How to keep light of iPod 30GB turned on when docked.

Hi,
My iPod is new and has latest software installed.
The settings of the iPod should keep the light on when docked in iPod-Hifi (main menu-loudspeakers-always on). However, after about ten seconds the light turns off when docked. The light stays turned on when undocked. The timer settings for light are set to always on. Can somebody help and knows what I have to do to keep the light turned on when docked? Thanks.

    If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?

    When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.

  • Ipod 30gb turns off automatically when battery is about half

    Hello,
    I have been testing my new ipod 30gb for a few days to see how much time I can let it play until thebattery dies. However, the last two times i did that (out of three trials)the ipod turn off automatically when the battery reached about half.
    My 'hold' button was on so I could not have touched it by accident and I left the ipod on my desk and no one touched it.
    Has anyone experienced this before or would anyone know what is happening?
    thanks a lot,
    JM

    dying for a cure.
    First, as I stated, the "cure" for an old battery is to buy a new one. Many people have had faulty batteries replaced for free by Apple - if the health is low (<80%) and the cycle count is <300, that's a faulty battery that is likely eligible for replacement. Personally, I had one like that replaced for free (after my one year warranty was up, but within the 2 year battery warranty extension). Second, perhaps this is happening "just recently" because the MBPs have been out for a while now, and people's batteries (just like the people themselves) are getting older. Batteries have a finite life and a finite number of charge cycles they can take before they become unreliable - that's just the basic chemistry of a Li-based rechargeable battery. Third, if you're addressing your comment to Apple, this is not the place for that - go to the appropriate Apple feedback page instead.

  • How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

    My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

    Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
    If not, the power button stuck down.

  • Don't know how to upload DVD on iPod 30GB?!?!

    I just got the new iPod 30GB model and I thought it was a simple process of uploading a DVD onto iTunes, but after attempting many times I realized it is more difficult. If anyone can help me that would be well appreciated...

    Where are you putting the memory stick?
    The Mac slot is only for sd cards - for memory stick you need either a USB card reader (recommended) or connect your Sony Camera as I suggested
    SDXC card slot.
    Transfer your photos and videos to and from your iMac just as fast as you’re able to take them. The built-in SDXC card slot works with standard SD and SDHC cards along with the new SDXC format, which supports capacities up to 2TB. Just insert your camera’s memory card and import your photos to iPhoto. From there, it’s easy to organize your photos by the people in them, share them online, or create photo books.
    By default you connect your camera to your mac via the USB connection and it will open iPhoto and ask you to choose which photos to import or to import all

  • IPod will turn on when I charge it, but then will not turn back on later on

    The only way my iPod will turn on now is if I plug it into the computer. I thought it had to do with the charge, but when I hook it up to the computer it says that it's already fully charged. Has anyone had this problem?
    Thanks!

    - 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 another cable       
    - Try on another computer

  • Does anyone know how to keep all songs in the same album when they say featuring someone?

    Each time I load a CD onto Itunes that has an artist who features another artist on that particular song, it puts it in my library as a separate CD even though it will have the same album listed.  For instance Lady Gaga's song just dance features Colby O'Donnis that song is in its own spot while the rest of the cd is together that one song is separate and I don't know how to keep them all together.  Someone help.

    Get the Informations for that song and have a look in the "Sorting" area if there is something different. The data inserted there is just for how iTunes will order the songs.
    If the Interpret in the general informations is "Lady Gaga" and in the sorting area is "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx" than you'll see Lady Gaga as the interpret but it's sort to a second entry "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx".

    how can i get my ipod to download when it says directory is corrupted?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem

  • My ipod only turns on when connected to charge

    Hi All,
    This is the first time I have ever posted to something like this so please bear with me if I am rambling / or left out any important info!
    I have a iPod Nano 3rd Gen, which I haven't used for quite a while due to me purchsing an iPhone a couple of years ago.
    I decided to dig it out and update the music on there.  I plugged it in to my laptop and all seemed to work fine.
    I left the iPod on charge overnight using the mains adapter that I have.
    Unfortunately, once I disconnected the iPod from the charger it won't turn on using the play button.  I reconnected to the charger, and the iPod will switch on.
    So looks like it will only turn on when connected to the power source, and won't work indepedently.
    As far as I know the iPod has never been in contact with any water, as it has been kept in a bedroom drawer whilst it hasn't been used, so i don't think the problem is that the iPod has become damp in any way.
    Has anybody else had a similar problem, and found a solution?
    Thanks

    I have a iPod Nano 3rd Gen, which I haven't used for quite
    The iPod's lithium-ion battery needs constant movement and action in order to maintain any sort of charge or capcity to charge.  So given that the iPod went unused for so long and the age of the device itself, it sounds like the iPod's battery is shot and in need of a replacement.
    You can choose to have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee, send into a third party service center for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery online and use one of the many numerous gudies online to walk you through the process of swapping it out.
    Here is Apple's pricing.  Google for third party service provider if you desire.

  • How do I prevent my iPod from powering on when I have the Hold switch on?

    After I power off my iPod I turn on the Hold switch to prevent it from powering on and using up my battery life, but for some strange reason when I pull it out of my purse to use it again I often find a song playing. To make things even stranger every time this happens it is always a song from the same playlist. I really just want this to STOP b/c it drains my battery. Thanks to anyone that can help me.

    Make sure you don't have an alarm set.
    Cheers!

  • Ipod automatically turns on when headphones connected.

    Please help! I have an Ipod 5th generation, 30 gb. When I plug my headphones into jack, my ipod automatically turns on. Also, I am not seeing the apple logo anymore, when I first turn on the ipod. It goes right back to the spot where I turned it off. I tried the five R's and it's still doing it! Thanks.

    When you connect the headphones or slide the hold switch on or off the ipod will turn on.
    You will only see an apple logo on you ipod if you bring it out of a deep sleep ( been off for more than a day) or while you are resetting the ipod.
    Here are som good articles on the apple web site for learning more about the ipod.
