  • My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    - After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  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.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

  • Macbook wont start and makes ticking noise

    The subject line says it all. My macbook wont start and it makes clicking noises from inside the case, kind of like a watch. The display turns on and the chime goes when it starts, but the screen stays white and nothing happens.

    You can run diagnostics from the OSX disc. Insert disc one and while it is booting hold down the d key. This should take you into diagnostics.
    You might also try to reset PRAM AND PMU first.

  • 4th gen IPOD 40G spinning and make noise

    My ipod shows the apple logo but starts to internally spin and make noise. When I connect to Itunes---it tells me I have a corrupt IPOD. I have tried resetting but to no availabe. AppleCare ran out 2 months ago. Any suggestions.
    I guess it will run until the battery is discharged.

    I have a 40g 4th gen and a 20g 4th gen. Both having same problem. Had the 40g sent out for repairs. Got it back, worked fine for one week and started making the "hung-up" noises. Repairman told me to give it a couple good "whacks" on it's backside and that seemed to do the trick. Now, if I could just get it to restore I'll be back in business.

  • Wont start - HD makes noise and the screen stays black

    Hi there
    This just happened today. Well yesterday while I was browsing suddenly for no reason my screenn went black and no amount of pressing of keys clicking etc could make it come alive again. So I powered down and restarted. It worked OK.
    Then today same thing, except when I tried to restart the HD started making loud 'wirring' noises and the screeen stayed black. I've been trying on and off to get it to start but no luck. Is there anything that I can do????
    The iBook hasnt been dropped or mishandled in anyway, and nothing has been spilt on it either.

    Try resetting the power manager:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    And if that doesn't work, it may be your power manager has gone bad. Hopefully your machine is still under warranty. If it isn't, an authorized service technician can still remove the hard drive and put it inside an external 2.5" Firewire case such as those made by http://www.macsales.com/ so that at least you can recover any files you haven't backed up.

  • My DAQ wont start, and I dont understand why?

    Hello,
    I'm writing software for a lab that I'm working in and I'm having a little trouble with a section of my code dealing with myDAQ. The goal is to use this DAQ to activate a minishaker device. Everything was working well but to fix a timing issue I changed the set up of the loop running myDAQ, and I'm wondering why my device no longer works. I've tested it using another program that controlls the device and it works on that so its not a hardware issue. I've  attached the section of my code that isnt functioning and I would really appreciate any pointers you can give me. (I kudos frequently)

  • MY IPOD WONT START AND WONT RESET

    Hello, I own the 20g ipod with colour display and picture storage. Recently i had it connected to my computer and it was displaying the do not disconnect message. However it was not doing anything on my computer. I decided to disconnect it and since then when i try turning my ipod on there is and error message with a picture of an ipod with a sad face and exlamation point. I have tried everything to fix it. I have tried reseting it but it does not fix it. I have tried putting it in disk mode and connecting it to my computer but it does not respond. It does make the beeping noise when i connect it in disk mode but does not show up on my computer. If you have any suggestions on how i could fix this problem i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

  • IPod wont start and wont reset

    Yesterday my 80 gig 5th generation iPod wouldnt play any songs and I reset it. Once I turned it on, the apple logo appeared then the iPod told me to hook it up to iTunes to restore the iPod. After I hooked it up a red X appeared. I tried what the site says, but nothing is working.
    What should I do?

  • HT1351 Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

    Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

    Try here:
    iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
    Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
    As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

    No, a normal iPod Classic doesn't shake and makes pinging noises, unless you are playing a pinging song. I would suggest you read this exorcism post by tt2

  • HT1414 my ipod wont charge and i have used different chargers for it is it possible to reset it while its dead?

    my ipod wont charge and i have used different chargers for it is it possible to reset it while its dead?

    I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
