Reset it. Method varies by model. So look it up on the apple web pages. If it won't reset let the battery drain, put it on charge and try again after it has been fully charged.

    Hi Erika,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you have an iPod that isn't starting up normally, which needs to be restored or repaired. The article linked below will provide more information about the issue and walk you through possible resolutions.

  • MY ipod touch wont connect to the internet. HELP i've tried everything I can think of.

    I've reset the wireless settngs, turned the wifi off and then turned it back on, and I've clicked "other" under the wifi names and typed in the name and password. What next?

    Can other devices that you own connect to your WiFi network? If not then that is the problem, not the iPod.

  • Hd light wont stop blinking

    my hd light (4th from the left) wont stop blinking. It blinks normally when the hd is accessing, but will continue to blink, about once per second, when its not acccessing, and does not ever stop. the timing is regular, and does not seem like its caused from any sort of normal hd access. I found a post with the same problem problem here that seems unresolved but could not seem to reply to it: http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-L305D-S95222-Blinking-work-light/m-p...I cant exactly remember when this started happening, but it definitely was not doing it when the laptop was new.
    thanks for any help you can give me.

    As long as you have services, internet conection and anti-virus running in the background you will have spurratic HDD activity, this is perfectly normal, on all computers. Be sure to run a disk cleanup and defrag every so often and if you have system restore turned on you can delete all but the most recent point to free up some clutter.
    Should you choose to turn off services and you have no idea what what they controll, you will more than likely be doing another system restore

  • 30g iPod Video with Dead Hard Drive

    Whoops... dropped my fancy 30g iPod Video while watching something. Now I have a nice paper weight.
    I want to manually exchange the Hard Drive. I have the old one in my hands, but can't seem to get the exact same model. I CAN however find different sizes of various hard drives.
    My question is simple: Is my 30g iPod locked to 30g? or can I pick up a 60g Toshiba Hard Drive? 80g? 160g?
    I've done some searching and I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I've found people who have replaced with 'similar' hard drives (30g Toshiba for 30g), but haven't found word on restictions.
    Thanks for any info.

    Check here, http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPod-5th-Gen/95 . You should be able to put a bigger drive in you just need to order the correct reat case since it will be fatter.

  • My ipod will not stop blinking!!!

    I just got this thing today and I am already having problems! My iTunes page says that the ipod has been updated and yet the actual ipod will not stop blinking orange. I thought it was a fluke but then the computer said that the songs that I put on the ipod was in use by another program. I don't know what it means but the stupid thing has been doing this for hours now. Can someone help me?

    Hi,
    This is a common issue with the windows computers. There is noting wrong with the iPod shuffle. The iPod shuffle is in use by the computer and the its programs.
    This will be resolved once the computer is restarted. Make sure that the iPod is connected to the computer while you restart the computer.
    After it is restarted eject the iPod shuffle from iTunes or My Computer.
    Post back if you have any questions.

  • Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

  • Ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

    ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

    Hey there our3goldens,
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store  to have it checked.

  • Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

    Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

    Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

  • My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

    Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
    Any tips are very much appreciated.

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)  Or go into an Apple Store.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on the screen is balck i tried connecting it to my computer but it wont work.. Can anyone help me ?

    My ipod touch wont turn on, The screen is black and i tried to plug it inot my computer and it still wont turn on.. Can someone help me ?.

    After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Making an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store
