30GB iPod Classic Buttons do not work

Hi guys,
My iPod classic buttons suddenly stopped working today (apart from when I do the reset with Menu + select which is odd).
I have tried to restore, format, reinstall itunes, reset multiple times but none of this works.
The iPod is now just stuck on the select language screen that you get to after restoration.
What do I do?

I saw that... And I said that if the Hold swtich is not ON, and you have already done a Restore, it is likely to be a hardware-related problem on the iPod. It sounds like the iPod is seeing that the Hold switch is ON, even when it is in the OFF position.

My IPOD classic headport is not working properly. The sound is going in and out?

My ipod classic headport is not working properly. The sound keeps going in and out. I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do a Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.

My ipod classics clicker will not work

my ipod classics clicker will not work so i can not turn it off or on i cant play music or anything please help

Have you checked the 'Hold' button at the top left of your Classic to make sure it didn't get bumped into the ON position?
If it's been moved to the right and you can see the red indicator, then 'Hold' has been switched on and none of the buttons on the iPod will work.
What happens if you plug your iPod into a charger or connect it to iTunes?

Hi, i have a ipod classic, it now wont turn on or do anything, i have charged it, toggled the HOLD button and tried all the suggested press and hold, but nothing. Ive tried conecting it to the computer via a USB cable again nothing, its not even showing on my Itunes account when thats turned on.
Any one got any ideas, TIM

Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life. By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?

IPod Classic Scroll Wheel not working

Hello-
My scroll wheel sometimes does not work, and sometimes is very jumpy (therefore hard to choose the track I want). Can the wheel be cleaned? Or is there any troubleshooting that can be done?

I bought a new iPod classic today, got it home loaded my music and then sat down to check out the new features. Right off the bat, :"what the **** is wrong with the scroll wheel". after trying to convince myself nothing was wrong i did a search and found out a lot of people are having the same problem. It takes at least a second for it to start responding, its jumpy, sluggish, difficult, all things i've never experienced from an ipod before. This would be my 3rd ipod, 2 died, i've probably used 15-20 others through friends and work, and I'm returning my ipod classic tomorrow, its a bummer, sounds like the 5th gen ones are better.

My Ipod menu button is not working!

80 G classic buttons will not work, how can I fix it?

My son's 80 gb ipod classic will hook into iTunes and even play songs. I have reset and restored it but it doesn't respond to any buttons. When I reset the screen gets dark, but it never restarts. I restored it twice and even left all the music off in case it was some weird corrupt file, but still no luck.
It is over a year old - is it worth taking to the Apple store?

Go to ifixit.com. Look up your model then check into replacing the keyboard. That's the best you can hope for, you're not going to fix the existing one.

IPod Video: Buttons do not work?

Hello -
Recently I picked up my iPod Video to find that I could not turn it on. I tried to flip the switch on top of the iPod from on and off, but nothing happened. I thought it might be out of batteries for some reason, so I charged it for a full night. The charging sign appeared on the iPod, so I thought my problem was solved. However, when I attempted to press any of the buttons or use the click wheel, nothing worked. I tried resetting, restarting, restoring, everything that I possibly could to get it to respond. I've had no luck yet. Anyone know what I can do to fix my iPod? Thanks.

The switch on top is the hold button. It locks the ipod. Make sure that it is not on ( the red is not showing).
With the red not showing, try turning it on.

Ipod classic right earbud not working

is there any way to fix this. i have regular apple earbuds and koss earbuds. my left earbud works but the right doesn't. when i insert the earbud half way the right earbud works but with distorted sound.

something similar just happened to me. one of my earbuds stopped playing. i think it's cause it got bent (?) in my pocket because i keep the cord wrapped around the case. but i thought that was a good thing? i think it crossed wires, but CLASSIC apple, makes em to small to try to fix em yourself.....although i prefer them being small....

TS2771 My iPod Touch Button is not working. It does not respond.

The home button of my iPod touch has stopped responding since i updated the iOS to version 5.1.1.
What do i do?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset, nothing is lost (if you can do this)
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod classic 5th gen not working

I get a big red "X" with it pointing to Apple's support web page for the ipod, as well as the appearance of the Apple logo. I tried going to the web page and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Help!

First, do a regular Reset, which restarts the iPod.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
If you get back to the same error screen, unfortunately, a common cause is a faulty hard drive. You can try putting it into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it to the computer and run iTunes. iTunes may say something about "recovery" and prompt you to do a Restore. If the cause was data corruption (not a physical hardware problem on the iPod), doing a Restore will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
