  • 5th Gen ipod won't turn on

    My ipod will not turn on, nor be recogized by my mac.
    I have tried restarting the ipod, plugging it in to my computer, plugign it into the wall, and nothing happens.
    And yes, the hold switch is off
    I don't want to to send it away, so please let me know of any other options (not includding the 5R's, as they don't work either)

    you did a reset?
    do a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the middle button and the menu button AT THE SAME TIME for 10 seconds.. this may take a few trys and it works best if hooked to power..

  • My 32GB 5th gen iPod won't sync

    My 32GB 5th gen iPod won't sync. There is still over 10 GB free and my itunes is only 17 GB yet it won't let me sync anything. Can anyone help?

    My ipod 32gb 5th gen will not sync to itunes or any mac computer. An error message appears saying that my ipod touch requires itunes ver10.7. Does anyone know how to get this on my ipod touch 5? I cannot find it, does it need to be installed onto my ipod from a computer?

  • IPod won't turn off when plugged into computer! PLZ HLP!

    I have an iPod touch 2g, and now whenever I connect it to iTunes, it won't turn off. It will just turn itself back on.

    If you are unable to give specifics about the problem or what you need to do, it's going to be rather hard to give you recommendations or alternate suggestions.
    As I said, if I recall correctly, the iPod will stay on if it's being charged. But, in case I'm misremembering, are you holding down the button until you see the red arrow that says "Slide to power off"? Have you tried restoring it?

  • HELP!!  IPOD WON'T TURN OFF

    No matter what I do. It's stuck! It won't turn off. Right now it's unplugged from the computer & won't turn off. The battery will run down completely now.
    I also had trouble with my computer recognizing the iPod after I installed the iTunes & software & imported a CD into iTunes library.
    HELP!!

    you might try putting it to sleep. go to the main menu and choose settings, and then look around there for "sleep" it doesn't shou up on the main menu by default. select sleep and turn it from "off" to "on" then go back to the main menu and select sleep (press center button) and it should turn off.

  • Charged indicator seems to be stuck, ipod won't turn off!!! help

    I took my ipod running last week and it got a little damp in my trousers!!
    Since then it will not turn off anymore. I have let the battery die down. I have reset it on the ipod and on itunes, but nothing seems to help.
    It just won't turn off, the charged sign (large battery with a plug in it) shows all the time.
    If I leave if as it is over night, the battery is then dead.
    Can anybody help me.
    It's an ipod nano 1gen. not even 6 months old.

    If it got wet, set it in a cool, dry place and leave it there for at least a week. Then connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes, then Reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for at least 6 seconds). If it comes to life, connect it to your computer, Restore it in itunes, then let it fully charge.

  • 5th gen iPod won't show iTunes U

    using an iTune 10 (latest update), and synching with the 5th gen iPod. The synch goes well and when connected to the iTunes i can see the iTunes U on the list but when I disconnect and I can't find iTunes U on the iPod lists and menus... I read in a related post (about 5th gen iPod nano) a reply asking if the guy had set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype. What does it mean and how do I do that?

    Have you set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype?

  • My iPod won't turn OFF, this is the third time its happened.

    For the third time, my iPod won't shut off. The last time this happened, I loaded the latest firmware. It has been ok for about three months.
    Now it won't shut off again. It appears to be a software issue.
    Has anyone else had this happen?

    yeah same with me, and its 2 days old too. i didn't get a chance to try resetting it, though, it just worked after a while.
    bloody annoying though, it shouldn't be breaking already
    i'm really happy i got the chance to say bloody annoying though, i hope it's appreciated

  • My 3rd gen ipod touch keeps turning off

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch keeps turning off. I put it on charge until full, but when I switch it on it turns off after a few minutes.
    Is this a hardware problem or a faulty battery?

    Save your time and frustration. Return to Apple for an exchange product.

  • TS1425 my ipod won't turn off. I can still play/pause, but cannot turn it off

    My ipod will not turn off. It still responds to the play/pause, but will not turn off

    There is no way to actually turn the iPod off. Holding the Play/Pause button actually just puts the iPod to sleep.  And after so many hours from that point, it goes into a deeper sleep thus conserving battery life.

  • My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

    I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
    Thanks

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Try another charging source

  • 5th generation video ipod won't turn OFF

    Everything else seems to work fine but I can't turn mine off. I tried to reset it but it won't reset either. All of the buttons work fine otherwise...even the pause/select button works.....unless I want to turn it off. Any ideas?

    Pause the ipod, then let it sit. it should "turn off". however the ipod NEVER turnes off just sleeps. it will go in to a deep sleep after a few hours. just let it sit. also download the newest updater. 2006-10-01 try that out

  • 5th gen ipod won't connect to usb 3, is there a fix?

    I have an ipod video (5th gen), and it won't connect to my new asus laptop since it only has usb 3 ports (I don't care if it will charge or not, I have a dock), my question is whether it could potentially connect to my computer so I could sync it if I use a usb 2 hub or something similar. My ipod recently formatted itself when it forced a reset, so I have to get my music all back. Anyone know a fix to it? Thanks for any help you guys can give me, really driving me crazy not having music to listen to when I'm out...

    You did install the latest version of iTunes on your new computer, correct?  Installing iTunes is how the software needed for iPods to be recognized as iPod gets installed.  Otherwise, Windows sees it as a generic device.
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If the iPod is recognized by Windows, but not iTunes, you should go through this trouble-shooting document.
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes - Apple Support
    FYI - My 3rd gen iPod from 2003 works fine with the latest iTunes; there's no such thing as an iPod that is too old. 

  • 5th Gen ipod won't sync a video podcast

    I have a 80GB iPod, only a month and a half old, 5th Gen.
    Thing is, I downloaded 5 video podcasts today, all from the same author.
    One of these podcasts WILL sync onto my iPod, however the other four won't, saying that the video format isn't supported, when all five videos have the same format and type.
    I have tried everything from renaming them to converting them and still nothing works.
    Can anyone please help? :]

    I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.
