My iPod crashed and my Mac said "Device not removed properly"

Hi,
My Mac suddenly said that I hadn't removed my iPod correctly and when I looked at my iPod, the screen had gone all fuzzy. The thing is, I hadn't touched my iPod, tried to eject it, knocked the cables or anything. So I had to disconnect it and try to reset the thing. The computer doesn't recognise it. It won't switch on unless hooked into my mac and, well, all it has is the little apple symbol on the screen. Has it died?
Please help!

Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Just updated ipod touch to ios6 ipod crashed and won't restore

    just updated ipod touch to ios 6. ipod crashed and won't restore just flashing screen black to white help

    Try:

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • IPods crash and can't back up library - HELP

    I have had an iPod mini for 1.5 years. My spouse got an iPod (30GB video) recently. When we switch between them to update songs from one library, the iPods crash and have to be reset (even that takes a few tries following instructions on iPod help).
    I tried circumventing the problem by copying the library on my laptop from our PC (to have one iPod with one computer, both have XP Pro) with the USB drive but the library won't copy from USB drive to the new iTunes. (it will play songs from USB but won't copy them).
    1. Can I backup the library on another computer?
    2. What is the safest way to create a backup library (CDs in my experience may not last long)?
    3. If we update the computer (hopefully soon) will that mean that we can't copy the library to a new commputer and will lose all the songs we bought?
    4. How can we prevent either iPod from blocking or crashing?
    Thanks for any advice and help.

    Update: Success! I used my iPod as an external hard drive following these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    After I reformatted I reinstalled my old iTunes 6 and dragged the folder back to My Music. At first, iTunes wuldn't sync a couple hundred songs to my iPod because I wasn't "authorized" so I had to enter my Apple ID and password. Downloaded latest software for Itunes and iPod and all is good.
    Investing in an external hard drive still sounds like a good idea, since this was my first reformat and it was a bit nerve-wracking.

    I need help Syncing my ipod to my mac. It has music on the mac currently but I want both my ipod music and the mac music together but it says i have to delete my ipod and only have the Laptop music on it. is there anyway to have both?

    I got a Mac and started buying music on it, and My PC has all of my whole Itunes library which is like 1000+. Well I want to put all of my music on my Mac, But everytime I plug it in and ask it to sync all music it tells me that I have to erase my Ipod and sync in with the music on my Mac... Gosh its so confusing.

  • Device not ejected properly error message on all external storage devices: SD, Ext HD, iPod, IPhone, etc.

    All external storage devices (USB HD, iPod, iPhone, SD card reader, etc) are not staying connected.  Connection runs for 10-15 sec and the error message "card not ejected properly" appears.  Have reformatted cards, performed a OSx install disk permissions and disk repair, re-installed and updated OSx, and PRAM reset.  After the OSx reinstall I had no problems for about 2 days then my iPod shuffle sync triggered the error message.  I follow good practice in ejecting disks from the Finder window or iTunes.

    thought i had it licked after taking to the local service center.  they checked out the hardware and felt there was no problem getting power to the USB and SD ports, eg the suspected cause of the eject.  they thought it might be a buried permissions problem in some dl'ed software that the repair utility would not find/fix.  sooo...i wiped the disk and reinstalled everything from scratch.  worked for about a month and now its showing up again.  just kicked off my shuffle.  the sd reader self ejects after about 10 seconds.  dunno where to go from here.

  • I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud

    I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud. Any Suggestion?

    perfect. ok do the following:
    settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
    Please confirm.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
