My 7th gen nano was working fine, now no sound

And yes, I tried two different sets of ear buds and they were both pushed in all the way.  It's worked fine for months, now this morning everything appears normal, but there is no sound output.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hey live_music_fan,
I know you have a 7th generation and the article this information is from is for the 6th gen, but the steps should still apply. If you haven't already, I would run through the following:
Check the volume setting.
Try adjusting the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
Try another song or audio file.
Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ.

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • My ipod nano was working fine until i uploaded some new tunes today.  It sync properly and once disconnected it just switched off and would not even turn on.  I have put it on charge for a few hours but nothing happens, infact the charger is getting hot.

    The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

  • My dvd drive has disapeared was working fine, now just not there, any help would be great

    my dvd player was working just fine before I went on Holiday....... now nothing just get an error message no dvd found....... does anyone have any ideas  

    Bring up the System Information via the Apple ➙ About this Mac ➙ More Information menu and check under the Hardware if the optical drive is recognized.  Are you able to use the drive from the Finder?  If not then it may be a hardware issue so try this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test

  • IPad 2 wifi not working.  Was working fine, now won't find the network.  Any suggestions?

    Help!  Bought an iPad 2 for my mother, brought it to Scotland (from Chicago); initially worked fine.  Wifi suddenly stopped working.  Wn't find the network.  My iPad 2 has no problems.  Reset the network settings, did a hard restart, reset all settings, rebooted the router.  Nothing's working.  I'm returning to the U.S. In four days.  Any help would be most appreciated.

    Patrick-
    Did your "hard restart" involve holding both buttons until the Apple logo appeared?
    Are you sure that Airplane Mode is OFF?
    The solution may be to swap iPads and leave the good one with your Mother.  If you erase all content and settings on both, you can restore the good one from your Mother's computer.
    When you get home you can do the same with the problem iPad and your computer.  If you haven't sorted it out by then, take it to the Apple Store Genius.

  • Premiere Elements 11, Windows 8, Was Working Fine, Now 'Has Stopped Working'

    I have just finished a project successfully, burned a BluRay with acceptable result, then shut down for the night. While viewing the BluRay, I saw a couple of glitches I wanted to fix, and the menu did not appear, so re-opened the project this morning. Thinking a stop marker would fix the menu not re-appearing, I inserted one at where I thought the end of my video was. I then found an unnecessary clip at the end that had slipped by me, making the end of the video longer, and likely the problem with the main menu not coming back. I deleted the clip. I rendered, saved, and played, but the playback wouldn't start. I closed and restarted about 5 times, same result. Now, Premiere Elements does not start at all, I get the splash screen, then the Windows box saying the program has stopped working and Windows will be in touch with me when they find a solution. Any ideas? I de-selected a sound device in Control Panel while the program was running, but have undone that action and the program will not start. I appreciate the help.

    ATR, thanks for the quick response. I tried some of your suggestions (from another related issue) in troubleshooting this one.
    Good info on the stop marker, I will remove it.
    Long story short, I have managed to re-install the program and get it to start. After the third time, the combination seems to be to Remove my preferences, Remove downloaded content, and Deactivate Product. I was reluctant to do the deactivation checkbox, I downloaded the program and was concerned about being locked out, Adobe thinking this was another illegal install.
    I started the program gently (giving things a long time to load, light on the hard drive being the main indicator) and was able to reload the video that seemed to cause the problem. Rendered, played, edited, no problems at this point.
    As to what may have caused the trouble initially, I'm not sure. I have speakers run off the analog onboard sound, with a microphone connected. I also have a USB headset w/ microphone that I use for narration and latenight listening. These devices don't seem to know about each other, and changing their status in Control Panel does not translate to a current Elements session. In Elements preferences, I enabled the analog speakers. From there, things went downhill. The sound wouldn't play, then the play would not start the video in editor, then the program would not start at all.
    I really like this program so far. I used Elements 1 and 2 way back when (with a computer to end all computers) to get all of our VHS recordings onto digital media. I did some editing and made some videos, then got away from it for a few years. We started diving and I got a GoPro camera. It didn't take too long to figure out the computer I had wouldn't do it for the new video formats. So, I now have the computer to end all computers to take care of the task. This has been the first glitch I've had in Elements 11. I expected a great deal more trouble with Windows 8.
    Anyway, thanks again. If I find a recurring issue here, I will be sure to post it.

  • WLC redirect was working fine, now it is going to the domain controller

    WLC was going to https://1.1.1.1/login.html?redirect=google.com/ and worked beautifully for years.
    All of a sudden the web browser is now going to:  https://(my domain controller name/login.html?redirect=google.com/
    I have to manually put in the 1.1.1.1 instead of my domain controller name to get them to the authentication page.
    How do I fix?

    First I'd check the WLC and make sure the VIP DNS name hasn't been changed.
    Secondly it's possible a proxy was out in place, so I'd see of that happened as well

  • Hdmi was working fine , now I am getting no signal, please someone help!!

    I Moved my tv and Macbook pro to another room and now my Hdmi will not work. It keeps saying no signal. Please help!

    gfxCardStatus is a 3rd party product that you would have had to install.  The fact that you are asking what gfxCardStatus is, most likely you have not installed it.
    gfxCardStatus will have an entry in your menu bar.  The letter displayed will reflect which graphic mode it is using.  'i' will be used if in Integrated Only.
    If you did not install gfxCardStatus or similar utility, then chances are that is not an issue for you.

  • Elements 4.0 (MAC) was working fine, now it "Quits unexpectedly"...

    PSE 4.0 had been working just fine, even with my limited knowledge of it. One day I tried to open it and got the error message "Application quit unexpectedly..." I tried to uninstall then reinstall and it still is not working. Is there something I need to delete somewhere to make this work correctly?
    Further, when downloading pic from my camera, they are automatically loaded into iPhoto. Is there a way to load them directly into PSE?
    Thanks,
    Sal

    First of all, for your quitting problem, go to your username>library>preferences folder and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    PSE 4.0 Paths
    PSE 4.0 settings
    Opera preferences
    Repair permissions and try again. If it still quits, go to applications>PSE>plug-ins>Import/Export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver.
    For your second question, photos are not "in" PSE. They are wherever you put them. You can set PSE to open automatically when you connect a camera, but you will be working with the images still stored on the card--not a good idea.
    if you mean you just don't want to use iphoto, you have two options:
    1. Set Image Capture to open and use that to download your photos to the mac,
    2. Set your computer not to open any program and you can just drag the images to the desktop and then put them wherever you want them.
    Let me know which you prefer and I'll tell you what to do.

    I recently had to reinstall my software for a
    dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?
