Ipod with "apple" on it alternates between bright and dark - can't reset?

I have a 5th generation ipod (30gig) and I just downloaded the most recent (March 23rd) software update.
The screen (with the apple logo in the middle) goes from "light" to "dark" and when it goes to dark the ipod sounds like it wants to close down but it doesn't. It just continues in this bright/dark sequence.
I've tried resetting to no avail.
Can anyone suggest how I deal with this
Thanks

How do I use my iPad with apple tv if my pc crashed and I can't access iTunes to turn on home sharing?

I bought my husband an apple tv for Christmas but his pc crashed. He can't turn on homesharing on his iPad or access the iTunes store except on my computer (and he doesn't want to do that and sync with mine and lose all his data and apps). He wants to be able to use his appletv but it's looking like our only options are to either return it or buy a new computer. Is there a solution?

The iPad only words with it by using it A's AirPlay output

Registering my iPod with apple.

I bought my iPod from a store called Microcenter. I didn't buy a specific warranty there. It was a certified iPod store or what ever I don't know what to call it. But is there a way to register it with Apple so if it breaks or something they can send a new one?

Hi,
the store you bought the iPod at is responsible to handle warranty replacement and repair - at least that holds true in most countries. If you ever need anyone else doing the repair or replacement while the iPod is still under warranty, usually any certified Apple dealer will help you as long as you can produce the original invoice.

Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

Macbook Pro alternates between charging and not charging

Hello,
I have a 15-inch Late 2011 MBP, and the problem that I am currently having, is when I am charging my MBP from a relativly low charge, or when I am charging it as well as running a highly demanding program, the power adapter will get extremely hot to the tuch, and my computer will then alternate between charing and not chargin. When the computer is aternating between charging and not chargin, the light on the Magsafe connector will be orange (like a normal charge), then it will go out (like I unplugged the addapter from the wall), then it will turn green (like when it is fully charged/or when you first connect it to the computer before it startes chargeing), then it will go back to Orange for a few (~10-15 seconds), then it will start the cycle all over again.
         Some side information that might help: This is my second charger for this computer, the cord right behind the Magsafe conector fell apart after a few months; I did however replace if with an Apple 85W power adapter (no offbrand/knockoff). Also, the grounding plug on the extension broke off a while ago, however I did use this same extension (the original that came with my computer) with the original addapter which I had absolutly no problems with (appart from falling appart after a few months).
          I am considering getting a new Extension for my computer, because i beleace that the fact that there is no ground is causing static/buzzing when i use headphones, though I bleave this is not realted to my power adapter problem.
          So, do you think I should just replace the entire addapter and extension? I wanted to ask here first, because I do not want to get a new addapter if it is going to do the same thing again.
          Thanks for any addvice!

First, if your computer is under Applecare, so is your charger. If it is, just take the charger and computer to the Genius Bar and they'll take care of it. If it's not, you still might want to make the trip to the Genius Bar. The eval is free, and you'll find out exactly what your problem is. Not to mention that you're in the right place to buy another one if you need to.

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

I am having same problem with apple tv need 4.4 version and can not find solution this a brand new product out of box yesterday why would it not already have updated version. I am getting frustrated that I can not get this mirroring icon to work. I have tried all suggestions in this thread and nothing works.

The new appletv software came out 2 or 3 days ago, how would Apple get it on the device in the box in a store?
Why don't ou update the appletv software?
