My iPod 60gb Video is frozen at the apple logo startup....?

Question

...I've tried everything what to do now??????
I've had my iPod for about 2 years. It was working perfectly, but all of a sudden it froze. I try resetting it and no luck. I went into disk mode and connected to PC to restore and I get the "an error with the restore process has occurred" message and no luck. I ran the system check through the ipod (left + middle button at the same time) and everything seems fine. I tried going in through my PC's / my computer folder to manually delete or format iPod and nothing happens. What can I do now?? Is my iPod dead forever? I HATE APPLE!!!! What it the cheapest and fastest solution? THANKS

Like you, I also have experienced issues with 5G 60GB and 30GB iPods and compounding the issue by trying to use iTunes to fix it is just as bad as asking a hooker where the nearest church is.



Apple used to make and update but still publishes something called "iPod Updater" and it can be used to reload it w/o using iTunes.

The iPod Wizard site also has the entire history of these iPod Updaters at:

And the latest version which I recall is going to be more recent then the one I listed from apple is at:

I once had a 30GB 5G so bunged up, I had to find the first version of the OS with all the bugs just to make it responsive again, then had to update the software and hold my breath.



then I sold it as used on Amazon and found a buyer in less than an hour and for market price.



then just bought a cheap HP/Compaq iPaq and loaded the songs onto the SD card, you can get 16GB SD cards for lower cost and just copy your songs onto those and spread them out on multiple cards if you have too, iPaq's have headphone jacks and also tingeee little speakers and they don't freeze up as often and are easier to fix and find answers to issues than trying to figure out how to move a clickwheel and press an arrow button just to access hidden menus that never fix the problem.



Best of luck.

i'm not precisely particular the thank you to scientific care this difficulty, besides the shown fact that it replaced into likely led to with the help of wrong use. once you eliminate the ipod from the pc, it is needed press the button on your pc that tells you that it is totally properly to eliminate the Ipod. i'm uncertain of what else may be the subject, besides the shown fact that evidently like the Ipod would have additionally been defective. in case you probably did not do something to it, then taking decrease back to the apple save could be no difficulty, because it could have been a producer illness.
