are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • I have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g

    i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

  • Ipod connect only when reboot

    Hi there,
    I have this kind of problem: I installed the last itunes and I have a Video 60gb. When I start the pc and I connect my Ipod there is no problem, I sync without problem. I disconnect my ipod and when I connect again the ipod itunes won't see the ipod. I have to reboot and the connection work. Also when I try to enable the disk option, itunes answers that there were an error syinching. I reinstalled the firmware but nothing changed.

    I have changed my own battery on both the video and nano. There are places where you can buy a new battery and replace it. On the video there is a small ribbon cable that attaches the battery. It has a small clip that holds the ribbon cable in and there is a chance that it was not installed properly and that it might have slipped out. Here go under this site and look at their tutorials on battery replacement and follow that. If it is a battery conn you are golden, if not I would try replacing the battery. The bennie of doing that is you get a higher cap battery. But be aware that the minute you open the case your warranty is voided. Here is the site. Hope this solves it for you. But be aware that it could be a problem with the charging circuit and that would mimic a bad battery. But worth a try.

  • USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

    During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
    When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
    I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
    I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
    It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
    This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
    Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

  • IPod connects and charges, but now doesn't show up on desktop or in iTunes

    I've seen numerous threads/topics about iPods not connecting/showing up...and most say to reset, but if i can't even get it to show up in iTunes in order to reset how do I go about this?? Also, if I reset, am I losing all my music/worked saved on it??
    I plug it in and it flashes like normal when its connected on the iPod screen, but it doesnt show up on the desktop or pop up in iTunes.
    thanks in advance!

    A reset is just rebooting the iPod. You will not lose anything and can be done without a computer...
    Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
    If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few/several tries.
    See this thread as an example of what I mean by needing to try it many times...

  • ITunes freezes when iPod connected

    I have Windows XP and iTunes version 11.0.1. Since I've updated iTunes I haven't tried to sync my iPod touch 4th generation. When I connected my iPod my iTunes freezes and I can't click on anything. Once I disconnect the iPod then iTunes works fine. What should I do? Thanks.

    I've had similiar problems when it comes to freezing. What I did was simply wait. I loaded my iPod and the mouse pointer showed the hourglass for a few minutes, then the iPod simply showed up on iTunes. Try rebooting your system, connecting iPod, and giving it a few minutes.

  • I need help unlocking and rebooting my iPod touch.

    i forgot my iPod touch pass code, and i cannot reboot it with the iTunes account because its connected to my step mothers account, who i do not speak with anymore. how can i reboot my iPod without the iTunes account

    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and 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.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Yo can also do it with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Turn off Mac sleep when iPod connected

    Is there a way to make a PowerMac running MacOS X 10.4.2 NOT go to sleep when an iPod is connected? I can only charge my iPod by connecting it to the USB bus of the computer. The first time I was charging it, my Mac put the display to sleep and I couldn't get it to wake up. I eventually had to shut down my Mac and then reboot it.
    I'd like to be able to set my Mac to sleep normally when nothing is connected but to stay awake with the iPod connected. Is this possible?

    Thanks for the help.
    However, I posted this question in another forum and was pointed to an Applescript which utilized the 'pmset' command to change the sleep settings. With that knowledge I was able to write a Unix csh script which checks to see if the iPod is mounted and, if so, calls the pmset command to disable sleep. If the iPod is not mounted, the pmset command is called to enable sleep. In case anyone is interested, here is the script:
    #!/bin/csh
    if (`\ls /Volumes | /usr/bin/grep iPod | wc -l` != 0) then
    /usr/bin/pmset -a displaysleep 0 disksleep 0 sleep 0
    else
    /usr/bin/pmset -a displaysleep 15 disksleep 30 sleep 30
    endif
    I then used the Unix 'cron' facility to have the script run once every minute. So, once a minute the system checks to see if the iPod is connected and, if so, disables sleep.
    Thanks anyway for the suggestions.

  • Our IPod connects to the WIFi, but not to the internet.

    Our IPod connects to the WIFI, but not to the internet.  We have a wireless router which we connect our MACBOOK to the internet and our IPod.  The MACBOOK works fine, but not the IPod.  It shows to be connected to WIFI, but whenever we try to connect to an internet site i.e. Sarfari, we get an message "Safari cannot open the page becuase it is not connected to the internet".  We have tried rebooting, but it has not helped.

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Power off and then back on the router

  • Satellite A105: External USB HDD and IPod connection issues

    Hello,
    I got laptop toshiba satellite A105, last weekend I reinstalled windows on my laptop using recovery disks and now I got two problems.
    First problem when I connect my external hard drive, my computer don't show any icon of this hard drive but when I check in disk management external hard drive is connected to my computer.
    Second problem is my IPod, similar problem to the hard drive don't shows when is connected to my laptop but when I checked in device manager under usb controller is showing but with yellow circle and question mark.
    Could you help me to solve my problem?
    Kings regards

    Hi
    Did you try to refresh the USB port drivers??
    You should try this;
    - Disconnect all USB devices from the USB ports.
    - Access the device manager and remove all USB Root Hub and all USB Host controllers.
    - Reboot the notebook
    After this procedure the Windows OS should recognize and should install the USB ports again. After new reboot you should connect the single USB devices and should check if they will run correctly!

  • How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

    Hi,
    Our setup
    A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
    Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
    Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
    The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
    We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
    I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
    Jimmy
    PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.
