I'm having problems with my iPod

I had my iPod plugged in and it didn't show up right away on iTunes. Then it said it was having problems and to restore it to the factory settings, well I was stupid and just disconnected it. Now it's frozen, and shows a sychronizing sign not moving and says 1:36 PM. My computer and iTunes won't read it. Can anyone help?

Have you tried [resetting your iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320]? Resetting it should clear it so that you can connect it to your computer again and have it be recognized.

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter

I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
1. Settings - wifi - linksys
2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
Settings.
3. Http proxy should be
in off position.
4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
connection.

Hi can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I
accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old
backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one
or find it on computer

The following says how to restore from backup.
iOS: How to back up
If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos? Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes? Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?

If I ran an ios diagnostic quick test, and was not having problems with my ipod touch before can running that test harm the ipod in any way?

I chose the wrong category in support before I came to the forum (I chose service request and troubleshooting instead of using ipod with itunes, and they had me run an ios diagnostic quick test. What exactly does that do if I'm not having problems? Can that harm the files or hardware on the ipod if I'm not having any problem with my ipod and don't want to troubleshoot anything on it?

I have no idea what iOS test you are talking about,. Please provided details.
I can't imagine that the test would effect the iPod.

I'm Having Problems With My iPod, Is any one else?

Hi, I was given a 5th Gen. iPod for Christmas which replaced my 3rd Gen. one. I loved my 3rd gen. and had not one problem with it. At first My new ipod was great until I started back at Uni after Christmas hols. which was the point at which i started using it very regularly and i started having some problems which are actually starting to ruin my enjoyment of my music.
I'll list them here. What i want to know is are other people having the same probs or am I an unlucky one and should try and get it exchanged/fixed as its still under warranty, or is there something else i can do? I've already restored twice to factory settings with no joy. And I have the latest iPod Software (1.1)
The Problems are as as such:
1. Often when watching videos the video will freeze but I still get sound and I can't get the video to unfreeze unless i totally restart the vid. from scratch.
2. The Battery Life meter is very intermittent it will jumps from almost empty to half full and back so i have no real idea what the battery life is like (this hasn't happened that often).
3. I often get the Warning triangle on start up and no matter how many time I do the reset (Hold off-on then select-menu) it wont reset properly (it does eventually work but after a combination of many tries, plugging it in etc. very frustrating this one)
4. Freezes on updates numerous times. Esp. If I do an iSync to my calendar etc. as well (Btw it doenst freeze necessarily on the iSync part just seems to happen more often if i have iSync setup).
5. Freezes on start-up at the apple symbol and again resets often don't work.
plus various other odd problems. At the moment I'm very disappointed with it. First time I've said that about an Apple product For a long time. Is there something i can do or are a lot of other people having similar problems, is this a send back issue or try and wait for the next firm/software to fix the problem?
Any Ideas would be much appreciated,
Thanks You

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

I am having problems with my iPod Classic crashing after a partial sync with my library. It also disconnects on it's own causing an error.

I have an iPod 120gb Classic That I bought to use with an Apple Universal Dock connected to my home stereo. Since day one when I put the iPod in the dock it flashes rapidly between "connected, eject before disconnecting" and "disconnected, error". Eventually it usually settles down and is functional. Sometimes this flashing screen scenerio goes on for several minutes.
This morning I got tired of putting up with this problem and tried to restore and update the i{Pod hoping that it would fix the problem. So, I did the restore but when I tried to reload my music it stopped part way through the sync. Additionally, it seems to disconnect on it's own during sync and updates.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT201413 im having problem with my ipod. it cannot be recognize with my laptop. how to fix these? i already tried ur suggestions here but still didnt work. and also it cannot connect to itunes. plese I really need a help.

my ipod is not recognized by my latop and even not connecting to itunes. I also tried to connect to other laptop and it works. I think the problem is with the software, how to fix this? a big thanks.

Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!

Having Problem With Syncing Ipod Help Really Appreciated

I am having problems with my iPod.

I can plug in my iPod to my computer but it will only charge; it will not connect to iTunes. This also means that I cannot sync music to my iPod. It has been this way for 4-5 months. Originally iTunes told me that because it did not have some "folder" it would not sync or connect. Now it does not even show that pop-up; it only shows my iPod charging and not connecting to iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I really want to upload my new music that I've bought.

Try the standare fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
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.
- Retore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
- If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is inorder.

I'm having problems with my iPod & iTunes

My iPod doesn't show neither on the desktop nor in iTunes now. I just don't know what to do. Before, it did show and the computer recognized it. Now, I connect the iPod and it's like is not connected. This December, I got the iPod Nano and I just made an update on iTunes to v3 and after that, is when my old iPod just doesn't show in iTunes . I have an eMac. I used to like my old iPod, but now it's just giving me lots of headaches. Can anyone help me? What can I do? Is there a chance for my old iPod to be recognized again by iTunes?
Help!!!

Maybe this:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I'm having problems with my iPod 5, basically it try click on a song and it directs me to a different one

Is there any way I can fix it or should I return my iPod?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I was having problems with my ipod so i reset it

And then after it was done i wanted to use the backup file i had done to get all my music, apps, contacts, ect back but it asked me for a password and so i entered my apple ID password and it wont take it so i dont know what the password is and i dont want to lose all the stuff i purchased...how do i recover my password?

For some users their iTunes password worked but that does not seem to be the case here. Try your screen-lock passcode. Otherwise, all you can do is guess or restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
For information, music, the apps themselves (app dataisin the backup) and some other stuff isnot in the backup. It is synced to the iPod from the iTunes library to the iPod during a latter part of the update process. See the following for what is in a backup.

I'm having problems with my IPOD Touch

I've tried to reset by iPod touch by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. It's been plugged in for a couple of day's. All I get is the Apple logo, nothing else happens. I don't see the iPod on ITunes so I can't restore it. Is there another trick or do I need to take to into the shop.

try the suggestions in this KB.
also, please update your profile. if your Mac is a G4 PowerBook, you can't possibly run 10.6.3.
