Brand New 30g Video Ipod...dead right out of the box

So I take my new ipod out of the box and it wont turn on. I plug it up to the outlet charger and the screen lights up but says nothing and does nothing. It makes a little humming noise and gets very very hot also. Plugging it up to computer hasn't helped, it doesn't even light up with it. Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and Center buttons?
If that doesn't change anything, it sounds like you received a defective iPod.
You can 1) return it to the store or 2)fill out a service request here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

  • New 30g video iPod not fully accessible.

    Hi all,
    I looked around but couldn't find any replies specific enough for my sitch.
    I just got a brand new 30g video iPod last week. I tried to load it up this weekend using my 2002, 1ghz, 17" flat panel iMac (usb 1.0/firewire).
    I'm able to load playlists/music on my iPod (10.75 gigs so far) but I can't load videos. When I try, I get a message saying , more or less, that "the video can't be loaded on this iPod". Also, in iTunes, I only get tabs in the iPod section for:
    Summary
    Music
    Podcasts
    Contacts
    And, under summary it reads: n/a for Software Version and n/a for Serial Number. And it says - Format: Windows. Since it was brand new out of the box, I figured it would have configured itself to Mac automatically?????? And "Software Update" and "Restore" are grayed out and not useable.
    I thought all this might have something to do with using a usb 1.0 port on my iMac but I used a PC laptop with usb 2.0 and iTunes to check the iPod with and got these results:
    I got more tab choices for the iPod such as: Movies, Photos, etc. and it showed the Software Version and Serial Number of the iPod but when I tried loading a video, I still got the same message saying that the video couldn't be loaded on this iPod.....huh????
    Anybody know what's going on. I want to use the iPod to it's full capability and I want to use it mainly with my iMac because that is where I have all of my music and movies/videos (total of about 19 gigs worth of music and video). I'd rather not have to transfer all that to the PC.
    Do I need to use Disk Utility to erase the iPod? I just don't want to mess it up.
    Thankxx

    Hi, just to be clearer guy's:
    1. I'm not trying to upload movies from DVD's just digitized, downloaded videos.
    2. I am only using iTunes to manipulate the iPod, thought that was clear.. :/
    3. I tried the different video formats just to see if any at all would load.
    I'll try to restore on the PC laptop. I'm still confused as to why the box says "PC/Mac" but upon connecting it to my iMac right out of the box, it was Windows formatted???
    Oh well, let me give the PC restore a try. I'll let you all know.

  • Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

    Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

    Yes it should have 0.  I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles.  Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

  • Is the iPod video supposed to suck out of the box?

    I just purchased a brand new 30 GB iPod video and it's awful right out of the box. Everytime I start it up for some reason I get that Apple restart screen but nothing is restarted. When I click on a song under and album it takes 30 seconds to a minute for music to even start and when it does it's two or three songs later than what I actually clicked on. It's also incredibly slow switching songs and menus, especially songs.
    I heard the iPod videos can just be like this and many are. Is this true? If so, back to the drawing board, Apple.
    Also, is anyone else upset it doesnt support firewire?

    I read it now supports firewire but i don't believe it. Well I got a new a 30 Gig Video Ipod too and it works like a charm, you probaly got a defected model, it happens, and if you have a warranty get it replaced because even the limited warranty from apple will take it back if its defected (just don't say you dropped it even if you did).

  • Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

    Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?  Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

    Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
    Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

  • G580 can't backup right out of the box. Not enough space

    I recently aquired a G580 with the i5 processer, 500gb hard drive and  Win8. I see the lenovo center is telling me to do a backup and since I just set it all up the way I wanted I figured it's a good idea anyway. I follow the instructions and it automatically makes a path to the D drive. I click backup and it say's there isn't enough space?
    Seems my hard drive was partitioned from the factory with only a 25gb (24.9 to be exact) D drive. Now the only thing on the D drive is an applications folder with nortons and a driver folder with what looks to be backups of the OEM drivers. All this takes up 2gb of space. The backup is saying it needs 25.2 gb. So even without those files on the D drive I still wouldn't be able to make a backup.
    I am reading the partitioning thread but I'm lost really. Plus I don't really want to be messing with partitions on a brand new machine out of the box. It seems I might have too though. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Let me suggest a few things. I guess that will clarify few of the doubts.
    1. The factory default image is saved on the OEM partition (hidden). This can be used through One Key recovery for loading factory defaults.
    2. Refer to this link on creating a back up of factory default image. This can be used to get Windows back in case of hard drive failure or replacement. Applies to Ideapads also. Link
    3. The option of creating Backup using the One Key Recovery software is for the current system image and not the factory default image. Hence the size will vary from user to user and I guess the D drive will not be sufficient for this. Anyhow, as you mentioned, creating the backup on external drive makes more sense.
    Hope I was able to clarify few things.

  • Right out of the box...and it KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN!! Help!!

    I received my brand new iMac this afternoon and plugged it in. It was working fine for about two hours, now all of the sudden, the thing will not stop shutting down and powering up. It is almost as if I am jiggling power source on and off, like a flicker, and I am not even touching it. I tried troubleshooting with the cosmetic ring around the power connector - no dice, the computer keeps turning on and off like it's posessed. There is plenty of slack on the power cord so it's not being pulled. I am afraid plug the system in...all that shutting down and powering up can't be good for the system. What should I do?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If you have checked that the power plug is firmly seated and confirmed that it is, then the only thing to do is to call Apple or take it in.
    If there is a problem with the power supply or logic board, Apple should replace the entire unit. No new Mac fresh out of the box should require repairs.

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

  • Why during setup of mx922 I get a 6000 and a 6001 error message right out of the box

    I just purchased a MX922 and out of the box I get a 6000 error message why?

    I'm glad I was able to help.  I kind of wish mine hadn't worked because I ended up being one of the "lucky" individuals where my phone didn't restore from the backup and I lost all of my contacts, calendar appts, notes, etc.  It took me an extra 2 hrs last night to rebuild the next month worth of appts and try to rebuild my contact list from my yahoo contacts.  Oh well.  I will be getting an android at my next upgrade.  I'm tired of all of the BS that comes with owning an iPhone.

  • I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data right out of the box.

    I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data before I've even put anything on it.I appreciate the OS takes up about 1.5gb, but this is in addition to that. There is absolutely nothing on the iPod and I've already done a factory reset.
    The amount of yellow "other" data seems to go up and down if I click sync (although it is not syncing anything). There is no other data on the device. Is this normal?

    That is about right.  Normally it is about 1/2 GB.  If can grow because of corrupt files.  Then it is necessary to restore the iPod sometimes from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.  The other is made of ite items that do not fit the other categories listed.

  • MBP 15 inch i7 running APERTURE runs EXTREMEMLY SLOW right out of the box!!

    here's the gist of the situation.
    brand new 15inch i7 with 4 gigs of ram and high-res display and aperture pre-installed. The laptop is blazing fast UNTIL I open aperture.
    I only had safari with google and aperture open. Even with absolutely no pictures open, or projects, or RAW file conversions it brings this hercules of a laptop down to the speeds of an old windows 95 machine.
    I thought the problem was possibly the the new graphics switching, so i turned it off. It makes little to no difference.
    I seriously can't click on FILE without waiting 15 seconds before ANYTHING happens, and then I get a spinning rainbow curser for about 2 minutes! Then it finally opens the file menu...
    This is very upsetting considering I need use this software heavily in my work.
    Any suggestions????
    Much thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks a lot! what you said is partially true. right after posting this i realized that the removable hard drive I have plugged in is formatted for, and has been used on a windows xp machine up until now.
    beyond aperture running slowly, the entire computer was running slow if I clicked on anything more than once, if it didn't open the first time.
    The moment I unplugged the hard drive (which was synced to aperture) the computer began to run like the mac OS that I love.
    Thank you for your time!

  • LaserJet CP2025dn - Tray 1 Jammed - RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX

    I just bought a LaserJet CP2025dn. I followed the set-up instructions through Step 7, and when I powered up the printer, the screen said "Tray 1 jammed, clear jam then press OK" EVEN THOUGH THE THING HAS NEVER BEEN USED. i followed the instructions for clearing a jam, to no avail.
    This is not a very promising introduction to HP products. In fact I'm mad as you-know-what.
    Any suggestions on how to clear a built-jammed Tray 1 on a printer that has never been used?

    Hey Adam,
    Just follow the instructions I provided in your other topic regarding this. Rad is right, as I said in my instructions, it is VERY important to calibrate the battery. Also, the program called Maintenance that I told you to download that, you need to be sure to check the boxes for: Repair Permissions, Execute Maintenance Scripts, Optimize the system - Complete Optimization, ALL of the cleaning boxes, and ALL of the reset boxes except for Reset Spotlight. You should run this application at least once a month.
    Be sure you keep the MacBook box and all of the packaging in case you need to return or exchange it for any reason. Once you have done this, and the other things that I suggested in the other topic, have fun! I'm sure you will love verything about your new MacBook, and I'm sure you will also have a lot of questions. I think you know where to come to get those answered
    Hope this helps.

    Oh yeah, I'm a freshmen in High School so I will be around here for a while to answer all of your questions...

  • Damaged right out of the box

    Just opened the box containing my black MacBook.
    First thing I did was to turn the machine upside down and press the battery-life indicator button. All five buttons lit up (good!), but I was a bit turned off to see that one of the edges of the case where the battery rests was chewed up a bit, as though a tech had inserted a screwdriver and tried to pry the thing out!
    I called the shop where I bought the thing (Bic Camera, an authorized Apple dealer in Tokyo) and was told, sorry, they don't take back Apple products, and that I'd have to call AppleCare.
    So I thought to myself, well, what's a couple of minor knicks. The thing is going to get scratched eventually anyway. So I decided to live with it.
    That's when I noticed the lid...
    When closed, the lid doesn't line up evenly with the bottom half of the PowerBook. It's off by about an eighth of an inch on the left side and the left top edge. That is NOT acceptable.
    Just called AppleCare, talked to a polite AppleCare representative, and am now awaiting a return call from the rep's "supervisor."
    Given my long experience with Apple products, my guess is that I just happened to get a dud from among what I'm sure are tens of thousands of perfectly built machines. That said, I'm a bit hesitant now to buy the white MacBook that I told my wife I'd get for her this weekend. Not until I know these things weren't simply slapped together...
    My question: Has anyone else purchased a MacBook whose build is less than satisfactory?

    No build problems, but DOA nonetheless. I walked out of the store with one not more than 2 hours ago, and when I got home it was dead within minutes of starting up. Got the spinning wheel of death, but couldn't move it with the mouse. It was completely hung. Gave it 5 minutes, but no luck, and no key/reset combination would unstick it. Had to unplug, but then it wouldn't reboot. (I'm an expert user, and I know that I did absolutely nothing wrong or unkosher, so it was definitely not me.)
    But I'm enough of a believer to give it another go! The machine is sweet, no question about it. I just hope our cases are the rare ones.
