30g Ipod Video keeps rebooting

I just got the new Itunes 9.0 and synced my Ipod video as usual, but now it just keeps rebooting and is stuck on the black screen with the white apple.
I have tried (twice) going into disk mode, and restoring the Ipod, but it still has the same issue. I have also tried plugging it into a wall charger.
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advanced!

probably the next best thing to try is attempting to reset it while it is connected to a power source (like the PC). see:

30g iPod Video with Dead Hard Drive

Whoops... dropped my fancy 30g iPod Video while watching something. Now I have a nice paper weight.
I want to manually exchange the Hard Drive. I have the old one in my hands, but can't seem to get the exact same model. I CAN however find different sizes of various hard drives.
My question is simple: Is my 30g iPod locked to 30g? or can I pick up a 60g Toshiba Hard Drive? 80g? 160g?
I've done some searching and I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I've found people who have replaced with 'similar' hard drives (30g Toshiba for 30g), but haven't found word on restictions.
Thanks for any info.

Check here, http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPod-5th-Gen/95 . You should be able to put a bigger drive in you just need to order the correct reat case since it will be fatter.

My Mobile restart while update the media library.

I am using 3110 it some time restarts while update the media library. I also want to flash the software, because it restarts while I applying any themes, adding new files in memory card... also I want to disable the PTT but it not working... Please any one help me....

Try a reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

Ipod Touch went blank while updating apps

ipod touch went blank while updating new apps i was updating enigmo it was syncing with itunes using windows then itunes got hanged and ipod touch also
now its screen is black and i tried to reboot it but cant i press all buttons nothign happening and ipod is very hot even though its not connected to itunes any one can help me?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

30gig ipod video keeps resetting itself

my 30gig ipod video keeps resetting until it runs out of battery life, if i have it connected to my pc, it just keeps resetting indefinately, and if i disconnect it, it does so until it runs out of battery.
i've already reset it manually, returned it to factory conditions, I dont know what else to do, any help at all would be appreciated.

Hello eonitwat,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try manually forcing the iPod into Disk Mode and then reconnecting to your computer. This might prevent the iPod from continuously rebooting to allow you enough time to try and reformat the iPod completely using the tools provided by Windows.
Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod on WIndows. The instructions are for Vista and XP, but you'll find that Windows 7 is very similar to Windows Vista.

If still no luck, you may want to consider having the iPod serviced.
Worth a shot.

My ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

my ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

The problem is the "screen saver". Normally after some time the backlight of your ipod is switched off automatically and a clock appears. This doesn't work properly and leads to resets.
The solution: You have to go in the main menu to "settings/backlight and activate "Always on". After that your ipod should work properly. To avoid a very low battery runtime now, you have to adjust the brighness settings to a low value.
This also solves problems like radomly skipping songs or stopping playback.
I really would like apple to solve this problem, but i doubt this will ever happen.

Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

Ipod video keeps trying to restart.. HELP!

hopefully someone can help me fix my ipod without deleting all my files, which i cannot download agian...
i tried to change my ipod video to the ipod classic, after loading the classic firmwire in ipodwizard, my ipod has been trying to reboot over and over,it just keeps starting up and shutting off. can any body help me?
thanks..

That solution works, I had actually posted my problem with my ipod continuously trying to restart and never being able to restart. The other post's solution is correct, it will allow you to connect to your computer and itunes will recognize your ipod, restore it (yes you'll lose everything, I'm sorry and I know it stinks but it's the only thing I have found that works). The only issue I had with the solution was when I clicked restore on itunes it would say that the ipod can't be restored because of some unknown error 1429. So to go around this issue, go into disk mode connect the ipod to your computer, and it'll say that it needs to be restored. Once you click restore, immediately follow the same steps to put your ipod in disk mode to take it out of disk mode and your computer will be able to restore your ipod. I know the solution isn't the greatest because you lose your data but at least your ipod works again.

Hello EustaceRM,
Force closing all open apps and resetting your iPhone may help prevent the various app issues you've been experiencing.
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If your apps continue closing unexpectedly, the next step would be to restore the device.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Additionally, the troubleshooting steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone, should it continue restarting or powering off unexpectedly.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

30gb ipod video keeps on crashing

I just got my ipod video 3 days ago and I keep on having a problem where it will play a video for variable amounts of time and just all of the sudden crash. After this, when I push a button it will restart back up with the apple icon. I've read quite a few posts with people having the same problem but there hasn't been a good solution as of yet. I've tried firmware versions 1.1 and 1.1.1 with no success. I don't think that this is the same problem with a video playing for 30 seconds and then the video and audio stops. The ipod will also sometimes just crash when I'm using the menu or when I'm playing songs.
This has really been frustrating me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Brand new iPod Touch keeps restarting Help!

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 stared lagging at first. It has been doing this for a while now about (almost an hour). It is also unresponsive, I and tried holding down the home and power buttons, but it didn't work. I plugged it in to iTunes and it said it couldn't connect to it and gave me the code 0xE8000024. I have no idea what to do. Oh and I havn't dropped it or anything, I have taken very good care of it. I JUST got it today. I am restoring it right now but as its plugged in it keeps rstarting and showing the Apple logo. Please help!

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
Then
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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
