IPod Nano frozen on "Connected" Screen

Hey guys,
My mom gave me her old nano (4th gen) and it was out of bateries when I plugged it in. It turned on and I had it forget what was already on there and put all of my music on it. Once it was finished it told me I could take it out, so I did, but any buttons I was pressing weren't working. I quickly realized that the lock icon was on, but the lock toggle wasn't on lock. I playyed around with that toggle and tried the menue and home button thing, but nothing worked. I decided to plug it in to restore it and while it was restoring a notification came up that said that I had taken the nano out of the connector, but I hadn't. When I did, nothing changed and it is still lit up with the sign "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." Not sure what else I can do. It's possible that it's just old and done I guess but It would be awesome if someone had a soloution because I have an early flight tomorrow and it would be awesome to have an iPod Thanks!

Sounds like there are a few problems, the first being that the hold switch is damaged and in need of replacement. You can try to restore it again using another known working 30 pin connector cable as there is a possibility that the current one is faulty or damaged. If the restore does not resolve the issue, I'm afraid having the iPod serviced or replaced is your only option.

2 ipod nanos - frozen on language screen

We have 4 total ipods and 2 from 2008 (4th gen) are both stuck on the language screen. I have tried to reset both (multiple times), restoring, using different ports, updated to latest itunes, tape, etc. It seems strange that the earlier models are working perfectly fine. What can I do to get them unfrozen! I'm very frustrated!

Hello All;
Same here, but I just received iPod from Apple.com store....resets o.k. but comes right back to frozen in language screen. attempted reset several times, also restore with iPod updater...no luck. Did i get a LEMON????? Unit works o.k. in ITunes, I can save and read to it in disk mode. HHHEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!

New ipod nano will not connect to my win 7 computer

NEW IPOD NANO WILL NOT CONNECT CORRECTLY TO 2011 KIA SPORTAGE

Have a new Ipod nano. when I connect it to 2011 Kia Sportage it does not display the song list correctly. Have cable that Kia sells and it worked with my old Nano but not not the new one. Same results with cable that came with new nano. Help please

Alternatively, you can always use a double ended 3.5mm audio plug and just manipulate the playlist via the iPod and not the radio.

Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

Old ipod nano - when i connect it to my imac - error message

I have an old iPod Nano - when i connect it to my iMac, I get an error message that says I can't have more than 5 computers authorized with my account - My account only shows 4, but that's really beside the point since this iMac is already authorized and I sync other devices from it. Any suggestions? It won't let me add any new content to this iPod.

My iPod is frozen. The screen is lit. What to do?

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 another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple will not just "give" you a new one. Apple will replace the iPod for their standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
The replacement may be refurbished or new, at Apple's discretion, and there will be no way for you to tell the difference.

Itunes froze, now NANO frozen with "CONNECTED" stuck on screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello
Itunes froze, so i couldn't eject the ipod. I then tried to eject it in the Windows task bar, this then froze. So i restarted the computer and took out the ipod and now the nano is truly frozen with "connected" stuck on the screen, the ipod is totally unresponsive.
Please advise
Thank you much

Mine did the exact same thing! I called apple and went through the whole name and email address thing. push the center and menu button and the same time. When an apple symbol shows up let go of the buttons and then your regular menu should be fine

IPod Touch frozen on Connect to iTunes Screen and cannot be restarted

My iPod Touch is frozen on the connecting to iTunes screen (The one with a usb plug pointing to iTunes logo) even when I plug it into my computer. Windows do give sound when I plugin, but it was not the successful connected sound but repeating the first note for three times =_=" iPod then appears the connect to iTunes logo, but it just stuck there. I hold the sleep/wake button for 5 seconds, it goes black directly, and windows would give unplug sound alert. But the iPod actually gives the white apple logo immediately without me pressing any button and goes back to the connect to iTunes logo. AGAIN. And computer gives ridiculous plugin alert then everything just go round and round and round.
Now iTunes won't detect it, therefore no restoration; Restart won't work either. If I press the sleep/wake button for 2 seconds without connecting it to the computer, it appears the apple logo, then go back to the connecting to iTunes screen immediately, and goes dark in 30 seconds.
Everything started after I updated new iOS for iPod touch, and I dunno how long would it take to run out the battery under this condition -_- I have updated to the newest iTunes version too.
Needs help urgently and thanks a lot!!

Sorry to hear that you're still having a problem. The only other help I could find is at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/ipod-how-to-restart-frozen-begin-troubleshooting.html
Hope that helps.

IPod nano will not connect and the Apple logo screen stays up

Hello,
Earlier today I shut my iPod nano off normally (by holding the pause/play button). Later, when I went to listen to it again, I found it wouldn't turn on. I tried resetting it, and I got the low-battery signal, so I plugged it in. The thing is, the Apple logo screen is illuminated and I cannot get it off that screen, and normally when I plug my iPod in, iTunes comes up. iTunes didn't come up and it says there is nothing plugged in. What should I do?
Windows XP

Okay.
If the Apple logo is not going away and the iPod won't get to the main menu (when not connected to the computer), try what those links suggest.
If your iPod does not get to the main menu or say Do Not Disconnect, it will not be recognized by the computer. You have to get the iPod to say Do Not Disconnect, show the main menu, or just get past the Apple logo before it will be recognized. The above links will help you get the iPod get past the Apple logo.
The iPod cannot be recognized by iTunes or the computer if it is stuck at the Apple logo.
Finally, don't connect the iPod while the iPod preferences in iTunes are open.
