Update 1.02- Now continuous restart loop- New Classic 80Gb

Went to synch 2-week old 80Gb classic. Prompted for update, waited until after synch. Then clicked update. Came back later and iPod stuck in a continuous restart loop. Reset/Restart does not work, computer doesn't see it untils it boots...hosed.
Any ideas...?

This was finally resolved, so I thought best to post the results.
*Call #1 to Apple:*
Poor English speaking tech, very hard to even get the address right, and very little product knowledge resulted in returning it to Apple. Within 2 days prepaid box arrived and I shipped back. Within a week, the reply that nothing wrong, or may have been corrected via diagnostic testing- software update, etc.. Worth noting no charge.
Received it back, turned on and woohoo...the menu. Plugged into and opened iTunes. First thing I noticed..FORMATTED WINDOWS (FAT32), even though it left me, and I told Apple I was a Mac user. OK- who cares, as long as it works. Did a full synch, the iPod restarted and right back into the loop of restarts again.
Call #2 to Apple:
This time an English speaking, knowledgeable tech who, for the first time, had me put the iPod into disk mode (center/menu until logo, then center/play until disk mode) and for the first time the iPod was seen by iTunes.
He walked me through the restore, menu came up and began synching. All looked good so I let him go at 40Gb of stuff takes some time. BUT as synch completed, iPod restarted and was stuck in the loop again.
Call #3 to Apple:
This call started bad, tech not really understanding history of things so far, new case ID, and had me doing things already done. However, eventually a product specialist and the tech support call we all dream of. Methodical and full knowledge of the iPod. First thing, clear out old iPod software update files to force new download. Then log in to another user (we all have one right?), and going through the restore in the fresh iTunes. Brought some tunes in from CD, synched and finally a working iPod. OK, now back to the other user.
1. Trashed iTunes library file in my user, and moved the iTune Music Library.xml to the desktop.
2. iPod to disk mode, opened iTunes, cancelled erase and synch, did restore, and manually put some tunes on it. All good.
3. Went through adding tunes and checking, all good.
4. Final was Import the previous iTunes Music Library on the desktop, and synch only a few items. All good.
5. Synch some more, couple hundred, and all good.
6. Final synch all music and let it go. All good.
7. And finally, add photos, TV shows, movies, contacts, calendars, etc. and all flawless.....
So...appears the end result was either a corrupt iTunes Library file or iTunes Music Library.xml file. Note that other iPods (2 shuffles, and a 3G 20Gb) continued to synch without issues, only the new classic suffered from the corrupt files..
As a note: As far as Apple Support was concerned I didn't like the fact that each time new Case ID's assigned, or that I had to constantly explain the "sequence of events" leading up to the current call. In addition, the first call was worthless and had I talked to tech from call number three, it would have been fixed then without even sending in.
Anyway, hope this all helps someone...problem solved.

  • HT1414 the newest update goes into a continuous restart loop

    I had my phone update to 6.1.2 and it restarts after a couple of minutes showing the apple logo over the pages of icons.  I have tried a reinstall, emergency reinstall all to the same response.

    I imagine you are talking about iPhone 4 CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). iTunes will only allow Update or Restore to iOS 6.0.1 You need to update iTunes on your computer to current version 10.7, with computer click the iTunes Tab at the top of this page and install current iTunes 10.7 If this iTunes will not install you may need to update your computer System, or try a different computer.

  • I updated iTunes and now my 160 GB iPod Classic makes iTunes freeze.

    I have done everything from resetting the iPod to uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.  I have formatted and reformatted the iPod.  The iPod actually works, I can go through and fix the settings to my liking.  But when I go to sync with my iTunes, iTunes freezes and I have to reboot the entire computer to be able to use iTunes again.  I just can't plug in the iPod.
    I have also tried a different computer, with the new iTunes and different cords as well.  This makes me afraid to even try to sync my iPhone.
    Help!  What do I do?!

    If you get a message that says Ipod_control is corrupt you should put you Ipod into Disk mode by 1st holding pressing the MENU AND SELECT buttons at the same time util the apple logo appears. Then press the SELECT button and PLAY/Pause buttons at the same time until it goes into disk mode. Once that happens connect it to your computer and you will see your Ipod as an external drive. Right click on the IPOD drive Icon and select properties, then slect tools, then select error checking, then select fix file system errors, then slect OK. Once the system files are fixed, this will take a while, your Ipod will be recognized by Itunes like it use too. I know this is a pain, but its the only thing I could figure out and it worked. Good luck!

  • PC restarts when iPod classic 80GB is connected

    When I connect my new 80GB iPod classic to a USB 2.0 port on my pc, the pc restarts. When I connect to a USB 1 port it works ok but obviously I then have to wait longer to transfer music.
    I've had iTunes installed for over 2 years with an older iPod on my pc and it worked fine in a USB 2.0. I did uninstall and reinstall iTunes (with latest updates) but it still doesn't help. While iTunes was uninstalled, I plugged the iPod into a USB 2.0 port and it didn't restart the pc. As soon as I reinstalled iTunes, the pc kept on restarting whenever I tried to use a USB 2.0 port.
    Does anyone have a solution please?

    There is probably a better answer in the forum somewhere.
    Maybe you should uninstall your USB 2.0 port and restart Windows. Windows will see the USB as a new hardware device and load the correct drivers for it. You can uninstall it in Control Panel, System Properties, Hardware tab, Device Manager. There's also an "Apple iPod USB Driver" located in here, maybe that will work.
    Side note, I also own an 80GB classic, it's hooked up to a regular USB 1.1 port and it really isn't too slow, it did take 20 or 30 mins to transfer the 3200+ songs but I didn't mind. Podcasts transfer pretty fast for me.

  • Unable to Update to 1.1.1 on an ipod classic 80GB

    I have tried to update my ipod to the latest 1.1.1 it seems to go to the right process, until it reboots and connects, but when i look at my software version it still says 1.1 and it tells me " A newer version of the ipod software is available (version 1.1.1) To update your ipod to the latest software, click Update." I have repeated this update several times. Any ideas? Anyone has this problem??
    thank you

    best way to resolve this problem is to restore your ipod

  • Latest update of SwagBucks has hijacked my Open New Tab and uninstalling does not fix... so what now?

    The latest auto update of SwagBucks now locks the Open New Tab page into swagbucks.com.
    I've lost my TILES page.
    My HOME page is still correctly set and regardless of what that is, the Open New Tab page always goes to SwagBucks.com.
    I've removed everything I can find that is SwagBucks, including add-ons/extensions.
    Since that update, there is NO LONGER the usual/stated "cogwheel" for the TILES to turn them back on/set their level of function (classic, enhanced, etc.).
    I use Windows 7 and the latest Firefox Browser, 35.0.1.

    Install this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    It will reset the new tab page, among other things, and then disappear once it has done its work.

  • HT4623 i updated my phone to ios7. now i cant download new apps and slacker radio isnt working. i have gone to an apple store and did a reset. still didnt work. what should i do?

    i updated to ios7 now i cant download new apps. what should i do?

    Try a restore via iTunes. You need to put your device in dfu mode to let iTunes restore. If you don't know to put it in dfu mode, google it.

  • Startup Problem Continual Chime Loop

    Last night I tried upgrading my os but the install froze (I was just booting from the install disk). I had to do a hard restart but ever since then all I get is a continual restart loop.
    The machine restarts, I hear the chime then the DVD spins up. Shortly after there's the restart chime again and I'm stuck in this continual loop. I've tried zapping the PRAM, Power management etc but nothing. I can't eject the DVD, or start in single user mode or anything. Whatever I try, after a few seconds the machine restarts with the chime again.
    So frustrating as the machine was working perfectly beforehand. Now I can do nothing. I've serached the web to no avail, so this is my last hope of getting the PowerBook back!

    OK, upgrade was from 10.4.11 to 10.5. The MBP restarted on the install disk then crashed before the install options came up.
    When I restarted all I got were a series of startup chimes spaced a few seconds apart. I cant get anything from the keyboard. I've tried holding the trackpad button down and nothing happens. I've tried safe mode and nothing and I've tried holding down the 'c' key and again nothing.
    I've also tried starting in target disk mode, but again nothing. Whatever key or combination of keys I press all I see is the sleep light on the base of the MBP this flashes, the DVD whirrs and then the machine restarts. And this happens over and over...
    There are no responses from keyboard presses at all. I'm not sure that even zapping the PRAM has any effect as I can't tell the difference between that and the successive startups I'm getting.

  • 4th Gen Classic in Restart Loop

    Greetings,
    I have a 4th generation classic, 60gb iPod stuck in a continuous restart loop.
    I've been able to put it into disk mode and it is recognizable by iTunes where I did a restore to it after which it went back into a restart loop again. I then put it back into disk mode and erased said iPod with Disk Repair and did a zero out on the drive. Restored again via iTunes and, after resetting, has refused to come out of its restart loop.
    I can load music onto it and everything but use it as an actual iPod.
    Is this the logic board needing a replace or is there something else I can do?

    A. I've done a restore 3 times and it still does the restart loop as well as after a full wipe via Disc Repair. Aka, then it must not be a software problem
    B. I can ONLY get it recognized on my computer in disk mode. Aka I can not use it as an ipod to play music as it refuses to load up out side of disk mode. It falls right into the restart loop after a soft reset.
    Fortunately, I've been able to get all of my music files backed up from the disk mode.

  • After the latest updat to Mavericks 10.9.3, my imac continues to loop back to the login screen...Suggestions??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    After the latest updat to Mavericks 10.9.3, my imac continues to loop back to the login screen...Suggestions??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted? "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.
    I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
    The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
    Thanks for your help,

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Stuck in Restart Loop after Software Update

    I recently ran the update to 10.5.3 a few days ago, and thankfully, it's been working great... until today, when I installed two seemingly innocuous updates via Software Update: one for the latest version of Quicktime and another for Apple Brother Print Drivers 1.1. After restarting, everything fell apart. Several of my start-up apps unexpectedly quit after login, and other apps either failed to launch when I tried opening them, or they simply got stuck in an endless loop of bouncing in the dock. I couldn't even force-quit them because they weren't responding at all. Thinking this strange behavior to be symptoms of some permissions issue, I popped in the Leopard installation CD and ran a permissions repair. It fixed several cryptic problems, one for something to do with Java and another for the cups folder, which I assume has some relation to the printer driver update. I then tried selecting my start-up disk and restarting, but the problem only got worse. Now my iMac is stuck in a restart loop. I tried booting in safe mode, but that hasn't worked. If worse comes to worst, I'll have to revert to a Time Machine backup, or else run an Archive & Install, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions? I'm also curious to know if these two updates had any relevance to these problems, and if so, what the cause may be. I'm thinking the printer driver is to blame, but then again that's only a stab in the dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a Safe Boot again but unfortunately that didn't work, so I had to go ahead and do an Archive & Install. Now everything is up and running; however, I'm going to stay away from that print driver until I figure out exactly what went wrong. I did a little research and saw it listed on MacUpdate.com, where it was posted along with an interesting note: apparently, the update can only be applied if there is already a Brother print driver installed (in this case there was), and in addition to that, the printer must either be connected (and I assume on for the computer to know it's connected in the first place) or have an active print queue for the update to even be listed in Software Update. Strangely enough, neither of these conditions held true when I saw it in Software Update... so I think that might have been the cause, but I can't be sure. I was wondering if anyone else has installed this update successfully, and if so, what they did?
    Thanks again for the suggestions.

    Re: i tried updating my iphone to a new verison but after the update the phone is not restarting, just the apple sign is showing up on the screen. what is the problem?
    I have tried the above fix and iTunes crashes giving error 27 after trying to load the iPhone firmware.
    I have booted my phone in DFU mode and this has made no difference.
    My mac is up to date.
    My iTunes is up to date.
    All i tried to do was update my ios as i have been unable to make calls or send text's all day.
    Do you have any other suggestions as my phone is no good to me now.
    Many thanks,
