Try:
- Reset 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or maybe this:
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 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.

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • IPod Touch dumps music library when I download content from mobile iTunes

    I have had this problem twice now, and both times when I'm away from home and can't get to my computer to sync up easily and fix the problem.
    - I am downloading podcasts from the mobile version of iTunes using the Touch's built in wifi
    - I open the "Music" app to listen to my tasty new podcasts
    - The splash screen that says iTunes is updating the library - this may take a few minutes - appears
    - soon, presta! I have none of my original music available, just the crappy single of the week I got for free from iTunes. I begin to hate this undiscovered band for seemingly poor reasons.
    now, every time I go back to my computer at home to sync it up, it restores the playlists and content I thought I had lost, so my best guess is that mobile iTunes is screwing with my iPod Touch's music library file, because for all I can tell the files still seem to be there. Just un-findable.
    I'm not jailbroken, and don't fancy it, unless someone thinks it might help me get my music and podcasts back before I can return home... a week is a long time to go without my stuff.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! thanks,
    Brock

    I have the same problem with mine, but i dont really pay attention to when ive bought songs of mobile itunes. Sometimes when i turn my ipod on its says updating library but then states no content, so i have to go to the computer to re-sync my songs. Ive looked all over but cant find any answers to stop this, have you had any luck yet?

  • Ipod says no music but when connected to computer shows music

    ipod says no music, but when hooked to mac shows music and playlists

    In the Mac iTunes, you may be looking at the iTunes library, click the iPod iCon in the device pane, and look at the summary page, it will tell you what is shown in the iPod.
    The Capacity  section will report Audio, and Other (which in your case may contain your music) due to filesystem coruuption.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why Mail on Mavericks keeps Writing changes to disc all the time?

    I have updated my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to Mavericks and now my IMAP Gmail account on Mail is having a huge endless "Writing changes to disc" on +/- sometimes with up to 50.000 messages, almost freezing my computer all the time! My Inbox, only has aprox 50 messages, I always move mesages to other folders!
    Everything just worked fine on Mountain Lion and now my Mac is very slow because of this. Only if I close Mail than I have my Mac back... but I need to work with Mail open, so thats not an option.

    I have the same problem.  Since installing Mavericks I have a major issue with Apple Mail drastically slowing my whole system down.  As others have mentioned, basically Mail takes over the computer and I find myself looking at spinning beach balls for minutes at a time.
    From watching the Mail "Activity Window" (accessible from the "Window" menu item), I have discovered that several times a day it starts "Writing changes to disk" (see screenshot) for no apparent reason (it's not as if I have shifted any mailboxes); and that's the time when everything comes to a shuddering halt.  It takes a long time, about half an hour or so, to rewrite 27,000 messages (or some other ginormous number, it varies) to disk, and during that time I'm held up.   This problem never arose with Mountain Lion. 
    Basically it seems to me that Mail has been messed up in Mavericks, and Apple needs to fix it.
    It was suggested to me by the Apple "Support Advisor" that the fault may lie with Gmail, due to some changes Google have made.  But that sounds like it's a cop-out and anyway it's no excuse.  Here are two of the biggest companies in the world who are constantly talking with each other about many things.  If it's true (unlikely) Apple should be able to communicate with Gmail and get it sorted.

  • Making whole music library available on all devices.

    I have Itunes with a iphone 5 and mini - all the music in my library is not readily available on all devices.  I have to download individual songs over the network or Wifi and have to wait until complete before I can play the song.  How do I download all song so that I can play any at any time.  I have to select individually and it is time consuming.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I use my nano when connected to the PC?

    When I'm connected to the PC my nano does not function.  Is this normal by design??

    No.  Need clarification of your problem.  Do you see your iPod Nano on your desktop and in iTunes?  Is this what you mean that it's not functioning?
    Which model/generation iPod Nano do you have?

  • ITunes library grayed out all the time- in between songs played. Must click on cloud icon and wait between each song played.

    Whenever I invoke iTunes (doesn't matter if I'm opening the program or simply undocking it), my library is gray, and the little "cloud icon" next to "Music" has a horizontal lightning bolt in it.
    If I click on the cloud icon with the bolt (which doesnt respond consistently, somtimes takes 3 or more clicks) it will change to animated diagonal stripes. When this is finished (takes 10 seconds to 10 minutes), I have access to my library.
    Sometimes it lets me get through an album before the process restarts. Sometimes I have to go through this between each song. Generally, I perform the process for the first two songs, and then it will play the rest of the album uninterrupted.
    Internet connection is always fine, I have confirmed in several instances.
    I have added screen shots below... I couldn't add the "working library" step, because as of writing this, I can't get past step 2. So no music for me this morning.
    BELOW: Greyed out library, step 1
    BELOW: Animated striped icon, library still greyed out, step 2

    Thanks for the reply. Did this just now, and no change.
    FYI- I have deauthorized and reauthorized, signed out of my iTunes account, deleted pLists, etc before posting here. None of which affected the problem.

  • IPod classic 80GB: TV out settings cleared all the time

    Hi,
    despite of the experiences others made, I succeeded in connecting my iPod to the TV. I'm currently using the Universal Dock with a S-Video connection.
    BUT: I have to tell the iPod everytime I place it into the dock to use the TV-out. Having done this, it works like a charm. But the next time, I plug it into the dock it's the same procedure. As it my first iPod with video capabilities I'm not sure how this worked for the 5th generation iPods.
    Any hints?

    Yes, I bought the dock so I could hook it up to my tv. Then I had to buy the cable, I didn't get the cable from Apple. at the time the cable was $50, I went to ebay & found the same cable for about $20. Just like you, I could not find an answer about why the dumb thing wouldn't work, so I just had do my own experiments. Good luck getting Apple to do anything. They don't seem to want to give anything away or replace merchandise.
    Take care!!
