Please help me :( , ipod 5th gen 30 gb unrecognized , i swear big prize for one who have a solution for it
hello all
my name is Saray, I'm a 4th year Computer Engineering student, I'm from Spain and I often go to U.S.A I even had my eng course there last summer ...
Anyhow my problem is with my 5th generation 30gb ipod which I have exchanged it with a harmonica lol from my friend Anna . this ipod used to work from a month from now,
this girl has a Philips stereo which usually causes such problems to the ipods you connect them in it, and this ipod was connected in it and had the problem.I have looked all over the internet for any solution but didn't help , please would you help me ??
anyway the ipod's problem is as follows :
the cable I use is the one which came with my other 5th generation 8GB nano ipod , and everything works great with it , but when I connect my new ipod to my pc it says USB Device Not recognized and it doesn't even charge , only at the begening the ipod shows me the logo of charging for seconds and then it goes away
and I even tried connecting it to different Computers with different Operation Systems it showed me the same...
I even tried the disk mode and it didn't help nothing showed up
I noticed that when I connect it to a transformer ( My camera samsung wall charger with usb output of which 5 volts 550 mA " which wouldn't be much different
than the computer usb output values) so when I connect the new ipod with this wall charger it didn't charge at first but when I restarted the ipod it was charged from the charge .
then after alot of hard work ! I figured out something that when I put it to disk mode and then restart it while its hooked in the computer it charges from the pc
but still not recognized.
I use windows so it shows Unkown Device in the device manager.
I didn't try recovery mode because I didn't know how to do that.
please help me please !!! the one who helps will have a very hug prize I swear !
Thank you very much
Similar think happened to me. I had the Ipod (60gig) for about 24 hours and it completely crashed. The battery appeared to have drained in about 30 minutes resulting in a complete shut down. Nothing worked (called and talked to tech support) and I ended up having to send it back for replacement. When it status shows “shipped” it means that the box to return the defective item has shipped to you. You will need to return it to Apple and once they receive it back they will ship you a new one. The good thing is they the turn around is extremely fast.

Please Help! Ipod 5th gen stuck on restoring
I started downloading the ipod touch software from Itunes on my Windows PC( File size 1.20GB) and then I started updating my device.
When it finished downloading my itunes closed & my device was stuck with the picture with the Itunes Logo and the lighting connector.
I did not know what to do cause my device could not sync with Itunes. When I tried again I had to update Itunes to its current version, but it still did not conncet util I had to find the problem and fix it. Before I fixed the synching error I put my device in DFU mode and the Ipod starting to restore & extract the files.
After it finished extracting the files my ipod turned off & on Itunes it said waiting for Ipod, & then timed out with an error. Then the second time it happened is when it switched of again but when I turned it back on another error poped up saying unable to restore Ipod.
I have been strugglinng fpr 5 days, watching videos how to fix this, reading articles onn how to fix this & even looking up at this community & searched through everything but nothing worked.
Every time I swich my ipod on that Itunes sign stays there.
I tried over 9 times resoring but still the same errors and still the ipod turns off.
Does anyone have a solution cause I tried searching for all kinds but none work.Try on another computer with a different cable

I purchased a Ipod Touch Gen 5 32gb for christmas and i just brought new songs from itunes and i plugged my ipod in to update the songs, itunes came up with a message saying "itunes has detected ipod in restoring mode, you need to restore ipod before you can use itunes." So i clicked restore and after 40 min it said completed but again the message came up. After restoring it about 5 times, nothing changed. I disconnected my ipod from my pc and it just has the image of the itunes symbol and the usb cord. I have the lastest itunes verson. Ive tried everything but nothings worked and i dont want to jailbreak it. Please help!
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

NEED URGENT HELP! iPod 5th gen not restoring or recovering!
About a week ago I tried to downgrade my iPod Touch 5th generation from either iOS 8.3 or 8.1.3 to iOS 8.1.1 as the update was causing me problems. In the middle of it working, my Wi-Fi dropped and the entire process stopped working. It also caused my iPod to enter recovery mode. Every time I have tried to restore it, update it, or update and restore it, none of it works. The progress bar will start to work but after a few minutes various error messages pop up. I have looked up everything I could online and nothing has worked. I have done various things from changing the hosts files on my Windows computer to updating iTunes and to whatever else but still nothing has worked for fixing the problem to my iPod. I even had friend take my iPod and try it on his computer, as one of the solutions I found was to use a different computer, but not even that has worked. I have been at this for a week and its very frustrating and it would just be simply amazing if someone could help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. It would be beyond greatly appreciated as my iPod is very important to me.
Sounds like you hosed up your iPod.. That sometimes happens when using jailbreaking methods to downgrade the IOS.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues -
I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?
After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.
That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys -
HT3204 I can't download apps to my ipod 5th gen - ever since I updated to the ios7.4 :( Please help!
Hi ~
I recently upgraded to the ios 7.04 and ever since I am unable to download apps to my ipod (5th gen).
The new apps show up in my itunes library but they will not download onto my ipod.
I feel as though I have tried everything.
Please help with whatever tips you may have for me!
Thank you!I had to do a quick check, thanks! Here are a few I think should be working:
Temple Run
Sunday Lawn
Where's my Water
Dora Dress up
Dora ABC
Spy Mouse
Super Why
Spongebob Marbles
Some other apps say iOS 4+ but don't list the iPod Touch 2nd gen in the description, so I'm guessing they just don't work no matter the OS. However, the apps listed above say OS 3+ and just say ipod touch, so I think they should work. I'm running iTunes 10.3 but not the most recent release, and am updating as I type just in case that's the problem. Thanks for any help or advice! -

hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working
Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.

Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)
Hi everyone.
My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.

I have an Ipod 5th gen, I added a keyboard which was greek, I had changed my password to a greek short sentence. But the decided to take the greek keyboard off as I didn't use it often, so there was no point in having it. But I forgot to change my password, so I can't enter my Ipod. I've tried to enter the password in English and its not working! I don't really want to restart it all because I will loose everything! If anyone could help that would be great thank you.

I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?
When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives. If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?
