Ipod isn't doing anything.

I was playing on my Ipod and then I locked it and came back and now it won't do anything. It won't unlock and it won't show up in itunes. Please help I don't know what else to do.

Welcome to the discussions,
first, try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again.
If this does not help, connect in recovery mode, shown here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and restore your device.

The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

Screen is white and isn't doing anything

My computer froze so did a force shut down. The computer turned back on but the screen is just staying white and isn't doing anything. It has been doing this for over an hour now. I tried turning it off again and it won't even turn off!!! PLEASE HELP I have a ton of homework to get done!

GTX 780 Ti - CUDA selected, but GPU isn't doing anything

I know there's a bunch of posts on the 780 Ti, but I've been researching for days and I'm getting nowhere.
Disclaimer: First let me just quickly say this. I know it's not officially supported and I understand why, so please don't mention that. I'm a long time PC enthusiast and builder and I've worked in technical IT positions for 15 years. I understand liability implications of testing hardware and officially supporting something, and also the implications of using unsupported configurations (like PP maybe randomly crashing, etc). Now, with that said:
The Issue: In PP CC 2014, CUDA is available and it is selected. In fact I never had to select it. It has always been automatically selected when creating new projects. However, my cards aren't doing anything. They're idle 100% of the time.
I've read posts from users and from Adobe stating that unsupported CUDA capable cards will still work as long as the user accepts a message stating that the card isn't supported. However, I don't ever recall getting a message saying anything about my cards being unsupported. I only know about said message because it's been mentioned by Adobe and other users. I'll admit that I may have, in fact, been prompted and clicked accept, or continue, or whatever, but I'm pretty sure I would remember that. I also wouldn't have been surprised to see the 780 Ti missing from the supported cards list, which I only went looking for after learning that it wasn't using my cards.
I've messed with PP settings, NVIDIA settings, uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, older drivers, beta drivers, uninstall/reinstall PP CC 2014. I read something about deleting the CUDA file so I tried that but I think that's not supposed to be necessary anymore(?)... I'm losing my mind here.
1. I've read that exporting media "only uses the CPU and not the GPU" and I've also read "CUDA GPU acceleration will significantly reduce export times". What's the official answer on this?
2. During sped up playback and reverse playback (normal playback is fine), the CPU is pegged and the GPUs are idle. Shouldn't at least this use the GPUs?
3. I've read that not all effects will or can use CUDA. For example when applying the warp stabilizer to clips, the CPU is pegged and the GPUs are idle. Does that not use CUDA? That seems like a pretty common effect that should be able to use GPUs.
I would really appreciate an official answer as to whether the 780 Ti will work or not - completely ignoring whether it's officially supported. If the answer is "yes, it will (should) work, but something is wrong with your particular setup/configuration" I'm ok with that, but I'm hoping there's a suggestion I haven't found yet, that might help get my cards working.
Thank you very much for any input you can provide.

See the thing is, I've already read that post a dozen times. It seems to be
the de facto response to all these "CUDA isn't working" questions, haha. I
know what CUDA is and how it works. My issue with that page is that it's
four years old, and the only two updates aren't dated and they're vague.
The CUDA capable effects list on that page is just outdated. I've also gone
down several rabbit holes of links starting on that page, which end on
broken links or non-CUDA-related content.
With all that said, that page does specifically mention cropping, scaling,
and exporting as GPU accelerated. In my example, I'm using the warp
stabilizer set to smooth motion - position, scale, rotation, and I'm not
using any crazy export settings, just defaults with 2-pass selected instead
of 1-pass for example.

Ipod is not doing anything

Okay so I'll tell you my situation. I just got my new iPod, it is the fifth generation 80GB. Well the day that it came in I connected it to my computer and then the iTunes came up and was talking about registering it, which I then clicked "Later" because I wasn't sure if I was going to put my iPod on the computer. While this was happening iTunes placed all the songs in the Library to my iPod. Well the next day I plug it into the computer because my other one was not up-to-date and all that has happened is my iPod won't turn on and it isn't being recognized by both my computer and iTunes. Now earlier this morning it was recognized by both so I tried restoring it but it came up with an error because of an unknown cause and now it is back to doing nothing and not even being able to turn on. I deleted my iTunes about four times and re-downloaded it about five times. I followed the five R's thing, I've used all four usb ports, and I've spent the last few hours on the computer looking for some sort of help. So can anyone help me? I'm not too sure on what kind of computer I have because I didn't buy it, but I do know that it is an eMachine, it contains a Windows XP, and the intel sticker says "celeron".

Re-read your setup manual.
Make sure your battery has sufficent charge!
Try to connect your IPOD to a secure USB port like your computer.
If your running Windows XP operating system try this in the following steps.
Note: If you dont know what Operating System your using; it may be best to seek help first with the following:
Using your Window XP program to: Do ADD/REMOVE ITunes software program.
Note: (ITunes Version 6 is not compatible with the new 5th Gen IPOD 2006-09.)
Then do Windows Update; get all the recent updates.
Download Windows ITunes Version 7.0 or higher.
Restart Computer: and run ITunes program alone.
Toggle the IPOD Hold Button On and Off.
Do IPOD Manual Reset by selecting:
Menu and Center button simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do this several times.
Re-try IPOD connection to ITunes.

Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone Not Doing Anything

I have a ton of TV Shows that I ripped from my DVDs using Handbrake and put into iTunes. When I was ripping the videos, I chose to use the Apple TV preset since that is what I am mainly using to view the episodes. However, I have found that files created with this preset are not playable on the iPhone. I tried using iTunes' "Covert for iPhone" feature, and the file looks like it is getting converted, the progress bar goes all the way and the little success sound is played, but the file is still unable to be synced to my iPhone.
Has this happened to anyone else that was able to find a solution? The only thing I can think of is to rerip all the episodes using a preset that is playable on the iPhone, but that would be a real pain since I have about 600gb of video files to rerip...

Thanks for the reply, but iTunes did not create a new file. I looked in Movies and in TV Shows, and in Music just to be careful, but there is still only one file, the one that doesn't play on my iPhone. I even looked in my iTunes Music folder for a file it may have created an just not imported, but there is nothing there either.

My brothers iPod shows it's syncing from iTunes, he isn't syncing anything though, and it won't turn off or on either. How do I fix this??

When my brother plugs in his iPod touch, it shows he's syncing from itunes. He isn't syncing anything though and we've tried charging it but it won't turn off or on.
We tried to turn it off but it wouldn't do anything. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

IPod not mounting or doing anything

I have a 30gb ipod photo with color display. The thing stopped turning on, won't mount to my mac (ibook G4), and the only thing it displays is the www.apple.com/support thing. I have only had this iPod for about 2 years and before this I had the U2 addition that gave me the 1418 error (which basically says its shot). I can't even restore this iPod any ideas?

if still cant solve the problem, have a read the following
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

IPod won't do ANYTHING, and isn't recognized by ibook

I have a brand new iPod mini. I installed the software, plugged it into my iBook G4, and the icon popped up in iTunes and everything seemed to be working...except that it said "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen and wouldn't go away...it was like that for over 6 hours. Eventually my computer went to sleep, and the cable was disconnected without being ejected properly. I tried plugging it back in and my laptop crashed. Now when i try and plug my iPod in, it makes a funny, quiet, high pitched beeping sort of noise...and the iPod isn't showing any pictures, or responding to any reset or restart methods. No pictures on the screen or anything! I've scoured the apple support website and can't find anything...and it's horribly frustrating! If anyone has any idea what to do please help me! (All my software is up to date as well)

Ok Rose, try the following instead
1. Put your iPod in Disk Mode, press "Select"+"play" keys.
2. connect your iPod with your Mac
3. Open disk utility
4. Click erase
5. Restore the ipod updater
