IPod Nano wont turn on
I have had my Ipod nano for about 2 yrs , and i take good care of it: but suddenly one day it works then the next i cant even turn it on. I have attempted to charge it in a few docks but nothing happens, it is just dead. I have tried all the reset techniques but to no avail.My computer doesnt register it there either.
can anyone help with this issue plese?
I got angry after about 3 hours of messing with it and then was tempted to swing my ipod like a lasso until it hit my tv on accident, all that did was give a nice dent in the back of it, but hey it actually turned on haha but it was still frozen
- like a light tap sideways should work, happened to me a few times, as if your trying to set off the flash off in an old camera, but don't be to mean to it geeze :S. then try to do the hold ( menu + >= ) should start up enough to get windows or mac to recognize it.
after i got it to start i got a program called EphPod, my savior .
- plug it into the computer and start EphPod
- it cracks the ipod software and sets it at factory defults again (not trying to talk about other software btw, just happens to solve this problem)
- then shutoff EphPod and go into iTunes, reinstall and updated ipod software. only had to do it like twice so far.

Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(
By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!!I'd say that the iPod is toast.
Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit. -

Hi, I have an iPod nano and have just set up itunes etc. I have followed all instructions to set it up. As soon as it is all charged and ready to eject I eject and then the iPod will not turn on. It is as if it wont turn on without beging connected to the latop. Any suggestions? Many thanks
My iPod recently did this as well, so I restored my iPod by taking all the stuff (all of the video and audio) off and re-syncing it. I then restarted it by pressing both the home and lock buttons simultaneously, and it worked very well.
I hope this is helpful!

Ipod Nano , wont turn off ,displaying "charging" icon instead
Hey y'all
ive been using this ipod nano for a while now,no problems
recently updated it to the newest firmware
anyhow it doesnt turn off now,instead when the stop button is pressed for a few seconds,the screen goes blank then the "charging" icon appears even when the ipod is disconnected
also,when the ipod is working the battery meter doesnt show,
and the "charging" icon is displayed instead
i tried restoring the ipod a few times,no effect
any ideas?Hi, my ipod nano has exactly the same problem---won't turn off, shows the big charging icon instead, even after resetting it many times, and successfully restoring/updating the firmware to v1.2. It plays music fine, but it won't shut off.
What ever happened at repair shop, did they say what is wrong? Maybe I have to send mine to a repair shop too.
Thanks

My Ipod Nano wont turn on but it is detected by itunes?
I plug my ipod in and itunes detects it with everything thats on it. But I can not get the screen to turn on and manual resteting it didnt do anything. Im not sure what the issue could be.
If your iPod nano has a Hold switch, make sure it is not in the ON position. Even if it is OFF, try moving it to ON and then OFF again, to see if that makes any difference.
If you did this to Reset it
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
that's a good thing to try. If you do not see the Apple logo on the screen immediately after the Reset, the likely cause is a faulty screen. Even if the iPod has a problem like data corruption, the Reset should still make the screen come on initially. Since the iPod appears in iTunes, the rest of the iPod seems to still work properly.
You can try doing a Restore on the iPod in iTunes, but it probably will not help because the screen does not come on at all. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This erases the iPod, re-installs its software, and sets it to default settings.
I don't know which model you have, but if it is less than one year from purchase, it is under warranty. -

Hi. (:
I can't get my Ipod to turn off. The display is still onm but it wont play. Its like its frozen. please help!?Sorry, that wasn't exactly helpful was it. Hopefully yours is recoverable. Eventually it will pass out from battery exhaustion and then you can plug it into your conmputer. Start itunes. I migth take 30 minutes before it appears as on icon on your computer. Make sure you have the latest ipod updater software. Once the icon appears on your itunes go ahead and restore. You WILL lose all our your songs on your ipod if they are backed up in your itunes library. After restoring load it again with your music and see if it happens again. Hopefully that will solve it.
e
PS make sure your hold button is released or itunes and your computer will not recognize it at all. -

my ipod nano wont let me sync my videos on my computer
Not all video format downloaded from iTunes is compatible with ipod nano. Make sure that the file extnesion is mp4 or any quicktime formats. If not, create a version on these format using iTunes or convert using a third party software. Cheers!

my ipod touch wont turn on ive tried restoring it but every time i do it just says its waiting for the ipod to respond. meanwhile my ipod is no longer a black screen but the apple logo with a loading bar underneath that after leaving for 8 hours hasnt moved.
Try:
- Another cable
- Another USB port
- Reboot the computer
- 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.
