My iPod Nano 4thgen only opens when connected to a pc and/or power adapter
My iPod Nano 4thGen. was brand new and I followed each and every step in the manual. I was able to connect to a computer/iTunes but after disconnecting it from the cable, the power just turns off, I pressed any key on it but failed to put the power on. I then attached it to a power adapter/charger having suspected empty battery but after I disconnected it a few hours later, the power immediately shuts down. What could've been the problem?
I have had the same problem with my daughter's IPOD nano. Spoke with several technicians to try to fix the problem to be told it was a battery problem and to send it in it was covered under warranty. Was told that it was a problem with many of the nanos. I sent it in to have it returned with 1 week stating that it had "liquid spill or submersion damage indicated by the pink/red color of liquid submersion indicator located inside headphone jack." It has not had liquid or submersion damage and I can't prove otherwise. It works only if it is attached to computer. Will not turn on unless attached to computer. Maybe I am wrong but it it has damaged by water would it still work plugged into computer. Now I am out $200.00. This frustrates my because my ipod shuffle quit working 2 months after I got it. Thats why I bought the nano thinking it was better quality.

Ipod nano 6th gen freezes when connected to usb.
Hello.I have ipod nano 6th generation.When i connect it to usb it shows Connected screen and freezes until I do reset and nothing shows in windows or itunes.I dont know what to do,searching about 2 hours for fix.:(
Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right? -
6th gen iPod Nano screen turns white when connected
I just got my replacement Nano for the 1st gen Nano recall. I plug it in to sync and the screen is white. Sync finished and I unplug it. I remove the dock connector cable and the homescreen appears, but is almost in a mirror like state. The screen is in the correct orientation, but the letters are backwards and hitting the lets say radio app opens the music app scrolling down, scrolls up, etc. Sleep-wake fixes the issue. Plug it in again and does it again. Restore it. Doesn't fix it. Hard reset, doesn't fix it.
Playing with it a bit, it seems to be an issue with the dock connector. I wiggle the cable and the screen turns white or goes to that mirror like state until I sleep/wake it. Unplug it, screen goes white/ to mirror like state until completely unplugged. In any case, if I touch the cable and wiggle it, the screen goes between white and mirror state.
Will an Apple Store replace it or do I need to send it in since it was a replacement program?
Thoughts?You have 90 days warranty on your replacement Nano, see if you can visit an Apple Store or get it serviced.

My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station. Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station. My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge. Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes. I have done both a soft and hard reset.
If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Nano 4th Gen wiped when connecting to iTunes 10.0
Hey all
Don't know if anyone else is having this issue... my iTunes went crazy just now (recently updated to version 10) when I routinely attached my iPod. Got this message saying "duplicate file" something or other, and the thing wouldn't sync. I tried to reboot it and ALL of my music had been wiped. Fun. And after restarting iTunes it still wouldn't sync (the same error message just kept coming up). Not fun.
Eventually had to restore the iPod to factory settings just to get the thing to switch on.
Is anyone else having this issue??I am having a problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, I get a message that my iPod 'is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Well....I cannot locate this other iTunes Library and know if I sync with the one that opens I will lose all my current songs.

How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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. -
i'm having a ipod nano which vl b in rectangular shape of 2" and when i connect my iphone's earpods d control keys are not workin. may i know d reason y its nt supporting?
I can't tell which iPod nano model you are describing. The EarPods listing at the Apple Store
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
Says (under Compatibility) that iPod nano 4th gen and later are supported ["Requires software version 1.0.3 for iPod nano (4th generation)"]. If your nano is 3rd gen or earlier, it will still work for audio, but some control buttons may not work. -
IPod only charges when connect to the Mac
My iPod will only charge when connected to the Mac. It will not charge on any other cable or docking station. And, yes, I have tested the various cables and docking stations with other devices and the issue is clearly only with this one device. I am note sure what generation the device is, but it is old enough that it cannot run iOS 7. It is on iOS 6.1.5.
ThanksThen it seems that the other sources do not work satisfactorily. Do the other charging sources charge other devices?

i have an ipod nano 5th generation. the problem with it's that it doesn't show in itunes when connected to the laptop and it switches on on its own and songs start playing the battery gets consumed too fast after full charge. what is the actual problem?
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

IPod Nano, 1st gen., won't connect with XP
I have a 1 GB black 1st generation iPod Nano. The screen recently broke, so I had to send it in for servicing and they sent me a new one. My old iPod Nano worked perfectly with iTunes and Windows XP. Now, when I try to connect my new one, I guess that since it has a different Serial Number, iTunes nor Windows will recognize it. I called the Apple company, hoping they could help me, but they couldn't and said it was a Microsoft problem. My iPod will charge and everything, it's just that when I try to use the iPod CD, my computer won't recognize the CD either. If you have any suggestions, please post them. I can't wait till I can use my iPod again!
The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

ITunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other.
iTunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other. Is the port faulty? Windows 7 PC
Could just be a loose connection or that the cable itself is going bad. There are a number of factors that could play into this scenario.
