- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does the Apple store fix ipods?

Do Apple stores fix Ipods or do I have to mail it to Apple? I don't have a warranty and my ipod is kinda old. I'm kind of apprehensive to mail my Ipod somewhere. Do they give you a estmate or do they do the work and charge you?
Thanks.

No, they wouldn't fix it at an Apple store. You could send it in but out of warranty service from Apple is very very expensive. Quite frankly it would be more cost effective to buy a new iPod.
You could try a 3rd party site such as iPodResQ.com

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)

How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)?

Hey! So I found out this free way to be able to use the home button with no cost! It won't unjam it, but using this method you will have a touchscreen homebutton.
Directions:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Scroll down and go to Accessibility
4. Scroll down and go to Assistive Touch
5. Then turn assistive touch on.
What you will see is a little white circle on the screen. When you tap this circle you have the Home button option(which functions all the ways of your jammed home button). As well as a few other options; Device, Favorites and Gestures. You can move that circle about the screen for your convenience. This is just a way to have a home button without paying to restore.

How I fixed Ipod not recognized by windows.

Like many of you I spent many frustrating hours trying to get my daughter's shuffle working. I had given up when a co-worker suggested updating the drivers. To do this go to control panel/system. Then go to the hardware tab and click the device manager. If after connecting your ipod it does not show up in explorer and in the device manager window you see an unknown device you probably had the same problem as I did. To fix, double click the unknown device to bring up its properties window. Then go to the driver tab and click the update drivers button. It asked me to search the internet and I let it. After a couple of minutes it found drivers for a USB large capacity storage device or something like that and loaded the drivers. After the drivers where installed I could now see the IPOD show up in explorer. I then reran the restore process on the Ipod and everything finally started working.
Hope this helps as I lost 8 hours trying to fix this thing.
I am not sure why XP with service pack two could not find the drivers by itself or why Apple doesn't have better support, but at least my daughter is happy now.
Windows XP

I had the same problem. But the shuffle worked fine on another computer. The problem was with my computer...a Sony Vaio. To much plastic molding around the USB port so the shufflw was not getting a flsuh connection to USB port. I simply took a knife and whittled away the plastic molding on the computer until a good connection was made.
Sony offers the following: Due to the unique design of the Apple® iPod® Shuffle™ device, it may not connect flush to some USB ports. When the design of the computer will not allow the device to achieve a satisfactory connection, a USB extension cable is required. Apple offers an iPod® Shuffle™ Dock connector that is an ideal solution to resolve this issue, because it is designed to charge and sync the device when the USB port is not easily

WINDOWS wants to scan and fix IPOD Shuffle

My Shuffle worked flawlessly on my old laptop running Windows XP but now on my new laptop running Vista, a window keeps coming up asking me if I want to scan and fix my IPOD. I click continue without scanning and the IPOD usually works OK with Itunes but that window comes up everytime I sync the IPOD with Itunes.
Occasionally, the IPOD will have trouble syncing with Itunes. I restored the unit but that didn't eliminate the problem. I haven't reset the unit yet - not sure if that will help given that a full restore didn't help....
I believe that WINDOWS may think that the IPOD is a USB drive rather than a IPOD.....
Ideas?

the fix here worked for me: http://www.futureofrealestatetechnology.com/general-real-estate-technology/resol ve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-ipod-or-other-devices/comment-page- 2/
in short open a command prompt and type "chkdsk g: /f"
replace the "g:" with the drive letter of your ipod.
this worked for me.

Vista prompts "Do you want to scan and fix (iPod Name)"

My wife has a new T61 ThinkPad running Vista pro. Previously we connected her iPod to an XP desktop. With this new laptop it regularly prompts with a message "Do you want to scan and fix" the connected iPod, with the options to "Scan and fix (recommended)" or to "Continue without scanning". I don't want to have Vista do anything with the iPod other than work with iTunes.
Any ideas as to what is causing this message and how to stop it from appearing?

Is it iTunes or Windows itself that prompts you to scan the hard drive of your iPod?
If its Windows, then I'd ignore it. I had a similar problem after moving my iPod from XP to Vista (and my other MP3 player that's not made by Apple) and the problem is Vista itself and it's rather annoying ability to want to check everything. I scanned the iPod using the scan and fix Vista offered and it did nothing but mess up my iPod to the extent that I had to restore it and re-load all my music onto it (it also happened to my non-Apple MP3 player). I think it happens because Vista recognises the iPod as a hard-drive but due to some driver problems actually thinks that it is a corrupted hard-drive rather than an iPod and then it offers to scan and fix it (when it doesn't need fixing). So long as the iPod syncs with iTunes then I'd ignore it. The solution? To be honest I think short of using another Operating System you're going to be stuck with Vista and all the problems it has to offer. It's the reason why people are demanding new computers come pre-loaded with Windows XP even now despite Vista being out for over a year!

Mom trying to help "fix" Ipod

My daughter is receiving a message stating "Songs cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist"
The playlists and songs are there. How do I fix this for her?
Thanks so much,
Vonda

Hello Vonda,
This post should sort it out for you: Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

FIX: Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)

Hey everybody,
I just wanted to share with you a solution that my friend and I have used to eliminate the "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)" error. I have a iPod Photo 60 gig that has not had this error before....until 3 days ago. I tried to drop a few songs onto my iPod and it gave me this error. After talking with my friend, I realized that a few things had happened that I didn't think were variables at first. For one thing, I had just updated my iTunes to version 7.4.1.2. That same day, I also had a new update to Windows XP sp2. When I restarted my computer (to complete my iTunes update), both install were now active.
I tried to add new songs to my iPod and I kept getting this Cannot Sync error. The songs would get onto my iPod and I could play them from the iPod via iTunes. Once I disconnected my iPod and tried to play them, the songs were gone. iTunes was failing to save the songs on the iPod.
Resolution: I connected my iPod to a 3rd party interface (to replace iTunes) and it worked. The interface is called Yamipod and this is where you get it from:
http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/downloads/
When I connected it to my iPod, it identified some bad file and corrected (or replaced) it with a good file. I added songs via Yamipod and they were correctly synced to my iPod. And the best part is, after I used Yamipod my iTunes was now working correctly. I told my friend at work to try this out and it worked for her too. She mentioned that she used Yamipod and then updated her version of Quicktime before everything started working.
All I have to say is that the latest release of iTunes was probably incompatible with Windos XP and some file was corrupted. Like iTunes, Yamipod probably needed this file to sync correctly...so it just overwrote the file, compared to iTunes, which just compained about being broken.
One more thing, Yamipod is a free tool that you can use to extrasct songs from your iPod to your computer. That is the main reason why I use it, but now I realise it's more stable than iTunes too!
Good luck out there, it ***** to have an iPod that you can't add songs to.

First off, have you tried these five iPod troubleshooting steps?:
The Five Rs
If you have, then let's move onto a few general possible troubleshooting fixes, since the solution to a -48 error on a PC is somewhat unknown or various.
See if assigning your iPod a different drive letter helps, following the instructions from this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
Try reformatting your iPod to FAT32, through your computer. Then, we'll restore it in iTunes afterward. To do that, see these steps:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
2 - When iTunes has finished syncing with your iPod, open "My Computer".
3 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format". (If your iPod is not showing in My Computer, make sure that disk use is enabled in iTunes).
4 - Here, verify that your formatting settings are "Default", with the format type set for FAT32. Also, make sure that "Quick Scan" is not selected.
5 - Then, click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
6 - When this is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod in iTunes again, so as to properly reload the firmware back onto it again.
Finally, this could be caused by digital signing issues on your computer. See the "Solution 1" section of this article for help regarding that possible cause:
iTunes displays a -50 error when syncing iPod
Any success with any of those things, or do you still have the error?

Fixed Ipod killed by 1-10 update

My ipod was killed by the 1-10-2006 updater. Symptoms were:
1) Exclamation point folder icon
2) Connecting it to the PC would freeze the PC
3) Ipod Updater/Itunes would not recognize the ipod
4) Hard disk would whirr and click and would have the 'do not disconnect' sign that never went out.
Here's what I did:
1) Got a linux box, fdisked the various partitions, and copied the binary of the 11-17-2005 update over.
2) Eventually, after rebooting it a bunch of times into disk mode, was able to get ipod update to update the ipod.
3) It STILL wasn't recognized, so I
a) opened the case
b) removed bits of loose plastic from around various connectors
c) tightened the hard disk connection
d) (important) unplugged the battery and plugged it back together.
When I plugged it back into the PC, Itunes found it and everything worked fine.

I updated my iPod last night, and today I discovered the same problem all of you are describing. But, after fiddling with it a bit I think I've figured out more details, though none of it helps me fix it. When I play any video that I've downloaded from iTunes, no matter the play length or file size, it plays perfectly fine. But, when I play a video that I've converted outside of iTunes, and if the video is about twenty minutes or longer, it pauses after 30 seconds of playing and then goes silent while the video resumes. I can play short non-iTunes videos okay, but as soon as I play a longer one, kaput. I first noticed it when I was trying to watch an episode of Smallville, and then I tried watching a twenty minute video from IGN. But, when I went to something short, it played with no problems.
Anyone else fine tune the problem? Any other fix besides blasting it and going back to a previous update?

Trying to fix ipod. Process of elimination replacing parts...

HI,
I'm currently trying to fix an iPod colour (4th gen).
It will not boot up normally, only ever getting to the Apple logo.
It shows, at different times, both the sad ipod and the folder icon.
I have replaced the hard drive and the logic board. Running the diagnostics test (hold down back/left and select buttons) the hard drive appears to pass all tests and I can only assume that because the tests are being done that the logic board is ok too.
Another thing is, the charge icon occasionally shows up but never gets past the first bar. I am trying to charge it from the mains plug using the normal USB cable. I have tried different cables. Today I changed the battery for a new one but it's no different.
I can only now imagine that there might be a problem getting power TO the battery.
Suffice to say it is not syncing to a computer.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Has anyone been this route before and can recognise what the problem might be?
Any help appreciated...

Sorry, are you saying my problem can't be a poor contact or connection?
I've tried with 2 different logic boards. While the ipod is plugged in to the mains via USB I can get the diagnostics test to run. But when I plug it in to the computer all I can get is the battery icon which never goes up.
I guess both these logic boards have bad contacts...
