My ipod classic is stuck in diagnostic mode and will not reset. Please help.

I turned on my iPod classic & it started in Diagnostic mode.  I worked my way through the various tests and press this/press that instructions and now it is stuck.
I can't turn it off or reset it.
I am unable to connect it to my PC at the moment and need help so that I can use it.
I miss my music.

How did you try and reset the iPod?  By pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons togehter long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
What happens if you connect it to iTunes?
If nothing else, let the battery fully drain and then charge it up.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

  • Iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!

    iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!
    please let me know what to do
    the iphoto version is 5.0.1

    Hi ambrosia,
    i am afraid that if you force quit right now you will run into problems opening your library when you next try.
    If it is at all possible (an I don't even know if this will work while iPhoto is running) open a finder window and navigate to the iPhoto Library folder.
    Highlight the folder and hit Command D to duplicate the folder. I am hoping you can do this before any changes are made to the data files that might corrupt them when you force quit iPhoto.
    Once you have the duplicate library, then you can see if you can Force quit iPhoto. You can do this if you see the "force quit" option when you click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock. You can also launch Activity Monitor and find iPhoto in the window and choose to force quit it from there.
    What kind of camera do you have and how many images and or video clips are you trying to download. Sometimes iPhoto gets stuck on very large video clips and eventually they will download.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • HT201210 iPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore.

    My iPhone 4 randomly turned off a few days ago and wouldnt turn back on. I plugged it into iTunes which said it was in recovery mode but will not restore as error 1600 keeps propping up. Someone please help, I have tried lots of ways but none are working.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • Iphone 5C stuck in Recovery Mode and will not restore

    Hi there, iv'e come across what seems to be quite a common problem at the moment.
    I tried to update my 5C to the latest firmware this morning and apparently something went wrong. The update was fine up until about 3/4 way through and then i recived an error message, error (12) to be specific, It now seems to be completely stuck in Recovery Mode as it continues to do the same thing when i try to restore it. Iv'e had previous iphones thta have went into Recovery mode but i easly got past this issue. Nothing i do seems to be helping it, iv'e tried restoring it about 10 times and the same error comes up every time. Iv'e uninstalled and re installed Itunes and still nothing.
    other than taking it to the apple store does anyone have any advice?
    (Windows Fire Wall is also turned off)
    Thank you!

    FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
    Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
    Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.

  • Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore in itunes. HELP!

    Hey Guys
    I tried to jailbreak my iphone (bad idea obviously) and ever since, its been screwing up.
    At first, it was stuck on the apple logo- Then I followed some videos on Youtube and it was stuck on the Pineapple from Redsnow..
    NOW its stuck in restore mode (the screen with the USB and the Itunes symbol) I have tried to restore it 3 times and it gives me an error message (1604) or it doesn't even restore.
    HELPP! It's been like this all day. What could I do?

  • Please help, iPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and will not update.

    I tried to update my girlfriend's iPhone 5 (AT&T) from 6.1.2 to 7.0.4 last night and something went wrong so of course I had backed it up so I put the phone into recovery mode and attempted to completely restore it and then restore from back-up (or at least that was my plan) but the problem is that once I got it in recovery mode and started the update it froze mid-update (Not a computer problem, I have a rMBP 2013, 2.3 ghz i7 & 16GB ram) so after about 30 minutes of watching it at the same spot I unplugged it and attempted to start over. Now everytime I attempt to update it it tries to re-download the software and once it gets completely downloaded it says it was corrupted during the download. I have also attempted to download the IPSW manunally and update that way and it now gets partially through the update and throws an error message. I have tried to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and it does not work either. I am out of options, I have no idea what else to do. I aplogize for my ****** grammar and sentence structure I am flustered and haven't taken the time to proofread it.

  • Error Code 21, iphone 4S stuck in DFU mode and will not restore!

    Hi All,
    My brand new Iphone 4S will not switch on unless it is connected to the charger/usb connection to the laptop, before we go any further the battery is fully charged. When you connect the phone to the charger plug you can go through the set up routine until a point is reached when it displays "conect to itunes" however, as soon as you disconect the usb cable from the charger plug to conect it to the laptop it appears to just switch off and then display the apple logo, the screen then goes blank and then the logo again, it carries on doing this indefinately.
    I can get the phone into DFU mode and itunes will recognise it, IOS 5.0.1 downloads and it attempts to restore the phone but I then get an "unknown error message (21)" I just cant get past this point, I have also tried the restore procedure on a friends Windows laptop and a MacBook Pro but still no joy.
    I have booked an appointment at my nearest Genius Bar (which is miles away) on Thursday but I could well do without having to make this trip, can anyone please advise me if there is something else to try?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply, yes I did disable my firewall and antivirus software staight after my first failed restore attempt but it made no difference, like you I also checked out the error code explination.
    What I cant understand is why dosent this phone does not work straight out of the box?...its brand new, I have not tried to jailbreak it, (I have recently seen this as a possible cause in another post) I just want the bloody thing to work!
    I also forgot to mention in my post that the phone will not respond to any key presses or show any signs of life unless it is conected to a power source and beleive me it has spent most of the last 2 days conected to one due to this, the battery indicator shows it is fully charged.
    Any more help is very much appreciated.
