[Tehkniib]

Im fucking pissed, i downloaded a piece of shit update and it took off all my songs, they were still on the itunes playlist, but not on the ipod itself, so it told me if i had problems i could get rid of the update, but it didnt fucking tell me it would revert it to factory made, now the songs arent even on the fucking playlist, this shit pisses me the fuck off

[angeloflove37]

i love you..<3333 you're my savior!!!!

[WhiteLies671]

wat if my ipod still skips, fast forwards, pauses, or rewinds songs still after doing this? i restored my computer as well nd its still doin it, wat do i do?

[Jamxkniife]

[xLoveLGx]

@Jamxkniife Well if you dont know how to do it :)

[The96jaime]

[koryutt]

thanks it stopped my fucking sister from crying

[TheKnightWise]

Simple and straightforward steps. It has been useful for me...Thanks for sharing!

[LilRob432]

mine doesnt do anything when i hold the center button and hld the play/pause button...screen just goes black and goes to the menu screen...:O

[Nebreakfast]

@LilRob432 same here...

[Oli4drums]

@LilRob432 You sort of need to get the timing right. Make sure that you hold down the center button and the play/pause button as soon as you see the apple logo. It's probably a bit late for this as you posted your comment a month ago but yeah. It's just about timing, give it a few shots.

[thebryanexperience]

@mrbluejay20 an emergency? get a life...

[AdrianLaderas]

hey man, i really need your help. my ipod's working very well and i never had problems with the albumarts on the now playing screen. however, i noticed that whenever i use the coverflow, the albumarts are interchanged. it all started when i used imesh as an alternative for itunes. can you help me fix my ipod without restoring? i've never seen anyone having this case before...

[ForeverOzu]

WOOOOOOOOOO SAVED MY IPOD! LOVE U <3 :D!

[TheSarahdacosta]

omg when I press the center button and play pause button it just goes to the menu HELPPPP
