    My ipod mini fell too the other day in school. I picked it up and the screen was blank. I've tried to reset it and I've hooked it up to the computer. Itunes wont come up and it has the battery icon less than half full. But when I charge my ipod to the wall or on my radio, press the button down for 10-15 seconds, the screen lights up and it works normally. I just got it fixed almost year ago when this exact thing happened, and i the warrenty is done. so someone please reply this with the solution. i don't feel like buying a new ipod, i rather just pay 70 dollars to send it in and get it fixed.

  • IPod will not reset no way, no how, but works.

    5th gen 30 GB iPod about two months old will not reset. It isn't frozen, but it will not reset. I've done everything except restoring it and I'm hesitating to do that because I'm not sure how to back up all the music on the iPod to iTunes. There are more songs on the iPod than are on the computer. Is there some way to copy all the songs from the iPod onto the computer???

    If it's not frozen, why would you need to reset it?

  • My ipod will not reset after several attempts

    I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
    P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • HT1339 I have reset my IPOD 5th generation but it will not reset my apple ID, can anyone help?

The reason I did this is because it would say she has reach her limit on apple id's? Not sure never owed a apple before please help..

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed? The latest version is 10.5.1.
    Have you tried a different USB port?
    Rebooted the computer?
    Reset or restarted the iPhone?

    Other than the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your iMac.
    Check out:  Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball/freezing & crashing and  Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball.  Not sure if you have tried everything mentioned in these articles.  If you have, and no one else can come up w/any suggestions, then it's time to lug your iMac to your local AS or an AASP.  Diagnostic testing is FREE!!!

  • A 120 gb classic   ipod will not sync all music

    I thought that I was the only one having trouble.
    About 6 days ago, I got on the computer to mess around and adjust my genres because some were wrong, the it just froze when I got to a certain artist. My iPod savvy friend said that I should probably restore it to factory settings and all that jazz and I did, since then, when I attempt syncing, it will get to between 10% and 25% synced and I just want to tear out my hair. This thing has been ******* me off for the past almost week. Also, every time I open iTunes, it says that it is determining gapless playback information for 4 songs that are not in my library from what I have seen.....

  • Ipod will not reset or restore

    I have tried to reset my ipod at least 50 times, and have download the update in an effort to restore the ipod but my computer doesn't recognize my ipod so the software cannot d/l to the ipod, what can I do, is it a software issue or a hardware issue. What can I do to get it going, if anything?
    Ipod 5th Generation   Windows XP  

    I am having the same issue. The computer will not recognize the ipod. I've seen both the folder with exclamation point and sad ipod icons. When I connect it to the computer I get either the apple or the do not disconnect screen. It sounds like the ipod is trying to start up but then there is a clicking noise and it starts up again. Is this a battery issue? None of the home remedies have worked (and I HAVE read and tried them). Where or how can I get this fixed?
    Thanks.

  • My Ipod will not reset.

    Is it time for a new device?   Nothing I do clears the screen.  The last thing I was doing was to update the software.  Now all that is on the screen is the iTunes logo and a cable pointing to the logo.   It will not turn off or reset.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    Ipod was fully charged.
    Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
    Kind Regards
    Lindsey

    How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

  • Ipod will not charge, what do I do :(

    I dropped my ipod in the snow, there was a little water in the charge port, but it would still charge, but it wouldn't charge on my ipod dock (it would before) and then my battery got low so I went to charge it and it would not charge, what should I do? it is also jailbroken

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. This is likely the problem
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS1372 my classic ipod will not sync with win7PC even after restore. Help

    Today when connecting my ipod to my win7 pc it showed totally empty and failed to sync.  I have restored the ipod but that didn't help.  I cannot transfer my music to an external hard drive.  Do you think it is a problem with my PC and is my entire library in jeopardy?

    another way to add contacts (this is wat i use) is to
    enable ur ipod for disk usage. Then u go to "my
    computer" on ur computer, select ur ipod, and drag
    vcard files into the contacts folder
    to make vcard files, u can either double click on the
    instructions in the contacts folder and then change
    the info and save in ur ipod contacts folder as a
    vcard, or else open microsoft outlook, type in info,
    and save in ur ipod contacts folder as vcard.
    (note:hitting save without selecting vcard and ur
    ipod will save it to ur ocmputer)
    Sorry but I'm not using Microsoft Outlook but Address Book in Mac OS-X!

  • Ipod will not charge or register USB! Please Help

    Ok I have had problems with my IPod 3G but now I have no idea how to fix this one. Everytime I plug it into charge if flashes the Apple screen for a few seconds then shuts down and repeats. To add to the problem I cannot reset it because my macbook will not register that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it using 2 different USB cords and I also tried using a wall plug in. I also tried the hard reset. It will shut down but when I plug it in it just repeats the process. Im no noob when it comes to fixing my ipod but this one stumps me. Im thinking I will have to visit an Apple store.

    It think you tried everthing here.  If not try the items.  After that, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stoe is in order.
