My ipod keeps restarting and i can't find anything online to fix it.

I was using my ipod touch 4g today and it was being slow and freezing a little, so restarted it.  That usually works but this time for some reason my ipod didnt get past the apple logo and it just keeps restarting.Anything i can do? I've seen people fix it on youtube, but they all require the use of the home button, and mine is broken.  Is there any other way to fix it?  And if not, will apple replace it? It's not jailbroken or anything.  Thanks and advance.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC       
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.

  • Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything

    Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
    After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
    Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 with 4GB Ram.

  • My macbook pro has 750gb storage but it says it is full with 550gb being "Other" and I can't find anything it could be. There's no way I have this much on my computer. How can I find it?

    I've searched the entire computer for what could be 550gb and I can't find anything. I have about 120gb of music, 30gb pictures, 22gb applications, 8gb video, and the documents on my computer can't be more than 10gb. How can I find out what is taking up all this space, it doesn't seem possible?

    Download Omni Disk sweeper and use it to identify what's what on your Mac.

  • My MacBook Pro has an SDXC card slot. I insert a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo into slot but nothing happens and I can't find anything through finder or in utilities. Am I missing something or is it a faulty reader?

    My MacBook Pro has an SDXC card slot. I insert a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo into slot but nothing happens and I can't find anything through finder or in utilities. Am I missing something or is it a faulty reader?

    The SD card slot ois for SD cards not Memory Sticks. hat is why nothing is happening. you will need a Memory stick reader that connects to one of the USB ports.

  • My Ipod keeps restarting and showing the Apple Logo over and over....

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!! My Ipod keeps restarting, or turning off, I'm not sure which, but when it does that then it shows the Apple Logo, it will go to the main screen for maybe 1 second, but then it does this cycle over again. It has been doing this for a while now. It is also unresponsive, I and tried the R things but they didn't work either. I have tried plugging it up and it hasnt helped, I have no idea what to do. Oh and I havn't dropped it or anything, I have taken very good care of it. The only thing I can think of that ould be wrong with it is that my Dad had it plugged into his car radio, he says it started doing this action while it was plugged up to that, but I have no proof of that. He also plugged it into his computer, which has none of the Itunes software on it, to try to download my songs onto his computer, he says all the songs copied to his computer just fine. I plugged the Ipod into my Ihome and it froze up, when it unfroze I saw that I had all of my songs, but then it started to Turn off and show the Apple Logo. If you have any suggestions please contact me!!!!

    Genug geweint -
    nach 3 Wochen funktioniert es wieder-I fixed it, after 3 weeks
    leider kann ich nicht sagen, an was es liegt/
    sorry, but I am not able to tell you what the problem was
    Da es jetzt geht, ohne dass ich an Vista etwas geändert hätte, vermute ich, dass eines der Apple Programme des Fehler verursacht.
    I did not change anything with Vista but it works now. Though I think the failure occured because of one of the Apple products.
    Schritt für Schritt / step by step
    1. iPod auswerfen / diconnect your iPod
    2. holen Sie sich alle wichtigen Windowsupdates/
    update your windows
    3. holen Sie sich iTunes noch einmal aber installieren Sie es nicht/
    download iTunes again, but don't install it.
    4. deinstalliere alle Appleprogramme
    (ich nutze nur die 6 Apple Programme, die zwangsweise mit iTunes installiert werden, ob es Sinn macht auch Safari zu löschen kann ich nicht sagen,weil ich es nicht nutze,aber vielleicht sollte man alles rausschmeißen)
    deinstall all Apple-software
    (I use only the software wich comes together with iTunes. I don't use safari. You might deinstall it as well, if you use it on a PC)
    5. Verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem PC
    Ohne iTunes hörte der "Kampf" zwischen Windows und iTunes auf (logo!).
    Solange der iPod davor verbunden war gab es Fehlermeldungen sowohl von iTunes als auch von Windows und der iPod flog bei beiden Systemen raus. Jetzt ließ Windows den iPod in der Liste der angeschlossenen Geräte. Ich habe ihn neu formatiert und dann ausgeworfen.
    Connect your iPod.
    Without iTunes the struggle between windows and iTunes was over.
    As long as iTunes was installed and a iPod was connected I got a notice of a failure from iTunes and windows. both of them disconnected the iPod. Now windows kept the iPod an I was able to format it, then I disconnected it.
    6. Da ich keine Zeit mehr hatte habe ich den Computer heruntergefahren und erst mehrere Stunden später wieder angemacht. (ob das spätere Hochfahren von Bedeutung ist werde ich wohl nie erfahren, ich erwähne es nur, um möglichst keinen Schritt auszulassen)
    I drove down the computer and turned it on again after a few hours. (Is it necessary to wait a few hours? I don't know. I mention it only)
    7. Installieren Sie iTunes / install iTunes
    8. starten Sie iTunes / start iTunes
    9. verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem Computer / connect your iPod with your PC
    Bei mir haben die Fehlermeldungen aufgehört und ich konnte das "kaputte" Gerät wieder mit Musik, Filmen und Hörbüchern füttern.
    Ich hoffe es klappt auch bei Ihnen.
    In my case there were no further messages of a failure. I got music, movies and audiobooks on my daughters iPod.
    Interessieren würde mich schon, warum ein System plötzlich spinnt, obwohl ich "außer" updates nichts verändert hatte.
    Why happened it???

  • I updated my iPod to the newest software and now my it keeps restarting. I can't view anything. The logo is the only thing I can see. I can't even turn it off.

    I hooked my iPod touch (4th generation) up today and it said that there was new software to be downloaded so I downloaded it. Everything seemed fine but when it was complete it restarted and restarted and is continuing to keep restarting. Has been for a good hour. I can't turn it off, restore or anything. What can I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync, restarted and now can't find it.

    Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync on XP SP-3 computer. Restarted Firefox as instructed. Can't find Firefox Sync. Nothing popped up on restart as instructions stated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After Firefox Sync downloaded

    After a bit more pecking around on the phone I found it under the personalize, View all HTC widgets screen.
    Thanks though for the quick response and pointing me in the right direction.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro, Type recovery and Search can't find anything

    System is installed in a classroom with the latest updates. One of the lessons had the students type
    recovery on the Tiles page and it should return 5 results (the other 10 systems in the room returned the correct results). This system couldn't find anything so I got called to troubleshoot.
    I first compared locations being searched in Indexing Options
    to the system right next to this system. They were identical. Next, I went into
    Advanced and chose the Delete and Rebuild Index option. Weirdly, while the indexing was going on, I did a search for
    recovery and it found some entries. I didn't think to compare the results to the other system, I just assumed I had resolved the problem. No luck, after the indexing was complete, I typed in
    recovery and no results were found!
    Since another option under Advanced is to choose a new location for the
    Index File. I figured it couldn't hurt although I didn't think it would help either. I decided to more the
    index file to the root directory on the C: drive. That didn't work, the system just ignored the change. Each system is this classroom has two
    BACKUP partitions on the external drive attached to each system. We use
    System Images so that's why two BACKUP partitions, allows us to always have at least one backup in case something happens. I next tried relocating the
    Index File to the second BACKUP partition (H:). Surprisingly, that fixed the problem. My question is: WHY!!!

    Hi,
    According to your description,it seems that the permission caused this issue.
    I suggest that you try using build-in administrator to test it.
    Also,check the Write permission on the C:drive.

  • My iPod keeps restarting and making a loud clicking noise as it does.

    Also, the computer doesn't recognize at all that there is anything in the USB, So I can't even reset the iPod. I'm stuck for what to do, It wont play or do anything, just when It has battery Will bring up the apple logo, make a clicking noise and repeat this, over and over.

    This is often the description of a stuck hard drive (read/write heads stuck and can't move). I have seen a few "fixes" for this. One is to but the iPod in the freezer for a half hour then start it again and see if the differences in expanding parts unsticks it. The other more immediate "fix" is to get something firm like a phone book, start the iPod and then firmly (but not super hard) slap the ipod down on the phone book flat on its back, basically jarring it. This sometimes frees up the drive.
    Of course, I am only relaying what I have read that has worked for some people in the past. So take it for whatever that is worth and try anything at your own risk.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • I restarted my macbookpro but it doesn't start again. It starts to run and a grey screen appears bus after a few seconds it shuts down. Please help. I can't find anything online

    Help me please just a grey screen with the apple logo appears and it looks like its going to start up but doesnt

    See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R  keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

  • Hello i lost my ipod touch 5g and I can not find I lost 8 months ago and i try to find whith  find my iphone I need help please

    help

    The battery would be dead by now
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • When I try to play one of the games my ipod classic freezes and I can not do anything what do I do

    Can anyone help as to either why my iPod freezes when I try to play the games or how to sort it out when it freezes

    You could try to reset your iPod.  Here is how:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.   Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

  • I just synced with my MBP, but my iCloud account email address remains in a "inactive" status. Under settings the Apple ID and Password is wrong, and I can't find out how to fix it

    I just switched over to an iPhone 4 CDMA on the verizon network the other day. I connected with my MBP/ w Lion and the sync seemed to go flawless.... All my date was pushed thru the iCloud, but then I saw that my main email address @me.com says that it is inactive when I look at it in Settings- Mail-Accounts. I can see that the iCloud account name and password is wrong, but I can not seem to find out how to correct it. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks a lot,
    Fred

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.
