Ipod just keeps restarting

Ok My Ipod has only a tiny bit of battery left and when I plug it into my computer to charge it it just turns on and off over and over again and my Itunes dose not recognize it.
What should I do??
I am running windows XP

Sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
Do you have access to a wall charger?

IPod 120GB keeps restarting

Hi. I'm having problem with my 120GB iPod. It keep on restarting without getting through to the main menu. Even if I switch to disk mode and restore it on iTunes, the problem still remains. One thing I notice after restoring, my iPod will be completely blank (without any folders, including the hidden ipod_control folder). I need to manually create the folder in order to connect it with iTunes (in disk mode). I also can sync my music in disk mode but once I restart it to main mode, it just keeps restarting again. Any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance.

I have had this problem with my 160 gig classic. It will reset itself over and over and nothing else can be done while it is doing this. I just let it go until the battery runs out, then charge it by using the AC cable, not connecting to the computer. Once the battery is completely dead and it is recharged it stops.

My ipod just keeps sync it want let me do anything I try to reset it but it want let me do that either. It just keeps having the loading symbol for hours and hours. Whats wrong?

My Ipod just keeps doing the sync circle, It want stop. Tried to reset it but it keeps doing the same thing I can't even get on my ipod. Not sure what the problem is.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

My iPod just keeps skipping songs

My iPod just keeps skipping through songs and won't play anything.

It skips on my ipod directly not my computer. It would play one song then just keep skipping through and wouldn't play anymore. I figured out how to fix it though. You need to push the menu button and the circle in the middle at the same time until the apple comes onto the screen, this should reset it. It worked for mine. Thanks

IPod just keeps restoring

When I connected my iPod today, iTunes said that it had detected an iPod in recovery mode and that I needed to restore it. I did so, but afterwards it gave me the same message and said I needed to restore it again. I have done so several times and it just keeps doing it. How do I fix this?

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

If you can't get into the Rescue Mode then the player is faulty. You'll need to contact Creative Support to get it repaired, but it will be expensi've I think relati've to the worth of the player (assuming you're not under warranty).

Computer just keeps restarting

I did a software update and restarted my computer at the end, as instructed.
I get the Apple screen, then the loading bar, then the computer restarts itself.
It will keep restarting itself in the same way until the cows come home.
I tried letting it sit and cool down for a while and starting it again later.
Nothing. Same thing.
Any thoughts???

Well I tried resetting the PRAM and PMU (though having never done either, I'm not sure if it actually worked) I couldn't even start into Safe Mode as my machine would restart shortly after the gray screen with the Apple logo came up. I have yet to try restoring from a Time Machine backup.
I'll try your suggestion of pulling the battery and and pressing the power button a few times. And then leave my machine sitting for awhile. I'm assuming I should do all of this without the power adapter plugged in as well.
I'll also try putting my original RAM in the laptop as well, possibly the current RAM somehow went bad.
If none of this works, I'll be going by the nearest Apple Store (which is across the state) in less than month or so and have someone at the Genius Bar look at it.
As a side note, my optical drive failed awhile back but that shouldn't keep the machine from being able to boot into the OS should it?
