IPOD COMPUTER RESET

Recently I have been having trouble with mmy ipod video, everytime itunes trys to update my ipod with a large number of songs or a video my computer screen dims and tells me the computer has to be reset, when I rest the computer and check the error log report it says somthing about allocation overflow with my ipod..

Sounds like you're probably using a laptop. You'll need to connect your laptop to its A/C charger because the iPod puts too much of a drain on its [your laptop's] battery when it is updating a large amount of songs.
If you're not using a laptop, or if you are and it's connected to its A/C charger... then I'm not sure.

I got my computer reset and my iTunes deleted. I still have everything on my iPod Touch but when I downloaded a new iTunes on my computer everything was deleted. How do I get everything in my iPod back to my iTunes and into my computer?

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

I need help! My iTunes is not connecting to iTunes but is being recognized everywhere else on my computer. I have reset my iPod, reinstalled iTunes, and restarted my iPod/computer.

I tried syncing my iPod with my iTunes tonight because I recently made a purchase. When I connected my iPod to my computer, it is being recognized everywhere except iTunes. I have reset my iPod, restarted both iPod/computer, and I have even reinstalled iTunes. Please help!!

I have even kept on hitting trust computer on my iPod whenever I plug it in but it still does not show up on my iTunes.

IPod shuffle Reset Utility & older "error 1418" thread

As you probably noticed, there's already an announcement about the iPod shuffle Reset Utility on this forum. As the announcement says, this utility indeed solves problems that were, until now, unsolved. One example is the "error 1418" problem discussed in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3191414
I think it would be really useful if there was a reply on that thread linking to the announcement, since people searching about that issue will most likely find that thread, and not the announcement (precisely what happened to me). The problem is that the thread is locked, but perhaps a forum admin can do it.
If that's not possible, the author of the announcement could at least edit it so that it includes the term "error 1418" (to increase the chance of people searching for that term to find that page).
I apologize if this has been suggested before.

I did not touch my shuffle for 3 days, tried it in my computer again, and it still failed. All the same problems. No lights and none of the programs acknowledged it, except the reset utility, which gave me the same error message.
So, I returned here, praying for answers. Nothing. For some reason, I tried turning the ipod on, and BOOM, I got a green light and it seemed okay. Tried it in my computer again, and now it works! I've reset it anyway (through itunes), and all seems well.
I guess time does heal all wounds. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Assume all worked out unless you hear from me again.
No more radio for me! (again)... yeah.

How do I get back into my ipod without resetting it? Its disabled and says I have to connect to itunes

How do I get back into my ipod witout reseting it? It says I have to connect to itunes becuase its disabled.

Restore. Note that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Menu and select button causing ipod to reset

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems with their menu and select buttons causing the ipod to reset itself? As of now, I can't use either of those buttons without it resetting. I've tried using the updater, and I've tried manually resetting it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house does this mean someone has stolen the iPod and reset it?

HI my sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house is it possible someone has stolen the ipod and reset it? Please help a confused mum...

Could be. The battery could also have died or it is no longer connected to the internet
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Ipod touch resets back to storebought condition

My iPod has reset itself back to the condition it was first purchased in twice now. The first time I had to re-add EVERYTHING, the second time my friend plugged it into his computer and everything I had lost was suddenly back on.
Why does this keep happening, and what exactly do I have to do to keep the data from being permanently erased? I have important notes and pictures on there, and I already lost a lot of them once...

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.

My iPod keeps reseting!

OK, real problem. My iPod keeps reseting when I connect it to a computer! All my files stored on it (I used it as a flash drive) are still there, but inaccesable, my computer says the disk doesn't exist. What is going on? And might this fix my video problem, too? (after the 15 minute mark, my movies always extend their time up to the 900s and skip frames at the speed of light. Entertaining for the Nostalgia Critic.)

Your problem is too complicated for me to understand, so try the basic 5Rs.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Or bring it in to Apple Genius store.
If you are using it as a "flash drive" which is another way of saying, you put it in DiskMode. You can't see the files in standalone mode, or if coonected to iTunes, it wont list your files. Only Window explorer can list your files.
Have a nice day!

Ipod constantly resetting itself when plugged into Itunes.

My new 5G 80gig Ipod constantly resets itself when I plug it into Itunes. Any ideas? The Ipod is new...

Here's what I've done so far unsuccessfully:
Placed it into disk mode, but it does the same thing. Once plugged into the computer the ipod is recognized by both windows and Itunes but it resets itself within 30 seconds. It constantly keeps resetting itself.
Also, since it keeps resetting itself, and therefore disappears form itunes, I cannot reformat/hardreset it via Itunes....

Ipod keeps reseting itself

so after i had the trouble with my ipod last week and ended up replacing it at the apple store for a small fee of $32.05, this new ipod is giving me more problems.
so this new ipod keeps reseting itself. for example, i connected it to my computer and the "do not disconnect" sign won't come off and it's not connecting to itunes. so i reset the ipod. it finally connected and then i ejected the ipod no problem. so then from now on, it resets itself, leading me to restore the ipod. so i restored it, and the problem still occured. and then i reset it again and now it's working fine.
in conclusion, does anyone have some suggestions/comments/idea for this situation?

that's EXACTLY what is happening to me. i plan to go back to the apple store very soon because i've run out of ideas as to what to do to solve this dilemma. i'm glad though i'm not the only one with this problem although i am sorry you have the problem too lol.

How are you resetting the password?
Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton
