IPod Classic 120G turned off and won't turn back on.

I have the iPod Classic 120G and I was listening to it and it turned off. I've tried restarting it and plugged the iPod back into the computer and it still fails to turn on. Help please?

If it's not the HOLD switch, try resetting it with the two-button combo.

  • HT1339 After I disconnect from my PC, my iPod nano shuts off and won't come back on?  How do I fix this?

    When I disconnect from my PC, my nano shuts off and won't come back on.  I have tried holding down both the On/Off and the Home buttons -- but nothing...

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 15-r018dx display turns off and won't come back on

    I have a HP 15-R018DX laptop that I just bought and when I close the display, it turns the display off and won't come back on when I flip it open again.  I've already changed the Power Options so that the "what happens when you close the display" options are all set to "nothing happens".  Despite that, each time I close the display and open it again, the display goes blank and stays blank, though the status LEDs on the left side tell me that the compuer is still on and not hibernated, etc.
    The only way to return the display to normal is to push the power button (I have it set to hibernate when I push the power button) and then turn it back on again after it hibernates.  Then, the display is illuminated again like normal.  No amount of touching the touchpad, it's buttons, or keyboard keys will return the display to normal once it turns off after the lid is closed and re-opened.  Any ideas on what's happening and how to make the display turn on when opening the display again? Thanks in advance!

    I was also facing the same probs..
    bt when i reinstalled OS, nw alomost every part s ok except the brightness part..
    The option to adjust brightness seems unavailable..

  • My Ipod classic wont turn back on

    My IPod classic wont turn back on. I dont know why.

    Try a Reset.
    Turn the Hold switch on, then off again and then press-and-hold the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds. The Apple logo shoudl apapera at soe stage and then the iPod will re-start.
    Alternatively, if the iPod's battery is drained, plug it into a power source and leave it for at least thirty minutes. Only then will it show signs of life.

  • After upgrading to mavericks my mac shut off and won't come back on

    I upgraded to Mavericks and my 2013 macbook pro shut off and won't come back on.  When I push the start button I can hear the chime and then my sleep light blinks really fast and then shuts off completely.  All I get is a white screen with the loading circle just going around and around.  I tried resetting the pram but that didn't work.  Any ideas?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

    Most likely a bad battery.

  • HT5538 Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. It has been charged but nothing works.

    Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. As far as we know it's fully charged, can't check as got a blank screen but does buzz when charger is plugged in. Has been left on charge for quite some time. As you will gather, I am sending this on his behalf.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • My ipad 2 turned off  and won't go back on .

    My ipad 2 turned itself off while watching sky. I assumed the battery went but it was at 50 odd per cent while watching the ipad. I plugged it in to charge it up. It didn't charge for ages and when it did it only remained at 1%. The next day it finally went to 7% but it has turned itself off again and won't go back on. I have reset it on the ipad itself but my iTunes on the laptop doesn't recognise it. It flashes the apple logo as if it is turning on but that's it. Anyone any ideas? Is it completely gone? It didn't fall or drop or anything. Thanks

    Start here and see if you can get iTunes to see the iPad agin. If you can, try restoring the device using iTunes.

  • Q5 turned off and won't switch back on

    Hi,
    My friend went on holiday and the Q5 he was turned itself off and won't turn back on again.

    Connect your Q5 to the OEM charging cable. Let it charge a few hours.
    Then, with it still connected to the charger,
    Restart: Press and hold the upper edge power button about 20-30 seconds, ignore the 3-2-1 timer and hold until the screen goes black and you see the red LED.
    Do you see any LED or screen activity on thte deivce?

  • MacBook Pro 2012. Replaced hard drive yesterday by apple. Went home working and now it turns off and won't come back on till I plug it in... Help!

    Have had a ton of issues with my Mac. Went to the apple store in march and they said my processor could be going bad and they basically did nothing. Yesterday I was using my computer put it to sleep. 10 minutes later I opened it up and it completely crashed. Drove 2 hours to get to apple because I am away at school and need my computer for finals. They replaced my hard drive and it was working perfectly fine till today. Now it turns on and works and then shuts off and it won't come back on till I plug it in. It's completely charged and I need it for my classes. I have apple care but I can't keep driving back to apple every day. I have a apple appointment tomorrow but this is ridiculous. Has anyone had any of these issues? What's it going to take for them to replace my computer I can't even live a day without it right now. And by the way. I could not even get any of my data off my old hard drive. So basically nothing is on this computer right now.

    Let them know how this is inconveniencing you.  For a replacement, I believe Apples general rule of thumb is if it comes in for the 3rd time for the same issue they will replace it, but it may vary by store.  It cant hurt to ask for a replacement.

  • I was updating my phone and it turned off and won't come back on

    I was trying to update my iphone 5s yesterday and it shut off and now it won't come back on. I've had it plugged in all night and have tried holding the home and sleep button but nothing works

    Try holding the home and sleep buttons for as long as a minute.  Try it a few times.
    Are you sure it's plugged into a good outlet using a good charger and cable?
    Else, take it in to Apple and let them look at it... you have a 1 year warranty.
