Ipod won't work at all. Help Please!

My 30 GB ipod is completely dead. it won't turn on, the computer won't recongnize it, and it won't work on a docking station. I've tried to reset it and it won't do anything. does anyone know what to do? any advice would be appreciated

Keep trying to reset it (see instructions below) making sure you are using the hold button as part of the reset routine. Also try resetting it while cabled to the computer for power...
Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 15-30 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.

My ipod won't work at all

I plugged it into a universal car charger that had a switch on it for different devices. I didn't realize it wasn't on the "usb" option when it was plugged in. Now it won't work at all, do I need a new battery, hard drive or both?

If you have a USB power supply for the iPod try plugging it in that and let it sit for a while. Your battery may need some charging before it will come alive again. This happens when a battery gets depleted to a point that it needs a lot of charging to come back. If you don't have a USB supply plug it in your USB port and let it charge for a few hours. It will take longer using the USB port.
If this doesn't help you will need to consider getting your battery replaced.

IPod won't work with new computer - please help

When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

HELP! My ipod won't work at all

My ipod hasn't worked for two days now. I've tried everything! My computer doesn't recognize it and whenever I try to turn it on it just says "very low battery please wait" and after a while it just shows the apple logo.

Try this.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
Sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
Do you have access to a wall charger?

- 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 another cable

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Error Message 8003?? Download won't work!! Help PLEASE!

Hi--
I have a new iPod nano (2d gen) and tried to download music onto it from the iTunes store. Each time, I am foiled at the downloading cycle with "Error Message 8003--unknown error." The download basically freezes between the store and the computer. What am I doing wrong?? Please help!!
Many thanks!!

Hello tbsphoto,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Based on the information that you have provided it looks like during the software update the device was not able to re connect to the Mac which in turn caused the 507 error on your BlackBerry Smartphone. The 507 error basically indicates that there is no OS on the device. This issue can be resolved by reloading the software on your BlackBerry Smartphone. I am attaching a link to our knowledge base with instructions on how to go about doing so on a Mac.

IPod won't work at all

My iPod was fully charged and on, and I left it on a table for a few minutes. When I came back, the iPod was off and it wouldn't turn on. When I tried to connect it to my computer, it wouldn't register or show that anything was connected. When I connected the iPod to something similar to a iHome, it wouldn't show that it was connected. I'm sure that it was connected properly, and it isn't on hold (but it still won't turn on). It isn't old either, because I got it on my birthday, June 28th. Help?

I fixed the problem, it was just frozen

Since uploading the ios7.2 I can't access my playlists in my music and some music seem tô skip and won't play at all - help please

Sine cup
Lading the new os I'm having issues with my music - I can't seem to play any of my playlists and some music keeps skipping to he next song - what seems to be the issue?

Try to reset the device:
*Device reset*
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Ipod Won't Work Please Help

My ipod wouldn't work at all so i sent it in and they sent me a new one. I thought yeah now itll work but boy was i wrong. It wont get formatted for Windows. The updater does not work and i uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but nothing. It automatically goes into disk mode and when i try to charge it the folder with the exclamation point. Please help me

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy, see these.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.

Ipod classic won't work at all. Help!

Today, my ipod has stopped working even after being able to use it earlier today. It will turn on only when connected to the wall charger (that is plugged in to an outlet) and won't connect to my mac. It flashes the apple symbol start up screen. I can only reset it when it's plugged into the charger and I can put it mannually into disk mode at that time too, but otherwise it won't work. Any help?

Ok, I ran into this same issue of a brand new iPod Classic resetting itself continuously about once every 30 seconds, and you could hear the hard clicking sound, with each reset cycle. I had to do the following to get it to work ok.
10 Simple Steps To Fix Your iPod That Is Stuck In A Continuous Reset Loop:
1) While the iPod was resetting itself over and over (continuously resetting itself), press the Play/Pause button and the center select button simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, and it will display that it is now in disk mode.
2) Start up iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPod to your computer with the USB cable.
3) Click on the iPod in the left pane, select "Restore" to restore it to its original blank state. Follow the prompts to continue.
4) When the computer completes the Restore update, and it displays a message saying that the iPod will disappear and reappear in iTunes in a minute, immediately disconnect the iPod (unplug it from your USB cable).
5) On the iPod, you should see the main menu, in a few seconds. Pick a couple of settings to update for example the English language, and Eastern Time Zone (New York or Washington, DC), etc.
6) Press and hold the Play/Pause button to power the iPod off.
7) Re-connect the iPod to your comptuer with the USB cable.
8) Start syncing using iTunes, as normal.
9) All should be well.
10) Remember to always click on Eject in iTunes, and waiting for visual confirmation, before disconnecting the iPod.
The End. Whew!

Help, my home button won't work at all!!!

Hi,
my home button won't work at all, and when I tried to restart the phone, the message appears that this action won't work unless the phone is on the airplane mode. Can't really read the whole message cause it disappears after a second or so.
I put the phone on the charger and the USB connection also failed.
What happened?

It sounds like it's broken. Assuming you haven't jailbreaked or otherwise hacked it you should try a Restore or a Recovery. If you put it in the cradle and you can't restore it see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797 for Recovery mode.
If this doesn't work call Apple or take it to an Apple store; it probably needs to be replaced.
If it HAS been hacked go to the source of your hacking tools for help; we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

The screen repair was botched. Take iPhone back to place of screen repair, and have them get the home button working again.

IPod Touch 2g won't work at all

Hey guys,
I was recently on holiday and on the second day, my iPod went black. I couldn't switch it on and any attempts to charge it, didn't work. I wasn't too bothered because I only bought a cheap car adapter to charge it with, so I thought maybe that was the issue.
However, since returning, I still cannot get anything to work. I have tried charging it on my PC using the original cable. I've used a new cable I bought and tried a mains adapter, yet nothing has worked. The iPod isn't working at all.
I've been holding down the home and power button for 10+ seconds, to no avail. No matter how many times I've tried to switch it on, I get absolutely no response.
Before this more permanent problem, I did have an issue with the power button itself, where it was sticking. It had done this in the past though, but on this day, it was sticking more than usual, randomly asking me if I wanted to turn the iPod off completely.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Jack

Yeah, I've looked around the internet and this doesn't seem uncommon. Surely there is some advice?
It's incredibly frustrating, to say the least.

Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Dell Computer Corporation Inspiron 5160
iTunes 6.0.4.2
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2
LowerFilters: ASAPIW2K (6.0.2.0),
UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.4.3),
Video Driver: NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 \GeForce FX Go5200

SCSI\CdRomROXIO__DVD-ROM_EMULATOR___, Bus Type SCSI, Bus Address [0,0]
If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Current user is administrator.
D: SONY DVD+-RW DW-D56A, Rev PDS7
Drive is empty.
E: ROXIO DVD-ROM EMULATOR, Rev
Drive is empty.
If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
Thanks

Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?
