IPod Touch Reboot Problem

I have an iPod Touch, 1st Generation, 16 GB that is jailbroken. I fully turned it off by holding the power and home buttons a few days ago and when I went to turn it back on it shows a black screen with information on it. It gets to the point where it says "Running fsck on the boot volume..." then goes on to say "Invalid directory item count (It should be 38 instead of 37)
Then after a little while it restarts the ipod, and restarts this process
I've left it on for several hours now and it just repeats this over and over.
When I plug it into the computer, itunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in so I can't just restore it.
Please help me!

Hi,
Try placing your iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring it via iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

4G iPod Touch Reboots during Sync

My 4th generation iPod touch reboots several times during the sync process. It doesn't seem to affect the synchronization, as the iPod and Mac do seem to synchronize correctly. Running OSX 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 (54); iPod contents are 1293 songs, 1035 apps, no podcasts, 39 books & 71 photos. Also, iPod has about 3GB free out of 64GB

Do you receive an error message? If so, what is it?

Problem with iPod Touch Rebooting - Restore No Worky

Out of nowhere my ipod touch started turning off on it's own. To turn it back on I can hit the power button on top, but after the white apple is displayed it shuts off agian. Never makes it to the home scrren. The only way to keep it on is to plug it into my car charger. As soon as I take it off the charger and play a song it shuts off again.
I already tried a restore and that didn't do anything. I am not use the new 2.2 software version.
It is not under warranty. Is there any solution for this? If I pay the fee for the new software (which is ridiculous), will that by any chance fix this?
Thanks for any insight.

I figured out that the issue is when I plug my ipod touch into the AUX port on any radio it will play for a few seconds and then crash. I've tried two different vehicles and it does the same thing on both.
Why would the ipod crash using the AUX port on a radio? Headphones work fine and my FM transmitter which use the large bottom slot on the ipod works fine as well.
Any clue?

My ipod touch reboots over and over after updating to 5.1 firmware

I have a 3rd generation 32gb ipod touch that up until recently worked just fine. In order to download use an app I was required to update to 5.1, prior to this I had never updated the firmware so it was using whatever version was on there when I purchased it in 2010. After the update my ipod started randomly rebooting, this happens even if it is just sitting there doing nothing. It happens so often that in a 24 hour period my battery went from full to empty even though I was not even using it. I've tried using the restore option and starting it as a new ipod about 5 times now but it just continues to happen. I also tried downloading and installing older firmware but I get a 3194 error. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I would try deleting the existing firmare update file on yur computer and then try restoring the the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Ba ro of an Apple store is in order. The update file is located here:

IPod touch serious problem

I was just 5 mins ago using my iPod when I realised the wifi wasn't working so I decided to reboot it. I have a jailbroken ipod so I was able to just tap the reboot toggle from the NC. It was rebooting like it usually should be when the apple logo came up and went away just like it does when you first activate your iPod touch. After that the big iPod sign did come up with slide to set up. It won't even let me set it up again because the activation thingy is down so don't bother telling me to do that. Anyway I then tried connecting the usb cable. But every time I do that it just resprings but goes back to the activation thing.
iTunes won't recognize my iPod so I can't restore anything.
What do I do?

Lol, sorry but the fact that it's jailbroken is most definitely not the problem.
Believe what you want, but it does not change the truth. Your iPod is NFG because it is jail broken, and because your iPod is jail broken, the members of this community and Apple are under NO obligation to help you.

Ipod touch WiFi problems to be fixed in 3.0 Firmware?

Basically, I bought my ipod touch brand new about a month ago (2G, 2.2.1 firmware). Ever since I opened it (approx. 2 weeks ago) the WiFi has been pretty sketchy. I get an error "server stopped responding" a lot (maybe like 2-8 mins of browsing) on safari as well as apps.
I took my problem to the apple store and the guy basically did a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, but my apps were crashing a lot. He did a complete wiping of the hard drive (back to factory with all of my apps gone and stuff) and basically It still doesn't work right.
So, Should I go back to the apple store? Or, Are these problems planned on being fixed in the 3.0 Firmware? If you have any other solutions please let me know

Welcome to Apple Discussions
3.0 is supposed to have some WiFi fixes - I'll let you know in a week or so. However, your problem with WiFi is most likely a router or DNS problem. The router part is easy - just reboot it by unplugging it and then plug it back in. DNS problems are an ISP issue and if that is what is going on, you should notice the same type of lag with your MacBook.
Fixing DNS problems are reasonably easy. Check out OpenDNS.com which will provide you with both instructions and an alternate to your ISP's service.
App problems can be caused by many things, including the app itself. What the Genius did for you at the Apple store was to restore you iPod to new. You can download your apps again without having to pay for them.

2nd Gen IPod touch screen problem

Hello,
This question is regarding a 2gen 16gig Ipod Touch. My son’s Ipod touch just recently started having a screen fill of static for lack of a better work. As a way to describe it when we reboot it holding the home button and power button the apple logo appears but white line on the right hand side of the screen. When it fully boots up there are repeating vertical or horizontal lines across the screen. If you slide the bar across the button something happens but the screen is so staticy that you can’t see what is going on. He says he didn’t try to jailbreak it, nor does it have water damage that he knows of.
We have tried to do a software restore within Itunes but if hasn’t helped (tried a couple times and set it up as a new touch). Is there anything else we can do, are there any other tricks to try or should I make an appt at the apple store?
If a picture of the screen would help we can post try and post one tonight.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Mike

If you restored it to factory-new (you did not add anything to it like apps, mail accounts) and you still have problem it appears that there is a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.

2nd Gen iPod Touch Reboots Westell 9100EM Verizon FiOS Router

I've been round and round with Verizon FiOS with no answers yet.
My iPod Touch 2nd Gen 16GB 3.0 will connect successfully to my FiOS router wirelessly...but as soon as I try to access my mail or any internet site my router reboots. I just got FiOS a week or so ago. They have replaced the router but I still have the same issue. I never had this problem with my cable provider that I had in the past and using my Linksys WRT54G router. As a test, I connected my Linksys to my FiOS router as an access point and turned the wireless off on my FiOS router. As soon as attempted to get my mail on the iPod...the FiOS router rebooted again...but not the Linksys. I have tried using WPA w/TKIP (which I used on my Linksys) as well as WEP (although I don't like WEP).
I'm a Systems Engineer by trade and do this kind of troubleshooting for a living but this has me stumped. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

Wow, I never have heard of a device causing a router to reboot. I've got one idea about what could be happening but it is too strange to be the cause. Try updating the router DNS addresses to something that works - like OpenDNS.
Also, I would ask Verizon for another router. Other people certainly don't have this problem.

IPod Touch reboots PC

Everytime I plug my new iPod Touch into my desktop and turn it on, it reboots my PC. I downloded the latest iTunes and I used this same computer all the time with my 80G Video iPod.
I tried plugging it in to my laptop (Windows XP) and there is no problem.
Any suggestions?

Sorry - the desktop runs on XP home edition and the laptop is XP Media Center.
I am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on the desktop.

IPod Touch reboots computer

Agggggg! Every time I plug in my iPod touch to the computer, one of two things happen. 1. It won't recognize the device. or 2. It says it's a "Digital Camera" and after 2-3 seconds the computer "Reboots". I've checked out most all of the posts but none have the "reboot" problem. I've removed iTunes twice (per website instructions)and downloaded the latest version but still nothing. I can't keep the computer from "Rebooting" long enought to check anything else out. I've tried a new cable and plugged it into the USB port on the back of my PC and still zip. This didn't happen until I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes 3 days ago and when I tryed to use it for the first time, (to delete a downloaded Podcast) iTunes would start up OK but as soon as I plugged my IPod into the USB Port of the computer I would get a message saying it was a "Digital Camera" and then the computer would "Reboot". The Ipod works "OK" otherwise. I did download my first "Podcast" and it was from Disney and I did it through the iPod using iTunes on the iPod with "WIFI" but the prodcast won't play as it says it is not the right "Format" (even when I used iTunes to do it in the first place) so I was going to use iTunes on my computer to delete it because you can't delete it on the iPod itself and now I can't get the iPod to connect to the computer.
Hay, I'm 64 with little hair and I'm about to pull the rest out.... Help!
Thanks

I get the same problem of reboot on one (a Dell dimension 5150 under W XP Home family SP3) of my pcs when I usb-plug my ipod touch 4.
I've read a lot of posts (from Apple or not), I've followed exactly what it is written on drivers update, iTune update and so on ...
After 3 days of experiences ...
and thancks to your post, I succeed to (quite) avoid this reboot ... while my ipod is usb-plugged (it's a speed game between the device manager and my mouse!)
If I win the game , I succeed to uninstall the camara driver that appears in Imaging device (and that is the source of the reboot problem!) and then (I've time to) update the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
But, if I unplug and plug my ipod again, the camera driver appears again ... and hooups!! again a reboot (if ....).
So, my question is: how to fix definitively the uninstallation of the camera driver that appears under Imagin device when I usb-plug my Ipod ?
remark A: This problem of reboot appears once I got my firt photos with my Ipod touch.
remark B: All work fine on my mobile PC, under W7.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
What I've done that may have caused this:
I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

IPod touch connection problem!

My iPod touch no longer appears in iTunes when it is connected to the computer. I have tried to fix this problem in as many ways as I know but none of them have worked. So far, I've tried: Restarting my iPod, Downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes, using a different usb cable, using different usb ports, restarting my computer and stopping & starting the apple mobile device service. My iPod still charges when connected to my wall charger and the computer which I use (windows xp) still connects to my brothers iPod touch. I don't what the problem could be?! My iPod is 1 & 1/2 years old, but still works perfectly fine apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

IOS 8.1 iPod touch 5 problems

I recently updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to iOS 8.1 and have found a few rather annoying problems.
1) It now takes basically a whole day for my iPod to charge. I cannot use my iPod and charge it at the same time (or only on very low battery use apps), which I could before . The battery life has dropped pretty significantly. When I plug it in, it is extremely tempermental about being connected.
2) I added some new songs to iTunes and it took over fifteen tries over a three day period to get it to sync my iPod.
3) This one is very important as much as extremely annoying. When I start typing on the Internet, Safari will freeze up and stop working.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problems? Has anyone found any solutions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch Internet Problems

My iPod Touch connects to my wi-fi but the internet does not work. I've tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password, I've updated all software, I've reset network settings, and I've also restored my ipod touch to factory settings to see if that would help. As of now, none of that has fixed the issue.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You may not really be connected to your network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting it may get around this problem. If this doesn't work then check for a firmware update for your router on the manufacturer's support web page.
If you need more help please give the make, model and version of your router and how you have it configured.
