My iPod has gone crazy

I recently received a new iPod from Apple that because my old wasn't working. This one has been having problems too. At first, it would sometimes start to skip songs, (with a little rewind symbol constantly in the corner where the play symbol was supposed to go) and I had to run the battery down and recharge it to get it to go away.
Then it stopped playing any songs, it would just go to the next song on the album without playing any one. Then when I let the battery run down, it was frozen on the Apple icon when I recharged it with the charger. Then I plugged it into the computer and it showed the charging symbol that means you need to plug it into the charger for the first time.
So I did, and it loaded the iPod like the time I first got it and asked what language I wanted it in and all my songs were gone. Now every time I plug it into the computer iTunes won't recognize it, and every time I unplug it it resets itself again and asks me for the language and I still can't put any songs on it.
HELP??

Change the passwords for all accounts used on both iPods.

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

Have you tried restarting it? (Holding down the Menu and the Center button until the Apple Logo comes on the screen - usually about 10 seconds).

My iphone 5 has gone crazy...

HELP HELP HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED MY IPHONE.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Be aware that the iPhone warranty is NOT International. You will need to either return to the US with the device and take it to Apple or ship it to someone you know in the US to take it to Apple.

Help, my system has gone crazy!

My imac G5 running Leopard, 10.58 Processor 18 GHz, Memory 2GB has gone crazy. I cannot open ITunes. If I try to download a small file it says my memory is nearly full and I need to clear disk space. Okay I have a few songs on iTunes and 7,900 photos on iPhoto, but that is all. I try to open a document in Word and it says 'you are working without a Word work file and your memory is nearly full'. I am not receiving e-mails when I know they have been sent. What is happening?

Don't worry about Filevault, likely you're not using it if you don't know what it is, but...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileVault
Less than 2GB free is very dangerous, you could loose everything as it's not really free space for our use.
An 80GB drive is really too small for later versions of OSX, you need to free up at the very least another 10 to 20GB.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red and the whites have become blue rain like thing. Its one and a half year old iPad. Really disappointed

"Not to my knowledge."
Hmmm. Are you being completely open with us?
If it was dropped by friend or family, other threads here on this phenomemna indicate slapping it on the back a couple of times with increasing intensity caused the screen to return to normal....but no comment on how long it remained normal. Do a search on this forum for "red screen."
If you can state with certainty that it was not dropped, and if it is still under extended warranty, and if the Apple store believes you, they may give you a rebuilt one.

My 3GS has gone crazy

I have a 3Gs that has gone crazy. Out of a sudden, voice control starts, plays music and even makes calls sometimes, the phone starts switching between applications (closes and opens them) and I can't do anything to stop it even when I touch the cancel button. It does this over and over again. At the same time this problem happened, the home button stopped working. Well it works sometimes when I restart the phone but not always. I don't think it's a matter of pressing the button hard because when it works, it's always the same press I use as before.
I upgraded to iOS4 but the problem still exists. I hope someone out there can give a hand.
Thanks

I did restore the device couple of times and I still have the same problem .. And on more thing, everytime I restored it, I get a msg on iTunes that the device is in recovery mode and that I had to restore the device!!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

My IPod has gone quiet and part of the screen doesn't show anymore.

My purse fell with my IPod in it yesterday and now most of the screen has gone blank although the backlight covers the whole screen. I can scroll down and choose songs, which do come up, but they don't actually play. So that means the sound is shot too.
It is just the middle 2 1/2 lines that show. No battery icon and no track progress line. I have tried resetting it and plugging it in, but that does not work.
I have AppleCare and am thinking of taking it in to a local service provider from the list on this site, but am not sure if that will work.
It was originally bought in December 2004 and already replaced once at the end of 2005 because of battery issues. The AppleCare was purchased just after that.
Will it still be possible, do you think, to get it repaired or replaced again?

i bought my ipod last may and a few months after my dog got ahold of it a chewed on the screen. a few weeks after it did that only the bottom left part of the screen would show and itunes wouldn't read my ipod so i could put new music on it but it would let it charge and today it finally read it and i put new music on it but when i disconnected it, it wouldn't turn on and it wouldn't do anything even when i connected it to the computer. i tried to reset it but it won't work. can't find any help on apple support. i don't kno what to do now! can anyone help me??

So, I'm assuming my iPod has gone up to that big motherboard in the sky.

I own a 3G 30GB iPod that's served me dutifully for the last three or so years, and tonight I'm findind that it's giving me issues.
First of all, the iPod will be stuck at the black apple bootup logo for 5 to 10 minutes, much longer than the normal 1 minute. When it finally does get to the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, it will mount on my desktop, but accessing it via finder only yields the lovely "spinning pinwheel". iTunes, also, does not respond while the iPod is plugged in, even though iTunes recognizes it's plugged in.
It seems that iTunes will recognize the iPod, prompt me to install an update, and then leave the iPod mounted in the finder but not in iTunes. All in all it seems to take 20-30 minutes for it to mount, ask for the update, and then unmount.
It does not restart on it's own. I have to manually unplug it for it to restart. When doing so, the finder and iTunes become responsive once again. After the iPod boots up with the little progress meter seen after an update, it will cycle back to the black apple, where it will stay there for 5-10 minutes, and then the process will start over.
Sometimes, the iPod will start it's automated disk check. After doing this for about 30 minutes, I'll get a "check", which I assume means "all okay", and then the iPod will restart, starting this whole dang cycle over again.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring the iPod by pressing and holding the play/pause button and the select button for 10 seconds?
Have you tried the 5 R's?
(see Apple Support site for article)
Have you tried enabling it for disk use and taking it out of it again to try to 'wake the system up'?
If you have tried all of these then I am sorry to tell you that your iPod has flatlined...
You will want to put it back in its' cube and put it aside so you can remember your good times with it.
(I have just gone through the same situation)
