Ipod doesn't react

I wanted to download the new software for IPod Touch. An Error occured and ever since the IPod is showing the Apple Logo on its display and doesn't react anymore. Can't even switch it off. It's a 3rd gen IPod Touch.

Try a hard reset.

HT1414 iPod doesn't react

my ipod doesn't do anything anymore, but it still plays music and charges

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If necessary:
- 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.

I can't connect my iPod classic to iTunes, it just doesn't react when I put the USB into the PC

hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
- Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
- when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
- I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
- update iTunes
- reinstall iTunes
- restart my apple devices mobile manager
what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
plz hlp me!
- ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

Hello qz0rz213,
It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

Oh Guten Tag.
If your Home Button works, you should be able to reset - press the Home and Main button at the same time for 15 sec. Then press the main button for 2sec to have it restart.
Do what I said earlier:
I would advice you to go to the link I sent you above: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do and ask for an exception.
I don't promise that they'll change it but they may, mainly if the problem of the Home Button is going on since more than half a year (still within the one year warranty) and you just explain that you did not know that you could have changed it at the time and now it's completely dead.
If you really want to recover all your stuff and are living in the US, you should go to the nearest Genius bar and see what they can do.

IPod doesn't turn on or do anything...

I have a 3rd Gen iPod Nano that hasn't been working for awhile and I'm trying one last ditch attempt before deciding to purchase a new product. It displays the following problems:
- It doesn't turn on. It doesn't react to anything: connecting it to the computer (Mac or Windows), trying to Reset, moving the Hold switch, etc.
- iTunes gives the following error message: "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes."
- There is a "More Information" button on said error message, it takes me to this page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/updaterestore/?error=1478 This is a support page for iPhones and iPod Touch, a product which I don't have.
- I have tried some of the solutions on this page: I have the latest version of iTunes, connecting it on a different computer (I can't recall what the computer said though), opening the ports to the Apple servers.
Is this iPod gone for good or has anyone ever encountered this issue?

Grawr!! Mines acting up the same way!! Who ever can help me I will bow before their feet. I miss my music, and I can't get a new I-pod because the warranty expired and I got it from a friend for my birthday.

Apple logo comes up but ipod doesn't start

When I turn on the device the Apple logo comes up but the ipod doesn't start and go to the menus it just stays with the logo. When I hold down the play/pause on the click wheel to put it to sleep a symbol of a triangle with an exclamation point in the center comes up along with "www.apple.com/support/ipod." I tried rebooting it with Menu/select but nothing happens.

Unfortunately, on a "classic" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, the most likely cause is a faulty hard drive.
You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If that works, connect it to the computer and run iTunes. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the cause is data corruption or a software issue (and the hard drive has no physical problem), the Restore should fix it.

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

My iPod doesn't sync it keeps coming up with the message "The iPod 'iPod Nano' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." What does this mean and how can I fix it.

IPod doesn't sync with iTunes at all...

I'm having trouble with my iPod is because it does not sync with the computer. I assume the iPod doesn't recognize it somehow. I've tried to manually manage music and videos but when it told me to disconnect, the box was not checked. Awhile back, I deleted some music from the MY MUSIC folder, the folder was too full of music that it deleted all of my music, (including videos). My only concern is that my iPod has stopped syncing to the computer ever since this incident occurred. If you can, please share what needs to be done in order for my iPod to sync properly and gain all the songs and videos I had added after losing EVERYTHING Thank you.

I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
Hope this helps!

HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?
