Ipod died while restoring- now it keeps restarting itself.

I was in the middle of restoring my ipod to factory settings and it died. I now cannot get it to do anything except continually restart (only showing the apple logo and shutting down). What should I do to fix it?! I have plugged it both into the wall and into my laptop and nothing happens.
Thank you!

  • New Hard Drive today, now it keeps restarting itself Help!

    Our iMac just received a new hard drive and cable today and it has been randomly restarting itself all evening. It began with us returning to the computer and not being able to wake it up. We needed to manually power down and restart. Since then it has not gone to sleep but will randomly restart itself. It is now happening every 5 minutes.
    Does anyone know if there is some sort of setting I am missing??
    Thanks in advance.

  • Upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger, now Finder keeps restarting itself

    Okay I just upgraded only because I needed to upgrade applications that require me to use Tiger. Now that I am done upgrading everything seems to work okay, except every 1-2 minutes the finder keeps flipping out, like it's force-quiting itself, and if I'm working in a program, even as I am typing this, the finder refreshes itself and opens a window that I had already closed.
    Why is this happening - please help, it's driving me crazy!

    First, check your third-party contextual menu items. If you have any incompatible CMMs they can cause the problem. Remove them or replace them with ones that are universal binaries and compatible with Tiger.
    Download a utility such as TinkerTool System and use it to clear user, system, and font caches.

  • My iPod keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! Whats going on?!

    My iPod Classic 5th generation 30GB keeps restarting itself when I choose a song! I recently restored it (which helped with another problem), and I put all of my songs back onto it, but then when I went to go play a song, it just restarted itself! So I tried again, and it just did it again. No matter what song I choose, it will restart itself. So I went onto the support site and it told me to try toggling the hold switch a few times and then hold the menu and center buttons together to restart it. I did this and I thought it was going to work (I got it to play 3 songs!!), but then again...it restarts itself. I have to repeat this everytime I want to listen to a song, and even then it's not guaranteed to work. Needless to say, I'm getting a little frustrated! Any solutions?! PLEASE HELP!!! I need my music

    If the device's database is stored somewhere that cannot be reliably read back then it appears as an empty device.

  • HT1339 My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message.

    My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message. that says "The iPod '_____' cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application." How do I fix this?
    The only thing that's open is my itunes, so i don't see how anything on my iPod can be in use by another application.
    It also does this when I try to eject it, so I end up having to just unplug it instead of ejecting it, which I know is not good.
    And if it matters, sometimes I plug in my iPod and it doesn't register on either the iPod or in iTunes that my iPod is plugged in, so sometimes I have to re-plug it in. And my iPod these days will continue to say that it's syncing even though iTunes will say it's finished.
    Please help me!

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable
    - 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.

  • N97 keeps restarting itself and turning itself off...

    Hi everyone,
    A few months ago I bought an N97 from England and I have some very annoying bugs and a few questions I’d like to ask.
    First of all, the phone keeps restarting itself (it is now up to 5 times a day if not more!!!), and at night it even turns itself off (I mean I wake up in the morning and the phone is off).
    The other bug is that I cannot exit applications through the “open apps” menu (which is accessed by long-pressing the menu button). When I try to exit an application through there the phone crashes.
    I did hard reset, soft reset, formatted E drive (each of those several times btw) and none of this helped. I took it to the nokia care center (the only one in Israel BTW!) and they said that they’ve never heard of those problems and it shouldn’t happen, so they reinstalled my firmware. After that didn’t work, I came back to them and they tried reinstalling the firmware again (they thought something maybe went wrong last time) and that didn’t work either. So I gave them my phone and they had it for 2 weeks during which they tried solving the problem themselves (not sure If that’s true) and after they failed, they sent it to the nokia factory\manufacturer lab in Israel (or at least that’s what they told me). In the first few days everything seemed ok and the phone did not restart itself (that menu bug was still happening) but after less than a week the phone restarted itself again. So I called them and they said it’s probably a bug in the V20 software and they reported it to nokia head quarters in Finland (yeah right…). Anyways… the “restarting itself” bug frequency was decreased substantially for a while, but now it’s back to restarting itself several times a day and turning itself completely off at night (it even happened to me during the day once or twice already-which never happened before).
    I’ve read that hundreds (if not thousands) of other N97 owners have those problems too but I couldn’t find a solution. Anyone have any ideas???
    Now… during my search in different forums I searched the one in the nokia Israel website and I accidently came across a replay that said that the “exit an app through the open app menu” bug only happens when the phone language is set to Hebrew! And guess what?! HES RIGHT! I changed the language of my phone to English and I have successfully exited the music player through the “open app” menu without the phone crashing! WHAT THE FU** IS GOING ON?! As I said, I’ve came across many other users who have this bug and they obviously don’t have Hebrew on their phone. How does that make any sense?!. Although I have no problem with English I’m more comfortable with my phone language being set to Hebrew since I got used to the buttons locations and now they are all “backwards” which is really annoying! (for example just now I wanted to put a call on loudspeaker but hung up because the 2 buttons have now switched sides).
    Anybody knows anything about those bugs and\or how to fix them?!
    Now… I would like to ask something:
    I’ve noticed that my C drive only has 35MB of free memory. So I went into “memory details” and I see that 12MB is taken by “SIS applications” and 25MB (!!!) is taken by “other files”. I should mention that I put all my files and install all my apps on the E drive when given the choice (only apps from ovi store don’t give you that choice).
    Is there any way I can see which applications and files (if it’s even possible for individual files) are installed on C so I can delete some of them? When I go to “phone memory” through “file manager” and I manually open all the folders there (games, images, installed files, nokia, other, sound files and all those), they are all empty. I mean I have a few files on C but they are some sort of text files and they weigh pretty much nothing… most of the folders are completely empty (some have 1 or 2 of those text files). Please help me!
    Since I’m already posting this message, anybody knows anything about V21?! Ive read about some update that’s coming out on the 28th, but when I asked nokia care about V21 they said they don’t know anything about it. Anybody has any information regarding V21?
    Thank you!

    1. Did this start shortly after you installed a particular application?
    -no. in fact, just to make sure, after the nokia people re-installed my firmware (which deleted everything from the C drive) i formatted the E drive and did not install anything to see if it still happens. sure enough after 2 days, the phone restarted.
    2. Did this start after a firmware update?
    -yes. it never happened before the V20 version. (or at least i havent noticed that it happened).
    3. Have you tried reinstalling the firmware through Ovi/PC suite?
    -this is how i installed it the first time. altough everyone says its bad and you shouldnt do it and you should go to the nokia center and they will do it for you.
    about this... i dont understand why nokia is giving us a tool to update our software for free... but then say "you shouldnt use that tool. go to your nokia care center and they will do it for you" which wastes valuable time and money (not surprisngly... my warrenty doesnt apply in Israel so i have to pay for that kind of stuff). nokia is the biggest cellphone company in the WORLD! why cant they give an international warrenty?!
    *any idea why the "exit an app through open app menu" bug is only happening when the phone language is set to hebrew?! i mean thats very bizzare...
    *so the update on the 28th is not the full V21 i understand...? will it atleast fix the self restarting and self turning off problem?! i mean i can handle not exiting an app through the menu (unless an app gets stuck and then its just annoying because you cant close it). but i cannot have a phone which turns itself off and restarts itself... that is just ridiculous.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.

    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Ipad mini, keeps restarting itself

    Ever since I updated my ipad to ios 7.0.6 it keeps restarting itself throughout the day, It switches off and then the apple logo appears but then it goes off again and the apple logo comes back on, it can do this four or five times before it comes back on properly. I got it for Christmas 2012 and it's worked fine I"ve had no problems with it up till now.

    Hello there, mummyshipmunk.
    You may want to try restoring your iPad to see if it will resolve this issue. The following Knowledge Base article outlines that procedure, and it can be found right here:

  • Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed

    Dear all.
    I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
    For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
    I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
    Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
    However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available  updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
    Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
    I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately yes.   Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would.  Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board.    If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do)  and you could try to do a fresh install,  but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.

  • Itunes 10.5.0.142 keeps restarting itself on Windows 7, how can I turn this off?

    All of a sudden, itunes 10.5.0.142 keeps restarting itself on Windows 7.  I did not change any configuration settings on Windows.  How can I disable this?
    Thanks

    I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

  • An oc4j instance keeps restarting itself.

    Hi there,
    We have a issue that an oc4j instance is keeping restarting itself. It will stop, start, and as soon as it's started, it will stop again like an infinite loop.
    Is there any one experienced this and please share some insight about this problem.
    Thanks,
    Xingsheng

    Hi lara7705,
    I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the new device. Try to press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times. This is equal to taking the battery out. No data/settings lost
    Observe if this happens when some particular application is open. If you notice a pattern, delete this application and see it makes a difference.
    First of all please make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data lost but settings will be restored to factory state. 
    You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
    If it's still the same, type in *#7370# followed by lock code. This is hard reset, phone memory will be wiped so make sure you have the backup. Restore the back up. If not all applications are restored, please re-download them from Nokia Store > My Stuff.
    Hope the phone starts working normally.
