IPod won't turn on, won't turn off and gets frozen on language menu!!!

I have reset my iPod by toggling the Hold switch then holding down the Menu & Select buttons simultaneously for several seconds multiple times....
Now, when my iPod is NOT plugged into the USB connector it will not turn on or do anything. If I toggle the Hold switch to lock then back to unlock, the iPod resets...the apple logo appears then the language menu appears. The iPod "freezes" on the language menu and the click wheel will not turn or make any noise.
And when my iPod IS plugged up to my computer via the USB connector, the iPod cuts on, syncs with iTunes, then goes to the language menu where it becomes "frozen." If I toggle the Hold switch, it "resets" the iPod by showing the apple logo followed by the "Do not Disconnect" icon because it is syncing the iPod again, then goes back to the language menu and "freezes."
Please help! I have restored my iPod twice and checked for new updates, and I cannot get it to do anything...just stays hung up.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, and tried everything to sort it. I've reset 10 times at a time, I've restored on 4 occasions and re formatted the hard drive. It syncs with the computer without any problems, but the dial just won't work.
Have you managed to do anything with it, or are you still locked? If so, what did you do?
Does anyone else have any ideas on what to do?
Thanks,
Lisa

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • HT4859 When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them, even though icloud will delete them from storage?

    When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them?  I know they will not be on icloud storage,
    but will I still have them on my devices?

    Deleting the icloud backup totally is pretty scary.  If my phone accidentally went swimming, I wouldn't be able to restore all the data with icloud.  I was trying to find a way to delete only old backups (which you say do not exist), or if I could just delete the photos from the backup.  I guess I could delete the icloud backup, switch off the camera roll from backing up, and then do an immediate backup of everything else.  What do you think?
    I am not a good apple person.
    Thanks for your help.

  • My iphone 4 was acting up so i turned the fully charged phone off and it won't turn back on

    my iphone 4 was acting up like th escreen wouldnt respond to my tough or the home button
    so i turned the iphone off and the battery was around 95% so i know its not becuase its dead
    and it won't turn back on
    the screen did she the apple logo like it was about to power on but then it went black and hasent done anything since
    i have plugged it in to my ocmputer and the wall charger and have had no luck
    any help??

    Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.
    The, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • WPSM54G won't reconnect after printer being shut off and back on.

    I have a HP Deskjet 2510. It prints well untill I turn the printer off and got to use it the next time. When I turn it on the USB light on the router doesn't even light up. I have to unplug it and plug it back in then it works fine untill next time. The printer is hooked up thru an ethernet connection for 1 computer and wirelessly for another. Same problem with both computers. Any help?

    It might be firmware is already old. Make sure printserver’s firmware is updated. Reset and reconfigure.

  • Wifi won't stay connected after switching phone off and back on

    This does not seem to be the apparently common problem of either dropping wi-fi signal OR losing wi-fi after the phone sleeps.
    I have a 3GS. My wi-fi works fine all day while I'm around the house even with multiple sleep events. However, when I switch off my phone at night and then turn it back on again the next morning, the phone stays on 3G. If I go to the wi-fi settings, it shoes wi-fi is "on" and I can select my network and it will join it right away. It just doesn't rejoin automatically.
    I am not certain about this, but I think this problem may have only started when I recently switched on the "ask to join networks" setting. I have tried turning this off but still the problem remains.
    My wife's 3GS and my son's 4 both stay connected after a switch off and back on, and we are all using the same network.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be most appreciative. With three of us now sharing the cell data plan we are getting very close to the limit each month and want to maximize wi-fi usage.
    Thanks.

  • I have a brand new Ipod nano never been opened. Could I exchange and get money off for ipad at an apple store?

    I have a brand new Ipod nano that has never been opened. It was a gift.  Could I exchange it and get money off for an ipad at an apple store?

    No.  The most you can do is turn it in your a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one.  You would be much better off selling the Nano on Craigslist or eBay and using the profits from that towards the purchase of an iPad.

  • I downloaded a song on Itunes, and then synced it to my Ipod 4th gen. The song duplicated on my Ipod, and the duplicate I'm trying to get rid of won't let me delete it by sliding and getting the red delete button. What can I do?

    Please help!!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • I turned my i pad 2 off and now it wont come back on ?? The spiral is just going around and around , it has been like this for 2 hours ????

    HELP ME MY IPAD 2 IS NOT TURNING BACK ON

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

  • Try to turn on the phone and get a boot up menu

    What is wrong with this iPhone it goes to this boot menu when we try to turn it on

        BrandyAndersen,
    Sorry to hear you are getting a boot menu on your iPhone and cannot power it on. This is an unusual thing for an iPhone to do. Let's see if we can get the device to respond. I would first try to restart the device by pressing and holding both the home button and the power button for 15 seconds and releasing.
    If the device still does not power on the next step would be to use recovery mode to restore your iPhone with iTunes. Unfortunately, this does erase your phone but at least it would be possible to get the iPhone working again. Here are the instructions: http://bit.ly/1qPfoNt .

  • I just recently purchased my macbook pro about two months ago and just now right after i turned it on it shut off and it wont turn back on or even charge. it was fully charged this morning. What happened?

When i came back home i turned my computer back on , entered my password and it shut off . i tried turning it back onbut it wont turn back on and neither woul it charge . Its not turning on and its not charging.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like the logic board has failed, but first try a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it does not work, take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. You will get the MacBook repaired for free

  • Lid won't latch - powerbook won't wake from sleep, must power off and on -

    the catch on the lid of this 12" Powerbook G4 does not come out when the lid is closed; it can be brought out with a small tool. what is going on? the computer does not wake from sleep eitherl, must be turned off with power button and then turned on. If only the display is set to sleep, then it wakes up as expected. Are the two related? Is this a case for resetting the Power Management Unit, I could not be sure from the Apple article.

    Bob:
    Try starting up in Safe Mode, logging into your account, emptying Trash, then rebooting normally. I have found this helpful when I have had sleep problems with my Pismo.
    Is this a case for resetting the Power Management Unit,
    Wouldn't hurt to try.
    In terms of your latch, it is likely a mechanical problem. When the tongue is pulled out try putting a very small amount of lubricant on the tongue and working it back and forth.
    Good luck.
