Ipod will not work off charger

My ipod works fine while on the charger but when off it just will not work, I have to let it sit 2 days for it to work again on the charger so what is it

I just got help from the Apple Support on this. This just happened to me and thought I would share the solution. Hope you have saved all your iPod data because you have to restore all data.
Step 1: Toggle the on/off hold switch and then restart (center and menu together) until the screen goes blank.
Step 2: Immediately, while the screen is blank, hold the center and pause/play. That turns the iPod in disk mode.
Step 3: Plug in your iPod into your computer to restore it.
Problem solved...

    Try:

    - 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 come off of lock

    For whatever reason my iPod will not come off of lock even if it's not in the lock position. Since lock won't come off obviously I can't listen to my iPod or restart it. It charges perfectly fine when I hook it up to my mac. I restored it and it still won't get off of lock. I have no idea why it isn't working. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree with the person who said to flip the switch back and forth 10-12 times....
    but your hold switch assembly could be on the way out if this issue persists....

  • HT2999 why my ipod will not read a charger?

    why my ipod will not read a charger?

    not read a charger?
    Do you mean when you plug it in it doesn't charge? If so, check your charger and swap it out with another. If the issue persists iwth another charger then it's a problem with your device. take it into the local apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Ipod will not turn off

    my ipod will not shut off. any suggestioins?

    No you are CLEARLY not alone. BUT, PLEASE do not get sidetracked with superflouous issues. It does not matter what you used to synch your iPod nor does it matter how you connected; when you bought it; or any of 5 million other distractions. The point is (believe me I've DONE the research and if you don't believe me, feel free to read ALL of the Google entires!) after you synch your nano (and also your 5th Gen Video iPod) you will NOT be able to turn it off the normal way. If you try to play a podcast at this point it will likely freeze your Nano (but that's a whole NEW thread with another giga-thousand people upset with a lack of response...) IF you mash the Menu and Center buttons you can reset the unit and likely gain control over it again. If that makes you happy - go for it. As far as I am concerned, this is NOT an answer. I want a fix. How about you?

  • Older ipod will not work under itunes11

    My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

    i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

  • IPod will not shut off, or perform any of the 5 R's

    My iPod will not shut off, or perform any of the 5 R's. The screen is illuminated with no logo's at all. I try to reset the ipod with menu and select buttons and it beeps after 7-10 secs. This happened when i inadvertantely unplugged the ipod while trying to upgrade. I thought the upgrade had stopped or was having a problem. Can someone please help before i have a very expensive 60 gig frisbee!!!

    Try to set it to Disk Mode, and re-do de restore.

    My 6th generation nano apears to have locked up.  The screen is on, but Ipod does nothing.  The Ipod will not turn off, and a buzzing noise is heard through the headphones.  What can I do??

    Hello houseman06
    Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

  • IPod will not turn off after being used as an external HD in Windows

    I have disabled the option to have Itunes open when I connect my Ipod and I turned off the iTunesHelper in msconfig. This allows me to use my Ipod as an external HD without interference by iTunes. I have found that since upgrading to Ipod firmware 1.1.1, after I disconnect my Ipod using the Safely Remove hardware option in Windows XP SP2 my iPod will not turn off. I just turn on the lock, and let sleep mode set in after 2 minutes.
    This only occurs if I connect the iPod as an external HD and does not occur when I connect the iPod with iTunes open to sync my music library. The problem started with firmware 1.1.1. Is anyone also having this issue, and if so, is there a known solution?

    If you are not past the 2 weeks return period you can just return it.. for sure the TC is not ideal when you want something to store files.. the fundamental issue is lack of backup. The TC cannot back itself up. Nor can Time Machine in the computer backup network drives.
    To mount the TC disk in finder.
    Use Go, Connect to server. in the top menu.
    Type in AFP://TCname.local or TCIPaddress. (where TCname.local is the correct network name of the TC.. ie not its name as typed in, if it includes spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe. You need to find the actual network name from network utility netstat scan or better still use proper naming on the TC.
    Local is the default domain and helps.
    If the TC is in router mode the IP is static and is better used than the name.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 for example with default IP is far superior way to identify a network resource.
    The disk password will be requested. Add it to your keychain.
    It is better to load files to a DMG or sparsebundle.. See Pondini for info.

  • Ipod shuffle will turn on. then it turns back off and will not work. it charges but will not play any music?

    My ipod shuffle will not work. it turns on briefly then turns off and i cannot hear anything. my earbuds work, it holds a charge, but no sound?

    I would start by working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

  • IPod will not work with docking stations

    My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
    Any ideas??

  • 30GB ipod will not turn off

    Everything seems to be working fine, music, videos, connection to itunes, and no sudden trauma has happened to the ipod. It just will not turn off and I am wondering if there is another way besides holding the pause/play button. Should I reset all settings? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset your iPod - then see if it'll turn off.
    Cheers!
