Ipod Wont stop Resetting

I think I wrongly disconnected my new 60Gb Gen 5. It wont stop resetting itself every 5 seconds, I tried many times resetting it by pressing Menu,center button for a few secs. Please help! I did try reinstalling Itunes as well, it wont recognize the never-stop resetting Ipod.

Sounds like the ipods software got corrupt. Reset it and TRY to set it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Since its reseting itself over and over it might be alittle hard, but just wait til you see the unlighted apple logo and QUICKLY hit and hold Center and play/pause like the link I've posted says.
If you get it in disk mode, you need to restore it with ipod updater 06-28-2006. If you do not have this ipod updater it can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Restore will wipe the ipod clean, and they suggest anything thats not on the PC you try to get off the ipod and onto the PC before restoring. Being the ipod is resetting over and over I doubt you can get anything off it, Put if you want to try post back BEFORE restoring the ipod

  • HELP!!!! iPod wont stop resetting!!!

    So today I went somewhere with my family and my iPod died out on me. When I resetted it while in the car, it showed a picture of a little sad iPod with "x's" for the eyes and an exclamation mark next to it. I thought by simply recharging it, the problem would be solved. When I got home and I recharged it for a bout twenty minutes on an iHome dock, I pulled it off the charger. Then it just started resetting itself over and over and over again until the battery died. I plugged it in my computer and a screen showed up on the iPod that said, "Please wait. Very low battery." It has a little wheel type thing that is moving which means it's not frozen. But it's been on 'low battery' for the past 7 hours when it only takes an iPod to be fully charged in 4 hours. When I unplugged it from the USB, it started to continuously reset again without me holding down the required buttons. HELP ANYONE?!?

    I was reading that article earlier in the evening. However, it didn't really help much. I think I probably just need to take it in to the Apples store or something to get it checked out.

  • Iphone wont stop resetting itself

    for some reason my iphone 4 wont stop trying to reset itself..tried turning off, nothing. tried pressing both buttons for 10 seconds, nothing. plugged into mains, after a while tells you to connect to itunes, so I connect then it just tries to reset itself again...help.

    Are you able to restore from backup?
    If you are and the problem continue, restore as new.
    If neither of those work, you have a hardware issue and will need to either visit a Genius bar or send it in for service.    

  • IPod wont stop "Determining Song Volume"

    I haven't had the "Sound Check" button selected ever. I've checked 3 times since this started and it still isn't checked. How can I stop this from happenening whenever I connect my iPod?
    Thanks for the help!

    To turn off your iPod: press and hold the "PLAY/PAUSE" button for a few seconds.
    If it doesn't work, then reset your iPod a few times (click here), click around on the menus a bit, then try shutting it off with the play/pause button.

  • IPod wont stop shuffling,track 'x' of 'x' missing,and no time elapsed bar?

    I have an iPhone 3GS running OS 4.3.1. For some reason, a few updates back, I noticed that my music was playing differently on the iPod.
    Firstly, there used to be a bar at the top of the screen when a track was playing to show how far through the tranc you were. It also allowed you to fast forward and rewind through the track. This has gone.
    Also, along with the bar, it would tell you that track 'X' of 'X' was playing so you would know how many you had listened too and how many tracks were left. This too has gone.
    One last issue. My songs dont play in album order. It seems to shuffle and I have no idea how to stop this. Any suggestions for all 3 issues? Cheers.

    Tap the now playing screen to display the additional song controls. Tap again to hide them. When the additional song controls are showing, tap the shuffle control to turn shuffle on or off. Blue is shuffle on, white is shuffle off.

  • Ipod wont boot/reset/shutdown

    Hi!
    3 days ago i discovered that my ipod wouldnt boot. I tried everything, Menu+Select for 1min, recharging the reset, connecting to my computer, connecting to recharger, and nothing. It seems dead, because the display does not show anything and it does not respond at all.
    The only thing i can hear from the ipod is this ticking sound(not from the headphones) that's annoying me now for 3whole days. tick,tick,tick,tick and so on from the bottom connector.
    I have researched the internal pcb of the ipod video and realized that it might be the DC-DC converter that seems to loop the hole time through it's capacitors or small inductors. The other theory is that the hard-drive thats trying to boot, but that seems not likely. Because then the battery would have drained out already by the first day of "ticking"
    So please, is there someone that knows how to reset a ipod video 5.5G 30Gb completely, my patience is dying right here and it seems that i will hear this ticking for a whole week or more (I fully recharged it before the ticking noise)

    me too had the same problem... i just bought my ipod video 80gb for 3 months and use it occasionally. Yesterday i was listening to my ipod, songs just started skipping and at the end, the song just got stucked at the playing menu with timed minutes and artist display. all i can get is the ticking sound of the controller. when i connect it to my itune, it just say it was corrupted and cant restore. think i need some professional help here, thanks

  • Ipod wont stop synching in itunes

    After installing the new software my ipod touch won't stop synching every few times I change songs in a playlist from my ipod or if I try and change the audio levels of a song, it just starts synching and everything is taking forever because of this.

    Have you tried here:

  • Ipod wont stop turning on and off

    The weirdest thing just happened. I was updating my ipod and then i unplugged it; not doing anything differently than i normally do. Now it keeps turning on and off, but it's not going to the main display page. It gives me the apple logo and then turns off and on again. I tried plugging it back in the computer and that didn't work, and i tried shutting it down and that didn't work either. What should I do?

    Try to put it into disk mode

    and do the Restore again.
