Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. 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.
- 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.

Ipod 160g classic issues.

Hi Please help. I have a Ipod 160g classic. Ive been on the phone today to apple support for over an hour and a half to try and resolve this issue and its still happening. I am trying to transfer music from my windows 7 PC to my Ipod and it keeps freezing after transfering a few diffrent albums tracks. Im having to switch off my PC and start again as it locks the whole PC up. I have the latest software on the Ipod and the latest itunes which I have unintsalled and reinstalled this afternoon and it is still happening. this issue has only seem to have started since downloading the latest version of Itunes. Is anybody else experincing this issue. Thanks

I have audio books and have been informed by Apple Support that in order to keep the audio books in the audio book folder of my iPod and I have to have the iPod set to disk use mode and therefore cannot have iTunes and my iPod sunc. In other words I have to drag and drop new items into my iPod. This is time consuming when I add new songs to iTune.
That's nonsense - use Sync with selected playlists and it works fine, although there are a few issues you certainly don't need to use disk mode or manual management.
With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.
Having established that the files are of kind Audiobook, they will then only show in the Audiobook section of the iPod plus any playlists they are explicity included in. The files don't show anywhere else in Music, i.e. Coverflow, Albums etc.

Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
Let us know what happens.

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.

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart.

Do a SMC reset, that hopefully should get you booting and while booting, hold the option/alt and trackpad button down at the same time. Once a row of icons appears and if the disk hasn't ejected via the trackpad method, then press the eject key on the keyboard until it does.
Click the arrow to boot up OS X.

IPod Touch 2G Crashing while playing music

Hello,
I've recently had a problem that while playing music, my iPod Touch 2G (4.2.1) has been freezing/crashing seemingly spontaneously. The symptom is an abrupt stop of music playback, coupled with the screen stuck with whatever it was displaying at the moment of the crash. Restarting using the Lock and Home buttons seems to remedy the issue temporarily, but I'm rather frustrated. Any advice short of a restore? I am willing and able to restore it, it's just so bloody long to get everything working properly again >.>
Thanks for your help!

Since you said resetting really does not fix the problem restore is you only option.
I would try restoring from backing first that will leave your iPod like it was before the backup. However, there may be corruption that is in your backup and restoring from backup may not solve the issues and restoring to factory defaults/new iPod may be necessary.

I have an Ipod 4g touch. While playing on my ipod...

I use to be up to date with my lap top and Ipod. I play Candy Crush, I always connected to friends on face book and now it won't connect. It seems to try but it won't go. Also, my ICON on my Ipos is NOT showing my picture as it DOES show friends. What might have to be done? I must of done something but never mess with my settings. And it was fine up till now. I can play the game but my level on my lap top is not the same as on my Ipod. It was before, staying in synk...Hope someone can advice me....Help!!! Should I re-set to factory settings? How would I do that? I can play candy crush and go to face book and get my mail. My game just WILL NOT connect to facebook/update. Thank you so much for ANY help...

Premiere CC crash while playing and zooming timeline

Regularly crashing Premiere CC now while playing back the timeline, I zoom in and out on the timeline using my +/- hot keys and Premiere CC will crash. I hate to say it but Premiere is starting to become unstable like my prior copy of Sony Vegas Pro. It's frustrating.

It's a generic error so unfortunately, it doesn't say much.
"Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I click 'Close program' and Premiere CC goes away. For my setup, ti's pretty easy to replicate:
1. Open sequence. Starting playing.
2. While it's playing, click somewhere on the timeline and start zooming in/out with +/- keys. The crash will occur shortly afterwards.

Latence while playing and recording (Axiom 49)

Hello,
When i try to play with my Axiom 49 while playing a song or while trying to record myself, there is lag and I need to wait a little time before hearing the sound of my instrument. Also i need to press the key a certain time before i can hear the sound.
My keyboard is plugged directly in my MacBook Pro, the problem is not coming from the computer, i think there something to do in Logic but i don't know what to do .
Is there any way to change this ?
Pierre

Hello,
I found a solution, a complete reinstallation of Logic solve the problem.

My ipod turns itself on, starts playing, and then dead battery.

My 80g ipod video turns itself on, changes the playlist, then starts playing and kills my battery. the next time i try to use it, its dead. i am constantly recharging it and or picking it up and its playing a different playlist than i was just listening to. i.e. listening to "all" music, then turn it off, couple of minutes pass, i pick it up and its playing the "Rock" playlist. anyone have any suggestions?

Try resetting your ipod. If that dosent work you can restore you ipod.
