  • IPod restarts itself when connecting to Windows

    I've been having this problem very often over the past few weeks when I connect my iPod it will flash twice and then restart itself. I figured maybe running the error check that windows has in the properties of the drive might work, but nothing changed. It continues to happen.
    Also (this problem was already reported, but I will reiterate the situation) the iPod will say it's connected, but iTunes shows it as not being connected. In addition, I can't eject it from Windows Explorer because it says the iPod is currently in use by another application. So I'm therefore forced to pull the plug on the iPod and then it disconnects as normal (which makes no sense, flaw?)

    I have a problem which seems to have been raised often but not solved. Have a 120gb Classic and connect to PC and laptop using Windows XP pro. Laptop works fine. When connected to PC, connection bubble appears and then computer re-sets. Uninstalled Itunes software with Revo uninstaller and again, when I connect the IPOD to a USB port, computer crashes. I can run any other peripheral through USB's without a problem.
    Guess it's a USB problem. Anyone any ideas please?

  • Ipod restarts itself automatically

    hi... i don't know what's happening. every time i shut down itunes using the close button, it restarts after about 10 seconds. to shut it down, i have to go to processes in task manager and end the process itunes.exe manually. what is wrong with it?
    also, everytime itunes starts up, the volume is at zero.
    what should i do?
    i have ipod version 6.0.4.2
    thanks in advance

    It seems like you've done all the usual things (reset, restore, recharge, etc) and I imagine the lack of response to your post means everyone is stumped. Unfortunately, I think you should return it...again.

  • IPod restarts itself on boot screen repeatedly

    I am unable to turn on my iPod nano 2gen normally. Neither is recognized if plugged in to a PC. When I hold the center and menu buttons together the apple logo appears for 5-6 seconds, then it fades out as if I have held them again. The whole thing repeats over and over again unless I press and hold the center and << buttons. The diagnostic menu appears and all tests are successful. If I enter disk mode (center button + play/pause) when my nano is connected to the PC, "OK to disconnect" appears on the screen and immediately shuts down. Then iTunes says "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time" and new device called "Apple recovery (DFU) USB driver" appears in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. I think that the problem is in the firmware, but there is no way to restore because iTunes doesn't recognize anything. Nor the 5 R's work since I can't enter (or stay) in Disk mode. Can somebody tell me how to restore the nano or I'll have to get it serviced?

  • HELP!! my ipod keeps on restarting itself!

    Hi! I don't know why my ipod restarts itself all the time! I can listen to several songs then it restarts itself! The Apple appears on the sreen then after few seconds, the main menu reappears and I have to select my playlist or my song again.
    Can you tell me why?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    I just had my MacBook die... so today when I sent to sync my ipod for the first time I was not happy to see that the software update for the ipod has apparently made my ipod "touchy". I've restarted, hard restarted, Disk Moded, Diagnostisized....everything!
    I have no answers for you guys... BUT:
    I did notice that it starts restarting continuously after it synced with video / podcasts enabled: AND that it was around 10Gb remaining. I've spent 5 hours on this today... and I'm affraid to sync it again!!! If anyone has a solution or knows how to get the previous version of the software back on it would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

    Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
    I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
    But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
    I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

    I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch keeps restarting itself then crashing.

    My iPod died a few days ago, so I plugged it in as usual. When it started charging, it restarted itself. Nothing out of the ordinary. But then it crashed.
    The first time it crashed it had gone to a blank black screen for a while, then went to a staticky white page, then shut down.
    I did not press any buttons, but it tried to restart itself again. The same thing happened.
    After a few times of doing that, it successfully got to the lock screen. Everything looked normal, so I went to plug in my password. It crashed again and started doing the same thing.
    The next time it got to the lock screen, I attempted to disable it. It worked. When I went back to putting my correct password in, it crashed again.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
    (P.S. My iPod will be 3 years old in April, so I am ready to buy a new one if it is necessary)

    When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
    The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
    The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it.  then reinstall all the apps and music and videos.  You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

  • My Ipod classic says its syncing but restarts itself after disconnect what's going on?

    I have a second generation Ipod Classic.  When i connect it to my computer to sync to Itunes it says its syncing then proceeds to go through "steps" to find which songs need to be synced; syncs them then takes forever to connect then allow me to eject.  When I correctly eject the ipod from the USB, the Ipod device basically restarts itself and does not have any of the new music on it. I have tried a force restart and it's still acting this way.  Any input before I throw in the towel and opt to buy a new device?

  • Updated my ipod touch, but it keeps restarting itself constantly

    it did this ocasionally before the new update on big programs but now it does it about 5 seconds after it restarts itself, and continuously goes through this cycle unless i shut it down in time before it restarts itself again. any ideas how to fix this?

    I have the same problem, where trying to sync my iPod will cause it to restart and I get nowhere with updating it. It's completely frusterating and I'd do anything to get it to stop, but won't restoring it delete everything? I'm not too worried about my songs because they're all saved in the cloud but I have a lot of pictures and I'm not really sure how to back them up, because whenever I try to plug in my iPod and use it through the windows explorer rather than iTunes and just manually move the photos to the hardrive, it restarts and I can't get anywhere...
    I have a 4th gen, 8g iPod and windows vista if that helps. Thanks for any feedback, it would be awesome just to get a second opinion.

  • IPod classic restarts itself after connecting

    After installation of iTunes 9 my iPod 120GB often wouldn't connect, but I think that happened to all of this iPod users. Today I plugged it in, but after showing "Connected. Eject to disconnect" for about 2 seconds, it restarted itself, showed an Apple logo for 10 seconds and disconnected. After that it connected itself again for two seconds, restarted, disconnected, connected, restarted, disconnected...
    Also: there is some of my iTunes Library on the iPod, but only podcasts can be played.
