IPod touch keeps resetting itself

Hi I recently received an iPod touch replacement for my old one that broke. The new one is 3rd generation, which I upgraded to 4th generation just earlier. The problem is when Im using my ipod it is very unstable and resets itself automatically. How can i stop this from happening because every time it resets I need to restore it via the computer. Please help me

Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

30gig ipod video keeps resetting itself

my 30gig ipod video keeps resetting until it runs out of battery life, if i have it connected to my pc, it just keeps resetting indefinately, and if i disconnect it, it does so until it runs out of battery.
i've already reset it manually, returned it to factory conditions, I dont know what else to do, any help at all would be appreciated.

Hello eonitwat,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try manually forcing the iPod into Disk Mode and then reconnecting to your computer. This might prevent the iPod from continuously rebooting to allow you enough time to try and reformat the iPod completely using the tools provided by Windows.
Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod on WIndows. The instructions are for Vista and XP, but you'll find that Windows 7 is very similar to Windows Vista.

If still no luck, you may want to consider having the iPod serviced.
Worth a shot.

2G 32GIG iPod Touch Keeps Turning Itself Completely Off????

I've got a 2g 32gig iPod touch that constantly turns itself completely off if I let it sit for 5 minutes or so. It's not locking...It's completely turning itself off. I need to reboot it to get it going again. I thought it might be the older 2v software so I've updated to the most current 3.1.3 or something. Still doing it. Is there anything I can try. I started the music playing and it keeps playing all night. However, once I let it sleep it will only come back on if I try and use it within a few minutes. After that it's off. The battery is fine. If it stays plugged into the USB it is also fine. I'm stumped. Doesn't make any sense.
Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated. This thing cost way too much for this to happen just months after the warranty expired.

Have you tried:
- resetting it:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring it from backup via iTunes
- Restoring it to factory defaults via iTunes.

IPOD TOUCH KEEPS PAUSING ITSELF! PLEASE HELP

HI EVERYONE<
I HAVE PROBABLY THE MOST ANNOYING PROBLEM THE IPOD TOUCH COULD HAVE...IT KEEPS PAUSING THE SONGS (AND EVEN VIDEOS) AFTER EVERY FEW MINUTES...EVEN IF ITS LOCKED. NOW I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING LIKE RESETTING IT, RESTORING IT AND ALL THAT AND EVEN DRAINING THE WHOLE BATTERY AND CHARGING IT AGAIN. IT WONT WORK.
I HAVE HAD MY IPOD TOUCH FOR A MONTHS NOW AND I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF **** FROM IT. THING IS, FIRST IT COULD NOT TURN OFF BUT I SORTED THAT BY RESTORING IT AND RESETTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES I MUST SAY. BUT NOW, ANYTHING I PLAY EITHER A VIDEO OR A SONG PAUSES ON ITS OWN!!! I COULD SIMPLY PRESS PLAY AGAIN BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS INTO THE SONG, IT PAUSES AGAIN. I CAN NEVER HAVE IT IN MY POCKET NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO CLICK "PLAY" EVERY 15 SECONDS ARGGH. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME

I also want to submit my experience. Same exact thing happened to mine. It only happened after the recent update to ver 2.0.2 (5C1), and it's really ANNOYING!! You can't listen to an mp3 or any music this way when it pauses every few seconds! Of course, all the free apps I downloaded could be subject to scrutiny... Overall, the new apps as well as the default apps seem to still work with minimal issues.
The music sometimes jumps ahead to the next track, but mostly just pauses randomly within each track. Last night I temporarily cleared it up by holding the power off for 5 seconds, and it provides a red slide off [something I never saw before], waited a few minutes, then turned back on. (Found this step on another post.) I imagine this resets the system and may clear some garbage. After I did this [a few times] I successfully listened through a track or two, but was so peeved, and paranoid, I couldn't enjoy the music! I hope this doesn't happen next time. I thought it was a corrupted mp3 at first, but it happens to all tracks, and it seems to be an internal problem. If this continues, I may want to clear reset the whole device and possibly revert back to when it worked great, but then again, they may clear it up with another software revision.

My iPod touch keeps locking itself, HELP!

Recently my iPod touch (2nd generation) would not lock when I'd push the button. Now I'll be using it or an app and it will lock itself time and time again! Anytime I unlock it, it relocks by itself and when I do unlock it, then the power off comes on the screen. I've never had any problems with it before. I've tried restarting it but it just goes and does the same thing! It's gotten to the point where it's just too much of a hassle to even try and use it. Suggestions??

- Reset. Nothing is lost
Force an app to close: Hold down the On/Off button for a few seconds until a red slider appears,

Why does my ipod touch keep pausing itself?

While listening to my first generation ipod touch, it will just pause itself. Whether using headphones, auxillary jack, or skull candy speakers which connect through the charging port on the ipod. REALLY ANNOYING!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Ipod touch keeps resetting

i have an ipod touch 8gb second generation. When i connect it to my computer or charge it, it stays on the apple logo and makes a connecting sound every 20-30 seconds but it doesn't actually connect. The computer recognizes when it is connected but all the button are phased out, as in you can't click restore or update.
One time it did finally boot up but all the free or paid for apps wouldn't work. Then when i connected to the computer again it starts the never ending resetting thing again. What is wrong?

If you mean the Device continually Restarts... See Here...

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?

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!

IPOD NANO KEEPS RESETING ITSELF

Every time i unplug my ipod nano from my computer it resets it self and all the music i've just added isn't there anymore. What could the problem be?

If its been sitting for awhile, its showing the apple logo because it's waking up from Deep Sleep mode. Deep Sleep kicks in when you let your iPod sit for about 36 hours. If it is only when you let in sit for long periods of time, don't worry about it, it's normal. It had nothing to do with your cousins.

My ipod keeps resetting itself when i plug it in to the computer, now what?

Basically, I plugged my ipod into my laptop as usual and itunes sprang up with an error message that i can't quite remember. I just remember that it mentioned a file corruption and that i should either restore the ipod settings or i should disconnect and reconnect it. I reconnected it and got the same result, then tried again. This time iTunes didn't recognise it all and within a minute of being connected my ipod reset itself. The laptop registers it, but my ipod just keeps resetting itself and i don't know what to do. I've tried resetting it and restoring default settings, so what more can i do or is a repair the only option?

Follow the steps mentioned in this article to disable the camera notification: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501 , then try again to connect to iTunes.

My IPOD keeps resetting itself

When I connect my IPOD to the computer with the updater program running, the unit just keeps resetting itself on its own. The dpdating tool give the error message "can't mount IPOD" and shuts down. As long as I have the IPOD connected to the computer it continues to reset itself. Does any one have any ideas how to fix this problem?

hi tricky D!
hmmmm. let's try giving the technique outlined in this document a try:
