Ipod wont connect to computer and constantly says ok to disconnect

Hey, please help!! my ipod nano wont connect with my computer and when i plug it in the 'ok to disconnect' screen comes up with a black tick. I've tried eveything the website says and the trouble is because it can't connect to the computer i cant restore it or take it out of disk mode ( which it is apparently in). PLEASE HELP!!!

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

  • Ipod wont connect to computer for erase/restore

    I connect my ipod mini to the computer and I try to erase/restore it but i can't because as soon as the ipod comes up in my computer, the ipod restarts, breaking the connection, so i cannot reformat it.
    I have downloaded the ipod updater but it won't work cause the ipod wont connect for more than a split second.
    I have put the ipod in diognostic mode to see what the problem is, but nothing seems to be wrong.
    I think I have spent the last month looking on the interent for ways to fix the problem, but i have not yet found a solution.
    I don't know what to do!
    Please help!
    please don't just write oh yeah i have the same problem unlucky for us.
    I really do need help! :$
    Please get back to me soon.

  • Ipod Shuffle wont connect to computer and i cannot charge it.

    My ipod shuffle charges via the computer and my computer is not recognizing the ipod and neither is itunes. I have treid all your 5 steps and its still not working, i cannot "RESET" it because my ipod isnt being recognised at all!!
    Help please.

    They're not -my- five steps. They are, however, a useful start to troubleshooting iPod issues. Unfortunately, since Resetting iPod shuffle doesn't require the use of a computer, or require that the shuffle be recognized by your computer, I really don't know what you've done so far.
    Here are some other things to try. iPod missing from My Computer A number of the things in this list won't be applicable to the shuffle, of course.
    Good luck

  • HT1212 Please help! My Ipod wont connect to Itunes and has a thing I have never seen on the screen before.

    When I plug in my Ipod touch it has a symbol on it saying connect to Itunes. When I connect it to Itunes it says I need to unlock my Ipod before I can connect to Itunes but my Ipod touch wont even let me put a code in, it just has that symbol. I tried uninstalling Itunes and restarting the computer then installing Itunes again but nothing changed. I have never heard of this before so I don't know what to do!
