I-Pod stopped working - some advice welcome

Hi there
My 8GB i-pod nano stopped working this morning.
When i went to switch it on nothing happened (i.e screen did not light up and no music), i only got keypad tones.
I tried the usual reset etc and still nothing now not even keypad tones. I have tried plugging it to power in as well with no luck.
This is my second i-pod of this type since May 2008.
Unfortunately the warranty expired in April '09 so if I send this in to Apple for repair it is going to cost me (how much i cannot even guess.
Any advice welcome - i am wondering whether i would just be better buying a new i-pod although this would make it my Third in less than two years!
thanks for your time
Sam

If it won't do anything even when you plug it in, then it's probably not even the battery. Sounds like it's time to buy another one, because it's shot.

  • My iMac is only several weeks old and the light on caps lock stopped working any advice?

    My iMac is only several weeks old and the light on caps lock stopped working any advice?

    Hi
    Does the Caps lock still work, just not the LED?
    Or does the caps lock not work at all? You usually have to hold the caps button for 1-2 seconds.
    If the key is indeed faulty, then you should contact Apple, or go to an Apple Retail Store, or Service Provider to have the keyboard replaced

  • My right ear pod stopped working, along with the microphone

    My right earpod stopped working along with the microphone and volume buttons. I made an appointment with the apple genius bar to get my earpods replaced for free, but do i need my iPhone receipt? I ask only because the ear pods came with my iPhone, and i have warranty. Also, do i need my carrier account information and my apple ID? Basically im asking, what do i need to bring/have with me to the appointment in order to get my earpods replaced?

    You should only need the box or S/N. Don't worry, Apple stands behind their products and I am sure they will replace them. As long your phone's warranty isn't up.
    iPhone standard warranty is 90 days phone support, and 1 year technical support.

    HOT GOOD NEWS
    By reading more topics i discovered that Firefox was now available in 64 bits under the name "Waterfox", so i installed Waterfox.
    Seems running faster but also fixing the flash problem.
    This mess could be explained by the 64 bit architecture modules compatibility problem, i don't really know but my problem is now solved.
    Waterfox comes up with the firefox bookmarks and installed shockwave and silverlight plugins automatically (previously installed in firefox, other plugins are not installed this must be due to the installation process as flash and silverlight are more than plugins.
    Warning do not install adobe shockwave player, the adobe flash player installed name's is adobe shockwave player and is working.
    There is a real comprehension problem with these test pages!

    The animation comes and the version is displayed
    Hope this could help

  • Slide Animations Stopped Working

    Hello,
    Last night we had a program in which we were screen sharing a Windows Media Player video. The setup I had was a Content Pod with a PowerPoint file in the front, and the Screen Share Pod behind it. In a new layout I had the reverse setup, the Content Pod behind the Screen Share Pod, so prior to the start of the program we were already Screen Sharing the video, so we just clicked the new layout when it was time and the video was ready to go instantly.
    Before we got to the video, we noticed the slide animations in the PowerPoint file in the Content Pod stopped working (they were working previously, tested multiple times). We had to stop the presentation and re-load the file in order to get the animations to work again.
    Have you ever had this problem occur? And do you see it correlating to having the Screen Share Pod active throughout the session?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    This is the app that came with the phone itself & can't be removed/reinstalled.

    I assume you are connecting via AirPort. It seems that the 10.4.8 update disrupts AirPort functionality on many intel-based iMacs. From reading all the threads on this subject, I would say your simplest and most effective solution is just to downgrade back to 10.4.7. Many users report issues even after they implemented Apple's recommended fixes.

    Thank you John for your help
    I have a AMD Radeon HD 7570 Driver Version 13.152.0.0
    I had already been to their site and run AMD Driver AutoDetect without any luck
    I have been  using Adobe Creative Cloud for the year since I first purchased this computer, and every programme except Premiere Pro is working OK.  I had a similar problem a few months ago after I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and I then uninstalled Premiere Pro,  and deleted the AMD Beta Drivers which I had installed from AMD Catalyst following a recommendation on the Forum, and when I reloaded Premiere Pro everything worked OK  without the Beta Drivers, .and although I still received messages Premiere Pro has stopped working some times, until yesterday I had always opened  Premiere Pro after a couple of tries.  
    I was going to uninstall Premiere Pro this morning, but  following your E Mail I went back to AMD and thought I would try downloading Beta Drivers from AMD Catalyst and  Premiere Pro opened first time of asking.
    The joys of Computers, Lets hope it keeps working now
    Thanks a lot

  • TS1718 Itunes has stopped working error!

    When I double click iTunes to start up windows error pops up and says iTunes has stopped working? Why is it doing this? How can I fix this?  Please let me know.
    Steps I have done:
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 2 times.
    I uninstalled QuickTime
    I restarted my computer 4 times.
    I have even put a cd to watch a video and the windows pops up with the same error with iTunes has stopped working.

    You're welcome.
    (It's actually iTunes for Windows that has the bug ... the content played just fine in version 10.6.3.25 with the same QuickTime componentry in place. Fiddling with the QuickTime settings is just an odd sort of workaround for the iTunes bug.)

  • IPod - BMW Connector - Mine just stopped working???

    My factory BMW/Ipod connector has worked perfectly up until last week (over 1yr). I don't recall updating any software on either my ipod or my itunes software recently.
    It just stopped working. When it is plugged into the connector in my vehicle, it is recognizing the power source as it is charging the ipod, however my car won't recognize the ipod anymore.
    If anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting or history of the same thing happening, I would appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    The same thing happened to me. I have a 40G click wheel model, and it suddenly stopped working. I took it in to MBW, and they said it was my Ipod. But the Ipod works in every other way. I also called BMW, but no help there either. So I tried my daughters 10G dock connector Ipod, and it works! So, I went on ebay and bought a 20G dock connector Ipod, and use it only in my car. Not a great solution, as BMW and Apple should work out this bug. But until then, I will use my backup Ipod, as it is only solution I could come up with. Hopefully it does not also stop working some day!!

  • Airport Express stopped working...

    My airport express stopped working some time ago so I bought a new one so I could play my music remotely again. My ld one just "disappeared" , it no longer showed on iTunes. I am having problems setting the new one up. I am using airport utilities and going through all the prompts. It is making me join my existing wireless network. At the end when it goes to restart, I get an error message "Airport utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting".
    I am stuck, any suggestions?

    Quick check list
    Is your AE firmware updated to 7.3.2?
    Is your OS 10.5.4?
    Is your Airport Utility software 5.3.2?
    What are you using for a wireless base station? is it a combo modem / router, or are you using an Apple Extreme Base Station in bridge mode with a third party router?
    All of the above are possible issues.
    Provide some more detail in your post and the group will be more likely to be able to help

  • Portege - Reel Time stop working with Adobe Reader X

    When I installed adobe reader x (to replace adobe reader 9) reel time stopped working - any advice as to how to install reader x without affecting reel time?

    Hi profpgsmith,
    Probably you must update Toshiba Reel Time as well?! After Adobe Reader X installation I would update Reel Time too that can be downloaded on official Toshiba website.
    Furthermore I would also run CCleaner that is a freeware cleaner to delete old registry keys and keep the registry clean.

  • HT2292 I have a 3GS iphone.It was working alright with iTunes.Recently, it was unlocked. After it was unlocked, the iphone is functioning alright but it is not recognized by iTunes and iTunes stops working, when I connect iphone.Any advice please.

    I have a 3GS iphone. It was jailbroken and working alright.But I was not able to upgrade its IOS frrom 4.0.1 to higher versions and many applicatopns were not compatible with this version of the IOS. So I decided to do a factory unlocking. From an website, based in Mumbai, I unlocked it. When I check now in different websites from my IMEI number, my iphone is unlocked. So I became happy that I can now upgrade my iphone. But the events turned to be different.When I connected to iTunes, iTunes stopped working and my iphone did not appear in the iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes after cleaning previous registry of all relatedd components like Quicktime, Bejour,Apple software updates and mobile softwares. I also used msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in software of Windows 7 ultimate but still my iTunes is not working, when I connect the iphone. If I do not connect the iphone, iTunes is working alright. Can any friend give me some advice how to proceed. I do not like comments like Jailbreaking is illegal and should not have been done. Please advice me what should I do right now. Thanking you all and expecting some valuable suggestions from this expert community.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
