When you take your iPod to an Apple store and you take with you the invoice, I think the genius deep will help you to unlock the iPod. If you can't prove the iPod is yours? no soup for you.

you can't. it's obvious an internal connection has got loose. the devices are manufac'd by machine not human hands replace it

The IPod say 'Disabled try again in 23,257,464 minutes. It wont let me do anything/

Turn it off , hold down home button plug into cord hooked to iTunes and it should do a master reset

Put the back of the ipod to your head and press a button. If you don't hear a nice whirring sound but a clicking, then the hard drive is bad. An iPod classic uses a laptop drive with a different connector and can be replaced.

Call Apple and they can reset it in there computer system and it will link like you want.

How did you get it in your ipod did you use your friends computer or was it transfer from i cloud what firmware update do you have on your ipod we need more details to get to the bottom of this

Hold down theShift and Control buttons when you plug in the iPod / iPhone to prevent it from syncing, then from the iTunes menu, click on the device under the left panel. Make sure you've got "manually manage music and videos" checked as well as "enable disk use," which will come in handy later as it lets the device appear in Windows Explorer as an external drive.As far as images go, for all models of iPod, they're found under the decidedly more public folder Photos, so once you've enabled disk usage, it's pretty easy to find. However, if you haven't checked "include full-resolution photos" under your iPod's Photos tab in iTunes, all you'll see here is a Thumbs folder, which contains the pics in the .ithmb format specifically tailored for the iPod screen. If you're in desperate need of these low-res copies, you can find conversion tools online pretty easiliy.

make sure the cds are not loaded upside down.

Did you ever get a resolution to this issue? I'm currently having the exact same problem.

There are various types of Ipod cables for cars. Most of them use FM transmitting mechanism whereby you pick an FM station and the music will be transmitted to said station or the type which act as an external auxiliary. With the external auxiliary you have to change the car radio mode to aux. As long as the cable is properly connected and not in bad shape then if you change to auxiliary mode it should play on your car speakers. Try this option and get back to me.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

where is the cd player from? is it an after market cd player?

If your cd-changer will play normal cd's but not the burned ones then the burned ones are the problem. Some cd changers are not able to play some burned cd's because either the format they were burned in is not compatible(mp3,wma,ect or disc not finalized) or the cd-r type is not compatible(cd-rw,cd-ram or just that particular brand of blank cd). Are the burned cd's just a copy of an original or a collection of MP3 files? If they are MP3 files then the changer or car stereo may not be able to play them or they are not burned in the correct format for the changer. Also sometimes certain brands of burnable cds will not work in some cd players so you could buy a single cd-r of various brands and try each one to see if one works. Also try using a can of compressed air to clean out the cd changer compartment of any dust particles. Make sure the cds are scratch free and no fingerprints. Verify the cd changer magazine is working properly and not cracked/broken ect. Let me know if you have any questions.

where did you plug this behind the radio ? or at the cd changer cable ?, the interface needs to be plug into the radio not the cd changer cable

sounds like a software issue with you ipod check for updates if none is avalible unfortunatly you will need to restore your nano to factory condition make sure to back up all your files first

Hi,
If it's saying "No Changer" then it's possible that one of the connections between the radio and the changer itself has become disconnected, a possible blown fuse or worse still the changer itself has failed.

First of all check the fuse box, make sure there are not any blown fuses there and if you have to refer to your VW manual if you got the CD multi-changer with the car.
Locate the changer itself and check that any leads has not become disconnected and check behind the radio itself to make sure nothing has become disconnected.
Once you have checked all connections on the radio and changer, and checked the fuses, and you are happy that all seems well then you can try your changer again.
Don't forget to replace any blown fuses you find!!!
If you need anymore help or the changer still is not picked up by the radio please post back.


Good luck.

Spray silicone lubericate spray on the rails where the door slides on. You can also use that spray on your window tracks. Works great
