Dropped Ipod Classic 150GB- Not working now?

Hey!
So, one day I got mad at my iPod - being a normal 15 year old and I slammed it on the ground not thinking. The floor is tile to be exact. I stuck it back on the docking station and came back about 25 minutes later and didn't hear any music playing. I looked at the screen- no outside damage! The songs were showing "playing" and it would show on the time 0:00 and 0:00. I would skip to the next song and it would show the same thing. I reset the iPod - menu and center buttons at the same time. I got the Apple logo for about 10 minutes and then it said "restore using iTunes". So I connected my iPod to the laptop and I got this screen and it said "Do Not Disconnect" with a blinking circle with a line thru it. It shows that it is connected to my computer but not to iTunes. I tried to format the iPod using "computer" but all that happens is computer freezes. GRR! I need my iPod for dance! Is there anything in the world I can do other then buy I new iPod??
Thank you!
Signed,
A very stressed, music loving teenager

You've probably mortally wounded the hard drive. Take a look at Corrupt iPod classic for diagnostics & troubleshooting steps.

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

My play/pause button on my Ipod Classic is not working, I am unable to turn off my Ipod or push play. Can this be fixed?

The play/pause button on my ipod classic is not working, I am unable to turn off or push play on my ipod. Is there away to fix this?

Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
What encryption/security is the router using?
Try:
- 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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

Ipod classic 120gb not working and service request won't go through

my ipod has been messed up for awhile now. it randomly started skipping songs and then it started not playing them. so i went to apple's website where it told me to follow the 5 r's which i did, and now it is just showing a red x and tells me to visit apple's website. i made a service request back when it first messed up but was really busy with school and now that i'm done i have tried to make another service request and it keeps saying we're sorry blah blah some kind of problem and to contact apple. unfortunately it's been over 90 days since i bought my ipod back in february and so i don't really want to call and have to pay. my ipod messed up in april so i only had it from feb to april. does anyone know if i can only make one service request or if apple is just having some kind of problem with the request or what the deal is. i would really like to get my ipod fixed considering it wasn't cheap and i've barely got to use it. thanks.

Have you tried contacting the courier company that collected your iPod in the first instance, or phoning Apple using the number in the "contact us" link at the bottom of this page?

HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

Saajan jain

To give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

I dropped my iphone5 in water... my sim is not working now... wat shud i do now???

i dropped my iphone5 in water... my sim is not working now... wat shud i do now??? i dont hav insurance too

If your SIM isn't working then go to your network provider and get a new one.
However, the water is likely to have damaged more than just the SIM. If the iPhone is damaged you'll have to pay to get it repaired or replaced if you don't have insurance.
