Ipod just not working period.....

I have a Ipod 120gig classic that i bought from amazon 4 months ago, i worked fine for a the 1st 2 months then one time when i was bike riding it locked up on me. I took it home & let the battery drain then plug it in to charge it & it was fine. Now just the other day for no reason it was telling me that i had 315mb left of storage when i really only had like 50gigs of music & 10gigs of video for no reaon it was saying i had like 50gigs of space used under "other." So I did everything apple recommended in their website...the 5 "R's" (Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall & Restore) and after i followed itunes directions for restoring it & now my ipod just has a blank grey sceen. All i see is that the battery is charging. I do have all the updates for itunes & ive never dropped my ipod or got it wet. Anybody have any idea whats going on or had a similar situation?

I just bought a ipod 4gb nano for my wife and ever since I have been trying to get it to be recognized by itunes. As you described above, I used the updater (2006-6-28), which recognized the ipod and performed the update. Then I ran itunes and it didn't recognize the ipod. I went to Apple's troubleshooting guide and did every single step, even reinstalling windows, after which I repeated all the reccomendations again. I then went back to the store and got them to exchange my ipod since the problem was also ocurring on the 3 computers they tried to connect the ipod to. Guess what? I happily plugged my ipod to the computer and ran the updater again. Same problem. Unfortunately I did not try using the ipod without updating the software. It's kind of hard to do this because once I connected it the software pops up and tells you to update your ipod. I guess that there is something wrong with the new software. I have searched all over the web for a fix for this problem and have not found anything yet.

  • Livetype pretty much just not working, period (unexpected error)

    So, I have livetype on my Macbook (it's an older macbook, I got it two years ago) and it's always worked, until the last few months. Now, whenever I open LiveType, everything is all black and weird looking, and I can't read any of the font in the drop down menus.
    Then, whenever I try to do something, I get this error: "An unexpected error occurred. (Subclasses not backed by a ProCommonAssetStorage must override this method). It's recommended that you quit and restart LiveType."
    I have no idea what that means, but I can't do anything in the program. Anyone know why this is?
    Thanks a million.

    I am running FCP 4.5 and am not able to open Livetype on my MacBookPro3,1. I open it and right away it quits unexpectedly. I tried to run the installer again but that did not work. I tried to trash the live type preferences but was unable to locate com.apple.LiveType.plist. I am running snow leopard. Is there anyone who has this issue? I would appreciate any help!
    Thank you,

  • HT201210 My Ipod will not work anymore its just the apple showing could you please help me restart

    My Ipod will not work anymore its just the apple showing could you please help me restart?

    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.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Downloaded Update Software now Ipod is not working - Please Help

    I downloaded Update Software onto Ipod and now Ipod is not working. It is stating "Itunes detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used in Itunes". Here's the deal I did that now the Ipod just blinks the circle with the line through it and says do not disconnect. Nothing happens. Has the new software corrupted my Ipod? Can anyone Help

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

    I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

  • IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

    My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
    BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
    Heeeelp!!!!

    I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!

  • What can I do if my ipod just stopped working?

    what can I do if my ipod just stopped working? I just purchased it on Aug 23, 2013. I was jogging with it then it just shut down and have not been able to turn it back on.

    It could be, since Apple is not liable for user negligence. However, there is no way to definitevely say yes or no on these forums. Apple will run a diagnostic on the device and draw their own conclusions. I would advise not telling them that part though. Best of luck.

  • My ipod just doesnt work.

    Ive had my ipod for a couple months now. when i bought it off this guy, it had 2536 songs on it and it worked great, no problems. i erased all of the songs and started fresh with all my songs imported from CD's. I imported a lot of CD's, listened to them, got more CD's put them on, worked great, and ive just been putting more songs on (i still only have 342) and after awhile my Ipod just quit working. heres the symptoms:
    Freezes constantly,
    Plays only a select few songs after a very long time,
    Doesn't play mostly ANY songs,
    Says track is playing, but no sound. (volume is all the way up, not on hold headphones all the way in and not broken at all),
    Some songs skip
    It used to work fine. What could be the problem?

    Hello Nick,
    If you can hear the sound and the message showing "Do not disconnect", I believe that your iPod does connect with your PC, however, due to some error, your PC does not recongize your iPod. Why we put our iPod into Disk Mode? Because we treat the iPod as an external hard disk, which often got rec ongize by the computer. It did take me several attempts i.e. plug and unplug, and reached the level that my iPod icon appeared in my computer folder. If you manage to reach this stage you can format your iPod which is equal to a HD anyway and fix up the disk problem.
    I am not good in PC, but I have few experience that the Disk Utility of my Mac failed to format my iPod, I use erase partition instead. Bingo, which allowed me to reformat the ipod and restored the latest iPod updater

  • Older ipod will not work under itunes11

    My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

    i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!
