Ipod Wont Respond in windows after disco

I recently had my Ipod plugged into my Windows XP box. As I was transfering files from the harddrive to the PCs harddrive via windows explorer, my 1 y/o came and forcibly disconnected the Ipod from the computer. Naturally, all the transfered were disrupted. However, now when I plug in the ipod into the computer, My Computer registers the removable harddrive, but not the ipod (when the ipod is plugged, it displays Ipod, but when I disco it thru iTunes, it just says Removable Harddrive, in My Computer)
Since the Ipod portion of the harddrive isnt being seen, I cant see it in iTunes either. Whats worse, is I cant access any of the files on the harddrive of the Ipod (It hangs when I try to open it or right-click it)
Any thought people? Thanks!

Same kinda thing happened to my ipod except it was
the 1st time I conected so I never finished instaling
the ipod. Windows is just saying "USB Devise Not
Recognized" Anyone know if and how I can fix this? or
do I need to take it somewhere to be fixed?
I went through the same **** just the other night. In my enthusiasm to get my Ipod video up and running, I plugged in my Ipod BEFORE I installed the software- even though the disc has a very clear sticker stating "Install software before connecting Ipod". I have no patience.
So then I got the USB Device Not Recognized message after the install. ARRGH!! After hours of trying to find drivers, software updates, fully charging the ipod, etc, here's what I did:
I reset the Ipod (connect ipod to computer, set Hold switch to Hold, then turn it off again, press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears). It worked! I was able to complete the install because suddenly Windows recognized the Ipod device.
The quick start manual indicates that you should reset the Ipod if the Ipod isn't responding, NOT if Windows isn't recognizing it. They should update their troubleshooting portion of the quick start guide. Hope this helps!

Ipod wont respond

The click wheel on my ipod mini wont respond at all. I cant reset it or do anything using the click wheel. I have tried updating my software and even completly restoring the ipod to no effect. I have no idea what could be wrong with it please help.

make sure the hold button isn't on, and then hold the centre button and menu button down until you see the apple logo. if that fails, use the hold switch and flick it on and off until the apple logo appears.

Ipod Wont Respond! Help!

Ive had my Ipod since last christmas, so almost a year. my warranty is about to expire too..anyway. I was listening to my music as usual and i was using shuffle. I pressed >> so i could skip some songs, then my ipod stpped playing my songs (showing the song on screen, but then just went to the next, paused, went ot the next without playing) it then just shut off and it wont turn back on. I was on half battery and i really dont knwo what to do. the hold button was off, i tried to chrage but it wont respond, help!

On December 20th 2005 my iPod Clickwheel [4th Gen] (40G) failed, the built-in self-diagnostic routines telling me that there was a hard disk failure. I called Apple and was informed that I would have to pay £169 to get the device “repaired” (actually what I would be doing is purchasing a refurbished iPod). £169 is 61.5% of the price I paid the AppleStore in September 2004, some 15 months earlier.
In speaking to customer relations, I pointed out that I have purchased lots of other hardware and software all from the AppleStore over the past two years including three Macs each with AppleCare plans and I’ve been a .Mac member since its inception. None of this made any difference.
Macintouch have completed surveys that make it clear that, in their own words, “. . . the iPod 40G ClickWheel is a lemon”

Ipod wont reset, turns off after pausing

My Ipod Mini will start playing songs when music is selected from the menu but if the song is paused, it pauses but when you try to play the song again, the song plays for 2 or 3 seconds then the ipod turns off. Also after the music is started then the hold is put on, the screen goes blank again and music stops. I tried to reset it to no avail. When I disconnect it from my computer I right click on the ipod button then eject so I dont think that is the problem. Please help if possible.

You may want to reveiw the iPod service web page at: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
You may also request service from that page as well.

IPod not recognized by windows after iTunes update

After my iTunes 6.0 update, my computer (running on Windows XP) suddenly won't recognize my iPod. It says "Does not recognize USB device," and "no driver found". When I connect my iPod to my laptop (which still has iTunes 4.0 installed) it is recognized fine. What should I do? There are some songs on my PC that I do not have on my iPod, and I don't want to lose them by completely uninstalling iTunes. Help!

Oddest thing happened...I have actually redownloaded iTunes and clicked repair before, and it didn't work. But I just did it again and suddenly my computer recognized the iPod again. It did give me some kind of error talking about how the playlist count was corrupted, but that doesn't bother me very much since I can connect and update again.

My ipod wont respond to iTunes

For some reason my ipod works perfect on its own, but as soon as i plug it into my computer i dont get a response from it. It doesnt even turn itself on, and i have to open iTunes by clicking the icon on the desktop. What is wrong?

Oh by the way incase anyone asks, i'm using windows. Its fully charged (from the ipod hifi) and works on the hifi and with the ear phones, but when i plug it into my computer it doesnt respond and itunes doesnt automatically start or seem to recognise the ipod. I really cant find out whats wrong, please help...

IPod wont sync to laptop after installing newer itunes update

I installed an itunes update and after restarting my computer it would not sync at all. Also when plugged into my computer it no longer showed up as "Jims iPod" but just "Apple iPod" under devices where i cannot edit it in anyway. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it then getting the message " iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because of a newer version of iTunes" i did some tinkering (renamed itunes library as library.itl" and iTunes was able to open again however still couldnt sync. WHAT DO I DO? I have tried everything and its not appearing in iTunes at all.

Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

IPod wont respond to reset or to plugging in

My iPod suddenly stopped responding. It´s turned off and will not respond to being plugged into the wall or into my computer. It won´t restart.

Ipod wont Turn back on after being restarted.

I was listening to music on my ipod,then all of a sudden it froze on me,so i pressed the home and lock button to restart it,it went off but now it is not coming back on it just keeps coming up with the apple symbol,i tried connecting it to itunes but that hasnt't done anything,it said there was a 'invalid response' Please help me!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Yet another problem; iPod not recognized in windows after uninstall

So I'm still trying to fix my faulty iPod and now, after Apple telling me to uninstall and re-install the USB software, it is not recognized, when I plug my iPod in it comes up "installing software" then asks for a disk, thing is I was not given a disk with my iPod and I don't think iPod touch uses a disk either anyway.
This is really irritating as I think I have a solution to my original problem and now it's doing this...
Any help ?

Thank you
I actually managed to fix it this way;
My laptop (Advent Roma) decided to freeze all USB ports so after restoring my laptop back to how it was on the 27th (Last week) I re-installed iTunes and put my iPod cable back in, it installed again but this time appeared in iTunes, it still won't restore but I'm glad it's recognized again

Format of ipod classic is still windows after i plug into mac?

I bought a new Mac I have an ipod classic I have followed the tutorial on how to move my music from my old pc to my mac but it doesnt work. Why does my format still show windows why my old ipod is plugged in to new mac??

You need to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes on the Mac for it to be reformatted to a Mac iPod. Otherwise, the Mac will continue to use the iPod with a Windows fomatted HD, since a Mac can read and write to a FAT32 formatted hard drive.

Ipod wont connect to imac after i upgraded to OS 10.6.8

my one Ipod touch ( 4th Gen) will not connect to my imac, noticed this happened after i upgraded to snow leopard OS 10.6.8, my other ipod nano works fine and is seen in my finder and in Itunes, the Ipod touch does work on my PC laptop with no problems but my library is on my Imac so it doesnt help me.
I went through the entire diagnostic that apple support gave me, but no luck.

So you tried everything here?

Ipod wont respond to computer

Here's the situation:
When I plug my ipod fifth gen into my computer, nothing happens. I have a 2.0 USB port but it's not anything new. It used to work but recently it just stopped. When I plug it into the slower USB port, it all seems to respond but I have had problmes with that port in the past. I don't think it's a problem with the actual port because the mouse is plugged into it. Please help me out.

Plug it into the 2.0 port, wait a few moments, and reset the ipod while it is connected to the computer. If no response, leave ipod connected about 10 minutes and try to reset it again. You may want to try the reset a few times.

Ipod wont respond in any way shape or form

I have the 1st generation Ipod touch but it has softwares updates, the latest until th point that i couldnt not update no more. if im not incorrect its the 3.1.2? maybe im not sure anyways. The other day i had it at under 20% when i needed to do somethng urgent on it and then it shut off(because of low battery) then i tried to turn it on again and opened Safari before it completely died again. The next morning i plugged it in and it just went to the black screen with the Gray Apple Logo on it and then it just turned off again, not showing the normal Battery charging picture or anything. I tried everything and nothing worked, switched the cables, tried charging it with my Xbox, another Computer messed with the only two buttons that are available and nothing helped. Today the situation worsened as now it wont even turn to the black screen with gray Apple logo. How can i possibly fix this by myself? Any sugestions? I would truely truely truely truely appreiated it if you some way to fix this. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Well my friend im sure this is the answer you wanted but, I think that it has died. You can try to take it to the genius bar but i think they will tell you the same thing. Technology ages. The processor built in wasnt designed to proccess iOS 3.x.x or above. It dosent have enough power to do so and it can overload and die.
