Ipod will not work anymore

My ipod says: Use iTunes to restore
I have plugged it in to the computer and nothing shows up on my computer. I have tried the suggested things it says to do and nothing works.

I would try and get the iPod into Disk Mode. You can learn how to do that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If you are able to get it into Disk Mode, you should be able to get it to show up in iTunes, and then you can restore it.
Hope I helped! Good luck!

Try:

- 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.

Both cameras on my iPod touch generation 4 will not work anymore. Is there a way I can send it back to get it fixed? Thank you ..

Both cameras (front/back) will not work anymore. I would tap on the camera app, and the camera shutters would stay closed for a while and when it finally opens, it leaves a full blank screen. Is there a way I could send it in and get that repaired?

if not then how do i use the unlimited data ive been given through my mobile network provider please tell me most kindly Purchase a mobile WiFi hotspot (Sometimes referred to as a MyFi), or have that service added to your cell phone.
geeeeesar also how does this ipod touch4 pick up the wifi free of charge is this possible or do you have to pay for limited data to access internet Your iPod can connect to any unsecured WiFi network that you are currently within range of. These networks can be found at your local library, some city/county government buildings, doctor's offices, Denny's, IHOP, Starbuck's, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, and other merchants. Your iPod can connect to any secured WiFi network that you are within range of and that you have the password for.
thanks can i pod touch 4 generation download movies too please help thank u very much.... Yes. If your iPod has a WiFi connection and you have an account with a service like NetFlix....

I updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this

i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on

My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on, I have to plug it in then shut it off for it to charge. And when I connect it to the computer [Or any computer] It Says it cannot recognize the device..I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this...and I don't know if I should call apple or go back to where I bought it and ask for help?..

Saying everthing is not helpful. Did "everthing" include:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode:

Older ipod will not work under itunes11

My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

One more to the list of people that suddenly the Ipod is not working anymore. It does not turn on, I read some of the ideas, I can see that is something that comes from apple somebody could solve it or should we unitforces to demand a solution from apple?

My Ipod is not working, It was working find and suddenly it does not turn on anymore. It does not responde when it is plugged in. I can see it is not the first case, somebody has received an answer that works? Some similarities in the ipods? thanks for your help.

Have you tried a reset?

Ipod will not work off charger

My ipod works fine while on the charger but when off it just will not work, I have to let it sit 2 days for it to work again on the charger so what is it

I just got help from the Apple Support on this. This just happened to me and thought I would share the solution. Hope you have saved all your iPod data because you have to restore all data.
Step 1: Toggle the on/off hold switch and then restart (center and menu together) until the screen goes blank.
Step 2: Immediately, while the screen is blank, hold the center and pause/play. That turns the iPod in disk mode.
Step 3: Plug in your iPod into your computer to restore it.
Problem solved...

IPod will not work with docking stations

My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
Any ideas??

2nd gen ipod will not work or neither of 2 computers will recognize it

My Daughters nano 2nd gen just stopped working, it will not do anything, "froze" up solid as she says.
I have gone through the "5Rs" but nothing will make the ipod show any life and nothing seems able to make the computer see the ipod. I can't do the "restore" option because the computer needs to acknowledge the ipod to complete that step.
I have 2 computers and neither computer recognizes the ipod at all. i have read all the troubleshooting tips, all the tips in the discussions any other suggestions, we are 4 hours away from an "Apple Store"
I am really new to this iPod world, and it appears there is nothing to friendly about it when it comes to this,

I am also having a similar problem when i try to connect my ipod it comes up with the error message "the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes to install the ipods software."
i ran itunes diagnostics and it said that itunes helper is not running.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes many times doing the full uninstall as outlined on the support page. I have also tried installing an older version of itunes but this did not work either. I checked msconfig and ituneshelper.exe is selected to load at startup but when i check task manager it is not there.
Is there any way to fix this problem. I have been trying for two whole days to sort this. I have tried the ipod on other computers and it works fine so i am certain there is nothing wrong with the ipod.

2 iPods will not work on my computer, what is wrong? (please help)

Okay, so I bought a refurbished 40gb iPod on ebay about 3 weeks ago. When I got it, I plugged it in, it came on, iTunes opened up and asked me what I wanted to name the iPod. I name it, then it starts to sync. It brings over my folders from iTunes, then says "copying song 1 of 143..." Then it just stops and says "you may disconnect your iPod", but none of the songs have been copied.
I tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in, and now it gives an error message saying "the iPod may be corrupted, you should restore..." I try to restore it and the restoration fails because of an "unknown error". I've tried using different USB ports, tried resetting the iPod, gone through the 5Rs, even updated the digital signatures in XP. NO DICE.
Now when I plug the iPod in, windows says it's an unrecognized device. I reset it which fixed that problem, but iTunes still can't deal with it. It keeps saying it's corrupted and to restore it but restoration fails.
I tried it on my other comp (also an XP box), and iTunes said it was synced to another computer, do you want to erase it and sync it to this computer, etc. etc. I did so, and once again, it brings over the folders but no songs will copy. Then the nonsense with the errors starts all over again and it refuses to let me restore it.
I returned the first iPod to the guy and he sent me another one and it's doing the EXACT same thing as the first. iPod seems fine otherwise, wheel works fine, it charges normally, shows 37.1 GB free space on the iPod screen. But refuses to work. "the ipod could not be restored" error 1418, and all that. I can't even format it under windows.
Any suggestions? I've tried everything I know of except for uninstalling iTunes 7 and going back to 6.

You haven't mentioned re-registering the DLL's in windows xp which is the suggested fix on Windows XP for ipod's doing this.
Disconnect the iPod from the computer and close iTunes.
Copy the 10 lines below (highlight and ctrl+c or right-click and copy)
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
Open notepad:
1. Start>Run
2. Type 'notepad'
3. Hit return
Paste the text into notepad (ctrl+v or right-click and paste)
Save the file as registerdll.bat on your desktop
Close notepad
Doubleclick the registerdll.bat file on the desktop
A command prompt will appear and these items will be processed. When it is finished you can delete the batch file.
See if it then syncs okay.

What do I do my Ipod is not working anymore?

okay so about less than a year ago my iPods screen broke and I paid $100 to get a refurbished one, so now it's been a while and it's not working properly anymore. I need to touch things several times before it can open the app, also the music app is not working I already tried everything possible even changed it back to factory settings but it's still the same. So now the problem is I want to change my ipod, yes I bought the 2 year warranty AppleCare but I have not transferred the warranty to the refurbished ipod so I need to figure that out. thanks any help is appreciated.

The AppleCare should have transferred automatically. Check you coverage here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
If not transfered then you have to contact Apple
Contacting Apple for support and service
Since you said yo restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Ipod will not work anymore
