Ipod just generally not workin

This morning I decided to charge my IPOD so plugged IPOD in to USB, no response. So checked if it was on My Computer, not on My Computer, was already in a stressed mood as I had been ill the night before. So started wiggling the IPOD around in the USB, still no response. So being stressed I tried jamming it in as I have had problems with a faulty USB before. This broke the thing on the IPOD you put into the USB, only slightly broken though. So took it out, tried playing it, was fine. So I put it back into USB still wasnt responding.Next, I read a few articles on this website, tried a few solutions people were talking about. I downloaded new itunes 7.0.1 and the new updater. The new updater told me to go on APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE. So I did said, everything was updated. The nearest Apple Shop is quite far away from me and I have had it for a year and 2 months. So I havn't got any idea on what to do. Hopefully someone can help me

1. Check that USB port is working by plugging something else into it.
2. Try charging from another port or adaptor if you've got one or can borrow one.
3. The new updater told me to go on APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE. So I did said, everything was updated. Does this mean that it updated OK? If so then it must be being recognised, so what's the problem now; it's recognised and updates but doesn't charge or what?
4. This broke the thing on the IPOD you put into the USB, only slightly broken though. This sounds like you may have broken the connector - if that's true then you'll probably need to invest in one of the rather nice Shuffles and junk this one.

  • IPod nano 2G not workin!!!!

    hi folks.
    had this ipod for a while now. was charging it this mornin and all was good.
    now it wont turn on, ive tried charing it again
    and its not workin, iTunes wont even open.
    any idea on whats wrong/how to fix it?

    This is the Fifth Generation (aka "Video") iPod group by the way.
    First step is to do a reset on the iPod. Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 10-15 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
    Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.
    So start with that.

  • Disk Read Errors - IPod just does NOT want to work

    Alright, this thing is driving me CRAZY. It was working FINE until tonight when I accidentally synced and erased everything. Ugh.
    Anyways, I've attempted multiple times to restore my IPod to the factory settings, and every time I get the same message: "Attempting to copy to the disk Ashley's IP' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I even downloaded the IPod reset program and I get the same message. What is going on?? Ugh, I just want this thing fixed...

    I have the same problem with ventrilo. Its very annoying, sometimes it works fine then 2 sec later it all distorted and sounds like crap. I'm not happy with this product thus far, it should not be this difficult to fix a mic on a pc. :smileyindifferent:

  • Connection timeout / Back up Failure / Just generally not working.

    I'm loosing the will to live with this now.
    it worked perfectly for 2 weeks and now suddenly if i leave the room with the time capsule in my internet stops loading web pages and messengers disconnect, then the airport starts confusing me.
    ive taken some screen shots to show what is happening when i run the diagnostic and trying to connect in the network preferences.
    im using a router my ISP is Virgin/NTL from that its connected to the time capsule by Ethernet and that is all.
    i got a new macbook and had erased the backups on the time capsule but now it wont back up on my new one.
    here are the screenshots anyway:

    Sat in the same room a little further back from the time capsule I lost my connection again,
    well
    it says its connected and has an IP address but web pages dont load and messengers log out.
    i tried running the diagnostic and it said "scanning" and just didn't do anything for at least 3/5 minutes, i stopped it.

  • Ipod just not responding

    Hi can anyone please help me. My ipod just is not responding. i have tried resetting it and when i do the apple symbol shows up and then disappears and then the ipod shuts down again and reboots with the apple symbol visible again. i have tried to even restore the ipod but the updater wont allow me to click on the icon as the ipod does not stay on long enough for the computer to recognise it. HELP!!!

    See these.
    iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.
    I think though that if the iPod doesn't stay connected to the computer long enough for you to restore it, it will need service.
    You can't put into disk mode?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

    Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee.  One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
    The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase.  Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window).  Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID.  This gets you to your Account Information screen.  Find Purchase History and click See All.  On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
    If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

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

    I can't tell which iPod nano model you are describing.  The EarPods listing at the Apple Store
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
    Says (under Compatibility) that iPod nano 4th gen and later are supported ["Requires software version 1.0.3 for iPod nano (4th generation)"].  If your nano is 3rd gen or earlier, it will still work for audio, but some control buttons may not work.
