The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

  • IPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

    There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

  • My ipod nano 2nd generation stopped being recognised in itunes. using windows 8, all our other ipods are fine

    My ipod nano 2nd gen just stopped being recognised in itunes. I'm using windows 8.1..and not had any problems with ipod touch 5th generation or nano 7th gen.
    The ipod charges up as indicated by the battery icon but not being recognised at all in itunes or as a connected device or drive on my PC. was working fine the day before then just stopped. I can still listen to the ipod but obviously not load on new songs as not being recognised.

    Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get it serviced. Sounds like the headphone jack has failed.

  • Sound and picture on TV but after a few minutes the TV loses signal

    I have an 80gb 5.5G connected using the universal dock and apple genuine cables. I get perfect audio and video for a few minutes then the TV seems to lose signal and goes to its default channel.
    It might be the TV, its a Sharp HiDef (UK), anyone else had this issue ?

  • Nano 7th generation turns off automatically while playing music

    Start playing music and the nano shuts off at random times, usually in the first minute, even with full battery

    The headphone jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headset jack farther in, there should be no space between the plastic on the headset jack and the body of the Nano.

  • IPod nano 2nd generation works with iTunes but screen blank!

    Hello upthereds,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I have purchased a windows 7, 64 bit laptop. I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano if I download the 64 bit version of iTunes will this cause problems with compatibility between my laptop, iTunes version 10.1 and the 2nd generation iPod Nano?
    Yes it is compatible and should work. Let us know if you run in any problems though and we'll do what we can to help.

  • After a few minutes the Touch Screen doesnt work properly anymore. (sporadic Touchscreen errors)

    Hi,i use my phone like i always do and after a few minutes the Touchscreen starts making errors and it quickly gets worse till a point where i cant use it anymore.After shutting down and leaving it for a while, the described case above starts over. And thats the only thing which seems to help. I searched through this forum, but to be honest i didnt read all, there are too many post about Xperia Z1 touchscreen problems.Some speculated what the cause of this problem might be, and they were not even sure wether it is a software or hardware issue!?Software repair with PC Companion didnt help.I reviewed Touchscreen settings, didnt help.
    Most important to me the question, is this problem covert by sony warranty? Thank you

    Hi, This in reference to the complaint registered before. I have been facing touch issues on my Sony Xperia Z1 bought in Feb 2015 from Spice Hotspot. I had given it for repair at Sony service center  in July 2015, wherein it was delivered to me after 15 days stating that hardware has been replaced and the issue is no longer there.  But I am still having touch issues and they are even worse then before after the repair. I am unable to type even for 5 seconds continuously the screen goes crazy and starts typing, selecting on its own. I want my handset replaced or return my money back. This phone has become a pain rather than convenience. If you do not act on it asap I am going to consumer court and will file a complaint against you.  Thanks,(**bleep** annoyed Customer) 

  • Hi, I accidentally spilled water on my Mac Air on the very right side of the keyboard. After a few minutes, the screen turned white and a gray folder with a question mark came up and kept flashing. THEN IT DIED HELP.

    After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....

    Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse.  You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary.  It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

  • I have an iPod nano 2nd generation and I want to download the songs I have on it to my new computer, as my old one crashed with all the songs on it.  I also got a new iPod and would like to transfer the old songs onto it. How do I do this?

    Ok so sorry for clogging the community!! I figured it out - you have to copy your videos into itunes manually. I did that, synched and all good!

  • Can you get games on the iPod Nano 2nd generation?

    This is probably a simple question, but can you get games on an iPod Nano 2nd Generation?

    No, unless you previously bought iPod click wheel games and still have copies of them. Apple no longer sells those.
