My ipod resets every few minutes

I dropped my ipod (mini first gen.), and it froze, so i did the quick reset, and the apple sign showed up on it for a long time, and then the language selection screen came up, and my ipod completely reset, with all my music deleted. After a few minutes when I turn it on it goes to the apple for a long time and it is reset again. This is a recurring event. When i plug my ipod into my (windows) computer iTunes and the ipod updater do not recognize it, but it shows up in the "my computer" folder. I have no clue what to do now, any ideas?
Dell inspiron 8100   Windows XP  

Thank you for trying to help.
Alas still no solution! My iPod is also unrecognized by computer...or more acurately-
iPod is momentarily recognized and then not. In other words updater runs, says "connect iPod," then says "waiting for iPod" then returns to prompt to plug in iPod. Over and over again.
iTunes never sees.
Oddly iPod display did change and instead of Apple logo now it has the "do not disconnect" message. Hmmmm.

  • Disconnect​/Reconnect every few minutes

    I just had Fios installed 4 days ago.  I've got a M1424WR wireless router.  Firmware up-to-date, 2 computers one wired one wireless. and every few minutes I'm disconnected from the system and reconnected.  Almost every web site has to be reloaded 2-3 times until there is a response.  The Verizon Tech phone support didn't see anything wrong with the service or router.  As a matter of fact, 6 lights are lit on the router and when this happens they generally don't go yellow or go out.  It just looks like the connection to the router is fine.  I've rebooted the router, even rebooted the back up power.  I have a feeling that there is just a setting somewhere that needs to be changed.... anyone have any ideas?  For reference, it's a lenovo laptop, IBM build.  I'm desperate to get this resolved as it's impacting my work.

    Well, you have two computers. one wired and one wireless.
    Do both of them drop connections or just one of them? If both, do they drop at the same time?
    If it is just one of them, then I'd look at the connection itself or the computer. If it is both, then I'd look at the router or verizon network.
    Assuming it is both. You've already rebooted the router, did you try resetting the router also? Also try reseating the wan cable to the router as well. If your still having an issue at this point. I would call tech support back and ask them if they can pull up the history log on the ONT. This will hopefully tell them if the drops are happening on the inside or outside of the house.
    Do you have any other fios services? Telephone or TV? Do they have any issues?

  • My Airport Extreme Disconnects From the Cable MoDem Every Few Minutes

    Hello,
    I start a new topic as my previous title was wrong and there was no suitable answer.
    I have had an Airport Extreme for 3 years and it sometimes disconnects after a few minutes. Actually, it more looks like that the Airport crashes: the "PC Link" light on the cable modem goes off, the Airport lights go off and I cannot find my Airport Network any more on my computer.
    When this happens, I can either unplug it from the power and plug it back in, or simply move the Airport around a little bit, and it will re-start. Sometimes the problem does not re-occur for a few hours or days, sometimes it keeps happening every few minutes and of course drives me crazy...
    Is it because ... :
    - ... my Airport has a faulty connection and I should replace it?
    - ... there are power surges in my electricity installation (eg this seems to happen when I or my neighbors have air conditioners on, I live in one of those old New York buildings with old electricity installations), and I should get an anti-surge device, or a newer Airport would deal with this better?
    - ... of something else? I tried replacing the Ethernet cable between the MoDem and the Airport and it failed, there does not seem to be a source of interference around my place.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have had similar problems. Not as bad as some of you but usually in the morning I discover that I have dropped onto someone elses wireless they are not as fast. Then I have to troop upstairs, unplug the Extreme, replug it and then everything is allright until the next morning. But it is sporadic. It has run fine now for a few days. This problem has persisted now for a year. And yes I have tried resetting it.
    Next month I plan on going to the big city and I am going to take my Extreme to one of Genius' at the Apple Store. I am curious if anybody else has tried that solution and how much it might cost.

  • WRT400n reboots every few minutes

    HI,  I have this router and was working great......  THEN I get this great idea,  oh yeh, check to see if there is a firmware upgrade and there is.  Well I updated it with the newest and only one out there.   I did the upgrade, said sucessful and now it will just random reboot or something........ every few minutes the power light starts flashing....... then all the light go out, then power flashes again and it comes back up.   I have tried many times to reflash it with that new firmware but no avail.  I wish I had the old firmware back because it was working fine till I did this upgrade.   Anyone or Cisco persons have a solution for me,  can I get a copy of the original firmware or what is going on.    I am about ready to switch brands.... I've been a loyal Linksys/Cisco guy for long time but this and couple other routers I worked on are getting me to wonder.  Please help.......... thanks.

    Yeh I have done a hard reset numerous times....  I have re-flashed it 3 times.   I just did flashed it again, and did a hard reset and setup my router settings the way I want it.  I will see what happens overnight and repost my solutions.  My guess is it will start acting up again...... I've tried everything.    Does anyone know where I can get the original flash file for the WRT400n,  it was working fine till I tried to update with the latest one.....  should have left it alone.  If I can't fix it....... I am switching brands.

  • IMac 20" - whirring noise every few minutes

    hi
    since yesterday, every few minutes a whirring noise occurs. It builds up quite loudish like a crescendo and then resorts back to normal sound levels pretty much straight away once it has hit the highest noise level. Roughly happens every 4 mins and lasts approx 10 seconds. Also happens when im not using/running anything.
    i better mention the night before it started i had to move the iMac off my desk for the first time and therefore pulled the mains out. checked other internet discussions that were based on fan noise and which suggested removing the mains lead again and waiting for 15 secs. i have done this but the whirring noise still occurs.
    does anyone have suggestions what it might be?
    thanks in advance
    adam

    thanks guys for the quick reply.
    i shall have a go at resetting the SMC now and will let you know if it continues.
    more information required; come to think of it, the noise sounds like when you put something in a fan and when the blades passes it, it makes that flipping noise. or even when you put a ruler on the end of the desk and 'flick' it it makes that same flipping noise.
    hope you can try and work out from that what i mean. not the best at describing noises. just seems weird how its like a crescendo and then dies out straight away once its got to a high noise. it seems like its coming slightly to the NW of the middle of the screen. also seems to make a louder noise when ive got a few things open.
    hope that helps.
    will try the SMC and will report back.
    thanks again

  • BT Homehub 2 dropping connection every few minutes

    Hi, my homehubs been working perfectly until today when it started dropping the connection every few minutes (ranging from 3 minutes up to 13). The broadband and phone lights go out then orange and then back to blue after about a minute.
    Having browsed the forums etc Ive changed the location of the hub, changed channels, checked cabling and changed the microfilter.
    Im now at a bit of a loss. The firmware is Version 8.1.H.J (Type A) and i notice that the firmware updated on todays date.
    Im hoping someone has some ideas as im all out now.

    I have the same problem friday afternoon at 4.30 to 11.30 at night the router reset itself every five minutes ....the prob first started in nov 2010 i have had 3 home engineer visits and finally we might be getting somwhere it looks like its caused by interferance on the line the phones fine its the broadband ,looking at the engineers meter it was running fine then all of a sudden it spikes erros 21,000 of them the router reboots and steadys again .......somthings causing line interferance it could be anything a pir on a security light ,a street lamp with a faulty timer ,there has even been a case where a car tyre garage has had its broadband removed by sombodys faulty tv .......
             the engineer fitted a resistor box under the wall socket and ran the wires through it to the socket ...this is disigned to filter out certain frequencies of line pollution but not all ......it seems to be working its only shut down twice tonight and that could be the exchange mucking about as they are continuing to monitor the problem ......HOPING ....... oh he also removed the front of the wall socket and fitted me a dsl one with a separate phone socket hence doing away with the dsl filter ......................

  • ITunes 10.5 starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason

    iTunes 10.5 installed on a Vista system to perform the iPhone 5.0 iOS upgrade.  Now iTunes starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason.  Exiting iTunes will close it (and, of course, remove it from the Task manager list of running applications), but in a while it will restart all over again.
    Thoughts?

    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.

  • IPhone constantly turns its self off every few minutes

    My mother came to me with her iPhone, and told me about this problem she has been having, and this is the best way I can think of to state it.
    Her phone turns its self off every few minutes. It never does it while she is using it. It's only when she puts it in her pocket for a little while and then pulls it back out to use it again. It also will not turn on by doing the normal way of holding the ON button for two seconds. It will only turn on when you reset it by holding the On and Home buttons at the same time, and it seems to take much longer than it does on my 3G. It sometimes will only turn on by connecting it to the charger, because the reset method isn't working. She claims it has not had low battery while doing this, because she keeps it charged. I have observed myself to make sure, and the phone is almost 100% charged the last few times it has done this.
    Any suggestions out there?

    Since a doing a reset has not resolved the problem, the next step is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the backup. If no change after restoring from the backup, restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after either restore method, time to give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart, or log out and in again.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    If you can't do that because of Finder problems try starting in Safe Mode and doing the same.
    If neither of these options works then boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume and re-install OS X
