Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

- Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
When was your last backup?

IPod 5th Gen. froze, shutdown, and won't charge how do I fix it?

Please help me figure out what to do to fix my iPod 5th Generation. I put it on the charger, and when I came to check on it, it froze, then shutdown, now it won't charge or nothing. I tried rebooting it an nothing happened, please help me!

All you need to do to solve this problem is to hold down the lock and home buttons at the same time and count slowly to 15. That's called a hard reset and it should reboot the phone out of the black screen funk. Give it a try - it should work. If it doesn't, bring it to the Apple Store. Good luck!

My Ipod 5th generation won't sync new music or playlists

Can someone please help me. I've added new music to Itunes and to my workout playlist (it's a playlist I made, not a smartlist - have no idea what a smartlist even is). When I plug my Ipod into my computer, it syncs ok. There are no error messages or anything. But when I look on my Ipod, the new music isn't in my library and my playlist isn't updated with the songs that I've added to it. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me? Also, I'm new to this, so it will have to be explained Big Bird Barney Style. Thanks so much.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

HELP ! Ipod froze while syncing so I unplugged. Now not showing any music on Ipod or in Itunes but will show the songs in my ipod control

So basicly I was trying to figure out on how to get all my album art back on my 160gb Ipod Classic. It showed in itunes but not on my ipod. My cover flow was full of Question marks. Having 140gb of music ir was fustrating manually putting it back on to each album. This happened a few months ago. So the 5 or 6gb of new music i put on since this happened is on my Ipod and show in my coverflow on my Ipod.
It came to a point where i had to leave my computer and noticed that my ipod was still in a synchnnizing stage and seemed like it was frozen. Having to leave the computer I had to unplug the ipod. By doing so, when i turned it on it said that i had no songs on my Ipod. When plugged into my itunes it also says no songs but at the bottom of the itunes screen it shows there is 140gb of "other Information" with 1.5 gb remaining but not music. I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder. I have had a few different computers since this new ipod has music from ages ago from an old 30gb classic and have transfered over the years on multiple computers (so restoring or syncing to this computer is out of the question). Thus all the ratings and playlist are very dear to me. Hundreds of hours invested in this ipod OVER 6 Years. It seems like there is some file missing or needed to link everything together.
I have spent endless hours trying many diffferent aproches. Like one forum said go into AL'S IPOD>IPOD CONTROL>ITUNES.. when in there they said to look for a file called ITunesDB and another called ITunesD8.old and switch them and rename ITunesD8.old_mlpmp but i only have the ituned DB not the ItunesDB.old
I also tried
Also when i plug in my ipod a notice in windows says "DO YOU WANT TO SCAN AND FIX E>AL'S IPOD
                                                                                      There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you
                                                                                       remove the device or disc before all files have been writen to it
                                                                                      SCAN AND FIX (RECOMMENDED)
                                                                        this will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc
                                                                                                           OR
                                                                                            CONTINUE WITHOUT SCANNING
So i figure the problem started when i went into my control panel and chose show all hidden files so i can look at my files in the Ipod_control and was fooling around with the preference area by selecting the read only icon and disabling the hidden icon. I tried reversing this before ejecting my ipod but it was stuck in the Synchronizing do not disconnect mode and would not eject. Everytime i did try to eject it said in itunes with a yellow triangle saying " files or folders are in use in another area and cannot eject" even tho everyting has been closed......
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX??????? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

20 GB iPod Color crashes, restarts while syncing

My newly purchased 20 Gig has always had a problem while sycronizing with my mac. It actually crashes (screen goes blank, white apple logo appears after a few seconds) then mounts properly and is visible within iTunes 5.
After successfully attempting a restore, my library of 1400 songs now attempts to sync, but after 1 to 20 songs, the iPod crashes, restarts, and looses any songs it was able to move across. Eventually I got my library accross by checking of each playlist one at a time and "saving my progress" before the iPod would faint.
The iPod plays music fine, and doesn't seem to die when browsing the files via the Finder. The problem seems to be more acute under iTunes 5, but I can't sustantiate that claim.
Any ideas?

Solution? Use firewire. $20 extra is lame (not very much, mind you) but now I don't have to send it in, and the uploads are a tiny bit faster. As I type, I'm 650 of 1300 songs in, without a hickup. Last night, it'd crash after 10. I'll be posting this in a few threads - I apologize if you're reading them all!

Ipod 5th Gen won't sync?

This is the 3rd Ipod i have attached to my Itunes, but for some reason it won't sync?
I've removed all of the previous devices from the account, but it just gets stuck at Step 6 (waiting for changes to be applied) and then cuts out. I had this for christmas, but i don't think i've managed to sync a single track yet. The only way i can get music onto it is to go through my "purchased" list on the store and re-download everything to the device, but with having bought new CD's, i can't do this and means i can't listen to my new music.
I've tried syncing over wifi, manually managing the music and just selecting just a couple of albums in the music tab of my ipod, but nothing seems to work? I'm on the latest software update (7.0.6) and i've just downloaded the updated itunes from this morning.
any ideas?
edit: just noticed that on the drop down box below, it's only listing my ipod 3rd gen as my registered products, but my 5th gen is showing as authorised on my account details, so now sut if this has something to do with it ?

ok, looks like i've sorted the problem - i just kept hitting the sync button and eventually it decided to play ball andis now copying 650 songs over wifi

My iPod 5th generation will NOT sync and I've tried everything.

My iPod has done this before in the past but it seemed to fix itself after awhile and I had all my music again, now - nothing. I've made sure the 'Sync Music' button was clicked, tried it unclicked, tried to manually sync, click every box on the side or my near 1500 song list, I've updated it, deleted and redownloaded itunes, took off every song from my iPod and put it back on, restored my iPod, reverted to last backup but nothing seems to work anymore. Photos, apps, and everything else syncs, just NO music. Also, during syncing, it randomly gives me the option to 'apply' and 'revert' changes without having made any "changes" at all. Is my computer just screwed up? Note that this happened before but all I did to correct that was to click and unclick the 'sync music' button but that doesn't work anymore. I REALLY need help.

Try syncing it with a different computer. If it works correctly on another computer then the issue is your computer. If you get the same results on the other computer get the iPod serviced.

Ipod 5th Gen will not sync movies from Itunes...

I've had this Ipod for a couple of years now and the only way I've been able to put movies on is through a few programs that I've downloaded. I've bought a few movies off of the Itunes store and every time I put it on the iPod, the iPod freezes up, and then sometimes my iPod loses all of it's content. The iPod and iTunes are both up-to-date, is this just an issue with the 5th gens?

Are these HD movies? iPods can only handle SD movies.
Some store downloads include both versions. They will show HD-SD next to them. If so, right-click > Version and make sure SD is checked.
if it just shows HD, you should be able to use the Advanced menu to create an iPod or iPhone version.
