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.

Help with ipod classic 80gb 2nd new ipod not working

I need some help with my ipod, this is the second ipod I have had in the same number of weeks the first one worked fine for about 8 days and then when syncing one night it froze and then would not disconnect, I searched the support section and worked how to reset the ipod which | did many times, in the end I restored the ipod to the factory settings and synced again the end result of this was that the ipod would not turn on despite everything that I tried. The apple log would appear and the ipod would then try desperatley to switch itself on with the apple logo appearing and disappering all the time. Apple have replaced the ipod and I have fully charged the new ipod synced it this evening all was ok, the ipod synced and then told me to disconnect and the same thing is happening again I have tried to reset multiple times and all that happens now is the apple logo appears and disappers it will not switch on or off, itunes keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the ipod at this time and the safely remove section on my task bar on my computer is telling me that the ipod has malfunctioned. can anyone help? am I doing something wrong someone suggested that I should have downloaded itunes once I had my ipod and not before, I have about 20GB of music in itunes and I was not aware that you needed to use or own an ipod to use this music storage system
HELP
Thanks in anticipation

well it looks like you might have a tech issue here; try to return the ipod and choose a different store and buy one ... also try to uninstall itunes totally, back up your songs on a CD or DVD, and then re-install a fresh new copy of itunes ... this might work ... good luck!

Help with ipod video, screen doesn't work

My ipod started acting weird when I updated the ipod software. My screen will freeze, but it's not black or white, it shows the "Do not disconect" sign but with a bunch of little color squares all over the screen. I've tried everything, restore it, reset it, everything and as soon as it turns on, the screen goes like this.
can anyone help me?
thanks!

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Help with iPod Touch in recovery mode

I am trying to help my sister with her daughter's iPod touch. The end goal is to update to iOS6. It is a fourth gen iPod Touch. I plugged it into iTunes (iPod was still iOS V4.something or other) and it said there was an update availalbe. I clicked Download and Update. Got a message about the update deleting all the apps since this iPod had been synced with another computer (my sister has a new computer since she last synced the iPod -- the old computer is no longer available). I cancelled out of the update and did a transfer purchases and then backed up the iPod. I then started the iOS 6 update again. It downloaded the update and then it said "backup up iPod." At that point I left so I don't know what happened after that but it is now saying that iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. My question is this: if we let it do the restore (which is the only option), will I be able to go back into iTunes and restore from the backup that I took MANUALLY (not the backup that it did as part of the iOS 6 update)?
Thanks.
Lisa

Yes, you will be able to restore from the backup you previously made. See:
iOS: How to back up

Help with ipod and computer shut downs...please.

I've posted this in two other forums to no avail -- lots of views, but no help.
My family now has 3 ipods (we only had 1 before) and yesterday I was trying to get them all set up - updates on the actual ipod, and I've updated itunes to 7.5. There are two issues here:
1) I am not able to register ANY of the ipods. I get all the way through the process to the very end and then it gives me an error message (after clicking the "No thanks" at the bottom of the page that asks if you want to download the videos) saying that the service couldn't be found? Or something like that. Ok, fine...I can handle not being able to register them for the time being.
2) I could keep itunes on all day long, as long as the Ipod is NOT CONNECTED. As soon as I connect the ipod (any of the 3 new ones - they all do the same thing) - ok, maybe not as soon as, but shortly thereafter - my entire computer shuts down. No error message, no blue screen of death, no warning - it just shuts down. It might be after I move a song from the "purchased" folder to the actual ipod. Or, as happened yesterday, it's right smack in the middle of a download (happened with both videos AND songs) and then of course, I have to try and purchase it again. I'm not even sure if it took my money already, but if it did, I'm SOL because I paid, but don't have the video/song since it never finished downloading.
I've done everything that's been recommended to me - I disabled all my start up programs (except the windows ones) and that didn't resolve anything.
My system is as follows:
Windows XP Home Edition (all updated except for microsoft office 2003)
Service Pack 2
AMD Athalon 64 3000+
1.81 GHz
2GB RAM
Not sure what else you need to know, to try and help me resolve this. Thanks for your time.

Help with iPod service error

Greetings,
I had an issue where my Nano's battery got very low to the point that it was not recognized by my computer. I borrowed an AC charger and got it to charge and work fine but still not be recognized by my computer. I followed the instructions for downloading the HP USB formatter and when I tried to restore using updater 6/28 I get a service error and cannot restore. I tried turning off the fast switch option (which waas on in the past when the computer used to see the ipod in itunes) and then I tried removing itunes and reinstalling it and I get the same error message. It seems to me that the helper files that look for the ipod are missing. The iPod will respond to being reset and the computer recognizes it, but I cannot restore it. Is there a way to restore it without using the latest updater? Any help greatly appreciated.

the ipod-service/software-required error messages are typically caused by snarlups on the PC side of things.
the theory behind the registry entries version of this is a little sketchy. i've only encountered about ... ten at the outside? ... confirmed cases of this since Christmas. possibly it's associated with not running installations as an administrator, possibly with running the installs inside a different user account than itunes has already been installed in, possibly with security software interfering with registry changes during the install process.
if you do run into troubles with key editing, ProgMan and hutch's threads might be of some help:

Help with ipod formating, error 1429 please help!!!!

30g movie
not sure which gen but it was one of the first movie ipods
hello, my ipod had died. all i get is a screen telling me to contect to itunes to restore, which i have done but the restore freezes and i get a message "unable to restore ipod error 1429" i have updated to the latest version of itunes, and i have tried formatting through windows, but even windows can't format the drive. i have pressed every button, search this forum and i don't know what to do.
some people have hit the ipod with success, others just seem to press everything and got there in the end.
i have never liked the itunes software! but i find it simple madness that it can not format its own hardware.
please can anyone help!!

I am having the same issue with my Ipod Classic once again. So far I have tried restoring it as well as some of the other processes including to trying to erase the hard drive. At this point I cannot upgrade to Itunes 8.0 since I am only on OS 10.3. The last time this happened I smacked my Ipod again my desk and it worked for about a month. I hesitate to do this in an attempt to solve the issue.
I considered getting a new Ipod but I would have to by a new OS. This makes it a pricey solution. I am wondering if it is worth having Apple fix it.

Windows XP

So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att. So the phone being locked for att wouldn't be a bother for me. I've just heard of people getting sim card read errors after updating, so I was wondering if I should even bother.

Help with ipod touch and iphone receiving text messages

i just bought ipod touch for my daughter for christmas and me and my husband have the iphone 4 when my daughter texts me with imessage my husband gets them all and see our conversation and when me and my husband text back and forth through the iphones she get them too.Help I need to get this fix I don't want my daughter to keep getting my messages.

Each iDevice needs to have one unique messaging email address. One the iPod go to Settings>Messagers>Receive At and ann another, unique messaging email address and delete the other on. I am also assuming that on the iPhone you alos use one email messaging address. You need to also make thos unique.

Help with Ipod 80GB (detailed message as to what I have tried) error -50

Originally I had downoaded some music and put it into itunes and synced it with my brand new Ipod 80GB. Everything was fine. I deleted my songs from my hard drive and itunes. A few weeks later I had a new batch of songs that I wanted to put onto my ipod through itunes. There was a message saying there was a new version of software available and I downloaded it and everything haywire.
Now, here is what happens every time I hook my ipod up to my Dell using windows xp.
1. I plug it in and it tells me my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. I click that option.
2. I get back a message saying ipod cannot sync with an unknown error occuring -50
3. I tried apple.com's approach to fixing this error message on windows xp by copying these files into notebook and opening them:
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
4. after letting that window close it instructs that I now open itunes and hook up ipod and restore things.
5. After hooking things up i get the same message as before. my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. I click that option again.
6. I get the same error -50 message.
7. I repeat the same process of copying those files into notebook and starting all over.
8. I get the same message "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. This time I cancel the erase and sync and just try to restore. It tells me it has restored and will start again in 15 seconds.
9. I get the same message as before "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu."
10. This time I click cancel and try to update my software from 1.0.3 to the new version of 1.1.
It tells me it has been updated wait 15 seconds and it should be fine.
11. I then get the same message as before "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu."
I am clueless as to what to do now. I was detailed so I could hopefully get some specific advice as to what to do next.

Finally a solution!!!!!!!!!!!
While I tried every option that was passed along here and none of them worked I appreciate the help and suggestions. I took it to the apple store and they fixed it. They said it was messed up because I probably had plugged it into too many different computers but i only plugged it inti one other computer but who cares.
Here is what to do if you are desperate: Most owners know that if you push the menu and the center button at the same time the ipod will restart. WELL!!!! If you can't do anything with your ipod you need to press the center button and the play/pause button at the same time and this will restart the ipod and put it in disk mode. Connect it to your cpu and open itunes. It will erase eveyrhing and reset it from scratch. All the way back to having to name your ipod again. Just a thought for those who don't mind losing their info and if they already have it saved to put back on.

Help with iPod video

Hi, I have a problem with my iPod or iTunes ( don´t know which one is the problem ).
When I transfer a video from my computer to my iPod using iTunes it shows its a video ( the video is mpeg4 )all good till here then I disconnect my iPod and watch the video ( on my iPod ) and everything still good till here, here comes the problem I connect my iPod again to my computer, open iTunes but the video that I was watching before connect it now appears like a song and can´t watch it on my iPod I can only listen to it like a song.
Why happen this ?
Please Help >.<

Yes I am using the version of iTunes that u said and I use videora for enconde the videos.
I´ll be more specific, I transfer a video to my ipod using itunes then I disconnect the ipod and watch my video using my ipod, I connect again my ipod, open itunes but the video I had transfered disapeared from my ipod and I can only play it, the one in ipod, using itunes.
Now if I click on the "Get info"/Summary, it shows its a video file, but If I go the the "otpions tab" the video type ( music video, movie etc ) dosen´t exits.
I know that I can listen videos like songs but what I mean is that the video switched for some reason to audio type so I can only listen to it and its supposed to be a video file. ( on my ipod )

HELP WITH IPOD BEFORE I THROW IT UP THE WALL

HI I HAD A IPOD ON XMAS DAY ITS THE ONE THAT U CAN PLAY VIDEOS ON WELL ILL TELL U WHATS HAPPENING I READ THROUGH THE LEAFLET AND INSTALLED DISK ON MY COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING I HAD ON ITUNES WAS DOWNLOADED TO IPOD IN SECONDS THEN I UNPLUGGED IT HTEN I BROUGHT MORE MUSIC OF ITUNES BUT CANT DOWNLOAD TO IPOD THERE IS NO IPOD SIMBOL IN ITUNES IV FOLLOWED MANY STEPS BUT NOTHING ALSO IV UPDATED AND CLICKED IPOD UPDATER WHERE U CHOOSE UPDATE OR RESTORE BUT IM GETTING MESSAGE PLUG IN IPOD TO UPDATE BUT MY IPODS PLUGED IN WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON IM GETING DO NOT DISCONNECT SIGN ON IPOD

There are troubleshooting steps here.
PC does not recognize the iPod. Very often, just a simple reset cures the recognition problem. Try it several times, it doesn't always work straight away.
Then there's this.
iTunes doesn't recognize your ipod.
Now, could I ask you a favour please? Don't post in capital letters. Here on the forums it's considered shouting and rude. That, coupled with lack of punctuation in your post, makes it difficult to read. Also, it's best not to swear in your posts. That just attracts the attention of the Moderators who will remove your post, and that's not going to help you at all.
Many thanks.

Help with iPod Shuffle - 1st generation - After restoring

Okay, i needed to restore my iPod shuffle (1st gen), as it was n't letting me put songs on. So when it restored, it started to autofill from the music library randomly, so all my songs were jumbled up. I didn't want this, so I tried to autofill it myself without the 'choose items randomly' box ticked, but it wouldn't synch. So, I restored it again, and tried again. As it was restoring, I noticed in a box that came up, I think were you type in the name of your iPod, there was a box that said something along the lines of 'Autofill from music library automatically when restored', so i unticked it. When it was restored again, and now completely empty, it wouldn't let me autofill manually again. So, just to get songs on my iPod, i have to have them on random, which I do NOT want.
Does anybody know what to do? I've tried that reset utlity thing, but that just comes up with the same thing.
Any help will be welcome
Thankyou!!!
iPod Shuffle 1st Generation Windows XP

On the contents page at the bottom, there is a box that reads "Choose Items Randomly". Uncheck it. I just noticed it while trying to sync my own iPod.

Need help with iPod updater

I recently downloaded the iPod updater for my iPod Nano, but everytime i try to open it, it doesnt come up. I tried downloading the iPod updater a second time, but still the same results. I click on it, and the little hour glass shows up as if its about to open but then it just goes away and the app doesnt open. If someone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Just out of curiosity, did you download the correct version of the updater - i.e., the Windows version versus the Mac version? Just had to ask.
