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.
Matt

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.

You'll need to connect your iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. i rest my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do I do??
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

For the future, saying you tried everything provides use with zero info as to what you did try. If you really tried everything then there is no way we could help -

How do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all music already on ipod?
how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod
Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

what the heck dude? That only works for ipod shuffles and not for ipod touch. U cant use itunes to copy non-purhased songs from ipod touch to pc. u have to use a 3rd party application like syncios to do so. -
Ipod wont connect to comp/itunes
my ipod wont connect to my comp/ charge via usb
we have two different usb's so im pretty sure they arent the problem (they work with the wall charger but not the computer)
im not very computer smart so dont expect much knowledge on my part : )
we've connected with the comp before, but it just stopped connectingBack up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext
Heres the instructions on how to un install iTunes

TS1398 ipod wont connect to public wifi?
My iPod wont connect to public wifi, but it connects to my home wifi without a problem? how do i fix this??
I believe I may have solved this
When you can't log into public WiFi ...
with an iDevice…
because the Server times out ...
or the login/registration page just won't load ...
********Simply do this***********
Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
Now go back and reselect the network.
If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
Bingo!
I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
Peace y'all

TS1424 My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to buy an app what do I do?
My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to get an app when I go to enter my password it says it can't connect to iTunes Store. What do I do?
Don't worry a lot of people, including me, are having this problem. I think it's a problem going on at Apple's end, hopefully it will be up soon.
