iPod not connecting?
Make sure these services are loaded:
*iPod service
*Clipbook
*Network DDE
*Network DDE DSDM
*Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Try a different USB port after that. Make sure the iPod is on, and working too.

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Ipod not working correctly

I have not used my Ipod mini in a very long time today I was trying to connect it to the computer to erase/add new songs or "sync" it....I connected it and the do not disconnect logo appears and the computer recognizes new hardware, but when I go into Itunes the icon does not show up. I downloaded the newest version and did all updates and its still not working. I tried to put the ipod into disk mode by following the instructions but it will not go into disc mode either. I went to windows media player and tried syncing it through there and it said it did successfully but then none of the songs showed up on the ipod its still showing the same old songs that were on there even though on media player it said i deleted and added the new ones. I then went to my computer to and opened the ipod file and it is showing all the changes made....old songs gone new songs added but they are still not showing up on the actual ipod.....any ideas what is going on or how to fix this??
Thanks!

Hmmmm... I'm not really sure what you're problem is. You could definitely try calling Apple's Tech Support Number (1-800-MY-APPLE) or visiting your local Apple Retail Store.

RE: ipod not working ipod ready head unit

I've had the same problems, and weirder ones, with my tC and my 5G iPod. My suggestion is to download and reload the original iPod firmware that came with the iPod. I'm not sure where you can get it online, but I made a backup of my iPod firmware that I've used while experimenting with using non-supported software, like iPod Linux. I'm going to try that later today and I'll see if that helps.
ever since i upgraded my ipod and my itunes the ipod has been acting >>weird when i connect it to my Car stereo. I have the upgraded ipod ready >>headunit for the Scion TC and when i got to browse song titles in an artist >>folder some times it won't show me the song titles but instead shows me >>the artist list again. Also if you dont have your ipod on repeat you have to >>disconnect the ipod and play any file then reconnect it to get the ipod to >>work. Please fix this Apple. Everything is so screwed now. I can't even get >>my new office eps on my ipod.

Ipod not working on my iphone

Hi after i upgraded the software on my iphone to version 2.1 and now the ipod will not work. i have tried turning off and tried a reset but nothing will get the iphone working.

Problem *** iPod not working

Lately, I had been having problems with only a select number (maybe five) of my CDs on my iPod not playing. I would select the CD and the first song to play, but my iPod would either freeze or show that the song was playing but no actual music was playing.
I figured that maybe a few music files were corrupt, so when I plugged my iPod to the computer to eliminate potentially corrupt files, it slowed iTunes on the G5 down significantly. It took at least 10 minutes to even scroll down my album list on my iPod since the (possibly) corrupt(?) files were preventing certain other files from being read. I couldn't even put new music on my iPod, which was odd since my iPod isn't even half way to its capacity.
Frustrated, I decided to wipe my iPod of all its files (corrupt or not, 3000+ songs) and reset it, hoping to start from scratch. When I did this, I got an icon on my iPod saying that it was "OK to Disconnect" from the computer and also told me somehow that my iPod was in "disk mode" when really, I have never used it as a hard drive (I have only used it for storing music).
Now, whenever I try to use my iPod, I get either the apple symbol or some odd symbol comprised of a file folder and an exclamation point. It won't even take me to the main menu.
Could anyone please help??? My iPod model was released in the summer of '03 and have only had it for two years. It is a 15GB capacity.
Thank you, but I am quite devastated. Sometimes, I feel like my iPod is my only friend.

I too am having this problem.
This morning my 20gb Ipod froze on me, but after pressing Play and Menu a few times it started to work. Now tonight it has frozen and there is no way that the playlist I was trying to play is even going to start. It's been sitting, saying it's going to play... but the song is not even moving nor is there any volume. I can't go to the Menu, change songs or even turn the Ipod off! This Ipod is driving me insane... I hope someone can help me out!

Does Ipod not work with Windows 2000 NT?

I keep getting an error when trying to install the Ipod CD... I tried downloading Itunes, but I am not sure how to get my Ipod to show up on it... any suggestions how to fix this?

No it does not work with NT. the Ipod Tunes software supplied along with the ipod is only compatible with Windows XP. But is does work with Windows 2000

Ipod not working properly after ios6 update

I recently updated my ipod touch with the ios6 update, and now most of my apps wont open, and others shut down after a few seconds including the app store and itunes! is there any way of reversing the update? or fixing it without having to go to the apple store?

If the update does not work for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. That philosophy can be applied to all updates.
If there is no pressing or emergent reason to update and your PC or notebook is running just great... don't update. (that is especially true when it comes to a BIOS update)
For your issue #2, the problem could be your wireless connection (hotspot, router or modem) that causes the dropped connection.

erico

Please Help! iPod not working!

Please someone help me out, I really need my iPod tomorrow morning and its not working. When I plug into my Mac to sync it makes this creaky sound, i think its from the hard drive then my iTunes just freezes...Please Help!

It should fix your iPod up and then you can go on using it with your Mac.

Ipod not working correctly, not frozen, nothing on it.

My ipod was connected to this ipod dock and all of the things on my ipod were completely erased, pictures, songs, everything. Since then it has been not working properly. When i try to update my ipod i wont let me. iTunes keeps giving me this message that says that i have to restore my ipod back to factory settings. I dont know how to do that. The ipod shows up on my computer desktop but not in Itunes. Also when i connect it to the computer the "do not dissconect" sign shows and does not go away.
also i was wondering does apple have an Email where I could Email them abut my ipod trouble or do i have to call the number?
what do i do? thankyou so much for taking the time to help me out.

Check out these troubleshooting guides.
Restoring your iPod.
iPod does not appear in iTunes (Mac).
If you have your iPod set to automatically transfer songs, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music. If it's set for manual transfer of songs, then you have to manually disconnect the iPod. You can just right click on it and select eject, or just drag it to the trash.
There is no email for tech support, only telephone support. Unless you have AppleCare, it's only one support issue that's free, and within the first 90 days of purchase.

Ipod not working, tried all suggestions i could find none worked

I have a 20 gb ipod that my mom got from sam's club, there is an hp thing on the back so guess that means it's and hp ipod and not a straight apple ipod which my brother says is bad, it came with a griffen itrip and a griffen powerpod car charger, that's all the background about it that i know.
so i was listening to it today and went to change the song and it didn't play so i figured i must have paused it accidentally, so i hit the play button again, and it changed songs..so then i decided to turn it of and turn it back on again, and it didn't turn back on, it started making wierd clicking noises, so i plugged it into a charger to see if that would fix it and that didn't work either, then i plugged it into my computer and it didn't show up on my computer or in itunes, so i went to this website and started looking around, i did the whole hold down select and menu for 6 second thing and the apple sign showed up, but nothing else happened so i tried to restore it, but the updater wo't regonize it, so then i downloaded the new updater, and it says that it won't mount, so then i did all the stuff i could understand on the "what to do it your ipod won't mount" page i tried forcing it into disk mode like it said to but i wouldn't go, then it just kinda went into disk mode by itself, but the updater still didn't recognize it, so then i tried downloading the new itunes and all that stuff and tried removing the itunes software from my computer, and i guess i did b/c i can't find it now... and now my ipod stopped making the noise, but it's random displaying either the apple symbol, the DO NOT DISCONNECT symbol and that folder with the exclamation point, i tried all the stuff under " folder with an exclamation point" page as well nothing has worked...
what do i do?

Hi ...
The problem is the iPod, not your Mac.
Place the iPod in recovery mode > If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If that won't work, contact Apple > iPod touch - Apple Support

Why are the Radio Adapters that work on my iPod not working with my iPhone?

I had purchased an adaptor to plug into the bottom of my iphone to play the music from my iphone of my radio. I purchased one of the adapters and it worked for a month then it stopped working and the iphone quit playing the music over the radio... However it showed that it knew a device was plugged in. I have tried 2 more models and have had the same problems. Is it the iPhone?? I am confused as to why it is not working... Below is one of the three products I tried

20GB click wheel iPod not working- or showing up on computer

My wife's late-2003 20GB click wheel is not working or appearing on either of our Mac computers (either in iTunes or Disk Utility) when attached.
It's making a rather worrying sound (as if trying to engage a hard drive maybe?) and will briefly flash the Exclamation Point/Folder icon, then say Disk Mode and a checkmark and ready to disconnect.
Since it's impossible to find the iPod Updater software how do I restore this iPod- or even just get it out of disk mode? I've tried resetting it and had it plugged into a wall outlet for a day or so to make sure it wasn't a dead battery... any thoughts?
It had been working fine (and regularly connected to the computer to update).

You could try to format the iPod in Windows. It does the same thing as restoring and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.

ITunes and iPod not working with one account

Hi
I have iTunes 9.0.1 running on 10.6.1 on a MBP and I have just bought a new 5th generation iPod Nano.
I have been trying to set up the iPod on my partner's account on my MBP. iTunes just freezes every time I plug in the iPod and needs a force quit. When I try to set it up on my account it is recognised straight away. I have also been able to set it up on a new account but I cannot find any way to stop iTunes freezing on my partner's account. Her account works perfectly otherwise.
Strangely the iPod is seen by the Mac OS on my partner's account in that I can browse it in finder and the icon appears on the desktop. It is just iTunes on this one account that does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Any thoughts?
