IPod keeps forgetting it's configuration
My iPod 15GB with dock connector (no click wheel) keeps forgetting it's configuration if not used for a few days.
The battery is fully charged; often the iPod is in the dock with power continuously connected.
When switching on, the iPod displays the Apple logo for about half a minute. Afterwards it comes back with the default configuration (English language, no backlight, by far too low contrast -- almost unreadable, etc.). At least the music library is kept
I'm using iTunes 6; the iPod is updated to 2.3
PC Windows XP iPod
I hope you get a reply soon this is driving me crazy. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and that seemed to fix it for a couple of days, but it's back on bad behavior now. Really, really aggravating.

I need help why does my ipod keep saying connect to itunes,I have already restored it 7 times what to do now.HELP ME!
If the restores were successful, that is completed all steps without errors then:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. . -

How to start? Ipod keeps showing USB cable icon
I passed by the apple store today and to my surprise the IPod shuffle was allready on sale. So i bought one and now I'm trying to get it to work to play around. I was able to connect it to Itunes on my windows XP machine, sync some albums and some photos onto it. But when no matter what i tried, the ipod keeps displaying an image of the USB cable with an arrow pointing to a CD. The battery is fully charged.
HOW DO I START IT?
Makes me feel real stupid, and it's either a very stupid thing i'm forgetting, or a very serious problem...
Any ideas?Sorry for stupid question, but.... did you set up your iPod Touch as instructed in the manual?
=================
Setting Up iPod touch
*Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up*
*and register iPod touch, and to create an iTunes Store account* (if you don’t already
have one).
Set up iPod touch
1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
2. Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable.
The USB port on most keyboards doesn’t provide enough power. Unless your keyboard
has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on
your computer.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music,
video, photos, and other content.
*Your computer must be connected to the Internet.*
==================== -
Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.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.

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV
Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!Is this what you are looking for: http://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?
Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)
All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

Why does my 60GB Ipod keep pausing?
Yes, I have the hold button on. I'm not moving the Ipod. It can just be sitting there, and then it pauses in the middle of the song, and I have to unpause it. This happens all the time. Furthermore, the Ipod keeps freezing when I turn it off, so that I have to reboot it almost every time I turn it on. I had an early-generation Ipod that never had a problem (except that it was stolen). What's going on?
My 30Gb does the same. Very annoying. I have different earphones from the standard "mug me" / "I'm a posey t**t" white buds and the slightest wiggle causes it to pause. This usually happens when I've just turned it on, it tends to settle down after a short while.
