IPod Nani 5th Generation hangs at language selection screen

As the title states, I have 2 iPods that both 'hang' at the Language Selection Screen. Able to reset iPod and iTunes see's it but always hangs at same place. Any ideas please?
Cheers

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)

  • On my ipod touch 5th generation i cannot connect to the internet i did every step in the help section. I reset the wifi, I turned the wifi off and on and still nothing. I even tried to put it in manually but still couldnt connect

    The product i am using is a Ipod touch 5th Generation, version 8.1. On friday i had laid my ipod on my jacket which was laying on my mom truck and i went to play basketball. So when i got back it was off, at first i thought it died but the ipod was cold. It wasnt turning on i put it on the charger and it still wouldnt turn on. So i kept it on the charger all night and in the morning (saturday 10/25/14) it turned back on. So i went to the wifi to connect to my home wifi and it said no wifi is found. So i reset the network settings on my ipod and turned off the wifi box for 30 seconds then turned both back on and it still said theres no wifi. I followed every step but it still doesnt show any wifi. I tried to enter it manually but it keep saying "Could not find the network". But when i do it on my brothers phone it works. Can someone please help me get wifi back on my Ipod touch. I did all the steps but still nothing work.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • IPod touch 5th generation deleted over 2000 of my songs

    Hi. I rarely resort to forums like this to fix a problem but I can't seem to find anyone who's had the same issue.
    Today I connected my iPod touch 5th generation to my Windows 8.1 PC to sync some songs onto it. I ripped some of them from a CD, others I got from Home Sharing with my brother. I tried to sync 12 songs to my iPod. At first, it looked like 8 of them had synced correctly, not greyed out or empty bubbles. I tried to add the rest and they refused to sync. All the songs from Home Sharing refused to sync to my iPod.
    I tried something I normally try after an issue like this occurs - I select all the songs I've downloaded/ripped/gotten from homeshare and right click and select Create MP3 Version. I have my import settings as MP3 because I have other devices that also use my ripped music. I deleted the original versions after the new copies were made and moved them to recycle bin. Deleted the greyed out songs from my iPod and all the ones i'm trying to resync, and put the new versions on. It got stuck on syncing for about 20 minutes, making me late for something so I canceled the sync, ejected it, and unplugged it.
    Got into my car, plugged my iPod into the AUX cable on my stereo, and my iPod started skipping all of the songs I had put on. I tried another playlist to see if it was corrupted music files, and it does this for nearly every song on my iPod. I have a 64GB iPod touch, with over half the space still empty. 3760 songs. I put my iPod on shuffle to see if it would play anything, and it quickly skips about a hundred songs at a time, whether play or pause is selected, and won't stop till it gets to a song that decides it wants to play. I plugged it into my computer when I got back, and it tried to put 670-something songs back on my iPod, so I figure hey maybe it'll fix itself. Nope. Now when I open up my music app on my iPod it says I have 909 songs, and it won't sync new songs to it. I have tried soft resets. I take care of this iPod. Never dropped it, dented it, or anything. No damage of any kind this iPod is my baby. It is just freshly out of warranty and I also have music on here from multiple computers as we have 4 computers in my house and my old laptop which no longer functions due to a hardware error and there are some gaps between my iPod library and my iTunes library, so I haven't tried to restore it yet because I'm trying to save my music. At this point I feel a restore from backup is my best option.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

  • Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

    My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(!  All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads.  I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings.  When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music.  If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles.  I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off.  Can anyone help me please?   I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod.    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    First, don't obsess over it.  If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty.  Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My iPod is stuck on Language Selection screen

    My iPod Nano 7th generation is stuck on language selection screen. Language can be selected but "Done" button cannot be pressed.

    Sounds like a hardware malfunction with the device.  Could be the clickwheel itself or the logicboard.  Either way, you'll need to send your iPod in for service if you want to be able to use it again.

  • I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

    I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
    With each attempt I receive the message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
    I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
    Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens.  Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes.  During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
    After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
    The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

    Maybe:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
