My ipod has "hold" in place permanently for some reason

This started happening last night where my ipod has "hold" lock on, almost permanently, even if it's not switched on. Nothing happens if I actually move the switch over to "hold," it just stays on "hold." The only way I can get it off is when I jiggle the headphones, but even then it's rarely off "hold" for more than a split second. At one point I got lucky and had it off "hold" for a few seconds, just enough to reset it, but it didn't do anything. Right now it's plugged into the computer charging, but still it hasn't switched off at all. OH also it's not like the switch isn't over far enough, I've tried pressing it to the "unhold" part as much as I can (That I felt would be safe) and it's as far over as it normally is. This also means that it can't be turned on all to easily either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

  • My ipod has gone into recovery mode for no reason at all

    So I was in Sri Lanka for the past 2 months volunteering, and I took my ipod with me. My camera was unfortunately out of action from day one, so I used my (very crappy) ipod camera to take photos for the entire time that I was in Sri Lanka.
    I had been there almost two months, I was in the last week of my stay when my ipod all of a sudden turns itself off when I was using it. It wouldn't come back on, and it was fully charged. I even tried plugging it in but it did nothing. It wouldn't come back on for two days, and then I tried it and it just says 'connect to itunes'. So I got home yesterrday and plugged it into itunes, and it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and has to be restored. However, if I restore it, I will lose ALL of my photos from Sri Lanka!!
    I have tried googling this problem for a while and can't seem to find a solution. My home button does not work which is another pain.
    But can someone please help me and tell me a way to save my photos?! I don't care about anything else, I cannot lose those photos They obviously aren't backed up either because I didn't have my computer at any point in Sri Lanka so it hasn't been connected to an itunes at any point in those photos being taken.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes won't run for some reason... help me!!!

    I installed iTunes on my laptop in December 2005 (I got an iPod nano for Christmas). Recently, my laptop started making a funny clicking noise and, as the Best Buy guy said, "Your hard drive is shot." So, therefore, I have not been able to charge my iPod. I downloaded the updates for iPod on this desktop computer, but for some reason, iTunes wont show up. Do I have to download the software again? How do I get it working?? Please help me!!!
    eMachines   Windows 2000  

    for some reason, iTunes wont show up
    a few questions before proceeding.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

    For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I  synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
    Thanks for any help...

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    I understand that when you originally connected your IPhone about a year ago it was recognized properly.
    Now when you connect your IPhone nothing happens but it does charger it, (until you used the last cable.)

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

  • Bluetooth Connection with Car - Ipod plays automatically for some reason?!?

    When I start my car (Ford Fiesta), the Bluetooth connects fine to my Iphone, but for some reason the Ipod also starts to play the last track played? This is really annoying because not only does it affect my battery life when I forget, but I also lose my place if I've been listening to an audiobook. Can anyone help please??!!

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

  • I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
    To find out if it's formatted as PC:
    Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
    Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.
