IPod continually asks to be restored/Screen Black/Does not appear in Disk Managment

Okay, I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that was on version 4.2.1. I decided to update to an already downloaded version of 4.3.3. I Manually update by holding shift and clicking restore (I had save music and made a backup already). To do this I forced my ipod into recovery mode or DFU mode or whatever... After the restore went through, it finished and then it showed me that the iPod still needed to be restored so I restored it again. This continues on in an infinite loop of restoring. I started googling and found something about change the disk letter of your ipod in order to fix the problem of infinite looping restores but it seems that when I access Disk Managment, my iPod does not show. I had also realized that my iPod shows in iTunes as "iPod" but windows does not recognize it at all in the explorer. My ipod is around less than a year old. When I plug my ipod in, it make the connection noise. I have no idea what is going on and I've tried everything!

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

  • The Full Screen icon does not appear in Firefox 16.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and command+shift+F does not close the full screen view.

    I accidentally entered full screen view and was unable to exit. The Firefox Help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen+mac&r=0&as=s says I should see a Full Screen View icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Firefox window. That icon not there. I cannot find it. It does not appear in either the full screen or non-full screen views.
    Further, the Help article's advice to exit full screen view by using the keyboard sequence command+shift+F does not work. I had to unplug my iMac and reboot. Firefox then opened in non-full screen view.
    Ideally, hitting the Escape key would cause Firefox to exit full screen view.

    I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

    I just reset my iphone 4 running iOS5 and set it up as a new iPhone.    Everything appeared fine until I noticed the Lock Screen wallpaper I assigned does not appear after I lock it.   The home screen wallpaper does.    I hope someone can tell me how to fix this.

  • Ipod does not appear in file manager

    I have an iPad Mini running OS 7.0.4. I can no longer see this in File Manaager under Windows 7. yet iTunes is fine with it. Any ideas?

    When I try to restore it comes up with an error message (there has been a range of numbers). The I touch works, just not with itunes.
    Sometimes it recognises and tries to restore.  Other times it does not recognise. 
    I have read on a forum to change the letter assigned to a drive but I cannot see a letter assigned in the disk manager to be able to reassign.
    I have changed and reinstalled the Apple mobile device support .
    The problem seem to start after an update.
    I have spent hours trying to solve this, any advice would be great!

  • IPod touch 5th gen will not connect to iTunes, also apple mobile device usb driver does not appear in device manager. PLEASE HELP.

    I recently purchased my iPod touch with no issues. After updating to iOS 8.1.1 I found that my iPod would no longer appear in the latest version of iTunes and when I searched for Apple Mobile Device usb driver in the device manager, it was nowhere to be found. I've already uninstalled and re-installed ALL components of iTunes and read every single help article. I've tried everything. What went wrong?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Version 7.2.0 full screen mode does not appear in external display

    I just upgraded to Version 7.2.0. The new full screen mode is fabulous. But, when the video starts, it moves the QuickTime window from my giant, external monitor to my laptop monitor. Is there some way to view video in full screen mode on my external monitor?
    Cheers,
    Greg
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Here's a solution I thought should work for QuickTime(not pro):
    When you plug in an external monitor and choose to extend your desktop there is an extra tab in the "Display Settings" window for "arrangement". So, obviously on this page you can arrange your screens and decide which side you want your external monitor to extend your desktop on. Also, you can hold and drag the menu bar giving you the option of putting the menu bar on your external screen. So, one would think that the display that has the menu bar on it should be used as your default display. So, you would also think that QuickTime Player, when put into full screen mode, would use your "default" display to go into full screen. This seems logical, and possibly even desired behavior from a computer.
    However, this is not the case. When I gave this a try no matter where you put your menu bar the QuickTime Player will always open its full screen mode in your MacBook Pro's display. What I propose is some how (though I'm unsure of how to do this) contact apple with a feature request that would allow you to explicitly set a default display and to have all applications use that display for when it goes into full screen.

  • Blue screen option does not appear in iMovie '11.

    Hey!
    I am running OS X Lion on a 3 year old MacBook.  It's been running great...until today.
    I am trying to add a background to a blue screen clip.  I've done it before in Snow Leopard on this machine.  This is my first attempt in Lion.
    I have enabled "Advanced Tools" in iMovie '11.  However, when  I try and drag a background over a clip in Event Viewer, I don't get the green "+" symbol, and the background will only land either at the beginning of the clip, or at the end of the clip.
    I have deleted my iMovie plist.  No joy.  I have deleted the Library/System Preferences folder.  No joy.
    I have created a new user.  No joy.
    I am completely out of ideas.  Anyone?  Anyone?

    You were correct...I had the order reversed.  What a bonehead!
    I hate the way Lion re-opens windows at startup and had done a tweak to stop it from doing so. The "tweak" involved a terminal command and, of course, I quickly forgot what I had done.  I convinced myself that I had disabled the ability of the OS to save, or enable, a change in program preferences.  Man, what tangled webs (pun intended) we weave.
    Well, it's all good now.  Thank you very much for your advice.

  • My ipod is asking me to restore but itunes and windows dont recognise it!

    Hey,
    I've been having issues with my 30GB Ipod video it started off by not loading and making a clicking noise but then it went onto automatically loading into disc mode and you can't get out of it you can reset it but it was just going back to the same screen now its moved on and asks me to connect to the computer and restore using itunes however itunes does not pick up the ipod when I look in my computer it picks it up as a removable disc and when I click on this it asks me to format but it does not say format to for itunes like I have read in other forums so I'm not game to do that.
    Any suggestions?? I have come to terms with the fact all of my music is gone but it would be nice to get something happening with the device again.

    Holy Flicking Cow! I see two period punctuation marks in your post, so I know your keyboard must have one. Could you maybe try to make use of it a little more and make your posts readable. That might be the worst run on sentence I have ever had the pain to try and read.
    Anyway... Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

    Maybe:

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Hello Ryan,
    Since it sounds like you have already tried all the usual and available troubleshooting techniques, I would make a trip to your local Apple store/Genius Bar and have them take a look at it.  Your iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty that cover any defects (but not accidental damage!).
