Ipod nano has been in recovery process for over 11 hours

pc   Windows XP  
My ipod nano wouldnt update to my itunes, saying something like my playlists were not there anymore? Well. they are, and working as far as i know. I had it restore itself, and it said "do not connect ipod, it is in recovery mode" so i waiting a few hours, and i closed my itunes, then opened another one up. It connected my ipod, then said "ipod is in recovery mode, it cannot be used by itunes. It will come up on itune source panel when finished."
It hasnt poped up yet, and im just wondering wether to disconnect my ipod... or what is this normal? i mean 11 hours is a LONG time

  • Is submitting to iTunes down? App has been stuck in "processing" for 48 hours now.

    Processing stuck for 48 hours. Anyone else having difficulties?

    Hello, Shimmeringbanks. 
    I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device.  If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.  Test the results after processing these steps.

    If experiencing the issue with iTunes on the computer, quit iTunes and restart the computer.

  • HT2534 I keep getting "security code invalid" on a card that has been on my acct for over a year.

    I keep getting invalid security code on a card that has been on my account for months. I've been making purchases often with no problems. Now I can't even download updates. I've tried removing the card, but this also has been proving very difficult to do. Please help me. I know others have had this problem in the past, but still haven't found a resolution. Thank you apple savvy peeps!!

    Log onto iTunes on your computer, then update ur current credit card info with spaces inbetween the 4 sets of numbers then put in ur exp date and security code and all that info. im not guaranteeing this will work but it did for me.

    I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
    Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
    Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
    One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

  • Ipod nano has been washed

    My "wonderful" 12 yr old son left his ipod nano in his jeans pocket (in a leather case) and it got washed! It turns on when plugged into the pc and works normal, but when he unplugs it from the pc it turns off. Is the stupid thing salvagible or does he have to suck it up and get over spending his own hard-earned money on junk?
    ipod nano 2nd generation   Windows XP  

    Can you help me, please?
    My daughter's iPod fell in a water bowl and now it
    is frozen.She tried plugging it to the computer to
    charge it and then she pressed menu and center at
    the same time and all it does is light up the screen
    for a few seconds. Just a white screen. Then it goes
    off.
    It's out of warranty.
    Someone suggested to open it and use a hair dryer at
    low speed to dry it. We don't know how to open the
    iPod.
    Can you help?
    IF it's out of warranty it must be a 1st Gen nano.

And my ipod didnt show up. So then i went down to the right hand corner and safely removed my ipod by useing the "safely remove harware" thing. But when i looked at my ipod, it said 0 songs 0 movies etc.
    After that i plugged it back into the computer, and all the almost all space was still taken up, 96.4 MB with photos and 6.26 GB with "other" stuff.
    I know i can restore it but unfortunatly, most of my songs are not backed up on itunes. Because i have just moved and had to switch computers and i dont want to lose it all.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!! What should i do to get my songs, video etc back??

  • Satellite U505-S2970 has been installing an update for 2 hours.

    I just got my Satellite laptop yesterday and it has been working fine. Today I went to shut it down and it said it had to install updates. So I shut it down and when it got to the 13th update it just stayed there. That happened 2 hours ago and it still hasn't changed. I tried restarting it by pressing the button and it just came back to the same installing update 13 out of 29 screen again.

    Satellite U505-S2970 
    Leave it there another couple of hours.
    If it doesn't finish properly, restart it the same way. If the same thing happens or it doesn't boot normally come back here for instructions.

  • My adobe has been stuck at 35% for over a half an hour

    Has anyone else encountered this issue? Should I cancel and try again or is this normal? It jumped to 35% within the first minute then has been lingering there ever since. Any tips or is this normal?

    that's not normal.
    you could check your activity monitor (mac) or task manager (win) to look for a hanging adobe thread and terminated it.  or you could cancel the installation, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then retry installing.
