Ipod touch upgrade...I think it crashed my system

Last night I purchased the new upgrade 2.o
Today, my itunes displayed an error message, device could not be recognized, or something to that effect.
Since, my ipod touch is stuck with an apple symbol and a rotating circle down by the "home button" It will not turn on It will not turn off It will not charge It will not leave this screen and I do not know what to do.
Does anyone know any way to "wake up" my ipod?

  • I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone as well, will I be able to sync my iPhone with my existing iTunes library?

    Hi, I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone to use as well, will I be able to use them both from the same computer or will there be some problems?

    Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPods, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account.  See this article for different ways to manage multiple devices.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • How good is the iPod Touch Upgrade?

    How good is the iPod touch upgrade? is it really worth it? should i upgrade? or should i wait for the sdk to come out and then upgrade?
    And are there any safety/security features for safari? to protect your ipod touch from hacks and viruses?

    There were some Mac viruses in the past (like 10 years ago), but none for OS X.
    Sophos provides a list of Mac viruses here. Almost all are from the late 1980's and early 1990's. The most recent one being June 1998 - and all of them affecting Mac OS 7, 8 or 9 - none for Mac OS X
    Virus software on the Mac mainly detects and protects against passing on Windows viruses, which do nothing on a Mac.
    In fact, Virus protection software on the Mac is a bit of a scam, as there's none to protect against.
    A couple of 'proof-of-concept' viruses were demonstrated for OS X but never released, and as I said, there's not a single virus in the wild that affects current shipping versions of OS X.
    Not a single one.

  • Just bought a new iPod touch 16G - I think it's a 5th gen. - I used my old iPod to record rehearsals.  The new one is stating that my Belken mic is not compatible.  Can I record with this new one?  If so, what do I need for a mic?

    Just bought a new iPod Touch 16G - (I think it's a 5th gen.).   I used my old iPod to record music rehearsals.  This new iPod is stating that my old Belken mic (with new adaptor) is not compatible.  Does this new iPod Touch have ability to record audio?     If so, what do I need for a mic??

    Thanks very much!   I found the app, tested it, and it sounds fairly lifelike.    Big help!!

    I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
    If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    - 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.

  • Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?

    Hi,
    Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?
    If Apple cannot help us, what is the alternative without us hacking the device?

    Even hacking it you cannot go further than the equivalent to 4.2.1. The only thing Apple could possibly do is add more RAM.

  • How do I get music from my PC, that was originally from CDs, to the iPod touch?  I think you have to get them on iTunes 1st, then sync them over to the iPod?  How do you do this whole process?  Thanks, I'm very NEW at this.

    It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

  • Ipod Touch 32Gb 2nd Gen Ranomly Crashes?!? HELP!!!

    Sorry for a double post, but it was in the wrong section.
    Well I recently bought at 32Gb 2nd Gen Ipod Touch about three weeks ago, and it's amazing. It's pretty much everything I expected it to be. Well... there's only one problem I have with it. I could be listening to music, or watching a movie, or just browsing some pages on safari and then it would just randomly turn off. I mean, I can't be because of some external damage, can it? I haven't dropped it. I updated it to the 2.2 firmware, and I even restored it about three times now, but nothing has changed with it. It just keeps randomly restarting. When I restored it I didn't even add music, I had like three applications, Bubble Wrap Pro, Bubble Wrap, and Field Runners, then I went to browse a page on safari and it just randomly restarted... I thought that restore was pointless if it was just going to do that crap all over again... I use to think it was the album art, because I got that off the album art off google. Do they have to be a certain type of picture like .png or .jpeg? Well I deleted them all off and it still messes up? Just randomly restarts whenever I'm doing something. What's the problem with my Ipod!?? Do I have a corrupt file like a song, application or movie? Also whenever I connect it to my computer it says like "MD Crash Report," what is that? Does that have any affect to what's happening to my Ipod? I have a three-year warranty at Best Buy. I took it back and they were little help. They told me that I probably had a corrupt file. I think I do, but how can I find it? I have over 2,000 songs, so I have no time to look for one song that is corrupt, you know! And no I don't hold the sleep and home button... I know that's how to restart it. So can anyone help? Any ideas on how to fix it and what causes it to restart?
    I've done a little research but not a lot of people have the same problem. Well thank you for reading!

    If you've reset it 3 times and it still hasn't worked then it seems to me (although I'm probably wrong) like a hardware issue. After all, I doubt a corrupt song file could do that and if you only have 3 applications on it (all of which you have downloaded through the iStore right?) then I highly doubt it to be software related.
    I'd take it back to the shop and ask for it to be repaired or better yet a new unit. Don't listen to their rubbish, you've paid for a 3 year guarantee so make sure you get what you want!
    I think a corrupt song can mess it up a little though, right. But I just don't know how to find the corrupt song or application. Or maybe it isn't that? I really don't know. Can someone tell me for sure what the problem is? And yes, I get all my applications from the App Store. It's not jailborken either, and there isn't even a jailbreak for the 2nd Gen Ipod Touch...
    So how am I suppose to prove to the "Geek Squad" that my Ipod is broken if it randomly chooses to turn off? I can't sit there for fifteen minutes waiting for it to randomly restart so that they can see it, and tell me that it's a hardware issue. Do I just ask them for a new unit? Can I just go to any Apple store, and they can help me? Or is it just not likely that they would help me beacuse I bought it from Best Buy. Anyone know?

  • Purchasing iPod Touch upgrade (maps, mail, etc...) with 1.1.4 firmware

    Hello,
    I recently restored my iPod Touch which was in 1.1.1 firmware from iTunes. iTunes automatically upgraded it to 1.1.4.
    Now, I would like to purchase the software upgrade with maps, mail, etc...
    But I can't see any button on the iTunes iPod main screen... What am I missing?
    Thanks!
    Raphael

    Right now that is not an option. All links to it are gone. See:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=271872604&s=14 3441
    That worked before.
    I would think it might be a good time to wait just a while. Until the 2.0 Upgrade is released in "July". Without speculating on a date, I will say the iPhone3G is set to be released on the 11th.
    Waiting stinks, but who knows? You may get lucky on this one.

  • IPod touch upgrade to iOS 6 runs slower

    It's terrible!
    I'm very unhappy with iOS 6
    I have an iPod touch 4th gen, not jailbraked and since I upgraded to iOS 6 it's a disaster
    It runs slow, the App Store crashes, safari doesn't run smoothly etc
    I want to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but I don't know how
    Apple needs to do something ASAP !

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    You can try the following for problems other than the App store problem.
    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
