[HELP] Ipod Nano Buttons Don't Work [HELP]

Okay, I had got my Ipod on December 25, 2006, but now I recently came by a problem.
I charge my Ipod, and then take it out the right way. When I try to listen to my songs, the buttons don't work, the only button that works is the HOLD SWITCH. This is getting on my nerves. Do anybody know how to fix this problem? I might have to get another one or send in for repairing. Thanks.

First try a reset...
Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
Obviously if your buttons are truly broken the above won't work, but worth checking anyway.
Next, try restoring the iPod and see if that clears it up.
If not, then you may have an actual hardware failure.

  • My iPod Nano buttons don't work...

    My iPod Nano buttons don't work even tho my Hold button in off when I switch my Hold button from ON to OFF my iPod shuts off then restarts by itself. My iPod is fully charged. I have updated my iPod to the latest update. I've tried to restart my iPod many times but since the buttons don't work it doesn't happen.

    If you've reset and restored and the buttons still don't work, then it needs service. Either take it along to an Apple store, or send it in.

  • Motion menu submenu buttons don't work - help?

    Hi, I'm using encore v2 to create a video of a friend's children that I converted from a vhs tape, b/c she wants to be able to watch it on dvd, using her tv's dvd player (and possibly remote controller also).
    so far, I've created all the chapter points, i'm following lesson 5 in my adobe encore v2 classroom in a book, i've created 3 submenus (chapters 1 to 10 menu,  chapters 11 to 20 menu, and chapters 21 to 22 menu, and on the main menu I've added (or tried to add) text buttons so the friend can navigate to any submenu she wants to and play any one chapter's video sequence she wishes to.
    in motion preview, the chapter buttons work (that is, when I click on a random chapter button in preview to test the menu, the corresponding video sequences play,) but when I go to the main menu and try clicking on a "chapters 1 to 10" submenu, or a "chapters 11 to 20" submenu, etc, these buttons do not work at all.
    this is what my video menu is supposed to look like. its from the lesson 5 instructions on pgs 114 - 116 from the encore v2 classroom in a book
    how do I fix this menu?
    thanks in advance.

    Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.
    Just curious; does V2 have the Chapter Index feature? (Just look under menu and you'll see it.)

  • Why my ipod touch buttons don't work?

  • IPod and iTunes don't work, HELP!!!

    I bought a few albums a week or so ago and didn't bother to burn a copy. Next, I got a few new CDs for Christmas, so I decided to upload them to iTunes. I had started when I had to log off of my account for a while. So, I logged off for about an hour, and I tried to get back on iTunes to finish uploading the CDs, but it wouldn't open, and I couldn't digure out how to get it to open. Then I went on vacation for about a week, and on about the third or fourth day my iPod (Classic, 30 GB, made in 2006) started spazzing out. It would play but the screen stayed the same, or it would "pause" without actually pausing. So I did the thing the support tells you to do , toggle the hold button, then press the middle and menu button simultaneously. I did that twice, cause the first time it didn't work. The second time I did this, it seemed to work, but then the screen just went black. I hit the menu button to see if that would help, but instead of making my iPod good as new, the screen went white and said "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." So, I obviously couldn't, because my computer was at home, and I wasn't. I waited till I got home (yesterday night) and restored my computer to a time I knew iTunes was working, and went to sleep cause it was taking a long time.
    This morning, I got up and tried to open iTunes, but a window popped up that said Quicktime was not installed and iTunes needs Quicktime to run. so, I reinstalled Quicktime and when I tried to open iTunes, another window popped up that said that the Quicktime I had was 5.5(I think) and it needed 5.7 or later. So I uninstalled Quicktime and reinstalled it with Apple. I tried again to open iTunes, but yet another window popped up that said something like "Your library cannot be opened because it was installed on a more recent version of iTunes. So here I am now, after being on the computer all day, after repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime and updating iTunes several times, completely confused. Is there any way to get my library back and restore my iPod? Any and all hints are desperately wanted. Please help!

  • My Ipad 2 won't reboot. the little circle keeps going round but the buttons don't work. help please.

    My Ipad 2 won't reboot. The little circle keeps going round but that's all, it won't boot. nothing happens when I press the button on the top either. Please help.

    After you hold the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears (ignore the red slider to shut down) then let go of both buttons and you don't need to do anything else.  Your iPad will restart all by itself.  Just be patient, but leave your iPad alone after the Logo appears.

  • Helpful and Solved buttons don't work with Safari

    I had to switch to Firefox to use them. Am I the only one?

    Thanks, Kady. I tried from another account and it worked. I then temporarily deleted the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    ~/Library/Safari
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    with no effect. And of course I can't reinstall Safari without reinstalling 10.4.3, which seems like too much trouble. Any other suggestions?

  • Buttons don't work unplugged, work plugged in

    I am asking this question because I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but my iPod mini recently got a bit wet, and so I left it a few days and restored it and everything, but now if it is plugged into my computer and I eject it from iTunes, but leave it plugged in all of the buttons work the way they are supposed to and the iPod works (plays music, wheel works, etc), but as soon as I pull the connector out of the iPod the buttons don't work as if I put the "Hold" button on. Music continues to play, but I cannot do anything. If anybody knows a solution please reply.

    You don't say how long ago it was in the steamy room.
    If it was just recently, then I'd try shutting down the MacBook, then putting it in a warm, DRY environment for a week in the hope that any condensation is evaporated away.  I'd keep the MacBook open to encourage drying. Don't be tempted to keep trying it during this process. Just be patient.  However, changing its orientation every day might speed up the drying process.
    It's possible that condensation might be shorting out part of the circuitry.  If this is a case then there might be permanent damage to the electronic components, but there's a good chance things might recover once it's dried out.
    If it hasn't recovered after a week then I think your only option is to take it to a repairer.
    Good luck

    My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

    try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
    If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
    If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

  • Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help

    Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help. I try to go to settings and the volume won't go up there either I have the home button gesture and still the same. I try resting my iPad and nothing no sound work unless I have my headphones in. Do anybody know how to fix this

    Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Help! Back button doesn't work, new tabs won't take addresses, restart, refresh & an uninstall haven't done any good

    Serious issues. My entire browsing history is missing, website addresses don't show in address bar, back and forward buttons don't work, when I type an address in a new tab, it opens in the old tab only. Tried restarting PC, opening Mozilla without add-ons, refreshing and even uninstalling and reinstalling-nothing is working. I tried to download Places Maintenance Add-On and Mozilla will not do it. No error messages-nothing happens. Help!

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

  • My apple is not recognizing my ipod nano G4, has always worked in the past. Need to charge it, but it won't charge. please help. have read troubleshooting, checked connectionsp

    my mac doesnt recognize my ipod nano G4, its always worked before. read the trouble shoots, checked all connections. it needs to charge and wont do it.

    Try the suggestions in article - iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop.  If the suggestions do not work, more than likely you need a new battery.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
