My 80gb ipod video wont connect

hello my ipod video recently stopped connecting to my computer it dosnt even find that the usb cord is connected to it ive tried everything from software to swapping parts with my older ipod video (same gen) and it still wont find the cord is connected if any one has had this problem and has fixed it i would greatly appreciate if you could leave me a post with a few ideas or how to succesfully fix this problem thanks

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.

  • My ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house

    my ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house.
    I'm Having trouble cause i just got it used & I reset & rebooted it now I don't know how to program it. Someone please out of the goodness of your hearts," Help Me Please?"

    Might be a good idea to start by reading the User's Guide.
    Also, this is the iTunes for Windows forum... the issue has nothing to do with iTunes.  In the future, please post to the appropriate forum.

  • My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

    My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

    If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one.  If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
    I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair.  You'll need to ask for pricing. 
    If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

    If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open.  I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

  • 30GB ipod video wont turn off

    all of the sudden after a month of having my ipod video, it wont turn off
    any idea what to do? will resetting it even help??
    it plays music just fine and nothing wrong with the connection to my computer

    Like the guy said, different levels. You only have to hold down Pause, and then the system goes into Sleep mode. The problem is that you probably moved your finger when the button was pressed. Don't. Keep your finger still on the button. This happened to me oh so many times
    Otherwise, add a Sleep item to your Main Menu. Hold down Menu for a few seconds to go back to the Main Menu. Go to Settings > Main Menu. Scroll down to "Sleep", and turn it on. Now go back to the Main Menu, and choose the Sleep option.

  • My ipod video wont play sound through the headphone jack or the bottom connector

    Hello everyone. I have an iPod Video 60GB (supports video output through the headphone jack). Which I believe was the last one before the iPod "classic".
    Anyways awhile back it stopped outputting sound through the headphone jack, I assumed I had damaged the jack itself as commonly happens but it stopped outputting sound through the dock connector to my ipod speaker dock and my cars ipod connector. The clicker wont make any noise either.
    When I tried to search for an answer to this problem years ago I couldnt find anything and knowing it would be out of warrenty I put it aside and forgot about it. Having searched again recently it seems as if this could be the audio processor or some component on the board coming loose? Has anyone outlined this problem with pictures and steps to repair it?
    I *may* take it in and pay the $30 but I would much prefer to fix it myself. Thank you for any help with this.

    Update: The model # is MA147LL. Not sure why my edit didnt take effect.

  • My iPod touch wont Connect or Slide

    My iPod screen says Connect to iTunes, but it wont connect, and I've tried to "Hard Reset" it, but it just goes right back to the same screen. also when i try to turn it off it wont let me slide to turn it off? Please help!! i've had my iPod for quite awhile and this is the first problem i've ever had with it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Video not connecting

    I have a 30gb iPod Video and when I plug it up to the cable nothing happens. Windows doesnt see it and neither does iTunes and the iPod itself doesnt light up when it's plugged in. But when I unplug the cable from the iPod(its still connected to the computer) the screen on the iPod lights up. When I plug it into another computer it works just fine so its not the cable. I have tried installing the newer iTunes, stopping and starting the iPod service and putting it on manual, nothing works! What do I do??! I need my music! lol

  • INFO about new 80GB ipod video

    Hi,
    i'have (may be) a very stupid question about the 80gb ipod, but i'm a new ipod customer so...i don't know
    Well: the real capacity of the ipod 80 gb's hardisk is pratically 74 gb? and not 80 gb?
    Sorry for the basically question!
    Bye

    All hard drives never have the full advertised storage space, and as a general rule it's around 7% less than stated.
    It's because hard drive manufacturers calculate hard drive space different than computers actually read it.
    For a full technical explanation, see these.
