Please help me my iPod 160 gb is stuck i have tried my level best for it to work but its of no use

 

I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

  • Please help me! iPod Touch 2 gen stuck in recovery mode!!

    I need help please! Yesterday, I installed the newest version of iTunes on a new PC with Windows XP, and when I connected my 2nd Gen 8GB iPod it prompted me for the new OS4 update to the iPod. I went ahead and said "yes" and walked away. At some point there was some kind of error and my iPod went into recovery mode. iTunes prompted me to restore. I have tried restoring multiple times always with the process reaching the very end where it's "verifying restore" and I get error message: An unknown error has occured (9). Error 9 helps me in no way. I feel I've tried everything and I can't get this thing out of recovery mode! Please help, I'm just sick over this. I haven't even had my iPod a year and I have loved it. Until yesterday.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Hello you can help me my ipod or itunes I do not have total spins music on the ipod and not all the photos I've just not very much since I have up loaded the latest version 5.0 please help

    hello you can help me my ipod or itunes I do not have total spins music on the ipodand not all the photos I've just not very much since I have up loaded the latest version5.0 please help

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Please Help-- 1st Gen iPod not showing in iTunes or desktop :(

    My 20g iPod doesn't show up anymore in iTunes or on the desktop, but the iPod itself does say "do not disconnect" when it's connected to the USB port. It's plugged directly into my computer and I've tried switching ports, so it's not that. I was able to connect my friend's nano, so the problem can't be the port.
    I've done the 5 Rs without success. I only have OS X 10.2.8, so can't upgrade to iTunes 7. I had iTunes 6.0.5 but changed back to 6.0.4 after hearing that it might help with the iPod problem. Nothing seems to have changed, though, the iPod is still unrecognized by iTunes and the desktop.
    I've read a bunch of posts saying to repair disk permissions, but when I open Disk Utility(which does show the iPod) my only options are Verify Disk and Repair Disk. Verify and Repair Disk Permissions are there but are in grey (can't click on them.)...
    And my warranty ran out ages ago, so the Apple people won't help me. Great for them, but I'm screwed.
    So I know very little about how these things work, and everything I've tried has failed thus far. Any advice you have would be wonderful!
    EMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   Mac OS X 10.2.8

    Update: I get this message when the iPod is plugged into the computer:
    "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize. To continue with the disk inserted, click Ignore."
    There are three options: Initialize, Ignore, and Eject, but none of them do anything. ??? I'm clueless as to what to do here.

  • My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!

    My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
    I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
    Can anyone please help?
