Chosen Solution
My iPod will sort of light up, it just always says do not disconnect, and there appears to be nothing going on… what should I do? I do not even know how to open it up, let alone what to do once in there. Please, I would forever worship whoever can help me!
does the iPod shows up in itunes ? click on the eject sign - any change on the iPod screen ? if not, try the hard reset, press and hold the menu and select button at the same time until the iPod restarts, while booting up - unplug it from the computer. i hope this helps
The first thing to try is reseting your iPod. Hold the Menu and Select (center of the click wheel) buttons simultaneously for about 6-10 seconds. The apple logo should appear for a while, and after a little bit it should go to your iPod’s main screen. In general, Apple has 5 R’s for troubleshooting your iPod: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, and Restore. For more info, here is Apple’s troubleshooting page, as well as iFixit’s troubleshooting page.
