  • 30 gig ipod turns off during shuffle

    My 30 gig ipod has been shutting off whenever I shuffle songs (usually after 4-5 songs). What the heck is wrong with it? I notice it happens alot less when I turn off the EQ. It seemed fine before I updated to Itunes 7 .

  • Ipod turned off mid song - blank screen and wont restart

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano - used quite regularly but it has not sustained any known damages (not been in contact with water - not been dropped). I updated my ipod today - bought 9 songs and they synced in no problems. I was listening to the ipod in a doc for about an hour and then during one song the ipod suddenly cut out mid song and I cannot get it going again since.
    The ipod has a fully blank screen - totally black.
    I have gone through the steps via ipod - pressing inner circle and menue keys at same time. I have connected the ipod to the computer. I have re-started my computer - nothing...still blank black screen.
    I tried contacting tech support via apple but it won't recognise my serial number! Its an authentic ipod - bought in an electronic shop.
    The serial number is on both the origonal packaging and the ipod - but is not recognised by apple.
    I am so upset - don't know where to go from here! I have years worth of music on this ipod which I am very worried about losing..and cannot really afford to dish out for a new nano right now.
    Any suggestions for me?

  • 3 day old frozen  5th gen 80 gig ipod

    i really need help--had unit 3 days and everything worked great until now--regardless of what selection chosen from menu screen, always goes back to song playing and will continue playing song after song--i tried to both reset and restore many times and still get the same results--just wants to start playing music wherever it left off
    HELP

    First step is to do a reset on the iPod. Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 10-15 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo. If no logo, repeat it again or a third time to get it to go.
    Now check and see if it still does that.
    If so, you may need to do a Restore on it (done through iTunes).

  • Video ipod turning off during play

    I have been having a problem when I am playing music, using my headset, the music will turn to pause. this ishappening very frequently. Although, it doesnt occur when I have it docked and am playing it?? help anyone??

    Make sure your scroll wheel is clean and is not being pressed... test it by locking hold and then seeing if you still have the same problem. If it still persists, do a reset. If you still have your problem do a restore.

  • 5th gen i-pod wont turn off URGENT please reply, REALLY WORRIED

    nothing weird happened to it, just went funny on me. will sync with computer (windows xp) however it sounds like theres some whirring noises inside it. it is playing music. I have spent a lot of time building a library through borrowing from other people and I would be devastated to lose all my music. please please help me through this SOMEONE. I am a complete dunce when it comes to computers so try to be patient.

    The latest versions of itunes have not been very stable, so I would not suggest playing music while loading into itunes. If you are not very computer literate, the best way to back up your music is to buy an external drive. They are not very expensive, less than $100 for let's say 150 gigs. I have 16,000 songs in my library and still have about 50 gigs left, so you will have plenty of room for expansion, in the future. Once you do this, all you need to do is connect the drive to your computer. Open up that drive into a half window (top right hand of screen,middle button of _ ()X . Then open the place where all of your music file are, normally the C drive, my computer, my music, and drag the entire content to your external drive. You now have a copy of all of your music. If you do not go this route, it means making a cd copy of all of your music, which you will have to re-load if you lose all of your file (as when a computer crashes). This involves doing everything again. If you have all of your files in an external drive, all you have to do is ask itunes to organize all of your music (in preferences), and the work is all done for you. Depending on which way you go, I am sure that once you do this, it you can ask, and someone will provide a step by step process, or you can ask me when you get to that point.

  • How much text can be displayed at one time on a 5th gen 60 gig ipod

    I am going on a trip soon and have 2 text files that i am going to put in the Notes section on my ipod. Before editing those files are 64k and around 250k.
    Which ones will fit? And what is the max size the ipod can bring up at one time?

    Both notes will fit, but only the first 4000 characters of each will be displayed; you can split the files at this site.

  • I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. I reset my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do i do???

    I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. i rest my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
