- Try another cable

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • My iPod Touch randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

    This has happened before so i know what to do, BUT, my main menu button has been broken for a month so I just shut down my iPod to get out of apps. But, now since it won't turn on and I can't reset it, how do I fix it?

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode, use this program:

  • I pod touch wont shut down

    When I turn off my ipod touch the apple logo keeps turning on and off. This continues until the battery is drained. I have tried reboot and software updates with no change. Can anyone help me?

    Hi,
    Try restoring the iPod touch, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Do you have any 3rd-party firewall software on your Mac? Another user, Luc, describes a similar issue caused by firewall software here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10499334#10499334
    If the issues resolved by disabling the security software, it probably just needs to be reconfigured.

  • My ipod touch wont let me download free games

    my ipod touch wont download free games

    I had that same problem, I used a gift card (all of it), and when I tried to use the AppStore it wouldn't let me, I tried calling apple support and iTunes support, but they did not help. The way I resolved my problem is I went to the grocery store and bought a visa debit gift card, with $1.00 balance on it and put that info on my billing settings when they asked me to update it or change it or whatever, and it worked perfectly, that may be the ONLY way for your problem to be resolved, and it's a confirmed answer, since I have done it myself, if you don't do that, you will never be able to download free apps, receive and download gifted apps, or even UPDATE an app, it ***** I know, I went through exactly what you did, and if you do what I did, you'll be able to use the AppStore again! Hope this was helpful for you.

  • My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

    My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
    You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.
