My itouch 4g is in a infinity respring loop

my itouch 4g is in a infinity respring loop, and my home button is broken, so i cant put it in DFU mode. how can i fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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.

    You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
    However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
    You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

  • IPhone frozen from bug?

    I bought a refurbished iPhone at the weekend. It is a 3GS and was running one of the earlier iOS. It worked fine. Then I updated it. I worked fine. Later, I noticed the phone application wouldn't turn on, i'd tap it and it would start to open but then freeze. The same has happened with my contacts. All of the other apps worked fine. I decided to do a restore. It took 7 hours, but put my phone into some sort of coma. It keeps showing the battery charging and the time etc. then changes to the swirly arrow loading icon. What's going on?

    Did you jailbreak the iPhone after restoring it? You are stuck in what's called a Respring Loop. It normally happens after some type of third party software is installed and is not compatible with your device.

  • P67A-G43 B3: Cannot POST--reboot loop on formerly working system--out of ideas

    So I bought a computer today off of Craigslist.  I demoed it before buying, running CPU and GPU benchmarks and playing a bit of Skyrim.  Everything looked good.  I put it in my car, drive for 10 minutes (no big bumps/turns to speak of) get it into my apartment, plug it all in and *BOOM* the computer starts for a sec and then powers down, going into a loop, doing it over and over till I hit reset.  6 hours later, I have made no progress, hoping someone here might have some suggestions.
    Specs:
    P67A-G43 B3 board
    i5 2500k CPU
    16gb GSkill DDR3 1600 Ram (2x8 gb)
    Geforce gtx 480 video
    Corsair 650W PSU
    What I've already done:
    First, I re-seated ram and video.  Same issue.
    Then, I tried re-seating the motherboard, took it out and screwed it back in (thinking something came loose and caused a short).  No dice.
    Next, I tried resetting CMOS (unplug power, hit "reset CMOS" button, took battery out for 5-10 mins, replaced).  The computer boots!  But, no video.  No harddrive access.  No nothing, other than the fans, as far as I can tell.  I restart, and it's back to square one (with the infinity reboot loop).  This behavior is repeatable, IE if I reset CMOS, it gets it out of the loop for one start, but there are no other changes.  It doesn't constantly restart, but it's not giving me anything more than that, and the restart behavior returns as soon as I power off.  In fact, if I short the Power On switch on the board to turn the power off, the system comes back on about 2 seconds later with an infinite loop.  Strange.
    Then, I took everything out of the box, re-assembled on a breadboard with bare minimum components.  With CPU and No RAM, the behavior is the same (including the reset CMOS behavior).  Ditto if I add a stick of RAM (tried it with both sticks, in a bunch of different slots, no difference) and if I add the video card in.
    Additionally, I've re-seated the CPU heatsink, no effect.  I've checked the pins on the CPU for any bent pins--I saw none, everything looked normal as far as I could tell.  On the back, all pins look good, except for two that seemed to be touching on one of the PCI slots (this PCI slot does appear slightly bent forward on the front).  I took a knife and carefully made the pins not touch, like the rest of the slots, but this seems to have had no effect.
    So, I've got what should be a pretty sweet rig sitting on a cutting board right now unable to do anything.  I consider myself reasonably technical, but I'm out of ideas.  One thought I did have was I wondered if there was any way to upgrade BIOS with the board in such a state?  Maybe by USB?  Doesn't seem like I can though.  Also, this system was working fine TODAY, and apparently had been working fine for a while, so wth, why now?  Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm tearing my hair out.
    One additional note: the green tag on the motherboard w/ BIOS description says "E7673\IMS1A0"
    Many thanks!

    Since it was working fine before it got into the car and within 10 mins there's problems. I think it could be some of the power connections to the board or the PSU suddenly gone bonkers.
    The reason for pointing out these two hardware is due to the fact that they have not been changed out with another similar hardware for testing yet.

  • We purchased infinity blade and when we try to sync it on our itouch 3rd gen it says not compatible for this ipod

    We purchased an app called infinity blade and when trying to sync it to our 3rd gen ipod touch a message pops up on computer the it is not compatible to this ipod?

    Let me guess; you bought an iPod Touch that was labeled as an iPod Touch 3rd gen 8 gigabyte. first off that doesn't exist, apple resold the 2nd gen 8gb when the 3rd gen came out, as it would be a cheaper option for people. the 2nd gen is severely slower than the 3rd gen, and so infinity blade can not run on it, as many current games cannot as they are too powerful and barley work on a 3rd gen already, playing choppily and they lag a ton. Check to make sure the app requirments in the side of iTunes store says your device can work. Many stores labeled the re-release or the 2nd gen, which included the then current update which would have cost money for older devices, as a 3rd gen for some reason, even though Apple did not. If you do not believe me, check on apple for the list of iPod's that exist, labeled "Which iPod do I have?" also, you can check to see if you can update to iOS 5.0.1, the current iOS version, which can only be put on 3rd gen iPod touches and above, without a hack, as there is no more that can be put on older devices, as the new features require a faster CPU and more RAM, again, not enough in a 2nd or lower.

  • Infinity Blade. Open GL es 2.0

    I recently downloaded and paid for the Infinity Blade app for i my Ipod touch 3g 8GB and to my great disappointment the ipod could not run the app. Although i was not specifically told why, I'm assuming it's because of the Open GL es 2.0. Do you know if the Itouch 3g 8GB and the 2G models have the hardware capability to install Open GL? And if so are apple planning to release the software on these products?
    Basically is there any way of me running the Open GL on my Ipod without having to purchase a new one?

    No unfortunately opEnGL 2.0 is hardware dependent and 3g and 4g have a faster gpu supporting 2.0. However jb will allow you to run any application by "fooling" it and pretending you have a new ipod. I have infinity blade on my 2g 8gb touch and it runs really well but not as good as the 3g or 4g touch. There is some general lag but otherwise the game is very playable.
    Hope that helps.

  • My itouch wont let me download apps says no more space but i have no videos or photos

    - How much free/available storage space do you have? Go to Setting>General>About..
    - The IPod need between two and three time the file download size to download and anstall an app.
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. What is the discribution of storage usage as shown i the colored bargraph? If the "othjer" category is > i GB then try restoring the iPod to reduce the "other"

  • New Infinity Order - As it happens !!!

    I've just ordered Infinity (today) and I thought I'd track the order etc here for others to see 'live' what to expect:
    As a precursor, I've had BT ADSL for many years, and no end of problems with the Indian call centre, but great experience from the users and mods on this site - the mods are the reason I'm staying with BT instead of switching to TalkTalk...
    In Autumn last year my Infinity availability showed as available from end of Jan 2013 (and confirmed by email from Openreach), but in Winter this changed to an earliest date of End of March 2013 - not a problem, just have to wait. This weekend this changed to now available to order, so today I did just that.
    My current set-up is adsl2+ unlimited, with minimal phone + BTVision unlimited. I wanted Infinity 2, + minimal phone + BTVision with Youview box. I have 5 months to run on current contract.
    04/02/2013 - Called BT to upgrade. Approx 5 minutes on hold, but ok - everyone gets busy. Spoke to John who seemed very knowledgeable about his products and also very helpful. I was put on hold a couple of times for a couple of minutes, but eventually we agreed the following package, with prices as advertised:
    New contract:
    Phone - 12 months, prepaid so save £56.40.
    Broadband: Infinity 2 unlimited (including non-throttled P2P), estimate 59Mbps down / 20Mbps up.
    TV: TV Unlimited as we had before, but with new Youview box - free, but with £49 activation fee. (Not sure what he activation fee is for as I'm already on BTVision - advice happily received if this can be waived, but not a deal breaker if I have to pay it).
    Installation date agreed as pm (1pm to 6pm) on wed 20/02/2013.
    John could not confirm if my old BTV box and Youview box would work together, but confirmed that BT want to aim for multi-room so suspected that at some time this would stop working if it even started.
    John also confirmed that my new youview box should work fine with powerline adaptors in the same way as my current BTV box.
    First problem was that John can order everything except the Youview box - there is apparently a problem doing this for existing customers - John confirmed he'll call back within 1 or 2 days with the Youview order added on. I confirmed to him that this is necessary for me to complete my order - I won't accept the Infinity package with a 12 month contract then have to pay for a youview box.
    Cancellation terms stated as:
    I can cancel the broadband/TV service up to 17th Feb.
    7 days to cancel the prepaid phone line. After this I'm tied into the BT line for 12 months which implicitly means I can't change broadband suppliers because they normally require you take their phone line rental. This is the critical path, so if my free youview box doesn't appear on my order page before this then I need to cancel everything and then re-order the complete set.
    I'll let you know when/if John calls back and what the update is on the youview box and also the install date.
    Cheers,
    Alan.

    20/02/2013 - Sixth undate.
    Hopefully the last update. I was given the 1pm to 6pm slot and the Openreach engineer (Dave) called at approx 2pm, explained what he needed to do at the cabinet and that he'd be with me in 30 mins.
    Dave was the same engineer who fixed my line in October and also fitted the new faceplate ready for infinity at that time. He tested the line speed and then connected the new modem to my hub - and viola, 75.1/14.9 connection (wired test) against an estimated 59/19.
    I expect this to fluctuate as the line settles and also it may go down quite a bit but I'm extremely happy with this result.
    Anyone else in the PO15 postcode, cabinet 18 - I was no.2 Infinity connection so there's plenty of space left for now.
    So for everyone who is having problems - good things can happen using the advice on this forum. A few months ago I was so hacked off with BT I was going to leave. Now turned round to an extremely happy customer after a few months of good ADSL, flawless BTV (now Youview too) and an upgrade to Infinity with a new contract. All it took was a bit of patience to get my line fixed and get rid of all the noise.
    Cheers,
    Alan.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • We've been using the same Apple Id in the family.  Can I change the ID so each person has their own so we don't end up with each other's data?  How would I do that without losing what is on the Itouch now?

    My family has the same Apple ID, which is a problem when we don't have the same data on our products.  Can we have separate Apple IDs for each person?   If so, how can we change it and not lose what we currently have stored on our Ipod Touch/Ipod/Iphone?  I just restored my son'e Itouch and it has Cloud.  Will he delete my husband's contacts (from his Iphone)  if my son deletes contacts on the Ipod Touch?

  • ITouch Firmware Upgrade - Can no longer connect to car audio system

    I just upgraded to 3.1.1 last night on my iTouch and can no loger plug in and connect to the audio system on my Infiniti G35x. The iTouch shows that it is connected by the audio system shows that it isn't. I've checked the cables, etc and all is fine and can connect another iPod without any issues. Thoughts...?

    This is a known issue that started with the 3.0 release, and it affects several auto manufacturers. I was hoping that 3.1.1 would fix this for my Honda, but no dice. Something changed either in the communication protocol or timing, but whose fault it is seems to depend on how many Apple products you own
    You can step back down to the 2.x firmware ... search around for "DFU mode", I did it once and may do it again now that 3.1.1 doesn't solve this.

  • Can no longer connect to internet on my iTouch

    I have had my iTouch for just over a year and had no problems connecting to the internet at home and elsewhere. I had to purchase a new router recently and now my Touch no longer connects. It finds the network with no problem but when I enter my password it still says "unable to join the network..." It works everywhere else just fine and my laptop at home connects to my wi-fi with no problem as well. I have tried to input my network under "Other networks" with no success either. My settings and password are the same as before but it still won't connect. Has anyone else had this problem and any ideas on how to fix it? I went to the Apple store and they said they had no idea why it no longer connects. Thanks for any help you can send me.

    Are you running WEP encryption? Chances are the new router interprets your password in a form that the touch can't deal with. You can either using the hex code in place of the password you created or reset your encryption to WPA2-psk and create a new 10-12 character password.
    If you don't want to change encryption, you can reconfigure your WEP passwords - 5 characters only with 48bit or 13 characters only with 128 bit.

  • Error message when connecting iTouch (after Windows 7 update)

    Please help!
    I first had a Windows 7 (998 error) and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes a couple times until I got it up and running along with QuickTime working as well.
    When I go to try and sync my iTouch it is saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." I have actually done this twice and it is still not working.
    Please help!! I would really like to use my iPod again.
    Thank you,
    Aimee

    This solution allowed the itouch to communicate with itunes and then instantly recognised that it needed to be updated to software version 4.1. All's good so thanks for this
