My ipod just keeps flashing!!!!  Help please!

I have a 2nd gen ipod nano and for the last few months all its done is flash the apple logo! I've tried just about every conceivable solution posted on the internet with no luck and am at a loss as to what to do next.
When I connect to the comp it doesn't seem to pick it up, itunes has no trace of it (I've downloaded the new version), so wots up with it? Can anyone help????

You might want to ask in the iPod shuffle forum (https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_shuffle) - this forum is for questions on using the iPad in Enterprise.

    - Try using the Spotlight search. It is likely you just can't find it.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Last, restore the iPod.

  • My ipod just keeps sync it want let me do anything I try to reset it but it want let me do that either. It just keeps having the loading symbol for hours and hours. Whats wrong?

    My Ipod just keeps doing the sync circle, It want stop. Tried to reset it but it keeps doing the same thing I can't even get on my ipod. Not sure what the problem is.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • My iPod just keeps skipping songs

    My iPod just keeps skipping through songs and won't play anything.

    It skips on my ipod directly not my computer. It would play one song then just keep skipping through and wouldn't play anymore. I figured out how to fix it though. You need to push the menu button and the circle in the middle at the same time until the apple comes onto the screen, this should reset it. It worked for mine. Thanks

  • My power mac g4 won't switch on power switch just keeps flashing?

    My G4 has suddenly stopped powering up. The power button just keeps flashing slowly, but the monitor shows nothing, any suggestions?

    Was there any beeping at power on?  Is the flashing a sequence of short flashes at half-second intervals, with the sequence repeated at five-second intervals?  That may indicate a memory or logic board problem.
    Also, have you reset the CUDA chip?
    FInally, how old is your PRAM battery?  That may be causing problems as well, though usually PRAM related problems show up later in the boot process.

  • My ipod touch keeps flashing the logo and will not turn on nor does the computer recognizes it.

    I downloaded Cydia a couple of days ago, now my Ipod touch keeps flashing the apple logo.

    Try the remaining items here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful and you can't turn the iPod completely off let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least of hour try again.
    If still not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod touch keeps crashing! Please help!!

    My iPod touch keeps crashing.  Apps, Camera, settings. Everything. It just started after I installed the last update. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Restarts are not helping.

    Try restoring the iPod, first using a backup and if that doesn't help then as a new device.
    Regards.

  • Can't turn off my ipod, just keeps spinning and clicking

    I have a 40GB click wheel ipod, about 1 year old. I just tried to update my playlist, but my computer couldn't recognise the ipod. I tried to reset it, but now all it says is "Disk mode, OK to disconnect", but the little hard drive keeps spinning and clicking and I can't turn it off. It doesn't matter if it is connected or not to the computer. Any help please? Thank you.

    Mary PS,
    I had the same problem with my iPod, sad iPod icon/www.apple/support/ipod, and I tried many times to reset/restore, but nothing would work and the enitre time I could hear the hard drive cycling.....and I figured well hit it with a ball peen hammer cause it is going back to apple regardless....sure enough "whumped" it into the palm of my hand and I was able to reset/restore it......This can't be the answer, can it? Is there physical damage and that is why the hard drive was "cycling"? What does Apple recommend that I do?
    thanks
    Tim

  • Former pc user converted to mac..ipod not recognised? help please

    I have just changed my operating system from windows to mac osx. I plugged in my ipod and it only recharges,it doesn't recognise ipod. I assume this is becauseI need to reformat the ipod.Can anyone inform the the process involved,I have looked through endless pages of mac support and can not find a definitive answer. I have downloaded the latest ipod updater and still nothing. Help please.

    Adrian
    Here's a few suggestions to try.
    1. Restart your Mac then plug in the iPod. Open "Disk utility" and see if your iPod shows up. Sometimes the "spinning beachball" icon may show up, give at least 15 mins before you conclude that the Mac is locked up. You can also try hitting the Mount button. This may cause the iPod to show up.
    2. If that does not work, go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac", click "more info" and go to FireWire. See if the iPod shows up there.
    3. If #1 and # 2 does not work then download the latest PC version of the iPod updater. Instal on your PC, restore using this which would wipe the iPod. When this is done, connect to your Mac. If it shows up in Disk Utility then your can Erase and format "Mac OS extended". If this step is not successful, hit the "security options" button and select "zero all data" and try again. You may then need the Mac version of the latest iPod updater to update firmware.
    Hope one of this works for you.
