Please help!! iPod freezing computer after restoring

I'm really hoping someone can help me. My 4G 40G iPod starting acting up last week. It was not showing up in iTunes, though it did show up in My Computer. After trying the normal fixes (resetting, changing to disk mode, etc.), I decided it was time once again to restore the thing (which I've done on 2 occassions since purchasing in Dec. 2004). Everytime I tried to run anything on the computer while the iPod was connected, the computer froze. I couldn't delete the drive from My Computer, I couldn't get the Updater to initialize to allow a restore, nada. I found instructions to run diagnostics manually, and everything passed. I finally gave up. It was still playing music and I just started charging the battery externally.
My husband connected it to the computer tonight and it suddenly showed up in iTunes. I took the opportunity to retore it, which worked. Everything seemed fine until I went to connect it to the computer again (after installing the firmware, or whatever) and it's doing the same old thing - only this time I don't have any music on it. Please help! I can't afford to buy another @#%#* iPod or to let my husband start taking mine to work everyday. Has anyone had this problem or can you solve it?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

Hi
I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

IPod classic freezing computer after restore

My iPod had to be reformatted from mac to windows. I went to the iPod front page and clicked restore and it went through the restore process fine. When it was finished my iTunes locked up so i reset my computer. When I turned it back on it started fine then froze iTunes again when I plug the thing in. I went to my computer and it wasn't able to actually get into the iPod, it was showing up as drive "I" already and I have no other peripherals attached. I reset my computer again, updated iTunes and plugged in my other iPod. This one worked fine, transfered songs correctly and what not. Tried the other one and it's still freezing. What the **** happened? It's an iPod classeic 30g serial: 8K6322JEWEJ

When i start plug it in after disabling iTunes from starting when I plug it in I'm able to browse it through my computer. I formatted it and then it showed up in iTunes again. When i restored it again it is back to doing the same thing, even on another computer with a completely fresh install of iTunes.

PLEASE help - iPod freezing, cannot restart

Okay. So my iPod froze, and then ran out of batteries. My iPod also did not (and does not) show up in my iTunes account where it normally would. When it ran out of batteries, I plugged it into my computer and held down the Select and Menu buttons. An apple came up on the screen. I didn't realize the apple was SUPPOSED to be there, so I held down the Menu and Select buttons again. It made a weird musical sound (coming directly from the iPod, the headphones were not plugged in) and now the screen is blank and white. I tried "updating" the iPod in order to completely reset it, but it says that there is a software malfunction.
I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to make my iPod go back to normal.
(second time I've posted this, I know, but no one replied)

PLEASE HELP! Weird Issue after Restore

I had to do a restore on my iPhone. I'm in India right now and everything seems to be working fine, but I keep getting an error message at startup that says
"Waiting for AT&T activation
This may take some time."
It gives the option to dismiss, but why is this message even showing up? My phone number shows up properly in iTunes and the phone recognizes that I'm activated properly. I don't get it.
Is this going to show up every time I start the iPhone?

Did you do the restore here in US or in India? That SIM card is looking for at&t service and since it is not available there it gets stuck in that endless loop. Try to put it in airplane mode and see what it tells you. All I can say is just cancel it and sync as you would normally do. Watch out for a huge bill IF you are making calls. Hope you realize that and don't be surprised when the bill arrives.Read up on some of the stories other users here have posted on that issue.

My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

I can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

i can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again. If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

Please help! - My computer crashed and I need help reinstalling my CS3 software

Please help! My computer crashed and now I am trying to reistall my CS3 software. I'm receiving Unable to Install errors for all of the programs in the Suite except the Acrobat 8 Professional. Can someone please help me? I cannot afford to upgrade, but need this software to do freelance work. I own the software and serial number but Adobe will not support me as it is an older version.

I downloaded and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. It showed no files to remove, but still said it was successful. I then tried reinstalling the entire suite. Acrobat 8 Professional was the only program that installed. All other programs gave me a componant failed error. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated?!
Thanks

Please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"

Hi All,
please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
as I am getting ; like below example
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'A') || ';' As Result
from dual;
CREATE TABLE "MFEED"."A"
( "A" NUMBER
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
regards,

Hi,
well, I don´t know if this works for any table, but I tried two of mine and it was ok:
select substr(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>'), 1,
length(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>') || ';')-4)|| ';' As Result
from dual;
If the string gets too long, you must use dbms_lob - functions for string manipulation, but for "normally sized" tables, it should work.

Gerd

If you restored from a backup, the backup may be corrupted.

ISight and iPod freeze computer

On the last two macs I've owned, when I've tried to connect both my iSight and my iPod via firewire, it always ends up completely freezing either my computer, my iPod, or both. Since then I've been sticking to just switching them out depending on which I'm using, but I'm getting tired of that. I'd like to have them both connected all the time. So, does anybody know a way to fix the problem (or maybe an OSX update fixed the problem already?)? Thanks.

A "not uncommon" problem. iSight draws significant power and can be picky about what and how it shares your Mac's Firewire port(s).
See the Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ for my best suggestions.

Please help !!! After installing 3.1.1 restore failing with error code 2002

Hi All,
I bought my ipod touch 8GB and received on 24th Sep 2009. On the same day at around 18:30, I downloaded itunes in my laptop (IBM ThinkPad - Win XP OS).
Everything was fine, I did sync my ipod with itunes. After an hour or so, I got a popup in my itunes to download a latest software update which was OS 3.1.1, I guess. I downloaded that and it took almost 80 minutes. Then I connected my ipod to the laptop, itunes throwed an alert saying
"itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
But restore is failing with restore error code 2002. I tried 44 times with all the guidelines mentioned in Apple support site. Restarted ipod, laptop, complete uninstall of itunes and every software, reinstalled itunes and everything, switch between different USB ports and tried everything but nothing worked.The ipod always shows the connect to itunes symbol and nothing else. Alas!! I am writing this. It is seriously very discouraging for the apple product users. I had high hopes with apple’s products. I could not use my new ipod even for an hour.
Please help. The below log is being created after every failure.
I know the below log can help the software guys in finding the issue

AHHH! major problems. Please help. (iPod wont restore)

Having tried every FAQ recommendations i could find, nothing is working. I have a 4th gen 20GB click wheel, no color, and when i plug in the USB it does one of several things, 1. the ipod freezes and seems to be stuck in the loading mode. 2. is not recognized by windows, 3. an autoplay loading thing pops up, (note that the du-DU noise is made when i plug it in, if this happens), and 4. if im really lucky, i mean its only happened about 2/60 times, it will be recognized and appear in itunes, asking me to restore it do to corruption, and then i get an error message about a file not being downloadable or something, ive done everything the FAQ asks including reinstalling it multiple times, deleting all old versions, everything, but it wont recognize the iPod. I used to have problems with it being corrupt but it would just restore like normal and would work everytime i plugged it in. Also, sometimes i try using both the 1337 Firewire and USB 2.0 because i have the double cable. Nothing seems to work, but I desperatly need my iPod. Music is pretty much my life.

Ok, now i tried http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309 but its not doing me any good either, when i got to the iTunes folder (i had "Show hidden files" on) it only showed me two things, 1. a folder titled SC Info containing 2 files, SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd. 2. a file "iPodDevices" and XML file that opens up a page with this on it...
