Update now ipod useless

Updated my itunes and ipod, was told to plug into wall adapter for changes to take effect so i did. now the screen will only show me a picture of the charger going into the wall or the apple when i turn it off and on. Worked fine before update so tried to reset it and nothing happens ran diagnostics in itunes and says connection failed and the last bubble comes up red.
Please help me tech savy people!

Try some other charger, if you have one (USB 2.0 port, speakers, friend's speakers, car charger, etc.)

I hope this helps!

  • Ipod updater-now ipod not working

    I just updated my ipod mini, but now it does nothing but show the apple sign and then turn itself off after about 30 seconds.I have tried charging it, and connecting it to my computer, but it doesnt seem to fix anything.
    Thanks in advance-Dch-p

    Dylan,
    Try to fix it with a Mac computer. First you must plug your iPod with a AC charger, put it in Disk Mode, plug your PC's formatted iPod with a Mac computer, your iPod will show up in the Desktop, open the Disk Utility and do a ERASE (fomat) in MS Dos format. Once completed, plug it with your PC and you will see the window pop up and ask you to do the Restore for your PC to read it. Then open the iPod updater and click Restore.

  • ILife 06 update now iPod does not sync

    Folks,
    agter upgrading to iLife 06 the update of my iPod does not work. I get the message that iTunes cannot write or read to this disk.
    I had iTunes 6.02 before the update and everything worked fine.
    IPod is an 60GB photo with newesr firmware.
    Thanks
    Oliver

    You may have an Ownership & Permissions problem on your iPod.
    Select your iPod on the desktop and Get Info (command-I).
    Set the permissions to 'You can Read & Write'. Expand 'Details:' and click 'Apply to enclosed items...'.
    Tick the checkbox 'Ignore ownership on this volume'.
    If your iPod does not show up on the desktop, you have to 'Enable disk use' in Prefernces>iPod (iTunes preferences)
    Hope this helps.

  • Updated my ipod to ios5,and now it doesn't play most of my songs.

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to iOS5,and it turned to be much slower than before and the most wired thing is that now it doesn't play most of my songs!
    Play lists are useless now since if I click one of them and choose some songs,my ipod stops at the screen of what's "now playing" and stay silent,sometimes it jumped to another song!Probably not the problem linked to my apps 'course I made sure others apps tured off.And I still have half of the space free in this Touch.Same problems also jumped out the next time I turn it on.
    btw,iOS5 ***** when it's on ipod touch.Making it like an old machine and,whithout WiFi, most of the new functions and new apps are just white elephants.
    Can anyone tell me is this just what happening on my iPod touch or there are many people waiting for Apple to fix these bugs just like I am?
    Or maybe someone who can help me solve this problem.
    I'm waiting my music back into my ears!thanks a lot!

    Thanks for starting this topic.  Upgraded my third gen Touch to IOS 5.0, and now the iPod Music App refuses to play some songs, skips over others, and stops in the middle of a playlist, whether it's shuffled or not.  There doesn't appear to be any commonality in the songs that fall victim.

  • I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak

    I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak. ive tried 'forgetting this network" in settings; tried turning off and on again; and pulling my hair out! The last was equally useless and a little painful!

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Pwer off and then back on yur router

  • I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it having issues with wifi connection

    I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it keeps saying my wifi password is incorrect. Ive reset my network settings and it is still not working. any ideas?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I was trying to update my ipod touch and an error occured. Now it says I'm suppose to connect it to itunes and restore it to it's original settings. That's going to make me lose all my pictures and stuff right?

    Okay, while I was updating my ipod an unknown error occured. Now It's telling me I need to connect it to itunes, even though it's plugged in already. And when It does connect it shows up as a generic "ipod".  It doesn't even show my ipod anymore. And it wants me to restore it. It said something around the lines of "restore ipod so it can connect to itunes." Isn't that going to delete all my pictures and stuff? I don't think it saved the reboot from when it was updating!I just want all my settings and stuff back! I don't want to lose all my stuff especially my 2,000 pictures on there! Ugh! Help!

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

  • I tried to update my ipod and had to back up on computer. I never created a password for the back up but now I can't get into my ipod

    I am locked out of my iPod. I tried to update the iPod so I could download a song I just bought. Had to back up the library on my computer. After I installed the software and updated the iPod, iTunes is asking for the password for the backup, but I never typed a password. Now I can't get into my iPod at all.

    That happens some times.

  • TS1420 I updated my ipod to 5.1.1 and now it wont sync downloaded music onto my ipod. All the music I purchased through itunes went on the ipod during backup restore and my downloaded music went into my itunes library but won't sync onto my ipod.

    I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.

    After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

    Try as much as you can. When it says to place in recovery mode use this program instead.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
