Ipod rebooting during/after update

My 30g video iPod is rebooting during or after I attempt to update. Nothing is saving to the iPod during these updates. I have done the 5 Rs, reformatted my iPod, as something was horribly corrupt. Now I have this new problem. I am at a complete loss as to what else to do to stop this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem (the iPod kept rebooting after being ejected) and I went to the Apple store in Toronto to see if I was doing something wrong.
The girl told me to send it back again to Apple... this only after I had just got it back from Apple the same week; they aslo said there was nothing wrong even though, and that it was my computer(s), despite the fact that the behavior was exactly the same thing again on multiple computers.
It would only stop rebooting if I set it to disk mode while connected then restored the iPod (thus erasing all my files...).
I'm going to send it back again and see what they say...

Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

5g 30gig iPod not working after update, Please Help!

I have a 5th gen 30gig iPod and a yesterday I tried to update it. During the update after it shut itself off and started back up the updater froze around 20%. After about two hours of waiting I forced the updater to quit (restarted it with menu/select) and then tried to turn it back on to no avail. So right now the iPod is dead.
I've tried the whole hold menu/select to reset (even for up to a min) then I did the flip hold on and off and try again method. I also tried with the iPod plugged into my PC and my Mac. I also tried using the AC adapter. All attempts resulted in failure. Because it stopped working after the update I'm confident that it isn't the battery or that the iPod is physically damaged and that this is just a software issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and therefore have no warranty for it.

I am having the same exact problem as you, it just won't boot up. The apple logo lights up on the screen for a little while and tried to boot up, then the screen goes black, and it starts over, the ipod trying,(and failing)to boot up. This goes on like this until the battery is dead. I'll repost if I figure out how to fix this.

Ipod resets during song update

When I connect the iPod to the PC and start updating songs, the ipod reboots after a while.
Not just that, but the ipod will show something like 1gb of used space and only 50 songs (just an example, it hasn't gotten this serious.)
worst... when this happened the first time i tried restoring the ipod, and it died. updating the firmware resulted in an ipod with only manual disk mode accessible.
i've tried both frontal and back USB ports, nothing worked. any ideas ?

Quoting the following page : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330174&sd=RMVP
a. In Windows Explorer, right-click your hard-disk, and then click Properties.
b. Click the Hardware tab.
c. Click the hard disk, and then click Properties.
d. Click the Policies tab.
e. Click to clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box, and then click OK two times.
did this to the iPod and everything worked fine while transfering 500 or so files.

Files on 60GB iPod not found after updates to 1.2

Before I restore just thought I would check. My iPod is conflicted as to what is loaded. Problems occur after update of iTunes 7.0 and iPod updater 1.2.
Manually update is set. iTunes 7.0 says I have 6.0GB of Audio, 13.82GB of Video on a total capacity of 55.68GB iPod. However it also says I have 54.84GB of free space? All music and video files appear with the ! in iTunes, which means file not found.
However, all titles of the files appear on the iPod as if they were still there but just not readable? From the iPod's settings, under About, it shows I still have 1250 Audio file, 98 videos but 54.84GB of space available. If I try to play files in a playlist, it just breezes through the album art and titles like it can't read the files.
Reset, reboot and reinstall does nothing.
iPod is unusable, should I wait for another update?
Should I just restore and loose some stuff that was not backed up? (stupid on my part I know.)
Or does anyone else know of a possible trick I could try?

Applied Firmware Update 1.2.1 and it worked...
Thank you Apple for finally fixing a major problem
without ever acknowledging you had it...
or even indicating what you update fixed when you distibuted
it...
I think apple needs some lessons how to provide support...
without irritating its customer base...
All you have to do is communicate...
Respond with a message like "Known Problem" working on fix.
would do wonders... And having an apple employee update
the Discussions with an indication that you acknowledge
your user community is having a serious problem and thank them for continueing to wait for a fix..

IPod froze during ios update

I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th Generation with the new ios6 release but it froze during the update. Now all I get when I try to turn the iPod on is a blank screen. Can anyone advise me?

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.

IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

IPod function frozen after update to OS4

After updating to OS 4 on my 3G iPhone, all songs (and podcasts, etc) are present in my phone, but will not play. I select a song, it comes up as if it's going to play, the little play arrow comes up, and then I get booted back to the list of songs. I have reset, restarted and restored settings. No change. I have not yet done a complete restore from my computer, because it takes upwards of 4 hours to re-download all my music to the phone. But I will if there isn't another way. Any advice? Thanks!

IPod keeps crashing after updated with IOS 4.2 Beta

The iPod keeps crashing going back to the main screen with my iPad after updated with IOS 4.2 beta 2. Any solution? Anyone has the same issue?

You will probably get several comments from some of the developers that hang out here about moving the question to the developer's forum. Not many of those using the Betas will comment on them on here due to non-disclosure agreement with Apple.

IPod reboots itself after one particular track.

Hi,
I've tried finding the answer through Google, but had no luck.
My iPod touch reboots itself after I choose to play a particular track. It happens as soon as the track has finished playing. It's strange because it only happens if I manually select this track to be played- it doesn't happen when the iPod selects it (like when it's on shuffle). I bought the song from iTunes so I'm sure it's not corrupt and this didn't happen with my iPod nano...

"it forgets what album and track you were playing before the recharge."
If you are charging it via a computer, that's normal. You are making a connection to the computer and it will show the "do not disconnect" screen. After disconnection, it reverts to the main menu.
If you charge via the wall charger, it will 'remember' where you left off.

Trouble disconnecting Ipod from computer after updating/charging

Just bought a 5th gen and I started to have this problem. The first few times after it updated, the window on my Ipod showed the battery being/finished charged, and allowed my to disconnect. Now after updating, it just keeps showing "Do not disconnect" and will not allow me to unhook. (I have to go to USB icon on tool bar and dissconnect that way, even though it still shows do not disco on the Ipod window.)
Is there something wrong, and will I create a problem on my Ipod discoing the way I do?
Thanks
Jim

it recognizes my ipod but when i click the sync button nothing happens and my ipod is still missing the songs that i just bought from my computer
try playing one of the purchased songs for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the purchases transfer to the ipod when you sync?

IPod "disonncects" during auto update

I just purchased the new 60GB iPod to replace an older 40GB version. I connected the iPod to my computer and selected Automatically Update in iTunes to move my music onto the new iPod. At varying points in the update (I've tried this several times) my iPod will shut down and display the Apple logo. When iPod re-powers up any songs updated from iTunes are gone from the iPod. At one point it did this after updating 200 songs and another time it did this after 3000 songs. I am so frustrated. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is this a problem with the iPod or with my iTunes?
Thanks so much,
Jason
PS-I should mention that before I posted here I tried all the suggestions on the iPod support page, to no avail. I also tried 3 different USB ports and the same problem occured.

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps on this page? Going through these may help. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
Also check/change the USB port you are using in case you are losing power or connection there.

Restore fails. iPod reboots soon after restore starts

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble restoring my iPod. Basically, I right click in iTunes on my iPod and select "Restore from Backup". After that, I'm presented with a number of backups that are present in my c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ directory.
I can restore from a backup that is from January, but then I have a big gap, and have backups again starting on the 20th of April. None of the restores I do from those backups work. My iPod will claim "Restoring", and then seconds later say "Restore Complete". My iPod will reboot. Sometimes iTunes claims that the "Restore could not be compelted" and "The iPod disconnected", other times iTunes will hand until I kill the process.
I've tried creating a new restore directory by
- Copying a good restore directory (from January)
- Updating only existing files from the January restore with files from the April restore
- No luck
Any help on solving this would be greatly appreciated.

lol i understand. i did not mention jailbreak just since i am not in the states i have to use a gevey sim (Thought since this was not an AT&T forum, wouldn't b a problem). i have been through an iphone 2g, i3g , i3gs and now a 4 and an ipad 2 in the mix that APPLE could help...just gonna sell this for parts and sell the ipad 2 cause android has just gotten one more person.
