IPod with 7.0.1.8 iTunes - Broken, restoring won't fix it.

Hey guys, thanks for reading:
2 questions:
1) My Ipod isn't cooperating with the new version. It is a 4 gig Black Nano, and it's in recovery mode. When I go to restore it, it detects a corrupt iPod and asks me to restore again. Should I do something in particular? I've tried the 5 R's and nothing.
2) If it's busted and I'm still on my applecare plan (I've taken impecably good care of it for 300 days), what do I do to replace it if possible?

if the nano is otherwise behaving perfectly fine (no strange icons/messages on the screen, plays properly), it's possible that the recovery mode message is being generated by a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions for that:

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
TIA
Brandy

Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
Thanks again!

I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.

Updating iPOD with a song without using iTunes

Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to:-
1) Connect an iPOD to a computer
2) Automatically add a song to the iPOD from the computer
3) Disconnect the iPOD once the song has been added and synced.
This system must work with multiple iPODs, hence the need to bypass iTunes.
Is it possible?
iPod Windows XP Pro

Hi,
The machine the iPods connect to will be owned by different people.
The goal is to add a chosen MP3 to each iPOD as it is docked with the computer and then, once disconnected, the MP3 will be shown on the iPOD.
Thanks for getting back to me,
John

IPOD With Click Wheel Crashes everytime ITUNES update

Every time Itunes asks me to update to a newer version the ipod becomes unstable and eventually shuts down. This time was the worst. Does anyone know if itunes 7 is incompatible with the click wheel. And what about Internet Explorer 7. It seems strange that everytime it crashes. This time was the worst. Spent many hours trying to restore the ipod. Eventually had to delete itunes and ipod from computer and reinstall with original disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

An archive and install won't affect any software on your computer. I assume you've seen all these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.

How can I replace all music on my iPod with the music in my iTunes Library?

My iPod Touch (5th Generation) contains all the music that I purchased on iTunes with my previous iPod. I managed to transfer all music, including those from CDs, from my old iPod onto iTunes (newest version), so I figured that I would sync my iPod to retrieve them. However, every time I sync my iPod with my music library, I get duplicates of the purchases that my iPod contains, but not of those from CDs. When I go onto the "Music" section in my iPod, no items are shown. I have all the music that I want sorted out in my iTunes Library, so I want to replace only the music on my iPod with the music in the Library. How do I do this, or at least delete the music on my iPod (but not iTunes) so I can sync the entire music library later?

Correction: The music on my iPod doesn't show up in the "Music" section in "iPod" in iTunes.

HOW CAN I GET ITUNES TO ACCEPT MY IPOD WITH MAC GENERATED MUSIC WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTORE IT AND LOOSING ALL MEDIA??

MY IPOD XMAS GIFT HAS MUSIC GENERATED ON A MAC. ITUNES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT ON MY PC WITH WINDOWS 8.1 UNLESS IT IS RESTORED WHICH ITUNES STATES WILL WIPE OUT ALL EXISTING +1000 TUNES. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE?

Hey JIM2209,
Thanks for the question. You can transfer certain types of media from your iPod to a new iTunes library. These include music, movies and TV shows that were purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have music imported from a CD or other source, iTunes can’t transfer this media back to a computer:

- Back up your iTunes library or use iTunes Match.

Can I restore my new ipod touch without itunes having internet connection? or Can I restore the ipod with the internet and no itunes?

Currently in the dessert and have access to a computer that has internet capability, but can not get itunes. I also have my computer from home, but I can not get internet connection to it for various reasons. My computer from home has itunes and all my music. What can I do to set up this new Ipod touch?

You need an internet connection using iTunes to restore the iPod.

My ipod gives me the message " Use Itunes to restore " What do i do?

I gave it to someone for servicing, not only did he not do the job but now it comes back with this message " Use Itunes to restore "

Sorry, what is the iPod Software version as shown in iTunes summary page? (1.1.2 or 2.0.4)
According to this post, earlier version of iPods cant paly Rented Movies
https://discussions.apple.com/message/6555233#6555233
Only SD movies can be played in most iPod, so select the Rented movie in iTunes, GetInfo and see it matches other movies that can play in your iPod.
So using iTunes, converting the Rented Movies to iPod version may work.
There have been reports in these discussion pages that iTunes 10.6 does gives problems with New movies download, if you have the latest iPod Classic software 2.0.4, but downgrading back to 10.5 may help.
Have a nice day!

Whats up with the latest version of itunes. It won't let me down load songs to my shuffle.

Ever since I updated the latest itunes 10, I,ve had problems with my Ipod shuffle. Itunes syncs with it (all but slowly) but then won't let me replace songs on it. Restored it to factory settings. Tried my partners shuffle. Same problem so I gather the problem is with the latest version of itunes. Anyone else experiencing these problems? If so, any help would be much appreciated. Starting to get severly ****** of with it. Even considering going to another music store.

Hey B-rock,
the only messages I get is when I try to download songs from my library. It comes up saying " a number of errors occured when trying to download the music" but it does not tell me what those errors are.
Initially when my shuffle was full and I tried to replace the songs with new ones, it would go really slowly then show that only four or five songs had been downloaded. When I disconnected my shuffle and played it, it still had all the original songs on it. I tried to restore my shuffle to original factory settings but it would not let me. I then reloaded my original ipod restorer off disc and this has removed everything off my shuffle. I then uninstalled itunes then reinstalled but still have the same initial problems.
I've got itunes to automatically sync with the ipods which it does successfully but thats as far as it goes.

Ipod Constantly asking to connect to itunes after Restore

My Ipod Touch, 4th Gen, had a white screen, so following help on the forum I connected it to my Windows PC I went on itunes and Restored it. When I did, it went through the factory reset process and then... Black. The screen was black for 10 minutes after the apple loading screen went, so I unplugged it and nothing appeared on itunes. Going back to the ipod, I tried holding down all indvidual buttons with no success. Holding down the combinations, I just keeps going back to the usb pointing at itunes.
If you could help, that'd be great

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

IPod touch will no longer sync with my music library on iTunes since restoring to factory settings

I had to restore the ipod when it locked my son out as he'd forgotten the passcode.
I have around 1000 songs in my music library on itunes. Sync all songs is checked, but it saying there are 0 songs.
I'd like to sync all songs to the ipod. Can anyone help please?

Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod. And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod. That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
NOTE: If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

I want to sync the songs on my Mac to my iPod, but it says An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.' Will this reset my iPod completely?

Was your iPod associated with a different mac or pc previously is all. And was it backed up or sync'd on this mac with iTunes previously.
