IPOD STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY

Any help would be much appreciated!
My Ipod Nano's battery ran down, and when i went to recharge it, it is completely dead. I have tried all the steps mentioned regarding resetting etc, and i even took it to an apple retailer, who could not get it to work at all.
Do I have to assume it is gone, and get a new one after 12 months of use. (yes, it's out of warranty, typical).
Thanks for any advice!

Try charging it for at least 30 minutes (a wall charger works best for this) and then Reset it while it is still connected to power. You may have to try this several times. Once it revives, fully charge it and then Restore it in iTunes.
If this does not work why not try replacing the battery? If you have heavily used this iPod the battery may be dead.

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.

  • Ipod stopped working with iTrip

    My iPod stopped working with my iTrip very mysteriously. I left it in the car for 2 hours (as I always do at work) and it worked when I left and wouldn't work when I went to drive home. I've replaced the iTrip and know that it works with another iPod (identical to mine and bought at the exact same time).
    Does anyone know if there's way to fix this?

    I just started having issues with my iPod as well. It is paired with my JVC receiver through an iPod adapter. I can normally control my iPod through the JVC once it is connected, but the last few days I have had to control it through the iPod itself. The screen on the receiver says connecting, but never does unless I do manually.( pressing play on the iPod). I can still see song titles, but no control. IE pause, next or previous songs. Nothing seems to work, and have treid powering both off then back on. Is this an update issue that wont let them pair anymore? I also tried a friends iphone and seemed to work fine with the JVC, so the receiver is not the issue.

  • 5th Gen ipod stopped working , connected to Alpine CDA117

    Out of nowhere the ipod stopped working when hooked directly to the Alpine CDA117.
    It worked this morning when I pulled out of the driveway and drove to my shop . I did not unplug it when I arrived, it stayed in the car hooked up as it does often.
    When I got back in the car about 2 hours later it was not working . It recognizes the ipod , shows the song , playlist etc but no volume and it's not "playing" so it's sort of on "pause", but not showing that it really is "paused"
    Apple looked at it , thought there might be some dust on the contacts , cleaned it , tried it in the store and it worked fine both with earbuds and through speakers.
    It works in my wife's car via the same hookup.
    My wife's ipod works in my car hooked up just as mine would be .
    The guy at Best Buy who hooked it up , hooked his up and his worked fine.
    Firmware is up to date .
    I literally did nothing to it once I arrived and my shop and then got back in the car 2 hours later.
    Help me !
    I have a 3 hour ride up to the Berkshires on Saturday and will go bonkers without my music .

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

    My iPod stop working...
    I load my pictures in and now my screen shows only red letters and nothing else!!!
    what should I do?
    pachy

    I did try that by doing everything the manual book said:
    1. connect iPod to a power outlet using the iPod Power adapter (I did)
    2. Toggle the hold switch on and off...yes I did turn on and off and on and off..
    3. press and hold the select and menu buttons..for at least 6 seconds (I did 1 min and nothing happened still) until the apple logo appears.
    Besides the software failure, the power is still on ... and I CAN'T TURN IT OFF neither!!!!!
    what other alternate tips or troubleshooting ...are there that will solve this problem? Thank you
    Do I really need to make an appointment and go down to Genius BAR?
    Thank you again and please help me

    My ipod stopped working a few years ago, it said i had to connect to itunes to restore, as i then got an iphone i never bothered to sort it, I am now trying to and hwne i connect to itunes it says it must be restored, After ive restored it nothing happens, at first it says "ipod has been restored and is restarting, it will appear in the itunes window once it has restarted" so i wait but nothing happens and eventually it comes up with the same message telling me the ipod needs to be restored?

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

  • IPod stopped working long after exposed to water

    My ipod was half submerged in water, so I dried it off and pressed the home button (I figured if it was turned off pressing the home button wouldnt turn it on and wouldn't fry it) and it worked fine. Until I plugged in the headphones and then the screen stopped working but the iPod itself did. Then the next day it worked completely fine, but today it doesn't work at all. What can I do to fix it?

    Take it to the Apple Store where you can exchange it for a similar but refurbished phone of the same model and year. Look in the following for costs:

    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.

  • I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64bit Windows 7 and it stopped working completely. So I tried deleting and installing all over again and haven't been able to reinstall it since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums

    I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64 bit windows 7. It stopped working so I deleted all files and tried to reinstall and haven't been able to since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums and nothing seems to work. The installation will not move past the "publishing product information" point. After being stuck there for a while this error message appears:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86"', Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD
    I hope someone is able to help me with this.

    Did you already try what bnoir suggested in this post about error 0x800736FD:
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?
    This thread might help as well, suggestion provided by bnoir:
    In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
    Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
    If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
    [Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
    Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
