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 another cable
- 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.

Please Help, Ipod Not Working Correctly

Hi, I recentely downloaded an episode of monk, and when I went to put it on my iPod it doesn't work. I click it in the iPod, and then the screen goes blank and doesnt ever play, then it returns to the main screen after 30 seconds. How can I fix this?

i had the same problem
the only difference is that the video tries to load, but it jus doesnt - u hear the hard constantly spinning, and after like 5 seconds the ipod freezes.
=/
o well only 1 video does that

IPOD not working at all - help!

I have a 60gb IPOD photo. Recently, about a week ago, it stopped working - was frozen on a playlist but would not play or go back to the menu. I have tried the 5 r's and now the ipod is stuck on 'do not disconnect'. It is currently plugged into my usb port but neither itunes nor my PC are recognising the ipod. How can I unplug my ipod without damaging it and how can I make it work????!!! Please help, I'm desperate.

Have you tried to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod?

Please help ipod not formatting

please help
going on long trip, want to use ipod for first time
when insert ipod cd, asks to connnect ipod, recognizes ipod
attached using USB2.0, says needs format, click on format, just sits there with blue bar scrolling left to right while saying waiting for ipod, and does not let you click on back button format button, or cancel button
so close window and window behing which couldn't see before says enter serial #, do that goes through rest of installation, then if plug in ipod, windows recognizes it but itunes doesn't, also when using ipod updater says plug in ipod so i do but never allows me to click update or restore
problems probably all related to formatting issue
have tried several solutions suggested on web but none work
so disappointed
appreciate any help

The best way is to restore the iPod Updater (latest version please)instead of formatting, unless your iPod could not get recongized by your PC. I will try to put it in Disk Mode (press "Select"+"Play" keys) and connect with your PC, open your iTunes and hope that you can see your iPod's icon in it, then open the iPod updater and do a restore.
If you still cant solve your probelm, someone in this forum suggested to do a chkdsk.
I got disappointed with the XP, I finally managed to format my iPod using 3rd party software i.e. "Partition Magic" and got it fixed up

HELP! Without any prompting for such a download, Firefox tells me 'Thank You for choosing Firefox 4', & I have lost ALL of my bookmarks! I absolutely need to restore them, please please help. Not impressed at all!

I am shellshocked.... so far I am not happy with Firefox's latest effort. When I first got this version, my 'saved tabs' function did not work, which I use regularly, and I lost vital site information with the update. I figured out how to fix this by changing a setting, and figured my problems were over.
But NOW without any prompting from me, Firefox re-opened, having lost the tabs I had, yet again, and instead opened up two new tabs, 'Welcome to FireFox' (ty for choosing firefox4), and 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', AND I have lost all my bookmarks!, WTF! Please help me to restore them, I have tried the help info provided, but they are still not restored :( Some of those treasured bookmarks, an extensive list, I will never get again, unless I can restore the ones I had. :( NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Please Help Ipod video wont Copy all songs

My Ipod will not copy all of my songs on I tunes it will only copy 350mg out of 23gb of media. It is not my computer I have tried this on other computers with different songs and media with the same outcome. I already had it serviced and they did not help, they send me the same ipod back with the same problem. They told me all I had to do is the 5 rs or something. I have tried everything on the site. Please help. Does anybody know a number i can call to talk to an actual person for ipod support?

Ipod not working, tried all suggestions i could find none worked

I have a 20 gb ipod that my mom got from sam's club, there is an hp thing on the back so guess that means it's and hp ipod and not a straight apple ipod which my brother says is bad, it came with a griffen itrip and a griffen powerpod car charger, that's all the background about it that i know.
so i was listening to it today and went to change the song and it didn't play so i figured i must have paused it accidentally, so i hit the play button again, and it changed songs..so then i decided to turn it of and turn it back on again, and it didn't turn back on, it started making wierd clicking noises, so i plugged it into a charger to see if that would fix it and that didn't work either, then i plugged it into my computer and it didn't show up on my computer or in itunes, so i went to this website and started looking around, i did the whole hold down select and menu for 6 second thing and the apple sign showed up, but nothing else happened so i tried to restore it, but the updater wo't regonize it, so then i downloaded the new updater, and it says that it won't mount, so then i did all the stuff i could understand on the "what to do it your ipod won't mount" page i tried forcing it into disk mode like it said to but i wouldn't go, then it just kinda went into disk mode by itself, but the updater still didn't recognize it, so then i tried downloading the new itunes and all that stuff and tried removing the itunes software from my computer, and i guess i did b/c i can't find it now... and now my ipod stopped making the noise, but it's random displaying either the apple symbol, the DO NOT DISCONNECT symbol and that folder with the exclamation point, i tried all the stuff under " folder with an exclamation point" page as well nothing has worked...
what do i do?

Hi ...
The problem is the iPod, not your Mac.
Place the iPod in recovery mode > If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If that won't work, contact Apple > iPod touch - Apple Support

Ipod not working at all...all of a sudden

I had my 80 gb Ipod video, 5th generation for about 2 weeks. It has been working fine up until yesterday, when all of a sudden I was in the middle of a song and I pressed menu to go back, but it wouldnt go. So I simply restarted it, and it was working fine. Then today, the same thing happened, except this time it wouldnt restart. So I pressed menu again, and about 30 seconds later it responded to my command. Then I would press several buttons, and it would take about 30 seconds before it woudl do what I would press. So I finally decided to let it sit for a while and maybe "process" or whatever it needed to do. So i decided to go to shuffle songs, and it (after a little while) went to the now playing section and showed the first song and the play button up top, but there was no audio, and the second counter wasnt going, however it was shuffling through the songs every once in a while... So I decided to turn it off, and it wouldnt turn off, and after holding the off button and releasing, the battery monitor would drop significantly. So after several attempts to shut it off and try different things, I decided to leave it alone for a little while until I got home. I got home and it was off, and I turned it on and the little sad face thing came on telling me to come here. So Im hoping someone can help me. I plugged it into my computer, and ITunes does not recognize it, neither does my windows explorer system. I tried the 5 "r's" and they arent helping. I took it back to circuit city, and he said I would have to contact customer support or whatever, but its to late for that since they are closed. I am hoping one of you can help. Feel free to ask any questions, I am trying to be as descriptive as possibnle, but I am new to the ipod, so I dont know alot. Thanks for your help
Jeff

I tried what the page said previously and even again, and it hasnt changed anything....that page shows the ipod in the menu...mine is not even in the menu, it just keeps rebooting and going into the sad face. Its doing that even when I am not pressing anything, and it also does that when I try to force it into disk mode. Thanks for your tiem...

Please help ipod not restoring

Hi everyone, ive been having some problems with my ipod lately. The 'sync to itunes' screen is showing on my ipod and i forced it into recovery mode in order to restore it. This worked and then my ipod was synced perfectly.
After this i used itunes to update some of my apps and then tried to re-sync my ipod. The apps were synced but all of my music/videos/photos etc were wiped off my ipod. So i tried to sync it once again and it went back to the 'sync to ipod' screen.
Again my only option was to restore it, but now when i try this procedure i just get an 'error 14' message and it doesnt restore.
Any ideas?

OK - after hours and hours of fidling I have found a [partial] solution.
After posting above I tried restoring my iPod with the Firewall turned off. This changed the Error from (6) to (14) but otherwise the same symptoms.
I used a different computer (Windows XP Laptop) and iTunes to recover my iPod. This was a clean install of iTunes on the laptop. I took the OS 3.0 firmware out of the App Settings folder on my Vista PC and saved onto the laptop. On the laptop I shift-clicked the restore button when iTunes recognised the iPod in recovery mode and chose the OS 3.0 firmware.
Once recovered I completely uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Quicktime and Apple Mobile Device Service and used CCleaner to remove rougue registry entries. I also manually moved all the Apple/Apple Computer and iTunes/iPod folders in my Documents & Settings and Local Settings etc.
I then (with great trepidation) plugged my iPod into my Vista PC. I deleted the other iTunes library and its currently syncing with my music library. Fingers crossed the Sync completes.
I hope this helps someone else and I hope that Apple actually takes the crash reports and does something with them - I think its pretty poor that you can't log a support case and that the telephone helpline told me I needed to replace the iPod when there is clearly not a hardware problem.
Come on Apple - sort out your Windows/Vista support!

Please help, photomerge not working? (one tiny horizontal canvas?)

I'm using it to do panography... so I'm literally using hundreds of pictures.
My process is: batch resize, so they go from being about 5mb to 2.5 (still quite large I know but I want to print it really large and when I resized them to 500kb they were waay too obviously pixelated.)
After this I save them all in a folder and use the photomerge collage thing and select all the pictures, i dkno what canvas size to have but i just assumed it would sort itself out. I've done this before, but with much smaller pictures (500kb ish)
Is the size of the images the problem, should I just have a larger canvas/background?? It takes so long for photoshop to sort them all out that I really can't be bothered to go through the entire process again to get the same result.
Which is basically all of the pictures on the layers (as normal), but the grey/white blocks (background, you know what I mean?) is really really long horizontally and there's about 1 image visible? Difficult to describe, just realised I can upload a screenshot. Considering that.
Thank you for your help! Apologies for my ignorance

A screenshot would be nice. And yes, the canvas will take care of itself. File sizes mean nothing in this context, a 5 MB jpeg and a 5 MB psd are two completely different animals. What are the pixel dimensions? And how many frames?
In general, a photomerge failing to complete is usually because of poor or missing overlap. Water, drifting clouds, trees swaying in the breeze, you get the idea.

Please help. Not working

I installed an update and now i'm trying to restore my iphone but it gets to the part where it says preparing iphone for restore but then an unknown error comes up. I've uninstalled itunes and reintalled but nothing is helping. Any ideas on trying to fix this would be much appreciated. Mel

I would love to help but need the error code number. Can you please post that as well?
