Tried everything, what now?

Ok, I turned on my iPOD the other day and got the folder icon with exclamation point. I have tried to reset, reformat, and restore, all normally and in disk mode, nothing is working. I have re-installed iTunes and updated the iPod software. When I use iPOD updater to restore, the process wont complete and gives me a message like...firmware update failure. ***? Anyone have any suggestions?

Apple TV stopped responding to remote, tried everything, what now?

Tonight my husband and I sat down to watch our rented movie and strangely, the Apple TV didn't display any rented movies, and when I tried to connect to the iTunes store it said it was unavailable and to try again later. Promptly it stopped responding to the remote—not even to the Menu and - combo that is supposed to restart it. When I held those keys down, after about 5 seconds the light on the Apple TV unit turned amber, but nothing happened. I tried this several times and finally gave up. Then I unplugged/replugged the unit and held down the key combo while it restarted. It have me the option to run diagnostics, and at this point the remote started working again, so I ran the diagnostics (it says everything is OK), and then I chose the option to restart. Once it restarted and was on the main menu, it no longer responded to the remote again.
I have over 100 gigs of movies plus rented films on my Apple TV, so needless to say the LAST thing I want to do right now is to do a factory restore and wait DAYS and DAYS for all the data to get back on there (plus have my network hogged by the activity).
BTW I've tried both key combinations to pair and unpair the remote with no success. I'm so frustrated right now!! Is there ANYTHING else I can do?

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I did the factory restore and the Apple TV is now responding correctly to the remote. However, I'm having a problem in iTunes now: the Apple TV appears in the list under Devices, but when I click on it, under Summary I only see the software version (2.1) and the serial number—no choices on syncing. The Cancel and Apply buttons at the bottom are grayed out. The only other tab is Photos, which allows me to choose photos to sync and offer the Apply button, but after I click it there is no choice anywhere to sync.
Very bizarre, no?
BTW I'm running the latest version of iTunes.

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

If you are having issues using OTA (over the air) to update...
Do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.
See the Using iTunes Section Here...

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer

HT1655 i have my 2nd generation ipod shuffle and i have had it for about 2 years now. I have fully charged it and it still wont play. i have tried everything what should i do?

what should i do?

I don't know what "everything" is, unless you state them, so I have to ask if you did this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.

If that does not help, is the iPod recognized by iTunes when it is connected to USB? If so, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Settings screen. There should be a Restore button there. Restore will erase the iPod, install the latest software, and give it the default settings. After it completes, load some songs on it and try it again. Hopefully, it will play now.
If that does not help either, please post back.

Ipod nano sync error 13019 - I've tried everything suggested.Now I Have a blank Nano. Any suggestions?

Now I have a blank nano.

Hello RonTheStockGuy,
I agree with Ingo2711. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
The steps are kinda long but they work.
This is for windows computers with iPod nano that get the error 13019 during or after a sync with iTunes.
-Open itunes
--click, edit, click preferences
--select advanced
---make a note of the iTunes media folder location on a notepad.
---put a check in organize files
---take the check out of copy files
---click ok
--Click file, at the top of iTunes
--move mouse over library, select organize, and consolidate files. ( This ensures all music in you iTunes will be in the iTunes media folder later.)
At this point, if you have playlists you want to save:
-Create a folder on your desktop, call it, playlists
--Hover you mouse over your playlist in iTunes, should be at the bottom of the blue/grey column on the left.
--right click the playlist, select export playlist
--Navigate to your desktop and open the playlist folder and save.
---Do this for each playlist you want to save
-Close itunes
-Click your start button, and open computer or my computer
--Using what you wrote down on your note pad, follow the path to the "iTunes folder", NOT the iTunes media folder
--Open the iTunes folder.
--Stop here
-You will see icons that look like folders and you will see icons that look like files-
-You will KEEP the FOLDERS
-You will DELETE the FILES
--If it makes you more comfortable you can cut the files out and paste on your desktop, but as of now we do not need the files any longer as we have the playlists backed up. Remember-Keep the folders.
--That was the magic--
-Disconnect your iPod if connected.
-When you open your iTunes, it will be empty, that is OK. We are recreating the library. Everything will come back in a few seconds.
-Click file at the top
--Select, add FOLDER to library, not to be confused with add file.
--In the window that pops up, locate and click on computer or my computer
--From here follow the path to the iTunes media folder on your note pad, but do not open the iTunes media folder.
--Click the iTunes music/media folder one time so it highlights.
--On the bottom right you will have option to select folder, or choose folder or OK. Hit that button.
All you music will start to import back into iTunes.
-Plug in iPod after completed
--a message pops up about being synced with a different library.
--Click erase and sync
--Watch all your songs go on your iPod with no error message.
From here you may sync your iPod the way you want with out worrying about the persnickety error 13019!!!!!
Hope this helps!!!
Julian
p.s. Follow the directions exactly.
p.s.s. To add your playlists back to iTunes:
-Click file at the top of the screen
--move your mouse over library, selecte import playlist
--on the new screen that pops up, navigate to your desktop
--open the playlist folder, select the first playlist, hit ok
--repeat for each playlist exported
