IPOD no longer working - jusy flashing intermittantly

Hi - I am hoping someon can help as I am tearing my hair out.... I have both an IPOD Photo (40GB) and an IPOD Video and both have died on me in a matter of days...
The IPOD Photo was the first to go.. my husband said it wouldnt charge and I tried and sure enough nothing was happening when you put it into the docking station (connected to the pc through a USB).. there was a slight flickering of the screen but this stopped eventually and noting else happened so as that one is a bit older than the video I thought I would try that to see if the problem was with the docking station or the ipod photo... At first the IPOD video went on charge and I had the normal do not disconnect message.. went about my business and eventually swicthed PC off... anyweay next time I came to boot up my pc, the IPOD Video was a dead as a dod with just the flickering screen as well... I have tried charging both of them using my IMotion speakers but they are not acknowledging the machines.
I cant do what the 5R's tells me because when I put them in the docking station they are not being picked up in the list as usual (it doesnt seem to register them...)
In addition toa ll this, I have tried to go into my itunes account in the store and I cant connect to that - just keep getting an error 9808
I ran diagnostics and it told me to check the internet settings which I did and they are all as they should be so I am getting seriously stressed.....
Can someone please help.....

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?

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?

My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.

Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

The "slide to unlock" on my elderly touch ipod no longer works.

The "slide to unlock" touch slider on my elderly touch ipod no longer works. My finger can move it three-quarters of the way then it pops back to the left. With struggle, I can sometimes combine the on screen slider moved as far to the right as I can get it then tap the hardware button on the bottom. I just have to keep trying over and over. An arrow appears at the top of the ipod that, when tapped, leads into the most recent song I was listening to before I turned it off. Just removing the earphones turns it off. Otherwise, I would just leave it on. The ipod works just fine once I get past that slider bar at the start. Help!

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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my button no longer work in Flash Player 8?

Hi,
I have built a site in Flash MX a while ago. Now I’d
like to upgrade things a bit while testing the new Adobe Flash CS3.
To be able to use a new function (“anti-alias for
readability”) the program warns me that “this feature
is not supported by Flash Player 6. To use this feature, you must
target Flash player 8.”
So I change the setting to Flash Player 8, leaving
Actionscript to version 2.0.
However, now one of my main menu buttons no longer works!
When I change settings back to Flash Player 6, things are fine
again. What am I overlooking?
Below is the script for the button (which has an instance
name). Does anything change with the actionscript in CS3?
Thanks for any advise!
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
_root.Play();

That's it! It works fine again. Thanks a lot, you made my
night!

Video post processing/quality control no longer works in flash player

I use to watch videos via http://www.channel5.com and was able to use the post processing features in the AMD driver to improve the picture quality.
Now, it no longer works. Is this because hardware acceleration isn't working?
For a while I was able to use it in Internet Explorer, Sometimes in Firefox but never in Chrome. Now even with internet explorer it doesn't seem to work correctly.
I am using the latest flash versions for all platforms and the latest browser and driver version from AMD too.
Has Adobe changed something with the latest version of flash which cause a problem with the AMD Driver? Why is there no longer a Hardware Acceleration check-box in Internet Explorer?
I am using Windows 8.1 and I have the setting in the AMD CCC "apply current vdieo quality settings to internet video" checked. I have made sure in Firefox and Chrome hardware acceleration is enabled both in flash player settings and in the browser settings.
Thanks for any pointers you can give.

It may be for you, but it isn't for me in Internet Explorer, by comparison though, there is the box available in Chrome and Firefox...although in Chrome it doesn't do anything.
I did some more testing; With Internet Explorer hardware acceleration seems to be dependant on the website you watch.
For example, using IE to visit http://www.dailymotion.com the post processing options work fine, but when on http://www.channel5.com they do not. Is there any reason why this is?
As for other browsers, it seems hardware acceleration just isn't working at all since post processing never works on chrome.
On Firefox it seems to behave the same way as IE, e.g it works on some sites but not others.
I thought I may be able to get around this by disabling the pepper flash player in chrome, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, either its still using the built-in one or it still doesn't work at all with hardware acceleration.
Either way none of these achieve what I was able too before, get hardware acceleration working with http://www.channel5.com .

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

IPod No Longer Works In iHomes H5

Since I updated to the latest version of iTunes, my iPod doesn't work in my iHomes H5. I've tried three H5s, and it doesn't work in any. However, my wife's nano works fine in our H5. Also, I've taken my iPod to two different electronics stores for diagnostics, and both told me my iPod connects just fine. In fact, I tried it in several different speaker systems, and it works just fine--the only product it doesn't work with is the H5. It sounds like something in the update is blocking my iPod from working with the h5. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Just to close this out, I brought my iPod to the Apple store and confirmed that my connection and software seemed to be fine. It looks like the problem was actually with the radio. While my iPod still didn't work in the h5, it worked fine with the new h6 so I upgraded. Anyone else who is having trouble with the h5 might want to consider upgrading.

Ipod no longer works

I have the 5th Gen Ipod. It worked for about three weeks with me connecting it to my computer. It stopped connecting a few days ago. I reset, reinstalled, I even took it to the Apple store and the restored it for me. I completely had my computer system reinstalled. My ipod worked at the Apple store but will not show up anywhere on my system. I try to use the updater and it freezes on my system. I have been all though the apple web site for troubleshooting and nothing has helped. Is there ANYONE that could help me. It would be greatly appreciated.

Put your ipod in disk mode i.e. pressing "select"+"play" keys, plug it with your PC, a window will pop up and request to do a format, click ok, open the ipod updater and hope it will allow you to do the Restore.

Classic IPod no longer working

My Classic IPod had been working perfectly with Windows Vista OS and on a dock. I left it unattended for 10 days, recharged it and tried to play music on the dock. All that shows on the screen is the Apple Logo and I am unable to restart or update the IPod. Any ideas?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Control at ipod no longer works in car

This past Christmas I had an ipod adapter installed in my Hummer-3 (2006)
Everything was working fine.
With the most recent update (1.1.1), I am no longer able to control my ipod THRU THE IPOD.
I brought my car into the dealer that installed the ipod adapter, and they came to the conclusion that the software update to itunes & ipod is where the proboem is.
To fix this - I've tried going back to the older version in both itunes & ipod - but, without success. I get library version conflicts.
Please help Me !!!!!!!

Man, I'd really like to help you.
Although I never had, until now, to downgrade, I think the post below b y Sue Marsh, might help you doing it.
I’m still holding up to my 1.0.3, mainly because of my car interface, which I’m almost sure will stop working with 1.1, or 1.1.1 – call it a feeling – such are the messes created with these never-ending, never-working-properly-upgrades
Hope this will be of some help – the thread is long enough, so I cut for you what I think is the most relevant part
Good luck

Re: Classic Firmware 1.1: What's new?
Posted: Jan 29, 2008 12:17 PM in response to: dragon21
The 1.1 upgrade is usually in this folder on a Windows PC; C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. When you have found the 1.1 upgrade, follow the steps below; 1. Disconnect your iPod and close iTunes2. Remove the files for 1.1 (delete them, move them to another folder, whatever).3. Make sure you have both files for v1.0.3 in their proper location ie in the iPod software updates file (the one mentioned at the beginning of this message).4. Reopen iTunes and select Edit > Preferences. A dialogue screen headed "iTunes" will open. On the tab marked "General", click the box labelled "Check for updates automatically". (The check box should now be clear.) Click OK at the bottom of the screen to close the iTunes dialogue screen.5. Now connect your iPod.6. Click the "Restore" button7. Answer yes when asked if you want to install older firmware8. Let the update do its thingIf you find that you do not have v1.0.3 on your computer (see step 3 above), there is a website (mentioned earlier in this thread) where you can download it;http://rapidshare.com/files/73863240/1.0.3.zip.htmlI hope this helps. If not, post again for more help. Sue"
