iPod Touch 5th Generation: Home button is stuck and iPod won't turn on

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 07:55:49 -0700

The home button to my 5th gen ipod broke about two months ago, and just today the screen went black and wouldn't come back on. I know it was charged, and even if it wasn't, if I plugged it into the power adapter it would have come on, but it didn't. I read that pressing the home button and the power button at the same time usually fixes this probably, but my home button is broken so I cannot do that. is there anything else I can do?

iPod Touch: iPod disabled for 21+ million minutes (can't restore)

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 10:56:42 -0700

So the other day I just randomly picked up up my iPod and it showed the lock screen that typically shows up when someone guesses the wrong password too many times except for this time it read "iPod is disabled, try again in 21,741,428 minutes." The last thing I want to do is wait 40 years to use my iPod again. Now I know the common solution to this problem is to simply restore it, but I have not backed up any of my files or synced it to any computer yet. I haven't had it too long and have just been buying songs off the device. The last thing I want to do is lose all the money I put into it by restoring it and erasing the files. When I try to pull it up on iTunes is says: "iTunes cannot connect with iPod because it is locked. Please enter code and try again." I've been told to take it into the Apple Store. Can they do anything? Please help!

iPod Touch 4th Generation: How do you revive a completely DEAD iPod Touch?

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 07:32:34 -0700

I have been fixing iPods for my own kids and their friends. I am able to fix most of them, but some just have me stumped.

Some are completely dead.

How do I tell what is wrong with them?

By completely dead, I mean iTunes won't recognize them and they won't power on.

I have tried the trick where you short the positive battery terminal to ground.

I have tried holding down Power and Home buttons for 15 seconds.

Is there an easy way to tell if the problem is the 30 pin connector before you replace the connector (it's not a trivial task...)?

Thanks for your help !!

JBL XTREME: Why is my bluetooth speaker randomly turning off? (JBL Xtreme)

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 05:55:53 -0700

Recently I've been experiencing some difficulties with my JBL Xtreme. The device will randomly turn off after about half an hour or so when not charging, even when fully charged. When it turns off I am able to start it again, but the problem only gets worse and it'll turn off again after only a couple of minutes. Eventually it becomes impossible to start at all until it's plugged back into the charger again. It boots up fully charged as well after that.

The device is about a year old and the problem occurs both while connected via bluetooth and via AUX. It's well taken care of too.

What could possibly be causing this problem? Does the device believe that its battery has been drained or something? I'm really at a loss, and appreciative of all help I can get.
