TS1404 ipod plays but no menu display

my ipod plays but i cannot see anything on the display. I have reset it, saw the apple logo but still no display. how to I reset it back to normal.

Hello,.. You've probably reset your "Backlight" function to not show at all,... Take the iPod into a well lit area,.. Maybe a florescent (brightest lighting area) and you should be able to see the information on the iPod. Get it to the "main menu> settings> backlight>,.. Then adjust it to the "Seconds" timeout, or No timeout,.. I hope this helps.

Ipod playing, but no sound coming through

I just changed the battery. Let it charge overnight. Ipod shows it's playing, but there's no sound. I've check Settings, and everything looks normal.

If the sideways X has arrows on it, it could mean that it is on shuffle. Try looking making sure that the shuffle is off.I don't know why that would affect the sound, but w/e. If it is off, then I don't know. Try taking it in to an Apple store. Hope that helps...

Ipod Playing, But no Audio Output!

I have tried just about everytime to see if it was the song that was playing that caused it to have no audio, but no. i plugged in my headphones several times, tried to play the ipod through speakers everything. I have reset it several times, connected it to my PC. The play button is rolling and the song is going, but no audio output! i need serious help...

You can send it to them and they will diagnose it for $9 and then give you an estimate of the cost to fix it. You can Google for other 3rd party sites.

Published for iOS, sound plays but no screen.

Hi,
I have completed a new game that runs great on Android - created using Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Professional. I got all our Apple stuff out of the way and then also compiled for iOS. Then I deployed to my son's iPod Touch 5 via TestFlightApp.com. He installed and ran and we get the sound but no screen. I'd really like to finish debugging and then deploy this app for both droid and iOS at the same time (in the next few days). Can someone tell me why the SWF's that are the UI of the app are playing sound but not showing up on screen? How can I fix this problem?
BTW, please forgive the fact that the site is under dev (will be completed and polished before go live), but you can get some idea of what the game is about at our web site: headshotgame.com.
Best,
Al

Ooops, spoke too soon...
After we recompiled all our FLA's to SWF's and added them as assets to our Flash Builder project, it did not work again (SWF sound plays but no graphics display). So, we went back to the earlier test solution and it did not work either?!?
Finally, we compiled using the quick compile selection of Flash Builder. The intro screen showed up all the sudden! But, none of the buttons work and you can't navigate to any other of the screens. Sadly, this is not answered and I don't know whether this belongs in the Flash Builder or the Flex forum as I don't know what is causing the problem.
All of this works perfectly on Android. Same code on iOS does not work. Perhaps it's the fact that I'm testing on an iPod touch with iOS5?
I have people waiting to test this app and help me get it live but I can't seem to get it to run on iOS. Please let me know if I can provide any other info to help you help me.
Thanks!
A summary of our problem:
We have multiple SWF's that are compiled in Flash Pro that make up a larger mobile app that we built in Flash Builder.
We add the Flash Pro SWF's to Flash Builder as assets of the project and use the Navigator to move between them with event listeners bubbling up from the buttons that are in the SWF's.
There are many SWF's - most screens have multiple SWF's on them.
All of this works very well on Android.
The same project compiled for iOS creates an IPA file but when the IPA file is deployed to the device, none of the screens show up but the sound plays.
There is only one way to get a (the first) screen to show on the device which is to set Flash Builder packaging method to "fast". Yet, getting the screen to show is useless as it won't allow you to navigate (and the SWF behaves differently in other ways compared to Android).
I am testing on iPod and will recruit other iOS device users to test as well. The iPod I am testing on is an iPod touch with iOS 5.

30GB Ipod starts up songs are displayed, but wont play

Hi
I got my ipod about 2 months ago, working fine, this morning i start it up , shuffle songs, first song displays , but just sits there wont play, go forward to another song same thing, reset the pod no luck any ideas

I'm having exactly the same problem...been working fine since i bought it..then stops working today.
Tried restoring a few songs and they appeared to play but after resynching the whole of my libary, back to the no play situation. Even when trying to fast forward through a song and start playing halfway through, songs don't play.

Ipod turns on, starts playing but no volume

Howdy,
My ipod 30gb turns on and starts to "play," but I get no volume. i turn it off and start it again and it plays fine. sometimes i have to turn it off and back on a couple times. should i reset it? if i reset it, do i have to re-sync the thing?
thanks,
du

Since last posting I've reverted to iPod software 1.2.1. to no avail. My iPod still "appears" to work (display lights up, song and artwork are shown, counter is rolling...) and the controls are all responsive, but I have no sound. The headphones are good.
My sense that the headphone jack itself is OK is from that fact that when resetting the iPod, I hear an audible "POP" at the moment it resets.
My next discovery occurred accidentally while I was attempting yet another reset. For a moment, while applying pressure to the center button, but before applying pressure to the menu button, I got sound. Ah ha! I then locked the iPod while it was playing and simply pinched the iPod across the bottom half of the click-wheel, and playback was audible. It came in and out, and there was some static and popping, but I got audible playback.
So it seems I'm dealing with a short in the internal wiring and I'm researching the cost of repair.
I hope its not going to be prohibitively expensive since I'm already in over $300 for an iPod that was top of the line in August of last year. I took excellent care of the thing, as it was my pride and joy. It was never dropped, left in a hot car, never got wet, it had a slip cover for protection from dust.
In my opinion, a nice, expensive piece of electronic equipment, treated well, should not cease to function 4 months after the warranty period ends.
I'm speaking as a big Apple corp. fan here too. I've used Macs for years and have always sworn by their products. This, however is a big disappointment.

ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

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.
- Unsync/delete all AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPod plays music, shows artwork, doesn't display artist or song details

My iPod plays music, shows the artwork but doesn't display the artist or song details. I think someone has been messing with it, but i can't find any settings that let me switch the song details back on.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Puch the center button to switch between volume -> scrubber -> rating -> artwork -> lyrics.

Photos display from Notes with iPod Classic, but not Nano

I have created links to 5 small .jpg photos in a single Notes file in an iPod Classic, and each link and photo works and displays just fine. However, when I use the same file and photos on a Nano, (copied the exact same file structure and content from the iPod Classic) the links work, but the photo displays as a blank white screen with "Oya" displayed in the upper left hand corner.
Any idea what causes the "Oya" error message to be displayed?
Thanks

Try this:
Use the click wheel on the ipod
Go to the Menu >> scroll through the Settings >> on my iPod nano 3 gen I can change the settings for Shuffle & Repeat >> On or Off. Skip is not available.
May be on your iPod in the menu you could change the Skip >> On or Off.

Music plays but there's no menu on the screen

A few days ago the menu on my iPod nano disappeared. It still plays music but the menu isn't there so I really can't do much with it. It's a first generation nano. Anyone know what I can do?

1. This is the iPod mini, not the First Generation iPod nano Forums (although not that big a deal, in the future you will typically find more help in there).
2. What do you mean by "the menu on my iPod nano disappeared"? What menu? What screen does show?
Post back with as much detail as possible!

Ipod plays MPEG-4 but not MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)??

I've converted a bunch of DVD's to MPEG-4 AVC H.264 using Xilisoft's DVD Ripper Platinum. But to my surprise my iTunes doesn't even transfer them to the Ipod. It says on Apple's Tech Spec's that the Ipod plays H.264 format.
The video's are converted in 320x240, 30fps, 768Kbps, all according to "what's allowed". Xilisoft also converts DVD's straight to Ipod format, which plays without a problem. But the problem for me is, that it is in MPEG-4 format and the file is TWICE as big as in H.264!!
It is possible to use in "iTunes->Advanced->Convert selection for Ipod" too. This converts the MPEG-4 AVC H.264 file to a .m4v file, which works fine on the Ipod and all.
But i'm still wondering why the Ipod doesn't play from the beginning the MPEG-4 AVC H.264 file? So if i want a small file that plays in my Ipod i need to convert twice, DVD->H.264 and then H.264->.m4v?? Just sounds so crazy...What am i missing??
I would appreciate it very much if somebody could help me with this, i have tried to search in just about every single forum on Google but none has really helped me.

Do you have a check box or option for baseline
profile under h.264?
Yes, it says on the upper right corner, after you choose in which format you want to conver the file to, in which codec it is. So when i convert it to MPEG-4 AVC it says h.264 and when converted to "Ipod format" on the drop down menu, it says on the upper right corner mpeg-4.
I am just really dwelled with this and i have updated all softwares, but no luck whatsoever.

My iPOD 30 GB classic has no sound. Screen shows music is playing but cannot hear it. This happenend last fall, and then in december it started playing again. Recently it has stopped playing again. What causes this?

My IPOD 30 GB classic has no sound. THis problem started last summer intermittently. THen in December it started playing again and did so for about 3 months without a problem. Again, recently the sound stopped coming from the ipod. I usually use a BOSE docking station that seems to be working fine. THe screen indicates that the songs are playing, but there is no sound, either thru headphones or on the docking station. I have reset, rebooted and restored and still no sound. What causes this to happen and is there a fix?

Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software number as shown in the iTunes Summary windows?
If both the soundock and the earphone has no sound after the HardReset, then I think you Audio chip has been fried.
But please try this Hard Reset again
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If it doesn't help, try Restore after the above.
Good Luck!

I've downloaded a TV show for my ipod classic, it shows up on my PC ipod librargy but it does not show up on my Ipod play list

I've recently downloaded a 3 TV shows from the Itunes store onto my Ipod classic. It shows up on my PC Itunes playlist, andI can play it on my pc but will not show up on my Ipod play list. I've searched all of the directories and can't see it there.
I have plenty of space on the drive so that's not the issue.

I think the issue may be that these TV shows are in HD. Would that keep them from playing?
Yes. Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

I have a iPod nano 5th generation and there's a song I'm trying to play, but each time I click it from artist it just shows the songs name again. And when I try to click the song from the song list it just skips. How can I fix this?

Pretty much I have a song on my iPod 5th gen nano that doesn't wanna play, its just one song every other song works. I click it and it show the thing when a song is about to play but then it instantly goes back to where you click on the song. And when I click on it in the songs list it skips immediately to the next song on the list. I have tried restoring my iPod but the song still won't work I've also tried removing the song from the library and the putting it back on iTunes but still no luck. What do you guys suggest I do?

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.
