IPod found once, but never again.

Yesterday I purchased my first iPod, one of the new 4th gen 8-gig nanos. When I got home, before installing itunes or anything, I plugged it into my computer and the computer found it. When I wanted to remove it, I used the "safely disconnect hardware" tool in the windows toolbar, and now the iPod is no longer recognized when I plug it in. I installed itunes, tried the Five R's, but to no avail. Should I call apple support or go exchange it (I purchased at Wal-Mart)?
Thank you for any advice you can give.

Hello Jnielsen,
If you have tried the 5 R's and the iPod is still not mounting in iTunes, there are several possibilities. Additional troubleshooting for most potential causes are described in this article:

Before taking it back to the reseller, if you have the option to do so, test it on another computer.

  • Installer works once, but never again

    I created an installer using PackageMaker. This package installs my app bundle and a local copy of postgres 9.1.
    I also created an uninstaller that runs the Postgresql un-installer script, removes my app bundle and uses pkgutil to "forget" the receipt.
    The installation on the end user machine works if the app has never been installed.
    Running the un-installer appears to remove all the necessary parts, include the .bom and .plist from the receipts db tree.
    Running the installer again ends with an error:
    PackageKit: Install Failed: PKG: pre-install scripts for "com.mycompany.myapplication.pkg"\nError Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112
    Digging through the logs I uncovered one error: psql command not found. This was in the log for the script that add roles to dbms. Interestingly, the postgres installer succeeded. pgAdmin fires up and the basic postgres schema, etc., are present.
    So why can't the installer script find psql on this second invocation?

  • ATV2 woked once, but not again.

    I have a new ATV2, HomeSharing worked the first time I turned it on, now it doesn't. I had the same problem last week before I switched to ATT U-Verse, but it's doing the same thing. Worked once, but not again. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like there's something up with the local network

  • Link to tabbed panel works once, but not again

    I have successfully linked from text in one tabbed panel to open another panel on the same page, using SpryURLUtils.js.
    <a href="?tab=2#TabbedPanels1">
    var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
    When I return to the panel containing the link, the link no longer functions. So basically, it will work once, but not twice.
    Thoughts on what's happening?

    The example that you gave is great for opening a tab in a new page.To open panels on the same page see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample.htm

  • HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

    My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

    Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer.  The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
    In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there?  Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

  • Splash screen  show only once and never again

    I have the followign line in jnlp file:
    <icon kind="shortcut" href="dtopIcon1.gif" />
    <icon kind="splash" width="550" height="300" href="splash.JPEG" />
    The images are in the root directory of the app.
    When download link is clicked on the web page, I saw the splash screen come up only once. It never shows again. Application downloads and creates an icon on desktop. The desktop icon was not showing up but started showing, I don't know how. But the splash screen never shows. Any ideas?
    Thanks for help!!!

    I would suggest you check the entire launch in JaNeLA. If fixing whatever errors it reports does not fix the problem, post your JNLP file(s) here (complete, not snippets).

  • Synced once..never again :(

    My daughters ipod (4th gen) synced once to my iMac but now fails to show up at all.No eroor codes, nothing!
    Any thoughts?
    cheers
    Mike

    Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
    4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop.  I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

  • IDVD Burns Once, But Not Again

    I think I might be adding to the whole "iDVD not burning in the last minutes after hours of waiting" theme. The trouble the last couple of days I have been having is I get the first disk to burn and everything looks good. When it asks if i want to burn a second one, I say yes and put in another DVD (Sony). Then it starts to burn and just before the end (a minute or so away) and the whole thing freezes. It ejects the disc unburned. So I am totally stumped. It has done this twice now. I will look for a cleaner, but is there another issue? Thanks everyone. - Carlyle

    Can you save your iDVD project as a disk image file?
    From within your iDVD project, go to File->Save as Disk Image
    This process looks like the burning and will take just as long for the encoding, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several advantages to saving your iDVD projects as disk image files.
    It is more efficient and less stress on iDVD to burn your DVD disks from a disk image file.
    You can save a disk image file and safely delete your iDVD project and all the media used in it since it is all encoded into the disk image file. This can save you drive space because usually a disk image file takes up less space than the project.
    A disk image file can be transferred to an external drive or another computer.
    It is a great backup for your project.
    Many people have saved only the iDVD project and deleted the iMovie used in it and have been bitterly disappointed to discover that the iDVD project is useless without its media files available. An iDVD project should be thought of as a container with references to its media that iDVD pulls into the project just for the burn, but does not keep them there. The movies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete these, iDVD will not be able to locate them.
    To create a disk image file:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6733.html
    If the file is successfully created, you can test that it is ok by clicking on the file to mount it (you don't have to do anything with the files you see) then opening DVD Player (in Applications). The project should begin playing. If the project plays correctly, then you can burn your DVD disks from it using Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) following this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2087?viewlocale=en_US
    If you are not able to create a disk image file that works, but you do already have a burned DVD-R disk that works, you can use it to create a disk image file and then use that file to burn more DVDs. See this for help with doing that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2059?viewlocale=en_US
    Other suggestions.....
    Be sure you have enough free space for the burn. At least 20GB is recommended, but more is better
    Use a recommended brand of DVD disk. Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended here. I use Verbatim DVD-R and have never had a burn issue with them. I have occasionally use Sonys and they seem ok, too.
    Burn the DVD disks at a slow speed to get a more consistent burn...usually 4x or less.
    Post back if you have more questions.

  • SF300-24 DHCP Server not responding (worked once but not again)

    Tried to get the new firmware DHCP Server option working but after turning it off and back on it doesn't seem to give any addresses anymore.
    Anyone else having troubles or success actually using the SF300 v1.4 DHCP Server?
    I even tried factory default reset but no luck.
    When I did have it working everything was good but the older Cisco Meraki would not get an IP address so I had to revert to an older DHCP server.  When I tried again today by turning the older server off and the SF300 back on, none of the Windows machines that previously would work would get an address.

  • Application should run once, but it always runs

    I have an application. All it does is run an executable that I
    specified on the Run Options, Application tab. I associated it with a
    user and checked Force Run. Everytime the user logs in, the
    executable runs. I checked Run application once, but that doesn't
    make any difference. What am I missing? I only want it to run the

  • I want to download an app, but whenever I click on it, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! What to do?

    I want to download apps, but whenever I click download, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! How do I fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT201210 ive tried all of this many times now and it went through a restore once but my iPod still said i needed to hook up to iTunes (you know the screen showing a power cord and the iTunes icon) ive tried and tried but still can't get it PLEASE HELP ASA

    I've have done all of the tips Apple has suggested and have tried many times to restore it but it still won't work.  IThe first time it went through the whole process and it seemed like it worked but it still showed the Screen that has a iPod power cord that has an arrow pointing to the iTunes thumbnail.  And now i thought well maybe it is restored i just need to sync it to Itunes but no my computer said that i encountered a problem my iPod and that i need to restore it so I tried.  And at the end of the first step, the Verifying Software step, it said that the device "iPod" could not be found, so Itried it again and again but it still came up with the same results so I'm screwed so if you can could you please help me i really need after a disabled iPod for about 2 to 3 months now.  So if you could please help i would appreciate it alot. THANK YOU.

    - Reboot the computer, try another USB port and try anohter cable.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.
