- If you can't fully turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. Then after charging for at least an hour try again.

Ipod does recognize restore...wont start up now!

i recently attempted to sync my ipod to update newly added songs from itunes today only to find that itunes "froze" and did not respond. I force quit itunes and waited for my ipod to disconnect....nothing happen and i disconnected after waiting for some time...my ipod appeared to be working normally but did not update the new songs....
so once again i attempted to sync my ipod as usual...this time itunes recognized my ipod only to say that it was "corrupt" and said to restore to factory settings. I did each step as needed and found that through the whole process the ipod failed to restore.
now each time i try to turn on my ipod i see the black apple screen for about 3 seconds, hear the hard drive click. I have tried to reset (menu and select) with the ipod disconnected, plugged into the usb with itunes open, and also to the power adapter. No success. I am guessing the firmware failed to restore correctly and the ipod has no firmware to boot up properly.
i am unsure of any solutions to this problem. if any one has had a similar experience or suggestions i would appreciate it greatly.
note: this ipod was purchased in the states, but at the moment i am study in new zealand. the only apple support is from authorized retailers so i hav eno attempted to send my ipod into apple for repair.
this ipod was also purchased last xmas (2005) so is almost a year old. is this still under warranty???
thank you,
curtis

Have you removed the RAM and reseated it? Here is the link to the Apple Knowledge Base article that tells you how to do it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111918
If reseating it doesn't help, it could be that the RAM is defective. (This happened twice with RAM I ordered. It was defective from the very start, and the vendor replaced it for me.) Try starting up with the 512 MB module removed and see it it starts up that way.
Please let us know how things go.

Ipod will only mount through USB

could anyone please tell me why my ipod will only mount and update with the USB cable, and not the firewire as it used to. it won't mount on the desktop or the new laptop (c/w Tiger) this way but seems fine through USB. Is using the USB a one way road?

... not sure. I have had trouble before. Turned out to be a "bad" firewire port. Others have reported that switching Firewire cables helped.
We can either try to figure it out ... or we could suggest uyou just reset everything. The latter is often easier.
This is in order of difficulty, I think:
1. Reset several times - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
2. Check the iPod directory - with your ipod disconnected, open iTunes and set the iPod preference tab to Manual. Quit iTunes, connect your iPod, and if iTunes opens, quit it again. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities folder). iPod should show up in list of drives on the left. Select the iPod and click "Repair".
3. Delete the iPodDriver.kext file:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61937
4. Since you have a back-up of your music, open Updater and Restore your iPod - this will reformat it so your music (on the iPod) will be lost. It will be replaced when you resync it with iTunes.
5. Reset your USB and Firewire ports - you might run a check to see if you get the same behavior using a different port. To reset the ports, go here:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?7@@.68bb75ef/0
One of those should do it.

CPU (HP-W.XP) freezes only when Ipod is plugged in through USB

I have read a good deal of posts that tackle the issue of the Itunes(V7) freeze, yet allowing the user to navigate around the rest of the screen.
I am having the full problem. The entire computer freezes the second I plug the Ipod in.
This has happened with:
-Itunes already opened prior to insertion.
-With Itunes closed.
The ipod (60g Video btw)does charge and information is not lost, but this of course negates the option to add podcasts and such, or use my laptop when it is inserted. In addition when the ipod is disconnected I am again able to navigate. This is spec an ipod issue as far as I am able to tell.
So, has anyone had this problem?
I will probably revert to an older version if I must.
Suggestions?

I was really really hoping that your solution would
work. Thank you for the idea. But alas, no, it still
has not corrected the problem.
Odd, but after leaving the iPod attached all night
(still using 7.0.2) none of the 21 gigs was copied to
the iPod except 1 episode of a podcast.
So it is still stuttering, and still "not responding"
with 7.0.0. Plus, even though I restored my iPod, it
did not ask or give me the opportunity to rename the
iPod after the restore. Should I try to reinstall
from the original cd? and then run iPod update from
the summary screen or try to find iPod updater
somewhere on the web? My 30g ipod is just ablut 1
year old and needed updating as soon as I bought it.
Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated before my
black iPod becomes an expensive hockey puck!
Have you tried removing your podcast subscriptions?
I was reading other posts that explained that "mad money" and otther various podcasts caused itunes/cpu to crash.
Rather than that, the process above is what provided my remedy.

IPod touch not working through USB in car

Does anyone know how to resolve an issue with the new IPod Touch 4th gen just purchased not working through car stereo. Have a new Toyota camry touring. You can hear sound when connected when you slide to unlock or go into an app the sound goes through the speakers fine but the radio face says loading and won't go any further, if you then try to go to the music screen it says connected so you can't get into the music to try to play. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it. Not sure if the software of the radio can be upgraded to suit maybe at service?? Not really sure. Any help would be great

Have you contacted your auto dealer? Some users have reported problems with there car systems not worked with the latest iOS. I searched the iPod Touch forum for Toyota but did not find any previous posts concerning Toyota.
Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- For the network problem, disable the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and restore the iPod.
- To get iTunes to see the iPod so yo can restore it, try:

Continuous endless cycle of restoring messages and iPod does not restore.

I have a black iPod Nano 4GB and I've been trying to restore it for hours. I have the latest iTunes and the latest iPod software.
Everytime I plug my iPod into my computer, it shows up in iTunes and iTunes says that I need to restore my iPod, so I click 'ok' and then I click 'restore'.
Then a window pops up saying that restoring it to it's orginial factory settings will erase songs, etc. So then I click 'restore'.
Then I wait and watch the progress bar.
Then a window telling my that my iPod is restored and to leave it plugged in pops up.
So I leave it in.
iTunes says it'll appear in the source list, but then the same message saying that I need to restore my iPod keeps popping up.
Then it just keeps going in this endless loop of clicking 'restore' and a continuous cylce of windows appear on my screen.
This is probably like the 7th time this has happened, and it's so frustrating!!
PLEASE HELP ME!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

IPod doesn't charge through USB 2.0 on PC

Hi all
I have a 30gb iPod video that came new yesterday. However, the battery is quickly running down and the unit won't charge properly. When I first connect the iPod to the USB port the charging flash appears at the battery icon and the iPod seems to continue charging while iTunes starts up. However, after 15 minutes or so, or as soon as iTunes has finished updating the iPod, which ever is sooner, the charging icon stops and the battery doesn't seem to take any more charge.
The iPod was plugged in for about 14 hours over night last night but the battery meter only showed half full this morning and the unit ran out of power after an hour or so of playback. Now whenever I plug it in, it charges for the couple of minutes it takes for iTunes to start and sync up and then stops again so the battery is still almost empty.
Is there anything I can do? Is the iPod battery faulty, or would buying the separate mains charger help?

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of thing I was suspecting and hoping for. However, I don't seem to have that option. I'm running windows 2000 professional and under My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware Device Manager I can select two different USB root hub items which have 'Power' tabs but on that tab there is only information about the amount of power devices on that hub are drawing, there are no options to be changed, nor on the other available tabs.
I'm using a USB port on the back of the computer as those are the only ones installed on the machine. I'm wary of buying the power adapter as, if this is a problem with the battery, I'll be laying out money for nothing.
But thanks for the replies

How can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without doing the restore through iTunes? He can't remember his passcode and when I try to restore through iTunes it never completes the update/restore without timing out?!?!

HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!

The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion. I read password instead of passcode.
The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode. Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
As for timing out during the restore...
If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer. If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network.

IPad 3 bricked after IOS update, will not restore through iTunes

Hi,
I have an iPad 3 wifi/3g model that bricked after an IOS update 7.0.6. The update failed at about 70% (Apple Logo with progress line on screen) and rebooted into recovery mode. I've tried doing a restore through iTunes mulitple times and even looked at jailbreaking it but no luck. It always fails during the update and I have tried muliple computers (Windows and Mac) Different networks (Home/Work) but the issue is still there.
The device won't go into DFU mode and in itunes it shows the serial number as n/a like the iPad has no software on it at all. I've tried everything I can thing of and I've had plenty of experiences recoverying and restoring IOS devices in the past. Tinyumberlla and other utils won't get it out of recovery mode and now iTunes won't even try to load the firmware back on the device, it just fails after extracting software.
I'm thinking its now a hardware issue, does anyone have another solution to try?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

My ipod won't charge with USB or AC adapter - only Firewire

I recently bought a 3rd gen 20 gig ipod of ebay and it won't charge through USB or AC adapter. When I charge it through firewire, it loses its charge fast, so I am assuming the battery is dead. This still doesn't explain why it won't charge through USB or AC. Does anyone know why this might be? Please help!

good to know that 3G ipods don't charge through usb - but I still don't understand why an AC adapter wouldn't work. I can't even figure out the charging patern - it seems that when I plug it in through USB it drains the battery, but the battery life varies. One minute it will have full charge, then the next it will turn off and say it is empty, then the next it will have half life, all without plugging it in. Frustrating...

If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.
