Ipod no longer responding

I've had my ipod for a few months now, and it has always worked with my computer. However, I just recently charged it after not using it for about 2 months, and now it is giving me an error message when I try to turn it on. After I disconnected it from my computer, it stayed in disk mode until I reset it. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it shows the little file icon with the exclamation point. If it worked before, why is it not working now? The computer that I usually plug it into is not currently hooked up to the internet either. Do I need to update my software on my computer via the internet? And why should this affect me trying to turn it on when it is not hooked up? When it is plugged into the computer, itunes will play songs that are on my ipod. Is this a software or a hardware problem? How do I fix it? I really just want it to work again so I can go running and have music!

Try charging it fully first then with it disconnected put in in "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 open the ipod updater you have THEN connect it to the PC and restore it, restoring wipes the ipod clean of everything, then you use iTUnes to load it all back on

Updating iPod touch failed, iPod no longer responds

Hello, I recently attempted to download and install the latest update for the iPod touch 4th generation. I got an error that said it had failed, which when I clicked to try and start it again resulted in nothing. The iPod is stuck ona USB to iTunes logo, yet when it is plugged in it does not appear in iTunes. I've attempted resetting by holding down the power and home buttons for 10 seconds and tried a few other things and I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas are appreciated, thank you in advance.

Not a good error.
Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

Music player no longer responds on my iPod

I have an iPod Youch 3th gen. Since I upgraded to the latest iOS 5.1 my music player (the standard Apple one) no longer responds on my iPod. I get a blank screen for a couple of seconds and then quits. Synching with iTunes appears to work fine. The songs are still on my iPod (I can find them through searching in the generic search) but when clicking on them to play them, I get the same results as described above.
All other apps work fine.
Can anyone help ?

Try:
- Unsyncing and resyncing all the music
- Reset the iPod. 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 defaults/new iPod

My ipod no longer turns on, what can i do?

My ipod no longer turns on, for a while it would randomly freeze in the middle of something, or just exit the game or music. Then it began to jump to the next song in the middle of a song, no it shows a black screen and wont turn on. i charged it, and plugged it into the computer. the computer didnt register it. what can i do? i have tried resetting it.

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes no longer responds... Please help!

Since I updated the latest version of iTunes, it no longer responds... I open it up and it'll just have an open window on the bottom of the screen. But not only does it only give me the option to close when I right click the window, after I close it says "iTunes is not responding..." My iPod seems fine it charges up and plays normally, but not iTunes since I updated it.
I tried to download it again, but it asked if I wanted to repair files or remove iTunes. I chose repair and it went according to plan, but no change. PLEASE help!

I googled on "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" and the one I posted was the top hit. There were others from the Microsoft website - it sure seems like a WIndows problem, and not necessarily an iTunes problem.
This second hit talks about re-registering the Windows Installer service.

About 7/16 of an inch of my screen for my Iphone 4 no longer responds ever since the new update

Ever since the iOS 7 update about 7/16 of an inch on my screen no longer works meaning if i where typing in safari an hit the globe button that changes the keyboard to what ever you have on your list (for example Emoji) i would end up having to back out of certain apps or have to turn my phone sideways to type key board style in order to even change the keyboard back to english that as well as all my buttons with in the 7/16 range no longer respond so if i wanted to delete an app i would need to drag it into an app folder and then move away from the 7/16 zone in order to delete it i have never had this problem until the update and although minor it is annoying. If anyone has any ideas on what is causing this to happen or a solution other then upgrading due my 2yr contract with At&t is still on going until next year.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

TS1702 all of my apps on my ipod touch dont respond or will close themselves after a short period of time. ive had my ipod touch for less than a year. what can i do to fix this problem?

Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try a restore from an earlier backup in iTunes.

And lastly, restore to factory defaults in necessary.

Shuffle no longer responding to next/previous and volume control

I have an shuffle that no longer responds to the ring control. I can start playing and stop it but I can't jump to next previous songs and I can't alter the volume. At first this was intermittent so I'm wondering if there may be some corrosion involved. I have a Gen 3 shuffle but never use it because it's harder to control and I can't use my primo Shure ear buds on it.
Can I maybe squirt some WD40 under onto the ring? It's past the one year warranty. I've already had it replaced once for dead battery.
Thanks!
Michael

Thanks, I looked at ifixit.com's teardown of this model and that's exactly right... little contacts on circuit board. What's interesting is that when I first use it I can change tracks but after a few minutes of playing the ring control stops working altogether, while the center on/off button works. It's almost as if it's temp related, maybe it warms up when in contact with my body. I'll have to test that.

IPod no longer registering in Windows or iTunes

I am registering this as a new thread as the previous two related threads are marked as answered and it is obvious from the content that they are definitely not!
I have a problem with my 30GB iPod no longer registering in Windows or in iTunes since I updated to iTunes 7.1.1.5. In my case when I plugged in my iPod not only did iTunes not recognise it but iTunes froze and my whole laptop slowed until I forced iTunes closed.
I have tried all remedies previously mentioned but no success. The 'reset all settings' mentioned in previous thead has not worked either but at least iTunes does not now freeze when I plug my iPod in.
My iPod works with my daughters laptop operating on Windows 2000. Is this therefore a problem with the new iTunes and Windows XP? I notice all the other people with problems are running XP. If so is this a bug and can Apple release a fix?
Dell Latitude Windows XP Pro with SP2

I am adding to this thread as well because I am having exactly the same problem. Sorry if it seems a bit long, but I want all to have as much info as possible.
Things started "not" happening after install of Itunes 7.1.1.5. I can no longer see my ipod in windows or itunes. It works fine for playing. It charges and everything, but it has become a big no erasable mp3 player.
I have tried just about every option on all of the threads I have read on this forum. I have spent days on this and still no progress. Forget being solved, I hven't seen any positive results yet from any of these suggestions. I know they don't all apply to the same computers but I still have tried the 5 R's., delete USB controllers and reinstall, attempted new driver, but there wasn't one. I've tried every usb port available on the machine. I've tried the reset, the disk mode, everything on these forums. I think I might be missing steps but I'm usually pretty thorough.
Did I mention, I've tried this on 2 different machines? Both had itunes 7.1.1.5 installed. I'm afraid to try any other machines, in fear of having the same happen and if it is itunes, I potentially will mess up the machine(s) for nothing.
Any help with a new soltuion would be greatly appreciated.
My last resort would be to call Apple, but from comments on the forum, it might not be helpful. And sending it back for a new one doesn't seem to make a difference after reading the forums.
So please......any new ideas? Apple please help.

IPod no longer on Desktop

Hi
apologies if this has been asked before but, my 20G colour iPod no longer appears on the desktop. It appears in iTunes and functions as normal. I have Finder preferences set to show removeable media - but the iPod is missing.
Any ideas why it might suddenly decide to do this?
Thanks

IPod no longer mounts since Leopard upgrade

My iPod no longer mounts since I upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a USB 2 port that's part of a third party PCI card I installed myself. Used to work fine before the Mac OS upgrade.
If I reboot with the iPod already plugged in, it mounts.
Help?

Forgot to mention that I had tried those:
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
-> Yep, I'm the admin
Authorize using the correct account name
-> Nothing changed- I am only authorizing my devices, and only use my account on the machine. Definitely using the right account name.
Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)
-> Did this a long, long time ago, so definitely not the issue.
Remove the SC Info folder
-> This was the only new thing that I had seen yesterday when I tried it, and went through these steps, to no avail. Still exactly the same problem. I closed iTunes, deleted the folder, rebooted and relaunched iTunes and synced the device. Same thing.
The problem is the computer IS authorized, and I can sync one device, but not the other. No problem with iPhone 4- just iPod Touch, 3rd gen. It seems to be in a weird state.
One thing would lead me to believe it's a PC/iTunes problem, but then it is only with one device and not the other. Hard to point to the root of the problem. I just don't want to lose the data on the iPod- I've done a lot of work on it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

IPod does not respond at all when plugged in

Alright, this topic is for people who have had this exact problem only. I don't want to get this confused with other problems and have people trying to help troubleshoot multiple problems and get things mixed up. Here's the problem.
After updating to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, the iPod does not respond when plugged in. The iPod still works fine when not plugged in. It plays music and both the standard and shuffle play modes work accordingly. The problem is when you plug the iPod in, it doesn't charge and it doesn't mount. The orange blinking light does not come on. While plugged in, it works the same way as it does when you're listening to music with it. It's as if the iPod's USB connector is dead. Here is my original post and description of the problem.
Alright, so here's my story. I bought my 512MB Shuffle in April. It has worked perfectly fine since I got it. Last night, I updated to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, clicked no when it asked if I wanted to restart, added some songs to the iPod, then restarted. As of this morning, I went to listen to some music while out for a bike ride, and I was greeted with the red battery light. I thought it was a bit odd since I had left it plugged in overnight. I figured, what the heck, I'll just plug it in and let it charge when I get back. When I got back, I plugged it into my PC and left for a while. I came back later and went to grab my Shuffle and I noticed it was cold, which was unusual after charging for a couple hours. I plugged it back in, a bit frustrated, and it never came up in Windows. I looked at the iPod plugged into the back of my PC (a high powered USB port) and sure enough, no orange light. No lights at all. I can still slide the switch to one of the play modes (standard play or shuffle) and play music for a couple seconds before it stops and says the battery's dead again. It works.. I mean it turns on and plays music, it's just not charging or mounting when I plug it in. I tried multiple computers and USB ports, none of which worked. I would really like some help with this considering it IS my only source of portable music and I'm not going to go pay $50 to talk to tech support or have it sent in for repairs. That's half of what it's worth.
I've tried uninstalling all iTunes/iPod related software from the PC I normally use it on and reinstalling it. That didn't work. I also tried uninstalling again and installing the last known working version of the iPod software, still no results. The only thing I havn't tried is giving it a good beating... Not that I would. Anyways, I hope there's a solution to this that doesn't involve buying a new one.
Here's a rundown of the computers I tested it with.
500MHZ G4 Cube (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
400MHZ G3 iMac (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
4.2GHZ AMD 64-Bit running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (my PC)
515MHZ Dell running Windows 2000 (256MB RAM)
UPDATE: The BIOS won't recognize the iPod, so it has nothing to do with my computer. Somehow, installing v1.1.2 of the iPod software made it so the iPod itself has USB problems. The iPod works to the extent of playing music and showing the battery charge level. I get no response at all when I plug it in, from the computer or the iPod.
I'm going to have to agree with Philip Harhay on this one. The original 10GB iPod I bought 3 years ago came with a full one-year warranty, no extra charges. I am disappointed to see the Shuffle only coming with a three-month warranty.

Help! I just purchase an iPod Shuffle for my son's birthday and I cannot get the darn thing to show up on my iMac G5. I am running OS 10.4.2 and I have downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software. When I try to restore my iPod to the factory settings it tells me to plug the iPod into the computer, but it is plugged in. I have tried different USB ports, too. I'm running out of ideas and so is the trouble shooting Apple site. I was hoping someone out there might have some ideas.
It showed up at first and I transferred a few songs from the iTunes to the iPod but I couldn't get them to play, so I plugged it back into the USB and the icon never came up.
