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.

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • Ipod 5th Gen. Not recognized in Itunes, But is in "My Computer" + Immediate Eject on plug

    Whenever I open iTunes, I get an error message that says, "The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly." When I have it try to repair itself, it brings up another error message that says, "the software required for this iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." I have used Revo to remove all traces of Apple products and followed the guidelines in the Apple instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369 to no avail. I've tried temporarily disabling the firewall and my AVG software during installation and that hasn't helped. My iPod connects with iTunes on other computers just fine, so I can't imagine it's the device. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times.

    Hello Coobyj,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like something may have disabled the Apple Mobile Device Service, so I would check that next.
    This article should help with that:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    These 2 sections in particular:
    Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS)
    Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic
    All the best,

  • Ipod 6th Generation won't sync with Itunes but is being recognised as a device on windows

    Recently had to get my laptop set back to factory reset. I have reinstalled Itunes and uploaded my music back on Itunes but my Ipod wont sync. The Ipod itself is saying that it’s connected and my laptop is recognising it as a device and saying that it is working correctly. I’ve reset the Ipod and had a look at the firewall on my computer (Windows and the free Avast software) but everything seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas? 

    do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • TS3694 My Iphone4s is stuck on the image saying to plug into Itunes but when I do, and I update, the computers says it is in recovery mode to fix the phone first, but I can'nes image, even after restarting and taking ou

    My phone is stuck with the image of 'plug into itunes' on the face when I try to install ios7. after installing all but the ios7 the comp. says the phone is in 'restore mode error 6, and says to restore it first from the phone b4 I can use itunes but, again, my phone is stuck in the 'plug into itunes' image ????

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

    I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
    I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
    It's only my iPod that won't connect.
    Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
    Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod 5th generation sync's on other computer but not mine

    My Ipod wont sync and is not recognised by windows but I can select it to be safely disconnected, so something is recognising it. Other Ipod's are recognissed on my computer and other computers will recognise my Ipod. I have reinstalled the Ipod and the newest Itunes. Any ideas, Ipod is completely blank now.
