Said it was fully charged and was able to put music on it and listen to it. Later that day I turned it on and it just continued to flash on and off and the same problems are occuring. Any idea whats going on??

    My IPOD keeps flashing on and off how do i fix it

    Try:

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

  • The apple logo on my ipod keeps flashing on and off?

    I have not used my ipod in a while and knew that the battery was completely dead.  I have had it plugged into my computer for over 3 hours and it is still not working.  It is flashing between the message, "Please Wait...Very Low Battery" and then the apple logo comes on for a few seconds and then clicks and then disappears...I have tried the reset thing (toggle on/off with hold and then press the center and menu button) and it is still not turning on!!  Any suggestions?

    If it is just a fully discharged battery, you need to connect it for about 30 minutes before the iPod Screen comes back to life and show the charging symbols.
    But since you have plug it in for 3 hours, and there is no sign of life, then have the battery replaced, connecting it for 30 hours is also of no use, as the battery wont charge, and the moment you disconnect it, the iPod will go off.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod flashing on and off

    Alright, I had to do a full restore on my computer and lost everything. Plugged the Ipod in afterwards, and lost all my songs/movies. Well now it told me that I had to download the update in order to put new songs on. I did. Now the ipod is flashing on and off and wont let me do anything. I tried reseting it, and it turns off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it goes right back to flashing on and off. I need some help. Anything anyone could tell me?

    I have the same problem, created first when iPod updated on Friday night. I returned the month old iPod for a new one, installed and was downloading library when the new Ipod went into the same catastrophic failure.
    HERE IS THE FIX: (walked through w/ Apple Store Rep)
    1. Make sure there is power to the iPod (with all the cycling, your battery is probably drained).
    2. Toggle the Lock Switch on top of the iPod 3 or 4 times, then hold Menu and Center Button down simultaneously (same as doing a reset).
    3. When the Apple Logo reappears, hold the Center Button and the Play/Pause button down simultaneouly.
    4. If all goes well, the screen should say, at the very top, Disk Drive Mode (or something to that effect).
    5. If you have been running off computer power, disconnect then reconnect the usb cable.
    6. Open iTunes
    If all goes well, the iPod connection should appear on the iTunes screen with the opportunity to Restore.
    7. Restore your iPod to factory settings. Once the download is complete, you should be back in business.

  • My nano keeps flashing on and off

    my brand new nano fresh out of the box is flashing on and off when it is connected to my computer. It will not turn on at all when not attached to the computer. when it is attached to the computer it only flashes the black apple it will not do anything else. I am installing this new ipod on my dad's computer (for him) it is running on windows XP (PC).

    Hello tacole,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano was not responsive.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
    I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant for your iPod nano model if possible:

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

    I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order

  • Ipod classic try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.

    Ipod classic I try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
    I can't reset and it doesn't show it charging. Not recognized by computer. 
    It was working just fine in my car, I stopped for an hour, and when I came back it just started the flashing thing.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Reset it this way.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    If it is  still not working.
    Then Restore it using iTunes
    Good Luck!

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!
