Video ipod NOTT working.. Computer won't reconize.. Ipod wont turn on..

When I selected a song on my ipod, it suddenly froze, so I reset it. Then when I attempted to turn it back on, it showed the sad ipod. Now I can't turn my ipod on, and whenever I try to it makes a.. weird noise. I went to the support section on apple, but nothing really worked, since the computer did not recgonize my ipod. Then a message popped up saying “One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.”
So, could anyone help me out here? Please?

Does it appear in the iPod Updater?
No.
Does it appear in My Computer?
No
Can you restore it?
No
Does this help?
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
When I get to the step where you have to delete the ipod folder, a message pops up saying the access is denied, and to make sure all itunes windows are closed. They are.
Also, it is sometimes helpful to open the iPod Updater prior to connecting the iPod (if it doesn't work at first).
Neither worked for me
If the sad face is appearing, you really need to restore it. Focus on getting it to appear in the iPod Updater rather than iTunes.
Now it shows the folder icon instead.

Computer won't reconize iPod(Yet it still works fine as an iPod)

I have a 5.5 gen 80GB iPod, and it's always worked fine(Even through multiple attempts at using iPod Linux and Rockbox). Last night I go and plug it in to my Linux laptop, worked fine for what I used it for(just getting to files I had saved on it), and as far as I know(First time using Linux, just installed it), I didn't do anything to it other then access files. Now when I go to plug it into my Windows box, it says there was some error reconizing it. What happened and how do I fix it?

Ah, just turned out to be a fluke. I plugged it into my Linux computer again today, trying to see if perhaps it changed the filesystem or something. Worked fine on Linux, file system was still FAT32(Standard iPod filesystem), so I tried it once more on the Windows box, works fine now.

If not works try to plug it with a Mac and do a Restore there, then replug it with your PC and do a restore again back to Pc version.

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. What does this mean or what should i do?

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. I also tried plugging it in to the charger but it still did not work. What does this mean? What should i do?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

No, they are different. If you look at the replacement part for the 4th gen shuffle's USB cable

it says it's only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.

I forgot my password for my ipod and tried to restore it now it wont turn on. what do i do?

i forgot my password for my ipod and tried to restore it now it wont turn on. not sure what to do. HELP?

The first way you can connect the iPod to the computer it was originally configured on, and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked. You then can go into the preferences and turn off the lock. If you don’t have access to the original computer or it just does not work, you can jump to the second method. The best fix for any iPod problem is the classic “restore your iPod to factory settings.” That this will erase all data on your iPod and take you back to day one, but you can just add your music and data back to iPod from iTunes. This is the true benefit of the iPod / iTunes relationship.

Ipod 80Gb - 5 R's haven't worked, computer won't recognise, please help.

Hey there kindly folk,
I've read through posts on this and other sites and tried what feels like hours worth of solutions but I'm at my wits end. Here's the details, hope someone can help.
1) Have 80GB classic Ipod.
2) All has been working fine for months ...
3) Recently plugged it in to sync and Windows Vista popped up a screen saying something like 'drive is corrupted' and asked me if I wanted to repair it. I said yes, nothing much happened.
4) Since then, neither Itunes, nor my computer, will recognise my ipod.
5) Have checked device manager, it's not there. Even after multiple resets and switching to other USB ports.
6) Have tried the '5 R's' with no success.
7) Have updated all vista and itunes software. No success.
7) Have tried putting it into disk mode. Got it into disk mode but computer still wouldn't recognise it.
8) Now the battery has drained and it won't charge. When I try to reset the ipod it's screen shows a yellow ! point and says 'connect to power'. As the computer doesn't seem to recognise it exists, it won't power up. Have left it plugged in for hours, with no success.
So, I guess the question is - what now? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Have you got an AC power adapter? They used to be shipped with ipod, and I still got mine from the 3rd gen one.
You DO need that to fully recharge ipod. An apple store will either sell you one or even perhaps charge it for you.
Should they exchange it, the IFRST thing, you must do is plug into the AC charger, PRIOR to connecting it to computer. For some reason, apple do recommend a FULL AC charge first.
Good luck

My new and old computer won't reconize my ipod

I got instructions off apple.com on how to move my itunes library from my old computer to my new one. I followed every step. I have mini4G and didn't have enough space needed to transfer my music and music files so I did what the instructions told me to. I hadjust got done downloading the files to my Ipod and was going to start the procese on my new computer which I had already installed itunes 7.0 and hooked my ipod up to my computer followed the next couple off steps( at this time it reconized my Ipod) then did the reset step and wam! No more Ipod! My old or new computer can't reconize my Ipod anymore! How could this be? How do I get my Ipod back . now all it will do now is charge... Could someone please help me? I've only had it for a year. If I'd know this would happen I would just put all my cd's and puchased songs on manually. It would have took a long time but at least this wouldn't have happend.

Computer won't read iPod, reset/restore does not work

My 20GB iPod is having the problem where when you turn it on it displays the file folder and exclamation point and someone I know from school told me it's a corrupt file and I need to clean off my iPod and put all my songs back on to correct it.
No form of the reset does anything and neither does anything from Apple's troubleshooting pages thus far.
When the iPod is not plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, and the folder/exclamation point.
When the iPod is plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, the folder/exclamation point, and the do not disconnect screen.
It doesn't matter what buttons you push, it simply does one of the two things above.
All forms of resetting I've read from the troubleshooting pages have not allowed my computer to read my iPod as far as I can see.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Okay. I have successfully restored and updated my iPod click wheel to 3.1.
However, when I begin to upload songs, the iPod freezes. The first time it was from an automatic update at about 270/400, and the second time was from a manual update at about 6/375.
Why is it locking up when files are being uploaded? The "do not disconnect" message stops flashing on the iPod screen and in iTunes it will say "Song 6/375" and never stop.

ITunes won't reconize iPod is connected

Okay, my computer realizes my iPod is connected. I can go into the iPod itself from My Computer, explore the folders, so on and so forth. But iTunes won't reconize it's connected. anybody know how to fix this? Another problem I'm having has to do with my iPod itself. All my iTunes store bought music skips about half way through each song. How do i fix this problem as well?

If you're using USB port 1.1 (as opposed to 2.0), it could have a slower transferring/recognizing/processing speed.
Have you tried the The Five R's? For more info, read here, and here.
If that doesn't help, I would now suggest assigning your iPod a different drive letter. Follow these instructions here:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet (eject and disconnect it now if it is already plugged in to your computer).
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
If your iPod isn't being recognized in the "Disk Management" view area, then try connecting your iPod in Disk Mode.

Computer won't detect iPod

Hi,
My computer won't detect my iPod when I plug it in. I open up iTunes and it won't show up in the list. It gets a picture of a sad ipod on it, and as it starts up it makes an odd clicking noise. I cannot get it into disk mode. I've tried all of the solutions at the apple support site and it simply won't work. I downloaded the iPod Updater software and I got it running but it couldn't detect my iPod for some reason. Ive switched the cable to different USB ports and my comp wont detect it. Also when I try and reset it, (after the clicking noise stops and it shuts off) there is an icon which looks like a battery with rough, jagged, or broken ends. What does this mean and what can I do?

Storage space full of "other", computer won't recognize iPod is plugged in

I just downloaded about 100 songs onto my 160 gigabyte iPod Video Classic, making my number of songs only about 1,300. My iPod says its storage now only has 1.9 mb left. I only have about 10 videos and no photos, but the "other" section of the storage content bar takes up a ton of space. It had none before. How do I remove the "other" from my iPod? Now my computer won't recognize any iPod when I plug it in, and I've tried multiple plugs.

Connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port, on the Computer itself and not a USB hub or those found on the Apple keyboard.
If iTunes launch, close it back.
If your iPod is found on your Desktop, then run DiskUtility, (if not then Reset the iPod while connected to the Mac)
Select you iPod
Click FirstAid Tab on the right window.
Press the Repair button.
After Repair finish, iTunes may launch and ask to Restore, this will delete all the data in your iPod.
if iTunes did not launch, just Reset iPod again while connected to your Mac.
Always don't use USB hub or the Keyboard USB port or else your problem will come back, as the power is insufficient from these shared ports for iPod harddisk write process.
Good Luck!

Low batter screen when plugged in; Computer won't recognize iPod

My iPod stopped working two days ago. When I try to turn it on the screen stays blank. I've tried resetting it (holding down all buttons), and the screen remains blank.
When charging, the display flashes on to the "charging, low battery" screen, then goes back to black.
I've left it to charge for 24 hours, and I get no response.
My computer (and iTunes) won't recognize it when plugged in. I've tried manual searches, USB function scans, checked my cords, re-installed iTunes, and still nothing happens.
Once iTunes did recognize the iPod, and said it "detected a device in recovery mode". I let it go on, but when the recovery pack was done downloading I got an eror #1602 pop-up telling me the device could not be detected.
Is this a battery issue? Can I fix my device, or is it a lost cause?
Thank you for your time.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
