IPod Video: Buttons do not work?

Hello -
Recently I picked up my iPod Video to find that I could not turn it on. I tried to flip the switch on top of the iPod from on and off, but nothing happened. I thought it might be out of batteries for some reason, so I charged it for a full night. The charging sign appeared on the iPod, so I thought my problem was solved. However, when I attempted to press any of the buttons or use the click wheel, nothing worked. I tried resetting, restarting, restoring, everything that I possibly could to get it to respond. I've had no luck yet. Anyone know what I can do to fix my iPod? Thanks.

The switch on top is the hold button. It locks the ipod. Make sure that it is not on ( the red is not showing).
With the red not showing, try turning it on.

  • 30GB iPod Classic Buttons do not work

    Hi guys,
    My iPod classic buttons suddenly stopped working today (apart from when I do the reset with Menu + select which is odd).
    I have tried to restore, format, reinstall itunes, reset multiple times but none of this works.
    The iPod is now just stuck on the select language screen that you get to after restoration.
    What do I do?

    I saw that...  And I said that if the Hold swtich is not ON, and you have already done a Restore, it is likely to be a hardware-related problem on the iPod.  It sounds like the iPod is seeing that the Hold switch is ON, even when it is in the OFF position.

  • Ipod video right headphone not working

    i think the prong in my ipod video is out of place, if i hold the jack down and on an angle, it works in both ears but if it moves out of its place, the right headphone wont work. is there a way to fix it by myself? can i move the prong back into place? or do i need to send it in for repairs and if i do will they wipe my hard drive?

    wow. i just came across the same problem just a couple of days ago. My ipod was working fine in the morning and when I got off of work I got no sound out of the right earphone. I bought new headphones cause this has happened before and it was the headphones, but like you said, when pressure was applied to the jack it was only then that I got sound out of both earphones. Ive had my ipod for almost two years now and it is still in really good condition and I dont really know what could have brought this on. Is this a pretty common thing to happen? I had a 3rd generation before this one and had to send it back after a year or so because the battery died, but I did not have this problem with that one and was actually a lot rougher on it. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for the input.

  • Ipod video - buttons won't work

    I opened the ipod video wrong to replace battery- top opened instead of bottom part way. Closed it and opened bottom as supposed to do. Replaced battery. Battery charged and first menu comes up but buttons don't work. Tried re-setting but buttons still don't work.

    time to get it serviced: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/ or take it by your nearest Apple Store and make a Genius Bar appointment.

  • Youtube Post comment & Load more videos buttons will not work, just shows vista loading ring and does nothing

    I have been having this problem since last November.
    When attempting to post a comment on a video in youtube when I click on the post button the button turns grey and then I simply see the Vista loading ring. I can wait hours or even leave my computer over night however it never successfully posts the comment.
    I am logged in to my youtube account and was able to post comments prior to November.
    I am currently using Firefox 20.0.1, I have attempted disabling all of my add on's with no effect.
    I have an additional issue which I believe is related due to the similarities.
    When browsing youtube videos from any channel the "Load more videos" button does the same thing.
    for example the following page http://www.youtube.com/user/BdoubleO100/videos?view=0
    if I scroll to the bottom and hit load more nothing will happen, as such I cannot browse to older videos.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • IPod Video to TV not working

    I can't seem to get my video to display on TV...
    -(I'm using apples cable, and have TV video set to Out, iPod video 60g)
    Nothing appears on screen, and audio is just static
    I've tried on 3 seperate TVs - all via composite inputs.
    The video in question was an iTunes Comedy Central show (Lewis Black)
    Are we unable to view d'loaded vid's on TV? Or is there something I'm missing.
    Thanks,xandra

    Have you tried to play a different video?
    No, don't have
    How about playing a song to see if the audio works?
    no; just static with these cables
    Might simply be a bad cable.
    I think you're right, Chris.
    At this point, I'm pretty sure it's a bum cable.
    Tried the following:
    connected using dock with S-video + audio cabling (this worked fine)
    connected using my older ipod - to composite audio - Also fine, but naturally no video
    Only drag is that I bought the cable as part of the Apple Connection Kit. So exchanging just the cable may be an issue (Circuit City)
    Thanks, xandra

  • IPOD VIDEO 30GP IS NOT WORKING HELP PLEASE :(

    ok ill tell the whole history i bought an ipod 30 gb when i got home with my ipod i plug it to my pc and my pc never detected it (I installed itunes before plug my ipod) and itunes detected either so next day i went to macshore where i bought it they took it and puted it on a idock then my ipod started and charged for 20 mins and the guy of macshore didnt know what to tell me why my ipod didnt work in home and my wiere is not the problem cuz it works fine with my brother's ipod nano
    please if anyone can tell me what to do ill apreciate for life

    You might want to make sure that iTunes 7 was
    properly installed, (Help > About iTunes) and that
    your computer does have USB 2.0 ports.
    Older USB ports on the computer can make it really
    difficult for the iPod to make a connection.
    Is the iPod displaying the Do Not Disconnect screen,
    when it is plugged in?
    how can you check to see if ports are older

    How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    However, it seems as if it may be a hardware problem and need service.

    - Try on another computer

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation is crashing a lot. And the home button is not working.

    Recently my iPod would crash when I go on Youtube or any other app or it would be super slow. My current IOS is 6.1.3. The iPod starts working again when I turn it off and on but only for a couple of minutes. Also the home button does not work when I press it.

    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Next
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • 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
