Ipod keeps restarting over and over again.
i have a question and am new to the site....i've gone throught two ipod classics and both have had the same problem...after like 8 months of use they both started restarting over and over again...i let the battery die and then charged it but when i plug it in it will start up as far as the apple appearing on the screen then it will make a sound and go blank then restart over again..does anyone have any advice on what could of happend or what i an do about it...i'd rather not buy my 3rd ipod...
I had the same problem. Here is the Easy solution;
1) Hold down the middle button and the "menu" button until the screen goes black.
2) As soon as the screen goes black, keep holding the middle button, let go of the menu button and hold the "play" button.
Your ipod will reset. Just plug it up to the computer and restore!

IPod Keeps restarting over and over
So my iPod touch (4th generation) died a couple hours ago, and I plugged it in, and then it started up. It then went into like, a gray screen and died, then started over again. It's been doing that for a while now. I unplugged it for about 10 minutes and tried again, and it did it again.
Help?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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod keeps restarting, Windows and iTunes cannot recognize it
One day my iPod just started skipping through songs when it was on shuffle. I tried restarting it, but the folder with the exclamation point icon appeared. I realize that I need to restore the iPod, but when I connect the iPod to my computer, it keeps continually restarting, making it impossible for iTunes or Windows to be able to recognize the iPod. Windows seems to be trying to recognize it, but the restarting happens so quickly that it isn't working. I can put the iPod in Disk Mode, but when I plug it into my computer, it just starts restarting all over again. Is there another way to restore the iPod, without using iTunes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ipod keeps restarting over and over and over.
Well yea...just bought it off of someone...messed with it for a few minutes and decided to format it...BUT I forgot I was formatting it and disconnected it and restarted it...so yea my guess is that I screwed up the format process and now it doesnt have its boot up files or something...
Any suggestions? I am going to try syncing it with the itunes thingy and see if that works. Not sure if it will but it wont hurt to try...maybe it will reinstall the crap on it or something. BUT assuming my computer will even read it...while its restarting right now my computer isnt picking it up.I had the same problem. Here is the Easy solution;
1) Hold down the middle button and the "menu" button until the screen goes black.
2) As soon as the screen goes black, keep holding the middle button, let go of the menu button and hold the "play" button.

I'm trying to transfer my purchases but my ipod keeps restarting
When I transferred my purchases, it only transferred about 40 songs and then my ipod restarted itself. I need to figure out how to get my apps and songs on to my new computer. When i go to sync my apps, it says it will replace everything with the few apps that I have on my computer. My Ipod keeps restarting itself and will not let me transfer anything to my computer.
Hello Lori,
Does your iPod appear in iTunes? Do you have it set up to sync music from under the iPod's music tab? Perhaps this support article can be of assistance.

My Ipod keeps restarting and showing the Apple Logo over and over....
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! My Ipod keeps restarting, or turning off, I'm not sure which, but when it does that then it shows the Apple Logo, it will go to the main screen for maybe 1 second, but then it does this cycle over again. It has been doing this for a while now. It is also unresponsive, I and tried the R things but they didn't work either. I have tried plugging it up and it hasnt helped, I have no idea what to do. Oh and I havn't dropped it or anything, I have taken very good care of it. The only thing I can think of that ould be wrong with it is that my Dad had it plugged into his car radio, he says it started doing this action while it was plugged up to that, but I have no proof of that. He also plugged it into his computer, which has none of the Itunes software on it, to try to download my songs onto his computer, he says all the songs copied to his computer just fine. I plugged the Ipod into my Ihome and it froze up, when it unfroze I saw that I had all of my songs, but then it started to Turn off and show the Apple Logo. If you have any suggestions please contact me!!!!

nach 3 Wochen funktioniert es wieder-I fixed it, after 3 weeks
leider kann ich nicht sagen, an was es liegt/
sorry, but I am not able to tell you what the problem was
Da es jetzt geht, ohne dass ich an Vista etwas geändert hätte, vermute ich, dass eines der Apple Programme des Fehler verursacht.
I did not change anything with Vista but it works now. Though I think the failure occured because of one of the Apple products.
Schritt für Schritt / step by step
1. iPod auswerfen / diconnect your iPod
2. holen Sie sich alle wichtigen Windowsupdates/
update your windows
3. holen Sie sich iTunes noch einmal aber installieren Sie es nicht/
download iTunes again, but don't install it.
4. deinstalliere alle Appleprogramme
(ich nutze nur die 6 Apple Programme, die zwangsweise mit iTunes installiert werden, ob es Sinn macht auch Safari zu löschen kann ich nicht sagen,weil ich es nicht nutze,aber vielleicht sollte man alles rausschmeißen)
deinstall all Apple-software
(I use only the software wich comes together with iTunes. I don't use safari. You might deinstall it as well, if you use it on a PC)
5. Verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem PC
Ohne iTunes hörte der "Kampf" zwischen Windows und iTunes auf (logo!).
Solange der iPod davor verbunden war gab es Fehlermeldungen sowohl von iTunes als auch von Windows und der iPod flog bei beiden Systemen raus. Jetzt ließ Windows den iPod in der Liste der angeschlossenen Geräte. Ich habe ihn neu formatiert und dann ausgeworfen.
Connect your iPod.
Without iTunes the struggle between windows and iTunes was over.
As long as iTunes was installed and a iPod was connected I got a notice of a failure from iTunes and windows. both of them disconnected the iPod. Now windows kept the iPod an I was able to format it, then I disconnected it.
6. Da ich keine Zeit mehr hatte habe ich den Computer heruntergefahren und erst mehrere Stunden später wieder angemacht. (ob das spätere Hochfahren von Bedeutung ist werde ich wohl nie erfahren, ich erwähne es nur, um möglichst keinen Schritt auszulassen)
I drove down the computer and turned it on again after a few hours. (Is it necessary to wait a few hours? I don't know. I mention it only)
7. Installieren Sie iTunes / install iTunes
8. starten Sie iTunes / start iTunes
9. verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem Computer / connect your iPod with your PC
Bei mir haben die Fehlermeldungen aufgehört und ich konnte das "kaputte" Gerät wieder mit Musik, Filmen und Hörbüchern füttern.
Ich hoffe es klappt auch bei Ihnen.
In my case there were no further messages of a failure. I got music, movies and audiobooks on my daughters iPod.
Interessieren würde mich schon, warum ein System plötzlich spinnt, obwohl ich "außer" updates nichts verändert hatte.

My ipad keeps restarting over and over again and even it does not appear the home screen
my ipad keeps restarting over and over again and even it does not appear the home screen...............................how can i fix this.................
`Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I can't play youtube videos. I will play for about 12 seconds, then stop, and restart over again. I tried youtube on IE and it works there. What do you suggest I do? edit
This problem can be solved selecting manually the video resolution.

My Iphone 5 keeps restarting over and over. it wont stay on for more than a minute. how do I fix this?
Contact Apple Support or an Apple Store if you have one near you. Your battery needs to run through the diagnostic test. You can also try to put the device into Recovery mode as well and rsetore the iOS software, and set up the device as new. Follow this article on Recovery Mode:

Ipod keeps restarting on its own
I just plugged my ipod into my PC, and it just keeps restarting over and over again. The apple symbol comes up and looks good, then goes dark and restarts again. Then sometimes it gets to the menu and shows the do not disconnect logo, but then restarts immediatly. It did this all night long...hours and hours....what do I do?
Take a look at the article I provided a link to in my first post. Make sure your Hold switch is set to off, and try resetting your iPod a few more times. If your computer detects your iPod, try a restore with the latest iPod Updater (version 1.1.1). If your computer doesn't detect the iPod, try forcing it into disk mode.
If the problem persists, you may have to contact Apple. -
