Ipod not working

my son's ipod is not playing unless it is on the docker. i sent it to ipod and just read on the status page that there was no problem. does anyone have some help. i have trid everything

Maybe you can be a more descriptive as to what's going on, what's happening and such? A little difficult trying to figure out what's wrong with it when an ipod just "doesn't work". Can you narrow down the problem at all?

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

Ipod not working with my comupter

I have been having problems with my Ipod mounting to my computer(it is an HP). nothing worked so i took it into were i bought it and they got it to work with their computer fine. my ipod updater and itune are both updated to the most recent version and i know the cord is not faulty. can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

It is possible that your power supply cannot supply enough power if you have some other usb devices like a printer connected all the time. Also, is the iPod not being recognized in iTunes or "My Computer"?

After upgrade to 4.3.3 my iphone 3gs ipod not working

Please.can someone suggest possible fixes for this problem. I have just upgraded the software on my iphone 3gs to version 4.3.3
and discovered the ipod function not working all the content is still listed but when I try to play a song it just throws me back to the main menu
after about 3 seconds. What can I do? Have searched this forum and searched online but have not come across a user with the same problem.
Any advice gratefully received.

After upgrading to the latest iTunes version (9.2.0.61), iTunes does not recognize my iPhone.
I have tried:
switching cables,
switching USB ports,
restarting computer,
repairing iTunes,
uninstalling and downloading 64-bit version then installing,
uninstalling and downloading Windows 7 version then it would not install,
verified that AMDS had started,
restarted AMDS.
I have tried all of these things at various times and in various orders. I did get iTunes to see my phone once, but because I have been working on this a few hours, I don't remember the sequence I used. I do know that when I closed and restarted iTunes it no longer recognized my phone again.
I connected my iPhone to a different computer that does have iTunes latest version, (9.2.0.61) and it was recognized. That computer is a HP Pavilion a6530f PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit version.

TS1369 iPod not working so I choose to "Restore to factory" default. It told me to plug in to outlet. This I did, but nothing happened. No matter what outlet I plug it into, the icon won't go away. Have I totally fired my iPod by following the directions?

I have an iPod Classic 60GB. It started to have problems and wouldn't sync.
I choose to restore it to factory settings.
The instructions and icon on the iPod say to plug it in to outlet with adapter but when I do, nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do at this point?
Would I be able to send it in to be fixed?
A 60GB iPod is too great to have not working!
Thanks, JoanKT

By outlet do you mean a USB port on your computer? If so does your I pod show up in iTunes? If not you will have to follow the appropriate steps for your iPod not showing up in iTunes for your particular OS. Are you using a Mac or a PC?

IPods not working since iTunes 7.2 and song upgrade

Anyone else experiencing issues since upgrading to 7.2?
My 4th gen iPod has started skipping songs -- never had any issues with this one before.
My 5th gen iPod(video) has seemingly bricked. Select+Menu reset feature doesn't have any impact. The screen flickers and then freezes.
Oddly enough, iTunes 7.2 works just fine from what I can tell. The new "Plus" songs play just fine on the computer.

I'm having the exact same problem after the iTunes 7.2 upgrade. Some songs won't copy and I get the 'cannot be copied/file format not supported' message - though all of the formats are the same. I tired restoring my iPod twice but no dice. The songs copied fine before the upgrade.
For me, it seems to be just songs that I purchased from iTunes, burned to an audio CD and then reimported as MP3s. (I've done this a few times for various reasons.) When I reload the original purchased files to my computer from backup, then try to copy those to the iPod it works. Maybe that's a clue.
Hopefully an update will fix this. It's a minor annoyance, but still...
