Wont Play Music

I was playing a song and skipped to the next and my ipod stopped playing music.  It could go through the menus but would not play.  I tried to reset but now it wont open and says go to suport page.  How can I fix this?

Do the Hard Reset
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 or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,

  • Ipod 2nd gen wont play music. will sync and can see music in itunes but no sound, ipod 2nd gen wont play music. will sync and can see music in itunes but no sound

    My ipod 2nd generation wont play music. itunes shows the music on there and will sync fine.
    light was blinking orange and then went to green. i have restored it to factory settings. updated the software on it and so far still no music playing from it. i have used a set of apple headphones as well as a bullet speaker. Any advice?? should i just visit the apple store

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • AE wont play music... Airtunes

    Hello forum!!! my setup a 2TB Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express that are extending my network via wifi. my problem is that both AE wont play music.. i have to restart both AE or just unplug them to work. In itunes i do select the speaker and it says it working but no audio output and also it give me an error which i could not find here -16005.
    any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi.
    There have been a number of threads on the topic of iTunes [you don't mention iTunes, but I assume that is what you are using...] no longer being able to connect or play reliably to speakers through AirPort Expresses using AirTunes. This was happening to me as well. [I have no Time Capsule experience so I can't comment on that or possible interactions...]
    But re connecting and playing music, I found this thread this morning:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2184595
    and this solved it for me immediately.
    The solution described turns off IPv6 { in System Preferences > Network [Ethernet] (Adavanced) > [TCP/IP] Configure IPv6 -Off- }, so I don't know if this work around will result in difficulties in a few years time when IPv6 may become unavoidable. [see article: http://www.ipv6actnow.org/info/what-is-ipv6/.
    The problem with not being able to connect with iTunes was all the more frustrating because I had no problem connecting to any of my AXes using Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil [http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil>, and still can having turned off IPv6.
    *// Airfoil allows you to stream ANY sound source from you Mac to any of your AXes, and also any networked Mac or PC (after installing a free client on those machines...) [I have no affiliation with Rogie Amoeba!] //*
    This "IPv6 Off" fix also allows Remote on the iPhone to work properly again.
    Hope this helps.

  • My i phone wont play music

    My Iphone wont play music and only vibrates for text and email alerts, but strangely enough it still rings! Is this fixable at all?

    Ok i think i have found out how to do it. Unplug your i phone, go to settings and then reset then reset all data and settings. This will warn you that it is going to erase eveything on your phone.
    DO NOT BACK UP BEFORE HAND
    then restart your phone and restore back up from when you donwloaded the new IOS5. This should sort out your problem :-)

  • My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song without playing...what can i do to fix this?

    Help!
    My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song in a second without playing...what can i do to fix this?  thanks, joe

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • My ipod shuffle 4g wont play music from a cd

    my ipod shuffle 4g used to play music, and i gave it to my dad. he synced it with a different pc and now music wont play. he put roughly 15 songs from a cd or two and only one plays, however it seems like a non-ear damaging version of static (that's the closest description i can get). the pc has WinXP SP2 Home 900MHz 256mb ram but i noticed iTunes when you open the all about it thingy (how to use it, etc not help but an overview) the videos become corrupt and if they do play they horribly lag and have color distortion (nothing is actually wrong with my monitor tho), and when you try to eject an ipod it says nothing is in that drive and you have to use My Computer to do it. its mysterious because on my Win7 laptop it used to function just fine, with music that came with Win7, iTunes Store content, and liek 5 cd songs. anyone know what's wrong? i haven't used iTunes in a while so I forgot a lot about how to use the deep menus and troubleshooting, etc. the pc is very old (he bought it from a gaming uhh... it was a place that used to be popular for gaming when computers had windows 2k, xp, me, and early versions of mac osx so the computer was very old and the place was going to close) about idk but it had Win2k and he upgraded it to the current version of xp. and the warranty on the iPod expired last month, because i bought it on my 12th bday, and i got frustrated because now i can't take it to an apple store for help free of charge or send it in for free warranty repair. grrr...so any help is MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated.

    Did you select the option to play the music via BT?
    Did it work before?
    Do the spkearker work OK on another device?
