IPod Won't Even Load - Please Help

The other day I plugged my iPod up and loaded iTunes, to find I needed an update. I proceeded to update my iPod only to be told [By iTunes] for some odd reason it needed to be restarted. For some reason it won't restart and everytime I go to start my iPod up, it loads the Apple logo and just stays there. I've manually tried to restart it numerous times, and it won't do so. I plugged it into my computer to have a message appear reading 'very low battery, please wait'. I've been waiting for almost 2 hours now. It goes from the 'very low batter, please wait' screen to the glowing Apple logo. It's been going back in forth every minute or so for the past 2 hours. Please, please help!

Hello Everyone,
Although this resolution seems ingenious I must let you know that exposing your iPod to freezing temperatures can cause serious harm and it will void your warranty. Please see the following excerpt from the iPod Safety Guide available at Apple.com.
Keeping iPod within acceptable temperatures
Operate iPod in a place where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod play time might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
Store iPod in a place where the temperature is always between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPod or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod to get warm. The exterior of iPod functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Have a great day!

Then i did it again it was at 20% again and then i walked out of the room for less than a minute and it was back at around 80% but it wasnt plugged in to anything.

    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.

  • ITunes won't even open, please help!

    iTunes used to open when I turned on my PC but now will not open at all. I cannot access any music files or even use iTunes as a media played for cd's or anything. Everytime I try to open iTunes I get an error message that reads:
    "The iTunes Music Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"
    this just recently started happening, yesterday actually. I've tried updating iTunes, unsuccessful. Please assist!!!

    hi lotus!
    "The iTunes Music Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"
    first check to see if the library file has been set to "Read Only":
    What are the iTunes Library files?
    but if no joy with that, head to the following KB doc:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    keep us posted.

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I suspect you have a hardware problem.

  • The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

    For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

    Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

  • Flash accidentally got uninstalled from my pc laptop (Chrome), and now won't even load websites so I can't download it.  Can I copy it from my desktop?  Or how do I get it back onto my laptop?

    Hi micha164,
    I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
    Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
    Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
    Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

    Millionaire and friends game not loading! Please help! I have tried restarting the device &amp; deleting the app and trying to reload but nothing works? I also tried to email the creators of the app but the email address for tech support bounced back to me so its obviously not a good email??

    I tried to email the developer (Canada) but the email for technical support is not a good email. My email got returned to me undeliverable? Not sure what to do next? I also want to get the game going again cause I made purchases to get more coins to play the game &amp; now I can't even use it? Very frustrating!!!
