When your iPod keeps displaying the "Updating Library" screen

I have a 8Gb iPod Touch and I synced a couple songs on it last night. But when I tried to listen to the songs, my iPod displayed "Updating Library" screen then it exits out of the music completely. This happens after I charged it and updated my iTunes. It's been an hour and its still saying "Updating iTunes Library". Help! What can I do to fix this problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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.

My 3rd gen iTouch is stuck on the "updating library" screen - I can't listen to any music and it's been like this for almost 24 hours. I only added about 200 songs, please help.

So I added about 200 songs to my iTocuh yesterday, and it has been stuck on the "updating library" screen under Music ever since then. I did add the music in stages - as in, I added some songs, then got some more and plugged the iPod in again (maybe this has something to do with it). I would restore the iPod, but I have music on it that is not on my Macbook and I don't want to lose that music. Help please!

Correction: I plugged my iPod back into my mac, it backed up/updated etc. and now when I go to my music, it returns me to the home screen. What is going on!?

New iPod keeps displaying the folder and "!"

Hi. Yesterday was my birthday, and I got a new iPod nano, 2GB. After some trouble, I finally got Windows and iTunes to recognize the iPod, and all that good stuff. Now, the problem is that when I try to actually do something with it, it keeps displaying a folder with an exclamation point by it, with the website "www.apple.com/support/ipod" and I can't do anything else with it. I don't understand what it's trying to say... Did I miss a step or is it just not done charging, or something else?

Okay... so, scatch that last question. I fixed that by installing the new updater.
But now I'm back to where I was last night.
The "Do Not Disconnect" screen won't go away, and the iPod isn't showing up as being connected with iTunes.

When I try to apply the update a screen pops up which continuously scrolls "connecting to server"; it never gets out. (Firefox Yahoo 1.8)

I clicked on Help about Firefox. It immediately displays Firefox Yahoo edition 1.8 and begins downloading a 2.8mb file and then displays an update button.
When you click on the update button another window opens up which says "we strongly recommend applying the update as soon as possible" It displays a "back", "next" and "cancel" button.
When I click on the "next" button it begins displaying "connecting to server" with bars scrolling across the screen. The problem is that it just sits there doing the scrolling and never finishes anything.

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes.

If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

My iPod Touch keeps displaying the message 'This accessory not supported by iPod touch.' When I've used it w/this device multiple times, it's happening more and more frequently now. Anyway to dismiss this message for good? Because the iPod still plays .

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

Copy the media from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer.

I stored all songs on ipod...updated my OS. I completely wiped out the old microsoft windows and installed windows XP. (I know, bout time.) Besides that I have read that I cannot restore music from my ipod as it is only one way.
Is there a work around? I have the shuffle (1G). Thanks.

OK will these work for me also???
If the songs are in your iPods library there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

You can also transfer song files (or any type of file for that matter) between computers by using the iPod as a removable drive: Using your iPod as a storage drive

My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

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)
