Restore iPod not working...please help!

I plugged in my nano recently to be met with this message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore it before it can be used with iTunes." So I clicked on the 'restore' button in iTunes. I go through the restore process and it tells me "Your iPod has been restored to factory settings, and is restarting. Please leave the iPod connected, and it will appear in the source list once it completes the restore process". The ipod never appears in the source list and iTunes gives me the original message that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and that I need to restore it! What is going on???!?!??!

  • Ipod not working, please help!!!!

    I brought my ipod nano in september of last year. i have had no problem with it unitll now. yesterday when i went to navigate through the music section on my ipod it reset itself to the black apple logo. i have now fixed this problem and can navigate through the "music" file. However now whenever i connect the ipod to itunes, my ipod is recognised however when i connect it, it immediatly dis-connects itself from itunes. i also have a black pad lock next to the bar at which states how much free space i have left on the ipod. What is this?!?!?. i have read about many peoples problems with corrupt podcasts and i believe that i have a corrupt podcast. when i explore the ipod in my computer it shows a podcast in the music folder which i have tried to delete but whenevr i try to delete it it comes back again. this is the route to my problem i believe becasue now deleting every song off the ipod through my computer, this podcast is the only remaining item left on the ipod. I have tried the 5r's to correct my problem but whenevr i get to the last "r" (restore) i open the ipod updater and it says "internal ipod manager error" and shuts down the ipod updater.
    sorry for the long post and please, someone help me!!!<br>

    The lock is normal. It means the iPod is set to automatically update.
    Also, where are you deleting the podcast from? A folder on the iPod through My Computer?

  • I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

    I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
    Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
    entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply

    the built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out. OS: Windows Vista (32-bit)

    here is a sample code .
    so far you procedure looks good but
    i bet you have to specify the name of report , instead of 'filename'.
    see this
    Plist_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
    IF NOT ID_NULL(Plist_id) THEN
    DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(Plist_id);
    END IF;
    Plist_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
    ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Receive_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Receive_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_time', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_time,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Issue_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Issue_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Workshop_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Workshop_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    -- RUN_PRODCT(REPORTS,'..\Reports\Pro_License',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, Plist_id, NULL);
    -- here Pro_License is the name of report.
    did you tried to see if the parameter passed using a message ?
    try
    message('parameter name'); pause; write this before "run_report".
