Hello,
First I would advise you to try restart or reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not work, try a force restore : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    Is it still charging if you connect it to the adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried?

    Hi all,
    I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried or is this a very pathetic attempt of a hacker? Please advise as soon as possible. Below is a screen shot.
    Thank you for your help.

    Is your phone jailbroken? If not, just ignore/delete the message...it's a Flash SMS, & nothing but spam. If your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about.

  • Iphone wont connect to iTunes or computer wont connect to iPhone?

    Either my Iphone wont connect to itunes or my computer wont connect to iphone! My computer makes an unusual noise as I plug in a apple device, This wont let itunes pick up my devices. I have gone though all the proceedures online in which have failed. But when uninstalling Itunes, Apple mobile device was deleted in which then windows recognised my iphone and it started to charge which it did not do when I previously plugged it in. Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and knows how to help?? Thanks

    I'd look at these options
    first,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    It that fails,
    DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
    While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds. 
    Release the power button.  Restore message will appear in iTunes.  The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself.  The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.

  • I just plugged my iPhone in my computer and now it synced my iPod pictures and everything to it. i would like to go back to nomad, how?

    I just plugged my iphone in my computer and it synced my ipod and now everything is messed up, help!

    I'm guessing you don't want your Photos synched to your iPhone (and that is your definition of not being "messed up").  It's really pretty hard to tell from your note.
    Anyway, if that's the case, in your computer's iTunes display, when you have your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone on the left, then the "Photos" tab in that display.  Then uncheck the box near the top that says "Sync photos from ...".  Then click the "Apply" button near the bottom of the display and all will be well.

  • Internet crashed during update while iPhone was connected to iTunes

    And now my phone will not start unless I do a system restore, and not everything I had was backed up as I only had 5 gigs of storage. What are my options??

    Possible the iPhone had something to do with it, but I like to make sure the Disk Directory & Permissions are good before any update.
    Was that Repair/Verify done when booted from the Install Disc?
    You must repair the HD,  if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it then...
    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

  • IPod touch not connecting to iTunes or computer and has a "connect to iTunes" message when powered on

    So, I got my iPod 3rd gen 8gb off craigslist, I had a chance to test it, it worked fine then. I reset it and then tryed to connect to iTunes with my sisters' iPod touch 4th gen usb cable, and it didn't work. I tryed it again on my moms desktop and it says that the USB device is not recognised, so the USB cable DOES work. I downloaded iTunes on the desktop computer, and still, didn't work. I ordered a new cord, maybe it will work, but who knows. Also, I contacted the people I got the iPod from, they said they had reset it and it connected to iTunes just fine.
    A nice detailed answer would be appreciated.

    Ahh, just un-installed the Apple Mobile Device thing in my Programs and Features, then uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and it worked, I got the driver in and did the thing on the page you gave me and it works like a dream. Thank you!!

  • I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account and now want to hook to mine. But it says set up as new phone, if i choose this will everything on my phone be erased?

    I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account (on my computer). I did so because my computer wouldn't register with itunes (some software problem) so I couldn't hook it up. I've now fixed my computer and want to hook my iphone to my itunes/apple account however when I do it asks me to choose a new phone or restore from backup. Well it was never hooked up to this account so I need to choose new phone, if i do will everything on my phone be erased?

    Hello there, pullmyhairout.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great guidance for backing up your iOS device to your computer:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
    Back up
    To back up the content on your iOS device to iTunes on your computer:
    Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Choose File > Devices > Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device and choose Backup Now.
    You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
    To check that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Connected to a different computer and now ipod won't mount

    I've searched through the discussions and I can't find anyone who has had this specific problem, but apologies in advance if this issue has already been addressed somewhere I didn't see..
    My ipod and ibook have been working perfectly fine together for 6 months. Yesterday I connected my ipod to a friends ibook so we could listen to some music off my ipod on his itunes. He disconnected it without ejecting it first (I wonder if this caused the problem although I've done it before by mistake and had no major problems) and now my ipod won't mount on my desktop.
    It shows up in the system profiler and in ipod updater it says ipod connected but unable to mount. When I plug it in I get two error messages saying "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read" and "A disk attempting to mount -unknown has failed verification or has failed" When I open the disk utility and click repair in the first aid it says "Invalid BTH length" "ipod needs to be repaired"
    The ipod still plays perfectly fine when not attached to the computer.
    I know the simple solution is to restore the ipod but I'm VERY reluctant to do this as I have some music on my ipod that I can't reload because I didn't keep it in my itunes to save hard drive space and I've just moved countries and the hard copies are back home.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!

    unable to mount
    that is a hard drive error msg, as are the other msgs you listed... not a good sign.....
    you are going to need to restore/reformat the ipod:

  • My 160gb ipod classic messed up today when I was ejecting it from the computer and now when I turn it on a red x comes up telling me to go to support. It also is making a weird clicking noise... Any help?????

    Hi! my ipod broke today after I tried to sync it. There is a red error message on the screen and it makes an obnoxious clicking. Any help??

    i've had this same problem on my 30 gig 5th generation. about a year ago, i had the same problem, called Apple support, they wanted me to pay about $100 to fix it with no guarantee that it would work. I left it alone for a long time (months), charged it up again, clicked it on and it worked. Just a few days ago, I got the clicking sound again. I don't recommend this but, after pushing the menu and center buttons simultaneously and trying to charge the Ipod, I finally whacked it between my hands a few times and it stopped clicking. I charged it, then plugged it in to my computer. I got an error message "1437", which they recommend restoring the IPod to the factory settings. This wiped out all the stuff stored on my device. Now, I have to figure out how to get the stuff back on and avert the 1437 error message.

  • Itunes updated files and now I'm locked out - help

    So I just plugged my Ipod classic into the PC to charge it and Itunes opens up and says 'updating files'.
    The old files (over 20gb of music and movies) are still on it, but it looks in the usage bar to have compartmentalized them off.
    It then copied the whole lot over again... so now all the same files are on it twice.
    And when I turn it on it has no files. No music, movies or the games i've downloaded. Nothing.
    2 days ago I logged into my apple account on Itunes and downloaded a game for the Ipod. It didn't try to update it then, and didn't earlier today when I plugged it in. But this time it did what I mentioned above.
    So now I can't access any of my music or movies on it. Help.
    Will I have to restore it and start again?
    EDIT: I've just plugged it in again, and it has added the 2nd lot to the compartmentalized files and tried to copy it all over again. So I forced it to stop syncing and ejected it.
    Message was edited by: fooffstarr

    Nevermind.
    I called the number on my warranty we ended up having to restore it and start over.
    Still don't know what caused the issue in the first place, so ill leave this marked as unanswered for now.
    If anyone knows why it would do it please let me know
