  • My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

    earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did.  In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds.  If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it.  I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change.  All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

    The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
    Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
    So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • My Computer and Itunes will not recognize my ipod

    I recently had to reinstall itunes on my computer. Now, my computer and itunes won't recognize my ipod. But I can change it from my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I would really like to update my ipod!
    Thanks.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • White screen and computer and iTunes will not recognize

    I was attempting to install the update, when my computer and iTunes stopped recognizing the iPhone. Now it is stuck on a white screen, and I can't do anything. Help, please!

    Hi,
    Try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
    If you cannot restart the iPhone, try resetting it by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If the issue persists, try putting the iPhone into recovery mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

    Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

    Hello agardner37701,
    I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:

  • Iphone is frozen and itunes will not recognize the iphone for a restore

    my facebook app was giving me problems while trying to update my status, so I decided to delete the app and try to re-install it. after deleting the app, the phone froze. I decided to do a soft reset, and the phone will initially boot up only to the apple image on the screen and them immediately shut back off. I've tried to do multiple other soft restarts, but it won't get past the apple logo on the screen before shutting completely off again.
    the phone is out of warranty and I was told by the support line that I need to do a backup restore, but now my itunes won't even recognize the iphone to give me the option to do a restore from backup.
    I have an iphone with 3.1.3 and Windows Vista.
    thanks for all you help!

    Unfortunately it never gave me the option to restore from backup. only to do a complete restore to factory. I reconnected the phone to the computer and in the process of doing another restore. this time it actually showed the progress on the iphone screen as opposed to the first run only showing the apple logo on the screen. I believe you may have saved my phone! I will let you know in a few...

  • My 2nd Gen iPod touch would not finish backing up to update to 4.2 firmware. So I tried to restore it, and it failed to restore. It shows the "Connect to iTunes" logo and iTunes will not recognize it. How can I get iTunes to recognize it?

    Please help.

    Think I got it figured out... I missed the whole "sync apps" when my iPod was connected to my computer (in iTunes)
