Please Help My iPod is stuck

I connected my iPod nano to my macbook, iTunes was open. The spinning wheel spun for a minute or so, then a widow appeared saying that I ejected my iPod incorrectly. The iPod never appeared in the source list. I tried resetting the iPod. I unplugged from computer and tried resetting, nothing. I plugged it back in to the computer and looked for it in Finder, it's not there. I still have it plugged into my computer and it still says Connected, but it isn't recognized by iTunes or my Macbook. I would greatly appreciate any help.

It actually fixed itself. I unhooked the iPod from the computer, and it was still stuck on and said that it was Connected. I had to go out for a few hours. When I returned home the iPod screen was blank, I tried to turn it on. A yellow triangle with a white exclamation point appeared on the screen- and it said to connect to power. I plugged it in, a few seconds later my iPod was back. I checked to see if my playlists were still there, they were. I also picked a random song to listen to, it played. Maybe someone out there will experience something similar, I'd tell you to let the battery charge drain and then plug it in to a power source. Hopefully it will work for someone else.

  • Please Help, My ipod is stuck in disk MODE...

    My ipod is stuck in disk mode, I try to reset it but it doesnt work. I tried using ipod updater to restore it, but i only get "Firemare update failure. Disk write error." If you have any suggestions please post

    Well my itunes doesnt even read my nano. Right now all I want to do is just restore it but...it keeps saying "Firmware update failure. Disk write error." So how do i restore my ipod if i keep getting this error?
    Oh yeah, the reason my nano is in disk mode is cause my pc restarted while i was uploading music into it.

  • Please Help! Ipod Touch Gen 5 stuck in restoring mode.

    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.

  • Please help my ipod

    My ipod all of a sudden doesn't work it's stuck on Do not disconnect and on locked i have it set on unlock but it won't change and the computer isn't even registering that it's plugged in please help me i don't know what to do and i need to keep my songs on it because i have no backup for them.

    You need to reset it. 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 10 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The songs are grayed out in iTunes because the iPod is set to automatically update. That is normal.
    As for the songs skipping and not playing, that is not.
    Try resetting your iPod...

    Also, make sure all the software on both your computer and iPod is up to date...

  • Please help, my iPod is continuosly resetting.

    My iPod wasn't loading up any album artwork this morning, so I figured I should try and reset it. Now, it won't stop resetting. The screen is stuck on the Apple logo, and lights up like it is starting up, then goes off. Connecting it to the computer does not affect it, and the computer does not recognize/acknowledge it. I recently update the iPod/iTunes to the latest versions, and have not had any other problems. It was working fine the night before. Please help, thanks.

    okay, try downloading ipod updater and then update your ipod. it sounds simple, but give it a shot. if you need to know more about the problem, check out this link:

  • 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 20GB Wont Start OR Update OR Format.

    When i try to turn my iPOD 20gb on it comes up with a folder and a exclamation mark with a link, then shuts straight back down. i have downloaded latest software and when i try ti use it i can only RESTORE. When i try to RESTORE the bar does not fill up. then an error message comes up saying cannot mount iPOD.

    additional info
    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

  • Quicktime version 7.0.3- PLEASE HELP I'VE BEEN STUCK FOR MONTHS

    I downloaded the new version of itunes but had a problem when opening itunes after the update. A message appears and reads 'Newer version of quicktime required, Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, itunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall itunes'. I have resinstalled itunes and even installed the quicktime update but nothing works. I cannot undo itunes to resolve anything and it is frustrating as I cannot change my ipod playlist and haven't been able to do so for several months. Nothing works and I don't know what to do! Please help me!

    hiya!
    I have resinstalled itunes and even installed the quicktime update but nothing works.
    just checking. did you use the "QuickTime + itunes" link on the QT download page? that actually downloads an itunes/QT installer bundle. to get a genuine standalone QT off that page you have to click on the "Quicktime Standalone Installer" bullet point (down by the "QuickTime FAQ").
    let's try a careful standalone 7.0.3 install again. (even if this gives us an error message, that error message should give us more information about the nature of the underlying problem with the QT installs.)
    first, download and save a copy of the Standalone QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off all antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
    if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include any error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if the install goes through, will your itunes launch properly again?
    keep us posted.
    love, b
