Ipod not turning on but shows ok in device manager?

I bought my ipod from the apple store in florida about 5 months ago. I woke up this morning and went to turn it on and it wouldnt. I left it in my laptop most of the day and still no change. Its shows up in the device manager and says it is workin properly. However it also says that a USB mass storage device is not functionin properly whenever the ipod is plugged in . Any ideas?

Almost certainly your drivers for usb/firewire (whichever you're using) are screwed. Try ininstalling then reinstalling the hardware. You don't have to actually remove anything, you're just telling windows to forget hardware, then asking it to detect any hardware it didn't know about, and install it.

  • Ipad will not turn on but shows in itunes?

    I have an iPad 4S which has been working absolutely perfectly until  now.  I put it on charge after it ran out and it will not turn on now.  I have connected it to my PC and it shows up in iTunes but still won't turn on.  At one point I tried moving the lock screen switch and this made the "Padlock" icon visible but nothing else.
    Now the screen stays dark other than when I press the main start button and then I can see the Padlock icon and nothing else.
    I am on iOS 8.1.1
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • New cube laptop - not showing Maxtor external hard-drive in windows explorer, but showing up in Device manager.

    Hi
    If anyone is able to give me some advice I'd really appreciate it. I have seen similar issues on here and tried uninstalling then re-installing the driver which seemed to fix the similar issue on someone's Windows 7 system but it doesn't seem
    to have worked for me. I also tried using the usb 2 drive rather than the usb 3.
    I have a new cube laptop with Windows 8 (which I'm not used to yet at all) and am trying to access the files from the Maxtor hard-drive from my old pc. The hard-drive does not show up under file explorer but seems to appear in device manager. The
    laptop makes noises occasionally as if it is detecting some hardware but not showing it.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    Thanks in advance
    Sadie

    Hi,
    Apologize for the late reply.
    How about the situation by now?
    Could the external hard drive be shown in the
    disk management?
    Or take a look at the format of that hard drive(list disks) with diskpart command:
    A Description of the Diskpart Command-Line Utility
    Check if the format is NTFS.
    Also please take a look at the following article:
    Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
    stop unexpectedly…
    Hope this may help
    Best regards

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

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

  • I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this?  My tech skills are lacking

    I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this?  My tech skills are lacking

    I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
    Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
    Pair Headset with Phone
    Turn off headset off
    Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
    Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode.  With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
    This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone.  So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
    Reset Paired Devices List
    On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds.  A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset.  Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
    The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
    4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
    This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
    4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'.  Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected". 
    Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
    I hope this helps others!   

  • My phone will not turn on, is showing a sign of "loading", what should I do?

    My phone will not turn on, is showing a sign of "loading", what should I do? I put it to charge but will not turn , help me please !

    There are only a few things that prevent an iOS from charging When using the charger that came with the iPhone and having that plugged into a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different Apple branded or name brand cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the connection ports. Check and carefully clean with a wooden toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My blackberry curve 8520 is not turning on it shows a red light

    My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on it shows a red light flashes 2x then my keypad lights an thats it nuthing else happens please help me i havent got a usb cable so cant use blackberry desktop manager

    Hello Hasanm52,
    Welcome to the community!
    Seems OS is corrupt, so you have to arrange a USB cable to connect your devci with the pc.
    Procedure to install OS:
    1.) Download and install blackberry device software of Blackberry 8520 from www.blackberry.com.
    2.) Install it in your PC & connect your device with PC.
    3.) Access path c:\prog. files\Common files\ Reasearch in motion\ App loader\ now dowble click on loader.exe
    4.) Further procedure i very user friendly, so please follow steps (may take approx 90 mins).
    5.) In between, it will prompt you to take backup as well, so do take care while clik next or continue.
    Good luck..!!!
    Before doing above activity you may try
    By pulling out battery & connect device with charger without inserting battery & wait for 5 to 10 mins.
    Itwill prompt you a no battery sign on your handheld, once you get the sign on your handheld, insert battery without un plugging charger 7 wait for another 5 to 10 mins. Hope this will work for you....
    otherwise you have to perform the first procedure, i mentioned...
    Thanks....!!
