My 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down.

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive.  You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

    Hello vina8sy,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • I software update and it asks me to restart. i do it and it does nothing but restart the computer

    I software update and it asks me to restart. i do it and it does nothing but restart. no notifications or updates or anything. i have done this several times. please someone help me. T⌢T

    i've done that, it asks to install the updates, and then says it needs to restart the computer, the computer restarts and non of my updates are installed. i re open software updates, and it asks me to install all over again. this is really frustrating.

  • My 5th gen Ipod won't do anything but show the " Connect to your computer, use itunes to restore" screen. However my computer nor anyone else's will recognize my ipod. What can I do?

    My ipod will not do anything but show a screen that asks to "connect ipod to computer, use itunes to restore" My computer however will not recognize my ipod at all so there is no way to restore my ipod. I am not skilled in computers but if anyone has a step by step that would be great.

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • Firefox 3.6.3 will allow me to import bookmarks, however it will not allow me to export bookmarks, I click on export html, and it does nothing but close the dropdown menu

    have been trying to export my bookmarks from firefox. am running a new installation of kubuntu 10.04.. I can import any and all I've tried. I'm using firefox synch, but the only bookmarks I can import from firefox are the defaults... nothing I've imported is available to import to my other browser, Konqueror.

    hi,
    in firefox 4.x; you click on firfox in the upper left corner, which is presumably similar to 3.x. Then go to bookmarks, in the upper right corner of open tab. this will then open another tab...DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER....just left click on bookmarks. This will open a window where you will see "import and backup" once you highlight that area, a dropdown with "export to html"......will be there.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,

  • My apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari and other websites..can some1 help me out?

    my apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari,itunes and other websites. the ip address is not strtng wid 169 and i have reset the network settings also..can some one help me out

    The 169 IP address mans it did not correctly negotiate with the router:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    What is going on with this stupid machine

    Machines are incapable of being stupid. Not so of their operators.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn 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 device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    JCLouis, 
    We saw your story and are very worried about what we read! This isn't like us at all and we are here to help sort it all out. We recommend calling the Rebate Center to check on the status. Their number is 1-800-457-0864.
    We can help you right here with your phone! How often does it turn off? Is it just that the screen goes black or does it completely power down? Also, does it start back up by itself if it does power down?

  • Since uploading Maverick, my Microsoft apps give an error message "(the app) quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the application again."  However, this does nothing but renew this window.  What to do?

    Since uploading Maverick, all of my Microsoft apps give an error message "(name of the app) quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the application again."  However, this does nothing but renew this window.  I have to click on the "OK" button to get rid of the error message.  What to do?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

    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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • One of my audio books will not play.  My music plays.  And my other audio book plays.  When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing.  I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

    Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com.  They play on iTunes on my computer.  They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago.  I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play.  I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play.  They all play on iTunes on my computer.
