Ipod classic 30GB stopped working

Any ideas on getting it to work? When I plug it in to charge it the unit tries to turn itself on and then cycles off and on etc.

iPod issues? Try these five steps first: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

  • My ipod classic has stopped working, won't even charge. why?

    my ipod classic has stopped working suddenly and now switch on or charge, any ideas?

    The community need more info, from you to be of any help.
    Stopped working?
    1. What do you see on the iPod screen?
    2. When was the last time you charge it successfully?
    3. How old is your iPod?
    4. What version is your iPod?
    5. When was the last time your iPod was working?
    6. Are you using a Mac or Windows iTunes?
    7. Which version of iTunes are you using?
    As you can see in the discussion list, some Post don't get a response, as the regulars don't know how to help without the relevant info.
    Have a nice day!

  • My ipod classic 160gb stopped working and has a lock at the top. it won't sinc to itunes. suggestions?

    my ipod classic 160gb stopped playing and has a lock at the top of it. none of the functions work and it won't sinc to itunes. my computer doesn't recognize it and showed a message of "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)". any suggestions?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My  ipod classic just stopped working.  Will not turn on, will not do anything.  Black screen.  It is still under warranty.  What do I do to get it fixed or replaced?

    My ipod classis just stopped working.  It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

    If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service. 
    iPod won't turn on
    If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage.  If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

  • 3 week old 80G ipod classic screen stopped working

    My three week old Ipod classic is just showing a blank screen since yesterday afternoon. What do I do with it?
    I tried to find somewhere on the Apple site that would guide me but it is really hard to find help.
    Has anyone here had a similar problem?

    Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

    I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

    Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
    The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • IPod classic 30gb not holding charge

    As stated above I have an iPod classic 30gb. After a few mins of removing from charger the iPod dies. Is there any way the battery can be replaced.?

    You can hope that when it dries out that it will work. You shouldn't have turned it on yet....so let it sit for a few days and then see if it works. Other than that there isn't much you can do.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.
