The play/pause button on my ipod classic is not working, I am unable to turn off or push play on my ipod. Is there away to fix this?

Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
What encryption/security is the router using?
Try:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router

  • I am about to buy and iphone 4, its second hand and is in amazing condition. The only problem is that the 'wi-fi' button doesn't not work. I tried to click on it but nothing responds. Can this be fixed? Should i still purchase it?

    while you are with the person selling it to you, ask if you can do a complete restore of the software settings->general->reset->reset all
    reboot the phone to factory settings and see if that fixes the problem.  if not, i wouldn't buy it unless they are selling it to you for less than $50.  wifi is crucial for keeping data low and using features like facetime

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad. It downloaded fine but would only play 36 minutes, 5 seconds worth of the movie; although the time kept running for the length of the movie. Can this be fixed or do I need to get a refund?

    You can try a rest:
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If that does work, contact iTunes and request a redownload.  You can ask for a refund though.

  • Dropped Ipod Classic 150GB- Not working now?

    Hey!
    So, one day I got mad at my iPod  - being a normal 15 year old and I slammed it on the ground not thinking. The floor is tile to be exact. I stuck it back on the docking station and came back about 25 minutes later and didn't hear any music playing. I looked at the screen- no outside damage! The songs were showing "playing" and it would show on the time 0:00 and 0:00. I would skip to the next song and it would show the same thing. I reset the iPod - menu and center buttons at the same time. I got the Apple logo for about 10 minutes and then it said "restore using iTunes". So I connected my iPod to the laptop and I got this screen and it said "Do Not Disconnect" with a blinking circle with a line thru it. It shows that it is connected to my computer but not to iTunes. I tried to format the iPod using "computer" but all that happens is computer freezes. GRR! I need my iPod for dance! Is there anything in the world I can do other then buy I new iPod??
    Thank you!

    You've probably mortally wounded the hard drive. Take a look at Corrupt iPod classic for diagnostics & troubleshooting steps.

    Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

    Hi,
    You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).

  • Ipod classic 120gb not working and service request won't go through

    my ipod has been messed up for awhile now. it randomly started skipping songs and then it started not playing them. so i went to apple's website where it told me to follow the 5 r's which i did, and now it is just showing a red x and tells me to visit apple's website. i made a service request back when it first messed up but was really busy with school and now that i'm done i have tried to make another service request and it keeps saying we're sorry blah blah some kind of problem and to contact apple. unfortunately it's been over 90 days since i bought my ipod back in february and so i don't really want to call and have to pay. my ipod messed up in april so i only had it from feb to april. does anyone know if i can only make one service request or if apple is just having some kind of problem with the request or what the deal is. i would really like to get my ipod fixed considering it wasn't cheap and i've barely got to use it. thanks.

    Have you tried contacting the courier company that collected your iPod in the first instance, or phoning Apple using the number in the "contact us" link at the bottom of this page?

  • My lock button on my iphone 4 is broken, but recently my iphone suddenly turned off whilst on 100% and I can't get it on again. I have already tried charging it and connecting it to the computer

    Help. So its lock button is broken but it won't turn on, like I said, I have already tried charging it and connecting it to the computer... but nothing happened?

    You need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  It's experiencing hardware problems.  Nothing we can do for you here

  • IPod classic will not sync after iTunes upgrade

    After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes - 10.6.1.7 - yesterday,  my iPod classic is not recognized and I cannot sync it.
    The iPod does appear as a drive on my computer (with Windows XP).  The screen message on the iPod states that it is synching with iTunes, the iTunes message states it is synching with the iPod - but the iPod does not download anything new from iTunes and it does not appear as a device on iTunes.
    I've gone through the steps for troubleshooting; I've tried syncing the iPod on two different computers - unfortunately both of which have been upgraded to the latest version of iTunes - with the exact same results.
    It worked fine before I upgraded iTunes and I'm at a loss on how to fix this.  Is there some way to uninstall the upgrade and reinstall the old version?
    Suggestions are most welcome.  Thanks much.

    I am also having this problem. I have a 160gb classic that I bought last fall. I have a work computer I've used for my iTunes synch base due to broadband access.  The system had worked well enough with 64 bit XP and a few registration tweaks to calm itunes about working in that old environment. Forward to 2 weeks ago - I copy my library to the network drive so that IT can scrub the computer and upgrade me to Win 7. Computer is back up, install the newest version if iTunes, seems to come up fine. Several rounds of re-importing the library after it kept entering all the songs twice. Go to re-synch the ipod - get the 'this is a new device, erase *EVERYTHING* and re-synch. Yep yep. Sits there for nearly two hours saying it's re-uploading stuff. Then on the way home, I see - hey, a ton of stuff isn't there, lots of missing podcasts. Go check, everything is checked, new stuff downloaded, can listen to it on the PC with headphones. Then go synch the iPod - get the same 'things are updating..... synch finished'. And nothing has up- or down-loaded. Tried unchecking stuff, nada. Import new stuff, nada. Nothing   Plus it looks like pretty much every CD i ripped into itunes for the past 4-5 months failed to move - maybe iTunes was saving it somewhere else than the My Music folder.    PITA-factor of that aside, I'd really like to get at the last 3-4 weeks of podcasts. Any help on getting the system to actually do a real sy
    My other changes in the last few weeks are getting a new iPhone to replace an old non-iPhone, so there is another devicee on the account. I don't see my iPod listed amongst my devices in the iTunes store - not sure if that's only for wireless stuff.
    Help!!

  • I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

    I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?
    May try DIY due to cost
    Just wondering if anyone's had this fixed how much it costs
    Or if it's another problem before I order parts

    I have found the solution for myself for the above.  I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

  • Center or in short Play/Pause button on iPod Shuffle 4th Generation Late 2012 is not working

    Does Apple replace my iPod Shuffle because the center or play/pause button is not working but all buttons are working except for the center button my iPod Shuffle is Silver and it has a scratches and a little dents and the back was pop up? what should i do help me does Apple replace it for free n warranty?
    and if it has a Apple Care protection plan for iPod will Apple replace it for free?

    If you did a Restore in iTunes, and it continues to have the problem, if it is covered under warranty or AppleCare, you should probably contact Apple tech support directly (not the users forum).  If you have an Apple Store nearby, a good way to do this is to make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.  You don't have to have a reservation, but you can make one at the store's web page
