Ipod will not reset when pushing button(s)

When i push the volume down and power button for 8 seconds or longer, nothing happens except volume goes down. Is it frozen?

Hey blaheha,
Thanks for the question. You may find the following information helpful:
How to reset iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My ipod mini fell too the other day in school. I picked it up and the screen was blank. I've tried to reset it and I've hooked it up to the computer. Itunes wont come up and it has the battery icon less than half full. But when I charge my ipod to the wall or on my radio, press the button down for 10-15 seconds, the screen lights up and it works normally. I just got it fixed almost year ago when this exact thing happened, and i the warrenty is done. so someone please reply this with the solution. i don't feel like buying a new ipod, i rather just pay 70 dollars to send it in and get it fixed.

Sounds like a major hardware problem.
If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

My ipod will not reset after several attempts

I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
Thanks

Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

IPod will not reset no way, no how, but works.

5th gen 30 GB iPod about two months old will not reset. It isn't frozen, but it will not reset. I've done everything except restoring it and I'm hesitating to do that because I'm not sure how to back up all the music on the iPod to iTunes. There are more songs on the iPod than are on the computer. Is there some way to copy all the songs from the iPod onto the computer???

If it's not frozen, why would you need to reset it?

Ipod nano 3rd generation , blank screen when attached to computer, ipod will not reset??? any help please?

Hi there,

Ipod was fully charged.
Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
Kind Regards

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

Ipod will not charge when using 30 pin to lighting connector

Have a victory vision with a 30 pin connecter bought the apple lightning coverter and when hooked to the bike it will not charge

- Contact Bose/go to their support site to see if Bose says it will work. Also look for a firmware update for the Bose.
- What model/iOS is on the old iPod that works. Sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility
- Sometimes this works:
- Reset the Bose unit
- 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.
- 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.
BTW the the Lightning adopter does support audio if the dock supports it.

Ipod will not reset or restore

I have tried to reset my ipod at least 50 times, and have download the update in an effort to restore the ipod but my computer doesn't recognize my ipod so the software cannot d/l to the ipod, what can I do, is it a software issue or a hardware issue. What can I do to get it going, if anything?
Ipod 5th Generation Windows XP

I am having the same issue. The computer will not recognize the ipod. I've seen both the folder with exclamation point and sad ipod icons. When I connect it to the computer I get either the apple or the do not disconnect screen. It sounds like the ipod is trying to start up but then there is a clicking noise and it starts up again. Is this a battery issue? None of the home remedies have worked (and I HAVE read and tried them). Where or how can I get this fixed?
Thanks.

IPod will not charge when iTunes in open in Windows 2000

I have a problem with WIndows 2000 iTunes install where the iPod will connect but as soon as it has finished synchronizing the iPod will go back to the main screen and stop charging. I saw several posts on this with no resolution.
I dont have a fix yet but I do have a work around.
Fire up iTunes and plug in the iPOD. It will recognize it and sync. Then select Options and in the iPOD tab uncheck the box which says " launch iTunes when iPOD connects" or something similar. Apply and Exit from options menu.
iTunes will resync with the iPOD. You can now disconnect the iPOD and close iTunes.
Now if you connect the iPOD, iTunes will NOT launch and the iPOD will charge fine, at least mine does:-)
If you now run iTunes it will still connect automatically with the iPOD as before and do all the usual stuff. The only downside to this workaround is that you have to manually start iTunes ( hardly a big deal) and close it and disconnect then reconnect the iPOD ( or just connect it and not start iTunes) for it to charge.
Works for me.
There was a lot of black magic quoted on this support site relating to buying chargers, third party or otherwise and USB not having enough power on thursdays with a 7 in the date or having to use a powered hub of a particular color , alien interference etc etc. All bogus.
Its an Apple software problem and I hope they fix it in the next iTunes release.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, but I finally found what was the problem.
It seems to be related to Itunes config and Nano firmware. I found another post talking about this "Topic: Self-ejecting Nano".
I had to enable disk use in ipod options, but this causes me to manually eject Nano.

My Ipod will not reset.

Is it time for a new device? Nothing I do clears the screen. The last thing I was doing was to update the software. Now all that is on the screen is the iTunes logo and a cable pointing to the logo. It will not turn off or reset.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Dvr will not pause when the button is pressed.

I have been a fios customer for a couple of months. However I find that there are quirks that are annoying me. When I press the Pause button the DVR does not pause immediately. I have to press it numerous times and even then it is partially successful. Is there a fix for this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is nothing that they can do remotely to affect your remote. Do you have more than one box in the house? If yes, try the remote in another room. All Verizon remotes will work all Verizon STB's. (they are just programmed for specific tv's for the volume/power). If the remote works in another room, the problems no with the remote. If it doesnt work, then I would try new batteries (no telling how long those "phillips" batteries have been sitting).
If you eliminate the remote. Then the next thing to check is.. Do you have a Plasma screen in the room with the DVR? If yes, make sure that your STB is at least 2 feet from the screen. Otherwise the Plasma screen may interfear with remote functions.
As for the DVR not working. What is is not doing?

HELP! ipod will not reset

I was listening to my ipod before i went to bed last night and everything was fine. When i unplugged it this morning and tried to play a song, the screen faded and the ipod shut down. I then plugged it in and it worked. When i unplugged it, it showed a fully charged battery and continued to play the song, but when i tried to play a new song, it faded and died again.
everytime i try to reset it without being plugged in, it starts to reboot and then fades and dies. when i plug it in through my usb port on the computer, it tries to reboot, shuts down and then tries to reboot again ... over and over again.
anything i can do?! PLEASE!
thanks,
