Hey
Alright, so this is a problem that's really bugging me. I just bought a 5th generation Ipod off ebay, and it started off working fine, but now it's stuck! This is the first day that i've had it, so i hadn't really got to use it, but the different menus came up, it seemed fine.
So, i had been charging it over night, and i woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check on it. I went to my computer and i moved the click wheel, but the light didn't come on, so i unplugged it and took it to a light source. It had been charging, and didn't appear as plugged in on the computer, so it shouldn't have hurt it to unplug it. When i got it over to the light it suddenly came on after i had tried enroute without success. It appeared fine, still not fully charged, so i tried to turn it off and take it back over to the computer, but it didn't turn off, and appeared slow in other things like volume control.
When i plugged it into the computer is where things really messed up. The entire computer just slowed down, i couldn't bring itunes up and process manager had services.exe at 80% with the other 20% on ipodservice.exe. So i restarted the computer with the ipod still plugged in, but it wouldn't start up with the ipod in so i unplugged it.
That brings me to now. The ipod still has the do not disconnect screen up after i disconnected it, the computer obviously started up. Whenever i plug it in the "removable disk" only appears for a second in my computer and doesn't show up in itunes at all. I've tried reseting it by holding the middle button and menu, but it jsut stays on the do not disconnect screen. Also, for some reason services.exe and ipodservice.exe are now taking up 100% again after the computer's been on for 30mins.
I don't know what to do, everyone elses problems always fix with the reset, or the ipod still works with the computer for them to do more. Mine doesn't. Any ideas?
