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.

    When i go through shuffle within an artist/genre category, my ipod constantly shuts off, brings up the apple logo and comes back on? It happens a lot more recently. Please advise.

  • 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...

  • My ipod resets/crashes after updating to 6.1.1

    i need help. my ipod resets itself the hole time just after i did update it to 6.1.1

    Without knowing what yo mean by "crash" try"
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • 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.

  • IPod resetting during first charge-up.

    Hello, sorry for potentially reposting this, but I don't beleive it's been addressed.
    Just this afternoon i picked up a brand new video iPod. I installed the software, restarted my computer, and then connected the iPod to the computer. I've left the iPod connected for over an hour and a half, and since the very first minute it has been resetting itself about once a minute, and giving me the sad iPod symbol. Unfortunately, all help topics on the apple page haven't helped me out at all.
    Also, within the last few minutes, when it resets, there's a loud clicking noise. Seeing as how I haven't handled an iPod in years, I don't know if this is normal or not. Any help?

    Sounds like you have a bad hard drive. If you can't do a Restore of the software (using the iPod updater) - you need to take it to an Apple store or the place where you bought it.
    Sorry!

  • Ipod resets during sync

    I can't get a good sync with my 5g 30gb. while syncing, it will automatically reset itself. I've tried a repair with copy trans doctor and it does the same thing, so the operation will not finish.

    I am getting ready to send my classic back as well. Are you waiting for them to fix it or just getting rid of it? I had the 80g Video & loved it. I don'tknow why I was in such a rush to get this one. I am thinking of sending it back & trying to find a Video some where. As much as this one drives me nuts, I still hate to be without one.
    I guess what I am wondering is, do I hold out that they can improve the calssic or try to find a Ipod video somewhere?

  • IPod resets during video

    Whenever I watch a TV episode on my iPod 80gb (Such as Family Guy or Chappelle Show) I run into a few issues on my iPod.
    1. The episode always starts where I left off, never at the beginning.
    2. When I press the back button, which either rewinds or restarts the episode, the screen freezes for about three seconds and restarts the iPod (the apple logo comes up).
    This is incredibly frustrating because it happens every time! I cannot fast forward/rewind/or start from beginning without my iPod restarting.
    Has anyone encountered this issue, if so is there any way to fix it? Or am I basically going to have to live with it?
    -Thanks

    I have got exactly the same problem with my iPod 30GB; as soon as I can, I'll update to 1.2.1. Hope it will solve the problem, but I don't know...

  • Ipod freezes at Restoring Ipod software during ios5 update

    I have a 4g ipod touch and I tried to update it and everything went fine so i left it alone. When i came back, the bar on the ipod touch screen was full but the bar in itunes was really close to being done and it said Restoring Ipod Data, after a while i forced quit itunes and the ipod shows the connect to itunes sign. Every time i plug it back in it does the same thing and is stuck. Will this most probably be fixed after apple fixes the bugs?

    Hi,
    Still no luck with this. The latest software does not fix the problem. Can anyone help?!

  • Ipod disconnects during song transfer--HELP!!!

    while i am updating my ipod with music, it will automatically disconnect itself from my PC, and of course, the update stops. it's frustrating. does anyone think it is worth it to send the ipod in for repair? i would rather fix it on my own, and with the help of others.
    thanks to whoever might be able to help!!!

    Your computer probably has more than one USB - try a different one.
    USB, I think, has a better record on this than Firewire. Bad Firewire ports are common - wouldn't hurt for you to try a different USB before trying more complicated stuff.
    Do you get any messages when the iPod disconnects? Have you updated to the latest XP itunes and iPod updater?
    Have you restarted XP, lately? SOmetimes it helps to start fresh.

  • My iPod skips during songs and is very delayed. I did the restore option multiple times but my problem persists. Help!

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and therefore I can not download the new software. I did the restore option multiple times and my iPod still skips in the middle of songs, suddenly takes me out of a playlist, and is extrememly delayed. Anyway I could fix this?

    If you already restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.
