Ipod broken!!! HELP!!!
My friend gave me his iPod to use and i accidentally dropped it. The screen is cracked, but thats not the problem... the problem is that Its brightness is Always low! The brightness isnt working at all, I brighten it to its highest and doesnt brighten, it just stays dimmed. How can i fix that????
I would guess the problem is that the screen is broken. You cannot be surprised that a broken screen doesn't function normally.

HT1212 Will Apple fix my iPods broken screen?
Will Apple fix my iPods broken screen?
No. See the following:
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these. -

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

MY 8 month old might have corrupted my ipod. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 8 month old son corroded my USB cable by chewing on the ipod connector. Not realizing this, I come in, plug in my ipod, and get an error that the USB cable is corrupted. I unplug ipod and look at the cable. The part that goes into the ipod is green and crusty...definitely corroded. SO, i go buy a new cable: Dynex dock cable from Best Buy. Just plugged it in, and nothing happened, except my pc is charging my ipod. But no communication from the computer to the ipod. Nothing in windows, or itunes. My ipod still works fine in any other playback dock, it just doesn't allow data transfers from pc to ipod. HELP!!! Is my ipod f'd???????
If you dare you could try cleaning the connector on the ipod - I would try some denatured alcohol on a tiny bit of clean cloth over the end of a really small screwdriver or knife. Carefully wipe both sides of the male connector blade that you can see in the connector port.
You could also try simply plugging /unplugging the cable many times - the wiping action may clean the crud off. Blow on the connectors or use compressed air while you are doing it for good measure.
If you are near an Apple store you could take it to them and have them try it with an Apple brand cable - that may have a better chance of making good contact.
Good luck. I knew baby spit was nasty but I didn't think it was actually corrosive! -
my ipods broken so i cant get on it. im trying to sell it so i need to restore it to facotory settings so when the screen is fixed all my stuff wont be on the ipod.
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup (if you want)
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore. Make sure that iTunes is not signed into any account otherwise the ID email address (not password) will be on the iPod.

One song is not syncing with ipod touch - help!
it has synced the other songs I downloaded, but this one will not sync even though it is checked to sync, and appears in the playlist in iTunes. I've reset the iPod to no avail... it's an ipod touch 2nd gen. I've also removed and re-synced the entire playlist and it simply will not put this one track on the iPod. HELP!
I am having the same problem as well. One song, purchased from iTunes, will not sync to my iPod touch. It was on it last week, now it is not there. When I plug the iPod into my PC, the song is in my library and it shows it in the iPod playlist when connected to iTunes...but it is no where to be found on the iPod. I have tried to delete it from the playlist, and put it back in the playlist and re-sync, but it still is not there. It plays on my PC in iTunes. Any ideas out there for this one song issue? Thanks all.

"itunes cant read your ipod" please help :(
my ipod died so I plugged it into my computer, like usual, to charge and when I came back there was an error message that read:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "mine". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
so I did that, but then I got a new error message saying:
"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
I'm connected to the internet though so I have no idea what to do and when I disconnected my iPod all of my music is gone, it's still on iTunes but I would like it back on my iPod
any help would be appreciated!!"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
[iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple TV (2nd generation) software update server|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814]
(Slightly different message, but seems like it might be worth a try.) -

Pressing sleep button has a wide variety of random effects, is my ipod broken?
I have the relatively new iPod Nano 9th Generation, and I have had it for nearly a year. Everytime I am done selecting a song, I put my iPod to sleep by clicking the sleep button so it continues to play the song, but doesn't waste as much energy on illuminating the screen and such. I do this often, and now the button is becoming more increasingly difficult to press and less technologically responsive. When I press the sleep button now, it either pauses the song, skips the song, reads the songs title, does nothing, just funtions properly, etc. I feel it may have something to do with the jack of my headphones, because when I am not physically contacting the headphone jack (I usually use it as sort of an extender to make it easier to hold on such a small mp3 player), it normally is a little more responsive. I would attempt to use another pair of headphones, but I do not have any left, and do not wish to invest in more if this iPod is nearing its breaking point.
So, the big question. Is my iPod broken?It also effects other buttons aswell, such as the increase and decrease volume. They still have the same effect as the sleep button however. All on screen buttons work just fine, it is just the physical buttons. I have recently tried different headphones and the same thing happens so it isn't the jack I don't believe, and there is no easy was to test without headphones altogether because there are no internal speakers to tell me whether it pauses, or reads the song information with siri's voice, or skips to the next song, etc..
If you were unaware, this is the type of iPod I own. It is roughly 2 inches by 2 inches and the jack is plugged into the bottom right of the iPod while the buttons are placed on the top.
From left to right, the buttons order is: Decrease Volume, Increase Volume, Sleep Button. -
