Problem for Apple iPod Video 30 GB Black (MA446LL/A) MP3 Player

Apple iPod Model A1136, 30 GB.




By fastedy11 on Feb 14, 2008

" "
Player seems to lock up in the middle of playing a song and is very difficult to unlock. I have been using it with an iPod Player/Amplifier and leaving it plugged in. Right now it is on and I am unable to turn it off or complete any functions.

Appreciate help....Edward Northey.

First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the left, here's how you reset:

You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will shut off, then back on.

hmmm, the problem could be one of to things, either the ipod has frozen for a one of thing (like computers sometimes do) or your HD is going (or the wire is loose).

id first try and reset the ipod (hold down the play button untill it resests) if that doesnt work:
1) hold your ipod in your hand (the port/plug downwards)
2) hit it fairly hard onto a note pad or somthing, this will nock the HD lead back into the HD.
3) if this doesnt work your ipod's HD is broken.

a friend let me borrow his ipod and the battery was dead. I tried to charge it via my computer and it has a "do not Disconnet" on the screen. How do I fix it.

Comment by kumbian, posted on Aug 28, 2008

another way of reseting the ipod is to physically open it and disconnect the battery.helps more especially with the problem of do not disconnect issues. it worked for me.

I loaded movies on my iPod and it seems like it locked up because it won't do anything and I can't get it to turn off. If you could give me some assistance I would appreciate it.

Also ~ it didn't come with a manual or any kind of instructions. Can you please tell me where I could get one?

Thanks in advance ~~ Janice
