IPod 20GB is no longer playing.  Can you help?

My iPod 20GB has been working fine for months, but now it wont play anything. It just goes from song to song without playing.

Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

    The apps and other content on the iPod did not transdfer with the purchase of the iPod. The lience to use them remains with the original purchaes. You should connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and purchase and sync you own media.

  • HT1420 I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new harddrive.  All previous hardrives over the years have crashed or been repaired and I never deuathorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

    I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new hard drive.  All previous hard drives have crashed or been repaired and I never deauthorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

    Hello zoefromoranmore,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to deauthorize devices which you no longer have, you will have to use the deauthorize all command, found in the article below.
    Deauthorize all computers
    If need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. After you authorize 2 computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
    Why should I deauthorize all of my computers?
    To make sure that only you can play your content, or to free up authorizations used by your old computers. Here's when you should deauthorize all computers:
    Your computer doesn't work anymore
    You sold or gave away a computer and didn't deauthorize it first
    What happens when I deauthorize all computers? Will I lose my content?
    Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won't delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won't be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers until you reauthorize them. You need to have the computer to reauthorize it.
    How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
    Using one of your authorized computers, follow these steps:
    Open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID). Or open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Deauthorize All.
    The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means you only have one authorized computer.
    I deauthorized all of my computers. What should I do now?
    Reauthorize each computer that you want to use with iTunes. Go to Store > Authorize this computer and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Deauthorize your computer using iTunes

    Can you help me on something? I restored my iPod and everything I had was gone. (What I Wanted) But then when I looked at my Usage It said I only have 22.5 GB Available and I Used 6.0 But I didn't. I also looked at my Backup storage and it still had all of my backup from before I restored. I deleted all my backup because it said I used all of my Backup Available. And now when I try and backup it says there is no more room or whatever to backup and Its 5/5.

  • My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

    My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.

    As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
    Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
    Try talking first

  • I have an Apple ipod that gets stuck on the first track of every album, can you help please?

    I have an Apple Ipod model MC 688. My problem is that every track played 'sticks' , if I forward it sticks on the next track, just plays the same one over and over.
    Very frustrating, can you help please?

    "Sticks"
    Do you mean the same song repeats? If so, turn off the repeat (1) song feature.

  • My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?

    My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?

    That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet.  Take a look at this article for a possible solution
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
    The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access.

  • HT4972 I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help with me step by step instructions.

    I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.

    iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
    Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353  for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch. 
    Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated.
