5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

  • Iphone 4 stopped working and won't charge or turn back on.

    I have had my IPhone 4 for about 5 months and today it stopped working.  It will not turn on and will not take a charge.  I assume that something has gone seriously wrong.  Has anyone had same issue?

    Finally, mine is working now! what I did is I hocked it to the charger and pressed the power button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds then it turned on and worked just fine!

  • HT202183 My power button on 6th gen nano stopped working.

    hello everybody.
    the power button on my 6th gen nano stopped working. everything else is ok but won't switch on unless plugged in to power. then its fine.
    I think the power button is broken/stuck.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    If so how did you fix it/ how much did it cost to fix?

    Take the iPod Nano into an Apple Store.  After the folks there examine it, they will quote you an estimate.  Or you can call them and ask.

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

    Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

  • 5th Generation Nano stopped working..

    My iPod, 5th Gen Nano will only work when either plugged into the wall or the computer, but as soon as it is unplugged, it won't work as if it is dead. Plus I have attempted to restore the product, several times, but nothing comes in return.
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is a good chance your iPod's battery is shot and is in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple replace it (for quite the price), have a third party repair company do it for much less, or you can actually replace it yourself if you feel up to it.
    There really isn't much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting this one.

  • My Ipad stopped working and won't turn back on.

    My ipad stopped working suddenly and won't turn back on. What can I do to turn it back on?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iMessages on my iPod 5th gen just stopped working

    On January 13, 2015 iMessages just stopped sending and receiving texts on my 5th generation iPod touch. I have re-installed, updated iOS and everything else I can think of to reset iMessages including signing out and signing back in. Still doesn't work. I'm at a loss.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

  • 5th Gen ipod stopped working , connected to Alpine CDA117

    Out of nowhere the ipod stopped working when hooked directly to the Alpine CDA117.
    It worked this morning when I pulled out of the driveway and drove to my shop . I did not unplug it when I arrived, it stayed in the car hooked up as it does often.
    When I got back in the car about 2 hours later it was not working . It recognizes the ipod , shows the song , playlist etc but no volume and it's not "playing" so it's sort of on "pause", but not showing that it really is "paused"
    Apple looked at it , thought there might be some dust on the contacts , cleaned it , tried it in the store and it worked fine both with earbuds and through speakers.
    It works in my wife's car via the same hookup.
    My wife's ipod works in my car hooked up just as mine would be .
    The guy at Best Buy who hooked it up , hooked his up and his worked fine.
    Firmware is up to date .
    I literally did nothing to it once I arrived and my shop and then got back in the car 2 hours later.
    Help me !
    I have a 3 hour ride up to the Berkshires on Saturday and will go bonkers without my music .

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • CS3 Has Stopped Working and Won't Reinstall - HELP I can't Work!

    Hi, I have CS3 running on a Windows Vista 32 bit PC with 4 gig of
    RAM, dual core processor. The other day I went to use Photoshop and got the
    message that the product had stopped working. This turned out to be the case
    with all of the apps. The solution dialog would not run from the
    window.  So I completely uninstalled, ran CS3 Clean Tool (all with virus
    software off) and have attempted three times to reinstall (from desktop), but it
    keeps coming back and telling me that Acrobat 8 installed successfully and
    Shared Components installed successfully, but for each of the other products it
    says "Component install failed". It also says that for Shared Components, even
    though it says they installed successfully.  It never askes for a product code
    or key.
    Since CS3 isnt current Adobe wont support.  Help, I need it for work and cant
    afford to upgrade!

    Arrowmaster,
    I think I can help you--I got help from Mylenium.  I have a Windows Vista 32 bit core duo and I have CS 3 Master Collection and it stopped, too.  I think the problem was a Windows Update that put things in the registry.  The clean tool and the uninstall from the control panel will not affect the registry.  I followed these exact instruction VERY carefully and I got a clean re-install and can work now.  Here is the adobe page I used--you need to find a time period of 8 or more hours to get this to work--last step is to update your software which in my case took several hours because it had been over a year since CS3 stopped for me.

    Good Luck - after 13 months of trying everything this solved it.
