Try to update iTunes without the ipod connected, the download the latest ipod updater and use it. Then, you can put all your music back on. If this doesn't work, use itunes to restore your iPod.

    my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

    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.

  • Ipod isnt recognized and is unable to be restored!

    Please help.
    I have had a 30 gig color ipod for about six months, never had a problem until 2 days ago. I dont think there is a problem with my PC, as its a work computer and has never had acted up.
    After resetting my Ipod, the ipod logo screen will not go away and the Ipod will not turn on.
    I've tried putting the Ipod into disk mode but the Ipod isnt recognized by Itunes. I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes and Ipod Installer. I have backed up all of my files.
    I want to try to Restore the Ipod but I can't because its not being recognized. My USB port works fine and I know the connection works because when I put it in disk mode, I can see it charging.
    On one attempt to Restore the Ipod, I got message that says "can't mount Ipod"
    What can I do??? Thank you.

    I have a similar problem. I have a 60Gb color Ipod which worked fine with my previous computer, a Pentium III using Windows 2000.
    I changed to a Windows XP notebook and the iPod is not recognized by it. The strange thing is that it apears on the attached devices feature (usually on the lower right bar) once I connect it, it appears as drive F: on explorer, but when I try to open it on explorer I get an error message, most of the time saying it is an I/O problem. Additionaly, the iPod is not recognized by iTunes and when I tried formating or updating it I either got a message it was not connected or the Initializing went on forever.
    I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me (I already booted everything several times, resintalled all programs, formated my iPod in the other computer...).

  • Updated, Now have no Wi-Fi and Not Bluetooth?!?!?

    I just got gome from work and updated my phone and now after I updated I have No Wi-Fi and no Bluetooth? The Wi-Fi in setting is grayed out and it says No Wi-Fi? and Bluetooth is grayed out and says Unavailable. What happened? I never installed anything on the phone. And I even restored the whole thing and the same.
    Anyone else have this problem? HELP!!!!

    BT says unavailable or it just won't turn on and the dial spins?
    Try going to your general settings> reset> reset all settings and see if that will allow you to access WiFi and BT and turn them on.

    Unless your running Itunes 7.6 (the latest) then Uninstall your current Itunes through add/remove in Xp or whatever way they do it on a Mac and then when you have a fresh copy of Itunes 7.6 installed do the following.
    1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.

    7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
    6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
    8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • HT1414 if your ipod isnt recognized and synced with this computer, how do you restore it if it is disabled?

    I hooked my ipod up to a different computer to restore it because I forgot my password and its disabled but whenever I try it says "itunes could not connect to the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes." I even restored it and it let me update it but once it was finished, this message would still pop up. Please help ASAP!

  • IPhone was unplugged during update; now completely unusable, not recognized

    So I was updating to the latest iPhone software through iTunes when somehow, the USB got unplugged. Now, the phone is always off; when I turn it on it just has a picture of a USB cable pointing towards the iTunes logo for a few seconds, and then shuts off again. It's comepletely unusable. When I plug it into the USB port, it is recognized in Windows and the computer and all, but it doesn't appear in iTunes, and the iPhone's screen is the same image as when it is unplugged.
    HELP PLEASE!!!
    No phone + No music = Death.
    =[.
    Thanks in advance!
    --Sarah.

    Try forcing your iPhone into Recovery mode.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone.
    Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off.
    Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting USB cable. When you reconnect USB, the device should then power on.
    Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo.
    When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.
    This will require an iPhone Restore.

  • Updated - now have lost apps centre and all apps an can't get them back on

    I just updated to ios5 and have this icloud thing, but now I don't have my apps centre or any of my apps on my phone. I have tried to sync but the apps area on itunes does not let me do anything, its like it is frozen on my page. If I go to apps on the left hand side I can see them but I can't get them back on my phone or update them.....I am wondering if the icloud thing is the problem because I don't have wi-fi...PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for your response. I did have the apps button on my iphne screen from the very time i purchased it, it had the apps 'A' symbol and I could go into that to download apps onto my phone without having to connect to PC and going through Itunes...however now it doesn't exist. Yes I have tried restarting both the phone and the PC, Syncing, resetting Uby way of hitting both buttons on phone for a reboot etc. Yu know when you are in Itunes and you can go into your screen and move your apps from page to page or delete etc, well that page is totally frozen and I won't let me even click on it anymore. I have deleted and re download itunes and all of the apps.But still nothing, the apps are blurred on my screen and state - waiting 

  • My Macbook Pro auto update, now it doesn't load and OS.

    My Macbook had what looked like an auto update which I just accepted and now it won't load the Lion OSX at all.  It won't even load "Safe Mode." I don't know what to do as it now just says I have to turn it off in four different languages. 

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Installed Leopard Update, Now Second Monitor Not Recognized

    Is there any way to remove the 1.3 update? I now cannot use my second monitor and when I tried to use time machine, well you can guess what happened. The system froze as soon as I clicked on the icon.
    I just switched to a Mac and I am starting to regret the decision.

    Carl, try a couple things....
    1) Startup your computer holding SHIFT down. This may take a while to startup. When it's done, simply restart again. Test your system.
    2) Zap the PRAM by holding down CMD-SHIFT-P-R as your computer starts up. Release those keys when you hear the second startup chime. Then test your system again.
    3) Repair Disk Permissions using DISK UTILITY in your Utilities folder.
    4) Reset the System Memory Unit by simply shutting the computer down, unplugging EVERYTHING from the computer (specially the power cord) and let it set for 5-10 minutes. Then plug everything back in and restart.
    It will not hurt to try these steps. It's worth a shot. Good luck!
