Repaired ipod still not working, failure code 117

My 5th Generation iPod has been freezing for the passed few months so about a month ago, I sent it in for repair. The iPod came back with a letter saying that there was nothing wrong with it. The AppleCare had expired before I got it back from Apple and when I received it, it was still freezing frequently. I have reset and restored it numerous times before sending it in and after I got it back. When I try turning it on, all I get is an Apple on the screen. I googled this issue and I found something saying that I should try holding menu and center and then menu and previous to get it to go into diagnostics. When I run the automatic diagnostics, I get a message saying:
"Failure code: 117 with 14 fails"
The site I was reading doesn't actually say what the error codes mean. Do you guys have any suggestions.

Replacement iPod - Still Not Working

Last week I sent my 30GB to Apple for service (after having it only a month) and I recieved my replacement yesterday, but I'm still having issues.
When I first got it home, it hooked up to iTunes and my laptop just fine, but then it stopped transferring songs and I got errors and I had to restore it.
Since I restored it last, I cannot get it connected to the computer properly. iTunes does not recognize it and when I hook it up to the installer, it says "Initializing..." and just sits there forever, doing nothing. A few times it's told me to restart the computer, which I've done, and then it went back to the "Initializing..." I also tried it in data mode, and still nothing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and the iPod updater (both the 2006-03-23 update and the old 2006-01-10) and I have been all over the website and I have tried ALL of Apple's suggestions. I tried hooking it up to another computer - a desktop - and it wouldn't work there, either, which leads me to believe that it's the iPod and not the computer.
It's bad enough that I had to get a month-old iPod replaced, but now the new one won't work, either. I'm very frustrated. Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm about to just send it back to Apple again....
HP Windows XP 30GB White

Nevermind...
I finally called customer service and the guy was very helpful but nothing he had me do worked, so I'm sending it to Apple... AGAIN!
I'm my third iPod doesn't work either, I will be very upset. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.

The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk. Have tried disk utility to repair but still not working.

My time machine backup has failed for the last couple of days. Im getting the message saying," error. this may be temporary, if the problem persists, go to disc utility to repair the problem."
I have done the first aid in the disc utility and still not repaired. Do I erase the disc, as it says????

1. Reboot the TC alone.. Just pull out the power cord.. count to 10 and plug it back in.
If TM still cannot find the disk..
2. Do a full network reboot.. everything off.. restart in correct order.. modem.. wait 2min.. TC wait 2min.. then all the clients..
If TM still cannot find the disk..
3. Factory reset the TC and do a fresh configuration. The TC is known to occasionally throw a wobbly and spontaneously forget its name.. part of old age.. (2years is starting towards old age for a TC).
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
If TM still cannot find the disk..
4. Wipe the old backup.. and start afresh.. this sometimes also happens.
You can try a verify of the disk. See A5 here.

Sometimes a clean fresh TM backup is the only way.
Good luck.

Ipod still not working

Hi. I asked a question earlier because my Ipod is not responding. I restored it and when it said prossesing data or something like that I clicked devises and then I think I stopped the prossesing data thing. My ipod still will not turn on. Im very frustrated and it took 2 hours to restore. My waranty is still good. If I do get another Ipod from this website, do I have to pay for it since I have a waranty? Do I need to take my Ipod to the Apple store? Thanks for your help.
Ipod Touch, 4g, 8gb, 9 months old

As long as it's a legit site and you didn't get it from someone on eBay, you can take it to the apple store, but you may have to prove where you got the product from. I bought my phone from orange website, but I got it replaced in the apple store, so you should be good on that, but just phone the company you bought it from and ask them about it first, they may replace or advise you to go to apple. Good luck.

New iPod still not working

I went to the Apple store and they gave me a new iPod which worked for a little until it stopped connecting to iTunes. The message says "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
I uninstalled iTunes but now when I try to install iTunes an error message comes up. What do I do now?

Try to uninstall the iPod Updater and iTunes using the add/removal software, then download the latest iTunes and iPod updater from apple.com. Install both of them, then open ipod updater, wait and until you are asked to plug your iPod with the computer, then connect it and click Restore.

IPOD STILL NOT WORKING EVEN AFTER SERVICE

Hi,
I can't belive this. I sent my ipod off for service because my ipod had a problem with its battery. The ipod would cut off when the indicator showed 1/2 full this happened about an hour into play. Yes the battery life was only about an hour.
So when i got it back I was so glad but I've just been using it and the problem still persists. I have tried the battery test and the ipod fails this test.
I cannot understand why apple has sent me my ipod back unchanged. I paid £180 for my first generation mini and at the moment it is almost useless as I have to constantly charge the battery up.
Can anyone give me some advise??? Thank You For Your Time

Did you get an email adress or phone numer for someone to complain too? I got 2 ipods. One broke sometime ago and we go a replacment and now both of them are broken. (Its not my PC, I use a Sony MP3 and it works fine). It is the lack of customer service that is bugging me. I have been trying to call Apple or an Apple store for days. Totally rubbish. My daughter threw her ipod out today!!! If you get a UK phone number or amail address please let me know. Cheers

I have restored my ipod nano 2nd generation but its still not working

i have reset my ipod and restored it but it is still not working. i have connected to itunes and it has loaded some music onto it but though the light comes on you cannot see anything else on the screen. any suggestions would be appreciated

It might be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

I downloaded the pokemon yellow version app for my ipod touch more than a month ago and it is still not working. It has not worked for anybody who bought it. How can I get my money back?

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

When connecting my ipod nano (5 gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not properly. Ive tried everything the support site says and it still not working. What do I do now?

When connecting my ipod nano (5th gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not propperly. I treid everything that the support site said to do but it still not working. What do I do no?

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

SO HERE IS HOW YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR DATA:
Get your Fullbackupdata-Contactfile.
1. First go to your backupfile: (C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Sony\Sony PC Companion\SomeNameDependsOnLanguage\
2. Make a Copy of your backup-File (crtl+c, crtl+v)
3. We want to change the file extension, so make sure you see it. If you don't see a .dbk at the end of your file, go in the explorer window in the left upper corner on organise -> Folder and search options. Change to view and then deselect "Hide extensions for known File types"
4. Rename (F2) the file to backup.zip
5. Open the zip with 7zip or something similar.
6. Navigate to Applications\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport and get the fullbackupdata file which is lying in this folder.
7. Put this file on your Desktop.
8.Download this jar-File: http://ge.tt/64TJmne/v/0?c
9. Put the .jarFile also on your desktop.
10. Doubleclick the .jar-File. After a few seconds a new file with the name "restore.tar" should show up (If not check if your fullbackupdata-File really has the name "fullbackupdata" and is on the desktop)
11. Open the .tarfile with 7Zip
12. Navigate to restore.tar\apps\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport\f\
13. Copy full_backup_vcard.vcf to the Desktop.
If everything worked you're finished, you can open this .vcf File via Windows-contacts -> import or put it directly on your phone and import it there (open Contacts. Settingsbutton -> impot)
If you don't trust my .jar file, you can also download the github-project follow their orders and compile it yourself.
