Help....My Ipod is messed up

I downloaded the newest Itunes from apple. When I downloaded the Ipod updater at 10 PM, i left it to update my ipod overnight. My roomates was done in 15 Minutes. Then next morning, the "Do not diconnect" Cross thing wasnt flashing but just sitting there (were it usually flashes.) So i restarted my Ipod. Now it has been do not disconnect for 2 days now. It also said to go to apple.com/suppot/ipod. What do i do? Do I rest my Ipod again or completely wipe it out and start over?
Thanks for any replies...

Work through this. Near the end, when you get to the part about restoring your iPod, ignore that and use the section below. If you follow the restore section in this document you will put back the bad updater that broke your iPod, so make sure you follow the instructions below when you get to that part.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
Restore your iPod (will erase all data and return you iPod to factory condition)
1) Uninstall the 1.1 updater from your computer.
2) Install 1.0 from the CD that came with your iPod.
3) Plug in your iPod.
4) Run the 1.0 updater.
5) Select 'restore'.
6) Follow instructions.
7) Resync with iTunes.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • HT201304 oh, my God. Was anything ever so poorly explained as the use of one id for multiple devices? who, where can anyone help sort out the mess that has developed?

    I have used my iphone 4s for over a year. Recently, I bought two ipod touch devices, one for each of my children. While attempting to set up their ipods, even with email advice from apple, we have become utterly confused as to whose apple id is on whose phone/ipod, why some apps automatically appear on two devices but not on the third (it varies). Most worryingly, in app purchases is DISABLED on my iphone but my children can still purchase in-app purchases without my knowledge and have run up bills (fortunately not huge bills). Why would anyone want to allow this???? If I have consciously disabled in app purchases under my apple id on my iphone, why would the default on another device be to allow in app purchases, when using my apple id?
    When setting up my children's apple ids, I wanted them to have their own apple id to avoid this kind of confusion but we got warnings that they were not allowed to have an apple id (presumably too young?) . But they have got their own ipods and should be able to purchase items using itunes cards so why cant they have an independent apple id? And what's the difference between the apple id and the itunes id?
    Is there anyone who can help clear up this mess?

    You have to diasable in app purchases on the device itself, NOT the id.
    If you want in app purchases disabled on the ipods, then you will have to do this on the ipods themselves.

  • IPod really messed up

    Just skip this first paragraph if you don't need to know how the problems started
    My 30G video iPod's messed up and I can't seem to fix it - it started when my computer froze about 4 hours ago. I reset the ipod and disconnected it while the PC (I'm on XP) was still running but when I turned on again everything was gone from the machine, music, videos and everything. So I plugged it back in after resetting the PC and reloading iTunes, and iTunes seemed to add all its files to the ipod which took quite a while, but when I disconnected it still didn't work. I plugged it back in and rebooted it with the updater that came with the CD, then when I conneceted it to iTunes again the program registered it as the same iPod, with all the old files and everything even though I couldn't see it on the actual machine. So I disabled disk use and took it out - this time, the songs and videos appeared in their lists so I thought it was OK until I tried testing one of the songs.
    The songs now do not play, instead rushing through the albums in seconds. All the songs have the little abr at the bottom going from 0.00 to 4.19 seconds (for example) but it just stays on 0 seconds and runs on to the next song on the list without making a sound. So yeah, that's my problem, and could anyone help? Sorry it's so long, I thought you might need to hear the whole story!
    I've had the 30 gigabyte iPod video since christmas, and have been using it on a regular basis so I know all the functions and stuff pretty well.
    Thanks,

    Hmm, that's pretty nasty. I'm guessing it's all Windows. Windows freezing = total domination over iPod. Get the new software updater, and restore your iPod again, and see if that doesn't work. If it doesn't you might have to talk to someone from Apple (unless someone else here has any other suggestions).

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.

    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.

  • Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

    Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!

    I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
    You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

  • Help with Ipod mini

    I'm having a problem with my mini. It turns it self on, and then right back off constantly, until the batteries run out. when i hook it up to the computer, it recharges, and then goes back to the on/off cycle. the computer won't recognize it. All i see is the apple logo clicking on then off then on etc...
    I've tried resetting it, but it just goes back to the on/off cycle.
    Please help!

    iPod Doesn’t Appear on OS X Desktop or in iTunes
    I hope this helps!
    The other option is to just kinda let it run itself out of battery, then see how it's doing.
