Why do I have to keep resetting my iPod classic 80gb?

Hi all
I received my black iPod classic 80GB yesterday (replacing one I had stolen, which until that point I had absolutely no problems with).
I am manually updating this iPod, so am importing albums to my MacBook iTunes and then connecting my iPod, adding the music, and ejecting then disconnecting my iPod.
If I then leave it for between half an hour / an hour (while importing another artist), the iPod does not respond to any key touches. I have to reset it before there is any life in it. Also, when I pressed play this morning to see if it was still happening, the first thing it did was show the Apple logo (as if it had just reset itself without my toggling hold or pressing down menu and centre for 6 seconds).
Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help. This is very annoying!
Chris

Hi Patrick,
I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

Hello jdebie,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV! I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

I have had to reset my iPod Classic 160gb but each time I connect to my itunes it keeps saying it is in recovery and should be restored. When I restore it, it just tells me I need to restore it again. Can anyone help?

I have a Sonos system with an ipod dock and was experiencing problems when using my ipod. The people at Sonos suggested resetting my ipod, so I did. Now, unfortunatey, my ipod isn't working properly. When I connected it to my itunes it said that it was in recovery mode and should be restored. I restored it and a message said it would appear in my itunes. But it just keeps saying that it needs to be restored. I've tried removing my itunes software and reloading it again but nothing changed.

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.

Why do I have to regularly reset my iPod?

I recently upgraded to the 5th gen. 30GB iPod with video. I am noticing that I have to reset my iPod quite regularly, sometimes daily. I happens at the beginning of the day when I go to turn it on after it has been off all night. Is this normal? Is it a sign of something possibly being wrong with it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry but I don't have much
experience with that one. I had it happen once with
my year+ old 30GB iPod and never with my (since
February) 80GB. The one I get a lot on the 80GB is
the semi lockup where everything on the iPod works
except actually playing music. Screen shows playing
but the song doesn't actually advance. I have had to
reset a lot for that one, but not for your
condition.
By the way, when you turn it on in the morning, how
are you doing it? Normally, at least in my case, I
switch the hold slide to OFF then hit the menu button
to wake up the iPod which normally starts up with the
Apple logo. Are you doing that or something different
or expect different results?
Patrick
Normally, I would just hold down the play/pause button and it would turn on (that's how it worked with my 20g 4th gen that I have) even if it was off all night. With my 30g 5th gen, I have to hold the center button and menu button to get the Apple logo to appear and wait maybe 30 seconds for the menu to appear. I haven't tried the lock button and menu button as you described, but I will next time and see if that works. Thanks.

HT204053 Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

It seems that everyday I am being asked to reset my password. My husband uses it for his computer and his iPad. But he'll enter it correctly, and then the next day, his computer or iPad will ask him to enter the information and then it won't work.
Why does this keep happening?
Thanks.

Why do I have to keep Resetting Network Settings

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help. Every time I need to access emails when I'm out this iPhone fails me. Today, I tried to access an email from a client which consisted of 2 words "That's fine". The wheel thing spun round, and round, and round, and round.... 6 minutes later it displayed "this has not been downloaded from the server".
I tried in vain to re-load but nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to "reset network settings".
This then means that my wifi settings at home now need re-inputting, as do the wi-fi settings at 3 of my other workplaces.
If I could, I would swap this for a Samsung or something. It's a constant source of frustration and embarrassment ( when I'm with clients)
I've had the **** thing replaced at the Apple store and I have phoned my mobile supplier t-mobile/EE ( don't get me started on them...) about 20 times and no-one can make this problem go away. I hate this iPhone.
Can anyone here help me?
Many thanks
Granger

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why do I have to keep resetting my router every time I ant to print wirelessly?

Hi

Thanks

Hello Sarah,
I saw your post about having to reset your router each time you print, or else the printer is not being seen on your network. I can understand the frustration!
I will gladly help you find a troubleshooting guide for this issue, however, I would like to please ask for you to respond to me with which printer you are working with, so I can find the information for you.

Also, which operating system are you working with? Windows or Mac?
Hope to hear from you shortly.

Why do I have to keep resetting Mozilla to stop slowness and popups?

I have rest Mozilla several times lately, and things like unsolicited adobe flash update requests and betting sites keep popping up, plus the browser gets incredibly slow. Any ideas?

Did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer that you may not be aware of. First check your home page settings to make sure nothing was appended (if there is a | followed by another link, that tells Firefox to open another tab with that link):
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
Also check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software. A third party software could be modifying your Firefox preferences without your knowledge so hopefully scanning using one or two of these can eliminate any of the malicious files:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])

Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

Just two weeks ago I had to reset my password for unknown reasons. Tonight, I get on my desktop and my messages app is up and telling to put in my password. I entered my password and it told me it was incorrect. After checking my email, I found a message that said I changed my password; I had not changed my password. At that point I did change it. I then logged onto my iCloud on the desktop without a problem. Next, I go to my iPhone to change the password on it, and it won't accept it. What is the deal? This has happened at least several times just within the last six months. It's really getting old. Of course Apple support is useless because it is out of 30 days or whatever cheap help they give.

Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

Why do i have to keep authorizing my ipod on my computer?

So everytime that I plug in my ipod touch into the computer it is a third generation 8 gb and it always says that it is not authorized but when I authorize it the pop up says that it is not authorized. Another problem that I amhaving is when I had to restore my ipod it erases all the songs that I had purchased recently on my ipod and my photos and videos and all of my apps are deleted as well. I would hate to rebuy my songs becasue when I search my songs on itunes it can not find it also when I hit sync my apps do not get redownloaded and my songs dont either. The reason why I pluged my ipod into my computer so my brothers can download it becuase I bought it on my ipod. Thats when the pop up came and it said to authorize it so i do so and then another pop up appears and it says to authorize. its the same cylce over and over. I called apple to ask this question and they told my to come here and ask this so if someone can help thast would be great.
