Ipod only on in hold position

hi, recently i cracked the screen and after replacing it i found that at first it didnt charge, then after i got this to work the ipod only switches on when in the hold position. when i switch it off hold the ipod just switches off.
please help me with this - i have tried replacing parts to no avail.
thank you,
Kyle.

I don't know if this'll work, but it's worth a shot. Try putting it hold, than taking it off of hold, without TOUCHING ANY PART OF THE CLICK WHEEL. This might work. If it doesn't, click "restore" when it is plugged in to your computer.

  • Ipod nano only working in hold position

    recently my friends ipod nano only turns on when it is in the hold position but will not turn on when it's not on hold. It is also only recognized in itunes when it is in hold position. it's basically something I just store music on right now. Is there a way for me to fix this?

  • My iPod is stuck on hold

    my ipod is stuck on hold. i already tried toggling the switch back and forth and nothing happens. even when i turn my hold switch off the padlock icon still shows up. i even restored my ipod. the only way i can listen to songs is if i plug in my FM radio receiver. but it plays everything in order and i'm always stuck listening to the same songs. is there any way i can fix it or should i just wait until i can get enough money to buy an ipod with more space? (i have a 2GB nano)

    the only way to solve this problem is to let it run out of battery life completley

  • My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo

    My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo. It wont connect to iTunes, and charging doen't work. HELP PLEASE!

    Try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes dark for a moment, then the Apple boot logo should reappear. If it doesn't work, it's broken, take it to the Apple store or another authorized repair service.

  • Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up

    Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else>  And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Holder-Position relationship not created during hiring in PA40

    Hi,
    I have an issue right now where the holder-position relationship was not created when I hired a new employee thru PA40. We could correct this via RHINTE00. However, we would like to know first before we run the program on what could be the probable cause why the relationship was not created. All infotype records of the employee were added successfully in the system, it is only the SP relationship in HRP1001 that was not created during hiring. I'm  still trying to replicate it to find the probable cause but still no luck. It only occurred once (quite rare). Since we can't replicate it, may we know when or how the relationship will not be created?
    Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
    Regards,
    Angelo

  • Why is my ipod only allowing one speaker on my headphones to work?

    my ipod is only playing music from one headphone speaker. it is not the headphones because i have tried multiple pairs. any ideas?

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still a problemyou likely have a hardware problem. Likely the headhone jack is bad. Apple will only replace your iPod for a fixed price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places that will replace the headphone jack. Here is onep lace.  Google for others.

    My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • IPod (4GB) stays in "locked" position after downloading latest update

    I am having trouble with my Ipod Mini (4GB). It will not toggle out of the "locked" or "hold" position. I have tried the 5 Rs, and all other suggestions as well. It started this after the most recent update I downloaded.
    I tried resetting it, and it still continues to remain in the "locked" or "hold" position.
    I believe this is a software issue, and after downloading the latest software, it has made my IPod non-functional.
    Please help!

  • Ipod Only fill to part capacity and harddrive clicks and whirrs?

    My Ipod Only fill to part capacity and harddrive clicks and whirrs, everything else works fine...why would this happen? Do i need a new harddrive?. Cheers, Michael

    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now have this problem?
    Did the iPod stay connected before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • IPod only works while plugged into computer!

    Help! My 2Gb iPod nano went through the washing machine, and after a few days of drying out, it only works while plugged into the computer. As soon as I take it out, the screen goes blank. I can access all my music, podcasts and photos while it's plugged in. I have tried the 5 Rs to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

    I also sent my nano through the wash and I found that if you get an ac adapter and plug it in for a few hours you will have battery life. This made me very happy however I have noticed that I can not turn the ipod off unless the hold button is on. Battery life is also not as long but long enough for me. Hope this helps

  • My iPod only plays one song at a time

    I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
    So far, so good.
    The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
    How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.
