  • What do i do if my ipod will not turn on

    my ipod will not turn on, what should i do

    First, make sure it's charged (I'm sure you did!) When this happened to my son's iPod, we held down the sleep and home buttons at the same time for 15 seconds or so until it restarted. After that it behaved normally. Good luck!

  • TS1363 My ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop by the USB, it does not recognize it at all.  What could possibly be the problem?  The Nano was working like 30 minutes ago.

    About 30 minutes ago, I was adding some music to the ipod Nano.  Everything was working fine.  Now, the ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop with the USB, the computer does not even recognize it.  The screen has a fant image of the plug on it and it says connected.  I followed the procedures for disconnecting it when I was finished with it earlier.  Any idea what is going on here???
    Thanks

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Hello houseman06
    Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

  • I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

    I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

    Akeenleyside,
    Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5?  I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.

  • What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

    What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

    You don't want to change the player Region Code. If I remember correctly you can only change the Region Code three times and it sticks to the last Region Code you selected.
    Does the DVD play in another player?

    Hold down your on/off and home button until you see the Apple logo, but first plug your iPhone into a power outlet to make sure it has enough battery power. 

  • IPod will not turn BACK ON!  Cold weather?

    My iPod will not turn back on. I left it in a cold car for a few days while I was at my family's house, and the battery must have died while I was there. I came home and plugged it in, but it wouldn't charge or turn on. Help!!

    Try sending it to the itunes store because when i left my ipod in a car for a few days it worked fine. if you haven't tried the 5 rs try those first.
    To reset your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    Reset
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    Retry
    Retry your iPod with a different USB or FireWire port on your computer (please note that the latest iPods can only be synced through USB).
    Restart
    Restart your computer, and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
    Reinstall
    To reinstall your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    To update and reinstall your iPod software, first download the latest iTunes software.
    Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer. iTunes will then automatically check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you.
    To then check the software version on your iPod, select it from the source list in iTunes. iTunes will display the information about your iPod.
    Restore
    To restore your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    Warning: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure to back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
    How to restore your iPod:
    Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    After a few moments, it will appear in the Source list in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source list and you will see information about it appear in the Settings tab of the main iTunes windows.
    Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • IPod will not turn off after being used as an external HD in Windows

    I have disabled the option to have Itunes open when I connect my Ipod and I turned off the iTunesHelper in msconfig. This allows me to use my Ipod as an external HD without interference by iTunes. I have found that since upgrading to Ipod firmware 1.1.1, after I disconnect my Ipod using the Safely Remove hardware option in Windows XP SP2 my iPod will not turn off. I just turn on the lock, and let sleep mode set in after 2 minutes.
    This only occurs if I connect the iPod as an external HD and does not occur when I connect the iPod with iTunes open to sync my music library. The problem started with firmware 1.1.1. Is anyone also having this issue, and if so, is there a known solution?

    If you are not past the 2 weeks return period you can just return it.. for sure the TC is not ideal when you want something to store files.. the fundamental issue is lack of backup. The TC cannot back itself up. Nor can Time Machine in the computer backup network drives.
    To mount the TC disk in finder.
    Use Go, Connect to server. in the top menu.
    Type in AFP://TCname.local or TCIPaddress. (where TCname.local is the correct network name of the TC.. ie not its name as typed in, if it includes spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe. You need to find the actual network name from network utility netstat scan or better still use proper naming on the TC.
    Local is the default domain and helps.
    If the TC is in router mode the IP is static and is better used than the name.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 for example with default IP is far superior way to identify a network resource.
    The disk password will be requested. Add it to your keychain.
    It is better to load files to a DMG or sparsebundle.. See Pondini for info.

  • Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

    ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

    You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
    EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

    When I got to step #3 (While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.) my Ipod would not turn on, and Itunes did not recognize my Ipod. :S
