Try:
- Another cable
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod Classic keeps crashing I-Tunes and will not receive any music
Yesterday I deliberately deleted all the songs off I-tunes and tidied all my music up, got rid of all the Albums I didn't listen to and a lot of singles from years ago. I then connected my Ipod Classic (80gb if that makes any difference?) to my computer and because I-Tunes had no songs it updated the Ipod and wiped that aswell.
The problems started when I added all the songs back to I-Tunes and tried to sync the Ipod. It came up with an error which i cant remember exactly, something like an error has occurred and synchronisation can not be completed. Also Windows gave me an error box saying that a 'device' had bad sectors and needed to be repaired or it may not function correctly in the future.
I can no longer connect the Ipod as it just crashes the computer. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can repair the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Robdoes it stay on a white screen ?

My computer is not reading my ipod and its not showing in itunes
my computer is not reading my ipod and it does not appear in itunes
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What shows on the iPod's display when it is connected? Does it still charge?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.
Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipod does not show up in I-tunes and does not allow me to Restore
My Ipod does not show up in I-tunes since I switched from my desktop to the laptop. When I connect to the laptop I-tunes freezes and stops responding. I have tried to update or restore my I-pod to start anew with my laptop but I get a message that says "Firmware update failure, disk write error"! My ipod still works but I cannot update my songs or sync it to the new laptop. Am I totally out of luck or can something be done to save this. Dont these come with a year warranty? Can Apple fix this if it is beyond my help?
well done pezdzpnzer!
Unfortunately I am not able to take advantage of the USB 2.0. Is this permanent or did I just have to turn it off originally.
hmmm. now the initial synch has gone through, we might try experimenting with re-enabling the high speed interface (mentioned at the end of the other document.
it may also be worth checking up on this document:
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
if the problem comes back/persists, it might be worth heading to the Toshiba website and checking for updates for your make and model. on some Toshiba laptops there was a general issue with the USB that was fixed by a BIOS update, and that helped with the ipod connection issues ... but the reports i saw here (a few months ago) didn't mention a specific model as far as i recall.
merry christmas!

My itunes is not reading my ipod nano
What do I need to do to get my itunes to read my Ipod. I already updated my itunes and my ipod is not being read. My ipod displays a yellow circle with a black icon, under the icon the screen reads Connected - eject before disconnecting. But I don't see the ipod icon on my desktop nor in my itunes source list. What is my next step?
Hello Charles,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take:

Windows and itune not recognizing my ipod shuffle
i got ipod shuffle 2 weeks before .it was working for 2 days. after that i got no response frm other day.now my windows and itune is not showing my ipod and when i connect it to my system orange light blink for three times and then stops.
please do help me...I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
Please help!!! -
Why can Itunes not read my ipod's content?
Everytime I do an update on itunes it works perfectly fine. The second time I open up itunes on the most recent version it says it cannot read my ipod's conent. So it's not my ipod that doesn't work since it can work the first time it is on itunes, it is itunes that does not work. I don't have a backup file for my songs and I do not want to restore my content. I just want to add more music from itunes which does work THE FIRST TIME. The last time I even tried to restore my ipod to factory settings it wouldn't even let me. It also isn't letting me doing any updates on my ipod for some reason and it says I'm still on 4.3.5, but that isn't even an option below. (I hate itunes, it's far too complicated than it really needs to be).
Okay, so I had persomed a diagnostic check, and it said ipod not found. Does that help or make it worse?

So I came to this problem a while ago. M ycomputer basically froze so I was forced to shut down by holding the button down. When I started it up I got the flashing folder with a question mark. I started it up holding down the command and r keys which brought me to disk utility. Although my computer doesn't read that I have a hard drive to start it up. When I click on the disk utility app, I cannot verify or repair anything either. The buttons won't allow me to click on them. It also shows "Mac OSX Base System" which shows I have files and what not saved. I had been told that I need a new hard drive so I bought and manually installed a OWC SSD 240GB drive and when i booted the computer up it booted up yo the operating system fine with all my files and what not on there. After about twenty minutes, it froze again. I forced a shut down, restarted and the same thing happened. I am not able to choose my SSD to boot up, although thats probably because it doesn't have an operating system installed on it??
i have a Macbook Pro 13" 2011
any help would be great, I'm overall confused.ryansaint11,
this isn’t Apple support; this is a user-to-user forum. We’re just fellow users of Apple products here.
If you want to boot from your SSD, then you should put the SSD where your HDD currently is, and put the HDD into the optical bay. (That setup will also get you the best performance.) At the moment, you’re still booting from your HDD. Note that you will need to format your SSD in Disk Utility [with the “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)” format] so that you can install OS X onto it.
Since you have an Early 2011 model, it might or might not have originally come with grey installation DVDs. You will be able to find out whether it did or not by trying to use OS X Internet Recovery to install OS X onto your SSD. If it does not work, or if the installed OS turns out to be Snow Leopard, then it will have originally come with the DVDs, and you should purchase a replacement pair of DVDs from Apple or iFixit; those discs will have your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test and its iLife apps. If the installed OS turns out to be Lion, then it will not originally have come with the grey installation DVDs, and your Apple Hardware Test will be installed along with Lion, and your iLife apps will be downloadable from the Mac App Store. -
