Ipod can't mount error, and cannot restore it even in hard disk mode

OK, so i've had my 5G ipod about a week now, no joke, got it on my brithday on the 24th of April. the first thing i did was update it's firmware and yes i have the newest itunes and quicktime installed on my pc.
i've got to say i've had a lot of freezes during video playback and had to restart it a few times, it happened once again today, and upon restarting i got the go to http://www.apple.com/support/ipod along with the folder image. since then i've never been able to start it up properly, and i can get it into disk mode or connect it to the computer and its recognised on the USB, but i noticed the images on the ipod are the black and white ones, and it's not in colour.
i triedto restore it, but no luck, it says 'ipod can't mount'. i put it in disk mode and then tried to open it through my computer and it says it's not formatted, so i try but it doesnt let me and says theres nothing connected.. i check the disk management in windows xp, and it shows up as "unreadable" and not in the partitioned and formatted disks list. i have absolutly no idea why this has hapened, and i've tried everything i can think of to fix this.
i will most likely take it back to the store and get a replacement within a week, but i'm just wondering if anybody has any experience with this problem or something similar? i've read about somebody popping it open and disconnecting the battery, but since i'm only a week into it, i'm not gonna bother with this in case it could void the warranty..
so yeah, unless anybody has any ideas i'll take it in as soon as possible..
any suggestions appreciated thanks

i took it in, and they said they will replace it on the spot if i bring it back in the box.. so that's what im doing today.

  • Can I store iPhoto and iTunes libraries on an external hard disk?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with Retina Display that I bought new in late 2014.
    It has 250GB of storage but apparently I am already running out of space already.
    I want to know if I can store my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on an external drive to help free up space.
    Also, when I get the breakdown of space used on my internal storage, it shows "photos, audio, movies," etc and how much each category takes up.  But for some reason "Other" takes up nearly half of my hard drive.  Is there a way I can find out what "Other" files I have that I might be able to delete to reduce the size on my internal disk?

    1. Yes. Drag the libraries there, launch the applications with the Option key held down, and choose those libraries; the iPhoto one needs to be stored on a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended.
    2. Click here for information. If desired, run a tool such as GrandPerspective.

  • HT1363 screen on my classic iPod does not show anything and cannot restore

    Brand new iPod Classic and the screen has gone blank...unable to restore, some error message pops up, not pleased with this product as this is the third one in a year! Any ideas how to rectify this problem?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes.
    If iTunes does not see the iPod, place th iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If that does not solve the problem you may have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is inorder.  I doo not like that the corner gets hot.

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • Can't launch installation for CS4. "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."

    I got a new macbook pro with mac ox 10.9.4 and couldn't launch the installer for CS4. The setup error message was "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance." Any idea you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

    I checked the earlier log file. It seemed recorded with error and fatal, when I first experienced with the message titled. Please see the messages below.
    Moreover, after running a cleaner program, there was no error and fatal message in a log file.

  • Frozon "Do not Disconnect" image and cannot restore

    My iPod is frozon on th "Do not Disconnet" image and mt ipod is corrupt so i need to restore it yet i can as it comes up with an error saying "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod "ipod". the requested resource was not found." any ideas i really need help cause i cant listen to any music on my ipod as it is frozon and cant restore
    Geo

    I held the "Menu" button along with the center button
    for about 6 seconds (as they state you should) and
    all of the sudden the screen finally broke from the
    "Do not disconnect" screen and began charging, now
    everything is working as it should.
    Oh my gosh, thanks so much, that did it! I, too, did not know that the "Select" button is the middle. And in fact, in all my prior repeated attempts to re-set my iPod, I had made a point of trying NOT to press the middle, but just the Menu button and the bottom button at the same time (since I thought that the bottom/play button must also be the select button). (Why did I think that? Answer -- because the 5R's instructions seemed, I mistakenly thought, to be saying to be careful not to touch the middle. I guess not. If anybody at Apple is reading this, please note that people like me can easily confused by unexplained verbiage like "Select button," apparently. Please consider tweaking the 5R's instructions to explain this to others.)

  • HP ToolboxFX has encountered an error and cannot recover (HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP)

    We have an HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP.  Just starting receiving an error with the HP ToolboxFx on Windows 7 32 bit start-up.  We can scan and the printer test prints, but it says the HP Toolbox has encountered an error and cannot recover.  Please restart the HP Toolbox FX...or...toolbox version 006.15.01163.  In toolbox screen, it says cannot connect to device.
    I have tried a number of things and read posts, but still no luck.  I can still scan, though.  Help?

    Hi,
    Try installing the latest firmware of the printer, reboot both the printer and the PC and check for any difference:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-86043-11&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    If that doesn't help, go to C:\HP Laserjet M1530 Basic Software\Utilities and follow the Scrubber.exe to uninstall the software (it may vary and may be named similar as NTScrubber for example).
    Reboot your PC, go to Drive C and remove the M1530 Basic Software folder, then download and install the latest software below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-86005-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...

  • Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.

    I have an iMac that meets system requirements.  I have downloaded CS4 from Adobe and when I try to install it says "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."  This happens while it is checking the system profile.  I have read many forums and tried the following:
    Re-downloading the software
    Moving the download to an external drive to install
    Deleting all Adobe programs on my computer
    Clearing all caches
    Installing in safe mode
    Verifying the disk
    Creating a new administrator and then installing
    Attempting to re-install after the error
    None of these options have seemed to make a bit of difference. If there is another option could someone please share?  Adobe said they will not ship actual discs although I own the program.  They have yet to be able to help me when I have called. 
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    During setup of Iphone 6 I keep getting error message "cannot restore backup" from Icloud.  I backed up my old Iphone 5 yesterday.  Is it because of different operating systems? Please help. Thanks!

    Does your iPhone 5 IOS is later than iPhone 6 IOS?
    If true, you need to update your iPhone 6 before you can restore from your backup.
    If not, is iPhone 6 connected to power supply?
