Music plays but there's no menu on the screen

A few days ago the menu on my iPod nano disappeared. It still plays music but the menu isn't there so I really can't do much with it. It's a first generation nano. Anyone know what I can do?

1. This is the iPod mini, not the First Generation iPod nano Forums (although not that big a deal, in the future you will typically find more help in there).
2. What do you mean by "the menu on my iPod nano disappeared"? What menu? What screen does show?
Post back with as much detail as possible!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    (Apologies for butting in wiclee.)
    The effect is usually caused by trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
    Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

    To start troubleshooting this issue where your iMac's screen will not illuminate, please reset your SMC by following the information outlined below.

  • IPhone 5, backlight works but there is no image on the screen. How do I fix the problem or get a replacement?

    I have an iPhone 5 32GB that is less than a year old, I smashed the screen not long ago and had it replaced and now the backlight works but there is no image on the screen. Its fully working apart from the screen, can I get a replacement? Or how else would anyone suggest to fix the problem?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple store or contact AppleCare. Some Apple Stores in the US can replace the display in an iPhone 5 for $149. If it requires more than that, a replacement phone will cost you $229.

  • I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

    I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
    1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
    2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
    3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
    At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
    So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
    Thanks.

    To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
    Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

  • HT2499 I hear the dvd playing but i dont see it on the screen. What can i do?

    Use DVD Player.
    If you want DVD Player to open when you insert a video DVD go to System Preferences->CD's & DVD's and set the When you insert a video DVD box to DVD Player.

  • Music says it's playing but there's no sound

    I got a new computer and moved all of the music from my old computer. Now when I try to play a song the equalizer moves like the song is playing but there is no sound. I've checked the obvious things like volume and mute. Any ideas?
    I transferred the music using my external HD. I installed Itunes to the new computer yesterday.

    Hm, maybe this will be of some help:

  • Theme music plays, but no video

    Why is that weird? That's why Apple has updates.

  • IPod music plays, but no sound on most songs after reset

    Here's the deal. My 3G froze up on me last week. Since I didn't read the instruction book, but was conveniently near an Apple Store, I went in looking for help. The person at the front of the store was nice enough to reset my phone and show me how to do it in the future. Phone seemed to work okay for the most part; My apps wouldn't load at first, but downloading a new app cleared that problem up.
    The problem I'm continuing to have is with my music. Some songs play, but most do not. The screen shows them playing but there is no sound. I tried Syncing the phone when I got back from my trip, but that did not help. I'd like to reset my phone, but my best set of contacts in the phone and I haven't figured out how to export them yet.
    Has anyone experienced something along the lines of what I am describing? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Screen lights up, music plays, but screen is blank

    I have just recently sent in my first ipod mini to the Apple repair service. They sent me a replacement ipod. The replacement worked fine for a while but is now acting up.
    The screen lights up, and the music plays just fine, but the screen is blank.
    I have tried to plug the ipod into my computer - itunes does recognize it and updates it.
    I have also tried to reset and restore the ipod, but to no avail.
    I have contacted Apple repair services again, but they want me to send in the proof of purchase...but this is the replacement ipod that they had sent me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Just try filling out the online form...
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
    If the bother to call and ask for the proof of purchase through that, then just say that it is an exchanged iPod.
    See when they say this one was purchased. Go to the link below and on the right a few scrolls down the page there is an about your apple product box. Enter your Serial Number. If it is under a year there, you need not send anything in...

    I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
    I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
    Can you help?

    Just wait a bit.  Turn it off, then back on.
    I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
    When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.
