IPod backlight problem...

Why isn't my iPod touch 2G 16GB's display not turning on? I know it's a backlight problem because I can faintly see the apple logo sometimes.

IPod backlight problems

I've only had my iPod since christmas and the backlight is acting funny. first it would flicker when it faded and then it would come on sometimes when i hit a button and now it doesn't come on at all. I've checked and the backlight is not set to be off. Does anyone know if this is something i can fix or if the light is burnt out or broken or something? thanks.

You can try restoring it but I think it will end up being a hardware issue.

My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately?

My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately, even when i touch the screen? Apps seem to work fine but no backlight. Tried updating the Ipod, Tried Resetting the Ipod, Tried turing it off then on, Tried recharging... still no repair?

I restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
What s the option button you are talking about. No such button is described in the Ipod Users Guide.

Ipod syncing problems...?

Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

[iPod 5G] Problems with Windows' iTunes keeping it synced.

I've been struggling to get my iPod 5G working on my windows computer. This is what happens EVERY time:
- I connect my iPod, it gives me "Cannot read the content of the iPod XXX...."
- I Restore my iPod (have also formatted it completely several times).
- the iPod shows up in iTunes and it syncs.
- I take the iPod out and i reconnect and it starts all over again and i get: "Cannot read the content of the iPod..."
Connecting the iPod to my MacBook will make it appear in iTunes and I'll be able to see the music and update it.
Things i've tried (in semi-random order, except for the last one):
- Updated the iPod (1.2.1)
- Restored the iPod about 10x
- Different USB port and different iPod connection cable
- Erased the iPod (3x): using Windows' format tool 1x and the Disk Utility in OS X 2x.
- Uninstalled iTunes, Reinstalled.
- Fresh install of Windows XP.
Could this be an iPod related problem? (it seems to work fine on my Mac)
Could this be an iTunes 7 related problem?
The iPod is brand-new, i got it after my old one had gotten a white screen that wouldn't go away. Could it be a faulty iPod they gave me?
P.S. Please don't suggest to 'just sync it with your mac' because it should work with the Windows computer that holds all my music.

hi chris
the difference is:
at home i've started it and it has been running 12 hrs without touching it
outside i've used it while running through the park five times, so i started and stopped it five times without touching it otherwise (didn't change songs)
do these five times starting/stopping waste 8,5 hrs battery runtime?

5g Ipod. Problem with Firmware 1.2.1

Like many out there, I upgraded my iTunes software to ver. 7 and subsequently the iPod firmware to ver. 1.2.1. This resulted in the iPod "freezing" problem many others have reported. I've gone through the exercise (twice) of uninstalling iTunes 7, installing the version of iTunes on my installation disk (I believe it's earlier than 6.0.5) and then installing firmware provided in Updater 2006-6-28 (1.1.2). Problem is that iTunes doesn't recognize anything in my music or video library and the only way (so far) to solve this is to upgrade back to Itunes 7.0.2 but not to upgrade to firmware 1.2.1. My iPod now works but when I sync to iTunes, many of the videos (TV shows) I've purchased won't transfer to my iPod. The reason given is that my iPod software is too old. This has also occured with any new video purchase.
Has anyone experienced something similar and is there a solution to this problem.

I am having this problem as well. It was irritating me so bad that i just reverted to 1.0 since i don't have any other version availible because itunes doesn't save the updates. I tried all of the 5"R"s and it still locked up as soon as i booted my iPod up.

Hmmmm ... have you tried increasing the brightness? Any on screen display showing the brightness bars?
You can try uninstalling power manager, power management driver and hotkeys package then do a reboot then install all 3 again and see if it helps.

Ipod-a problem machine?

Hello everbody,
i´m a new 4gb nano user. After reading some posts here, i have a doubt...correct me if i´m wrong...but are ipods a problem machine? because all i can read is problems problems problems.
thanks a lot

No, they are not. You have to put it into perspective.
1. Nobody in here is sayingg "yeah, I love my iPod". They come here for technical help when they have a problem.
2. Most of the questions asked in here are solved.
3. Consider how many iPods there are in the world (upwards of 60 million). Then consider how many questions there are in these forums. Then take into account the fact that many of these questions are not related to the iPod, or that many are looking for advice on whether or not to buy an iPod, which model, etc.
I have had 5 iPods in my house, and only once did I have any sort of problem (due to a faulty iPod hardware piece, but Apple sent me a replacement in less than 2 weeks).

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems
I am having problems with the voice control system and my video ipod (5th gen) in a new Ford Focus Coupè-Convertible which also has Bluetooth phone conectivity ( works great with my iPhone 3G) as well as USB & Voice Control
This is all done through a Sony audio unit (model Sony 6CD DAB) which has a Six disc CD changer built in, as well as the usual FM & AM Radio bands as well as DAB Radio.
My problem relates to the voice control of my ipod and playlists.
Now some commands work just great For example if I say the following sequence ( which the unit repeats back to me at each stage) it works great:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Play"
All works well as it starts playing whatever playlist the iPod was in prior to connection to the unit, or if no playlist had been selected it just plays the whole contents of the iPod. - It also works fine with the commands "Shuffle" or "Repeat".
But according to the user manual I am supposed to be able to play or select a specific playlist by voice command using the following syntax as quoted from the manual:
'...create playlists named with the structure "Ford<*>" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford7" without any spaces between "Ford" and the number.
So I made several playlist called
Ford1
Ford2
Ford3
and so on up to Ford10.
Now according to the voice commands list I should say the following phrases which like before, are repeated back to me by the system:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Playlist"
Then the unit responds with
"Playlist Number Please"
Then according to the manual I should say the following:
But when I say either
'Ford1'
Or
'1'
Or any right up to 'Ford10' / '10'
It responds bystating that playlist number (X) not available.
I have also tried with the quotation marks ("") around the name eg "Ford1", but that has not worked either.
So I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew a solution, or could tell me where I am going wrong.
Although my car is a UK model, I believe that this voice control system is available with Sony units in American cars as well.
Hope you can help as this is driving me nuts!
Thanks

Hi Drusus.
I also have a European Ford (Focus ST - 2009) with the same problem.
Have you found any solution to the problem, or know if its possible to contact Ford...?

No iPod backlight; not the brightness option

No iPod backlight; not the brightness option
Ive read through the board and can't find an answer to this. My classic recently has been working fine OTHER than the backlight not working. Its NOT the brightness option in the menu, its on full. The light will come on if I reboot ipod with center/menu buttons, but will soon be back to not working shortly. I've also tried restoring and while it seemed like it might work, a little while later its back to not working. IDEAS???
thanks

Sounds like the backlight is burning out, which does happen with most iPods overtime. It's a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

Having Windows & iPods detection problems?

Try Microsoft article below - has to do with iPod detection problem. Try This...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925196

Sounds like there may be a problem with your install ..
perhaps you have two
different play version on your PC (eg you've installed a
newer version, but
old one didn't fully uninstall itself).
One possible solution (if that is the case) is to run the
uninstall utility
from Adobe, then search your harddrive for any files matching
*flash*.ocx ..
and if they are actually flash players (look at properties
version info tab
to ensure they are macromedia/adobe flash player ocx's -
don't want to kill
something to do with flash memory (say)) then delete them.
Also kill off
the c:\windows\system\macromed\flash folder .. so then you
have no flash
player ocx left. Then go to the Adobe web site and
re-download/install the
latest Flash Player. NOTE: if you do this, be very careful
you only delete
things that can safely be deleted without causing problems
elsewhere.

back up the device in icloud and restore it back to factory settings after doing so setup as new and see if the issue is still there. If it's not merge your icloud info back into your device by just loging in with your apple id after the the setup is complete.
