My 4th generation ipod touch will not power off and the volume buttons do not work, any suggestions?
My ipod's power off and volume buttons are not working. It's as if the volume down button is constantly being pressed. Both buttons "work" as far as I can press them in, but there is no response from the ipod. Any suggestions? I have updated the software, but that did not help.
Thank you!I have the exact same problem!!
please let me know if you have found a fix / soution

My ipod touch 4th generation wont restore or turn on, how do i fix it?
I was using my ipod as usual, nothing seemed wrong with it and it died because it needed a charge.
so i put it on the charger and when i went back to grab it for use it wouldnt turn on and my itunes was telling me i needed to download the newer itunes and also restore my ipod. Im a little upset about having to restore it, but what other choice do i have? but the worse part is it wont let me restore it.
its telling me there was a problem restoring it and it said the problem number is 1601 i think. i dont know what that means so i dont know how to fix it so if anyone else knows please let me know. its the only way i have to contact my friends and family. im losing everything off my ipod including pictures from when my daughter was born and also the video from a very good friends wedding. so please let me know what i can do to fix this error.Hi peace1161,

My ipod won't charge at all unless its plugged into the wall and its cut off on the charger. It won't do anything at all in the computer,it just says its an unknown device. I have no clue what to do. I can't reset it because I need my pictures and I paid for some apps and I don't want to just loose them because of this situation. Can you please help me?

My three year old ipod nano 4th generation has been working fine all these years. Suddenly, last week, while it was low on battery (not completely drained), it shut down and I cannot restart it. I have tried all the troubleshooting issues and still did not manage to turn it on. Though. when I press center and menu while connected to my computer, the computer bips has if it recognized that something is trying to connect. Though, it cannot identify it and the iPod remains shut down. I cannot find the issue, perhaps I need a battery replacement?

I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC. I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything. When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'. It also states the IPOD is up to date. I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
Thanks

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?
Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

have an ipod nano 4th generation. I let my grandson, who has a shuffle, connect his shuffle to my computer and now my itunes recognizes his shuffle and not my nano. How can I get rid of his shuffle and re-add my nano?
Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3716
This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,

I can't unlock my ipod nano 4th generation. The screen is still working, I can sync to my computer and I can see when it is charging but it stays in the mode of being locked even after I unlock it at the top. What could be wrong?

My IPOD 7th Generation is not compatible with my cars audio system. I had the IPOD nano 4th generation earlier and it was perfectly working on my car audio system. Is there any way i can make the IPOD Nano 7th generation compatible with my car audio system?
I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music
My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.
I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance..."I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_
