Ipod nano 5th gen stopped working and now is in different language, wants a passcode

I was listening to a movie when it suddenly stopped. When I looked at the ipod it was in a different language and looking for a passcode. When I plugged it into a computer I got a"usb device not recognized" error message. I've hooked it up to 2 different computers using 2 different usb cables and I still get the same results.

Search for a solution over on Knowledge Base, call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) and/or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.
Another option is to check out the DIY iPod Repair website.

My ipod touch 5th gen stopped working

it won't turn on and it had more that half battery so the battery didn't finish but the screen won't turn on or anything and i plugged it into my computer but it still won't work

nevermind, i fixed it by putting it into DFU mode

My iPod 5th gen was working fine and now it won't turn on.

This morning I was listening to music on it and everything, it was working absolutely fine and went to take a shower, so I locked it. When I came back, it would not respond at all. Like it is on the off screen, with nothing on it. I bought it off a friend and the home button is stuck, so I can't put it in recovery mode, and I was going to download a client to do it on a computer, but my personal laptop does not recognize it (it doesn't even come up on the computer usb port thing and it doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall). I just recently purchased the charger (literally in the last week) so I do not believe it is the charger because it was charging fine all night. Also it was at full charge when I went to shower so I honestly have no idea what to do. I looked up solutions but I am unable to do anything when my computer can't even recognize it. Somebody please help me, or at least tell me I'm screwed so I can stop worrying about it This iPod is important to me and I have a lot of valuable data on it so I will be very dissapointed if I cannot continue to use it.

IPod 5th gen stopped charging in the middle of a charge.

I was charging my iPod touch last night and in the middle of the charge, it stopped and gave me the "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPod." It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source. It's now almost dead and I really need my iPod to charge. I've already tried resetting and clearing the debris out of the port. I'm not sure what else to do.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

- Try another charging source since I do not know what " It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source. " means
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod 5th gen. not working after restore

I've been having problems with my ipod, where, everytime I connect it to my computer, there'll be an error message popping up in itunes and the only option they give me is to restore it. It works perfectly fine, but I couldn't download anything from my computer to my ipod anymore, so I decided to restore it. After restoring it, Itunes came with an error message again and my ipod now asks me to connect to itunes, but it won't connect to itunes so, i'm stuck on the screen that asks me to connect it to itunes. Therefore, restoring my ipod made my problem 100* worse. Please help, thank you!

I don't remember anymore... :/ , you know when you get a new ipod it gives you the image with the lightning cable and an arrow pointing to the itunes store. Like attached. that's where I am now. But it doesn't work.

My iPod 5th gen won't turn on!

My iPod 5th gen was working fine last night and after charging it won't turn on with power button today. I'm not able to reboot using home button and power button simultaneously because my home button stopped working couple weeks back and I was using touch screen for home function. Any suggestions on how I can reboot without the home button working? Thanks!

See this previous discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen.) will no longer sync with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck.

After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen) stopped syncing with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck. Has anybody experienced this problem?

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.

Kenwood X991 & iP200 cable with iPod 5th Gen 80GB does NOT work correctly

I have a conundrum. My wife has the 4th Gen v1.2.1 iPod 30GB which works fine on my Kenwood X991 Head Unit. I recently purchased the "new" 80GB iPod 5th Gen with the latest version "1.0.2" which does NOT work properly. The iTunes software tells me that this 1.0.2 is the latest software.
When I attach my iPod to my stereo, it states "Reading" for eternity. It DOES play music but only plays Alphabetical Order ONLY. There is no ability to stop, change, fast-forward, reverse, etc....the only thing you can do is click "Source" to change to CD Player or Tuner, etc...
Does anybody out there know what is going on? I have a request into Kenwood as well. Thanks in advance for all your help!
-Kingofbytes

Thanks for the help. It's an iPod Classic then 80GB. The unit plays when plugged in but does not allow searching, or switching songs nor displays as it is supposed to. My wife's 30GB works with no problems. Of note:
Her 30GB = v1.2.1
My 80GB = 1.0.2
Mine is newer by about 6 months. Both are the latest software according to the screen.
Kenwood has said to "reset the head unit" and "make sure I've got it plugged in properly". I need to try the reset part next but the last statement is funny to me. I can install a head unit, amplifier, re-run all speaker wire, install a Dual 10" subwoofer box, solder and wire tie all connections from a factory unit to a 3rd party Cable manager kit, but I need to "make sure" I know how to plug in an iPod cable.....laughable.

IPod 5th gen headphone jack not working

I Have the iPod 5th gen and only today the headphone jack has stopped working. When I plug the headphones in it is as if the iPod just doesn't see them and carries on playing music from the iPods speakers and not the headphones. I have no clue what it is doing or any idea on how to fix it.

Hey Katie, as Philly Phan has stated there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. If it gets stuck open your iPod will think the headphones are plugged in. The plugging / unplugging generally will free the switch. Also, try looking inside the port, your looking for foreign debris, like lint, if you see something try blowing it out or carefully remove it with a wooden round toothpick. Good luck, Cheers.

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
