My ipod will not reset after several attempts

I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

HT1414 my ipod will not reset after forgetting password

my 15 year old forgot her password an now her ipod want do anything.It just has "ipod is disabled"

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install.
I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc.,
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation. I've disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.
FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player
I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

My ipod mini fell too the other day in school. I picked it up and the screen was blank. I've tried to reset it and I've hooked it up to the computer. Itunes wont come up and it has the battery icon less than half full. But when I charge my ipod to the wall or on my radio, press the button down for 10-15 seconds, the screen lights up and it works normally. I just got it fixed almost year ago when this exact thing happened, and i the warrenty is done. so someone please reply this with the solution. i don't feel like buying a new ipod, i rather just pay 70 dollars to send it in and get it fixed.

HT4235 ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

IPod will not reset no way, no how, but works.

5th gen 30 GB iPod about two months old will not reset. It isn't frozen, but it will not reset. I've done everything except restoring it and I'm hesitating to do that because I'm not sure how to back up all the music on the iPod to iTunes. There are more songs on the iPod than are on the computer. Is there some way to copy all the songs from the iPod onto the computer???

If it's not frozen, why would you need to reset it?

Ipod will not restore after update

I downloaded the new version to make app. to my ipod touch and I was told to restore my ipod to have the update. Now my Ipod will not restore and I have lost everything in Itunes also. What do I need to do?

I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

Ipod classic will not restore and will not work after many attempts

I have purchased and replaced 3 ipod models, This is my third one (80GB ipod classic) and with out fail after 1 year and 2 months after buying it, it stopped syncing with my itunes and now after 5 attempts to restore it will not restore and will not work. I am sick of this and find it preposterous. What is wrong with ipods..? what is wrong with my recent one?

I have tried to restore via itunes and I still get the same message on the Ipod after many many restore attempts."Use iTunes to restore" with the picture of a plug on the screen and then it just shuts down. Exactly 1 year and 2 months after I purchased it as was the previous Ipod I had in 07.... what is going on?
Are ipods not made to work with both macs and pc's? it seems they just shut down after a while
what can I do?

My Ipod will not reset.

Is it time for a new device? Nothing I do clears the screen. The last thing I was doing was to update the software. Now all that is on the screen is the iTunes logo and a cable pointing to the logo. It will not turn off or reset.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Ipod will not reset or restore

I have tried to reset my ipod at least 50 times, and have download the update in an effort to restore the ipod but my computer doesn't recognize my ipod so the software cannot d/l to the ipod, what can I do, is it a software issue or a hardware issue. What can I do to get it going, if anything?
Ipod 5th Generation Windows XP

I am having the same issue. The computer will not recognize the ipod. I've seen both the folder with exclamation point and sad ipod icons. When I connect it to the computer I get either the apple or the do not disconnect screen. It sounds like the ipod is trying to start up but then there is a clicking noise and it starts up again. Is this a battery issue? None of the home remedies have worked (and I HAVE read and tried them). Where or how can I get this fixed?
Thanks.

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

Mac Pro will not reboot after Bootcamp attempted installation

I have an older quad-core 2009 Mac Pro. I tried to install Bootcamp before realizing that it's not supported. Now the Mac Pro will not reboot.
It starts up fine. It shuts down fine. But it just will not reboot. When I try to reboot, it just clicks like it's trying to boot to a DVD or a drive that's not there (I have since formatted the drive I was using for Bootcamp and use it for Time Machine now).
This is what I have tried:
- PRAM reset
- SMC reset
What could be keeping my Mac Pro from rebooting properly?? Please help. Thank you!!

So you tried with Mac and Windows on same drive?
And you have Recovery partition.
You made a clone with CCC as well and cloned the Recovery
Paragon makes a couple programs to make life easier.
And, Well, Boot Camp works. There are unwritten rules. There is a forum devoted to it.
2009 is not old. Old is pre-2008 due to UEFI / EFI64 and how Windows 64-bit now looks during install.
It did install but the drivers and updates and such might be an issue.
Apple does not support HFS arrays, not just that Windows won't install but to mount, their Apple HFS driver.
You left out so much and maybe your IT didn't include Windows on Mac.
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
In general pull all your drives during install except that one Windows will be installed on.
Do get video driver from ATI etc yourself
Tell us what version, I assume Windows 8 which works fine other than a few issues - more with MacBook series and iMac or Mac Mini lines.
