Is my Ipod dead or is there anything i can do????

Somehow my 60gb video ipod had become broken - I think one of my kids had a hand in this.
Firstly, the screen has become broken - this is the easy bit as I can obtain one from eBay cheaply enough.
However, when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows based PC) it doesn't appear in my computer as a disk drive or as an ipod in itunes. It does appear in the windows device manager so there is SOME life left in it lol.
I am thinking the hard drive may be damaged I don't know - is there anyone who can offer some help?

Update - my ipod now appears in itunes - well its a start!
Only have option to restore ipod - however i click this and its says requested resource could not be found.
At top it states Name: IPOD
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: n/a
Serial Number: n/a
Format: unknown

    I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
    I'd appreciate some advice!

    Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • My iPod was stolen, is there anything I can do?

    My iPod touch was stolen at school a few days ago and I do have the FindMyiPhone app on it, but no luck tracking it. I've sent messages to the iPod about contacting me if found, and I've also locked it from my friend's iPhone, but it keeps saying that since it's not connected to the internet, it can't locate it.. and that the messages won't be seen until connected to the internet. Is there any other way that I can track it with it's serial number? Or anything else that I can do with the app? PLEASE help!
    Oh and is there any way that I can get insurance on my ipod... or any way that I can find out whether I have any or not?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal informtion, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • My iPod touch is stuck.  I can't get it to power off.  all that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    My iPod Touch is stuck.  I can't get it to power off.  All that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

  • Is there anything i can do if my ipod touch is not showing up on  find my ipod ?

    i have the app but yet my ipod is not showing up is there anything i can do?

    OK, I'm gonna assume that you and Little Bo Peep have something in common..
    Here are the facts:
    1.  You have to have the device turned on and it must be connected to WiFi.
    2.  You have to have iCloud and Location Services enabled on the device.
    3.  If someone found or stole the device and then restored it to factory settings, you cannot use Find My iPod/iPhone to find the device, EVER.
    4.  You cannot turn the device on, or enable iCoud or enable Location Services remotely.
    5.  Apple does not have a magic wand or a self-aware computer that can find your device.

  • I have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    i have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    Is it this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    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 the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • My iPod went flat while installing new iOS now it wont even charge. Is there anything I can do????

    My iPod went flat while iOS6 was being installed and now it shows a white screen when charging but wont take a charge. Is there anything I can do??????

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
