New 80gb ipod resets over and over

My 2 day old 80gb ipod will only run with itunes 7 or higher.
I loaded my library & plugged the thing in to synch.
Half an hour later, when it finishes, the pod just goes into a reset loop (logo appears, goes off....)
I tried all the Rs as advised by this site, but none worked at all.
I tried retro updating to itunes 6 & an earlier updater, again, nothing.
It isn't the pod, as the same happened with my 2gb nano.
The only way to avoid it is to stop the updating (click on the little x) before ejecting it.
But then you need to wait until it is updating the last few songs (hopefully not ones you want to listen to)to do it.
What can I do to use my device correctly?

Have you looked at the troubleshooting document? "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod
Considering your iPod is very new, if the problem continues I'd advise you contact Apple or your retailer about a replacement.

  • Brand New 80GB Ipod connects on and off with my usb cable

    hi, i just got a new 80gb ipod for xmas, and when i plug the usb cable to my ipod, it connects sometimes, and sometimes doesnt, and when it does, it disconnects sometimes too, i usually have to keep moving into different usb ports and one will work, then not work again, then work again later. i even tried my friends cable and its the same thing, i think somethings wrong with the port in the ipod, can anyone help ?

    Turn it off.  If it got wet somehow, you may try drying your ipod off.  The slow method would be a sunny window sill.  You could use a hair dryer on LOW, pointing it at the contacts.  When it drys out, charge itand try a hard-reset. If it still doesn't function properly....  ?

    In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    I had the same problem. Here is the Easy solution;
    1) Hold down the middle button and the "menu" button until the screen goes black.
    2) As soon as the screen goes black, keep holding the middle button, let go of the menu button and hold the "play" button.
    Your ipod will reset. Just plug it up to the computer and restore!

  • My ipod 5 keeps restarting over and over

    I haven't even had my iPod 5 for a year and it's starting to restart by itself over and over again.

    If you can't do the above
    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.

  • I made 2 playlists on Itunes and put them on my Ipod.  How do I get the songs to play consecutively and not keep playing the same song over and over again???

    I'm a new Zumba instructor and have to come up with playlists for my routines.  I made 2 playlists on ITunes and put them on my Ipod.  Everytime I want to play it, only one song from the list plays over and over.  The other songs do not.  How do I get the songs to play the way I have them set up??

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

  • My 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down.

    my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

    It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive.  You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

    Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

  • IPod Nano - Shuffle plays same songs over and over

    I have several playlists on my iPod Nano with varying numbers of songs.  But it seems that every time I use my iPod, no matter which playlist I'm using, I get some songs over and over.  I'll hear the same couple songs multiple times in a day/week.   I turn it off when we aren't using it.  So it seems like it's resetting the shuffle every time I turn it on.  Is there some setting I need to change to make it shuffle the songs more?  I don't remember having this problem with my iPod Shuffle.   I'm considering making multiple playlists (like a several workout ones with different songs in each so I get more variety) but wondering if there's a simpler fix
    Thanks

    That is probably the Repeat setting.  It can be set to repeat ONE (repeats current song), ALL (repeats current list), or OFF (does not repeat).
    Which iPod nano model do you have?  Does it have a touch screen interface, or the (older) click wheel interface?

  • Why do the apps on my 4th Generation iPod Touch continuously crash over and over?

    I first turned on my 8GB white iPod touch, 4th generation, on 12/25/2011. For the most part, my ipod has worked flawlessly. I have never had a problem with it. But, in the past couple of days since christmas, the apps have started to crash over and over. For example, my games like Jetpack Joyride, Doodle Jump, Bike Race TFG, and Plague Inc. have not opened. I try to open them, it shows the opening wallpaper, then crashes. I tried turning off location services, closing all open apps, deleting some apps, clearing up space, nothing has worked. what could be going wrong and how can i fix this?
    Thanks!
    p.s. I am updated to iOS 6.0.1

  • Recently my movies and videos take forever to load and when they start playing it's for a second or two at a time. Have to hit the play icon over and over, did not use to be this way they work great on my desktop and iPod

    Recently I have been experiencing my downloaded videos and online vids taking a long time to load and when they do, they will only play for a few seconds at best and you have to hit the play icon over and over. Never had this problem before with the 20 plus vids I have any suggestions would be appreciated

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over

    When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over and over. It never lets me actually get into the iCal aplication? is there a way I can clear and reset mt iCal calender?

    Greetings William,
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why does Apple keep asking me to reset my security questions over and over again? How do they expect us to remember if we have to keep redoing it over and over again on the same day?

    I had just redone all my security questions and committed them all to memory. Then the very next time I tried to log in-in oder to 'verify' they made me make up brand new ones. How does this 'verify' if they are new ones? How do they expect you to remember the security questions if they make you reset them over and over again on the the same day?
