I was trying to update my ipod to the latest iOS version (5.1) but I got a notification that the update had failed. It was still functioning normally until a while later when it stopped working and all that is displayed on the screen is the itunes logo

and a USB. I tried resetting it severally by pressing the sleep & home button but that didn't help. I also uninstalled all my itunes related programs and reinstalled them but I'm still yet to fix the problem. Whenever I connect the ipod to my computer, windows seems to pick up on new hardware having been connected but you can't view the files on the ipod through itunes or my computer. The computer acknowledges that something has been connected but for some reason the ipod ain't being recognised.
ps- All I want to do is solve this problem so I don't mind losing all the files I had on the ipod as it wasn't much anyway.

Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    Hey there Raymondd2014,
    It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?

    You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.

  • HT2188 How can I update to the latest ios version on my ipod touch?

    How can I update to the latest ios version on my ipod touch?

    Check to see what model of iPod you have:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    If you have a second-generation iPod, the last version of iOS it can run is iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod touch, see:

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get FaceBook to open at all on my phone. Any ideas?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get the facebook app on my phone to even open. Any ideas?  I already tried shutting the phone off and restarting, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for any suggestions that will help.

    Do you have the latest FaceBook app version installed?
    If so, try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • TS3899 After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
    Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

    Some of the steps included:

    - Perform a Safe Boot
    - Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
    - Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility
    - Check your cables and power source
    - Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware
    - Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X
    - Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort
    (See article for full information on all of the above)
    Thanks,

    I've updated to the last IOS version and am now asked to accept the conditions. I click on I accept and am constantly referred back to the acceptance window. What am I missing? TIA

    Hi Vulcan37!
    I have some troubleshooting steps for you that can help you resolve this issue. First, you will want to try just performing a reset on your phone by following the instructions in this article:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    You may also need to make sure your Safari settings are set for accepting cookies. More information on this can be found here:

  • The option in Tools/Options to show my windows and tabs from last time has suddenly stopped working and all tabs are deleted when Firefox is re-opened.

    For some unknown reason this option has died. I have not changed anything and checked that the setting is correct. How do i get it working again. I work across a number of tabs at a time and have now lost a session and cannot recall all the websites concerned.

    You can check the browser.sessionstore.* prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset user set (bold) browser.sessionstore.*prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/restore-previous-session
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Hi i want to ask a question ok my MacBook stop working and all i want to know is why and how cand i get it repair

    I want to know why did my macbook stop working i can not login

    Considering that you're still running OS 10.5.8, that must be a pretty old MacBook. Instead of getting into an in-depth back and forth diagnostic discussion, I'd suggest bringing into an Apple Store for a checkout. Since repairs aren't cheap (if that's what's needed), you may end up simply replacing it. But does it not work even when plugged into the power adaptor?
