Ipod keeps resetting at language selection HELP!

My ipod keeps resetting at the language selection and i can't do anythink except recharge it. How can i get it to work again.

Welcome to the discussions Patrick,
It may or may not have said it on there but there is one number for apple support. It is 1-800-APL-CARE. You dial this number during buisness hours and follow the steps given. Since you just bought this (a video ipod right?) you have one year or 90 days of phone and tech support. As for turning the ipod on and off it is the play/pause button and the center button. Center to turn it on and play/pause to turn it off. It is confusing at first yes, but you should get the hang of it. The applecare representatives will/should take care of you.

IPod keeps reseting itself while updating

I've had previous trouble with my 60GB iPod Video, but I think this is the last problem... I am trying to update my iPod but while its updating the iPod keeps reseting itself over and over again... please help!!!

There's nothing you can do but bring it back to the store. Mine does the same thing, it just goes to show that Apple is so busy pushing these new iPods on us and releasing them too soon that the customers end up having to deal with their hardware failures---all because they didn't take the time to test these!!!

My iPod keeps reseting!

OK, real problem. My iPod keeps reseting when I connect it to a computer! All my files stored on it (I used it as a flash drive) are still there, but inaccesable, my computer says the disk doesn't exist. What is going on? And might this fix my video problem, too? (after the 15 minute mark, my movies always extend their time up to the 900s and skip frames at the speed of light. Entertaining for the Nostalgia Critic.)

Your problem is too complicated for me to understand, so try the basic 5Rs.

Or bring it in to Apple Genius store.
If you are using it as a "flash drive" which is another way of saying, you put it in DiskMode. You can't see the files in standalone mode, or if coonected to iTunes, it wont list your files. Only Window explorer can list your files.
Have a nice day!

Ipod keeps reseting itself

so after i had the trouble with my ipod last week and ended up replacing it at the apple store for a small fee of $32.05, this new ipod is giving me more problems.
so this new ipod keeps reseting itself. for example, i connected it to my computer and the "do not disconnect" sign won't come off and it's not connecting to itunes. so i reset the ipod. it finally connected and then i ejected the ipod no problem. so then from now on, it resets itself, leading me to restore the ipod. so i restored it, and the problem still occured. and then i reset it again and now it's working fine.
in conclusion, does anyone have some suggestions/comments/idea for this situation?

that's EXACTLY what is happening to me. i plan to go back to the apple store very soon because i've run out of ideas as to what to do to solve this dilemma. i'm glad though i'm not the only one with this problem although i am sorry you have the problem too lol.

Serious iPod problem (iPod keeps resetting)

I've had my iPod for almost 2 years and until now everything worked fine. i listen to it on average 1 hr each day, and until 2 days ago battery seemed fine (I would recharge it each week, though it would be only half empty).
So 2 days ago I was listening to music, tried to go forward and all of a sudden it stopped playing music, it was just frozen. I reset it and it came back with a "sad" iPod icon. Ocassionaly it would end up with the icon as if the battery is dead. I reset it a few more times and mostlt I got the same "sad" icon and only a few times the battery icon.
I than tried to hook it up to my computer via USB and it would just reset and PC/iTunes would not see it.
Since I've had it for 2 years I thought maybe the battery has gone bad (but does it happen just like that without any signs?) so I tried to charge itbut when I connect it to charger it keeps resetting.
I than tried to force it into disc mode and that worked but as soon as I connected it to my computer it would reset. Even when I tried to charge it in disc mode it would reset after a few secunds.
So, if left alone it is in off mode, but if I push any button it starts up, and eventually shows the sad iPod icon. If plugged into the charger or PC it keeps resetting.
I have no way to get into it and update the iTunes, or access iPod. Has anyone seen this? Does is sound like a battery or is it something worse? I am out of warranty and would not want to spend too much money fixing it since it probably does not worth much, though i wish I could save my iTunes collection...

Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem though a slight variation on a theme. maybe you can help me out.
I have a 4th generation iPod (20 Gig) and it told me my ipod battery had died, so i plugged it into my computer to charge. It started out showing me the large symbol of the battery with the lightening bolt until there was enough to power the iPod so that it could run with iTunes. Except once it finally had enough power and interacted with iTunes it went into a black and white mode instead of the normal color mode and the the battery icon up in the top right corner was black with the lightening bolt. I got the normal "do not disconnect" message except that was black and grey as well.
I figured i'd update my ipod as it was still charging and added a new playlist and it appeared to take the music, but when I unplugged the ipod it showed me the icon of the folder with the exclamation point and gave me the address http://www.apple.com/support/ipod. Since i didn't have time then i reset it and then plugged it in via a car charger to see if charging it would fix the problem. Unfortunately, when I unplugged it from the computer to take to the car and reset it, it started rebooting over and over. I was able to force it into disc mode so that it would continue to charge without wasting so much battery rebooting (it didn't reboot in disc mode) and continued to work on it when i got home.
At home i tried every fix they have listed on the site and in my ipod handbook and nothing has worked. I have reset, restored twice, and charged the battery. The weird thing is that it
1) is recognized by itunes
2) just turns off if i try to use the charger
3) appears to be able to download music to it but makes a clicking noise
4) since it doesn't recognize the charger I can't finish the restore process
5) still gives me the folder icon when it tries to turn on
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!
If you can think of anything i can do to fix this I will be so appreciative.
Thanks guys!

My IPOD keeps resetting itself

When I connect my IPOD to the computer with the updater program running, the unit just keeps resetting itself on its own. The dpdating tool give the error message "can't mount IPOD" and shuts down. As long as I have the IPOD connected to the computer it continues to reset itself. Does any one have any ideas how to fix this problem?

hi tricky D!
hmmmm. let's try giving the technique outlined in this document a try:

IPod keeps resetting while playing an album

I recently purchased the new Kings of Leon album, Only by the Night, on iTunes. However, when I try to listen to it on my iPod, after certain songs the iPod will reset itself and show the black screen with the white apple. This is the only album that this has ever happened with. I tried deleting the album and reloading it, but it keeps happening.

Hey, just had this problem but its been fixed.
This was my question.

My ipod keeps resetting itself when i plug it in to the computer, now what?

Basically, I plugged my ipod into my laptop as usual and itunes sprang up with an error message that i can't quite remember. I just remember that it mentioned a file corruption and that i should either restore the ipod settings or i should disconnect and reconnect it. I reconnected it and got the same result, then tried again. This time iTunes didn't recognise it all and within a minute of being connected my ipod reset itself. The laptop registers it, but my ipod just keeps resetting itself and i don't know what to do. I've tried resetting it and restoring default settings, so what more can i do or is a repair the only option?

Follow the steps mentioned in this article to disable the camera notification: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501 , then try again to connect to iTunes.

My IPOD keeps reseting every 4 or 5 minutes

i don't know what has happened with my IPOD but when I play music or video, it keeps reseting avery 4 or 5 minutes. I just restored the IPOD to its original settings and didn't get any better.

I would take it in somewhere, as suggested. Did you notice this happening after putting songs etc on it? Perhaps there is corrupt file that is causing problems.

Ipod keeps reseting

Hello,
I just purchased a new 80GB ipod and it was working fine for the most part. The only issue I have noticed is that as I skip through my music the ipod mysteriously resets itself. This is happening more frequently now and I have not seen any patterns.
Please help
Thanks

The only issue I have noticed is that as I skip through my music the ipod mysteriously resets itself.
does it seem to be resetting on mono mp3s? if so, perhaps see if the workaround from the following document is of any help with that:

Ipod keeps reseting when transfering media

If anybody having problems when trying to transfering music from itunes into the ipod, the ipod will reset and it will not allow to the transfer to occur. Try everything , took it for service at a apple store , got it replace already, it came back the same.
If anybody having this problem , please give me some advice. I have not been able to enjoy my ipod for half a year since i purchase it.

OK...yeah, resetting is all you can do for this one...you did properly, right? 1. toggle hold button and 2. press center button and menu button simultaneously for 6 to 10 seconds
if that doesn't work, you gotta go to the genius bar...

Help! Charge Keeps Resetting to Home Screen every minute or so.

Hi. My Samsung Charge Keeps Resetting every minute or so to the Home Screen. It shuts off anything I'm doing and goes black. It then starts up at the home screen and says "media scanner running" at the top of screen. What I was doing before problem occurred...I was listening to music player yesterday for several hours until battery went dead. I plugged the phone into my laptop to charge the battery and the problem started.

I don't really know what to do but your battery probably is not charged very well yet. The USB port on a PC is NOT a very powerful charger.
Try this. Plug your phone into the 1 AMP charger that came with it. After the battery is charged past the 60% mark leave the charger plugged into your phone and then hold the on/off button (top right outside edge of the phone) until you see Power Off. Touch power off. After a minute restart the phone.
If that does not fix your phone do the same thing at one more or maybe two more times.
I hope someone else may have a better idea.

Help!! My iPod keeps resetting itself.

Hey guys,
So when I leave my ipod in my deak for a day and take it out the next day to listen to it. It doesn't turn on conventionally...I get the apple logo on a black backdrop. Then it gets me to the menu.
And also, when it was plugged into my Kensington FM Transmitter and I tried to switch songs. Again it shut off, and went straight to the screen with the apple logo with the black backdrop.
Should I be worried???
Windows XP

Hi Pagal4321,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
That could be a problem with your FM Transmitter. Have you noticed this problem before with a charger? When your iPod wakes up with the Apple Logo, that means it was in a "deep sleep" over 36 hours or so. You can find more information on the different "sleeps" in Knowledge Base Document #60945.

120gb ipod keeps resetting and skipping tracks

I just recently bought a brand new 120gb ipod adn all of the sudden it is skipping down tracks in the middle of a song and it also resets on its own...i will be searching through my artist list and it will all the sudden reset and go back to the apple logo then it is fine for a while until it does ti again...i have tried the five r's and am feeling angry that this keeps happening...if anyone has any suggestions or an answer for that matter it would be gratly appreciated..

I just bought a new macbook pro and got the 120gb ipod with it for $20 after the rebate. i downloaded all my songs onto the new computer and then synced them with the new ipod. the songs would play all the way through but the ipod started skipping in the middle of the song to go to the next song. so it would play though a whole bunch of songs, then halfway through one, it would skip to the next. at first i thought it was a corrupt song so i pressed the previous button to see if the song would play all the way though and the song wound up playing completely and then move onto the next song. it began to do it more frequently so i brought it to the apple store and they swapped it for a new one. i just synced the ipod again and its skipping again. I took my old 30gb ipod and synced it to the same exact itunes library so both ipods mirrored each other and the 120gb still skips but the 30gb doesnt. so i have no idea what is going on with the 120gb ipod but i want to find a solution to this problem before my warranty runs out. can anyone please help?
