Troubleshooting: Your iPod Won’t Turn On

If your iPod won’t turn on, mostly likely it’s one of two things: (1) Check to see if your

button lock (that Hold button on top of the iPod) is turned on. If it is, all buttons are

locked. Slide it over so you don’t see the orange indicator any longer (which unlocks

all the buttons), then press any button to turn on your iPod. If that doesn’t do the trick,

then go to Plan B: (2) It’s probably the battery. Try plugging your iPod into the wall

using the AC Power Adapter. If neither of these two solutions works, try resetting your

iPod (using the instructions on the next page).
