IPod will no longer play music!!!

I have the 30 gigabyte black iPod color. Yesterday, it stopped playing music out of the earphone jack and through the hookup on the bottom. No music comes out at all! I really don't have any other information, I restored it today because I thought maybe I accidentally messed with the settings, but that did not solve the problem. Please help me, thanks in advance

I have the exact same iPod and the same exact problem. I bought mine in the summer of 2006 and it died about 2 weeks ago. I have never dropped it but I do play it in the car all the time. I leave it in the car in the summer so I wonder if the heat go to it.
The screen still works, it will still sync with my pc (itunes) and it still "clicks" when I scroll through menu options. I paid something like $350 for it 2 years ago and I am really upset that it looks like I have to go and spend another $250 for a new one. I reset it as well with no luck.
I wish it had a diagnostic utility of some sort.

  • I have a 2nd gen ipod touch. Recently I updated the OS from original second gen to the latest available which is software 4.2.1. Since doing this the ipod will no longer play music, videos, or stream online content. Any ideas how to fix it please?

    I have tried restoring factory settings and loading the preferences I saved before updating the OS.
    Neither of these methods have any effect.
    The ipod also seemingly prevents you from restarting the ipod using the earlier OS software when resorting from recovery mode.
    Any other ideas?
    Cheers

    - Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    - When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I think a few have.
    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off 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.

  • My iPod touch will no longer play music or videos

    I recently upgraded to ios 4. While a little slower, it was working OK.
    Last night I bought a song from iTunes, normally I buy through my Mac, but I am not at home.
    It stopped playing music. It is now slow, very very slow.
    When I select the music icon, it takes a very long time to display the song list, it then becomes totally unresponsive, and finally goes back to the home screen.
    Same behavior for video.
    Any suggestions?

    Managed to finally factory reset the unit (see my other post).
    Should be OK now.

  • BB will no longer play music through external headset or external speakers

    Suddenly I found I was no longer able to play music through any external speaker or headset on my BB Torch. No one seems to be able to solve problem. BB Replaced but same problem. Complete factory reset solves problem but as soon as anything is restored, problem returns. Interestingly, if I make a call the headset works fine. If I play music, go to menu and try to 'activate headset' I get new window with headset and red dot on it. Coupled with this problem I notice if I go to 'set-up' and select 'email accounts' it will not open. I have had to activate all my accounts via my laptop. Anyone any ideas!

    I have the same problem. Just started yesterday.  I have owned two blackberry's and i'm beginning to think that they are a bet overrated.

  • After upgrading to iOS 7, my phone will no longer play music through my uconnect car audio, even after re-pairing... any ideas?

    I have a 2012 jeep and my 4s was perfect for playing music from my phone.  After upgrading to iOS 7, the uconnect no longer will play music thru the bluetooth...  The phone works fine and I have re-paired the device to the uconnect, but it still doesn't work.  Any ideas or settings that I can change on the phone?  Uconnect basically says that it is, what it is.. they cant change the settings on the stereo....  HELP!

    In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

  • My iPhone 4 will no longer play music in my car. I need help.

    For over two years, my iphone has played music when hooked up to the ipod connector in hmy car. When I plug it in, the "charging not supported..." box still pops up but no music plays. My sister's phone will play in my car, so it is not a problem with anything in my car. And when I tried to play my phone in her car, it would charge, but again, no music would play. The problem has to be with my phone, but I haven't done anything different with it. Any ideas or suggestions to fix this?

    Standard steps from the manual are to restart, reset, restore.  which of those have you done?

  • Third Generation iPod will no longer update music

    After updating to iTunes 7 and finding that this meant i could no longer connect my ipod i found instructions on how to downgrade back to iTunes 6. many people who were experiencing the same problems found that this worked however it has not done so for me. although iTunes recognises my iPod, when i try to put my music onto it, it regularly freezes and wipes my ipod. i have even tried downloading my music album by album and it doesnt seem to matter how few songs i attempt to put on at any one time it still freezes. any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    The Computer did recognise it and said it had malfunctioned, it is still saying that now. iTunes 7 did recognise that an ipod was connected but said to restore it to factory settings, however when i clicked ok it wood disconnect my ipod from iTunes.

  • IPhone  no longer plays music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker.

    my phone will no longer play music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker. Also when I plug in my iPhone to a jack that uses a power amp like external speakers it works fine. I have no idea whats going on i've restored it twice and still nothing.

    did you update your phone?

  • Can no longer play music through headphones

    My iPhone will no longer play music (spotify, iTunes, radio, podcast) when using headphones. I recently upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

    I would first treat it like a hardware issue, take a cotton swab and remove some of the cotton and stick it in the headphone jack to clear out any pocket lint that might be interfering with the connectivity of the headphones. If you are still having a problem I would contact Apple.

  • Lots of my music will no longer play after latest update

    Hello,
    I have a lot of music that will no longer play in my iTunes after the last update.  it doesnt happen with all my music, but a lot of it, and as far as i can tell, movies and tv shows are still good.  when i click on the song, it just skips forward over a lot of songs that it cant play until it gets to the next one that it can play.  to make things stranger, i synced my iPad to my iTunes, and the ones that cant play in my iTunes will play on my iPad.  when i try to open the song using QuickTime player, i get the following error: error -2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie
    what is a bad movie atom and why am i getting the error when trying to play an audio file, and why wont they play in my iTunes but will on my iPad.
    System: Win7 Ultimate 64bit AMD A10 8GB RAM
    iTunes : 11.4.0.18
    QuickTime : 7.7.5
    any ideas?
    thanks

    The contacts is saved on Google or Backup Assistance (Whichever you are using) and you can use ES File Explorer like I posted at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707 , so you really wont loose anything but apps data...
    BUT, I am not saying that you do this if that is your only issue...  I was just pointing out that this is a good ideal to do with any Major Updates..
    If the contacts isnt linked again you should get the option to link them again once the OS boots, normally it checks and then prompt to link again..

  • ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

  • My ipod touch will not stop playing music

    My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

    FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
