Ipod crashed need help

this happened yesterday i was using my 80g ipod it started skipping through a song then started skipping songs then it took a half hour to restart it i tried restarting it 5 or 6 times then after i restarted it. my ipod said i didnt have any music or videos but when i plug it into the computer it says i have music. what do i do?

Then it sounds like an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.

Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

    Is the device actually showing low memory errors?
    What is really occurring?
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

    Hello guys,my ipod touch has battery problems and internal speaker are not working and will apple replace me a new one,i even have 1 year warranty and i want a new ipod touch white instead of black<<<plz plz plz reply ASAP plz really need HELP!THANK YOU

  • Getting an ipod but need help

    so i will travel to another state and i will be with my aunt that doesnt have a computer and of course no internet. so i wanted to know if there is any place where i can tranfer music to it. like an apple store? please i need help

    It would probably be best to find a family friend who can give you some time on their computer but here's some additional advice. By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and playlists", and it links to a specific computer to update. To use it on multiple computers you need to change the update method to to "manually manage songs and playlists":

    i dont know how to sync music to my ipod. i need help

    You can sync music to the iPod by connecting it your computer, selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then using the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music library to sync to it. There are some instructions on syncin music on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    You can also download a copy of the iPod manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipod/#ipodtouch

  • Fixing my friends ipod   but need help with  crashing freezing etc probs

    my friend as us to fix his ipod two weeks ago as it had a sad face and was making grinding noises.
    well we fix it but it is now very slow, and he says its freezing. this was after the fourth or fifth format restore as a normal itunes restore doesent work.
    so afteer formating it on abuntu cus we descovered 2 partitions
    it now works ... then we sync it with itunes 7.5 it crashed tried 8.0 it crashed even tried 9.25 and 10.1.
    it crashed and locked the computer.
    the drive is griding like mad , its slow and it wont always show up.
    we think it a classic 5 g , it has a 30 gig hard drive, (post s/n later as im writing this in bed)
    we got it up and running and then itunes 7.5 crashed. now it gone back to a small circle with a line which is black.
    it looks like the wrong firmware keeps booting as it is suposed to be a red circle with line which is twice the size.
    i know it had firmware 3.1 on it before and it eventually finds it. and works but
    can someone tell me
    1 where do i find the correct version of the firm ware as i think the current 1 is scrambled.
    as for the hard drive it is getting hot and griding do u think i need replace it.
    think s/n or model number is m????k something.
    were runing out of ideas
    can u help
    btw my first post.

    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that the iPod's hard drive is failing. Take the iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. The iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest the drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace the iPod. Check the stats after another attempt to update the iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next, e.g. replace the hard drive or the entire unit.

  • Major iPod Problems, Need Help Solving

    One day I was casually syncing my iPod video with my computer to get a few new songs uploaded onto it.
    Suddenly, the iPod freezes up, shuts itself off, restarts, and magically it has forgotten everything and pretends it is a brand new iPod.
    No problem, I think, believing it will just need to load the songs again and everything will be fine.
    However, this is not the case.
    The iPod would then continue to load all the songs, shut down after loading them, restart and again pretend it is brand new and lad all the songs again.
    This continues to happen again and again.
    I try to update my iPod, figuring it may just be a version error or somesuch nonsense. The updater refuses to work and actually causes my iPod to crash, saying it has a diskwrite error.
    It refuses to "System Restore" on my computer, so I run the "System Restore" on another window computer that I own. And it runs just fine, making the iPod load songs once more.
    And I think, problem solved!
    However, again, this is not the case.
    I load it once, everything goes fine.
    The nxt day, after buying more songs, I try to upload and after the upload, the iPod shut off, restarts, and pretends to be new once more.
    I go through the "System Restore" process again, but afterwards, the iPod all out refuses to upload my music fully, shutting off about halfway through the process each time.
    And now whenever it is plugged into my computer, windows says it is unreadable and must be reformatted, so I run the updater and it says that there is an "iPod manager internal error" which could basically be another language considering my only basic knowledge of computers.
    Is there any way to repair my iPod at home? Or must it be sent in to Apple?

    GREAT NEWS!
    Last night, through some very thorough digging in the
    "Search Discussions", I found the answer and now my
    iPod is running perfect once more!
    Thank you very much for your help b noir. Without
    you, and many others on this board who had their
    problems solved by equally helpful people, I would
    still be digging through Apple's support section to
    no avail.

  • TS4062 My original computer crashed need help trasnfering music

    My orginal computer crashed and I bought a new computer and downloaded itunes i lost most of my music (no problem I just reloaded it from the cds) but now I can not get the music to sync like it did before.  Could it be due to me trying to back up my info on the cloud?  Right now when I plug the phone into the computer via usb cord I am told that itunes cannot find the computer and that I need to return to factory settings.  I really don't want to have to do that.  Any help would be wonderful

  • Random wireless crashes ( need help urgently)

    Hi, I'm using a WRT54GSv4 router and I have two computer connected to it. One pc is connected by wire and the other computer ( IBM t60p labtop, integrated Intel Pro/wireless 3945abg, running MS Vista OS ) by wireless. the wired one is working flawlessly, although the laptop has some serious connectivity issues. The thing is, that the laptop sometimes ( well, rather often ) looses the wireless connection and cannot connect unless I restart the router, but after 3 minutes or so, it disconnects again and again. I'm not sure if this is the issue, but it seems as if the wireless starts crashing if the wired computer starts to eat up more or the internet connection. I had the same problem with my previous laptop ( IBM T41 ( I think ) too. And if i disconnect my pc, wireless problems seem to disapear (sometimes). I'm getting kinda desperate.
    My router wireless settings:
    Wireless mode: G-only name:
    linksys ssid broadcast:
    enabled wireless channel:
    6- 2.437GHZ security mode:
    WPA Personal WPA alorythms:
    TKIP group key renewal:
    3600secs MAC filter: OFF
    Auth type: auto
    Basic rate: All
    Transmission rate: Auto
    CTS protection mode: Disable
    Frame Burst: enable
    Beacon Interval: 100
    DTIM Interval: 1
    Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
    RTS Threshold: 2347
    AP Isolation: Off
    SecureEasySetup: Enabled
    Message Edited by Offset on 09-29-2007 02:48 PM

    Give your network a unique SSID.  Do not use "linksys".  If you use "linksys", your computer might try to connect to your neighbor's network, and this can cause network slowdowns, and sometimes disconnections.
    Also, make sure you have the latest driver for your Intel wireless card.
    Windows XP has WZC (Windows wireless zero configuration).  (I don't know if Vista has this.)  You cannot use both WZC and the Intel wireless configuration software at the same time.  You must use one or the other.  Turn one off, then try the other one.  If you try to use both at the same time, you will have connection problems.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    Hope this helps.

  • Hard drive crash need help with new iTunes load and backup files

    I have looked through the posts and not found my situation.
    I had my iPhone synced to a PC computer and the hard drive crashed. I had an extensive library in iTunes, but none of the music was purchased online so I can't simply download it again. It was all from CD's, many of which belonged to friends. I now have an iMac. The music I like is still on my iPhone, but not on my new iMac. When I try to sync the iPhone with my iMac it wants to delete all the music on my iPhone. Is there any way to copy the music off my iPhone first - so I can add it back into my iTunes library?

    Yes, luckily I have been in this situation.
    You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
    One of these should suit your needs:
