IPod Touch used until battery went flat, starts charging and now it won't stop resetting itself (Apple screen). :(

I have an iPod Touch, fairly old (think it's 3rd gen, has no camera). I used it today until the battery went flat, tried charging it as I normally do and now it's stuck as if it's having the home and off buttons pressed all the time... It keeps rebooting and always just stays to the Apple screen basically.
Tried connecting to iTunes, shows up like it's syncing but, I can't select it to do anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

- Try restoring the iPOd.
To allow the restore try:
- a reset.
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.
- Place the iPod in Recovery Mode
- Placing in DFU mode

- Let the batter fully drain. After charging fro at least an hour try again.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

My iphone 3g has been restored but it went under safety mode and now it won't start, what do I do?
It just has a picture of the usb cord needs to hook up to i tunes but itunes says the problem about being unable to start it under safety mode

It's in recovery mode. You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,
Regard,

You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
Good luck.

Is there any way to get my photos and videos off a ipod touch 5th gen that went through the was and does not work anymore?

My ipod touch 5th gen went through the wash the other day while it was on and it came out not working at all. I was wondering if there was a way to get any of my photos and videos off of it so i could put them on my computer. Anything will do, from do it yourself methods to companies that will do it for you.

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos (only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- A data recovery company can likely get them off the iPod. Be prepared to pay alot. Google for iPhone data recovery

IPod touch 4g failed to update to 6.1 and now can't recover

I tried to update my iPod touch 4G to 6.1 from 5.1.1.
At the beginning iTunes showed an error
Now my iPod is in the recover mode.
But iTunes says that it can't connect to update servers.
So, on the iPod's screen there is only an iTunes logo and a usb cable.

Mine works now too, i don't know what fixed it. I tried to update it using older version of itunes on another computer and it made it starter but it didn't finish the work. My home computer after 3 days of trying had finally connected to itunes and downloaded the recovery software, however i had to change usb ports for this to happen.
Not it is back in normal mode, but i lost all my apps.

My iPod suddenly stopped reacting to my charge and the battery icon doesn't come up but it still charges and now it won't connect to my iTunes on my computer, help?!

I brought an iPod off eBay, second hand a few weeks ago. The first week I had it everything was working fine. Then suddenly when I plugged it in to charge the battery logo didn't appear, so I left it overnight and it still charged but there was still no logo. And now when I plug it in to connect to my iTunes on my computer, it isn't showing up on the left hand side where it should. I have tried restoring the iPod twice and using different cables and no change was made, what should I do?
