  • Ipod Wont Respond! Help!

    Ive had my Ipod since last christmas, so almost a year. my warranty is about to expire too..anyway. I was listening to my music as usual and i was using shuffle. I pressed >> so i could skip some songs, then my ipod stpped playing my songs (showing the song on screen, but then just went to the next, paused, went ot the next without playing) it then just shut off and it wont turn back on. I was on half battery and i really dont knwo what to do. the hold button was off, i tried to chrage but it wont respond, help!

    On December 20th 2005 my iPod Clickwheel [4th Gen] (40G) failed, the built-in self-diagnostic routines telling me that there was a hard disk failure. I called Apple and was informed that I would have to pay £169 to get the device “repaired” (actually what I would be doing is purchasing a refurbished iPod). £169 is 61.5% of the price I paid the AppleStore in September 2004, some 15 months earlier.
    In speaking to customer relations, I pointed out that I have purchased lots of other hardware and software all from the AppleStore over the past two years including three Macs each with AppleCare plans and I’ve been a .Mac member since its inception. None of this made any difference.

  • Ipod wont respond

    The click wheel on my ipod mini wont respond at all. I cant reset it or do anything using the click wheel. I have tried updating my software and even completly restoring the ipod to no effect. I have no idea what could be wrong with it please help.

    make sure the hold button isn't on, and then hold the centre button and menu button down until you see the apple logo. if that fails, use the hold switch and flick it on and off until the apple logo appears.

  • 30Gb Video Ipod wont shut off

    I have a 30GB Ipod video. It works fine, all features work, plays video, etc. The problem is it wont turn off using the Play button. I have reset the ipod 3 times, still nothing.
    Any idea's?
    Joe

    I had the same problem. I ended up just letting the battery run out and then recharged it.
    It was working fine, but now it freezes during songs randomly and wont respond. I switch the hold button back and forth and press menu and play till it restarts but then a little later it will freeze again. I thought that maybe restoring it would do the trick but now it will not sync. It will start loading my songs but at some point, a message box pops up saying the requested file is unavailable. After that, when I unplug my iPod, it is frozen on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, and I have to reset it. How do I get my iPod to sync?

  • Video ipod wont add any more MP4 video files?

    i have well over 23 GB left on my 30 GB video ipod and for some reason stupid itunes will not add the files to my movies setion of my library. I have the videos in my documents, and i click add file to library, that doesnt work, and when i double clcik the file so it will play in itunes, that doesnt work either! PLEASE help.

    Oh, my mistake!
    The screen is leaving pixel lines? That sounds like a pretty well damaged iPod.
    If restoring/updating hasn't worked, the best thing to do is to request service for your iPod. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free:

  • Help ! itunes wont respond once i plug in my ipod classic

    HELP !!! ... my itunes does work but when i plug in my ipod classic (which i got for christmas)itunes doesn't respond at all .... theres a kind of lag ...its truly alfull because im only allowed to use itunes with ipods and its not compadible with anything else >> Bill gates help meee !!!! ( oo wait hes microsoft ...

    There are so many things to try other than the 5 Rs. If you would have kept reading or looked at the other link, you might find something that helps.
    And the 5 Rs aren't really "drastic"...
    Since your iPod is showing up in Windows, this article specifically addresses the problem you are experiencing...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    And no 5Rs! (I posted that link before, but you may not have looked at it)
    You may also want to try restarting your computer.

  • Ipod Wont Respond in windows after disco

    I recently had my Ipod plugged into my Windows XP box. As I was transfering files from the harddrive to the PCs harddrive via windows explorer, my 1 y/o came and forcibly disconnected the Ipod from the computer. Naturally, all the transfered were disrupted. However, now when I plug in the ipod into the computer, My Computer registers the removable harddrive, but not the ipod (when the ipod is plugged, it displays Ipod, but when I disco it thru iTunes, it just says Removable Harddrive, in My Computer)
    Since the Ipod portion of the harddrive isnt being seen, I cant see it in iTunes either. Whats worse, is I cant access any of the files on the harddrive of the Ipod (It hangs when I try to open it or right-click it)
    Any thought people? Thanks!

    Same kinda thing happened to my ipod except it was
    the 1st time I conected so I never finished instaling
    the ipod. Windows is just saying "USB Devise Not
    Recognized" Anyone know if and how I can fix this? or
    do I need to take it somewhere to be fixed?
    I went through the same **** just the other night. In my enthusiasm to get my Ipod video up and running, I plugged in my Ipod BEFORE I installed the software- even though the disc has a very clear sticker stating "Install software before connecting Ipod". I have no patience.
    So then I got the USB Device Not Recognized message after the install. ARRGH!! After hours of trying to find drivers, software updates, fully charging the ipod, etc, here's what I did:
    I reset the Ipod (connect ipod to computer, set Hold switch to Hold, then turn it off again, press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears). It worked! I was able to complete the install because suddenly Windows recognized the Ipod device.
    The quick start manual indicates that you should reset the Ipod if the Ipod isn't responding, NOT if Windows isn't recognizing it. They should update their troubleshooting portion of the quick start guide. Hope this helps!

  • Help! ipod wont restore any firmware! what should i  do?!!

    i updated to 4.0.2 firmware any now i can restore to any firmware i have put my ipod into dfu mode and it wont restore help!

    You need to install the adobe flash player plugin.  Download only from the adobe flash player plugin download page.  Mount the downloaded dmg and launch the installer.  Check the agree to terms to enable the install button and then click the install button.
    Once installed, the next launch of your browser should allow you to play youtube videos and flash videos on other flash video sites.

  • HELP! iPod wont sync!! (diff problem 2 others..)

    hi, i have an 80g ipod video (2006).
    i just purchased a tone of new songs and the piece of crap wont sync them. unlike the other similar threads i don't get any messages or error messages etc. for me, it syncs as normal but does not put the new songs onto the ipod! i also deleted a play list and it doesn't seem to be updating that either!!
    someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE help me!!! i really need to fix this as i am going away next week and would like to listen to NEW songs on my trip!!! lol

    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

    Don’t use the supplied installation cd.
    First off, if you don't already have it, download and install the latest iTunes 5.0
    Then download and install the latest iPod Updater, then restart your computer.
    Run the updater program, connect your iPod when prompted (not before), and follow the set up procedure, and you should be good to go.
