  • HELP Ipod is stuck, will not shut down or respond to any button pushes

    my ipod suddenly will not do anything, I was playing it & skipped to a track on it & it got stuck, the screen shows now playing but it is not doing anything, I cant get it to shut down play etc, or respond to any button click wheel pushes. I can feel it vibrating in my hand, I have plugged it in to itunes & nothing, it does not see it nor does windows. it has been working good so far, I just got it off ebay from someone 2-3 weeks ago. I have been using an inexpensive usb & AC charger with it, I did not see any reason to pay more for other branded usb & ac power adapters. I can feel it vibrating when I press the buttons but nothing happens.
    I need some input soon, I dont want it to burn out.

    what is causing it to crash? is there anyway to prevent it? I am using an inexpensive USB cable & AC power charger, can this cause problems? is there any difference between the cheap ones & the more expensive ones? I did not see any reason in paying 30.00 odd dollars for items that I can get for about 5.00 to to the same job, charge & sync my ipod. I have also just bought & been using an apple ipod radio remote to listen to FM radio, can this cause any problems?
    Do skipping around to different songs & albums & sections on my ipod cause problems? is this bad for the hard drive?
    when I 1st got the ipod, & hooked it up to itunes, I did not have to register it or anything, itunes just synced my library to it, in the info section on my ipod, it reads format; windows, & I am on a windows PC so it seemed ready to go.
    do I need to do anything else to it now? it seems to be working now.

  • HT1430 my iPhone4 will not turn on or show that is working at all, i have tried to charge it so that the screen will light up but it won't work, when plugged into the computer iTunes does not show any sign it is plugged in, what do i do?

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

  • HT1414 My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button,  what do I do?

    My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button,  what do I do?
    It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything.  When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
    The ipad's clock has also stopped.
       eek

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • HT201412 My ipod screen is black with white and gray lines all over; i need help please!My ipod also won't respond to any button pressing and nothing shows/syncs on itunes

    I was using my ipod when the screen froze,then it went black/gray with messedup pixels and lines everywhere.I already tried plugging it in and connecting it to my computer,but nothings shows up in itunes, and my ipod doesn't respond to any buttons.Plus it won't go off.Someone please help; i don't want to have to replace 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11.  Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade.  The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress! 
    PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

    I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

  • Hi my iPad mini was working fine but now is just a blank screen will not respond to any buttons or connect to I tunes

    My iPad mini was working fine then screen black and will not. Respond to any buttons or connect to iTunes

    Plug it into the wall charger an wait for at least 30 minutes.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

    My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
    I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
    Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
    I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

    If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers.  However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.

    It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

  • My S750 has died (pulsing green LED). Any recommended replacements?

    Yup.... just like countless others.... my horribly designed S750 has died the same way so many others have; no power... pulsing green LED. Tech support told me that they do not repair them and they do not sell them any more. A call to the Creative sales department confirms. So even though I could get a replacement at Newegg.... these things clearly are lemons.... and I'll never buy Creative again. That being said.... any replacement 7.1 systems out there? I would like to keep my speaker setup (my two rears are ceiling mounted) and just replace the amp and the sub. I assume that I could get a non-computer 7.1 amp and sub and make it work? Any info GREATLY appreciated.... Wazoo

    Fair enough.... but do please understand the frustration of a customer base that feels it has been left high and dry with a $500 lemon on their hands. However, no harm, no foul. Anyways.. back on topic. As I'm trying to salvage my seven S750 speakers which are mounted to my ceiling and walls, I'm looking for an audio receiver that will take 7.1 analog audio inputs from my (yes... its true..) Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card. I found the Yamaha RX-V66 on Amazon for $366 which, from reading the manual, takes 7.1 analog inputs. Anyone have any experience with this or similar products?In addition, I would prefer to use my existing wiring as pulling that up would be a real pain. Problem, of course, is that the wire connected to my speakers terminate with a mini-plug as it is the cabling which came with the S750. Home Theatre receivers, such as the RX-V66, have two-wire speaker posts for speaker output. Anyone ever see any miniplug to speaker wire adapters out there.... or will I just have to bite the bullet and re-wire?Thanks in advance for any input.....Message Edited by wazooda on 06-25-2007 10:10 PM

  • IPhone won't sync when plugged in...

    After upgrading to iTunes 9, my iPhone won't sync when I plug it it in. When I connect it, iTunes opens automatically and the phone/application will say it's syncing, but then after a couple of seconds it just stops and nothing has changed on the phone or my music library. I ran the syncing diagnostics test and it didn't detect any errors... Here's the message I got from it:

    We have 2 iPhones and two computers, one Mac and a PC. We recently downloaded iTunes v9 and now iTunes cannot “see” either of our phones on either computer. I have contacted Apple by phone and spent over an hour trying to resolve this connection problem. The Apple rep suggested that the issue might be in the “dock” and recommended I take the phones to iPnone supplier. Incidentally I can charge the phones using the “dock” which suggests that the “dock” is not the issue.
    The iPhone supplier connected one one phone to his Mac computer and it immediately connected to and “saw” the phone. Interestingly, the supplier was only running iTunes v8. The supplier suggested there was a “patch” for iPhone to operate with itunes v9. Is this correct and if so how do I get it.
    So my problem is that I cannot ever get to the stage of "syncing".
    I have also noted on several “chat” sites people have had problems with iPhone and iTunes v9 connectivity.
    Help!!!! please!!!

  • My ipod touch won't connect when plugged into Bose speaker

    Whenever I plug my iPod touch into my Bose speaker system, nothing happens. It doesn't say that there is an error or anything. It starts charging just fine but it won't play when it's plugged in.
    I know it's not an issue with the iPod's abililty to play music because headphones and the built in speaker work just fine. Other iPods connect fine to that speaker, just not this one. I'm just not sure why it won't connect to the speaker.

    - Does Bose say it is compatble with your 4G iPod and iOS 6.1.6? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
    - Did it work before the iOS update?
    - Have you went to Bose's support site/contacted them?
    Trey:
    - Resetting the Bose unit
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
