Ipod wont stay opened after 4.0 software download

After I downloaded the 4.0 software my iPod stopped working. The app will stay open for a few seconds and then shut down. It does it every time. The new update didn't help a thing. Anyone else having this problem? Anybody know what to do?

You still have not answered: Have you tried a reset? You should try this before a restore.
". If I backup my phone and then restore will I be able to install the backup?"
Yes, but if the problem persists then you would need to restore as new.
"and if so will all my apps still be there?"
They should be in itunes on your computer, so you would just re-sync them if need be.

Ipod wont stay connected and icon disappears from finder

I have a new 80g video ipod, have had it for about three weeks. Up until today all was fine, but now it won't stay connected to itunes after updating files. It connects, shows up on the desk top for a few seconds, updates any new files and then just drops out. It keeps the do not disconnect screen for a few seconds, then the red warning logo disappears and after that i can not do anything with the ipod in itunes. The ipod music list is greyed out and I can't add any new photos or change anything. The only thing I have done differently since it was last working ok was I connected my camera using the camera connector and uploaded some pictures from that.
I have done a reset and now a restore but that hasn't helped.
is the problem with the ipod or itunes? What can I do?

Sorry, this may be a case of "always read the manual first"!
I think that what I thought was a fault with the ipod was in fact due to the default preference for auto syncing being enabled. As I had my previous ipod set to manual update I was used to being able to make changes to the ipods lists whilst connected, but as my new ipod is still set to automatically sync I now realise that this is why the ipods list was greyed out. In this mode it appears that it is usual that as soon as you connect, itunes updates any changes and then disconnects and the red "do not disconnect" screen on the ipod goes. If there were no new additions or changes to playlists made since the last time you connected, the sync will only take a few seconds and then the ipod screen goes back to the menu list. Also, because in auto sync the ipod will be updated with a copy of your itunes contents, the ipod's list is greyed out due to the fact that you are not able to make changes independently from your itunes list. (i.e. you have to make the changes in itunes in order for these to be replicated on the ipod).
In order to keep connected and be able to alter things on the ipod list you have to have the preference set to manually update. Then the ipods contents are not greyed out and you can add, delete and change playlists without doing this in your main itunes on the computer.
So I think I have answered my own question, unless I am still misunderstanding something here, and the moral is, download and read the manual properly before worrying that there is something wrong with the machine!
I still think its a bit weird that the ipod icon disappears from he desktop though as I thought it would be at least recognised as being attached even if not in disc mode. Should it still show in the finder anyway?

Ipod touch wont stay connected at home

Ipod touch 5th gen wont stay connected to wifi at home while it is locked. this inhabits me from getting alerts when i want them most, at home. it stays connected the the server at school and at all my friends houses, but not mine here at home. i did the network reset on my ipod and it still disconnects. any ideas?

Power off and then back on your router
Get a new router.
Since it only happens with your home network that indicates a problem with your home network

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont stay connected to wi-fi what can i do ?

As title says my ipod doesnt stay connected, it will disconnect from it so i would have to go to settings and choose the wifi i want and i would have to repeat this process over and over. Also when i use safari it will happen a few times but then it would stop so me using safari somehow makes my ipod stay connected to wifi.
(sorry if some things i say dont make sense or if i didnt type a certain word right my english is kinda bad).

Start with a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the reset doesn't help, go here for heavy-duty assistance.
Post back with results.

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

Screen wont stay lit up can i fix this already tried reseting it solved problem but returned

If you stillhave the problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Itunes purchase wont stay off my phone

I'm running iOS 7 on an iPhone 5s. Old song purchases wont stay off of my phone. I've unselected 'show all songs', 'automatic download', etc... I've logged off from iTunes app, and re-logged on. This technique has made the songs "go away", but once I shuffle songs or connect to bluetooth, these songs reappear. I cannot figure this out. Any hints?

Hello simplyamazingyu,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
iTunes may prompt you with a software license agreement. If you click Agree, iTunes will download the iOS software file (.ipsw file) before restoring.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
Best of luck,
Mario

MY IPOD WONT EVEN BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY MY PC

Every time i go ahead and plug my ipod in it doesnt do anything. It just stays on the menu and my computer doesnt acknowledge it either. Sometimes my ipod makes like a clicking sound like its about to do soemthing but then it doesnt. I dont understand because my ipod plays and charges perfectly fine and it used to work fine and i havent changed anything on my computer. I think its a second generation ipod ( the that has no clicker wheel and the four buttons on top of the wheel)
Ive tried to restore it but the ipod doesnt appear there either. I also tried the device manager, not there, and i tried putting into disk mode, which it did at first, even thought it didnt show up on the computer, but now when i try disk mode the ipod wont do it. Tried resetting it like a billion times and it always makes that clicking noise like its trying to do something, but it never does. One time when i plugged it in a bubble popped up on my computer that said something about new hardware that needed to be reformatted or didnt work or something. But that never happened again. And i tried the diff USB port thing that didnt work either.
I'm desperate for suggestions if anybody has any- im dying to update my ipod!! its been like this for months now! sorry for blabbing on about my problems for so long.
Help would be greatly appreciated!!
THANK YOU

hmmmm. let's quickly check on this to begin with:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Ipod wont do anything.

My ipod wont do anything! I go to turn it on and it just stays on the apple logo screen, and I can't do anything. When i plug it into the computer it still just stays at the apple logo. The ipod dont show up in itunes or on my desktop. I tried reseting it and it turns of and then comes right back on and freezes on the apple screen. After being plugged into the computer for awhile it will go to that little disc thingy with the bar at the bottom loading, which means its checking for whats wrong and stuff but after its done it shows the disc with a little checkmark by it. Anyway please help!

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work
