Transfer complete, now iPod wont respond

I followed the steps on Apples on line support to use my iPod classic to transfer 8,000 songs from my Macbook Pro to my new MacPro successfully. However, now my iPod reads that it has no music on it at all. But when I plug it in to either computer, it won't export the library to the iPod, saying there's not enough room. For that matter, the status bar does indeed indicate that there isn't enough room left. But where's all my music on my iPod? And why are the computers arguing over the iPod, saying it can only be synced to one library at a time? They're the same library!!! Please help.

    Hi mikemikenation,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 5s.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,

  • Ipod wont respond

    The click wheel on my ipod mini wont respond at all. I cant reset it or do anything using the click wheel. I have tried updating my software and even completly restoring the ipod to no effect. I have no idea what could be wrong with it please help.

    make sure the hold button isn't on, and then hold the centre button and menu button down until you see the apple logo. if that fails, use the hold switch and flick it on and off until the apple logo appears.

  • Ipod Wont Respond! Help!

    Ive had my Ipod since last christmas, so almost a year. my warranty is about to expire too..anyway. I was listening to my music as usual and i was using shuffle. I pressed >> so i could skip some songs, then my ipod stpped playing my songs (showing the song on screen, but then just went to the next, paused, went ot the next without playing) it then just shut off and it wont turn back on. I was on half battery and i really dont knwo what to do. the hold button was off, i tried to chrage but it wont respond, help!

    On December 20th 2005 my iPod Clickwheel [4th Gen] (40G) failed, the built-in self-diagnostic routines telling me that there was a hard disk failure. I called Apple and was informed that I would have to pay £169 to get the device “repaired” (actually what I would be doing is purchasing a refurbished iPod). £169 is 61.5% of the price I paid the AppleStore in September 2004, some 15 months earlier.
    In speaking to customer relations, I pointed out that I have purchased lots of other hardware and software all from the AppleStore over the past two years including three Macs each with AppleCare plans and I’ve been a .Mac member since its inception. None of this made any difference.
    Macintouch have completed surveys that make it clear that, in their own words, “. . . the iPod 40G ClickWheel is a lemon”

  • Ipod wont respond in any way shape or form

    I have the 1st generation Ipod touch but it has softwares updates, the latest until th point that i couldnt not update no more. if im not incorrect its the 3.1.2? maybe im not sure anyways. The other day i had it at under 20% when i needed to do somethng urgent on it and then it shut off(because of low battery) then i tried to turn it on again and opened Safari before it completely died again. The next morning i plugged it in and it just went to the black screen with the Gray Apple Logo on it and then it just turned off again, not showing the normal Battery charging picture or anything. I tried everything and nothing worked, switched the cables, tried charging it with my Xbox, another Computer messed with the only two buttons that are available and nothing helped. Today the situation worsened as now it wont even turn to the black screen with gray Apple logo. How can i possibly fix this by myself? Any sugestions? I would truely truely truely truely appreiated it if you some way to fix this. Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Well my friend im sure this is the answer you wanted but, I think that it has died. You can try to take it to the genius bar but i think they will tell you the same thing. Technology ages. The processor built in wasnt designed to proccess iOS 3.x.x or above. It dosent have enough power to do so and it can overload and die.

  • Updated windowsn, now Ipod wont work

    I recently upgraded from Windows ME to Widows XP. I did this in order to be able to update my Ipod. My Ipod is relatively old, and ran under the MusicMatch Jukebox before. Now with an upgraded music match, and a new download of itunes with windows XP, my Ipod wont sync-up. It doesnt start in Itunes or musicmatch, and it keeps all music as music match. Also, I can't add new music. Any suggestions?

    Get rid of Musicmatch. iTunes does not work well if it is used along with Musicmatch.

  • TS1363 I'm trying to sync my ipod nano to my recently restored hard drive. At one point while i was getting it all loaded again I did connect my device but told it not to sync as my library wasnt complete, now it wont give me that option anymore. How do i

    While trying to rebuild my library after loosing my harddrive, I conneced my ipod nano 3rd Gen. to charge and  when prompted if I wanted to sync (warning I would be replacing the library) I didnt accept as I only had a few songs replaced. Now I finally have my library rebuilt andI cant get it to sync. In windows It only shows as "Photo Stream."

    Restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes to associate the Nano with your new iTunes library.

    I bought a used ipod touch I deleted everything on the ipod I didnt have it connected to my computer, and now all it does is shows an itunes logo with a plug, and I plug it into my computer and my computer doesnt recognize it.  How can I fix this?  Do i need a new cord?

  • Ipod completely blank and wont respond to anything. what should i do? whats wrong?

    My iPod fell in water a few months ago and I decided to take it to the authorised dealer in my city, Nairobi. They told me they couldnt fix it. Today, I connected it into my laptop and it said 'Charging, Please Wait...' so i did until the apple logo appeared with the light behind. Later on, it went off and my laptop has really tried to restart it, but it gives me these random errors (a different one each time) I really need it back. Please help!

    I tried that as well but the screen just went blank again. Then randomly, it says connect to power and even so, it still says connect to power. Its barely a year old.

  • Ipod Wont Respond in windows after disco

    I recently had my Ipod plugged into my Windows XP box. As I was transfering files from the harddrive to the PCs harddrive via windows explorer, my 1 y/o came and forcibly disconnected the Ipod from the computer. Naturally, all the transfered were disrupted. However, now when I plug in the ipod into the computer, My Computer registers the removable harddrive, but not the ipod (when the ipod is plugged, it displays Ipod, but when I disco it thru iTunes, it just says Removable Harddrive, in My Computer)
    Since the Ipod portion of the harddrive isnt being seen, I cant see it in iTunes either. Whats worse, is I cant access any of the files on the harddrive of the Ipod (It hangs when I try to open it or right-click it)
    Any thought people? Thanks!

    Same kinda thing happened to my ipod except it was
    the 1st time I conected so I never finished instaling
    the ipod. Windows is just saying "USB Devise Not
    Recognized" Anyone know if and how I can fix this? or
    do I need to take it somewhere to be fixed?
    I went through the same **** just the other night. In my enthusiasm to get my Ipod video up and running, I plugged in my Ipod BEFORE I installed the software- even though the disc has a very clear sticker stating "Install software before connecting Ipod". I have no patience.
    So then I got the USB Device Not Recognized message after the install. ARRGH!! After hours of trying to find drivers, software updates, fully charging the ipod, etc, here's what I did:
    I reset the Ipod (connect ipod to computer, set Hold switch to Hold, then turn it off again, press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears). It worked! I was able to complete the install because suddenly Windows recognized the Ipod device.
    The quick start manual indicates that you should reset the Ipod if the Ipod isn't responding, NOT if Windows isn't recognizing it. They should update their troubleshooting portion of the quick start guide. Hope this helps!

  • Problem with IOS 6 download and now ipod wont work

    i got a notification about the new IOS 6 version to download and so i accepted and downloaded it...the download completed but then my iPod went black and never came back on. i gave it time to turn on by itself but nothing happened. i went home and plugged it in to itunes and it states my ipod is in recovery mode and that in order to pursue further action i need to restore i have restored it multiple times and nothing happens. it just verifies restore with itunes and says its waqiting on ipod but nothing ever happens. what do i do now? i need my iPod up and running soon!

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod wont respond to reset or to plugging in

    My iPod suddenly stopped responding. It´s turned off and will not respond to being plugged into the wall or into my computer. It won´t restart. If it was the battery wouldn´t it still turn on when plugged into the wall? I don´t want to loose all my music by sending it into get a new battery. Apple told me to transfer all my music to my computer first but my computer wont recognize it. Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much!

    it just needed to drain its battery

  • Recently formated, now ipod wont connect!

    I recently formated my pc and now when im trying to connect my ipod to itunes, It doesnt connect no mather how long i let it plugged. When i plug it, my computer does say new software found (Ipod) but it just wont connect to itunes so i can put new songs to replace old ones.
    When i try to formate to factory settings or updates, says its not contected evan though it is.
    I tried to connect it with the usb wire that came with it and with my firewire that came with my Ipower.
    It worked very well before I reformated my pc, is there anything i can do?

    I didnt until this morning, what I did last night is I left my coputer opened. Now im guessing it fully charged my ipod to the max (says soemwhere something like takes 13 hours to charge it to the max) And this morning i check on itunes and I saw my ipod on my itune.
    I dont know if it will work with you, i know many have the same issue and it could ne worth trying.
