New iPod keeps displaying the folder and "!"

Hi. Yesterday was my birthday, and I got a new iPod nano, 2GB. After some trouble, I finally got Windows and iTunes to recognize the iPod, and all that good stuff. Now, the problem is that when I try to actually do something with it, it keeps displaying a folder with an exclamation point by it, with the website "www.apple.com/support/ipod" and I can't do anything else with it. I don't understand what it's trying to say... Did I miss a step or is it just not done charging, or something else?
  Windows XP  

Okay... so, scatch that last question. I fixed that by installing the new updater.
But now I'm back to where I was last night.
The "Do Not Disconnect" screen won't go away, and the iPod isn't showing up as being connected with iTunes.

  • When your iPod keeps displaying the "Updating Library" screen

    I have a 8Gb iPod Touch and I synced a couple songs on it last night. But when I tried to listen to the songs, my iPod displayed "Updating Library" screen then it exits out of the music completely. This happens after I charged it and updated my iTunes. It's been an hour and its still saying "Updating iTunes Library". Help! What can I do to fix this problem?

    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.

  • HT204053 I recently changed my password for my apple I'd and when I try to download a free app from the App Store, it keeps displaying the email and password don't match your records.

    I Recently changed my appleID but when downloading an app, it displays an error.

    You need to add a valid payment method such as redeeming an iTunes gift card even for free apps unless you initially set up the account without a credit card.

  • Does anybody know if the new ipod nano displays the full song title if its really long?

    i'm looking to buy one. I have an old zune hd and it doesn't allow you to view full song titles. It's a huge problem if you have a lot of classical music (which i do), because you see stuff like "Symphony No. 4 in" and then nothing else, no way to get more

    The title should scroll, but I"m not positive if it does that on all models.

    Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    That message is usually due to a bad cable.

    Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adding a Patch to a Pocket and keeping the Folds and Wrinkles - CS3

    I have a photo of a gentleman wearing a typicl denim shirt and I would like to add a patch, or an emblem, to the shirt pocket.  I would like the patch to follow the contours of the shirt, including the folds and wrinkles.  How can that be done in CS3?  Thanks
    Using CS3, Windows Xp

    Thanks for the reply.  I wasn't looking for an automated way to get the job done.  I tried using the transform tools last week, and the results were OK for the specific image I was working on, but something else (displacement filter?) might be better still.  Have to play around with that.
    Kind Regards,

    I don't think of an easy automated way to do it.  I'd probably paste it on there, maybe distort / transform it a bit as needed (e.g., if the wrinkles are deep), then use the Burn and Dodge tools to add subtle shading to make it look believable.

  • The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos

    The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

    I am a new iPod shuffle 4th Generation user and I cannot sync the music in my Windows Media play to my new iPod, can someone help?

    Hi Daisymae3,
    The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
    User Manual iPod shuffle
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
    Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
    iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
    on iPod shuffle.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
