Ipod permanetly on hold and DND screen displayed - Help!

hooked up my iPod to my PC and then attempted to start up iTunes. After several failed attempts to start up iTunes (i.e., double-clicked several times, waited, and nothing happened), I disconnected my iPod. Only then I was able to start up iTunes. However, the "Do Not Disconnect" notification is frozen on the iPod screen. I tried to reconnect the iPod to my PC (with and without iTunes running) and the iPod screen remained frozen. The computer no longer recognised the ipod as a drive, nor in itunes. The hold icon remains permantly on even after toggling the hold switch on/off several times. Resetting the ipod does not work as the click wheel is not responsive (ipod on permanent hold)

If holding the MENU and SELECT (center) button doesn't work, you might just have to let the battery completely discharge. This will force the iPod to reset the next time you connect it to power.

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

    Try

    - 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.

    The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasnt low when it happened. It has been like this all day. What can I do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!

    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 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.

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

    Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
    Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

  • Watching Movies: iPod to TV- black and white and split screen. Help?

    I have this cable: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2994604
    As you can see, the chord colors on that cable are red, green, and white. The places where the chords go in on my DVD player are yellow, red, and white. As you can tell, they don't go up. I connected them so the audio works fine, but the movie shows up ONLY in black and white, and the screen is split right down the middle. On my iPod, the 'Video Setting' do not fix this. I also have the iPod Classic 80 GB, for reference.
    Help?

    Toggle between PAL and NTSC on video setting.

  • 10.4.9 and corrupted screen display

    I updated my 1.83Ghz MacBook Pro to 10.4.9 today, but when I wake it from sleep, the screen display is severely corrupted. I need to hit the power button, and get it to sleep/wake up again before the screen clears and the machine is usable. Anyone else notice this?

    I am experiencing the same issue on a new MacBook Pro after going to sleep.
    However, you can actually enter your log-in details (if you've set up log-in after sleep under security), and access the Finder, but the screen is still corrupted.
    However, if I close the lid, and reopen, the problem resolves itself, i.e. the screen is no longer corrupted, and I can log-in as normal, i.e. so, you don't need to power cycle.
    Previously, I tried resetting P-RAM, and that also seemed to temporarily resolve the issue, but it occurred again about a week later.
    I have a feeling it may be something to do with the "Safesleep" file being corrupted, and I have tried to disable that via Terminal using the following command (usual disclaimer about making changes via Terminal): sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    (NB. default setting is 3 if you want to turn this feature back on).
    I tried that yesterday, and the issue hasn't re-occurred yet, but will keep you posted. I suspect that isn't really the issue, because I'm not always trying to recover from the safesleep file, i.e. just normal sleep after a few minutes without any power loss.
