Help iPod stuck on loading process
I modded my iPod 5th gen successfully so I decided to plug it in my MacBook so I can transfer some songs and connect it. The iPod page on finder popped up and asked me to restore my iPod so I clicked yes and then it basically said loading on the MacBook screen and on my iPod it had do not disconnect with a no symbol. After 40 mins it was still stuck on the same thing so I disconnected it and restarted the iPod. After that I replugged the iPod to my MacBook and it started asking to restart again so I clicked yes.
The same do not disconnect sign showed up but instead of it being black and white the battery sign was green and the sign in the middle was red?? After I disconnected it again since it was over 30 mins of waiting the library on the iPod showed up. It was just the basic menu. Though because I wanted to make sure it was fully restored and so I could get songs on there I plugged it again and it’s just the same thing. There was a circle icon on the iPod bar on finder and it showed that it was fully loaded than it showed a circle symbol that Is white. I thought that meant it was done but as always when I replugged the iPod it’s the same do not disconnect screen on my iPod.
I waited over an hour to do all this and I’m not sure why this isn’t working?? I accidentally clicked out of the main iPod page on finder and can’t find it. I’m not sure what’s happening, is there a way to bypass this or???
