IPod 7th gen won't power on

Hello
My iPod kind of froze and I turned it off as an attempt to reset it, and it hasn't been able to turn off since. I tried holding the home and sleep / wake button; didn't work. I tried connecting it to an outlet; didn't work. I tried plugging it into my laptop, didn't work (and I let it 'charge' all night!) Im just out of warranty so I'd hate to have to buy a new one. Any suggestions help.

I also let it sit for awhile (more like 2 weeks) hoping that it would fix itself. Obviously, no luck.

IPod 7th gene won't turn on (tried everything!!!)

I bought a new ipod since my old one broke. And it's a brand new one. It works when I connect it in the computer to sync and it has my music and plays. But it won't turn on unless it is connected to the charger. I have left it charging and it still isn't charged full it says. I have restored it, I have reset. I have tried everything that this website and other questions show and yet it still won't turn on. I have even updated my iTunes. Still nothing. Can someone help please?

Hi Darksakura1,
If the issue you are describing has persisted even after a full restore, you may need to have your iPod nano serviced, or at least evaluated. You may find the following page helpful:

I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

TS1591 iPod 7th gen not showing up in iTunes (Macbook Pro) on first try

hi guys. i have an ipod 7th gen and just recently bought a macbook pro. what i noticed right away was that whenever i try to plug in and update my ipod, the icon shows up on the desktop but the iPod itself does not show up in iTunes. i have to unplug then re-plug in my iPod and that usually does the trick. a trick which is annoying to do because im sure most people with iPods dont have this problem. help please

Hey there Miles,
It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My new iPod 7th gen is syncing but no sound

I have just received my iPod 7th gen. It is fully charged and set up. I have synced my music files to it. When i play a song no sound comes through but on the iPod it shows as playing. Is this a fault with the ipod? The earphones work fine as i have tested them on my ipad. I have also restored the ipod to factory settings and resynced but am still having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated

Hello Bina092,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Verify that the iPod touch is not set to pause.

Verify that headphones are not attached to the headphone port.
Verify that Bluetooth stereo headphones are not paired wirelessly.
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
Best of luck,

Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work. Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?

- Have you tried when connected to other networks? Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
- What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines?

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect with phone

I am trying to connect my Droid Razor HD with my iPod Nano 7th Gen using Bluetooth. My phone recognizes the connection, my iPod doesn't. States:
Mobile phone
Not Connected
What's going on?

The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

Ipod-nano-7th-gen-won't-synch-from-itunes-or icloud?

I have a Nano 7th generation. I am beside my self trying to get the music I buy in i tunes onto the Nano 7th gen--my iphone 4S automatically downloads all the music I buy via Wi Fi ( I also have an icloud account that has all my music in it)
But, No matter what I can not get the the music into the Nano. I launch itunes, plug the Nano in, it shows up on the left side of the itunes store screen (sometimes)-- I have never been asked to register it-- and it never shows up with my authorized devices in the My account info section of itunes-- the Laptop I use & the iphone show up-- but I can't figure out how to get the Nano to show up as a recognized, authorized device.
Why does Apple make it impossible to learn how to use the devices they make?
I have all my music on the i phone ( which is really NOT the quaity music player that the Nano is, I would like to listen to it on the Nano).
Is there any way I can move the music from my icloud into the Nano 7th generation? I am completely at a loss, and don't know what to do or who to ask
Please, can someone help me? Music is one of the only things I have in my life, and this is frustrating beyond belief to pay for music I can't listen to.
Thanks for any one s help

Hey liznofears,
Connecting the iPod to iTunes and having it show up on the left is the first step. It sounds to me like you want your music to sync automatically whenever you connect your iPod - if so, follow these directions:
Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
Click the button with your device's name, below the Spotlight window.
In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
Select Sync Music. You can select "Include music videos" if you want to sync Music videos to your device.
Your device needs to have enough free space to sync the content that you selected from your library.
Tip: You can use the capacity bar at the bottom of the device settings window to see how much free space is available. The window will update with an estimate as you select content.
Click Apply. iTunes will sync the content you selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will show the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
To disconnect your device, find your device in iTunes and click the eject icon.

My iPod 5th gen won't turn on!

My iPod 5th gen was working fine last night and after charging it won't turn on with power button today. I'm not able to reboot using home button and power button simultaneously because my home button stopped working couple weeks back and I was using touch screen for home function. Any suggestions on how I can reboot without the home button working? Thanks!

See this previous discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

My iPod 7th gen has no sound

My new iPod nano 7th gen will not give out any sounds,

Hi guys,
I have just received my second iPod nano from Amazon. I had to return the first one as I had no sound coming out and the Apple Support guy - after resetting and restoring the original factory settings, said that it was probably defect and that I should send it back - which I did.
Just received the replacement and surprise, surprise, there is no sound coming out of this one either!!
I've reset this one with the Power and Home buttons, made sure that the Volume Limiter in the Settings is set to OFF, and turned the volume up to the max, but still no sound.
If I have to send this one back, it's the last device I buy from Apple. There is of course the possibility that I am completely stupid and I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, in which case shine a light guys, shine a light!
Other than that I have been all over the Internet before I landed here and there really does seem to be a problem with iPod nanos.
Yours, in deep frustration,
Lyra

Ipod 7th Gen battery icon

Why do Apple have micorscopic sub-icons (lightning bolt and plug) on the battery charge indicator of 7th Gen IPod Nano? I cannot see them without a magnifying glass!! Whay don't they have the moving fillup indicator that most things have?

That's not normal or expected. I've gone 2 weeks and probably 20 hours of play time without giving the battery in mine a second thought, and it still shows 25-33% charge. In November, I drove 8 hours from Ohio to Maryland, and it made it the whole way using Bluetooth to play audio through my car stereo. It was pretty well drained by the trip, though. I doubt it would have made it 10 hours with BT. I've never watched video on it, so I have no idea what to expect if it has to power the screen constantly.
I'd charge it overnight, and then start a timer while starting it playing music. When it was almost dead, and with the timer still running, I'd walk it into my local Apple store. (I hope you have one.) Bonus points if you document the experiment on video.

Why doesn't my ipod 7th gen connect to bluetooth in my new car

I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT. I was told that I could play my Ipod nano 7th Gen via Bluetooth. the car picked up my IPod and the IPod detected the car. Seemed pretty simple. But when I tap connect on my Ipod, I get an error on the car display "connection failed". I tried deleting the Ipod and starting over, but still won't connect.
The folks at the Hyundai are blaming it on Apple saying they are restricting the connection due to the last software upgrade. No one seems to be able to give a concrete answer. If someone spends over $25,000 on a new car they should be able to connect a simple Ipod nano.
I hope someone from Apple reads this and provides a solution so I can enjoy my tunes in my new car.

Nobody from Apple will read this.
Go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
Or call AppleCare.
There hasn't been a firmware upgrade on the Nano for over a year, which software upgrade is your Hyundai dealer referring to? Also, have you connected the car to any other device?
