IPod cycles hard reset after Texas Hold'em install

I'll send the message to Apple and call as well tomorrow, but thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone has advice - and also as a cautionary note.
I downloaded Texas Hold'em tonight to install onto my 5G Video iPod. I'm running iTunes 7.0.1 (7) and have the latest updater installed.
After playing the game for about ten minutes, my iPod froze. Not such a big deal, I thought. I performed a hard reset and figured it would take care of itself.
Unfortunately, my iPod now cycles through hard resets on its own every 5 seconds or so. The Apple logo appears on the screen, the hard drive spins up, then the iPod immediately shuts down again and restarts, ad infinitum.
I'll reformat it using iTunes, but you can see the problem here - that requires getting the iPod to successfully restart itself. I went through the iPod diagnostics and everything seems to check out okay. I put it in hard disk mode (something I've never done with this particular iPod). I get a black and white graphic of the lightning bolt (don't know if that's normal or not) but the computer will not find the drive when connected.
Wondering if anyone knows of any third party software that might be able to help get the iPod to mount in external HD mode. I just need to get it mounted somehow so that I can reformat it.
Thoughts?

Yes there is a software called yamipod, you can download it at www.yamipod.com

  • IPod requires hard reset after playing podcast with chapters

    I've noticed that I need to do a hard reset (hold down menu and select buttons for a few seconds) after my iPod goes idle after playing a podcast with chapters (the Ricky Gervais show).
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Can reproduce the problem on a 20GB 4G and 6GB mini
    with another podcast series with chapters
    (fortunately not many I listen to have caught up with
    chaptering).
    The odd behaviour I've noticed is that the Ricky
    Gervais podcast, for example, only has to be present
    on the iPod and never listened to for the iPod/s to
    lock up when they go to sleep. A hard reset then
    required to bring them back to life until the podcast
    has been listened to and the iPod/s then resync'ed
    with the mothership to then remove it (and restore
    some sanity until the next one).
    I did conduct a hard restart of my 10GB iPod with no success. The only workaround solution I've discovered is to use the "Convert Selection to AAC" under the Advance menu in iTunes while selecting the podcast. It converts the podcast to a new AAC file without chapters, and it plays fine on my second gen iPod. But now my library has 2 copies of each podcast, one for iTunes, one for iPod. Anyone else have any luck with the 10GB iPod? I guess it doesn't like the new podcasts with chapters.

  • N85 will not hard reset after V30 firmware update.

    I just got my new Black N85, this is my second one I also have a copper one but it is only at version 20 firmware and when I did a update to version 30 firmware, I could not do a hard reset doing the *#7370# or the three finger reset, all it did after I put in security code is reboot and go back to the home screen, no reset at all. Here we go again with Nokia and their messing with the people that make them the million's that they have. I am getting so SICK of Nokia and their Garbage!!!!

    i think you are genuinely confused as to what a hard reset is, Grschinon is indeed correct. i am sure that you can perform this on your phone so try this:
    with the phone turned off, press and hold the green call key, * key and the 3 key all at the same time. while holding all of these down, press and hold the power button down until the Nokia hands logo is displayed on the phone. there should now be the country selection/date and time selection screen displayed. if that does not work, then instead of pressing the 3 key, substitute this for the multimedia key (small silver key). if those still do not work, then your best bet is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at.
    please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us   
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • E7 Hard reset after effects

    Hi,
    I installed Anti Virus software "NetQin" and after installation I restart my mobile phone but it could not restart and displayed a message "Cannot restart, contact retailer". After many tries when I failed to restart my phone (E7 : OS-Belle), I did hard reset. After hard reset I lost Photo and Video editors, ovi store client etc. I reinstalled the softrware 3-4 times but these apps are still missing. Can some one give correct way to solve this issue? 
    Solved!

    Even the Maps functioning might have been affected .. The ONLY solution is to get the Firmware flashed at Nokia Care

  • Why does airport extreme need hard reset after power outage

    Airport extreme is unresponsive after interruptions in power and requires a hard reset to get working again.  It will also freeze during heavy usage from multiple computers and then a hard reset is necessary to get it working again.  It is becoming a chore.

    The obvious answer is that if you are using firmware 7.5.2, downgrade to 7.4.2.
    Otherwise if you can simulate a power fail by pulling the plug and still have the problem then
    If you are still under warranty, take it back...

  • Do really need to soft/hard reset after updating f...

    hello..
    i just wanna know do we really need to soft/hard reset our phone after updating firmware??
    btw im using nokia 5800XM..im updating my firmware from V50 to V51
    tq..
    Buy Original..See Original..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In my experience I've found that when I don't do the reset before and after I invariably have problems. For example when I updated my N97 to the v22 firmware the auto-rotate function stopped working properly.
    I actually also remove all apps and format the mass storage prior to the firmware update which ends up taking a ridiculously long time with the reloading of my media and maps but I now realize that I'll end up having to do it anyway so I might as well do it properly the first time.
    It could just be the N97 as it's such a hunk of junk but I think it's more likely that it's an issue with the update process in S^1.

  • 5800XM - hard reset after upgrade ?

    hi all ! I just want to ask. my friends told me to hard reset my Tube and re-formated my memory card after I upgrade the firmware. is it true ? they said its a must (lot of explanation why, can't write it all). but i don't had trouble without hard reset my phone. I've had my Tube upgraded to FW21 from FW20. Anyone ?

    Your friend is over-reacting a bit.
    Basically, some people might have to do a hard reset if they have problems after the update, but most people probably won't have problems.
     I covered this in a 5800 firmware tutorial I did for AAS, I hope it's okay to link to it:
    http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/How_to_update_the_firmware_on_the_Nokia_5800_XpressMusi...
    Basically:
    1.If the OTA firmware update works without a hitch, you don't need to do anything
    2. If there's a problem after the update, try a settings reset using the code*#7780# and then lock code (which is 12345 by default)
    3. If there's still a problem, try a firmware update through the PC application (ie wipe the phone).
    4. If there's STILL a problem, contact Nokia's support services (go to nokia.com/support and select your country or region)

  • My ipod will not reset after several attempts

    I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
    P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iPhone need every time to be hard-reset after charging?

    Every time I fully charge my iPhone 6 Plus it turns off and doesn't want to turn on normally: I have to reset it every time by pressing the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button for a couple of seconds.
    Also, sometimes after leaving it in sleep mode, when I wake the iPhone I find it having restarted alone without me doing anything: it asks me to type again the PIN number of my SIM card, as if it had just been turned on.
    What can I do?
    is it a battery or a iOs issue?

    I think you need to talk to App tech. If you were sent a forced upgrade, it forces the phone to reboot when it hits 100% charge. Problem is after update and/or restore, it continues to do the reboot after you hit 100% battery capacity.
    I have 6 phones that do the same. The tech guys don't believe me or they do not want to admit they have a problem with the forced update.
    It left me stranded without my phone and the data in it while I was away. Bought a android phone for a back-up but may keep it as a main.
    It seems if you want to carry your phone now-a-days, you better carry a laptop with iTunes in case there is a issue.
    This whole thing is getting out-of-control as I spend more time servicing my phone than it spends servicing me. Which was the reason for not connecting to iTunes and updating it and then my phone every other month. So what do I get, forced update and inoperable phones.
    If you can get it connected and set again, don't let it charge to 100% again and it will be fine. Otherwise see apple.
    Who owns these phones anyway? It certainly is not me.

  • HT1414 my ipod will not reset after forgetting password

    my 15 year old forgot her password an now her ipod want do anything.It just has "ipod is disabled"

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • N85 going slow after hard reset - help

    Hello
    I did a hard reset on the phone and now everything is going really slowly, especially messaging. Any solution please? Do I download new software and how?
    thank you.
    Message Edited by mark24601 on 05-Nov-2009 02:48 PM

    Make sure there is nothing installing in the background at times after hard reset the phone tries to install some applications that was stored in the card, so wait for sometime or try installing applications on the phone removing the memory card.
    If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.
