  • IPod Stuck in Recovery Mode Please help!

    Hi,
    I have a an iPod touch 2g which I turned off one day and it never turned on again. I plugged it into iTunes and it shows the iPod in the main window with the restore button and the check for update screen. Before I have a chance to press anything, a window pops up saying, iTunes ha detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore your iPod before you can use it again. When I click OK the iPod ejects so I cannot restore it. Every time it does this. Ive tried everything.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks you!

    Hi there mmimadi,
    It may seem a bit repetitive, but I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. If the issues persist, there a a few other things we can try.

  • 3rd gen iPod stuck in disk mode

    Just realised I'd posted this in the wrong forum:
    Hi,
    I've got a massive problem with my trusty old 3rd generation iPod and I'm hoping someone can help me out. This may just be a sign I should get with the times and get something a bit more up-to-date, but this iPod has served me well over the years and I'd like to see if I can fix it first.
    Basically, the iPod is well and truly stuck in disk mode. I've tried over and over again to reset in various different ways. It's nothing to do with me having to connect it to my computer via USB, either, since I've tried it with my sister's computer via FireWire and it's still not happy.
    I don't get a sad iPod picture or anything - it's just when I turn it on I get a picture of a folder with a hazard sign over it, and can't get rid of it.
    iTunes 9 isn't the problem, since it got stuck in Disk Mode before I upgraded.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do? Like I said, I've tried over and over to reset it, so please don't just suggest that.

    Sounds like you covered most of the basics and it would seem that it is indeed your iPod's controller that is the problem. Not sure what else we can add to what you have already tried, which is above and beyond what most people are capable of doing.
    When you plug it into the computer does it actually show up as an external hard drive and can you use it as one?
    Sorry,
    Patrick

  • IPod stuck in Disk Mode(Restart won't work)

    My iPod is stuck in disk mode, and no matter how many times I restart it, it stays in this. I've tried the 5R's and I've tried restarting it. Is there any other fixes?

    I know, you have tried a Restart and the 5Rs, but can you try the Hard Reset,  as below disconnected from the PC.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    Good  Luck!

  • IPod stuck in disk mode

    I have had all the same problems as everone else... ipod isn't recognized anywhere. I followed steps provided by gailpod and weemalky and though that everything had worked but when i brought up the updater it said "iPod manager internal error". My ipod seems to be stuck in disk mode and when i try to run a new version of the updater (as apple suggests) it asks if i'm sure i want to remove the program... Remove?? it was supposed to be installing. Does anyone know what is going on here?

    Make sure you toggle the hold switch on and off then reset by holding the center button and menu button for about 6-10 seconds

  • IPOD stuck on disk mode

    How do i get my ipod out of disk mode, it wont do n e thing at all, wont reset or turn off or anything and it says ok to disconnect, but nothings connected what do i do

    Zach,
    Need a little more info:
    - What OS are you using--Mac or Windows?
    - Does your nano show up in iTunes when you connect it?
    - Is your 'Hold' button showing white next to it (meaning it is off)?
    Regards,

  • 80G Classic Ipod Stuck in Reset Loop, Please Help

    Hello,
    My Ipod (80G classic) is stuck in the continuous reset loop showing only the apple logo. I have tried restoring it numerous times, to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing it, different versions also, this does not work either.
    This is very frustrating, and I am finding no help on the apple site. Any suggestions?

    I'm not clear if you've actually managed to get iTunes to restore the iPod yet. These steps should make it possible. Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until the iPod resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect the iPod to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you should be able to start iTunes and complete the restore process. I'd suggest you don't rush to put back all your music in one go. Test that the iPod works with a smaller playlist first.

  • Ipod stuck in disk mode not reconized by itunes

    my 4 gb ipod nano recently got all of my songs erased off it and i couldn't put any back on in itunes.
    i tried the 5 r's (did nothing) and after d/c then hooked it back into itunes, itunes didn't reconize the ipod (but windows still does).
    when i tried to restore it to factory settings it put it in disk mode and i can't get it back to normal after many attempts.
    i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and my ipod. still didn't fix the problem
    i ran cmd and did the chkdsk and even the format E: and it says that the file system is RAW. please use the fs/ switch to specify the file system you wish to use on this volume.
    when i try to use the ipod updater it now freezes on me.
    i don't know if this helps but when i turn on the ipod that file folder w/ exclaimation point comes up and tells me to go to www.apple.com/support/ipod
    i did. tried everythign they said. nothing.
    do i take my ipod back to the store or what?

    ahh! mines doing the same thing!!! i dunno what to do. i hate ipods. the only reason i have this one is cause i won it off the radio. -_-
