Ipod nano connection message displayed after disconnection

how do I get my ipod nano to respond? It was connected to my macbook pro and wasn't showing up in iTunes. I searched for a way to eject it but it didn't respond, so I just disconnected it, and the same message, "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" was still on the screen. It's been several hours and Apple wanted me to pay $29 just to solve an issue that if I'm not mistaken has happened with other nano's and regular ipods. How do I solve this? This has never happened.

Did you try a hard reset of the device yet?

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • HT201413 When connecting iPod Nano, getting message that "an ipod is connected but cannot be identified properly".

    When I connect my iPod Nano to the same installation of iTunes that we use for my wife's iPod Classic I am getting the message that "an iPod is connected but cannot be properly identified".  This has worked before and I can connect my wife's iPod Classic and synch with no problems.  I have tried resetting the Nano but that did not fix it.  I am running Windows Vista.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I fixed it.  In itunes click help, run diagnostics, run tests, the test comes to ipod and says it is not running correctly so click the HELP and follow the instructions to the end.  Mine was fixed after i restarted computer!!!

  • Ipod nano connects then disconnects

    Since installing ITunes 11 my IPOD Nano A1236 goes through the following sequence when connected to either my XP computer or my W7/64 laptop: "Connected,"  "Synchronizing,"  "Ejecting" and "OK to Disconnect."  It does not appear as a device in ITunes.In Device Manager on the laptop, the Apple Mobile Device Driver is reported to be operating correctly.  The Windows USB Mass Storage Device reports "Windows is uninstalling this device(Code 21)."  The IPOD does charge its battery through the USB port, and the playlist still plays.  What's going on here?

    I've same prob!
    Ipod disappears after few seconds from Explorer tree!

  • IPod Nano does not display songs after upgrading to iTunes 7.1 & SW1.3

    After installing iTunes 7.1 on my WIN machine and connecting my iPod nano iTunes asked me about upgrading my iPod's firmware. After I did this all the songs on my iPod where gone. When I connect my iPod to iTunes I see that 3,8 GIG is still in use, which should be correct, and it states it is analyzing song for "gapless playback". However, my songs don't show up in iTunes, nor on the iPod. I rebooted the firmware on the iPod (menu+select) but no results.
    a) how to get my songs back to my iPod without going thru a factory reset?
    b) how to get rid of iTunes 7 and V. 6 back?
    Thank in advance.

    Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
    Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).
    This Apple document may help too -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

  • Ipod nano Connection problems

    Hi,
    Whenever I Connect my Ipod nano It won't stop displaying the do not dissconect sign. What am I doing wrong?

    Ben, it will always display the Do Not Disconnect message until you eject it if you've chosen either of these options:
    1. Manual updating of songs and playlists
    2. Automatic updating with Enable Disk Use checked.
    If either option is chosen, you'll need to manually eject your iPod using the icon in the lower right-hand corner of iTunes.

  • Ipod nano will not display anything, will not charge, will not turn on/off/reset and will not show in itunes

    my ipod nano 5th generation stopped working not long ago
    i was sitting down, just listening until a song in the middle of an album ended and none played afterwards
    i went to look to see what had happened but nothing would display; it was just a black screen
    i was confused so i started to hit the menu button to see if it had just went to sleep or something
    i could hear the noises that the buttons make when you push them, but the screen stayed black
    i went to see if it would charge (via dock/stereo charger), but nothing showed up
    i then tried plugging it in (via cord) to the computer and still nothing; it would not even recognize my ipod in itunes
    my itunes is completely up to date and worked with my ipod even just a few days ago, so that shouldn't be the problem
    i've tried to reset, restore, and etc., but nothing seems to get it to turn on
    it seems like i might not be able to fix it, but is there any way i can see my files (music) on the ipod so if i have to get a new one i remember what to put on it?
    help, please ~

  • IPod Nano (1st gen) Displays Incorrect album art.

    I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride with my nano when I realized it was showing incorrect album art for some of the songs. I have not noticed any pattern. I also have a 60gb photo that IS showing the correct album art so I'm pretty sure its just the nano (I updated them both today to check, and still same situation). I have tried restarting the iPod already. Anyone know what I should do?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    iTunes 6
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    iTunes 7
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • IPod nano stuck in "Do not disconnect"

    My wife's new nano was working perfectly in all operations.
    Now, when we plug it into the computers (more details to follow), 1) the computers don't recognize the iPd, and 2) the iPod says "Do not disconnect" (i.e., the iPod /does/ know it's plugged in to a computer.
    DETAILS:
    * we've tried this on both USB ports on each of two PowerBook G4s, each running OS X 10.4.3. The iPod software is up to date on both computers.
    * when I reset the iPod (following the instructions in the KB), it works fine when /not/ connected to the Macs
    * the iPod /does/ accept charge from the computers when connected
    * I have /not/ tried FireWire, nor have I tried replacing the USB cable. (Mostly because it seems to work OK - iPod recognizes it's connected, and accepts charge)
    Anyone?

    I think this may be connected to the ongoing problem that the nano is not officially supported by OS X 10.2.8. I have that configuration, and while I seem to be able to download to the nano and play everything OK, it does get stuck in "Do not disconnect." I just get brave and eject the iPod while it's still showing that message, and everything seems fine.
    I haven't seen the option for downloading photos, so maybe that does require 10.3.
    I'm running a 4 1/2 year old iBook which does have USB 2.0, and the download speed seems fine.

  • IPod Nano error message when syncing to iTunes to update Nike+

    I am using an 8 gb iPod nano multi touch with Nike+ and when I connect it to iTunes to update Nike+ to sync my runs it continuously says "The Nike+ website is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." This has been occuring since Nike updated their website. I have updated iTunes and still the error messages occurs. Anyone else have this issue if so is there a solution?

    I too cannot sync my iPod. I get the message "Unknown Error 13019." What the heck does this mean? Can anyone assist or provide guidance?

  • IPod Nano Error Message (-48)

    I've just got my NEW iPod Nano (Red 4GB) out of the box and when I connected it to iTunes I keep getting the Error Message "Unable to update iPod Bob Error Message (-48)."
    Despite the (-48) Error Message the iPod does seemingly update Songs/Photos etc.
    I have got a 60GB Video iPod and a new Black iPod Nano (8GB) and have no problems with either of them.
    Does anyone know what Error (-48) is????
    Thank you in advance!
    Bob

    I have just got back from the Regent Street Apple Store - the trip took 5 hours (I live way outside of London) and cost £35 in fares (thanks Apple!)
    I met with a guy from the iPod Genius Bar - and there is indeed a "problem" with Error (-48) which Apple are fully aware of. I took my iPod Nano (4GB Red) which DOES have this problem and my iPod Nano (8GB Black) which does not PLUS my iBook so the guys at Apple could see for themselves the problem I am having.
    It seems they are aware of the problem - but could offer NO solution at this time and Apple are definaitely working it! They took data dumps of my iTunes / Mac Configuration etc. and details of both Black and Red iPods (serial numbers etc.)
    They were very helpful - and advised me to keep the Red 4GB and sit tight until the Update/Patch to solve the problem is available from Apple.
    I was one of MANY turning up at the Genius Bar that day with the SAME problem!
    So - there are no quick / sure solutions to this one - I guess we have to wait for Apple to release the fix.
