Well, my ipod quit working completely.

Well, more or less: the screen freezes the instant I turn on my ipod, and never moves past what it was once I turn it on. The click wheel and buttons are responsive, and if I'm lucky I manage to fumble my way to some music (but not what I want). Resetting the ipod updates the screen to what I was currently on, but then it freezes on THAT screen. I even restored it to factory settings, and it froze on the "select language page." Is it defective? If so, I'm gonna return it and get a Zune 2. I expected better from a company as respected as Apple.

Is it defective?
Sounds like it.

Go for it. After all, the popular and best selling Zune is flawless.

My 6th generation ipod quit working.

My 6th generation ipod quit working. The battery was low, but I plugged it into a charger immediately. I've tried a car charger, wall outlet and iTunes does not recognize it to charge or reset. What should I do?

Take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. You are still under warranty. Take advantage of it!

IPOD STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY

Any help would be much appreciated!
My Ipod Nano's battery ran down, and when i went to recharge it, it is completely dead. I have tried all the steps mentioned regarding resetting etc, and i even took it to an apple retailer, who could not get it to work at all.
Do I have to assume it is gone, and get a new one after 12 months of use. (yes, it's out of warranty, typical).
Thanks for any advice!

Try charging it for at least 30 minutes (a wall charger works best for this) and then Reset it while it is still connected to power. You may have to try this several times. Once it revives, fully charge it and then Restore it in iTunes.
If this does not work why not try replacing the battery? If you have heavily used this iPod the battery may be dead.

After 2 weeks my ipod quit working, please help.

I’ve had my iPod 30GB for 2 weeks and it has worked perfect until last night when I properly unhooked from the computer (which I do many times a day) and the display showed the apple icon. The first thing I did was to reset it. after four minutes it showed the language screen and after another minute it went to the menu (does this each time I reset it). All my content was gone. Neither itunes or ipod updater recognize it. I put it in “disk mode” same results. It shows as a drive in windows explorer but when I click on it the computer shows “please insert disk into drive” I went though all the steps I could find on the web site and even tried to install it on a computer that has never had itunes on it. Same results. I have a second cable I tried also. The first time I reset the ipod it made a couple of clunking noises that it did not make before or since. Any ideas I hate to have to send it back.

Ipod quit working

my ipod started ticking quietly this morning. when I plugged it into the computer initially it stopped. Then later, when unplugged it qit again and there is no sign of life when plugged back into the computer

I plug my ipod into the usb for charging and the computer doesn't recognize it or doesn't find it but all it does is show the apple logo then reset and show the apple logo again, and it doesn't do anything when i pull it out of the usb cord. When i plug it in all it shows is the apple logo and then gets some horizontal white lines and resets and does the same thing over and over again. What do i do?

IPod Classic 160gb quit working

Hi, I was listening to my ipod classic while working out. I had it on shuffle mode and decided to back out into the menu mode to select an album. As soon as I hit the menu button the ipod quit working and now a red X appears telling me to go to apple support.
I went to the "apple.com/support/ipod" and followed the steps to restore my ipod but none of them have worked. I'm unable manually boot into disk mode on the ipod. Is there something else that i can do before bringing this in to the apple store?

How old is this iPod?

Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore and still nothing only had for a week can't believe it would be broken already

Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore just to see and still nothing have only had for a week so I can't believe it would be broken already any ideas

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

External speakers (Bose) quit working suddenly. The speakers work with an iPod but no longer on the iMac

These speakers have worked forever! Now they suddenly quit working. Plugged them into my iPod and they work fine. Headphones likewise don't work on the iMac. Seems to be a problem with the port and not the speaker system. Internal speakers work ok, but are far inferior to the Bose system. Are there some diagonstics I can run on this particular port? Shouldn't be a software problem (I'm running Lion10.7.5)

This solved my problem: in HARDWARE - Sound Preferences, I selected OUTPUT. I highlighted Headphone Port, (It was not originally highlighted), and then performed a complete shutdown (not restart). Re-booted, launched iTunes and the Bose speakers were working, as were the headphones.
This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. Good Luck!

Presuming you are using a wall charger - it would seem that your battery needs to be looked at in an Apple store

My iPod touch 5 suddenly quit working and it won't charge.

My 5th Generation iPod touch suddenly quit working. I try to charge it and nothing happens.

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.

Angry birds rio quit working on my ipad. When I try to start the game, it shuts down completely and goes to the main menu screen. This started when I downloaded the latest app. The other angry bird games still work. I really need help.

Angry birds rio quit working when I installed the latest app. I even uninstalled it and started over. When I try to start the game, it goes back to the main menu. I need help badly but in simplest of terms so I'll be able to follow.

Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Angry Birds 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Angry Birds app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Well, my ipod quit working completely.
