Just updated to new IPOD files, now it wont work

updated my ipod files to the 1-10-06 files, now nothing works, all i get is a screen showing a wall outlet and the plug...which i dont have, i charge in car or thru my USB connection. none of the buttons work, itunes wont recognize it, and neither will the updater. any help would be most appreciated

Sally,
Your problem is - you cant do the restore for your iPod as it could not be regonized by your PC. Recently, I discovered a better way, but you need to have a Mac computer (or borrow from a friend), you got better chance to see your iPod got mounted with a Mac when you put your iPod in Disk Mode. Open the Disk Utility in the Mac and do a ERASE (format in MS DOS) and re-connect it with your PC. Then you open the iPod updater in your PC, wait for few minutes and click the RESTORE. Bingo.

  • My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

    Try the reset first, or Restore your iPhone from backup.

  • I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?

    There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
    Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

    Gave my grandsons iPods for Xmas. Looks like one of them downloaded an app (text+) and must/may have deleated on hisiPod the iMessage app that was included on both with both iPods.
    I want to ditch this new app (text+) and return iMessage to his phone as they both are wifi only and iMessaget is what they should both use. Ialso have a iPad (wifi only) and a iphone (both on iOS5) and a MacBook on 10.7.2
    Any help as to how to do this (I would prefer not to due a full restore to the affected iPod if possible)

    Try here:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    - Game Center games only
    - Do other purchased apps work?
    - Do apps that came with the iPod work?
    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try downloading/installing a new app.
    - Do the apps really open by very quickly close?

  • TS1490 updated to new verison and now it wont open itunes store..

    updated to new verison 10.63 and now it wont open itunes store..very vey upset.

    it just says accessing itunes store but will not open
    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

    OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
    I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems.  This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product.  We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work.  NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!!  Argh!
    In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings.  THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
    DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
    Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration.  This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
    IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character?  Any ideas?  We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference.  The router has the latest firmware, too.  Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • New battery fitted, now phone wont work just states connect to itunes  but i cannot

    Help, new battery fitted, now iphone won't work just either shows apple sign or states connect to itunes, but i cannot....
    Tracy

    Who installed the new battery? If you had it done by Apple, take it back in. Something is wrong. If you had it done by a 3rd party, take it back to whoever installed the battery. They broke it.

    Hi Terri,
    I am assuming that you are using a Mac. Update for 17.0.1 have been pulled off the server for Mac(see this - https://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2013/11/illustrator-cc-updates-now-available.html
    Please uninstall AI CC 17.0.1 & re-install again. You will be back on to the 17.0.0 version. This is MAC only change.
    Please let us know if you are facing this issue on Win.
    Thanks,

  • New software and now apps wont work.

    Hey guys,
    I have the iphone 4 and just updated my phone to the newest software. The download went fine but I realized a little while later that the apps that I have purchased won't open. I replugged it into my computer and syncd it again, but that did not help. When an app such as Facebook or Twitter is clicked on it looks likes it going to open but then just closes. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Try the basics from the manual ;  restart, reset, restore

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Argh! Just got my new ipod and it doesn't work!

    Well got the video ipod and oh great it doesn't work. I hooked it up to my computer and it showed up. So I just tryed going to into windows media player and syncing some songs. I only added about 500 songs or so just to tet it out. It showed that the space was taking up in the "about" thing but I could not play any of the songs because they didn't show up under the music section. I then tried it again but now my computer doesn't recognize it. I can't run a restore or anything because of that. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Why are you using Windows Media Player?
    Make sure that all of this is installed...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Also, you should be using iTunes to transfer music. See this...
    Transfer Music to Your iPod (Tutorial)
    Finally, if the iPod is not showing up in iTunes or iPod Updater (and those are installed and you have tried using them)...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
