My iPod is on its charger and won't do anything except start a sonar ping noise. HELP

My iPod won't do anything, on or off the charger, except start a sonar ping sound. What is wrong with it and how do I fix 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 another cable                     
- 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.

  • IPod has a blank screen and won't do anything?

    I took out my iPod 5th gen to check the time and it was fine. Then I took it out 5 minutes later and it had a black screen so i clicked the home button. Nothing happened. I've tried the power button, the home button, holding down the power button, and plugging it into a charger and nothing has helped. It's still on a black screen and won't respond to anything I do. What should I do?

  • My ipod has an odd screen and won't do anything, I've tried restoring it but nothing has worked. What can I do?

    So my Ipod classic starting acting oddly when I docked it recently. I took it off my docking station, which I'd used many times before and have no issues with, and the symbol for "docked" was still hovering over the battery. I didn't think anything of it until I came to dock my Ipod with my laptop and it said that it had to be restored before I could use it again. I restored it but this practically blank screen came up and just keeps flashing "Do not disconnect" and nothing else. What can I do?
    Please help
    Thank You

  • Disappointed!! I've been using Firefox since the start. Had a few problems but nothing insurmountable until now!! I'm using Internet Explorer now as FF constantly crashes and won't open anything but my home page. Someone help.

    FF goes to my homepage and then stays there. Will not open bookmarks or any other sites at all.
    When I close FF it closes the window but remains active. Can't even close the process in task manager and have to reboot PC.
    This seems to have happened when FF upgraded to 6.0. since then I have uninstalled 6.0 and reverted to 4.0 in the hope that this will solve the problem but to no avail.
    I'm now at the end of my tether and I'm no longer using FF. Don't want to use IE but I have no choice until this is resolved or decide which other browser will take FF's place. Anyone help?

    My MacBook Air shuts down when its more than half way charged and won't turn on unless I plug it in to the adapter? Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    If you really do have a Mid 2013 Mac Air model then it is still in warranty, as the standard Apple warranty is one year from date of purchase. So take it into an Apple store and have it diagnosed and fixed under the warranty. There is some type of hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

    Call Apple Care.   You are still under warranty.  You also have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your iPod with no questions asked. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

    Connect to iTunes and restore. If you have difficulty, you may have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • If you use your iPod Touch while its charging, will it ruin the battery life/battery?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th gen. and people say that if you use your iPod/iPhone while its charging, the battery life will deacrease or the battery will be ruined/shot

    However, you should almost fully discharge and fully charge the battery monthly otherwise you will degrade the battery.

  • When downloading a song it says its waiting and won't fully download

    When downloading a song on my iPhone is says its waiting and won't fully download.

    Are you on an ipod or an ipad? If so, then you may have to go onto your itunes on your computer and re-sync it to the device, that should fix the problem.
    If, by chance, you are on your computer when this happened, try doing the vice versa and still plug the device into your computer and transfer purchases from the device. That should work!
    Best Regards!

  • My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

    I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
    The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
    I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
    I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
    It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
    The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
    I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?
