160gb classic just stopped working

hey. i was out ahopping saturday morning listeing to my ipod in my car, it was playing a song and just stopped half way through. i forwarded it on to the next song but nothing happend. when i parked up i took my ipod out of the docking station and the screen was just black. i tried turning it on and nothing happened. when i got home i put it on charge just in case but that didn't make a difference. i went on the apple site and did the trouble shooting that it suggested but still nothing. its not being recognised by my computer or my sisters. my ipod is 3 years old.
is there anything else i can try or do i just give up.

If you've preformed all troubleshooting steps, such as full restarts, charging, etc, and you can't get the iPod to be recognized by any computer, and it's 3 years old (assuming out of warranty), there is probably nothing you can do.

  • Classic just stopped working?!

    Hey guys, i mainly only use os 9 classic for my canon scanner & recently classic has just stopped working. whenever i try to start it, it just sits there in the loading screen, ive left it for a long time & nada. also the other ***** is that canon hasnt made any os x software for this particular scanner, just drivers. ive tried reinstalling that driver & of course hasnt made a difference
    any ideas of what to do? is there a way of reinstalling classic? would that solve it?
    thanks ahead of time
    dale-

    thanks again charles. i tried to repair the disk, but
    everytime i would verify the disk it would find a
    problem (it wouldnt tell me what), but it wouldnt
    allow me to repair, it was fogged. i tried restarting
    with the install disk & still couldnt find anything.
    This sounds as though you have a serious directory problem. If you don't have Disk Warrior, or if DW can't fix the problem, then I'd back everything up. If necessary, buy an external hard drive and get hold of Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. Either CCC or SD! will make a complete backup of your system to another volume.
    Once you've made the backup, reformat the original volume and restore the backup to it.
    so i checked on the apple help site for fixing
    classic & all i did to fix classic was reselecting
    the system i wanted to start up my computer in the
    startup disk menu in system pref. now it works,
    messed up.
    'Messed up', how?
    also i ended up calling apple on getting my computer
    to repair my disc & the woman on there told me that
    software isnt included in the one year warranty, ***?
    Apple has never included software in their one year warranty.
    how is hardware which costs money to replace is
    covered, but software isnt? it doesnt cost anything &
    they should be just as resposible for software as
    they are hardware. sorry for the little rant, its
    just crazyness
    No-body warrants software.
    so thanks again charles
    no problem.

  • My  ipod classic just stopped working.  Will not turn on, will not do anything.  Black screen.  It is still under warranty.  What do I do to get it fixed or replaced?

    My ipod classis just stopped working.  It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

    If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service. 
    iPod won't turn on
    If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage.  If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

  • 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.

    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.)

  • Help my classic 160 ipod just stopped working

    my ipod classic has just stopped working. Wont connect to anything. dead as a dodo. help

    thanks a million think that might have worked. I did it and seemed like nothing happen so before a threw it against the wall, lol, i plugged it into the computer via usb and it started to charge.
    Now this leads me to another issue i have had before, that is itunes not recognizing my ipod when it is plugged in. That is what is happening now, and this has happen before. The solution i have had before was to shut down MAC and restart, which is very annoying when trying to add a pod-cast to ipod and leave the house. Any thoughts???
    thanks again!

  • 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 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.

  • CS6 just stopped working last night.

    PS CS6 Extended  just stopped working over night and so has my version of CS5.1. I have a trial of CS6 Master Suite going and they are all dead too, and no the trial isn't over.I don't even get a flash screen.  Actually I got bridge to open and it asked me to install ACR6.7??? I have  LR 3&4, Element/Premiere 10 and they are fine. I have wiped my MAC twice with the CS cleaner and have spent the entire day on chat help and the phone. Nothing is working, any ideas?
