IPod restarts when syncing music

My iPod restarts when its in the middle of syncing music. Sometimes it just restarts and other times it says the required folder cannot be found. Can anyone help me?

Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

IPod restarts when trying to play certain songs

My ipod has been acting crazy on and off now for a long time. Usually if I let it die and sit a day before recharging it it works again, but now I am having a new problem. When I play some songs my ipod just restarts itself, and I mean restarts. The Apple logo comes up and it starts over like I had never had it on. I still have all my music and all, but it like coming out of hibernation.
I guess best put, my ipod restarts after certain songs.

IPod restarts when trying to listen to a podcast

I have been downloading the "This American Life" podcasts each week. It seems that each week when I download the latest episode, when I go to listen to it on the iPod as soon as I select it my iPod restarts. After removing and adding it back numerous times sometimes I am able to get it to play, but not always.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it?

This is a known bug, Apple's working on it. For now, there are a couple workarounds. You can turn off the EQ on your iPod, start the podcast in itunes for a second or two, and then pause it and sync your iPod, or you can convert the podcast to a different file format (the hardest option). One of these should work for you.

Ipod restarts when trying to edit photos

when i go to edit a photo my ipod restarts itself

Many users notice this bug -- it happens when trying to edit a screenshot taken on the iPod. It seems to only apply to the iPod touch, as it works on iPhone or iPad. This bug has been reported.
If that is the case, the user should submit another bug report for it again via this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

Ipod restarts when choosing nike options

Hey all,
I finally got Nike+ Sport kit to work mostly with my MBP. I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.6 (29) and Nano firmware 1.1
now when I select "Basic" in the Nike+Ipod menu my nano restarts. Every time. I can get it to track a workout by choosing distance, but all the other choices make it restart.
Anyone else haiving this problem with 1.1?

I wanted to add a "me too" post to keep the thread alive and hopefully get more visibility to it. However, I haven't yet stumbled upon a solution. I have a 3rd gen nano and a nike+ kit. I used it without a problem on basic for my first few runs. All of a sudden after a few days it did the restart when I chose basic. It seemed to do this no matter what I did short of restoring the iPod, so I did that. Everything seemed fine. However, after a couple more workouts, it did the same thing. This time I tried 'time' when basic failed, and it seemed to work fine. The next workout I chose 'distance' and while I'm set for miles, my progress was given mid-run as kilometers and my end totals were also provided in kilometers. I performed another restore and was able to complete another basic workout. Today I experienced something similar...basic caused the restart, time was blank (not even custom) and distance was blank except for custom which said I was set for a 10k although I had chose 2.5 miles. Another restore and I could complete a basic workout.
All this being said, restoring the iPod each time I want to jog is simply not a good workaround. I'll be visiting the Apple Store the next time this happens, which I have to assume at this point will be tomorrow. For what it's worth, I've always been running the 1.1 nano software.

Ipod restarts when detected by explorer or itunes

so my ipod has a sad face when it starts up
now when i boot it into disk mode,
my itunes will detect it, but only for a second, then my ipod
restarts....so what do i do?

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

What to do when my ipod restarts when I'm starting it. Help!

Hi,
I got an Ipod 5g. My home buttom is broken. It doesnt work. But thats not why im writing here.
When I'm trying to start the ipod, the apple appears, and then after maybe 10 seconds the line under the apple that appers when you uppdatets the ipod. It appears. Then i thought it would continue and finish that. But instead it restarts after like 3-4 seconds, and then it starts over again. And again, and again. I cant connect to Itunes on the computer cause the computer doesnt find anything. Does anyone knows what to do in this situation? Help please!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or
http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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 restarts when trying to play Vortex

I recently bought the game Vortex for my 5G iPod. I installed iTunes 7 and updated the firmware 1.2. I played the games about 5 times. Now when I go to play the game it starts up then about 5 seconds later it either freezes completely or restarts the iPod. Any suggestions. I'm hoping not to restore because I need my muusic at work and don't feel like putting all the songs back on it.

Figured it out. Resynced without games on then synced with them on. Seems to be working fine.

IPod Restarts When Viewing Photos (Every 1 out of 3 times)!

When I try to view my photos (mainly doing a slide show), the IPod unit will restart. One time, the unit froze and I had to perform a manual reset. I have not seen a resolution yet in the forums. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

An Update for what it is worth, and still with no resolution. It appears that I have the auto restart issue only when I view photos and I have previously configured the slide show to turn on music using my music library on the Ipod. If I view photos and it is working ok. with the music playing in the background, and then I leave photos to go listen to my normal music library, and then I come back to viewing photos again, when I start the photo slide show at this point, this is where the Apple restart occurs. I have been able to isolate this down on both my Ipod and my wife's Ipon Nanao Special Editions. Any body else having this problem? When I turn off the background music under the photo slide show preferences, I can go on with photos all I want with no auto restart. So for now, no more back ground music in my photo slide shows.

IPod restarting when on shuffle

ok, i tryed asking this question befor but i dident get any real aswers.

When i put my ipod on suffle it will shutdown and restart, sometimes its on the 1st song, sometimes its the 127th, totaly radom, is there anything i can do about this or do i need service?
(and to offset any unhelpful post, it works just dandy when its not on shuffle, and its up to date.)

What I would suggest for you to do is go to the summary tab under your ipod in itunes. Once you get to the summary tab go to the middle of the page and click the restore button. Once you restore the ipod give it a week and see if the problem continues. If the problem does continue go to your nearest apple store or call technical support.

Ipod restarts when I try to alter the volume

If I've been listening to something on the ipod for more than a few minutes and then try to alter the volume, the ipod will restart itself (screen goes black then Apple logo appears, all takes about 20 seconds which is rather annoying). Any ideas as to how to stop this happening? I have tried restoring the ipod but doesn't seem to have done the trick.

Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

IPod restarts when I play certain podcasts, help...

Ok so this doesn't happen with all podcasts, just my favorite one. And only then the ones that I haven't heard yet, the ones I have open up fine. The second I try to listen to a new one, it flips over to the screen like it's about to start playing, and then the screen goes dark and it restarts. I don't want to restore my iPod because I have stuff on there that's difficult for me to get again and I have restarted it, taken the new stuff off and then put them back in. Anyone know whats wrong or what I can do? Thanks.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your problems. I have a similar one. I subscribe to a series of podcasts and sometimes, for some episodes, the iPod will not play it: it will start to play it and may last up to a few minutes and then it just returns to the main screen like it has finished. This has happened with both "amateur" podcasts and very professional series as well.
Did you manage to find out what was causing your problem?

IPod restarts when trying to play a specific podcast

Just recently, when I try to play the ESPN Fantasy Focus podcast my iPod will reset. I have seen other posts on here talking about a problem with a specific version of the iPod software but they all seem to refer to version 1.2 and I have 1.3 installed.

My ipod is doing the same thing. It's an older iPod Video, 30gb and it's updated to version 1.3. Just recently started happening where any podcast I play resets my ipod. I've restored, hard reset, and done all the other various work arounds that i've found online, and nothing is helping.
