TROUBLESHOOTING HELP:
Below you will find extensive content to help
revive your iPod if you are experiencing problems starting your iPod. We have
also included Repair Guides designed to help you replace & repair parts inside
your iPod.
Five R's:
If you're having trouble with an iPod, try
these steps (known as the five R's) one at a time until the issue's are
resolved. These steps can help revive a troubled iPod and save time and money
you would otherwise spend on parts/labor.
Note: Please make sure that your iPod is fully charged and toggle the
Hold switch on and off before performing these steps.
- 1. Reset your iPod (1st, 2nd or 3rd
Gen), iPod nano (1st or 2nd Gen), iPod video (1st or 2nd Gen), iPod mini(1st
or 2nd Gen), or iPod shuffle(1st or 2nd Gen). Holding Menu + Center buttons
for at least 6 seconds normally will reset your iPod. Hold Menu + Play on the
3rd Generation iPod to perform a reset.
- 2. 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: iPod Video & iPod Nano).
- 3. Restart your computer, and make
sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
- 4. Reinstall your iPod and iTunes
software. You can download the latest versions of iPod Updater and iTunes from
Apple.com.
- 5. Restore your iPod using the latest
iPod Updater. Please note that restoring an iPod will erase all songs and
files on your iPod and restore it back to its original settings. After
restoring, you can transfer your music and files from your computer back to
your iPod again.
iPod Repair Guides:
The guides below will help you replace parts
needed to restore functionality to your broken iPod. These guides are a great
reference for replacing: iPod batteries, iPod LCD screens, iPod Hard drives,
