Do you have an Apple Authorized Reseller (AASP) in your area instead? They also be able to help.
It could be a hardware issue with the device. As to exactly what, there is no for sure way to tell.

IPod mini doesn't play ANY songs!!! Please Help

My iPod mini doesn't play any songs. It doesn't play purchased music from the iTunes Music Store, ripped CDs, or ANYTHING. On the iPod I go to play a song but the music time counter remains on 0:00. When it does this faint sounds of the song trying to start can be heard, but then a lot of static comes up. A song did start once but it stoped at 7 seconds. I've tried the 5 Rs and everything I can think of! Please Help!

My ipod g2 doesn't play any song or any sound

my ipod doesn't play any music or sound but the earphones are new

Do you download your songs, via eg. kazza, limewire, winmx etc?
If so, make sure that you do not move them into another folder.
eg. You download Song from Limewire called 'The Apple song'
'The Apple song' goes into Limewire folder. You play the song in iTunes - Fine, but when you move the file into another file, the PC/Mac will not recognize the new path.

Ipod Classic doesn't play video with Component cables

I just bought a new Ipod Classic and I have it connected to my Denon receiver using the Denon dock. I am able to play music and movies from the ipod. But when I try to play movies thru my small LG tv (Apple red, rellow white component cable) I only get audio and only if I have it in the white docking station. Do I need to buy the composite cables to get the video? I do get a message stating I need to plug into a video source.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have tried to completely restore the iPod to factory settings and then resync the video?
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Before you do that, try converting the video once more using iTunes' built in convert. To do this, highlight the movie and chooose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When the conversion process is finished, sync the new version over to your iPod and see if that helps.

Strange noise when iPod Touch doesn't play music...

hello dear board members
I have a weird problem with my brand new iPod Touch. As soon as there is no music
playing, I have noise in my earphones. This vanishes if I just mute the music. I wonder
wether this is a hardware probleme, i.e. interference of some kind. It's not very loud, but
it drives me crazy and I think this is not normal, is it? What could I do to remove this, or will
it be necessary to send in my ipod?

right now I'm using just the standard apple earphones. With my sony headphones,
it's a lot less noticeable. It's just that with my old 2nd gen iPod I didn't have this hissing.
I just find it weird that the headphone jack outputs a signal when there s no music playing.

TS1362 I just bought a CD from iTunes and the last track shows in my iPod but doesn't play at all.

Is there a way to just delete the song and have it reloaded, or is this a bigger problem?
Thanks.

Folks,
When I try to play the song on my Mac, I get a message that the song is not authorized to play on my computer (the one I bought the CD on). When I try to "authorize" it, I get a message that the computer is already authorized. Help!

Mini doesn't play purchased music anymore

my iPod mini doesn't play the music that i have bought through iTunes anymore!
I purchased some new songs a few weeks ago, mini worked fine, but after a couple of days it just skipped the puchased music. Resetting didn't help, but the next time when I connected my mini to my computer it was normal again and played all the songs. today I opened it to listen some music and it refused to play them again! What's wrong?

Skybreaker,

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format. It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it. It seems to be in there as a file but not as music.

I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3. How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,
phil

Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage. It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time. But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable?
Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)? You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?
