapter, but I dont want to pay $35 without being sure that this could fix my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply,
But I already did read the whole thing before posting in here (didn't want to waste everyone's time with a question that could be answered by reading the FAQ)
My concern is, How can my iPod be dead after being charged for several hours? Nothing appears on the screen, that thing is totally dead. Oh, and did I mention that It is BRAND NEW??
This is the first time that I'm buying an Apple product and this may also be the last time.
Anyone experienced that problem before?
Thank you for your time,
Andre

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

2nd Generation iPod Nano Dead?

My 2nd generation iPod Nano was working fine this morning. Played music as it did for all these years. Later this afternoon I turned it on and the display would not light up. No music played. Seems like the battery is totally drained. Plugged into USB wall charger (from Apple) and get no indication whethr or not this thing is charging. Same when I plugged into my Mac. Does not show up in iTunes or on the desktop.
Is my iPod Nano Dead? Has the battery bitten the dust and cannot be recharged again? It's a shame that none of these iPods have user replaceable batteries... Other than being dead I am quite sure that if I could put in a new battery it would work again. I don't like spending a lot of money for something that does not last me at least 10 years.

If the iPod's battery has been fully drained it can at least 30 minutes or more of charging for the iPod to show any signs of life and even after that a hard reset might be required. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Select?Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
