hi my friend's ipod will not restore since his ipod crashed, he decided to restore it, it says that the ipod has been restored but nothing has happened and is stuck in a continuous loop. Can someone please help me with a fix or something asap thanks.
ok what gen ipod, i have encounter this on my 5 gen when installing a hacked firmware for the wrong gen ipod, i was stock in the continues boot cicle i set the ipod to disc mode restore it on itunes with new firmware and it worked, never the less i re-installed the classic hack to give the old ipod the new classic look, and it work great with the correct firmware.
yea mine is 5.5 gen as well and this problem i encounter when i try to install the ipod classic hack for the 5 gen, what you do is set the ipod to recovery mode, hold the menu and center until the ipod shuts down and immediately release menu and hold the play and center until you see a check on your screen, the ipod is now on recovery mode, you can connected to the pc with itunes running, and click restore, Try that. Good Luck.
I had a problem where my 80GB iPod Classic just completely froze. I couldn't do anything with it, even turn it off! So I just let it sit there for a few hours until the battery was dead then I full charged it now it works fine.
So maybe try that, just kill the battery then charge it up and see where it gets you.
thats not the problem the problem is the ipod needs to restore so its got the firmare on it but its stuck in a restore cycle where it says that is have been restored but it hasnt.
