Ipod 6th gen not working

Hi there, I bought an ipod 6th gen just over a year ago, while using it, I noticed the screen get grainy just before my battery went low. Now the screen is black and wont charge. I am wondering if it is the battery or the ipod itself. I never dropped the ipod or abused it anyway, I dont really want to buy another one, if this is going to happen, has anyone else had this happen, or know what the problem is?

Ipod 4 gen not working on bose dock and car dock since i update the ios 6.1.6

ipod 4 gen not working on bose dock and car dock since i update the ios 6.1.6?????

Have you went to Bose's support site?
Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset the Bose unit
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem then there is nothing you can do except see it Base has firmware update.

Ipod 6th gen not showing any music after successful sync

Hi all,
My ipod 6th gen has just started doing something odd.
When I plugged it in it said it couldnt be read and I had to restore it.
I did this, but now when I sync'd all my music back to the ipod, it seems to work, but when I unplug the nano and try to play some music there is nothing available to play.
Any ideas?
I have the latest version of itunes, and the ios on the iPod is up to date.
The Sync seems to work, and in itunes you can see that there is music on the ipod. But the ipod itself shows nothing available to be played.
Pls help!!!!!

IPod 3rd gen not working with universal dock

My old iPod 3rd gen (15GB, touch wheel, dock connector) worked great with the old dock, until the latter started scratching noises when outputting audio to my stereo. Still charges the iPod though.
So, I tried old iPod with the universal dock I got for my Touch and found the following problems:
1. iPod is not being charged through new dock plugged to wall adapter
2. touch wheel menu control is not working as long as iPod sits in universal dock plugged to the wall adapter - the sound of clicks is all I get, but no control of menu or any other function. In order to select playlist or use any other function through touch wheel or any of 4 buttons I need to unplug power from the dock (it is not charging anyway)
3. remote is not working at all
Otherwise playback is OK.
Any ideas what may be the culprit here? Apple states that Universal dock is compatible with 3rd generation of iPod and up.

Hello Andrew,
What a coincidence as I too have had to find a new dock for my 3rd gen ipod. This week I purchased an Apple AV Connection kit - but found that it would not charge the ipod or respond to the remote. I also bought and tried a Belkin AC adapter with cable to power up the ipod but it too would not charge the ipod.
To see if these units were working I connected them to a friend's brand new ipod classic and both the Belkin and Apple AV Connection Kit worked fine - so there is something different about the 3rd gen ipod.
I'm not sure if this helps you - but at least you know it's not just your ipod that is not working with the new dock.

IPod 6th gen not syncing right.

It gives me a message that 100 songs couldn't be synced and show on my iTunes with a "!" next to them. Why and how do I fix it?
I am not a very tech savvy person and this is very annoying!!
thanks for the help!!

That means iTunes is unable to locate the files in the location specified from under the iPod's Summary tab of its Get Info window in iTunes. See this article for more information.

Ipod 1st gen not working after update

Doing a firmware update via itunes. I couldn't restore my ipod after it had finished doing the update.
The error number I got was 6. And then my iPod just didn't turn on for ages, and now it finally has and won't turn off and is stuck on a the backlit blank black background.
I went into an apple store and the man at the genius bar said because it was itunes, Apple has nada to do with it(?), and was just really unhelpful in general.
The ipod I have is a Touch 1st generation 16GB.
Would appreciate any help or advice. Thanks.

It is only available for late 2006 model iPods. The Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006) serial number's last three digits will be one of the following: V9K, V9P, V9M, V9R, V9L, V9N, V9Q, V9S, WU9, WUA, WUB, WUC, and X3N.
If yours is an older model, it doesn't have it, nor is it available via a software update.

My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it. Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio. When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod. I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great. So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod. Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod. Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store? The Ipod is only 6 months old.

You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
That has worked for some users.
However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.

Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless I talk right next to the mic but it sounds low . how can i fix this

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings

IPod classic 160GB 6th gen not sync after HDD & ribbon cable replacement

I recently replaced my iPod 6th gen HDD and ribbon cable, but when I connect it to my PC and iTunes recognizes it, I can't sync or load music to it 'cause it displays an 1439 error, What can I do?

I assume you have tried everything in this article? And I do mean everything.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
Have you tried restoring it another available Mac or PC to see if the problem persists there?

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen.

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen. I don't know what triggers it, other audio is fine- only podcasts. Set on 1x speed. Affects all podcasts (not a media problem).
I can't see any setting that could be affecting it.

Just tried that and did not work. Also I do understand and have made podcast lists in the app. The problem for me is that when done with the podcasts I can't just reach down and get my Ipod unless my truck is not moving. Think safety of everyone on the roads.

My ipod 6th gen just died- for no reason.

So I woke up this morning and tried to turn on my new ipod 6th gen, and it didn't react at all. I was pretty unsatisfied with the battery anyways, and noticed it draining over night since you cant turn it off completely, but the battery couldn't be the problem since i just charged it yesterday night. So i hooked it up to my mac and its still not responding at all. I'm pretty ******, I always handled it with care, it wasn't in the sun, near water, or anything else. The sleep button has been unresponsive before. The only thing i could think of is that i disconnected it without ejecting it yesterday, but it didn't die then, since it told me just that- that i disconnected it and shouldn't do so in the future. HELP PLEASE

Today I returned my Nano 6th Gen. to Best Buy for the second time.
Both units just Died within 30 days of usage.
First problem the **** battery seems to just keep running even when on stand by.
Why is there no power off button??
Second even after charging the battery life was short.
Third, the both iPods just shut off and then when I tried to recharge they overheated
Immediately. Dead as can be. Two units behaving identically.
This is no accident. I am highly disappointed in Apple for releasing such Crap.
I am a Super loyal Apple guy. And this *****!
Now what? I don't have a gym tunes now.
Totally ******.
