My babys sick.. My ipod Won't recognize my computer, and turns off randomly. I've tried restoring, and wiping it several times. Please help.

I have an ipod touch, 16 GB, 2nd generation i presume.
I've had problems with it for several months, and gave up on it.
It's had a virus or several, which caused it to randomly cut off, when fully charged. When i plugged it up, i got the black apple screen, or a bunch of numbers.
After a while i started doing research trying to find different cures for my problem.
When i tried restoring it, it would cut off, show the apple screen, and then not show up on my computer.
After i tried restoring it the last time.. It will not connect to the computer or even cut on.
I think my ipod is sick=/
And i have no idea what to do with it.
I use windows

Did you "jailbreak" (a type of hack) your iPod? I've seen videos of iPods being jailbroken and when the hack is being applied, they show a bunch of code being inserted into the system. When you remove during jailbreak, that is exactly what happens, the iPod keeps on trying to go into a mode where it is waiting for a comand via USB, but isn't receiving any cuz it isn't connected to a computer running a hack program. This therefore leaves your iPod in a inoperable state, a forever reset loop. Unless you didn't jailbreak

Ipod Won't Connect To Computer Or Turn Off

I connected my ipod to my mac and the ipod screen turned to the usual do not connect. But the iPod icon did not show up on the desktop or iTunes menu. I unconnected my iPod and tried to turn it off but it won't. It continued to show the do not disconnect screen as well as being on hold even though it wasn't. This is the first time this is happened and I have had my iPod since it first came out. Any help would be great. Thanks.

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
thanks

A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore. It does not erase the iPod. A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF. It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls. The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF. But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle). I just stop playing music and leave it alone. The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

When I try to add video to iMovie on iPod Touch, none of the videos show up to be added. I've restarted the iPod twice, closed all the apps and then reopened iMovie. Please help!

Now You lost me (without using a computer?) - Most probably due to that I've not got an iPod Touch but mine is seven Years old - so it most probably work in a totally different way.

Cracked screen on ipod touch can't get in to it. did a back up with it and tried to put it on new ipod touch 5 and now it keeps talking and won't let me in or turn off. how can i restore to nothing

Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off. Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal but it won't let me any suggestions?

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 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.

When the above says to restore via iTunes, restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

IPod won't sync correctly. iTunes freeze during "Determing Tracks to Sync". Playcounts are a mess now. Please help!'

So since a few months my iPod is starting to get on my nerves. Everytime I try to sync it, my iTunes freezes during the "Determing Tracks to Sync" step. Most of the time it takes a few minutes and then it cancels the sync. I have to sync my ipod atleast 10 times a day to get a song or app on my iPod! One of the most anoyying things tough is, that all playcounts from my iPod sync to my iTunes every time I try to sync. Example: I play Poker Face on my iPod 5 times. I try to sync and my play count says 5 times on my PC. I sync my iPod again and it says 10 times now. It's so anoyying. I restored my iPod already. I removed iTunes and installed it again (And yeah, I deleted it the way Apple wants it). I called Apple and they said I can repair my iPod for 150€, but that's just so much. Any ideas on how to fix my iPod?
Thank you

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions.
Because you reformatted your computer, your iPod does not recognize the new library because it was synced with the older library you had before reformatting. In order to get the iPod working again, you will have to [Restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339] the iPod via iTunes. Once you have completed that step, try re-syncing the music and see if that helps.

My iPod won't sync on my newly downloaded iTunes after I rebooted my laptop because I got hacked! PLEASE HELP! I cant sync anything and it only comes up with Step 1 of 1 instead of the usual 4 steps

Hello everyone,my names Charlotte and I was wondering if someone could help me with my iPod not syncing to my iTunes properly.
Okay well basically,a while ago my laptop caught a virus and in the end I ended up having to reboot the whole thing.
(My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate)
However,because of this,it meant I had to download iTunes again, and so I did.
(I have the latest iTunes and iPod Touch version downloaded)
Then I found a way how to sync all my music from my iPod touch (not the 4th gen) to my laptop, so I did and put all my music and more (from albums I haven't downloaded yet e.t.c) onto my newly downloaded iTunes.
But anyway,back to the original topic. Because of downloading iTunes again and rebooting my laptop, my iPod Touch wont sync to my new iTunes and I don't know what I can do to fix this?
Another thing I did notice was on the 'Devices' option on the sidebar, it now says 'iPod Touch', instead of 'Charlotte's iPod'.
I'm really stuck on what to do because when my iPod does sync to my iTunes it says 'Syncing iPod Touch (Step 1 of 1)', when usually it should be of 4 steps, like backing up data and transferring purchases e.t.c.
Then it just finishes sync..
One thing I did do was de-authorize it and re-authorize it again as I found online that it worked for some people,.... for me it didn't. To be honest I didn't expect it to work as I thought it was just for anyone trying to hack/take away your music...but it was worth a shot anyway.
But please help!
I really want to put more songs onto my iPod
Many Thanks for reading this,
~Charlotte

Update: I deleted all my songs in itunes and then put them back on, and then proceded to sync my ipod again which worked! the songs are being put on

TS1702 My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
Hope this helps.

I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer. It will not sync. What should I do?

I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer. It will not sync. What should I do?

- First get iTunes to see the iPod:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- The transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

HT1338 i upgraded from leopard to snow leopard ( i know i am really behind) but now iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. and the updates keep crashing when they are trying to install...help!

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
