Old iPod Will not leave disk recovery mode; wont register on comp

Hey,
I have my old, black-n-white, 15gb scrollwheel iPod. A few days ago, the folder icon popped up. I followed Apples troubleshooting and reset the iPod to disk recovery mode. Now the only thing is that it is stuck in "Disk Mode -- OK to disconnect." and nothing i can click press will exit that screen, not even trying to reset again. Note, the hold button icon still properly shows up on the screen when it is switched.
To make matters worse, when I try connecting my iPod to my computer, it will not get recognized by the comp, and makes my iTunes freeze and I am forced to close it.
So, what is up? did my iPod die? i just dont want to buy a new one. =(

Hold down the PLAY and MENU buttons to get it out of disk mode. Wait until you see the Apple logo on the screen. It may take as long as 10 to 20 seconds before it happens.

HT1567 Itouch will not turn on, will not got into recovery mode, wont do anything, is it dead?

My Ipod Touch will not do anything, could it be dead?

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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1212 my ipod is disabled and will not go into recovery mode. it will not respond to being turned off

I've tried to send the ipod into recovery mode and it will not restore. it shows that it cannot connect ot itunes because its passcode protected. its disabled due to my son forgetting his password.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod Touch is disabled, won't connect to iTunes and will not go into recovery mode.

Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
Any suggestions?

Try DFU mode.

IPhone 5 Will Not Restore in Recovery Mode

Hi everyone,
I am currently having a pretty serious problem with my iPhone 5 16GB (iOS7.0.2). Today, I discovered that my phone was "searching" for cell service despite being in an area with good coverage. This issue continued for 5 hours. I tried to turn it on/off, a hard reset, turning "airplane mode" on/off, and even tried to restore it! When I attempted to restore it however, iTunes told me that "Find my iPhone" had to be turned off. Then, I kept getting an error that there was a problem deregistering it from my iCloud account. Finally, I decided (after creating a full backup) to put the phone into recover mode and try to restore it that way. Not only, did I get an "error (1)", I attempted that FIVE times and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. Hopefully, I can get it fixed or else I'll have to replace the thing.
PLEASE HELP ME.
P.S. I might add that oddly, the phone still receives calls; my wife tried calling the phone, and it not only rings, it even goes to voicemail...

Hey there Lorenzo Carunun,
It sounds like you are unable to restore your device with iTunes at all. You did some great troubleshooting to start with. I would recommend the steps in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting update and restore issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Verify that your computer operating system is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after restarting.
On a Mac: In the Apple () menu, choose Software Update. Install all available updates.
On a Windows PC: Go to the Microsoft Windows Update page.
Check your security software: Note: Most restore issues are caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software, firewalls, and network router settings or firmware.
Isolate the issue to third-party software.
Update security software.
Properly configure your security software.
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software.
Temporarily remove any unnecessary USB devices, leaving only your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the USB cable that came with your device, and a keyboard and mouse, if necessary.
Restart your computer and try again.
Note: To perform some of these steps, you need to be logged in to the computer as an administrator. If you are not sure if you have administrator access, contact the owner of the computer or the system administrator.
You may have done a step or 2 already, so feel free to skip those steps you have done.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IMac will not boot in recovery mode

I have tried to boot into recovery mode (CMD-R) in Mavericks. I tried with my hard drive and a Mac Install disk. Disk utility has grayed out the erase option except for unused space. Can't partition either. I am attempting to donate to my church. They will use their Apple ID to load their current OSX. Help

If you still have the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the App Store or can download it again, you can recreate your Mavericks Recovery HD using the Recovery Partition Creator 3.7 utility and the Install OS X Mavericks.app.

Old iPod will not charge up

I am trying to charge up an old iPod but it doesn't appear to be charging up. I am not using the original charger lead, should this matter?
We don't have the original charger
Model is MB147 80GB
Thanks for your help!

Then what sort of charger are you using and is the lead of the correct type?
A USB charger should work, providing it provides enough current (mA). My charger states 1,000mA, but I thought the iPod only required 500mA to be charged.
One point though. A drained iPod Classic needs to be left on charge for at least thirty minutes before it will show any signs of life.

HT201263 My ipad will not show the recovery mode, it goes into DFU mode just fine, but whenever I put it in recovery mode I get nothing but a blank white screen. After doing a restore or update itunes gives me error 37. This all happened due to a failed u

I updated from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1. Midway through the update itunes crashed. I got it all working again and ever since I have been stuck in a recovery loop. DFU mode works fine, but when I go into recovery mode (yes I am doing it right, yes I have tried pwning, tinyumbrella, etc.) it still just gives me a white screen (I am not getting the plug arrow and itunes icon screen that shows up when you are in recovery mode). I am a huge fan of hacking, mods, and jbs, BUT have never done any on the iPad, (found it pointless).. nevertheless, I am stuck thanks to apple in a white screen and a nonworking iPad. If anyone has any ideas that does not include jbs, updating, restoring, restoring with internet off, restoring in DFU, I would gladly appreciate it. I would take it to the apple store but it was a friends and I didn't purchase it. My friend had the issue formerly and they had no idea what to do at apple (they usually try DFU, restore, and then have nothing else to tell you.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

HT1212 What if your computer will not go in recovery mode?

I cant remember my passcode to access my iphone 4. I followed the directions but my computer says i dont have recovery mode downloaded.
What can I do?

Hey mary loo123,
Thanks for the question. It looks like you are on the right track, as you came from the most relevant resource. Do you have iCloud setup on your device? If so, you can follow these steps to erase it remotely:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
via iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Thanks,
Matt M.

Ipod touch not working at all and wont register to charge...help!!

My son has a 4th gen. ipod touch. He had it on sleep mode for an hour and now it isnt working at all. It wont turn on and it wont register when we try to charge it. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it??

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!!
Hi there have a simple answer that works(i did it on my friends iPod touch 4 gen)
Plug the iPod into your sons iPod doc or wall adapter ...NOT PC OR MAC... And hold the sleep and menu button for THIRTY seconds.... This will wipe the iPod clear and will also leave it blank then do not use it at all in anyway shape or form. Wait for ios5 to come out( October the 12th 2011) and then Plug it into your PC or Mac that you originally had it synced with and it will work

Help!!! I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it. Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago). Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway. Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired after 3 attempts.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Is my hdd shut, and do i need to buy a new one? Please help, thank you.

Looks as if it's time for a new internal drive - for the money you'd spend on some 'beefier' sort of disk utility like DiskWarrior (and there's no guarantee that DW would even work for your) you can buy a new external drive and install it yourself.
I would buy an enclosure for the old drive just in case you want to use something like Data Rescue 3 (which I am just now evaluating, so I can't give it a thumbs up or down just yet) to rescue some some data from your dying internal drive. (Data Rescue 3 is usually $100 - the MacUpdate December 2012 bundle has it and a slew of other apps for $50).
Unless you had a backup or if DR3 can be of any help, most of your data is probably gone.
I'd go shopping for a new drive at either Crucial or OWC. I prefer Seagate over most other brands - I tend to stay away from Western Digital as I've had bad experiences with them.
Did your MBP ship with Lion? Or did it come with an installation disc? We'll need to know before telling you how to procede with formatting the new drive and installing an OS on it.
Good luck,
Clinton
