Imediately disconnects when plugged into computer

When I plug the ipod in it brings up the connected screen on the ipod and brings up the syncing screen in itunes then immediately dissconnects. If I try to to apply changes, when I push apply it again says syncing in itunes but the ipod just remains on the menu screen and then a box pops up on itunes that says ipod could not be synced. the required disk could not be found. restore doesnt work either. i believe it generates error 1436 was the number. any help?

I had the same problem. The problem was my docking cord and my ipod's docking plugin. I took it to a appple store and they replaced my ipod. Good Luck!

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

    My iPod itouch when plugged into computer just flashes the apple logo otherwise it just won't start. Try to reset -nothing.

    Try:
    - 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.

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

    If this is brand new, you might want to think about returning it for an exchange. You shouldn't need to fool around trying to solve this issue with a brand new unit.

  • My phone needs to be restored and wont work when plugged into computer..help!!

    I recently had water damage and dried the phone out. Now it will not turn on unless plugged into wall outlet and it tells me to restore with itunes...I go to plug into computer and does not work...why is this?

    How can you not know your Apple ID?
    You can recover it at https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If you can not recover it there, you will have to call AppleCare and speak to someone in account security.

  • IPhone has 175 songs but iTunes says it has over 600 when plugged into computer

    On my iPhone4:
    In the Settings > General > About - My phone says it has 175 songs
    When plugged into a Mac with iTunes my phone reports that it has 175 songs under the tab 'On This iPhone'
    But, in the Summary tab, if you hover the mouse over the Audio area it says 665 songs.
    My phone is nearly full and I think this must be the culprit because I don't store much on my phone. So I am trying to figure out if there is a Deleted Music folder somewhere? Why is iTunes reporting so much music on my phone.
    I only have a handful of podcasts so that isn't it either.

  • Prob when plugging into computer.

    ok, i plug my pod into my computer, and i get the disconnect sign, but it beeps like three times, then it gives me the charging sign, except its frozen, you knw when you plug your ipod in to charge it, it gives you the animated figure, well same thing except frozen. my ipod is not shown on itunes, therefore my ipod is not being reed by itunes. after 3mins or so, the frozen battery goes back to the do not disconnect, and Then it takes the ipod onto itunes. Is there a way to stop this frozen battery wasting my time? i know how this started, its a long story, but i cant get rid of it!!! tanks, cllassic
    by da way... i also have a problem with norton, itunes, and my internet combining. ill proly start a new post

    I think I am having the same problem as you. When I plug my fully charged ipod mini into the computer it beeps 3 times then says "no battery power remains plug into power source" then it turns off and then says something about never unplugging my ipod without ejecting first but I didn't unplug the stupid thing in the first place. The same exact thing started happening to my husbands ipod shuffle on the same day. Somebody please help!!!!!! Oh, the battery also seems to be draining a lot faster than usual like in 30-40 minutes from being fully charged. This thing is a peice of crap and it's not the first problem I've had with it.

  • When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

    I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
    Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

    You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

  • Ipod locks up when plugged into computer

    I just downloaded itunes 7. And my video ipod came up on the desktop and in itunes as usual. Then I updated my ipod with the latest software and from now on whenever I plug it into my computer it instantly locks up and is not recognized by my computer. Suggestions?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm having a very similar problem. Upon first connecting (after iTunes 7 update) my iPod to my Windows notebook, it prompted me to update my iPod. So of course I said ok.... While trying to update the iPod it (the iPod) frooze and didn't install the update. I found a workaround to trick to to install. (Tell it to update it, disconnect for a few seconds and reconnect, it won't freeze and will restart and install the update.)
    Anyhow, now that the iPod has been updated to 1.2 software, I get artifacts on the screen (blocks & lines of various colors) and eventually it freezes up. I thought I'd try to restore the iPod, however, doing so did NOT really help. I still get the screwed up screen and frozen iPod! Although, it didn't freeze when it was updating the iPod with all my content (had prior to restoring).
    Not sure what Apple did, but they sure messed this one up!!
