Ipod boot never end...

Hi all,
I have a big prob with my ipod photo 40GB : I tried to use it in disk mode to backup my hard disk, and during the copy the ipod gave a unknow error. Since this the ipod start the boot (white apple on black background) and never end, the boot restart every 5-10 secondes... no ipod on dekstop so no way to reinstall it with ipod updater. I tried the 5R but it still the same... Please help !!!
Thanks in advance
Phil

I am experiencing the identical problem. I am hoping that if I drain the battery until it is completely dead it may force a "hard" reset which when charged again, it may start working properly.
Let me know if you find anything out.

  • Boot never ends

    Hey guys.
    Yesterday i decided to install Arch, on my second HD
    It seems to me, that everything went fine, i just skipped the install of grub, because i already have grub on ubuntu. So i just went there and add a line to boot Arch as well.
    I reboot the system, and choose Arch, the boot began, and when i was already celebrating, the boot started to "freeze"
    It stopped for long times, on ata1, ata2, sd 0, and then after a really long wait he stop on "CD-Rom driver revision: 3.20"
    Can someone plz tell me if i did anything wrong? Is it a problem with my HD's? I have no clue o.o
    ============================
    on sda i have ubuntu hardy installed
    sdb1 it's where i installed Arch, sdb2 its swap, and sdb3 /home.
    sdc it's my third hd for files, musics, movies...
    ============================
    If you guys need anything else about the computer or the installation, just say
    Thks for the help.

  • Ipod restore never ends!?!

    I installed the latest updater, launched it, plugged in the ipod and hit restore. Now its been about 20 hours and ipod is still restoring. What do I do?
    G4 dual 867   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    It shouldn’t take any longer than a few minutes.
    First of all, try clicking on the little x in the top corner, which might take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets stuck.
    If this doesn’t work, shut down the computer, disconnect the iPod, restart the computer, run the updater again, and connect the iPod when prompted.

  • The iPod's never ending cycle of death

    Every time I try to transfer my songs from iTunes to my iPod, the process just freezes at around 350 songs transferred. I eject the iPod but it remains frozen at the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. I restart the iPod and find out that all my songs are gone. However, the disk space I've used is equivalent to the amount of data I transferred. So I restore the iPod with iPod updater to remove all those corrupted songs that are not showing up. I start with 0 songs again and try my iTunes transfer again. And, of course, the same thing happens. I have absolutely no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello all,
    I am so sorry to hear the number of problems caused with the XP users after the installation of the latest iPod updater. I could be wrong, but I am a believer that it is not the software that kills your iPod, rather, it is just during the installation where something wrong happened and screwed either the iPod or the PC. iPod is just a hard disk, unless it is damaged, problems can be resolved by reformatting. iPod updater is a software, it needs to be installed on this hard disk to facilitate the communication between the user and the PC. During the installation process, the header of the hard disk might get stuck at a point (the iPod will show a sad iPod icon or folder icon with an exclamation mark - as it is no longer being able to communicate with the PC) and the process would only manage to get half way through. And regarding the problem where iPod does not manage to be mounted or recognized, it's simliar to a problem of some corrupted OS files.
    To make the long story short, how can we fix this then? We can do a Reset or have a full battery charge and hope the iPod can complete the installation process. If fails, I will ask you a question - how are you going to deal with the hardware problem of the header of the hard disk got stuck? Hitting the back of the iPod with your Palm? (I do not know? please refer the following post)
    Mitch 751, "Newest update/iTunes kills iPod?!?" #7, 12:37am Oct 29, 2005 CDT
    The key point now is how can we do the reformating and finish the installation process of iPod updater.
    I always suggest user to plug their PC formatted iPod with a Mac or vice versa, as when you plug it with the computer, it will be treated as an external Hard Disk and allow you to do the Restore, as the format between PC and Mac is totally diffenent, it may force the stuck hard disk header to move. I did manage to fix many iPods this way, why dont you have a try yourself if you can find a Mac computer.

  • D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

    I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
    If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
    If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
    Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
    My questions:
    what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
    is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
    Thanks for your help!
    Lenovo PC Think Station D10 6427-H6G, Windows XP

    regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
    regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
    also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.

  • Initial Time Machine Backup never ends

    Hi all folks,
    I try to backup my PB12 Disc (120 GB) to a external 500 GB Disc, connected via FW400, but the backup never ends, I think.
    The backup starts with 100MB/min but after 20h (80GB are store to a external Disc) it slow down to 1MB/min.
    With the "Activity Monitor" I see only some disc activities and a "mds" and "mdworker" process use some cpu time only (more than 10%).
    Where can I get some detail information, a log file, about the Time Machine activity from.
    Thanks for any help,
    Lutz

    Hi all folks,
    the initial Backup ends after 2 days (nice to to see, :-(),
    but on the boot volume I can go the time walk only.
    I split my disc into two partitions, sorry.
    Bye, Lutz
    p.s.
    With CCC I spend 4-6 hours to back up my disks only (100GB).

  • Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

    My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance (: !

    Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
    Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
    Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
    If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
    (If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
    You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    IF your computer still has issues then:
    Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
    (Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
    Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
    Do not erase or reformat the drive.
    Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
    It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
    This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
    Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
    Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
    Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
    Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
    If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
    The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
    http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
    Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Silverlight here
    https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
    Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
    If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

  • Sync never ends

    I have a new 32mb Touch. I originally synced it while on vacation with PC #1, and it worked perfectly. Now I am home, and I have attempted to sync it with PC #2.
    I tried several times to sync to PC #2, and each time it would successfully transfer all (or most) of my media, but the sync process would never end.
    I am using iTunes 7.6.1.9, and my Touch is version 1.1.3 with Software Upgrade.
    I even went so far as to do a total restore of the Touch, but this doesn't seem to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    That would be the best thing to first do and then use the recovery media of which you will now have to order since the O/S seems corrupted beyond repairs. This way you can be sure the recovery media will restore it back to factory install and hopefully they will not do this again til they will consult first before upgrading the O/S.

  • Itunes synchronization with iphone5 never ends, why?

    itunes synchronization with iphone5 never ends, why? I have NO jailbreak or similar.

    Hello willy198
    Try removing an option that you sync like music. Uncheck it then sync and then revert the change back. Test the sync and it should resolve the issue.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.

    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Apple Hadrware Test never ends after ram upgrade

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro 15" mid 2012 (not the retina) with osx 10.9.4.
    I recently upgrade my 4go of ram to 8go of ram (Corsair Vengeance SODIMM 2x4go PC12800 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9).
    In order to test the ram I use the Appel Hardware Test.
    Both mode, simple and extended, seems to be frozen and never ends.
    I try to let the test works the all night and the all day but the test never ends.
    So I decided to test my ram with memtest86 boot cd and everything seems to be ok.
    The fact that Apple Hardware Test never ends trouble me.
    Do you think there is a problem with my ram ?
    Do I need to return my ram ?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    We could discuss how you'd benefit from the additional memory, however, since the system isn't working, let's focus on the beeps.
    When you start the system, it goes through some tests (called the power on self test or POST) before loading the operating system. If it finds any errors, it beeps, and the beeps are:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    3 beeps means it doesn't find any memory that passes the POST test. The fact that this started up after the service center installed the memory upgrade is suspicious, however, if it worked in the store then stopped working later, it may just be unfortunate timing.
    There are some company's on the internet that claim they can repair the logic boards, otherwise, Apple's solution is to replace them. In the US, some Apple stores offer a 'fix everything' service for $350, which is less than specifically replacing the logic board - perhaps there is a similar service in Taiwan.
