My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER.

My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER. It gives me a Cant mount ipod error now as well. It shows up in device manager as Player Recovery Device Class, and other pc's and macs cannot recognize it. Ive tried multiple ports and it does not work. When it is connected to the port it beeps as it should but then it will randomly beep as it is connected.
Also it does not work at all disconnected from the computer. The light doesnt work on it at all and there is no response whatsoever.

Hi Clayton and everybody.
I got same problem with my Shuffle: the iPod doesnt play, it doesn't response to any button, no LED works. When i plug in the USB 2.0 port i've always used before (with any problem), WinXP Pro says "the device would work better in 2.0 usb" even though I have 2.0 usb, and i need to install a new hardware as a player recovery to get the iPod Updater recognizing it as a "recovery mode".
As you said, there is only option to do a Recover, but when it starts the proccess, the USB unmount (DIDU sound argh!), and the iPod Updater tells me "Error when trying to write disc" after a few minutes stuck in the recover proccess. I've tried in 3 different PCs, and same error...
I've been without using my Shuffle for 1 week (since it suddenly stopped playing music, due to low battery I thinked)...much more than 24 hours! And it doesn't work!
Should I keep trying the "recovery mode restore" expecting for a miracle or what? What can i do? Please help, i would like to do anything possible before aplying the warranty...
Thanks! And sorry for my bad english!

How can i format my ipod in windows?

how can i format my ipod in windows?

iPods are generally formatted in the universal, Microsoft-developed file system FAT32. However since Apple are idiotic they decided to use their proprietary file format (HFS+) for iPods formatted on Macs for no reason whatsoever. Fortunetely newer iPods do not do this. All you need to do is restore it.

Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
See if those two steps clear up your problem.

How do I reinstall ipod 5th gen software after formatting my ipod?

I formatting my ipod because my PC asked me too and now my ipod has a white screen. I've tried resetting it and it won't work. How do I reinstall the ipod's software? It says I need to "use itunes to restore"

I would have a look at your iPod's User Guide for assistance on the different syncing preferences you can set up with your iPod and the different content that can be synced to it.

Windows 7 can't install my iPod and iTunes can't find my iPod

Hello, I've just repaired my laptop and picked up at that shop and when I tryed to plug in my iPod it says :
The device driver is not installed
click here for details
and I don't know what to do
any solutions?? please I need help

it might be worth trying a Windows reformat of the ipod (to FAT32), and then trying to restore again.
if she is showing up in My Computer, right click on her and select format. note that it has to be FAT32 for a Windows formatted ipod:
iPod no longer plays music after formatting or partitioning the hard disk
if the reformatting goes through okay, try plugging her back in and restoring again.
if there's no joy with that, it's probably time to send her in for service, as per:

Laptop stolen but iPod ok - how can I upload my iPod to my new computer

How can i format the ipod touch

Hi evry one ...
I Want to Know what is the best and Secure way to make format for my
ipod touch .... I want it to be like i used it on my first time ...
waiting for answer and i hope that you will put screen shot ( if you can )
so i can understand more and more
thank you so much....

Look at the restoring topic of:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
Alternately, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. If yo have a 1G or 2G iPod you need to have the iPod chargeing since it can take several hours.

Can I format an iPod to work on a mac and a windows?

I have a mac and a dell and I was wondering if it is possible to do something so that I can use it on both. If so, what is that?

Format it on the Windows PC (with iPod Updater), and it will work on the Mac as well, although it is unsupported by Apple. Music transfer will also be a bit slower on the Mac, but is still pretty fast. If you want to syncronize the music between the two computers as well, it gets more tricky, because iTunes only syncronizes one way - from the computer to the iPod and not the other way around. There are solutions for this, though, but as a start, I would not use the auto-sync feature in iTunes.

My ipod was stolen can they restore my ipod without apple id and password

my ipod touch was stolen and i have find my ipod ive reported it stolen with the serial number is there anyway that they can register it or restore it without my apple id and password?

As long as the iPod as signed in to iCloud and FindMyiPod was turned on then to use the iPod someone has to enter the iCloud ID and password.
If there was no screen-lock passcode then someone could continue to use th iPod but could not restore it or signout of iCloud

I forgot my Apple Id and Icloud Id of my Ipod touch. how can i restore my ipod touch with new ID

I have an Ipod touch 5S
I forgot my Apple ID and my Icloud ID
I tried to connect it to Itunes and do a ''restore as new Ipod'' but could not find this option
Can you help me restoring my Ipod as new

You need to recover them because yo will run into:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
Ans if necessary:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
