IPod Photo won't work at all...

my iPod Photo used to work just fine for over 6 months now... but suddenly it went dead.
I though that the battery needed to be charged, i plugged it in my powerbook but it wasn't recognized by the computer and it did not start charging. i plugged it in through power adapter and it won't charge again.
I tried to reset my ipod but nothing happens.
I can't restore or update the software, because my computer doesn't recognize ipod at all.
any suggestions?
I would really appreciate any...

Have you tried plugging it into the charger and leaving it overnight? I've read that if the battery is dead, this will happen. You won't see anything until the battery is sufficiently charged. This happened to mine once. My screen stayed off until the Ipod was sufficiently charged and then the screen came back on with a low battery level. Then, I left it on the charger overnight and it was okay.

  • 3 week old 60gb iPod Photo won't work

    I bought a 60gb iPod Photo approximately 3 weeks ago. Very, very happy with my purchase even with the release of the video enabled Pod recently.
    Anyway - this morning it refuses to work. It won't power up. Nothing. Blank screen.
    Have tried all the resetting suggested in Apple support. Nothing. It just won't power up under any circumstances. (Tried plugging it to AC as well)
    Very frustrated.

    Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

  • Ipod classic won't work at all. Help!

    Today, my ipod has stopped working even after being able to use it earlier today. It will turn on only when connected to the wall charger (that is plugged in to an outlet) and won't connect to my mac. It flashes the apple symbol start up screen. I can only reset it when it's plugged into the charger and I can put it mannually into disk mode at that time too, but otherwise it won't work. Any help?

    Ok, I ran into this same issue of a brand new iPod Classic resetting itself continuously about once every 30 seconds, and you could hear the hard clicking sound, with each reset cycle. I had to do the following to get it to work ok.
    10 Simple Steps To Fix Your iPod That Is Stuck In A Continuous Reset Loop:
    1) While the iPod was resetting itself over and over (continuously resetting itself), press the Play/Pause button and the center select button simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, and it will display that it is now in disk mode.
    2) Start up iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPod to your computer with the USB cable.
    3) Click on the iPod in the left pane, select "Restore" to restore it to its original blank state. Follow the prompts to continue.
    4) When the computer completes the Restore update, and it displays a message saying that the iPod will disappear and reappear in iTunes in a minute, immediately disconnect the iPod (unplug it from your USB cable).
    5) On the iPod, you should see the main menu, in a few seconds. Pick a couple of settings to update for example the English language, and Eastern Time Zone (New York or Washington, DC), etc.
    6) Press and hold the Play/Pause button to power the iPod off.
    7) Re-connect the iPod to your comptuer with the USB cable.
    8) Start syncing using iTunes, as normal.
    9) All should be well.
    10) Remember to always click on Eject in iTunes, and waiting for visual confirmation, before disconnecting the iPod.
    The End. Whew!

  • My iPod 5G won't work at all

    I had an iPod 5G before and something happened to it and it just wouldn't work, and Apple replaced the iPod. This was back in 2013, I think.
    I was charging my iPod this morning- the charger is a little broken (the white plastic covering has come off a tiny bit at the top but the wiring is fine and it's worked fine for the last few days, and I was going to buy a new one tomorrow.) It was charging fine, then suddenly it went black and the 'Plug your charger in' sign came up. I removed the charger, then re-plugged it in. It said it was charging.
    10 minutes later, I went to see how it was getting on. Nothing. Not even the 'Charging' symbol. It's just a black screen. I've tried holding in the buttons together and separate but no response.
    I had not yet updated to iOS 8 because it had cleared my friends iPods, and I was in the process of backing all my photos and videos up. However, my friend has not updated either and is experiencing no problems.
    My friend has said I can use her charger tomorrow and see if that makes it work, but I am worried since nothing is coming up on the screen at all.
    Has anyone experienced something similar?

    - 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 another cable

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - 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.

  • Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
    The trick is finding what data.
    By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
    Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
    Back up the system first of course,
    Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • My ipod won't work at all

    I plugged it into a universal car charger that had a switch on it for different devices. I didn't realize it wasn't on the "usb" option when it was plugged in. Now it won't work at all, do I need a new battery, hard drive or both?

    If you have a USB power supply for the iPod try plugging it in that and let it sit for a while. Your battery may need some charging before it will come alive again. This happens when a battery gets depleted to a point that it needs a lot of charging to come back. If you don't have a USB supply plug it in your USB port and let it charge for a few hours. It will take longer using the USB port.
    If this doesn't help you will need to consider getting your battery replaced.

  • Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

    I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

    I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
    I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
    Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • IPod charger won't work

    It was fine when I went to bed and this morning it wouldent work it still looks the same but it won't work at all..

    Not Charge
    - See:     
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • IPod function won't work on iPhone 4

    My iPod application won't work on the iPhone 4. I can play YouTube videos, listen to previews on iTunes, but for some reason whenever I hit the play button on a song in iTunes it doesn't start on any of my songs. I've tried the lyrics app to play music, I've tried powering off and restoring it by holding home and power down and still nothing, help!

    Read in another thread a solution that worked for me. Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
    I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

  • IPod Photo won't charge with Power Adapter but charges through Computer....

    Hi got this problem... searched the discussion board but didn't find any satisfying answers.
    Hope somebody can help me out here.
    Problem description:
    My iPod photo won't charge using the power adapter from Apple. Bought a second one won't work, used different cables won't work either.
    however it does charge via the USB port of the computer.
    And it also charges via the car stereo plug (forgot the real name but it's from the apple store).
    So does anybody have a similar problem? Could it be the iPod that is defective and also destroyes the Power Adapter maybe?
    didn't try a different iPod to charge yet. So that's one thing left to try for verification.
    untill then maybe somebody knows help, and it might be just a little setting thing.
    Thanks for the Help

    hi Rene!
    hmmmm. it sounds like you've already tried most of the things listed on these documents:
    iPod's battery doesn't charge
    iPod: Troubleshooting the Apple iPod AC Adapter
    iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
    from what you're reporting, i'm currently most suspicious of the electrical outlets you're using with those adapters. if you try switching it to a different outlet, does it charge properly then?
