Ipod stuck on setup

I am trying to set up ipod 5, restoring from a laptop from an ipod 4. ipod setup says to connect to itunes. and Connected to itunes is as far as it will let me go. I thought i had it all set up on laptop. Have synced in many times.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My Sony BDV-n9200wl home system is stuck on setup screen?

My Sony BDV-n9200wl is stuck on setup screen? I can't do anything with it? It is like it has frozen. A message does come up about updated software available and to update it but I can't cause I can't get passed the setup screen! I have hardly used it, may 6 times at most! I was told to try changing the batteries in my remote but this made no difference

Hello Kerry-h, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
The home theater system (HTS) will stop responding duing the system software (firmware) update if the BD/DVD function was not set before starting the update. Follow these steps if the HTS has stopped responding after trying to perform a system software (firmware) update using the Network update feature.
Unplug the HTS from AC power. Plug it back in and turn it on.
Press the BD/DVD function button.
Re-attempt the Network Update process.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific.

Hey Muhamad,
Contact your computer manufacture to inquire about an updated Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Modify your computer's BIOS the following ways:
Change the Plug and Play settings. For example, if Plug and Play functionality is currently being controlled by the BIOS, change it so it is controlled by the operating system.
Enable or disable Universal Serial Bus (USB) support.
Disable power management support.
Disable infrared support.
Disable all serial ports.
Remove non-essential hardware devices one at a time. This includes a second video adapter, Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapters, modems, sound cards, network adapters, and other non-essential
Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) adapters, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapters, and PC Cards.
Disconnect non-essential external devices and cables, such as backup devices, external hard disk drives, printers, and scanners.
If you are using a notebook computer, verify that it is not currently in a docking station.
Specify a different computer type when you start your computer.

IPod stuck after trying to update software

Hello there
This is my 2nd attempt to update my iPod software and like the first time, it seems to have left my iPod stuck on 'Do Not Disconnect', with the drive just whirring away.
The first time I tried this I thought it'd killed my iPod. It looks like it's doing the same thing again. Should I just disconnect my iPod and see if I can sort it like I did last time?
Or does the update just happen to take ages and ages?
Thank you for your help. I've looked through a few threads but haven't managed to find anyone with quite the same problem - apologies if I missed it.

I had the same problem, this is how I fixed it...
I had to go to a completely new computer (my work one) that didn't have iTunes on it, install iTunes 9.0, then do the restore...now it works...
I would assume that if you removed every last vestige of iTunes from your computer it would act the same way. I think you would have to delete and completely remove the iTunes files from your user folder on Windows machines (AppData or LocalData, the hidden folder with the iTunes info in it...)

If your iPod displays this message but is not connected to a computer, or another device such as iPod Camera Connector, reset it to remove it from disk mode.
To avoid this behavior in the future, make sure that you safely disconnect your iPod prior to disconnecting it from your computer.

- 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 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 touch 4G setup stuck

Hey, I bought an iPod touch last Saturday and it was having connection problems so I exchanged it for a new one. I'm stuck on the setup of my new iPod and can't get past this step. I did not see this screen with the setup of my last iPod touch. I have just entered in my apple account information and now it comes to this page:
http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/3073/itunesstuck.png
I click the links and nothing happens, when you right click the only option is to copy link. They are javascript links as I've found out from copy & pasting.
I ran the network diagnostic and the connect to a secure link to iTunes Store failed and the connection attempt to firmware update timed out, but everything else is fine.
I can't even update the OS because I'm still stuck this screen.. any suggestions?
Thanks

To activate your iPod so you can use it you need (per Apple's 4G spec page):
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10 or later
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
It says you need an internet connection for activation.
You can't use the iPod before it is activated.
Can't you find a computer to use for activation? Just do not sync to that computer since that creates problems when you connect to another computer.

IPod stuck on Apple logo

After running the iPod updater because I updated my iTunes to version 6, I was told to remove my iPod and attatch to external power source to flash the firmware. When I plugged it into the wall, it has been stuck on the Apple logo ever since (going on 5 hours now). I have done numerous resets, tried to plug into the computer to run updater again, but it won't even recognize that it has been plugged into the computer.
I'm pretty much at the end of things I can think to do.
This is on a 15 gig iPod.

Okay,after letting my ipod totally uncharge (nothing on the screen). I unplugged the firewall cord, shut down and then restarted my computer, replugged the cord and plugged in my ipod. My computer recognized it this time and then I opened the update file again (programs, ipod, updated 9-23-05) and chose restore again, this time it restored (which means erases everything and puts it back to the factory settings)
Fortunately my music files were still on my itunes so after restoring, I again shut down the computer and repeated the process before, unplugged cord and ipod, restart, plug in the cord and the ipod. A screen came up to rename my ipod and setup my preferences just like when I first setup the ipod and after that it reloaded my songs and is working fine now, but I have spent all day messing with this silly machine. The next step I was going to try if this didn't work was load my setup cd that came with the ipod but I didn't need to and I was surprised that I didn't. Hope this helps. My ipod is the 20gb clickwheel. Good Luck.

Windows Vista - iPod Nano charges, setup wizard will not start

Help!
I have a new PC, and it's Windows Vista.
I have connected my iPod, and it has charged up, but the setup wizard has not come on?
How do I save music to my iPod? My PC recognises it as an iPOD, and I can drag and drop things into it as though it is a storage device. However, my iPod does not recognise this music or photo's when I turn it on and try to play stuff? There are no instructions in the box. It's brand new from argos! Never had one before, so don't know what to do.
Please help.

Sorry you are having problems.
Could it possibly be any security related software that is preventing this ?

Make sure that you have an official copy of Firefox. Do a clean install BUT make sure you do not use any offer to remove personal data or you will destroy bookmarks and settings. If you have problems try to give the exact error messages so paste them into your reply of attach screen shots.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#'''Windows:'''
#*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#*C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords.

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.
