IPod gone crazy in pretty much, every sense.

So, I had used my iPod Classic 80GB (the 2007 or 2008 version, I think) for about a year, daily and everything was swell (most of the time). Then, last Christmas I got a brand-new iPod Touch 4G which I instantly started using so my iPod Classic got removed from the computer with it's lead and got stuck inside a drawer beside me. Now, after about 3 months, I've decided that I shall be using the old, classic for music purposes (much larger memory) and the iPod touch for everything else. The problem is that I got the iPod out of the drawer yesterday (and I hadn't even touched it since it went into the drawer at Christmas) and the OS (I guess) has gone completely mad. Initially I thought it was a problem with artwork only (I'm a perfection maniac about the song managment on my iPod, in other words, every tune has artwork, certain format, genre etc) and whenever I played a tune, the wrong artwork would come up (I could recgonise it by the name of the song that it was obviously wrong). I didn't know what to do so I checked if it's something to do with iTunes but whenever I checked the artwork in iTunes, it seemed fine (just like it should've been) so I went back to iPod and checked on the artwork again but this time I attempted to press the "Next" button and to my surrprise, the song didn't change, it just reseted (as if you had pressed the "Back" button). Now I was really convinced that my iPod is f*ed so I plugged in my headphones to see if there's any sound and it was but the odd thing is that the song matched with the artwork (remember, when I said that the song title didn't match artwork). Now I'm fairly confused as to what I should do next. I tried Reset on the actual iPod but it didn't have any effect (it reseted but didn't fix my problem).

Follow the steps in this guide to see if any help, although I think a restore would probably be your best bet. Might be worth checking for any firmware updates as well.

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

    Download the latest version from here ONLY:

    also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.

  • ITunes/iPod gone crazy

    ok, my hard drive recently crashed and i had to upload iTunes again. and since i wasn't able to back up my iTunes file, i used TouchCopy to take all the songs off my iPod and load them onto iTunes. afterwards i loaded a few more cd's into iTunes and restored my iPod to orginal settings to load everything back onto it. after syncing my iPod i scrolled through to check and make sure everything was there, but as soon as i got to the last artist on my iPod (notice: i was using the coverflow) it had a bunch of other cd's tagged on the end not in order. what's going on with this? can anyone help me? any help would be greatly appreciated

    and if helps any, i noticed that all the albums that had been tagged at the end of the coverflow that are not in alphabetical order and ones that i have updated since i loaded all my songs onto iTunes

  • Ipod gone crazy

    hi there just got a brand new 5 generation ipod and dudes is doing weired things. let me just tell you i already posses an old ipod mini for 2 years and never experienced any problems. anyhow mz ipod is basically not playing any music anzmore!! its wiered because you can still hear the sound the wheel makes and once connected to a computer you can play the songs via the computer. first i thought it might be due to the fact that i use both a pc and a mac and somehow that screwed up the software but even once i restored the ipod and just uploaded music either from pc or mac it was still happening. there was never any traumatic event to it so it should be a software problem. i mean i can still view the song titels but it just wont start playing the damm things. anzway maybe one of you guys has experienced something similar and can help me

    Welcome to Apple Discussions from a soon to be resident of your state <g>.
    Most likely explanation is a drive letter conflict -- see if doing this helps any:

    Otherwise use the firmware updater to restore and completely resync and all will be well.

  • My ipods gone crazy

    after recieving it back from apple with 'no problems' my music in itunes still wont go onto my ipod. and ive just clicked it to update and the ipod ejected itself and now theres a flashing apple logo on the screen whats going on?!

    In windows, there should be a lil baby sized green arrow next to the clock in the bottom right corner. This is windows "Safly Remove Hardware" program. Try to use it to disconnect the ipod.
    If it doesn't work and says something like "Application still using device" (Caused by antivirus and windows itself) shut down the PC, unplug the ipod, reset the ipod then turn the PC back on and plug it in

  • Why, when after upgrading Firefox my Yahoo bookmarks won't work? It happens pretty much every time there is an upgrade and it is frustrating as hell!!!

    All of the bookmarks are there if I go to bookmarks in the toolbar and click on "go to bookmarks" they are all there. Usually it is a list of folders when you click on the icon and so far refreshing the toolbar or bookmarks hasn't helped. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the toolbar so far same thing. They work fine in IE but that piece of crap keeps randomly stops working and that is why I have been using Firefox 95% of the time for my home computing.

    This is not a Firefox issue, you could try downgrading to version 18 or 17 but Yahoo needs to update their toolbar and they haven't been doing anything to solve issues regarding them except by laying the blame on us.

  • Kinect for Windows v2 for developers is out of stock pretty much everywhere. Is it still coming back?

    Hi, this is only partly related to the SDK, but I don't where else to ask:
    I'm a developer and I want to buy a Kinect for Windows v2. Yet it is out of stock in the Netherlands (where I live) and pretty much every other european country. So far I found some on the australian microsoft store, and the canedian. 
    I wonder: why is it out of stock everywhere? Is more stock coming soon or should I try to get one of the last ones in the other countries? Is there any timetable on a release of a commercial (non-developer) version, and might that be why the developer version
    is out of stock?
    edit: I just spoke to the dutch microsoft store, who said that indeed its out of stock, and is not coming back soon. I then spoke to the canadian microsoft store, who said they do not ship to other countries and I should order with my own microsoft store. So
    any info how and when I can get my hands on a Kinect for Windows v2?

    The
    Kinect for Xbox One is now sold separately. You can use this along with the
    Kinect adapter. There is no longer a reason to buy the special made Kinect for Windows when the Xbox One Kinect is the same along with the adapter is essentially the same thing.
    You can read more about it here:

    Unfortunately, the Kinect for XBox One is also Out of Stock.  Is there a timetable when more will be available?

    Yesterday when I turned on my iPad there was icon that ask do I want to upgrade IOS  well I didn't know what that was so I said yes . Well every since my iPad gas gone crazy . When I go to a send button it keeps showing the copy and paste icon over the button . Today I was sending a phone load to friend . It was a $3.85 load . But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

    What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?
    Try posting to the correct forum.

  • HT4972 2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many of the Apps now available in the App store.  Is there any way to find out which apps will work with 2nd generat

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

    This means iTunes can no longer locate the file in the location specified via the Get Info window for each individual track.  See the article for assistance.

    Jailbreaking has its consequences and voids the Apple warranry.  We can't discuss jailbreading on this Apple forum.
