Nano just stopped working???

My ipod has just stopped working. I was listening to it this morning and there was more than enough charge in it. I go to turn it on now and nothing, checked to make sure it was not locked and still nothing. Connected it up to the computer and it doesn't even see it as and external device - it's just dead. I only purchased this ipod less than 60 days ago. I did have a weird thing happen about 2 weeks ago as well.......the music stopped and all the pictures were scrambled lines all the graphics on the ipod were gone. I did manage to reset and re sync with my computer that time, but I'm thinking maybe I got a lemon? How do I go about getting this issue resolved? Looking forward to anyones suggestions. BTW I did try to take it back to Walmart where I purchased it and they won't take it back after 10 days what a bunch of crap.

Just got this from some else's question about a dead ipod and this worked...Thanks glad I visited the site.
You may need to reset it. So first thing to try is...
Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few/several tries.
See this thread as an example of what I mean by needing to try it many times...

    Did the battery run out of power?  If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

  • Help, my iPod Nano just stopped working

    Help I've had my iPod nano 7th generation for about 6 months now.  It's always worked fine until one day after charging it, it will no longer turn on.  It does get hot when I try to charge it or reboot it (reboot using the home and on/off button together).  Can anyone please help?

    Hi AliPe!
    I have a website that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue. The website is an iPod troubleshooting assistant, and it can be found right here:
    Apple - Support - iPod nano - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant

    Just follow the troubleshooting steps suggested by that website and you should be on the right track. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

    try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
    If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
    If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

  • 4th gen. nano's buttons just stopped working

    I have a nearly new 4th generation ipod that just stopped working in certain respect. It charges, its recognized by the computer and syncs just fine.
    The only issue is, my buttons do not work. I keep it in extraordinary shape-and too be honest I'm a little furious that its committing suicide because i treat it so well.
    I've restored, reset and still no solution. Which by the way is a twist in the story- the buttons work in order to reset the ipod but do not work to actually use the **** thing.
    HELP

    my buttons work fine its just when I try to scroll it seems to stick or just not go as fast as it should, im ****** to. i want to know if this is fixable and covered in my warranty, which is about to expire.

  • Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

    Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

    This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

  • Can't open a dng or raw file in cs5, just stops working. So many problems in cs5!

    I totally feel for you. Just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and it was the  biggest mistake i ever made. It will probably end my livelihood as a  photographer since EVERY time i open a raw file it crashes photoshop,  makes it freeze up after i have adjuted the file in camera raw then I  hit open; i get a few bars then it just stops working.
    Even got  tech help, which helped when i was on the phone with them. The next day  the problem came back even when I danced the same jig that I did when I  had the guy on the phone - he had me move a raw file on to the desktop  rather than take open from my hard drive, then I was able to open it, so  we came to the conclusion that my drive was corrupt. I had the same  information backed up on a brand new hard drive so we compared files  from the each drive against the other. The files from the new drive  opened successfully. Yesterday. Now Photoshop cs5 doesn't open any raw  or dng files at all from anywhere so it can only be a problem with  photoshop. We thought we had the problem solved but we did not. This  never happened on CS4 unless i was trying to open 30 or more raw files,  and even then it gave me a warning that it had no more ram, it didn't  just lock up and do nothing. I'm at my wit's end. Even though there are a  lot of great new things in cs5, they aren't very useful if you can't  use the product to do the simplest thing.

    1) Install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update
    2) Install the latest ACR update.
    If problems continue after that, then there probably is something wrong with your system.

  • My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

    My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
    I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
    Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store? 

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

  • My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

  • My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

    Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
    So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

    Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
    While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

  • 2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
    The TC runs too hot..
    Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
    You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
    If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.
