I can't turn off hold on my iPod Nano 5th Generation

I wanted to change my song so I pushed the hold switch to off. Unfortunately hold didn't turn off. I took off the top white part that is glued on to turn off hold without the switch, just in case it was the switch that wasn't catching. It didn't work. I don't want to touch or take apart anything else unless I know what I'm doing for fear of breaking it. I just got it back in October 2009. What should I do? Please help!

yea unfortunately there is no Apple Store anywhere near my home and now my iPod is completely ****** up. Songs play with different names and stuff. So I'll have to mail the damned thing in. Thanks for the help though.

    are you trying to watch connected to a tv or just on the ipod?  Is your sync cable attached right now or not?

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

    i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    As I said in my previous reply:
    You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you

  • I can't see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation)

    I can’t see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation), but I can see and play them on the iTunes on my laptop. What do I do?

    Hi lone_dreamr,
    This is going to depend on how you are syncing music to your iPod nano. If you are automatically syncing, what option do you have selected in this menu? (Entire music library, or Selected content)
    You may want to uncheck the "Sync Music" box, apply the changes, then recheck the box, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • HT1351 I've purchased a game from the itunes store. Can I sync it to my Ipod Nano 5th generation?

    I have an IPOD Nano 5th generation.
    It has 3 games installed and I bought a game from the itunes store.
    How do you get the game on the ipod? I saw somewhere "clicker" games are the only kind
    you can use.  This is driving me crazy.  Can I sync this game to the IPOD at all? Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. It was a game I purchased that is suppose to be compatible with IPOD 5G however it downloaded from the ITUNES store in the "Apps" of ITUNES, but shows that it is a game with the extension.ipa.  There is no game tab in ITUNES. How do I get the game tab back in order to sync with my IPOD 5G

  • Hold button is sticking and wheel buttons are going on iPod nano 5th generation

    I have four iPods. One 30gb classic that doesn't work at all. Another inoperable one is a 2 gb (dropped in water) nano that they don't make anymore. Another is an 8 gb touch, and the last is a 16gb nano 5th generation. My main concern is the 16gb nano. The hold switch is sticking sometimes, and the previous and menu buttons are not working. The previous button went first, now the menu button has been going out. I have to press it 6 or 7 times sometimes more. I saw the support document stating that it was being pressed during calibration after switching it off of hold, but I don't think that is it. I am going to try the r's after their advice doesn't work. I am waiting for the next button to start doing it and then the play/pause. There is no problem with the wheel as far as volume or selection. I have taken excellent care of this device, and I am hoping they recall like they did with the first gen nano. I am crossing my fingers! There is barely a scratch on it.
    BTW, the 5th gen classic I have was doing really weird stuff. It would play after being completely charged. But, if you changed albums or songs at all, it would go to the reset screen with the apple logo and freeze up. I think I am going to get a new battery, I hope it works. I have almost 100gb of music, 16 doesn't quite cut it anyway.  It also won't recognize this device in iTunes. So, the troubleshooter is no help.

    1. Go to the iTunes Store.  In the bar that goes across the window, click on iTunes U.  These are lectures and other material contributed by many educational institutions.  They are free.
    2. I don't know.  But once it is on your iTunes library, you can change the Media Kind by doing a Get Info on the item in iTunes.  On the Options tab of the Info window, set the Media Kind to Audiobook.
    3. I don't know.  You'll probably know tomorrow...
    4. No.  I can't think of a way to do that, not as a voice memo recording.  If you can convert the voice memo recording from the iPhone into an MP3 or AAC file, you can add it to your iTunes library as a song.  You could then sync it to the iPod, like you would with any song file.

  • My iPod nano 5th generation will not turn on or charge. What is going on??

    Yesterday, after listening to my iPod, I forgot to lock it and it died. When I tried to charge it, however, the screen would not even light up. I then connected it to my computer just to see what it would do (I have a wall charger) and my computer recognized it but itunes did not. The screen stayed black. Do I need a new battery, or is something else going on?
