My ipod touch is frozen blank w/ just the time and full batt. charge icon on top. No response to anything. Would prefer not to restore as i lost most of my music files on my old comp and do not have them on my new itunes. Please help!
Help please! My ipod touch has been acting a little funny lately (freezing often, running out of battery even though it's off, skipping or stopping tracks...). Now it's just plain frozen- it will not respond to holding the middle button down for long periods of time or the off button. it is just blank except for up top still has the same text as usual "ipod" with the time in the center and a full battery charge icon. I have tried everything but restoring as I will lose 85% of my music b/c my old files were lost when my old computer died and now are only on the ipod. Any suggestions? Thanks!
have you tried holding down the home + sleep button together? this could possibly work.

Last time I did an update...I lost most of my music...thousands of songs and had to reinstall them!!!! I am scared as **** to do another update!! I have radio shows to do and can't afford to spend the time with this. Help anyone?
A bit late for this advice now, but hopefully you'll know what to do next time.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My ipod touch 4 (32gb) shuts down all the time
My ipod touch4 (32gb) shuts down all the time, even though the battery is not dead. Seems ever since update in July 2011 I have been having issues with the battery. Please help!

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

None of my ipods work with new itunes, please help me!
I have:
• 3rd gen. nano
• 5th gen. video
• 2nd gen. nano
Both nanos used to work on my macbook, I could add/delete music, sync.. every thing worked perfectly! Also, I just barely bought the classic from someone and it worked as well.
-- TWO DAYS AGO... I updated to the 8.2.1 version of iTunes and since then, none of my iPods, or my boyfriend's brand-new touch work on iTunes. I've finally uninstalled, installed, reset enough things that when I plug in these iPods, they at least show up on my desk top, but all iTunes does is open.
It used to open and give me a warning: "an ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly...please disconnect & reconnect" which did nothing.
My 3G nano works perfectly on my boyfriend's brand-new MacBook, but still nothing on mine.
I've thought and thought and figured that iTunes was the culprit and not my USB ports or cables since I tried other things in the ports and 6 other cables that work fine on other computers.
I've been SEARCHING the internet like crazy, reading millions of forums and 'fixes' but nothing works :'(The same thing happened to me. When I first connected my iPod to my PowerBookG4 after the latest update, it told me to restore my iPod, so I did. Now it tells me there is not enough room to put my music or podcasts onto the iPod, because it is full. However, there is nothing on it since when I restored it took everything off. When I go to the iPod summery page, it says the iPod if full with "other", but I can't figure out what that is, or how to erase it, so I can install my music and podcasts. I run every day and desperately need my iPod, and every place I could otherwise call is closed until Monday. Can anyone help?!!!!!!!!!

i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. -
I have an old ipod touch which won't go past the Apple logo, all it does is show me a loading symbol, but will go no further, i have tried restoring it and i have been successful. It connects and is recognised by my itunes and computer, but still after restoring it, it just won't get passed the logo..what can i do? what is the problem?
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What can i do if my ipod touch is frozen and the lock screen is in blank?
What can I do if my iPod touch is in blank? All I did was just disconnect it from charging and then it was in blank.
See Here...
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My iPod Touch is frozen on the iTunes music note logo and the USB plug picture. Tried resetting - didn't work. Tried restoring - didn't work. Any ideas besides throwing it out my window?
Does the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps of restoring the iPod? If yes then:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

I've just bought an ipod touch but I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?
You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary -
my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???
Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.
