I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

  • HT1414 I am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says  your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

  • My iPod Nano 6th generation doesn't seem to recognize album artwork. I've downloaded the artwork manually, and I've even restored my iPod to defaults several times, but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution?

    My iPod Nano 6th Generation is not picking up album artwork. On several of my tracks, it recognizes the album art, but it doesn't seem to recognize the others. I've tried uploading the artwork onto several albums manually, I've cleared the downloaded artwork to download them again, I've even restored the iPod to its default settings...nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have a solution to this

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

    my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

    This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC.  So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC.  Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
    It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
    If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
    Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there.  If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.

  • I have restored my ipod nano 2nd generation but its still not working

    i have reset my ipod and restored it but it is still not working. i have connected to itunes and it has loaded some music onto it but though the light comes on you cannot see anything else on the screen. any suggestions would be appreciated

    It might be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • HT1339 after restoring my ipod nano (6th gen) it says that it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. i cannot get passed this stage. help!!!

    I have restored my ipod nano 6th generation and am being told it is now in recovery mode so needs to be restored which is what i have just done. I can't get any further than this. Please help.

    Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
    I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Pedometer

    I have a brand new iPod Nano 6th Generation, which has the built in Pedometer into it. For some reason, when I go to use it with Nike+ and syncing it to iTunes it doesn't work. None of the Walks I have done actually go onto the Nike+ website. Nike+ claims I have no devices.
    I have it set to Automatically Send to Nikeplus.com
    I already have a Nike+ account, and I have alone tried to sync walks. It claims there sync'd, and I click Visit Site, but it takes me to http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/?token=blahblah=2&wtype=pedometer, but then I click around and there are no devices.

    I have a nano6.
    I am not able to synchro.
    But reading Nike guide on the nano6 I have found that, you can read it on this discussion:
    ipod nano and nike plus
    or :
    (http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/active)
    “Nike+ Active is taking a break.
    The site will be down while we move to the new Nike+. Your steps, runs and gym workouts are safe and sound. When Nike+ Active returns this fall, your data will be there -- on a platform that lets you do more than ever before. Thanks for conquering the world with us, and, in the meantime,check out the new Nike+.”
    Is this the answer? It is so...big that I am not even convinced. Have they closed the site for 2 month or more just to develop a new site!?
    other cases in:
    TA24232 Nike+ temporarily unavailable

  • Ipod nano 6th generation won't shuffle entire library when connected to car

    Hello,
    I have been connecting my ipod nano 6th generation to my car (a Citroen DS3) using the usb cable. The problem I have is that the music defaults to playing alphabetically through the artists and will not allow me to shuffle my entire music library. I can see my library, arranged by artist, on my cars display and can select which artist I want to listen to, but the car itself will only allow me to shuffle songs for the artist that is currently playing and not the entire library. I cannot control the music that is playing via the ipod itself as it locks itself as it is being used as an accessory.
    Has anybody got any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Abi

    Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com  - you need your device serial number for this.  It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano.  (!!!)  
    Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open  :/

  • HT1459 MY IPOD NANO 6TH GENERATION WILL NOT TURN ON I GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS AND PLAYED THE RADIO ON IT WITH OUT PLUGING IT INOT ITUNES AND I WAS WONERING HOW TO FIX IT ?

    hi my ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on what should i do ...no batery left and never pluged it into itunes

    Hi meganisawsome,
    If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:

    I have been given an iPod nano 1st generation I wish to completely wipe it clean and put new music into it. I cannot manage to do it any help would be great

    Hi Bevella,
    I understand that you were given a 1st generation iPod nano and you would like to completely erase it so you can start clean and sync your own music on to it. The process you want to run is called a restore. The following link is the iPod nano Features Guide that explains the restore process with steps. The restore section is on pages 50 and 51.
    iPod nano
    Features Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA101/en_US/iPod_nano_Features_Guide.pdf
    Updating and Restoring iPod Software
    You can use iPod Updater to update or restore your iPod software. Apple periodically updates iPod software to improve performance or add features. It is recommended that you update your iPod nano to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod nano back in its original state.
    If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not affected.
    If you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod nano, including songs, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod nano settings are restored to their original state.
    To update or restore iPod nano with the latest software:
    Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update has the latest software for all models of iPod.
    Double-click the software installation file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the iPod update.
    Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application opens. If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod software.
    Thanks for reaching out,

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.
