IPod doesnt start
Hey
So I was updating my iPod and all that worked but @ the end on the iPod updater it said 'can't unmount iPod' and from there on my iPod will not start. Please tell me what to do. I have tried the support steps that are included online. Tried attaching it to the wall charger and restarting it...I have tried everything I know...I just don't want to sent it in for service cause i will lose all my songs. Please help me ASAP. Thanks
If you've tried restoring the software and resetting by holding the menu plus the select button and all that other stuff, I have bad news for you.
You're screwed.
This is why people are told not to store songs on an iPod. It's a music "player" not a music "storage device."
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude and if you're offended then I don't mean to be offensive. It's just that too many people think the iPod is a place to store their music. I have a best friend who does the same thing. I tried explaining this to him and he smirked. Oh well.
Sorry, my friend, but you need to send it for service if you can't get it to reboot. It happens. It happened to me. The good news is that AppleCare got it back fast.

So, my ipod will not stay on, when I take it off the charger it just goes dead. I cannot plug it into the computer and have it go on; I guess it doesn't have enough power for the battery. But, just the other day, I unplugged my ipod (went dead) plugged it back into my kitchen and now it goes on but an ITunes icon pops up and says for it to be plugged into it, but like I said it doesn't work on the computer. So, now I lost all my pictures but I was wondering how I can get them back? Or get rid of the Itune icon to actually get back on my ipod?
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 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.

Why Doesnt My 30gb Ipod Doesnt Pop Up on Itunes
my ipod doesnt pop up on itunes since yesterday i been tryin to put new songs but i cant cause it dont pop please someone help
When you connect your iPod to your computer, is it flashing the Do Not Disconnect symbol?
If it is, try the steps in the articles I posted above, if you haven't already.
If it's not...
First, try a different USB port. If you're still having the same problem, try a different USB cable.
Let us know if you're getting any error messages when you plug in the iPod.
If you're on a desktop computer, sometimes it helps to have the iPod connected directly to a USB on the BACK of the computer tower. So, if you're connecting your iPod to a USB on the monitor, or on the keyboard, or the front of the tower, try a port on the back. Also, if you're connecting the iPod through a hub, skip the hub and connect DIRECTLY to a port on the computer.
If you've done all this and it still isn't working, let's see if the iPod shows up in the Device Manager.
Click on Start, right click on My Computer, click on Manage.
In the left-hand column click on Device Manager
Does anything in there represent your iPod? Does it have a yellow triangular warning symbol on it? (Note that you may want to check under Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controllers if you don't see it).
If you're seeing something that indicates it is the iPod (you can double click on them to see more info) double click on it and choose the option to uninstall the device. Then, restart the computer with the iPod attached and let it go through the normal process of installing new hardware. Then see if you can get iTunes to recognize it.

When i connect my ipod doesnt show up or change on computer. but.........
when i connect my ipod doent show up or change on computer, but it doesnt start to charge on a wall charger
Replace the USB cable, or plugged to another USB port.
I think that's because the USB cable or the USB port on your computer doesn't work. -
my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.
Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version. Otherwise, you cannot use the apps. -
MacBook Pro doesnt start. When I start my lap top, it shows the apple and the line uploading but it only goes like to 1/3 and then it goes blank for some seconds, then it turns off by itself and turn on again and happen the same, apple logo, line .. the noise like-fan going on, then turn off and turn on again. Tried starting holding option command P and R key and didnt work either. Starting to think I have lost all my data inside
Try a SMC reset.

It might be helpful if you indicated the exact model/year of your MBP. Are you running Lion OSX?

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My mac doesnt start. All i get is the gray screen with the apple and the loading icon but nothing more happens. I tried to start it in safe mode but it doesnt help. What can i do?
If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key. If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable. If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
good luck. -
i have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?
Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3 -
