Ipod touch reboot?

I got an Ipod touch from a friend a while ago and it is a 4th generation touch. i tried to sync it to my computer and it wouldn't sync because it is already sync to too many computers and my friend is to lazy to un-sync my ipod so i tried to restore the ipod to factory settings but, it needs my friends old code but, she can't remember it.. So i need a way to reboot the ipod i think the most my friend would do would be check the email if she got a email from apple o a new password. I dont k now how to get an email sent to her or to me and i don't know any other ways of getting the password. so please help.

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

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?

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:

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 rebooted itself!

My iPod touch 3rd gen (with 4 gen software) rebooted itself. The ipod told me to connect to iTunes, but when I connected the iPod, iTunes told me it can't connect to my iPod because it is locked with a passcode, and that I have to type the passcode on the pod, and it does have a passcode I programed.. But I can't type it on because the iPod is telling me to connect to itunes!

What happens if you try to manually place it in recovery mode? See this article for information on getting it into Recovery Mode.

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.
Nick

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?

Music hangs while browsing, then iPod touch reboots itself , 1.1.3

Hi,
usually when I'm listening to music and browsing the web, one or two of those apps crash after a short while using 1.1.2. I was curious what 1.1.3 does.
I was listening to music podcast and browsing with mobile safari. During loading a web page, mobile safari stopped to show more progress and the music was hanging, looping a bit. Finally the iPod was rebooting. Not a great improvement, if you ask me.
Regards,
Rainer Joswig

Are you saying that the issue is present in 1.1.3?
I'm not seeing it, but I've only spent a limited time testing...

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!

My iPod Touch 5g reboots randomly, help?

Sometimes my iPod Touch reboots randomly when I am using it. This mostly happens when it's below 50% battery. I got it for Christmas and it's still brand new. No fall or water damage, why does this happen? I'm on iOS 6.0.1 but I'll update today

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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will replace it on the spot.

Ipod Touch Stuck on the Apple reboot screen, please help!

Ok, So I was using my ipod touch. Actually I was downloading something as well as deleting some pictures of my ipod.
Eventually it froze up so I had to put it on reboot mode. So after about half an hour I started to notice that it had lasted way longer than usual, however I let it continue for another hour until the battery ran out. Even after the battery ran out and I plugged it into my computer it stays on the apple screen and therefore my iTunes refuses to recognize my iPod.
What can I Do?
P.S.
At times it acts like it is ab out to finally fix itself yet it just goes to black and then back to the apple screen.
I even left it charging all night and it was still in the same screeen. The only time it changes is to show me that it is out of battery

IPod Touch 2G 32GB with White Apple Logo and Failed Restore / Recovery

My Specifications:
iPod Touch 32GB 2G
iPhone OS 3.1.3
2.8 Ghz. Intel Core 2 Duo iMac
Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 9.0.3 (15)
Problem:
After updating my iPod Touch to OS 3.1.3, my iPod touch started having sync issues where it would say the sync failed. The backup files stopped being created and the latest version was over two weeks old (from prior to the updated to 3.1.3). After an application became unstable and crashed frequently, I tried to do a reboot by holding the Power & Home buttons until the Apple Logo appeared to begin the reboot process. After waiting for 6 hours, the ipod still had not rebooted but was frozen on the White Apple Logo screen.
Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Take:
1. Attempted to follow Apple Frozen iPod Touch and Common Issue Troubleshooting Guide. The iPod will not shut down using the Power Slider function.
2. Restore via iTunes using the DFU Restore Function (Power Button & Home Button for 10 seconds, releasing the Power Button, followed by plugging in the USB cable while holding the Home Button down). iTunes recognized the ipod at the point and began the restore process. The process took almost 32 hours and when it was completed, the ipod would not boot up by remained with the White Apple Logo. My original attempt was with using a powered USB hub.
3. Repeated the restore process but by plugging directly into the computer and eliminating all USB devices except keyboard and mouse. Deleted the OS 3.1.3 updated and made iTunes download the file in case it was corrupted.
4. Rebooted computer between each attempt.
5. Deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Services as per Apple Article HT1747. Rebooted the computer and reinstalled iTunes. iTune would not recognized the iPod Touch to do a restore using the DFU method. I’ve retried various timings and versions with the cable plugin, booting with the cable plug in and not plugged in, etc... No effect.
6. Repeated the above steps on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the iPod.
7. Repeated the above steps using a different sync cable. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the ipod.
8. Unplugged the iPod and let it completely drain until the screen went blank for 1 day. When pressing home button the Low Battery / Plug In warning appears. Recharged the battery using a wall plug for 12 hours. Retried the above steps. No change.
What I’ve Eliminated As The Problem Via My Troubleshooting:
1. Computer Hardware
2. iTunes Software
3. Sync Cable
4. USB Conflicts
What I Need Is A Solution:
1. Completely wiping my ipod is an acceptable solution at this point. I’ve spent a week working on this and wasted way too much time. Is my iPod trashed thanks to an OS update?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've ready each forum posting involved White Apple Logo Issues and have come up empty. Am I the only persons would is having trouble restoring?
Thank you,
Paul

More Troubleshooting Steps For Your Consideration:
I was able to restore back to iPhone OS 2 by using a laptop that had not been synced with my ipod touch previously. When I did the DFU with it, iTunes downloaded OS 2 and it worked.
Then I went back to my iMac and proceeded to install OS 3.1.3 and that seemed to work ok too.
I've been getting the white apple logo of death, however, when I try to sync applications. All seems well, but as it is finishing the ipod touch reboots to the White Apple Logo Screen and stays there. iTunes seems oblivious to this taking place.
During my second rebuild starting with OS 2 and then updating to 3.1.3, it worked again. When I tried to add apps, I only put on a dozen. That worked too. I did get the White Apple Logo Screen of Death once again and I did the third sync to get the rest of my apps in place.
I'm on the third rebuild from version 2. I'm going to try to use an old file I have of 3.1.1 instead of 3.1.3. Also, I'm going to add one application per sync. At least this way I might be able to find out if it is a specific app that is causing the problems.
In my further research, it appears that this bug has been in place since the early days of iPhone OS 2.
All told I've spent over week with my computers tied up working on this problem. I think it would have more cost effective to just buy a new iPod. (I'd rather wait for the 4G version this fall!).
Just in case anyone else has been having issues, that is where I'm at. I'll let you know if I figure this issue out in more detail.
Thanks,
Paul

IPod Touch 2G 32GB stuck on Apple screen, unable to restore

My iPod Touch froze a few days ago. Powering off/on did nothing (I can't turn off using just the power button, have to use Home as well). Hard reset does nothing - it just sits on the Apple screen, without even a progress bar. I let the battery run out, and have charged it again, with the same results.
I was trying to avoid connecting it to iTunes (a whole other story, basically the laptop with my existing iTunes library bluescreened, I thought I had it all backed up but turns out the apps and backups aren't there, we're working on data recovery) but figured that was my only option to restore. Not sure whether the fact I've never connected this iPod to this PC is a problem, but it is not recognising it at all. Not just in iTunes - it's not even registering as a USB device. I have tried forcing it into Restore mode to get it recognised, but it just goes back to the Apple screen and sits there again.
Any ideas? (It's long out of warranty).

Ipod touch only works on externial battery not charger or internial battery

the other day I was using my ipod touch 3 GEN and it went dead so I tried to run it off the charger cable to finish what I was doing.
It would not work on the charger cable, So I tried a second charger cable and no dice. I have a IPAD that used the same charger cable and the charger cable worked fine on the IPAD .
I then tried to use an external battery I had for the. iIPOD and it came up with the apple symbol and then booted. The IPOD seems to work fine on the external battery.
Is my battery in the IPOD bad? or what?

Initially as battery got lower the unit would not even operate so replaced the battery my self. I found that the IPOD Touch (after the battery was replaced) ran as long as the battery charger was connected. Funny thing when the battery charger was connected it showed full charge but after opening a few apps it showed 15% charge with the battery charger attached. I removed the battery charger the IPOD touch died. Then reattached it and the IPOD touch rebooted and showed full charge. After a few minutes the battery charge shows 15%.
I opened the Touch up again and measured the battery voltage and externally the current that the touch drew and it was charging and after a while the Battery showed full charge. when the screen showed 100% the voltage was max and when the screen showed 15% the voltage was the about the same on the battery. I would expect the voltage to be lower if the Touch was at 15%.
The IPOD Touch 3 Gen works fine as long as I have it plugged in When I had it open it up again I measured the battery voltage with the charger attached and it not attached after a full charge and I don't remember there being much difference in the voltage in both cases.
At least after replacing the battery it works when plugged in.
I use the Touch on my breakfast bar plugged in all the time. I am assuming there is a defect somewhere in the voltage regulator ckt inside the IPOD Touch , very strange.
Got lots of good years out of it, but am saving now for a new 64 GIG unit.

Ipod touch reboot?
