- 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 another cable
- 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 4th generation music stuck on shuffle and i can't remove it, please help

What exactly happened when you tried to restore the iPod? Restore from backup?
Have you went to Settings>General>reset>Reset all settings?
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

HT5616 i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they ar

when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

IPod Touch 2G 32GB stuck on Apple screen, unable to restore

My iPod Touch froze a few days ago. Powering off/on did nothing (I can't turn off using just the power button, have to use Home as well). Hard reset does nothing - it just sits on the Apple screen, without even a progress bar. I let the battery run out, and have charged it again, with the same results.
I was trying to avoid connecting it to iTunes (a whole other story, basically the laptop with my existing iTunes library bluescreened, I thought I had it all backed up but turns out the apps and backups aren't there, we're working on data recovery) but figured that was my only option to restore. Not sure whether the fact I've never connected this iPod to this PC is a problem, but it is not recognising it at all. Not just in iTunes - it's not even registering as a USB device. I have tried forcing it into Restore mode to get it recognised, but it just goes back to the Apple screen and sits there again.
Any ideas? (It's long out of warranty).

More Troubleshooting Steps For Your Consideration:
I was able to restore back to iPhone OS 2 by using a laptop that had not been synced with my ipod touch previously. When I did the DFU with it, iTunes downloaded OS 2 and it worked.
Then I went back to my iMac and proceeded to install OS 3.1.3 and that seemed to work ok too.
I've been getting the white apple logo of death, however, when I try to sync applications. All seems well, but as it is finishing the ipod touch reboots to the White Apple Logo Screen and stays there. iTunes seems oblivious to this taking place.
During my second rebuild starting with OS 2 and then updating to 3.1.3, it worked again. When I tried to add apps, I only put on a dozen. That worked too. I did get the White Apple Logo Screen of Death once again and I did the third sync to get the rest of my apps in place.
I'm on the third rebuild from version 2. I'm going to try to use an old file I have of 3.1.1 instead of 3.1.3. Also, I'm going to add one application per sync. At least this way I might be able to find out if it is a specific app that is causing the problems.
In my further research, it appears that this bug has been in place since the early days of iPhone OS 2.
All told I've spent over week with my computers tied up working on this problem. I think it would have more cost effective to just buy a new iPod. (I'd rather wait for the 4G version this fall!).
Just in case anyone else has been having issues, that is where I'm at. I'll let you know if I figure this issue out in more detail.
Thanks,
Paul

My ipod nano 4g is stuck at apple screen. reset, reinstall and restore doesnt work.

my friend gave me his old ipod nano 4th gen because he said it was messed up. immediately after you press the play button the apple logo appears and never changes. it constantly stays on the screen. ive restored the ipod to a previous firmware, i've reset the device, ive switched usb ports, ive even went to the extent of resetting my computer because i like this ipod so much. please, if there is any way that you can help me witha solution, that would be greatly appreciated.

Your friend already warned you it was messed up. You tried your best to fix and nothing worked. If you cannot find a solution in the user manual, visit iFixit and YouTube for DIY repairs or take your iPod Nano to a repair shop.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IOS update for iPod 4th generation

Will there be an update for iPod 4th generation? Or is Apple forcing us to buy a more recent product to get the ios7 update?

No
As Apple announced in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod touch
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

HT4061 ipod 4th generation stuck on start up screen, won't do anything (the black screen with the silverish apple). Help?

This morning, i tried turning on my ipod (4th generation) and it is stuck at the black start upp screen (the screen that has the siverish apple when you have first turned on your device). It has been stuck like this for about a half an hour now, and I'm not sure what to do. This would be the second time in at least three months I have had problems with it (around December it went into recovery mode and i had to reset it to the factory settings). Is there anyway I can handle this at home, or do i have to go into an apple store to have this fixed? Also, I plugged it into my computer and it didnt show up in itunes like it did last time. Thanks! (I'm pretty sure its the IOS 6 because i have not updated it since then).

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
