Help! iPod doesn't respond

I plugged my iPod nano (1G) to my computer and it didn't respond. I Tried plugging it to FireWire and nothing happens. I also tried holding the menu and center keys... nothing.
Please help!

Hi,
I think I found the answer...I had the same problem, and now my ipod mini works again.
How did you reset your ipod? did you just go the menu>settings>reset?...i tried that..and it didnt work.
I found another way of resetting. On your ipod, hold down "Menu" and the centre (select) button for a couple seconds until the apple logo appears. After that, connect the ipod to the computer again. Hopefully this works for you!

  • HT1460 ipod doesn't respond to pressing dial

    lately my ipod doesn't respond to pressing the dial as if to go to the next or previous song, or to back out further to the main menu.  Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.  It's hard to believe the dial has worn out - I've barely used it. 

    do a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the menu button and the middle button at the same time for 10 seconds.. it may take a few trys.

  • IPod doesn't respond to buttons, & backlight is on constantly.

    So... my iPod doesn't respond to pressing buttons.
    There is a constant glow coming from the screen, but it won't go away with anything I do.
    I have tried plugging it into the computer, NOTHING is getting this screen away.
    What should I do.

    do a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the menu button and the middle button at the same time for 10 seconds.. it may take a few trys.

  • When I turn my ipod 3rd gen to the side the album artwork doesnt appear I think my ipod doesn't respond to being shaken I need help!

    How can I make my ipod respond to being shaken?

    The entire point of any warranty is that it guarantees against manufacturer defect for the term of the warranty.  There is no guarantee past the warranty period.  This is the way a warranty works.

  • IPod doesn't respond

    ive had my ipod for over a year and a half, and i know age can have an effect, but i was using my ipod for data storage about a week ago and i tried to turn it on, and it wouldnt, even though it was fully charged. i also tried to sync it with the computer, both of them running windows xp. iuve tried resetting it and it hasnt worked yet. any help would be great.

    You should try [This little program|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/ipodresetutilit y104forwindows.html].
    Note: For most people, it doesn't work from the first time.
    Hope this will work,

  • Ipod doesn't respond to any keys or turn off.

    Hi,
    I have a 30g Ipod vedio. While upldating the library in the manual mode, I got a a message in Itunes that my Ipod is corrupted and needs to be restored. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my ipod, since then my ipod is not resonding to any keys, and I can't turn it off or on. It has a "do not disconnect" message on it's screen, even when it is disconnected. And my computer doesn;t recognize the USB device anymore when I connect it.
    Even when I connect my ipod to a power adapter it does not come to the menu screen.
    I have exausted all possible options that I know of, to set it right. Any help on this would be much appreciated/

    Before you get too deep into this issue, are you sure that your "hold" switch isn't on?
    The "hold" switch is located on the top of your iPod. The On position should be orange-colored, and the Off position is a grey-colored area.
    Are you able to reset your iPod? Press and hold the "Menu" and center buttons together for about 7 seconds.
    If you can't reset it, try connecting it to another power source (like a portable power adaptor), and instantly disconnect it after a few seconds. This may hopefully break it out of "Do Not Disconnect".
    I hope that helps your issue.

  • Help - ipod doesn't play songs but skips through them

    My ipod suddenly started skipping through songs and that's all it does. It will not play music or video, just skips through it to the next one, and no album art is showing on anything. Does anyone have any advice or help?

    Does your iPod do this with every song on it?
    How long has this been happening?
    Also, try playing the songs, then in the middle of a skipping session, press "pause" on it. Does the album art show then? If that's the case, then simply your iPod bogs up when doing all that skipping. If that's not the case, then the album art hasn't loaded correctly.
    As for the skipping through everything, if you reset your iPod (I think that's what it's called, not formatting, or something..). That will refresh it, and may take care of it. You will lose settings and stuff, though.

  • IPod doesn't respond to touch after falling into water

    Ok so I dropped my iPod in the toilet, clean water (the classic case).
    It happened a few days ago, and I immidiately dried it out and put it in a bowl of rice.
    At first, it still wouldn't work, but then after a day or so, everytime I plugged it to the computer, the computer made a sound, So I left it in a bowl of salt (the big chuncks kind).
    Now I can turn it on, and it works and looks fine, but it won't respond to my touch. I can't unlock the lock screen, or completely shut it down, because it just won't respond, and still, the buttons work (the turn on button and the home screen button).
    It's been in this current situation for two days now, and I would really be gratefull if someone told me what I should do to fix it.
    And if it can't be fixed by me, will the people in the apple store be able to fix it?

    I would dry it longer. Then

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod doesn't respond to touch and is stuck in DFU or recovery mode

    So the touch screen of my ipod touch didn't work and I went along with what people said (I pressed the home and power button at the same time) and now the touch screen still doesn't work AND it is stuck in recovery mode or DFU mode. I've tried to get out of both the recovery mode and DFU mode but I'm still stuck in either the recovery or DFU mode.
    What can I do to get my ipod touch back in the normal state without having to restore it?  .

    Nothing that I know of.You  will have to restore the iPod via iTunes.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
