iPod frozen.

exactly, i was talking to uptoeleven. ed, i would not think it is your duty to search the knowledge base for this lazy person.

It'll probably be ok. they are really fiddly machines all the same.

Tried all the various button pushings mentioned on the web. Funny thing is battery was just about out and I recharged it when this happened. I'm going to try the Ronan solution and hope that works.

RIP 40GB clickwheel who ran down to zero battery and won't recharge.

A battery replacement kit should run you about $30 + tax/postage, including the tools necessary to do it.

this is happening to me right now! it's the second time. first time i just plugged it into my PC and it sorted out in a day. i fear this time it might be terminal, cuz that shit ain't working and hasn't for a couple days.

So my iPod doesn't seem to be charging. When connected to a computer (have tried several too), it works fine, though.

Suggestions?

My classic just plain sucks now. At least 4-5 times per day I have to do one of those hold down menu and the center button to revive it and about every 3rd or 4th song it freezes for like 5 or 6 seconds. So annoying.

iPod frozen.

With a chewy apple center.

I'd like to replace my nearly 5-year-old iPod but can't really justify it when it's still working just fine. Every time it takes a few seconds to warm up, I secretly hope that it's died. Maybe I should just start being careless about where I leave it.

This happens to my old nano sometimes - doing a hard reset should fix it (on a nano you hold the menu and center button down until it resets, don't know if it's the same for all iPods).

mine has just frozen mid-song (but it played the song out). holding down menu/centre had no effect. doesn't light up when i plug it in. WHAT IS HAPPENING/IS IT DEAD/HELP

i can still see the name of the song on the screen so the screen's not gone blank or anything, just frozen

that's happened to mine...keep trying to reboot it, and if that doesn't work, hopefully it'll be ok after it runs out of power.

cool...that's a relief, as long as it's not dead. it's like 4 years old now but i don't particularly want to be replacing it.

(also the usual resentment of things breaking for NO REASON)

plug it in lex and hold home/power off it should boot into dfu mode.

i shall bear that in mind for next time, but the reboot just randomly worked! crisis over :)

huh, weird problem this time.

sound in headphones went really crackly and fuzzy then died yesterday. the song on the ipod carried on playing, there was just no sound. i assumed the headphones had died. today, it worked again, but only for about 20 minutes before the same thing happened. bought new headphones and...NO SOUND.

so i now presume it's the ipod at fault? maybe the headphone socket? i panicked that it had died but the song still plays, it turns on fine, just synced to itunes w/no problems. but what can i do about this? is there a quick-fix? is the problem something else entirely? helpfully i'm travelling for a few days as of tomorrow morning - couldn't it have chosen a better time to act up :(

maybe the headphone socket?

sounds like it (no pun intended)

off to the genius bar with you

got an appointment in a bit - initially feared i wouldn't get one at short notice but i was FIRM with them and made them find me one today

fingers crossed they can sort it then and there rather than take it away for a week, i'm fucked if i have to do the lib dem conference without it

fucked or inconvenienced?

life or death

if it's the 4 year old ipod you may be in a spot of bother

it is! i'm fine with buying another (thank christ for a good few months of work) but obv i don't wanna drop unnecessary £££ on it if it's fixable. i mean, everything else about it works fine so it's not like it's DIED completely.

yeah it's just ime they're a bit random as to when they stop supporting their products, effing apple

oh god yeah, i live in fear w/r/t my actual macbook - warranty expired last year and as far as i can tell there's basically no insurance option once you're out of that? like, the apple insurance costs so much that if it dies i may as well just get a new computer.

what i hate about apple is that when their products work they're amazing but they stop working SO SUDDENLY - with all the old microsoft shit i used to have, the death was always kinda gradual and you were forewarned to an extent by the way it'd just start to creak. w/apple, it's...one minute working perfectly, then without doing anything to it BAM it's totally dead.

obviously at the most inconvenient time possible in every case - i am SURE technology operates w/malice aforethought and i shall not be convinced otherwise

yes even apple gear has secret contempt for the puny fleshpods

first time i dealt with them they wouldn't touch a 3 year old mac mini but the next year they would help with a 3 year old macbook, though that may have had something to do with the enormous bulging battery that was presumably about to explode. last mac i bought they gave me the education discount (plus voucher) and free applecare. dunno why, i'm not a student nor did i claim to be

WHY, when i plug an ipod into my macbook LIKE I ALWAYS DO, would the "do not disconnect" warning flash up on the ipod but no application on the mac - itunes, last.fm - acknowledge that there's an ipod plugged in and show the symbol? why? why? why? why would it do that for no reason?
