IPod will not reset no way, no how, but works.

5th gen 30 GB iPod about two months old will not reset. It isn't frozen, but it will not reset. I've done everything except restoring it and I'm hesitating to do that because I'm not sure how to back up all the music on the iPod to iTunes. There are more songs on the iPod than are on the computer. Is there some way to copy all the songs from the iPod onto the computer???

If it's not frozen, why would you need to reset it?

Ipod will not reset

my ipod will not reset i've held donw the menu and select buttons to get the apple logo however it does not reset it states for me to go to the web site for support www.apple.com/support/ipod. Also, it does not recognized the ipod on the computer when connected. any suggestions

My ipod mini fell too the other day in school. I picked it up and the screen was blank. I've tried to reset it and I've hooked it up to the computer. Itunes wont come up and it has the battery icon less than half full. But when I charge my ipod to the wall or on my radio, press the button down for 10-15 seconds, the screen lights up and it works normally. I just got it fixed almost year ago when this exact thing happened, and i the warrenty is done. so someone please reply this with the solution. i don't feel like buying a new ipod, i rather just pay 70 dollars to send it in and get it fixed.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

My ipod will not reset after several attempts

I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Bluetooth audio will not connec with OS 4 upgrade, but work well with OS 3

The bluetooth with the OS 4 upgrade will not connect with my car stereo, but OS 3 worked well. The iPhone will connect with the bluetooth handsfree connect with the stereo, but not the audio. In short, I am no longer able to listen to the iPhone's iPod music, or use the navigation app through my stereo. Frustrating... I have done a soft and hard reset, as well as talk with 'Crutchfield' regarding the problem. The problem presents to be an issues with OS 4. What solutions are available?

I'm having this problem also. Bluetooth audio works fine with my motorola headset or phone "hands free" connection to my ford exployer but does not work with ipod function nor navigation app. Since this is my first iPhone, I don't know if everything worked with OS3.

My Ipod will not reset.

Is it time for a new device? Nothing I do clears the screen. The last thing I was doing was to update the software. Now all that is on the screen is the iTunes logo and a cable pointing to the logo. It will not turn off or reset.

Ipod will not reset or restore

I have tried to reset my ipod at least 50 times, and have download the update in an effort to restore the ipod but my computer doesn't recognize my ipod so the software cannot d/l to the ipod, what can I do, is it a software issue or a hardware issue. What can I do to get it going, if anything?
Ipod 5th Generation Windows XP

I am having the same issue. The computer will not recognize the ipod. I've seen both the folder with exclamation point and sad ipod icons. When I connect it to the computer I get either the apple or the do not disconnect screen. It sounds like the ipod is trying to start up but then there is a clicking noise and it starts up again. Is this a battery issue? None of the home remedies have worked (and I HAVE read and tried them). Where or how can I get this fixed?
Thanks.

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

IPod will not mount to desktop or iTunes - But still plays fine ??

My iPod will no longer mount on the desktop or in iTunes. I have read through all of the postings on the site, and all of the ideas, and about tried them all. I haven't quite pinpointed the issue I'm having - if anyone can help, please post something for me.
Equipment: iPod 4th Gen - running software version 3.1
Tried connecting via FireWire/USB on two Macintosh G4's - both running 10.4.3, iTunes 6.01. Again, shows up in DiskUtility, but that's it.
I tried iPod updater - but the ipod doesn't show that it's connected to do either an update or a restore. I'd gladly restore the iPod, and reload everything, but it won't show up to be able to do a restore. I also tried in terminal running the /sbin/fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk4s3 in Terminal, and also the back up - dd if=/dev/disk3s3 of=myiPod.dmg - which did create a dmg file, which hopefully backed up my ipod - no biggie if it didn't. I just want to be able to load my podcasts again!
The odd thing is that all the music still plays fine. The iPod charges off both the USB and FireWire. It just won't mount on either computer.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi all,
I have been having vey similar problems and I am sure it is not an issue with ipod. I have plugged my paperweight(previously know as an ipod of the feb 2004 vintage with a 20g drive)into a pc with itunes and it was recognised. However my and other ipods do not mount in any way onto my ibook. I have tried all the resets and reinstalls possible.
I am considering formatting the hard drive and reinstalling panther from scratch to see if this corrects the problem. However as I am not sure which update caused the problem I am concerned I will end up in the same situation.
If anyone has any advice or knows if using Tiger will help when I reinstall, I would really appreciate it.
I am loathed to do this as it will take days to return my mac to it's current setup. However with out a solution being offered by apple (I have had little help from the customer support lines except to say send it for a service that will cost around £100-£150) I can't see anything else left to try.
Thanks in advance

Audio attachment will not open and play on Ipad4 but works fine on PC. Any suggestions?

I have been sent an audio attachment in an email to a Hotmail account. It opens and plays fine on my PC but will not open on my Ipad. I get a pop up wanting to forward the attachment from my Comcast email account but neither will open and play it. Any suggestions?

I kept looking and found this answer in an Ipad forum from IpadJunkie. "Try the OPlayerHD lite app...free. When pressing and holding the WMA attachment select open with OPlayer and it works fine."

Ipod will not reset when pushing button(s)

When i push the volume down and power button for 8 seconds or longer, nothing happens except volume goes down. Is it frozen?

Hey blaheha,
Thanks for the question. You may find the following information helpful:
How to reset iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HELP! ipod will not reset

I was listening to my ipod before i went to bed last night and everything was fine. When i unplugged it this morning and tried to play a song, the screen faded and the ipod shut down. I then plugged it in and it worked. When i unplugged it, it showed a fully charged battery and continued to play the song, but when i tried to play a new song, it faded and died again.
everytime i try to reset it without being plugged in, it starts to reboot and then fades and dies. when i plug it in through my usb port on the computer, it tries to reboot, shuts down and then tries to reboot again ... over and over again.
anything i can do?! PLEASE!
thanks,

Bump...Anyone?

HT1414 my ipod will not reset after forgetting password

my 15 year old forgot her password an now her ipod want do anything.It just has "ipod is disabled"

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
