My ipod keeps restarting...want the music
Ipod was working fine and then it just started restarting and restarting over and over and wont stop. I have tried everything. Letting the battery die and recharging it. It will enter disk mode and diagnostic mode. I need to know if its done for good cause i would really enjoy getting all my music off the pod before i give it a toss. I know i can just restart it but the music is the most important part. 4000 songs gone?
You may need to restore it, if the iPod does not show up in iTunes in the sidebar as it normally does.
However, if the iPod is recognized by the system, you may want to run a third-party utility to see if you can offload your song files first (from iPod to PC), BEFORE using the Restore function in iTunes.
I'm not that familiar with the utilities available for Windows. The one I use is not free ($25) and there is a Windows version of the software.

You can try it for free in a crippled mode. At least that will show if the song files are recoverable.
You may find a good free utility by searching on "ipod transfer" in Google.

Even as I try and submit this question, I have to keep restarting the iMac. Wifi is not the problem, and all other applications such as iPhoto, WP, PS, etc work. It's only Safari that cannot hold the connection. I want the downlevel version back so I can work again. But, don't know how to uninstall and install previous version. Help me, I'm drowning in restarts!
If you do not have a backup of your previous system, there is no easy way to revert back to the previous OS X version.

My ipod keeps restarting, what is wrong with it?
my ipod keeps restarting and deleting music, what is wrong with it?
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
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!!!!

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.

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings -
Can I change user profile of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?
A friend updated my IPOD with all of their music with their profile. However, I would like to make changes but keep most of the music that was uploaded. Can I change the user profile (username and password) of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?
Your frend does not have the right/lience to give the music to you. You should delete that music.
If he set up the iPod with his iTunes account you should restore the iPod from a backup of the iPod that should be on your computer. That will delete his music but restore your settings. -
My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button
Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

I'm trying to transfer my purchases but my ipod keeps restarting
When I transferred my purchases, it only transferred about 40 songs and then my ipod restarted itself. I need to figure out how to get my apps and songs on to my new computer. When i go to sync my apps, it says it will replace everything with the few apps that I have on my computer. My Ipod keeps restarting itself and will not let me transfer anything to my computer.
Hello Lori,
Does your iPod appear in iTunes? Do you have it set up to sync music from under the iPod's music tab? Perhaps this support article can be of assistance.

I have had this problem for a few days now. My Ipod keeps restarting when it tries to play a song. I've tried to reset the factory settings, and I've tried to format everything manually, but nothing has worked.
It happens when trying to play a song. Also happens when switching Songs clicking the wheel. It also restarts when the Nano is playing "Music Quiz".
I've tried almost everything to fix it.
????HELP????

Ipod keeps restarting automatically
i recently put a 1gb file onto my ipod to use it as a usb drive to transport the file from one computer to another, and ever since i disconnected my ipod, every time i turn it on, it turns on, restarts, and keeps restarting until the battery runs out and it dies. i realize that i can format the ipod, but i would rather wait until i see if there is any other way of fixing this problem b/c formatting and putting everything back on my ipod takes about 4 hours. [i dont have a usb 2.0 drive]
Sai,
I respectfully suggest that you lose that attitude if you want anyone to reply to this post at all.
This is a user to user forum, and no one who posts here is an Apple employee, we are users just like yourself who take the time and trouble to spend time here out of our own free will, and we do it to help other users.
There are probably no replies to your query because no one knows why your iPod automatically pauses in the manner you describe. I gave a suggestion earlier (a cause which I might add others have experienced), but you were adamant that wasn't the case.
Instead of coming here swearing at us, have you used the search facility to look for any posts which might concern your issue? -
I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!
This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder. -

- 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.

I updated my daughter iPod touch. Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular. I need to move the music back on the iPod so that she can listen to it without WiFi. I tried to Restore backup but still does not work. I tried to sync, still does not work.
Is the music in your iTunes library?
Why can't you sync?
You said "Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular."
where does it state that?
Just redownload them from iCloud to the computer and the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
