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?

1TB Toshiba Iomega external is restarting itself during boot-up phase.

I have a 21inch iMac with a 1TB Toshiba iomega HDD for time machine and backup for other files. It's been working great for a while, but usually when i boot up now while its connected it restarts itself and keeps doing it until the imac is fully loaded or until i unplug it. it still works fine, im just worried if it gets worse i could lose it, any way i could fix it??

So i've been researching my problems since nobody here seems to be able to answer my question.
It may be the GPU. It seems like ever since I've opened my macbook pro, I've opened a pandoras box of ******* slicing razors.
I'm thinking the logic board is ******.
So now I'm guessing I'm going to have to pay a **** load to fix my computer. ****!

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.

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!!!

The panic was apparently caused by "Hamachi." I suggest you back up all data and then either update or remove the software according to the developer's instructions. Restart and see whether there's an improvement.

While updating my ipod i noticed that my ipod had froze at the end of it, i then decided to restart it. It began to restart and then the screen went white then restarted itself again and has been on this loop everytime i go to use it. How can i stop this?

Hi, when i was updating my ipod last night i had noticed it had been doing it for a while. I then realised that it had froze so i just thought to restart it. When I did this it restarted normally by having the apple icon appearing, then the screen went white for a few seconds and the ipod then turned off. Before i even touched another button the ipod restarted again and the white screen appeared again and this has been on a continuse loop everytime I touch a button on my ipod since last night. Please tell me that someone knows what to do!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

My iPod touch keeps restarting itself.

I updated my 4th gen ipod touch this morning and since then it is stuck continually restarting itself. My ipod gets to the start up screen where the apple logo shows and then it switches itself off and then turns itself back on again and this repeats until the battery dies. I charged it thinking once it had died it would fix its own problem, but it continued even after that. I've tried the full restart by holding the home button and lock screen, but that only stops it for a second. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix it?

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.

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.
iPhone / Touch / Shuffle (1st gen)

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!

Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after initial start up screen.

My Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after the initial start up screen.
The initial start up screen with the F2 & F12 options at the bottom appears, the screen then goes black, then a cursor appears in the top left hand corner and flashes a couple of times. Then the laptop shuts down and restarts itself and goes through the same process over and over.
This is all with the power adaptor plugged in. If unplugged, it will go through the above mentioned process and shut itself down with no restart.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Can you please give an answer to C3POs question?
Have you made some hardware upgrades in the past (RAM, HDD)?
Have you changed anything?
