Ipod dead (for no apparant reason)

This is very strange. I was sitting in a bus today listening to music when I was interupted and, so, turned off my Ipod. When I reached to turn it back on again (this was about a 5 minute interval) the Ipod wouldn't turn on. It was as if it were dead. So I tried pressing play, I tried resetting, I tried holding down the middle button, I tried switching to hold and then switching back but nothing happened. If any one knows of the problem or has an idea how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks in advance

Press "Menu"+"Select", wait until you see the Apple Logo

Dead for no apparent reason - logic board AGAIN?

So last night, after I had installed all my software updates and restarted successfully, I decided to pop in a new airport card b/c mine had been giving me trouble (and I wanted to find out whther it was the card or the logic board that was failing)
Well. I found out. The thing successfully shut down without a problem, and replaced the card without a problem, plugged it in. hit the power button. nothing. nothing nothing.
not even a hum or a chatter.
I've been poking through the discussions here, and I understand that this is likely a logic board failure.
I've already had my logic board replaced, twice I think. The funny thing is that my poor 'book worked for 3 yrs. without issue and now it's been failing close to once a year.
I'm kind of at a loss as for what to do, I really can't afford to keep getting it fixed like this! Also, I have two exams this week, and yup, of course I take all of my notes on my laptop. Distressing, to say the least.
Well at least that was cathartic.
ibook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7) there's no option for 10.4.8.... also, dead.

If it's the recognized logic board failure, it will usually start up at least. You may have to wait overnight for it to start up again. I did on two of my three logic board failures.
You may know that enough Dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
If you are past the three-year time limit, try calling (800) 767-2775 and ask for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
If the answer from Apple is absolutely, positively, "NO!" DT & T Computer Services in Fremont, California offers the cheapest repair I've found. They have a six-month warranty on the repair.
Good luck!

Iphone 3gs suddenly, totally dead for no apparent reason

No idea what happened- didn't drop it, get it wet, etc. Battery was probably about half charged. Turned it off, now won't charge, or go back on, and isn't recognized by itunes. Could the battery have just quit suddenly? Never had anything like this happen.

Have you tried resetting the iPhone?
This can be done by pressing and holding the On/Off Sleep/Wake button on the top of the phone and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Try this then come back to us..

HT4113 My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason

My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

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

Songs re-downloaded on iPod for no apparent reason when updating

I have a 30gb iPod Photo with the latest firmware and iTunes version. The problem is that whenever I plug in my iPod to update it, many songs that were already on my iPod are re-downloaded to my iPod for no apparent reason, thus lengthening the time it takes my iPod to update by quite a bit (sometimes it's a couple hundred songs that update). Why are these songs being re-downloaded to my iPod when I already had them on there? How can I keep this from happening? Thanks.

Hi Jensen Gelfond,
If you change your iPod settings in iTunes to 'manualy manage songs' it will stop the auto update re-updating your songs.

Please help.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Ipod freezing and restoring for no apparent reason

sometimes my ipod just stops what music it's playing and for no apparent reason ,goes back to the homescreen. when i update the ipod, all the play counts from before the "crash" (not really a crash, but that's the term i'll use) are wiped clean, as if i never played them. What's going on?

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem.

HT1937 I have an imac and an iPad. emails are synched but suddenly, last night, the calendar on my imac was erased for no apparent reason but it is still on my iPad. what has happened and can how do I resynch calendars?

I have an imac and ipad. Last night the calendar was erased for no apparent reason. It remains on my ipad. what happened and how can I get the calendar dates back on my imac?

Hello Chisels,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you want to get content from your iPad to you iMac, there are a few things to try.
First check to the iPad to see if it is syncing with iCloud. To do this, go to Calendar app and click the Calendars button in the upper left hand corner. If it says iCloud, then all you need is to enable iCloud on your iMac if you are running 10.7 Lion or later. That preferences is System Preferences > iCloud, if you are
If on the iPad it says “On my iPad”, the following steps will guide you to get it back your iMac.
First, in iTunes, go to the preferences by clicking in the drop down menu iTunes > Preferences… Go to the device tab and make sure to check the box that says Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing automatically.
Then follow the steps in the following articles to make a backup and the sync the data.

My nano's keep dyinig for no apparent reason.

This is the third Nano that has just stopped working for no apparent reason in the last 6 months. I'll plug it in to charge/sync and when I unplug and go to play it never turns back on. I also get a message that the USB port is no longer recognized by my computer. I've tried other computers and get the same message. I can see perhaps one ipod being currupt but all 3?

Could be a hardware or battery issue. Make an appointment with Apple Genius Bar and see what they can do.

ITunes won't import/play certain songs for no apparent reason

I have certain songs that will not play or import into iTunes for no apparent reason. I've been able to play them in QuickTime, Zune and Windows Media Player but for some reason iTunes won't even acknowledge them. When I click on the MP3 file iTunes will load up but not do anything. I've tried everything and can't figure out the issue.
I had been able to upload the songs to iTunes in the past as well with no issues until one day iTunes just decided they didn't exist anymore.
I'm really at wits end right now because i'd like to upload these songs to my iPod but can't do that now. What could the problem be?

It's probably a problem with the ID tags associated with the files. You can run this free program to fix the tags and see if that makes the tracks usable:

Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

Hi,
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features to repair the Installation of Office, check if the issue persists.
If the issue still exists, I suggest you perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Communicator:

My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason.

My itunes recently lost its library for no apparent reason. The only library backup is an old one that does not reflect my current iPhone, and I do not want to have to re-input all the lyrics for the music I have imported in that time. Does itunes not automatically create a backup of its libraries? Is there anyway to copy this information off the iPhone?
I'm okay to simply drag all my music into a new itunes library, I don't want to go through the process of editing each individual file again, whether its cutting certain start/stop times, or inputting the lyrics for every single song...
Any ideas? I've tried googling a solution for hours. I even tried to system restore. This morning when opening Itunes, it simply told me that it could not locate a library, please select a library.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Centro dies for no apparent reason; it also freezes up seemingly randomly.

My Centro has two issues I can't understand: 1) it sometimes just dies for no apparent reason. The battery is usually fully charged or almost fully charged, and it's just dead. 2) Sometimes when I am receiving a call, I try to answer the call and the phone just freezes. It's usually non-responsive for several minutes, then it comes back to life.
I don't have any 3rd party software on it and the phone is less than 6 months old. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

Try hard reseting and not hotsyncing and see if the problem continues. If it does then it's either the device or the network settings. What carrier and how old of a SIM card?

My iphone is receiving default alert sound every few hours for no apparent reason.

PHone is playing alert every few hours for no apparent reason.

Take a look at this Apple support page on sound problems. If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
You could also try reset all settings in Settings > General > Reset.
