  • Whenever this happens to my iPod , I always hold on to the sleep button for 3 seconds . Then I keep on holding on to it and press the one button with my other hand. Hold the sleep and one button for 10 seconds. Then without removing ur finger from the one button , release the sleep button and continue holding on to the home button for about 10 seconds! And Voila!!

    Wait......... Sorry! This is for IPod Touch! My bad.

  • all you have to do is turn it on to where the apple appears and hit it hard like 5 times on a table and it should work, now I am having troubles trying to restore it. An error code of 1439 comes up. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • when yu reset it, dont let go of the center button, just release the menu button, and then hold down the play button (keep the center button down at all times untill disk mode comes up)

  • The hard drive has 99% failed in any 6th/7th gen ipod which shows the apple log or a red x. Hold it to your ear, if it clicks it's broken. The only fix is a replacement or try banging your ipod on a hard surface a few times until it stops clicking. Otherwise sell it for parts you will get £30

  • help me my ipod only has the apple & when i slam it it works but freezes again!

  • try charging it for 8+ hours. thats what i did and it restarted and i reset it to factory settings a re-synced it and now it works fine.

  • I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!

  • dammmm,im having thesame problem as your ipod mine is 80g classic,i dont know what to do,i wonder maybe if you get your one solved,let me know for any solution please

  • @aleixolopo A few days ago, I hit it really hard against my hand and it turned on! All of my music was still there but I, unfortunately, was unable to get it onto my computer since it was corrupted. When I restarted it, it turned back on (after a 30 minute wait -_-) and all my music was gone :(. It takes half an hour to start up and runs really slowly. So, basically, it's fixable but not even worth it. :[

  • well i was gonna try to fix it i could pay for the shipping i might be able to.

  • @FireBall517 You mean you would send it back to me or you would keep it for yourself? lol

  • @basoon27 i would send it to you if i got it working again and if the ipod still didnt work then you could sell it for parts on ebay at least

  • you have any plans for it

  • @FireBall517 Nahh, it's old now. I'm just saving up for an iPod touch or iPad or something...I tried fixing it but never could :P

  • @basoon27 Go for the iPod Touch, it's way better than the classic, just make sure you get a protective case for it cause the screen can break easily

  • what did you do with it

  • @FireBall517 It's somewhere in my room lol.

  • my ipod classic dont work i opened and doesnt show nothing i was tryin2 fix it please someone help me hit me a msg okay

  • maybe you aren't suppose to let go of the center button when you switch from pressing the menu to the play button.

    I'm sorry if someone already suggested that

  • hey this happend to mine were you able to fix it please reply

    thanks

  • Unfortunately, I was not... :(. Good luck, maybe yours is "fixable".

  • try this turn hold switch on the off hold menu and center button just like the reset thing then when your supposed to hold center and play don't hold left and center this will put the ipod in test mode then push manual test which is menu go to i/0 test test hard drive its probly dead you can test everything in your ipod in this mode

  • buy your music

  • @muk546 i do.....

  • restore it thats what i did to mine and it works fine now

  • @shadowhaterz576 How do you do a full reset?

  • Drop it in the trash can and buy a zune 80 ..Had mine 3 years never had one problem

  • if you download the latest version of itunes it will ask you itself to restore it. otherwise if yr pc and itunes reads the ipod, there is an option given by itunes to restore the device

  • why the fuck would u buy an 80GB do u kno how many songs that holds like holy fuck buy a 8GB not 80.

  • I wanted an 80 GB not for the songs only, but also for movies (which I have many of). in addition, I have 10 games and over 3000 pictures. I wanted the iPod classic and this was the lowest model. When I put everything on it, it came to about 30 GB which is more than any other iPod model that is not the 80 GB. That's why I bought it.

  • could've bought ipod touch 32 gb

  • open it up and then disconect the hard drive and reconnect it then put ur ipod back together and it should start i figured this out after trying to reset it many times with no luck,thought id open it up and have a look tried that and it worked for me :)

    (if ur not sure how to open it there is a vid on utube how to replace the battery DONT remove the batt just follow my instructions)

    Can You Please Help Me ANYONE?

  • either I have really bad luck, or iphones are just a plain unrelyable phone, because this has happend TWICE to me

  • Buy a broken iPod like yours in Craigslist, (w/ broken screen) use it for the spare parts. You can buy them for between $40 - $50

    I own 3 black classic 80gb iPods by doing this little frankenstein thing with broken iPods so far.

  • @brianpaulashleyown Your battery is probably dead. Change it or go to the Apple Store

  • you have to reinstall the soft

  • when something doesent work of mine i thow it against a wall ,some times it fixes its about 2% out of 100% of the time it fixes the problem or it brakes evenmore!

    TRY IT . IT MIGHT HELP YOU

  • hahahahaha it's funny you say that. yesterday i got aggrivated with it and started smacking it lol. it didn't work :(

  • lol worth a try :)

  • agreeeeee hhhhhhhh

  • hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • 0:34 FAIL

  • lol

  • my ipod classic has the same red x problem can someone help me with this please

  • Try to reformat it through my computer. It just resets your ipod like you first bought it. Worth a shot.

  • Same thing happened to me. I just took to geek squad since i had a plan. I got a reimburnished(i think thats how you spell it) one. Now this one wont hold a charge and the serial # is different than the prevoius one so i cant go to them to fix it.

  • hey i was wondering how to fix my ipod cassic .. it has the big red X

    and i been trying to fix it can you help me?

  • I think your battery possibly died and this happened to me. I bought a new battery and it started working but i had the newer version

  • o ok. i called Apple and they said it would be like $150 dollars to fix. why pay that to fix my old ipod when i could use the money to put towards a new iPod touch? lol

  • it's a scam. the price is so high because they want you to get another ipod. more moolah for them haha

  • i have that problem with my 30gb

  • hey i was wondering how to fix my ipod cassic .. it has the big red X

    and i been trying to fix it can you help me?

  • restart it  it works

  • how do u do that

  • My iPod nano is doing the same thing. I was told to get the battery replaced.

  • I've had alot of problems similar to this where the website support was no use at all. Here's a sure-fire way to get the help you need, worked with me every time. Directly call the company, tell them you tried everything and trust me, they can't just hang up on you. This'll work and I wish you the best of luck.

    (Btw I'm A Subscriber For A While now =D)

  • Thanks alot for the advice! I'll be sure to call Apple as soon as I can.! O and thanks for remaining subscribed. About 7 people have unsubscribed and I don't know why =(. But thanks for the help!

  • NP, Your Videos Are Pretty Good, And you're responsive =D

  • thanks! i called apple support (and got disconnected twice lol) but they helped me as best as they could and came to the conclusion that it is a hardware failure . that means i would hafta pay $150 to get it fixed. =P might as well just by a new iPod. i was thinking of buying an iPod touch for my next bday anyway so its all good =D

  • Ooooohhh, sorry then, better luck next time ;P

  • um kis= anything w/ kisame in it and pg left.. :(

  • I have an Ipod classic with a screen problem (blacks out)I still have the warranty but they said they said they ran out off parts!!! Its things like these that suck

  • hahahaha thats awful for you! =P you should go back to the store. its not right for Apple to do that to you if you are still under warranty. by the way, please subscribe to me! thanks! =D

  • Basoon Ask PG or Maybe Kis.. IM sure they had an ipod before

  • ok ill ask them. what are their usernames?

  • im sorry to hear that did u keep ur receipt

  • i dont think i have it =( but it wont make a difference cause i got it two years ago. DEFINITELY out of warranty by now =P

  • Plug it into your computer, boot up iTunes, sync it and see if that works... if that doesn't work then you have to take it to an Apple Store and see what they can do. If your warranty's expired then they can't help you.

  • yea i tried that but iTunes won't detect it =P o well thanks anyway =D

  • Sorry dude i don't have an ipod

  • o well =P thanks for watching anyway. and share it with whoever you know that does have one =) (and tell them to subscribe =D)

  • try randomly clicking menu button
