In Serious need of IPOD HELP

Dear other frustrated ipod users,
I sit with the following dilema:
I have a Classic 160gb that refused to load more than 3267 songs, I have tried all your advise on various forums all over the world to sort this out but am stuck.
My ipod no longer is shown in Itunes, and shows in Windows & as a prtable storage devise.
I have reset, reinstalled, tried to format , tried to checkdisk in command function
And nothing, even tried on other pc's and is not recognised........
It simply froze whilst upload last week and now is as useful as a doorstop
Your advise is appreciated
David

I think your iPod is finished. It shouldn't have been "freezing" so much that you had to drain the battery, but now I suspect you've killed the battery as well (Li-On batteries don't like to be drained).
You didn't have to post the same thing under 4 different questions.

  • I need MAJOR ipod help!!!

    I just got a new iPod that's 120 GB because I was running low on disk space on my computer. So I added my entire music library which is about 8,000 songs, 50 videos, Photos and some IMPORTANT files to its drive. The iPod was working fine so I deleted all that music from my PC. Then suddenly yesterday the iPod froze so I tried to reboot it by holding center + menu. Now when I try to turn it on it asks me to connect it to the computer/iTunes. iTunes says I gotta restore it hence losing ALL my music, video and files I have stored there.
    Obviously I can't restore it or there goes all my music and videos. PLUS important files that I desperately need for work....
    I can't go into the iPod's hard drive because it says I gotta restore it when i try, so how do I get it to unlock it self from restore mode?!?!?!
    please help, I'm gonna go crazy because I can't lose these files that I stored in there. Not to mention I deleted all the music files from my computer, so basically I loose all my music because I always give away my Cd's. Please there's gotta be a way to reboot it without restoring the iPod and losing all the files.

    Bad move... You could so easily have your iPod lost, stolen, damaged or, as it is now, in need of restore. Thankfully there's reasonable scope for optimism in this last case.
    *Recover media from iPod*
    Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9935961#9935961
    Many of the recovery tools rely on the iPod having a valid library, which if it's in restore mode is unlikely. The manual method referred to in Zevoneer's post should work regardless.
    Depending on just how you put the pictures on the iPod you may be out of luck if you've deleted the orginals. Unless you included the option for "full resolution" images it will just have a libray of thumbnails. Some tools may recover these but the detail will be lost. If the originals have been put on the iPod iTunes will have assigned them names based on their dates rather than their original titles so you'll have to reconstruct these by hand.

  • Low Tech Gal in need of iPOD help...bad!

    I have a 60 Gig Color Display, have managed to successfully download songs, but have a problem with transferring videos/movies. The iPOD plays them, but there is no audio. I surfed the web last nite and found others had same problem, but saw no real solution. They are MP4 files and not mult-plexed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have a business trip later today and wanted to use the movie feature....heck, I'll even give ya a prize since answers are so hard to come by on here
    Thanks all !
    Katie

    I'm not able to play videos on my iPod, just photos. Yes you are correct about the Video on/off button. Do the below and maybe that'll work. Let me know.
    You may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
    To check, navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
    Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
    If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu.

  • IM IN SERIOUS NEED OF YOUR HELP! HDV 1080i 50 capture into Final cut pro 7?

    Hi everyone, Ive just recently got myself an IMAC with final cut studio. I also have a Sony HVR Z5. I have been shooting on the following settings:
    HDV 1080i 50 (scan type 50)
    Ive connected the camera to my computer via firewire but have been having huge problems working out what settings to use? Ive tryed the easy set ups but still no joy? I keep getting the following message pop up:
    'No date device. Capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data from device. Check your connections and that the disk is palying'
    The disk is def playing on my camera (I can see it on the viewfinder) but not on the computer?
    If anyone knows hot to solve this problem could they plare give me step by step instructions on how to set up final cuts capture settings?
    Thanks very much

    There is only one correct capture preset. Don't go screwing around with trying different ones, you'll just mess up your preferences file and corrupt it.
    To start trash your preferences.

    Set the HDV 1080i50 preset. Make sure the camera is set to output HDV and that iLink is switched off.

  • How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • Seriously Need Help With Lightbox Widget In Dreamweaver

    Hi guys, I seriously need your help with this widget.
    I'm not exactly new to Dreamweaver and I've been working on a particular website. Everything was going well until I dropped the Lightbox widget into the page.
    Lightbox gallery displays, but opens images in a new window on its own. Here's an example;
    http://imagesbylady.co.nz/photomike/HTML/promogallery.html
    Yet, when I drop the widget into a completely separate page from the website, it works absolutely fine. Like here;
    http://imagesbylady.co.nz/photomike/HTML/testing.html
    I have exhausted this entire forum on the subject. I don't understand how the widget can work on a blank html page but when dropped into an already designed webpage, it breaks....!
    If you need to have a look at the coding so you can help me further let me know. I've been on this for a total of 11 hours and I still can't figure out what the problem is. Seriously....i'm nearly close to tears! ;-(
    If you could help me out I would be forever grateful.
    Lots of Love

  • Seriously need help but cant get through via phone

    I am seriously needing help spend almost all week chatting with verizon via my verizon however nobody could come up with an answer for my problem  it seems that I have been locked out of using the online payment option  and the lady says it does not show that on her end  I need this addressed asap but the lines have been down for days according to the store I just spoke with.  is there someone in finance or billing that could call me?  I have several things I am trying to do  1.  add an account manager 2. make a payment arrangement for a week out ( I normally do this as my payday falls odd)  3.  gain access to online payments

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

    I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
    I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
    I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
    I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
    For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

    - 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 another cable
    - 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.

  • Need a ipod  will ipod 6TH GENERATION BE COMING OUT TRYING TO WAIT PLEASE HELP!!!

    I NEED A IPOD BUT I AM TRYING TO WAIT ON IPOD 6TH GENERATION WILL A NEW ONE BE OUIT SOON

    If you want to know when the 6 is coming out, you won't get an answer here. First, we are not allowed to discuss things that Apple may release in the future. Second, if they were going to release one, it would more than likely be on the iPod page months in advance.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...
