IPod completely blanks out!!

My iPod Nano that I got in 2007 has been working completely fine until today, when I went to turn it on and nothing happened. I plugged it into the computer, which wouldnt regonize it at first, then after about 10 minutes told me that my iPod had been corrupted and needed to be reformatted. I clicked to reformat it, but it did nothing...any help??

Thanks.
I did the whole restore thing, and it showed no data on my iPod, but when I went to load songs onto it, it gave me an error message (something about a write error? i cant remember what it was exactly).
I ended up just unplugging the iPod, and when i tried to plug it in again, Windows recognizes it, but not iTunes.
I still have a few days left until my 1 year waranty is up (i think) so i might just try to send it in to get repaired. any advice on that?

Ipod completely blank and making wierd noises

My ipod has always worked fine until I started using an itrip, after that, I try to connect it to my computer using my USB connector, as I have many many times and it wont respond. Itunes says I have no Ipod connected, it wont charge, when I connect it to my computer my ipod just stays black, nothing at all, no reponse, not to mention the wierd buzzing noise when I have it plugged in. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried that as well but the screen just went blank again. Then randomly, it says connect to power and even so, it still says connect to power. Its barely a year old.

Ipod completely blank and wont respond to anything. what should i do? whats wrong?

My iPod fell in water a few months ago and I decided to take it to the authorised dealer in my city, Nairobi. They told me they couldnt fix it. Today, I connected it into my laptop and it said 'Charging, Please Wait...' so i did until the apple logo appeared with the light behind. Later on, it went off and my laptop has really tried to restart it, but it gives me these random errors (a different one each time) I really need it back. Please help!

My iPod completely freaked out...

Last week, my iPod froze up on me a couple times. The first time, i was able to fix it... sort of. When I went to listen to it again, it froze after a few songs. Since then, i've tried a bunch of things on the support pages here, but nothing was working.
I've apparantly restored my iPod, as there is no longer music loaded onto it. I was having a problem w/ my iTunes reading my iPod, so i re-installed iTunes and all that fun stuff, and it seems to be working... for now.
The problem right now is, when i went to put my music back on, my iPod shows as having 22GB of space being used up aleady, but there is no music back on there yet.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Ipod completely blank

My ipod will not turn on anymore. This happened thirty minutes ago when i was in my car. I didn't drop it, didn't spill water, nothing happened that could've made it stop. itunes still recognizes the ipod when its connected, though. How do i get it working again?

I believe the reason why your iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" is because it's possibly trying to make a connection to your computer, or it's updating itself. What does iTunes say while your iPod says that message?

Blank out Display?

Hi there!
When I am listening to music on my notebook, I do not really need the display. So I was currently thinking about turning it off. Is there an easy way to completely blank out the display? I am running a Zepot Znote 6214w with an nvidia7600 with the latest drivers installed.
thx in advance

This does the trick for me. Immediately turns screen back on mouse or key input.

IPod Nano (2nd Generation) Screen Is Completely Blank

Hi,
When I tried turning on my iPod Nano, it didn't work. The screen was still black and it wouldn't turn on. So I tried toggling the hold button and pressing the center and menu buttons simulatneously but that wouldn't work either. A few nights ago I had accidentally dropped my iPod into the sink and everything but the forward button was working fine. I'm wondering if that has something to do with my iPod not working. It was working perfectly fine up until now..
Please help.
Thanks

Hi, it seems as if you are having the same problem with yours that I am having with mine. My screen is completely blank and my ipod doesnt turn on or anything not even when I hook it to the computer. I have reinstalled everything ad still nothing. I have toggled with it and still nothing and I am getting very annoyed lol. It doesnt even come up on itunes either. I havent dropped in water or anything. Last I knew the battery went dead and something about a corrupted file, while i tried charging it came up. It has worked fine and just today it stopped wowrking and I dont know what to do and hoping someone can help me out.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

The round button that allows me to get out of an app or to move or delete apps has stopped working. Once I am in an app the only way to get out of the app is to power off my ipod completely. Help!

My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
Any tips are very much appreciated.

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it) Or go into an Apple Store.
