iPod help please!!! ergent!!!!!


Question Posted Friday March 14 2008, 10:24 pm

Hey. So my iPod is being sooooo stupid! I'm so mad right now! please help!! so, I was just listening to it earlier and it was fine! and it was almost fully charged! so i pluged it in to add songs and itunes pulls up and it starts asking me all these weird questions about restarting my iPod, but if I restart it I'll loose all of my songs. So I clicked not right now and it says that it's sinking games. But I didn't want it to do that, so I clicked the x button at the top to stop. But then my iPod didn't say "Do not disconect" the screen just went blank. So I unpluged it,and now all it is doing is nothing. It just has a white screen. I can't do anything. And when I plug it in, it doesn't even say that its pluged in. And when I do the thing where you click the hold button back and forth and then hold down the menu button and the middle button, it makes the weird noise, kinda like a song or something. It's not long though, just about 3-5 seconds. So please! Tell me what to do!!! all i want to do is add songs! does it need some new kind of batteries or something?? and if so, where can i get them? pleaseeeeeee help!! thanks!

Restore your iPod (you called it restart, but iTunes says "Restore"). If you have all of the music on your computer, you can just put to the music back on the iPod. (if you don't have all the music on your computer, I suggest you get it before restoring your iPod.

Or, maybe you need to re-install iTunes.

Oh, and try holding the menu and middle button down longer. My brother has to hold them down for about 30 seconds before his iPod restarts.

If you've searched through the Apple website and the the internet enough, and yet your iPod still messes up, maybe it's time to get a new iPod! I don't recommend the newest iPod Nanos (the ones with video), because they're glitchy. But I'm guessing you like the video feature, so maybe you would like the new iPod Nano, though they don't hold much...
Sorry! I'm blabbering about iPods! But, anyway, if you have to buy a new iPod, make sure it fits all of your needs!

I hope that I helped!

Well it is possible that someone has been messing with your itunes. if it wasnt you putting games on the itunes then somebody messed that up for you.When you tried to restart it, I mean it should've restarted. Maybe you need to upgrade it really.Because iPod has only a battery that is rechargable and I believe you can not change batteries but you do have to replace it. If you have a warranty, hjust get a new one. My cousin had the same problem and so did my friend. They went to et uprgrades.and it costs them $$..depending on which updated iPod you will be trying to get.i hope i helped, there is really no other info I can ive you.
