Ipod wont unhold

i have a 4th gen 30gb ipod and i wanted to know how to unhold it. i have let it die and it wont unhold ive done everything ive read on other posts but nothing seems to work. any suggestions?

Have you used the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize its software?
If so, and it still does not work, it is likely that the switch mechanism has become faulty.

    My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

    To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
    If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
    Does the app/iPod meet this?

    To change asccount information see:

    For the code issue this may help.

    For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
    What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade?

    I updated to 7.0 and now my ipod wont play in my car stero. I have reset, bought an itunes song and reset again but nothing is working. Pandora wont play.

Thank you!

    Hi Novagurl2369!
    I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
    No sound through stereo headset1
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

  • How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

    Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
    - See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

  • I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes, it is saying i have to restore my ipod touch to factory settings, will i loose all my films by doing this, as now my ipod wont work anyway unless i restore ?

    I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes it says i have to restore my iopd touch to factory settings and will loose my files. I have a few films on there and they show up on my purchases.If i restore, will i be able to get my films back ? as at the moment my ipod wont work now untill i restore anyway.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Here's how to:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

  • My ipod wont synch with itunes,

    I moved my itunes from my laptop to my pc using the ipod as a hard disk, and now my ipod wont synch, sometimes it starts and then just hangs and says cannot copy blah blah blah due to an unkown errer 50. When i run the diagnostics the ipod cannot be found but it shows up in the list on the left of itunes and attempts to synch. Any help would be much appreciated as im desperate to get it working again, i only moved my itunes from my laptop because it is dieing and did'nt want to lose all my music, it seems that i may have inadvertantly lost it anyway!

    Hi, thank you for the reply, unfortunetly i have tried all the suggestions on that link (and quite a few more).
    The message is completely random as to whether its a download from the itunes store or something i have imported or a cd that i have added to my itunes. I have got to a point now where it will synch a certain amount of tracks (or photo's, books, etc) and then just give me an -50 message regardless of what it is i am trying to synch, my 80gb classic has now become a 50mb classic!

  • Ipod wont snyc with itunes

    I had to restore my computer back to the factory issue. It crashed Since then I have had problems with my ipod. I have a fifth generation one that has worked perfectly for 2 years. Since i restored my computer I have had to do the 5r's removed and reinstall itunes and quicktime. I have erase and restore the ipod back to as new. Now itunes comes up on computer and all my songs are there but I cant sync the songs to the ipod it tells me ipod wont sync file not found. Please help me i have read posts for 2 weeks now and have tried most everything and nothing works.

    I'm having the same problem. My iPod screwed up and luckily I had bought a warrenty with it. Apple sent me a refernished iPod but it says the same thing "iPod could not be sync'd because of missing file" what the heck do I do?!
    I restored it to it's factory settings and updated it with the latest version and nothing works. Any advice on this would be appreciated :]

  • 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,
