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.

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.

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

Please Help. Ipod Screen Not Working

My screen on my ipod does not work any more.
I have tried restoring/updating it.....everything!!
problem is this is my second due to a faulty battery on the first which apple exchanged free of charge for me so I ma not sure if I am entitled to another ipod or what!!!
If anyone knows how to get the screen working or about 2nd exchanges then please help,
Thanks,
Louise x

If you truly have tried resetting/restoring, then it's time for service. Is it still under warranty, because if so, it won't matter that you have had one exchange already?

Please help me. ipod touch not turning on and not syncing with itunes!!!!

ok. so i tried to turn on my ipod touch and when i pressed the button on the top and the little square one on the bottom it didnt work. it was just a black screen. i tried holding down each button (seperatly and together) but it still didnt work. so i thought maybe plugging my ipod into itunes would work. but when i plugged it into itunes the ipod didnt even come up in the side bar thing, like it usually does. and the screen was still black.
please please please please please help me

try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an ipod touch in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field

PLEASE HELP : Major IPOD Problem

Please Help:
Recently I downloaded the new Itunes(Itunes 7). After downloading it I was prompted to upgrade my Ipod (30g Video) to the new system (1.2). Almost immediatly after finishing this download my Ipod turned off, and is now frozen and will not turn on. Also, my computer doesn't recognize when my Ipod is plugged in, nor does the "Do not disconnect" screen come up, my Ipod stays blank. I called Apple they told me that I can send in my Ipod for it to be fixed, but the hard drive on the Ipod will be wiped. I recently bought a new computer and do not have any of my songs in my library, this is over 2000 (2000 + dollars) songs I have bought that I am currently on the verge of losing.
I have tried various USB ports, two different computers, restarting my Ipod, talking to apple technichal support, putting my Ipod into disk mode, manually trying to get the compter to recognize the Ipod through the manager, and smashing on my desk out of anger hoping that something might happen (just kdding). I believe thats everything, any other ideas you have are greatly appreciated.
If anybody has any ideas on how can get my computer to recognize the Ipod is plugged in so I can back up all the songs (via my computer, ipod...copy all music files) would be greatly appreciated, that way when I send in my Ipod and then get it back, I can put my songs back on.
Thank you in advance!

one thing that you can try is something my dad taught me. This works great especiall if you have a PC.
When i had to replace my laptop and was worried about losing all of my purchased songs from itunes, i was told to plug the ipod into the computer BEFORE installing itunes. it will read on your computer as a mass storage device and then all you need to do is simply go into the folders and copy all of the files into your "my music" folder (or whatever folder you choose). After that, you need to install/reinstall itunes and when it searches your computer for music, ALL of your music (including purchased songs) will show up and all will be okay.
Just a few hints;
although this seems very simple, if you're a simple person like i am, you'll expect to see the songs on your ipod show up with normal/regular titles.....THEY WONT. They'll show up as letter-number combinations, but the music is all there.
In short;
1. uninstall/delete itunes
2. Plug in our ipod (but don't reinstall itunes yet)
3. copy ALL of the files you can find on your ipod
4. reinstall itunes
5. let it search your computer for music
you should be fine at this point.
I hope this helps!

Is it powered on when you connect it?

Please help me. ipod not registering

Hi
My ipod charger broke so I havnt used my ipod for a while. When I pluged in my ipod to my computor it said that it was corrupt and needed to be restored. So I tried that and my computor crashed. Now when I plug it the do not disconect thingy comes up on the ipod but my computor doesnt register it at all. Please help me!!! Im going to my best friends party on Friday and desperately need it sorted by then. If you have any advise at all please reply asap.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Please help frozen ipod

i can tell my ipod isn't frozen because instead of the apple logo i have got a moving animated one. it tells me how much percent it is up to so when it is up to 100 its ready my one just isn't working when i get to 100 % it just stops with a loading circle. that occasionally stops so i have to turn it of so it doesn't stay like that. when i turn it off it comes back on in like 10- 20 mins but when i turn it off and try to turn it off myself it says its out of charge. it knows when i put the charger in because the lightning bolt come up but it is not charging efficiently because i leave it for ages and it still has no charge. i even tried to plug it in to my musicplayer it was put in firmly but it said there was no ipod plugged in. please help i don't want to throw it out

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 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 can't restore

Hi. I am using a 30gb 5th gen iPod on a system running Windows XP. I've had this problem for about a week now, and I've tried everything.
My iPod simply won't restore. I connect the USB, run iTunes, and hit restore - iTunes says it is restoring, and it completes this process. It says the iPod is resetting and when it reboots it will have its factory settings. The iPod screen has the blue reset bar, and it does reset, but when it is finished, I get the same screen I had before - "Connect iPod to computer and restore with iTunes." I get this over and over and over.
Originally, I was getting the error 1418 message, but that has stopped, now it's just doing this.
PLEASE help me! I am desperate. I used that thing everyday, now I am going insane.

I trust that you've tried the 5R basic stuff. Resetting the ipod with the buttons, etc. I saw another post where a Windows user put the ipod into disk mode (I think it was pressing center button and forward arrow) just after the iPod was rebooted, then connecting it to iTunes and restoring. Hope that helps.

Please help my ipod
