  • Ipod 4th gen does not play music from list automatically. just plays one and repeats it.

    ipod 4th gen does not play from list automatically. it just plays one at a time and then repeats it until i select another.
    how do i set it to play all on playlist?

    On the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar is the repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white for no repeat.

  • Ipod 4th gen does not power up

    My ipod 4th generation does not power up.  I charged 1 hour on computer and another hour via power outlet and reset the device by simultaneously pressing the sleep/wake button on top and the wheel in the lower front.  Nothing.  What do I do next?  I am looking at self-help replacing the battery, logic board or hard drive but do not know how to tell which one it is. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    I have no idea of how to troubleshoot what is wrong/what to fix.  There is no harder drive in the iPod Just flash memory soldered to the logic board

  • Ipod (4th Gen) does not charge, turn on, cannot be detected by computer, does not respond to any stimulation of any combination of buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    I have had my Ipod Nano (4th Generation) for about 3 years and it has worked relativley well throughout. However recently I used it until it ran out o charge completely and asked to connect to charger. I took it home that evening and plugged it into my mains charger and there was no response, so I tried plugging it into my computer (it has the lastest version of iTunes) and it did not pick up the ipod at all. I have left it on charge multiple times since that and still no response. I have been through the troubleshooting guide and that has been of no help because if i hold down either the menu + centre buttons or Centre + play etc there is no response whatsoever. Is there any way that I can fix this problem or should i just either sell it or buy a new one.
    Cheers,

    i had the same thing happen to mine.  figured it was shot - but i found the ops manual online and read about 're-setting' it.  it involved holding down the left & right <<&>> buttons, with yoiur thumbnails, while the ipod lays on a hard surface.  i had to go thru the steps a couple or 3 times, but it did finally work perfectly and has been working fine for months since!  good luck -

  • HT1296 Music I purchase is not now syncing to my ipod, 2nd gen.  What could have happened?

    The music I purchase no longer syncs to my nanopod 2nd gen.  Audiobooks sync w/o a problem.
    What could've happened.    Thank you.

    There are no error messages.  Yes, it is checked to sync to my ipod.  When I switched to Safari from Firefox, and plugged and unplugged and got in and out of itunes/my music, the music finally syncs to my ipod.
    This has been so time consuming, but that is how I get the music to sync, but again I say, I've had no problems syncing audiobooks.  Thanks for your reply.  Mary Ann

  • My ipod (4th Gen)does not detect my home wifi.

    i need to be right next to the box to get wifi. signal low once im about ten feet away. My brothers iphone still connect from a distance though. My ipod is pretty banged up and has been dropped pletty of times but i dont think that would effect it in that way, right?

    If this happens with all networks then that indicates a loose antenna connection,

    Why is the FaceTime ring so low on the iPad 4th gen? I could barely hear it when it rings.  I tell my friends to text me first so I wii know

    Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
    If so, don't.  While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
    iCloud
    FaceTime
    Messages
    Use a unique personal Apple ID.  Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that.  The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages.  Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

  • My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

    my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

    Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.
