IPods keep dying

Everyone seems to be at a loss why my iPods are dying including apple senior support and senior people at the Apple store.
I had a gen 6 classic 160gb for 3 years that worked flawlessly.  It was filled to the max with music.  Then, I decided to reorganize my library.  That encompassed adding more songs so I had iTunes convert the songs to 128k.  I created 1 big playlist of 50,000 songs and sync'd that playlist.  The sync took 2 full days and seemed to go okay.  That is, until I disconnected the iPod fromt the computer and tried to turn it on. It was dead - all I would get was the apple logo no matter what I did.
The Apple store said my hard drive died.  I traded it for the same iPod classic, except gen 7 (for $179!).  I then went on to experience the same exact problem.
I went back to the store where a senior tech tried to diagnose the problem and the store manager got involved.  It was decided that they would give me another replacement and I agreed to separate my 1 big playlists into 10 smaller playlists and sync one at a time. 
Everything seemed to go okay.  After syncing each playlist, I checked the iPod and there was no problem.  However, with each sync, I received a report at the end that some songs could not be converted.  They all played okay on my computer, but I deleted them from the sync'd playlists. 
On the very last sync (using all 10 playlists), I experienced the same exact problem.  You have no idea how frustrating this has been not to mention time consuming.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Baby, you only really need to restore your iPod to troubleshoot a problem on your iPod. A restore wipes the iPod back to factory settings including all of your music, so this is nothing that is done routinely. As for updating, it is really only necessary to update if there has been a new release for software for your specific model of iPod. For example, I had a 3rd generation iPod that really hasn't been updated in at least 6 months because there has been no new software released for that model. Even if new software is released in the updater for your model of iPod, it may be wise to hold up on updating for a couple of weeks to see if there are any specific problems with that updater. In other words, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Hope this helps.

  • Ipod Keeps dying :-(

    so my video ipod keep dying on me whenever i go running...any ideas why or how to fix it? i dont want to lose my 5K songs...

    As long as they are in iTunes you won't lose them. It sounds like your battery has died. You'll either need a new battery which can be a little difficult to replace, or a new iPod.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to move my itunes from my old, sad lap top to a decent used PC. I tried to go the route of using my iPod as a hard drive to move itunes but when i'm trying to load itunes from the iPod to the new PC, the process is interrupted because the iPod loses power. Now what?? I'm goin nuts...

  • My iPod has died from a dead battery, but when i plug it into a power source, it just keeps giving me the apple logo and a darkly lit screen and sometimes flashes white. Is there anything i can do to fix it or do i have to get it replaced?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • My ipod keeps freezing up between screens

    My ipod keeps freezing up between screens.. it won't reboot... the only way i can fix it is to let the battery die and recharge it...
    Message was edited by: bambie

    When your iPod freezes, it's not necessary to wait until the battery drains, you should just be able to reset it. If the freezing persists, then try restoring it.
    Yes, you should be able to get it serviced under the warranty if the fault persists.

  • 3rd Refurbished iPod to die since January...

    Back in December by iPod 30gig Video (which I had NEVER had a problem with) died, and since it wasn't under warranty (and I hadn't bought Applecare) I decided to replace it with a refurbished one (and yes, I bought AppleCare this time!).
    I bought my refurbished ipod online and it worked just like a new one...for a week. One day I went to plug it into my JBL On Tour and it froze. I tried everything on the website but nothing worked, so I sent it in for a replacement. This replacement (refurb #2) never even started out of the box. It was dead from the get go, so I sent it back for (another) replacement.
    I have had refurb #3 for about a month now, but today I decided I'd better plug it into my computer for a little updating (it's been several weeks...I've been charging it in the car) and it froze, displayed the VERY LOW BATTERY screen and is now completely dead.
    So am I cursed or something? I keep going over my ipod routine, thinking of what could cause these to keep dying. I ruled out the JBL speakers, and it's not my USB ports, and it's doubtful that it is my cables (I still have my old USB cable so I've tried both). Could it be my FM Tuner/charger for the car? I'm not having any trouble listening to the ipod in the car, or when I get to work, it just seems like when I later plug it in to my computer to sync up. Also, this last time the ipod cable was hooked up to a USB hub (which I realize is a no no) but I then tried the regular ports and still I get nothing. Does anyone have any ideas??? I hate to get a 4th refurbished ipod only to kill it too! Also, could it be because the ipods are refurbished?

    Sounds like what happened to me with my old 3rd generation iPod. I went through I would have to say 6 iPods over the course of one year. I had originally bought the 3rd gen iPod refurbished from the online Apple Store. Plugged it in, synced all my music, and ejected it. Second time I plugged it in, the computer wouldn't recognize the iPod at all. The "Do Not Disconnect" screen would not even appear. So I sent the iPod in. Same exact thing happened. Sent it in again. Same thing. Then, a new Apple Store opened near me, so I took it there. Got the iPod replaced, but yet again it had a different problem, (can't remember what exactly it was) and again, I got it replaced for free. The last time I took it to the Apple Store, they told me that since I'd been having so many problems with that generation iPod, they would give me a brand new 80gb iPod in replacement for my 40gb 3rd generation iPod. Who would argue for that?
    If there's an Apple Store near you, I'd recommend you go there instead of sending the iPod in. You have someone to talk to about the iPod, and instant gratification with a new one ;] .

  • I believe my Ipod has died

    I have a Ipod mini and I bought it in july of 2005. I have been told that the battery dies after two years.
    Im starting to believe that.
    It wont charge when I plug it into a wall unit or into my computer. When I try to turn it on the apple sign pops up then the sad ipod icon comes on. I tried to restart and restore it but both dont work.
    At the moment I have it plugged into a wall charger and the apple sign is on then the sad ipod.
    Is my Ipod died and done with?
    What should I do?

    First, I also agree that it is probably the right time to have a battery replacement, but you have to deal with the sad iPod icon, which caused by the sudden cut off of the battery power - the HD stuck at a certain point .. but have a read of the following
    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Ipod keeps getting white screen

    My ipod keeps getting the 'white screen of death', almost every time I leave it... does that mean there's something wrong with it and it's dying?
    Thanks

    If you're lucky, it will be under warranty. Mine got the 'WSOD' one month after purchase. The replacement is in the store now.
    If you're out of warranty, google search ipod white screen. There are several recommendations on how to attempt a fix.
    For me, none of them worked. Apple store staff were gracious, and quickly agreed to replace.
    Good luck.

  • My Ipod keeps restarting and showing the Apple Logo over and over....

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!! My Ipod keeps restarting, or turning off, I'm not sure which, but when it does that then it shows the Apple Logo, it will go to the main screen for maybe 1 second, but then it does this cycle over again. It has been doing this for a while now. It is also unresponsive, I and tried the R things but they didn't work either. I have tried plugging it up and it hasnt helped, I have no idea what to do. Oh and I havn't dropped it or anything, I have taken very good care of it. The only thing I can think of that ould be wrong with it is that my Dad had it plugged into his car radio, he says it started doing this action while it was plugged up to that, but I have no proof of that. He also plugged it into his computer, which has none of the Itunes software on it, to try to download my songs onto his computer, he says all the songs copied to his computer just fine. I plugged the Ipod into my Ihome and it froze up, when it unfroze I saw that I had all of my songs, but then it started to Turn off and show the Apple Logo. If you have any suggestions please contact me!!!!

    Ohne iTunes hörte der "Kampf" zwischen Windows und iTunes auf (logo!).
    Solange der iPod davor verbunden war gab es Fehlermeldungen sowohl von iTunes als auch von Windows und der iPod flog bei beiden Systemen raus. Jetzt ließ Windows den iPod in der Liste der angeschlossenen Geräte. Ich habe ihn neu formatiert und dann ausgeworfen.
    Connect your iPod.
    Without iTunes the struggle between windows and iTunes was over.
    As long as iTunes was installed and a iPod was connected I got a notice of a failure from iTunes and windows. both of them disconnected the iPod. Now windows kept the iPod an I was able to format it, then I disconnected it.
    6. Da ich keine Zeit mehr hatte habe ich den Computer heruntergefahren und erst mehrere Stunden später wieder angemacht. (ob das spätere Hochfahren von Bedeutung ist werde ich wohl nie erfahren, ich erwähne es nur, um möglichst keinen Schritt auszulassen)
    I drove down the computer and turned it on again after a few hours. (Is it necessary to wait a few hours? I don't know. I mention it only)
    7. Installieren Sie iTunes / install iTunes
    8. starten Sie iTunes / start iTunes
    9. verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem Computer / connect your iPod with your PC
    Bei mir haben die Fehlermeldungen aufgehört und ich konnte das "kaputte" Gerät wieder mit Musik, Filmen und Hörbüchern füttern.
    Ich hoffe es klappt auch bei Ihnen.
    In my case there were no further messages of a failure. I got music, movies and audiobooks on my daughters iPod.
    Interessieren würde mich schon, warum ein System plötzlich spinnt, obwohl ich "außer" updates nichts verändert hatte.
    Why happened it???

  • Why does my fully charged iPad 2 battery keep dying at 50% charge? I have updated to iOS 7 and this started happening. What could be the cause of it?

    My iPad's battery keeps dying. When I plug it in and put it back on, the screen shows a drained battery. After a few moments it boots up. However, when I check the battery charge, it's at 52% or so. Can someone tell me what's causing this? And what can I do to fix it?

    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

    My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

    Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.
