    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

  • What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)

    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

  • What does it mean when my ipod wont turn on for 5th generation

    My iPod doesn't want to turn on. I will hold the power button but nothing happens. Earlier today before this was posted, my IPod was working fine. What does this mean?

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

  • HT201303 what does it mean when my ipod says to try again in 23,186,732 minutes

    I am so confused

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • What does it mean when my iPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on after factory reset?

    My iPod started having quirks and not playing my music.  Well it would say it was playing but it displayed the now playing as if it was plugged into a USB system on a car. So I factory reset it and now it only displays the apple logo and won't do anything else.

    Thats the same with me but mines a 4th gen. I reset to factory settings and it stays on the apple logo with a gray lined circle on it. Plz help! I should be taking it into apple within the next few days and hopefully that will help.

  • What does it mean when my Ipod Touch (3rd gen.) screen is black with a loading circle?

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch is currently broken, I'm not sure. The screen is black with a loading circle that has been loading since yesterday. The device won't shut off nor has it run out of battery yet. Any clues?

    have u tried restarting it yet? hold both home and power button for at least ten seconds... or it could be just in the process of shutting down (not going to sleep mode but actually turning off) and is taking a while to process everything???

    It means your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key.
    That should launch the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    If the startup disk does not appear, follow the instructions here >  A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • HT1551 what does it mean when I see a black screen with the Apple logo but it wont do anything but that.  I have re booted 4 times  same outcome.  Help!

    I just hooked up my Apple TV.  I see a black screen with Apple logo.  Nothing else happens.  Remote functions as I see the white light respond.  Have rebooted 4 times but same thing occurs.  What should I try.
    Thanks.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    When you press the eject button, iTunes checks to make sure if it has finished using the iPod. When it has finished (and if no other programme is using your iPod, such as anti-virus programmes) iTunes will confirm to you that it is then safe to disconnect the iPod (unplug the cable).
    If you unplug an iPod from your computer while iTunes or any other prgramme is using the iPod, it will probably corrupt the files and you may be unable to use some or all songs until you Restore the iPod.

  • What does it mean if my ipod charges only when its off

    ok my ipod charges only when its off , ex.i plug my charger in while its on but it doesnt charge at all, not even if i put it in the pc  usb ports.However wheni put the chargerr in the ipod and turn it off, then come back an hour later or so it is charged up.Anybody knows what does it mean when it does that.keep in mind the ipod doesnt charge whille its on.

    It means that when your ipad is running with your charger connected, it is using about as much electrical energy as your charger is supplying to your battery.  When your ipad is shut down there are no apps or programs running so all of the charger's output is devoted to recharging the battery.  Your ipod battery may be running down a bit because of age, or you could possibly have too many apps running at the same time.  Running gamming applications uses quite a bit of power.  I'm making the assumption that your charger is functioning properly.  Also, charging via the USB port on your computer is not as efficient as using your wall charger since the charging current provided by the computer usb port is a bit less than the wall charger.  If you use an iPad wall charger it will provide more charging current and therefor would be more effective.
