iPod Help

[iluvtofly 0]

So my iPod just started acting up. It shows that it's playing the music but nothing comes out of the headphones. I've tried several different pairs so I know it's not an issue with the headphones. Also, when it's hooked up to the FM transmitter in my car it doesn't put out any sound. However, when I hook it up to my computer it'll play through there just fine. Any suggestions or am I screwed?

hold down the top button and middle button until it reboots

i went through all the options and couldn't find a mute...i'll look again...the weird thing is that it still makes the clicky noise when scrolling

Open iTunes, connect iPod and restore default settings.

Listen to regular radio.
Many generations have managed to survive okay on that.

That's all fine and dandy until you're out in the middle of the Nevada desert where there are NO radio stations for hundreds of miles.

In the car that's not a problem. The thing is that I use it when working out. Something about working out without music makes it really boring and I'm less inclined to workout.

How old is your iPod?

Less than a year. It's one of those new iPod Classics with 30 gigs. I have an old iPod nano that still works. I had just bought this one because I ran out of room on my old one. Too many songs.

Then he should download some podcasts of his favorite radio shows to his IPod....oops. Nevermind.

Make some playlists, use your nano for now and when you get a chance, go to an apple store and see what they say.

Usually when my iPod acts up, I have to let the battery complete drain and its all good when I turn it back on. I've never been able to get any useful info from them online but so far that's worked every time. Never had the issue you are having though.

There is a mute. When it starts playing a song, use your click wheel and scroll clockwise, which should turn the volume back up.

You obviously do not understand addiction. (Or maybe you just don't have an iPod YET.....) There are very few modern devices I would have a hard time living without, but my iPod is one of them. I'm not proud of it, but I have gotten very used to having my music with me at all times!

[iluvtofly 0]

I've tried that with no luck. I'm going to try the whole draining the battery thing next.

[Nightingale 0]

Just take it to the apple store. It's probably something simple.

[iluvtofly 0]

Unfortunately there are no Apple stores near me. I bought it online.

If it's less than a year old, it may still be under warranty. Call apple and find out.

Have you dropped it? It's possible that the headphone jack connector is broken inside the ipod.
