Ipod Nano Buttons not working??

I have an Ipod nano 1st generation atleast thats what my Brother says.
But any way, the Buttons stopped working after I went on a camping trip about 2 weeks ago. my friend was using it and when I tried to turn it on when I got home, it didn't work.
Any Ideas on what I should do??

This happened to me too, don't worry, it can be fixed. Hold down the center button and the menu button until you see the apple logo, then you can let go, it should unfreeze your ipod and make the buttons work again.

IPod home button not working

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.

Macbook pro ipod nano does not work after plugging in

I plugged in an iPod nano to my MacBook Pro which has two operating systems, one is OS and the other is Windows. I don't know which generation the iPod nano is. The PC side of the MacBook Pro is working but the OS side is not working. It allows me to login and then shows a blank white screen with the pointer cursor.
The iPod nano was plugged in to add music from iTunes. I plugged it in, opened iTunes, and the iPod nano was not recognized on iTunes or on the computer in Finder. I unplugged the iPod nano and closed iTunes. When I opened iTunes again, it gave me an error and will not open iTunes again. I restarted the computer and this is when the OS side stopped working and the PC side continued to work. I was able to load OS in Safe Mode though.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks!

I had the same issue...of course i went swimming with my iPod but still. If it is the battery that is giving you trouble then go back to your local apple store or call them. Ask what the most reliable place for iPod repair is. A second option (what I did) is to go into the iPod recycle program. They take your old iPod and either give you a discount on the new one of the same style or a discount on a new one of the 3rd gen. I recomend the first option if your iPod is unused.

Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
How do I fix this problem?

That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

IPod Nano will not work

My daughter has had her iPod Nano 8GB for about 10 months and now it will only play when its attached to the computer. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

I guess you've tried the obvious - power down the pc, and then power back up (my pc sometimes shuts down the USB ports for no reason). Try connecting the one that won't work first, I've also experiences one ipod disabling another from connecting. Next try resetting the ipod (toggle the hold switch, then press middle and top buttons together for about 6 seconds).

Ipod hold button not working

I sent my ipod to apple to get the battery replaced.
On receiving the ipod back i realised the hold button did not work and that the ipod was continuosly crashing when on the move and downloading songs from i tunes.
I contacted the support team thinking i could send it back under the 90 day gurantee (because it was apple who sent me the new ipod back), but because i purchased it 2004 they said I had to purchase some apple protection at £39.99, is this true?
Even though it was apple who sent me a brand new ipod back!!

Have you tried resetting or restoring the iPod?

My new ipod nano does not work when you turn off the computer

I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

Hello pepi95,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

2nd Gen iPod center button not working

I have tried just about everything to get the center button to work. It has stopped on me once before, but it was a long time ago and I can't remember what I did to fix it.
Every other button works just not the center button. I have tried restoring it, resetting it, and toggling the hold button. But to no avail it will not work.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
CAUTION
Before you restore/update the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

HT201322 iPod home button not working

Hi my iPod touch 4 GEN home button is not working, I have tried everything it said to fix it like hold the top button to peer it off but then hold the home button for 10-15 sec until it goes back to the home screen which worked but right after that, when I go to a app, the home button will instantly stop working. What should I do? Get a the new iPod 5 or any ways to fix it.

I'd take it back - especially if you bought it recently. Most of the time they're REALLY NICE about taking care of the products.
If they find that it's because of misuse though, you're on your own

IPod Nano - volume not working

My 3rd generation Ipod Nano's volume stopped working after a software update. I have tried the 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore
1. I checked the head-phones
2. I tried resetting my iPod.
3. I removed and reinstalled itunes to my computer.
4. I finally restored my Ipod Nano to it's original settings and the volume still does not work.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

Nano buttons not working

My first generation nano's buttons won't work. I went through the five steps from the support website and it did reset when I held down the menu and select buttons but now its stuck. It turns on when I toggle the hold switch but won't let me scroll or select. Help, please.

TRY TAKING IT TO THE APPLE STORE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANY OF THE NORMAL IPOD FIXING TRICKS WILL WORK.

IPod Touch Buttons Not Working

My iPod Touch 4th Generation's (White, 8GB) power button and volume control buttons are not working. The Home Button works fine. I have tried to restart the device and I have restored the device but that has not solved the problem.The iPod is not very old, has not been dropped and is in a case. Please help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
