Ipod dead after installing new software

Hi,
I downloaded updated software for my husband's 3g nano (last year's birthday present), so that I could install the Nike sport software (this year's birthday present!). The ipod software downloaded and installed fine, I didn't do the Nike one.
The next time he tried to turn on the ipod, there was no response at all.
The 'lock button' is not on.
Plugging it into a PC with a USB cable that works with my own ipod (same model)has no effect.
It appears to be completely dead.
It is only a couple of weeks out of warranty, bought 21/09/2007, fired up 29/09/2007 or later.
We have 5 ipods in the family at the last count, and mine is my third since the first one came out. We are definitely loyal customers, so I would hope that Apple might see it's way to stretching the warranty a fraction and sorting this out for us.
To whom can I appeal for help?
Regards
Angie

Wow. Thanks Mitch. When I saw the direction you were going, I thought that couldn't be the problem. But, I decided to remap the ipod anyway, and that was the problem. Thanks again

  • ITunes.  After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    iTunes.  After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

  • Troubles with Ipod after installing new software

    After installing the new software on my Ipod Mini 4GB, it won't charge, or at least, it sais it won't.
    I have a USB power adapter, and I charged my Ipod all night. This morning, I STILL got this
    http://www.sharksdiest.com/stephane/ipod.jpg ...
    I already tried to reset the Ipod several times...I tried to connect it to my PC (Windows XP), but also that didn't work, so I can't install other software.
    Does anybody thinks he/she has a solution? Should I go to the store (I already send them an e-mail several minutes ago). Or is my Ipod dead, and should I buy a new one?
    Thx for your help

  • Another volume control problem after installing new software

    I'm having a different volume control problem than the previous poster.
    When I turn my ipod touch on, the volume control stays on the screen. I can't do anything to get rid of it. When I go into settings/sounds, the control goes away on the screen, but it will not let me turn the volume up. When I try to listen to music through my headphones, I can turn the volume up but then it automatically turns itself down. The same thing happens when I try to turn the volume up from the side control. It worked fine this morning before I installed the new software and now it's acting buggy. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Macbook dead after installing new ram (1gb in each slot)

    After upgrading my MB ram to 2gb (1gb each slot) my MB would not start, no lights or action. I replaced the old ram and still nothing. I then went to a genius bar and they tested it out and even replaced the ram with ones they had and still nothing. I was then told that the logic board was dead. Has anyone had this problem? Since it is out of warranty I have to pay $280 to have them repair it which is a flat fee and they will fix it no matter what is wrong which I find is better then some rates I have seen posted online for $600 just for the logic board itself.
    My MB is the 1.83, could 2gb be too much? I have had the MB since July 2006 and recently had battery problems before I replaced the ram. Could this have fried the logic board?
    having a mac nightmare right now!

    Improperly seated RAM is fairly common... but I haven't seen many comments about inserting RAM actually damaging the logic board... but you do have to use quite a bit of force to get them in there. The good thing is the price that they are charging you for the repair... as you mentioned, I've never seen them charge that little for replacing a logic board. I wonder if that is something new.

  • Speakers don't work after installing new software

    I have a 2nd gen iPod touch. Before I downloaded the 3rd gen software, the speakers worked perfectly fine. However, basically none of my apps worked anymore and the upgrade was only $5 so I said "Hey. Might as well."
    Unfortunately, I can no longer play any music/sounds using the speakers anymore. Without any headphones plugged in, the volume adjust bar doesn't even show up. The side volume control buttons are unresponsive. I know the thing still has speakers, it just doesn't want to use them! Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
    thank you!

    I have the same problem... my sound bar works... but no sound... also video starts freezing as well as a few games... restored 8 or 9 times but it still does not work.....

  • 13" 2006 Macbook startup issues after installing new software

    Can anyone help me?! Or is this the end of my 8 year relationship with my Macbook

    Its kernel couldn't be loaded. This means that you have to reinstall Mac OS X.
    If you have the OS X DVD, insert it, hold the C key while your Mac is starting and reinstall Mac OS X. Finally, run Software Update and install the latest version

  • Poor reception after installing new software !!!!

  • After installing new software updates, my internet pages don't load

    Yesterday I was prompted to "new updates are ready to install", so I did. But now my internet pages either don't load when I click on a site, or are really slow loading. Anyone else with this problem?

    Are you using Safari? There have been some issues with Safari 5 and third-party plugins. Disable any plug-ins you may have installed and restart your Mac.

  • [VIA] KT4AV seemingly dead after installing new sound card!

    Hi all,
    I recently fitted a new sound card to my system. following this my system wouldn't start - it wouldn't even get past POST (i'm getting the 4 red LEDs on the D-Bracket for "cpu incorrectly installed or damaged"). I've takenb the card out again, and no change. i've removed and reseated the CPU, and no change. I've even changed the CPU for another that i know is working fine, and (you guessed it) no change. I've also tried resetting/clearing the CMOS (nothing).
    The main thing i should stress is that my system was 100% fine before this. never locked, rebooted or crashed.
    My system is:
    KT4AV mobo
    Athlon XP 2800+ (and also a Duron 900 for testing, as above)
    2 x Crucial DDR2700 512MB sticks
    Radeon 9800 Pro (Saphire)
    Q-Tec (yes - i know!) 550W PSU
    Could the CPU socket have been damaged/burnt out or something?
    Hope someone can help, cheers
    Jon...

    the first thing i will suggest is.... try another (better) PSU. borrow one off a friend. you may find that the board powers up again

  • Problems with Java 1.5+ after installing new "Software Updates".

    I downloaded the regular 'software updates', now my macbook pro won't open Vuze, instead coming up with the message " Cannot launch "Vuze Installer". No compatible version of Java 1.5  available." Then it won't let me "Open Java Preferences". What do I do???

    This is silly. Just because you don't know Vuze doesn't mean there's no problem with this update. My friends are having the same issue, of course we are looking at possible problem from Vuze's part but we cannot really say this update has 100% nothing to do with Vuze's launch failure, can we?
    P.S. Since Vuze is not banned by law, it's still legal to use it. It's up to people if they want to use it for good or bad.
