  • My ipod is not being reconized when I plug it in to my pc , why?

    HI, if anyone can help, I appreciate it, I tried to return it but lost the receipt and I bought it a week ago so that kinda stings. Ok my PC froze today like it did a million times before and I had to restore it, after I restored it I tried to hooki up my ipod and it said usb device not reconized. When I clicked on that it said device is not reconized by windows. I tried different usb ports and the same thing keeps happening, but the ipod works when I hook it up to my 360 and all my songs are still on there. I also tried re installing itunes and that didn't work either. If anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks.

    I just got home from my dad's house and my ipod works fine on his PC, so I thought maybe my usb ports are faulty but all my other devices work on all my ports, the only thing that dosent work is my pod, so my pc isn't busted. If anyone knows what I can do please let me know, thanks for the help.

  • My iTouch won't turn on and the computer doesn't register it when plugged in.

    The screen never went white or crashed, it just won't turn on. I tried plugging it into the computer but it won't register and the base of the iPod near the plug area got really hot. I don't know what's wrong with it or what to do. Help please?

    Any charging icon when the iPod Touch get connected?
    If no, you can let the iPod Touch connected with any power source, such as computer usb port, then press and hold the "sleep / wake" and "Home" button at the same time until you can see an Apple icon on the screen (usually take around 20 seconds)
    Maybe you have to send it to Apple if still won't switched on.

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • My ipod touch 4g turned off and wont turn on again because it is frozen on the apple screen. please help!

    My ipod touch 4g turned off and when i try to turn it on it says its not charged. so i charge it and the apple screen comes up but stays frozen like that for a really long time, and then it just goes back to the "needs to be charged" screen. please help!

    - First try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Next connect to a computer and restore the iPod if theiPod appears in iTunes.
    - Next see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen goes out and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. Any suggestions?

    My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem.  Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely.  Push until they click in place.  It solved the problem.  The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep.  Hope this helps.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod is not read by windows, and cannot update!!! please help...

    I have a 30GB, 7500 song ipod Video, just bought last year. The issue all started a month or so ago. I use the "iPod dock connector to USB 2.0 cable" to connect the ipod to the computer. I have tried both USB ports that I have, and both do not work. The ipod is not read by the computer, therefore, the computer acts like there is no connection. Itunes as well, does not read the ipod. I cannot add new songs to the ipod, or even charge it. I have tried all the things the website has said (i.e. restart computer, reset ipod, reinstall itunes, download latest version of itunes). I just updated to itunes 7 today, and this problem has gone on for awhile, therefore it is not because of the itunes 7. Since I figure it is the dock connector I have put in a self service request.
    Apparently this is a common problem...Anyone have any advice? I am desperate...Thanks in advance.

    On iTunes go click Store (on the top left side) then click Authorize computer...

  • Ipod nano keeps turning on and off

    My ipod nano keeps turning off and on automatically and when I push a button once its on then it freezes, and when I reset it then it starts turning on and off again....what do I do someone please help me

    Hello Mo0nangel,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
    Updating iPod software
    If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281.  I had the same problem, but solved it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds.  If you are lucky, that will work for you as well!
