I tried to update my ipod to iOS 6.0.1 software but it froze of a while so i attempted to restart it, now it wont even turn on! The screen changes colors everytime. I held down the lock and the home botton to try to restart it but nothing works!

I have absolutly no acess at all and the only thing that does anything is the lock and home button if i hold them down together but it seems to repeat the process with no progress but a color change. I just want to fix this problem without ruining anything on my ipod.
!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

    I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

    You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  That is the only choise.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" here:

    If that doesn't work, you should restore your iPhone as described here.  Note you may have to try to get into the restore state more than once to succeed.

    After I tried to update my iPod 4 to iOS 5, my screen turned to the USB cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I try to restore it, it says that the 3014 error has occured. I went to check for support on iTunes and I did download the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1). I tried to restore it again and the same error occured. I dont understand half of the instructions for the resolution of the 3014 error code so I did the instructions that I understood and nothing has changed. Please tell me how I can fix it.

    Just what do you not understand?
    Did you try:
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes can't reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software and ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow these stepsfor assistance with security software.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow theadvanced iTunes Store troubleshooting steps to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information."
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Need help fixing my safari.  have already done files perms repair to no avail.  Only thing that happens when I select Safari is the screen changes color.

    I Need assistance repairing my browser "Safari" on my MacBook Pro.  The only thing that happens when I select it is that the Icon does bounce up and down.  I've already tried to repair the files perms to no avail. I have also created another user and tried to use Safari when logged on as them and it didn't work then either.
    Help!!  I'm new to Apple but have loads of PC experience...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    HI kidronatics,
    The pop up sounds like there is an issue with a script loading in Firefox. However in order to troubleshoot the freezing try:

  • Ipod 5th generation started loosing its battery really fast and now it wont even turn on.

    My iPod 5th generation is just over a year old and its screen is a bit cracked. a couple of months ago it started to keep its battery less and less and it would go to 100% battery after a couple of minutes and then when unplugged it would die just as quickly. For the past week or so I've had to use it plugged in as it was barely keeping any charge (1 minute) at the most.Last night I was using it and i unplugged it and put it on the shelf i presumed it would be okay through the night as i wasn't using it. But when i woke up it wasn't turning on at all and so i plugged it into the charger. The apple symbol came up for about a minute and then the screen went blank. I thought I'd leave it plugged in to see what would happen but it kept repeating the symbol to blankscreen process. If anyone knows whats wrong with it or how to fix it please tell me. as it took me a long time to save up for it and its a big loss of money for me.

    Hey xxikearnsxx,
    When troubleshooting power issues, the following article provides the most relevant information:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have been trying to update my ipod touch iOS

    I get error message saying it has "timed out" even after it actually says the correct amount of data has been downloaded. I have already turned my firewall off, and my antivirus as well.
    What else is happening?? This is frustrating when the file size is so large and on a limited amount of data for the month.

    this is happening to me as well, Windows 7;  i'm currently trying to download w/firewall turned off, is this a 15-18 minute download?

  • Screen changing colors

    Hey guys. Lately every time I've woken up my Macbook the screen changes colors. It will go through all of the primary colors and then some gray horizontal and diagnoal stripes, and sometimes the screen will flash in and out. Usually if I close the lid and reopen a couple seconds later, it's fine. But, is there any way of fixing this? I don't want it to turn into a bigger problem.

    You may be having a problem with your screen, your integrated GPU or your connection cable between the logic board and the screen. The only way to ferret out which problem you have would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the unit. They can give you an idea of what's up with the machine and an estimate on what it would cost to fix it.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
