IPod wont change screen or do anything at all

Two days ago I was listening to my Ipod and it played a song but when I tried to turn down the volume nothin worked the next button the menu the play/pause button....nothing worked. But the song was still playing.
Also the hold button is not working and when I try to turn the Ipod off manually it does nothing...also when I plug it into Itunes since I upgraded to 7.0 Itunes will not work until it says it is synced and then every other time I have plugged it in it tells me to restore it but when I tell it to restore it says that the ipod cannot be restored!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Can you post the exact message it gives you, please?
Go into Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities with your iPod connected. Click on the iPod and then select Repair Disk.

hmmmm. let's quickly check on this to begin with:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
... but if no joy with that, this resource might be useful:

The year on my ipod wont change back to 2012 it keeps going back 2513 help!

Hi my ipod 2nd gen time is messed up. The date and month is fine but the year has changed to 2513 and it wont change back to 2012 it just changes back straight away please help! what can I do?

If you head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time is it set to Automatic? Head to Settings -> General -> International -> Calendars and make it is set to Gregorian.
It might not hurt to reset the iPod as well. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My ipod wont restore screen jus black

my ipod wont restore always different error everytime screen is jus blank

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Portege M700 wont change screen orientation

I installed the webcam driver for the M700 and each time I install it, I recieve the same error message:
"Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer."
I've reinstalled the drivers numerous times, and it still doesn't work.
Therefore, I tried the msconfig method, and disabled all start up processes, and then reenabled them.
The webcam displays the same error message, and now the screen wont change orientation when I swivel the screen.

Regarding the error:
*Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer*
First of all please ensure that you are using the latest BIOS version.
If not, update it.
Furthermore access the BIOS settings and set it back to the default pressing the F9 button.
Dont forget to save the changes if you would leave the BIOS.
Additionally and webcam driver update would be advisable too
Someone has posted this solution:
+Shut down your computer and restart it, go to the boot screen should be F2 or F12, There is an option at the bottom of the screen that says something like load defaults or just defaults F9 on my system, Click yes to reloading defaults and save and exit, the camera should work fine after that.+

My ipod wont change to landscape

THe landscape worked and then it stopped the lock is definately off and i've tried resetting it but that didn't help at all.

Youv posted in the wrong discussion, you should try the iPod discussion.

The History tab at the top of the screen. When I click it it shows history but it shows the same thing every time and wont change. Even when i click "all history" and delete it it is still there. How do i delete it?

Could you be specific where the files to fix this are?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why is my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark?

my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark all the time?!?! I also have this problem where at the VERY bottom of the screen, Theres this white bar that keeps flickering on and off!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

The screens are practically the same.
Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.

Apple wont change my iPad with a bad screen :( Anything I can do?

Today I received an email from apple that says my iPad "meets apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality" even though it has a giant piece of dust under the screen (not the wallpaper, it's there when the screen is off). I am really upset about this especially considering all I've gone through to get a good one: I first got my iPad from the apple online store at the end of may, and noticed it had dust under the screen which made it look like a dead pixel. I'm in San Angelo and the closest store is in San Antonio, 194 miles away. I'm also on training status on the Air Force (Goodfellow AFB) and getting out of the base is extremely hard. I finally got permission and found somebody to lend me their car last week, and so I headed on the ridiciously long trip. After arriving to the La Cantera Parkway store I went in and they exchanged it for a refurbished one. When I go back to the base I see that it has a giant piece of dust under the screen on the lower right and is scratched on the upper left and on the dock connector. So i just wasted more than $100 on a trip for nothing. I call apple customer service and they say they will send me a box to ship it to them. I receive it and then I get my roommate to do it, because it's basically impossible for me because I can't bring mail to the facility where I am trained, and I can't just go where I want on the weekdays, and the only time I can actually walk around the base, on after duty hours, the post office is closed. Today I received two emails: one that says they received the iPad and another a few minutes ago saying it meets their performance so they wont change it. I can't even talk to customer service because they are closed and I cant in the morning because I have to wake up at 3:50am and cant have my cellphone till 5:00pm, by that time they'll have shipped it. This is really frustating, is there anything I can do? I'm thinking to sell it at a loss since exchanging it is just a giant hassle.

Really sorry to hear about your story .
Have you tried to call them again sometime? Try to express your anger about the issue and force them to find you a solution. I think Apple is nice and they do listen to their customers. You can always request to talk to their supervisor/manager. I am sure they will listen and find you a solution.
I was once succesful at nagging them to exchange my Macbook Pro faulty logic board (which costs about $2000AU) even my waranty is expried (2 years after I bought my MBP). And yes, they did it for me, really nicely.
Good luck and keep us updated,

Reset your iPod. Hold the power and the home button for 10 seconds till the iPod restarts. No data will be lost.

Ipod screen says 'connected' and wont change.

I connected my ipod to my computer and then pulled it out without ejecting it. Now the screen wont change from the 'connected' screen. I cant turn it off and pressing any buttons wont help.
i've restarted my computer but whenever i connect it again it says USB Device Not Recognised.
what do i do?

Hello Chudo,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried a simple reset of the iPod? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off a few times, then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You may want to try this a couple of times if no luck on the first.
Another possibility is to try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and see if that helps.

My ipod has a blank white screen and wont change no matter what i press or try.. what should i do?

my ipod has a blank white screen and wont change no matter what i press or try.. what do i need to do?

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1926 whenever i try to click the itunes icon on my screen, i get a ' itunes software liscence agreement' coming up, i click agree but itunes never opens, my ipod wont make it open! (ive never had problems with itunes on my other computer)

it all started when i installed itunes, which i have never done before on this computer as its new (second hand , but i mean new as in wiped clean)
i downloaded the latest itunes software from the website, and everything went smoothly. when i dobule-clicked the icon on my home screen, a 'apple itunes software liscence agreement' window popping up, it had 'save as' 'agree' and 'disagree' buttons, naturally i clicked 'agree' the window went away, but nothing (even 30 minutes later, with the computer untouched) happened. frustrated i repeatedly opened it up, again and again, only to be greeted by the same window, and same blank home screen. even connecting my ipod wont force it open, changing cables wont work, and uninstalling seems a very distant probmise to fix this error. HELPP MEEE! I am nothing without my beloved ipod!
thanks everyone,
ange

Ipod wont do anything.

My ipod wont do anything! I go to turn it on and it just stays on the apple logo screen, and I can't do anything. When i plug it into the computer it still just stays at the apple logo. The ipod dont show up in itunes or on my desktop. I tried reseting it and it turns of and then comes right back on and freezes on the apple screen. After being plugged into the computer for awhile it will go to that little disc thingy with the bar at the bottom loading, which means its checking for whats wrong and stuff but after its done it shows the disc with a little checkmark by it. Anyway please help!

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes
