Help!!  Restore message driving me crazy!@

I have a 4gb nano that shows the "use itunes to restore". (windowsXP) I have hooked it to my main computer with the latest version if Itunes and I get the message that the nano "needs to restore" loop. So I have reformatted, restored (from ITunes and also from the updater, changed drive letters (3 or 4 times), everything that the forums have suggested. Then I went to an older computer and installed itunes version 6plus. This version of itunes recognises my ipod! Will sync and play songs, delete songs. etc. Everything Honky dory until i disconnect the ipod from the computer and then I get the 3 language "use itunes to restore" message again and nothing else. So what else is there for me to do? tried different usb ports, different cables, different computers. I know this is a definite software problem. The harddrive works fine in windows and also in itunes version 6+, but not on its own or version 7. Battery has a great life.

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

    If no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    I cannot select an email to delete on my IPhone 5. When I hit edit then check the email i wish to delete it unchecked itself. Help it is driving me crazy. I tried deleting the email account and re-adding it but it didn't work.

    Sorry if I confused you. Let me try again:
    1) do a full backup your iPhone to a PC using iTunes
    2) go to: settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings.erase phone.
    3) when iPhone starts again choose set as new phone. Do not restore from icloud or iTunes.
    4) once done. Setup your email accounts. When done, verify checked emails do not uncheck themselves.
    That resolved, finish setting up:
    5) go to: settings, icloud, uncheck email, and set other icons as wished. Now setup icloud account.
    6)This step will make all contracts reside in icloud and be available always:  Once icloud account is setup, go back to settings, email contacts. Open each email account and uncheck contacts, but leave mail checked. Then go to the icloud email account and check contacts.

    Hi
    Samuel provided the best option , and since you've update to lollipop recently , a repair would be helpfull not only in removing these glitches, it would further enhance performance and experience.
    If you don't really want to repair, then you could just try 1-2 things and see if it helps a little bit.
    Go to settings > apps > all > smart connect > clear data .
    Then uninstall updates, and update the app through Play store again. Or simply disable it if you don't use it.

  • HT3951 I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my ipod and it will not sync manually. It showes upin my purchased list on ipod but not in my videos. HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

    I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my Ipod touch. It will not sync manually, I've tried. It shows up on my ipod as purchased but it is not in my videos. When I go to the movie from purchases it says DOW in the corner.HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

    Hello,
    If you have an iPod Touch you can watch movies on it.
    Did you sync the movie with iTunes between your computer and your iPod ?
    Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable.
    Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content.
    Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.

  • Please help  Applescript is driving me crazy - wants to send message.

    Hi,
    How do I get rid of this?
    I have never used applescript to my knowledge. Since yesterday afternoon every few minutes I get message that applescript is attempting to send a message then it goes one about how you need to be careful and trust the source because it it may contain a harmful virus etc. Do you want to send message? i have hit cancel and send a number of times but it keeps coming back. I use entourage for mail. I looked at the error and says it can't send from my email.
    My email seems fine though. I am getting and receiving messages.
    Thank you for your help.

    pls consider stating the actual specific issue in the Title of your post - people tend NOT to take the time to read a post that says 'Has this happened to you?' or the like - so your more likely to be viewed if you be more specific. Generic 'help, how do you fix this?' type titles are getting old for the rest of us as well. Thanks.

  • Help--printing issue driving me crazy

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help me.  I have images that I created in Photoshop at 300dpi, that seem to "all of a sudden" be printing on my HP laser priner in "dots", almost looks like what a dot matrix printer used to print.  Yet when I print something from the internet it comes out fine.   Why would something from Photoshop print this bad and from the web it prints ok?     Thanks much for your help!

    Try re booting the handset by removing the battery.
    Also look in the menu to see if he has changed the settings.
    If all else fails action a factory reset backing up naything you want to keep.

  • Sofware installation message driving me crazy

    Hello
    my mac keeps asking if I wish to download printer software and I want to stop this request as it keeps asking if I want to install. I attempted to install it and it responded by giving me a message saying it was a third party application even though it searched for it in the apple store. I deleted the software and reinstalled and got the same message my mac then tells me to go to hp website and the software does not exist or refers me to app store where it does not exist. I want to get the little grey box of my screen for good.  My printer works it is a HP laserjet P2500 dn.
    Regards
    Andrew Graham

    Hello
    Thanks for responding.  The grey box comes up giving me the option of whether I want to install later or now. If I say not now it goes away only to come back ten minutes or so later. If I press install it says that the software does not exist yet on the app store.  I cannot not unclick with right button as there is nothing on the appstore to unclick (even though  Applee keeps asking whether or not  want to download something that keeps telling me it is not available in the App store.

  • My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

    help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

    If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

    Hello joelfromn. charleston,
    It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

    I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
