Ipod restarts during shows

I need some help. I got some family guy episodes into my ipod & i restarts around when i watch the episodes. My ipod does this when
- I fast forward to a scene, it doesn't restart quickly, but when i do it a second or third time & when i fast forward far.
-Once the episode ends, the ipod restarts
-When i pause the episode & i go to play a song instead.
Is this normal for an ipod or unusual.
If it matters, i got these episodes from limewire.

I am having the same issue but with podcasts. My ipod 5th gen is two days old. It only happens on some podcasts-These are all podcasts from itunes directory.
As soon as they begin to play my ipod resets.
I have removed the podcasts that seem to be causing the problem. Is this a software bug?
Just a little side note regarding the illegal file accusation.... Family guy dvds are available for purchase and although I'm not a lawyer my understanding on media is that it is not illegal to make a personal copy for yourself if you own the dvd.
So "ripping" a file from a dvd to ipod of something you own is not illegal. I agree about Limewire- as an artist it annoys me when people steal other peoples work but just accusing someone of stealing without all the facts is wrong too.

Ipod Restarts during videos

I just got a new Ipod last night. Between then and tody I loaded a couple videos on it that I downloaded from Itunes. I downloaded them just for the purpose of seeing if the Ipod would play them. All seemed ok - I got them loaded on after light troubleshooting, but when I go to play the videos from my Ipod, the Ipod will restart after about 20 seconds. The video loads fine, looks and sounds awesome, then all the sudden you get the black screen with the apple logo. I have tested this with more then one video.
Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? I really want to figure this out, as the video feature is what pushed me into buying this.
Thanks in advance!

I noticed that, while the Ipod is plugged in and ejected from Itunes, it will play an entire video with no flaws.
It is only when I am running off the battery that I have this problem. I thought maybe my battery was shot, but, after the Ipod restarts, the battery meter is still full, and I can start playing songs from there with no troubles.
So it would seem this re-starting problem only happens when I am running off the battery - but not when I am plugged into my USB.
Should I still give that Ipod Updater a shot? Or does this sound like it might be something else?

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches. I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow. Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

My ipod restarted while sofwear update .now its just showing white screen

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

30g vid ipod froze, now showing multiple icons and unable to restart

today while mowing the lawn (which i listen to music doing) my ipod froze. i dropped it on the grass earlier, and there wasn't any dirt on it but i got worried I restart it with menu+select and then the ipod/support sad face pops up. so i finish mowing the lawn, go inside and plug my ipod into my computer naturally to see if it pops up. Well, my ipod restarts itself, the support icon shows up again, and then the charging icon pops up, replacing the sadface ipod. The charging battery logo will blink a couple of times and after a minute or so it restarts again, sadface, charge, and goes the process again! The funny thing is, that there was plenty of battery life when i was listening to it!! over half for sure. I've only had my ipod for 3 months and it has a good case. only been dropped twice. i'm very upset with this and i'd appreciate some help . maybe it needs some charging but i realy need some advice.
thanks

Try keeping it plugged into your computer for awhile, I had a similar problem and it just took time to resolve. If all else fails, restore your ipod.

If you are using XP, and you went through the procedure at the bottom of the previously linked document to change the iPod's assigned drive letter, and you also tried putting it into Disk Mode...
If you have not already, try shutting down your computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub. Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected. Just to be safe, put the iPod into Disk Mode again

Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer. iTunes may prompt you about "recovery" and ask you to do a Restore. Try to do a Restore again.

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

Hi all, received my replacement ipod from apple yesterday and was feeling very wary of even attempting to use it. Got home last night and followed their instructions to the letter. Guess what.. this ipod is doing exactly the same thing, constantly disconnecting when uploading songs from itunes to the ipod. I eventually got the exclamation mark of death and tried to restore th eipod but got the firmware failure message so went back through the deinstall of itunes / quicktime / updater and installed the back level versions from my CD... exactly the same problem, firmware failure. I have an old thinkpad running win 2000 with USB 1 and was able to use this to restore the ipod (albeit slowly) but it would only allow me to restore to the latest updater. I loaded about a gig of songs onto the laptop and these downloaded to the ipod ok, albeit VERY slowly.
I think I have come to the end of the road now and will this weekend take the covers of my PC and see who makes my USB 2 ports (but I'm sure thy are all onboard to the motherboard). If thats the case then I'm off to PC world to purchase the belkin USB 2 PCI card to see if that works.... let you all know.

My iPod will not show up on my iTunes following the newest update, yet says its up to date on software?

Recently my iTunes has updated to the latest version on my PC (a Windows 7), and although ios7 is recommended, my iPod tells me that it is up to date with the 6.1.6 it is currently running. It does not show ios7 to download at all, merely says it is up to date on its software. When I try and plug the iPod in to my PC with a USB cable to sync new music to it, it doesn't even register as being there at all. No device option is in the drop-down file box nor does it show next to the music, video and etc icons. I tried restoring my iPod to the cloud and that worked just fine, tried restarting both devices and replugging in the USB, but nothing seems to be working. No matter what I've tried from the FAQ, my iPod is not showing up or registering to sync. It worked perfectly fine before iTunes updated and any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The 4G can only go to 6.1.6. It hardware does not support a higher version
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.

Dead iPod touch during 3.0 update process

Cross-posted to "iPod Touch" forum... But because another person had a similar problem with Vista as well, am posting here too in case someone can help...
...Not only during update to 3.0, but also during update to 2.2.1 and during a restore attempt 6 weeks ago. All 3 "dead" iPods have been replaced by Apple - I'd like a solution...
I have videoed the update taking place and the iPod dying during it - sadly it is in MOV format (439MB) and I cannot convert to an uploadable version for Youtube... By DEAD, I mean, no power and will not display ANYTHING on the screen. Simply won't power up again.
This is what happens: Download update using iTunes... Extracting software... Backing up iPod... Preparing the iPod for the software update... (iPod shows USB plug and CD - then apple logo...) then the updating progress line appears on iTunes and on touch. Updating iPod software... Verifying updated iPod software... Updating the iPod firmware... White progress line on iPod disappears after a few seconds and screen goes black. Error message displays on iTunes - "The iPod xxxx could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)"
iPod is now dead and needs to be replaced,
1) Has anyone experienced this?
2) Has anyone SOLVED it?
Maybe related is a problem with some videos that have happened recently (and were the cause of me trying to restore the iPod last time it died) MP4 (or MPV files) play for about 20-30 minutes, then screen goes white, then black, then apple logo appears, then iPod returns to home screen after about 30 seconds. My usual solution to this has been to remove all videos, photos (which are corrupted by this time), audio, and then re-sync back.
I'd appreciate ANY help please. I intend buying an iPhone soon and would like to know that the problem won't occur on that, every time I try to restore.
Cheers!
Martin

While updating Ipod we now have a blank screen and when connecting to itunes the ipod is not showing under devices

While updating ipod touch we now have a blank screen. I have updated itunes but am unable to sync because the ipod does not show under devices. I have tried shuttng down and restarting but only have a blank screen or ap0ple logo. Sometimes the screen shows connect to itunes but that has been it.

IPod main screen shows "No Music" even though...

My ipod main screen shows "No Music", "No Videos" "No Pictures" etc... and when I click on music, for example, it shows no bands, no nothing. BUT when I go to settings it shows I have 67.6 GB free space. meaning I have around 53 GB of files on my ipod (It's a classic 120G ipod). I've tried restarting it, and it didn't help. I think if I restore default settings I'd lose all the files. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone help? I'm desperate! They're in there somewhere.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync (from your description it is not clear you did that)
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
