    did the ipod say disk mode? Disk mode is like safe mode but for ipods. What windows are your running. You may also have a driver conflict.


    check your device manager:
    Right click on my computer, goto manage

    then you want to click on the device manager. make sure there are no "!" and if they are please list them.

    now try another form of rebooting:

    Turn on your hold switch and the turn it back off then do the select and menu button to reboot.

    Are you dual booting with a linux or is it straight out ipod?

    Did Disk Mode work?

  • Anonymous Nov 13, 2007

    With me operating my own business, I would recommend doing both, Now I
    personally would take apart the laptop and blow the air out because
    blowing air thru the fan will not just clear the fan but will blow the dust back into the computer.

    Try both and let me know how it goes

How do i reboot my i phone

Hi Kevinjones, there are several ways to reboot your iPhone.
Visit the link below for more help on restarting your device:

How to restart
  1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
  3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

How to force restart You should force restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a last resort, and only if it's not responding. Follow these steps to force restart your device:

  • On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
  • On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Restart your iPhone iPad or iPod touch

My Ipod touch screen suddenly began to display everything huge. What happened?

Hi mariaelenaga,

To set a minimum font size for messages:


Choose "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" > Minimum Font Size, then choose Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Giant.


Also, you may need to try the following:


Restarting and Resetting iPod touch

If something isn't working right, restarting, force quitting an application, or resetting iPod touch will likely solve the problem.


Restart iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.

Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.


If you can't turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset. A

reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn't resolve the problem.


Force quit an application: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch

for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button

until the application quits.


Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

This information was sourced from the iPod Touch official user guide at:

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_touch_3.0_User_Guide.pdf


Hope this helps.

Best regards,

CellPhBuddy.

Hi my ipod video 30 gb wont play music anymore just gets stuck at 0.00 i tried restoring and restarting it but nothing worked

Have you tried this with the device unplugged?

Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)


Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

My Ipod Nano 4G won't open

  1. First make sure that your iPod’s hold button isn’t on. This is the little switch at the top left corner of the iPod video that you can move to “lock” the iPod’s buttons. If this is on, you’ll see a little orange area at the top of the iPod nano and a lock icon on the iPod’s screen. If you see either of these, move the switch back and see if this fixes the problem.
  2. If the hold switch wasn’t the problem do the following:
  3. Move the hold switch to the on position and then move it back to off.
  4. Hold down the Menu button on the clickwheel and the center button at the same time. Hold these together for 6-10 seconds. This should restart the iPod nano. You’ll know the iPod is restarting when the screen changes and the Apple logo appears.
  5. If this doesn’t work at first, you should repeat step 4

LG viewty switching itself off and not restarting until battery removed and replaced LG Viewty randomly switches itself off and won't switch on again until battery has been removed and replaced.

I have exactly the same problem! My Viewty just switches itself off whenever I send/receive text/calls. I can't even switch it on anymore without it turning itself off after less than a minute!
I have contacted LG, but they are not responding. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
