Why can't I get my Ipod to play?

I have not had any trouble with my Ipod until tonight. It shows green on the docking station but when I try to use it, I can't get any music. It flashes orange when I push the volume control, thinking maybe I just needed to up the volume. I haven't used it in several days and it has been on the station all that time.

Hello,
Does this only happen when your ipod is connected to your computer? I'm running into similar problems but it's only when it's connected to the USB.

  • Why can't I get my ipod shuffle to do anything when I know the battery is full

    Why can't I get my Ipod shuffle to do anything? Before it stopped playing, saying or doing any thing I checked battery and it was full! This has happened before with another Ipod shuffle and I took it back. well, my new one is doing it. It plays for a while and then it decides to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Headphones in properly. Check !
    Battery full. Check !
    I can not even see a light when I switch it on and off. No voice over to tell me anything. Zero music!
    Played music for about 1-2 hours max. Should be more than this! Checked battery before it stopped anyway and this was fine.
    Help!

  • Why can't I get the iPod Touch in color with 16 GB?

    Hi! Happy Thanksgiving. So I really want to get the iPod touch 5th Generation for christmas/birthday (they're pretty close to eachother) however the one I want, which is the pink one, is about 70 $ more than the black one. After searching around for a little bit, I discovered that it's because the colored iPods have 32 GB as the lowest option, while the back one has 16 GB as the lowest. I would be perfectly happy with 16 GB considering the price reduction, but I really only want it in the color. So, why IS it that the colors don't come in a lower option on GB? Thanks!
    PS. If anyone finds any great Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals on the iPod Touch 5th Generation (colors) please leave an answer for that also! Thanks so much! x

    It is not a rule.  it is the decision that they made when producing the product.
    They simply chose not to make the 16GB in other colors.

  • Why can't I get my ipod nano to shuttle songs

    I cannot get my ipod nano to shuttle songs.

    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.

    now i remember it the 5th gen has also had an error message saying it was corrupt, which i find ridiculous, as it has been working fine till now and has not until today been hooked up to my laptop for a while.
    Hmmmm. It might be worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion on that laptop. See the following document:

  • Why can't I get my iPod Touch 4 to work properly in my 2011 Honda Fit base model.

    My iPod touch 4 does not respond to the directions provided in the manual. It is not possible to select desired playlists, songs, artists and albums.

    Seems like the car system is not compatible with iOS 5.  Other users have reported similar problems with other car systems and docks. You have to wait for either Apple or Hoda to update their devices.

  • Why can't I get a DVD to play through a projector via my SuperDrive?

    I have a brand new MacBook Air 13" with an external superdrive connected. I connect an external Epson projector to display my screen up on the wall. When I insert my DVD in the Superdrive I can run it on my MBA screen no problem but it will not project through the Epson. All I get is a gray and white checkered pattern on the wall.
    I can use my son's new MacBook Pro and Epson and project the DVD just fine.
    This is a training DVD that I need to run for classes I teach and need to be able to use the SuperDrive and my MacBook Air. What's up?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    How are you connecting your projector (Thunderbolt, RCA, S-Video, HDMI?)
    In System Preferences:Display does the projector show up and have a profile? It should. You may have to change the resolution/refresh rate (signal)  of that profile in order to get the video to show up. Depending on your connector you might not be able to choose a compatible resolution and refresh rate (Study the information included with your projector) . . . in that case you might need to use a different adaptor/connection.

  • Why Can't I Get My Music to Play Again After an Update?

    Hi all
    I downloaded the latest update on my iPod.  Afterwards I found my purchased music would no longer play.  They show up on my playlists, and under My Music on my iPod, but they will not play.  They just skip to the next song.  I tried resetting, but the same issue exists.  Does anyone know how I can fix this problem without losing any of my songs?  Any help is appreciated.

  • Why can't I get any Actions to play?

    All the loaded actions worked yesterday....none will play today.  I can bring up yesterday's work and continue to work on the action run, however, when I closed that out and went to another project, I was unable to run any action loaded.  I deleted the actions and re-entered turning off the computer after each action loaded. Still would not work.  I finally uninstalled 11 and then re-installed it.  Still no luck.  I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong!!  Are ACTIONS suppose to be a preset folder?  I don't have a preset Actions folder in my program files...not even after I re-installed.
