TS1382 4th gen iPod nano wheel and buttons still non-responsive after all t-shooting suggestions performed.

Hello all,
My beautiful 1 year old daughter pull my nano off a Bose speaker dock and ever since the wheel and buttons have been non-responsive.  I've tried a rest and all troubleshooting steps with no luck.  Does anyone out there have any other suggestions?  Thanks.
Mike

Mine is no longer responding to anything but when it's connected to the computer, it will restore and sync, but I cannot turn it off, play music or anything else and I would really like to know a solution for this as well!

  • My iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano)

    my iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano) and im trying to connect it to my new laptop to add music to it.

    I had the same thing happen where the ipod would cycle between connected and ejecting and disconnecting, with the USB device icon appearing then disappearing is the application tray. I tried reinstalling iTunes, resetting the ipod, resetting the computer and tried it on another USB port then another computer and had the same thing happen. I was ready to take the ipod back to the store and thought I'd try it on my work laptop and it worked OK. The two previous computers were the same make and have 8 USB ports each, two on the front and 6 at the rear. I only tried the two front ports. After it worked on the work laptop I tried one of the rear USB ports on the original PC, which is a bit of a pain, but it worked. I ejected it and plugged it into one of the front USB ports again and I got the same cycling effect. Plugging back into the rear port and it was fine. I can only assume that some USB ports may be borderline with power requirements which the iPod is touchy on. I suggest if you experience this problem try the iPod on ALL your USB ports even if you have to move an existing USB device to another port.
    I did read somewhere in the support area that an external USB hub that has its own power supply could help if the unit has issues recharging through a direct USB port so since this issue appears to be port related an external USB hub may be another solution. I personally haven't tried this but if all the direct ports on the PC exhibit this issue this may be a valid alternative outside of returning the unit. Hopefully someone may find this helpful.

  • My 4th gen Ipod nano keeps getting stuck on the apple logo.

    My 4th gen Ipod Nano keeps getting stuck on the Apple logo screen, this happens everytime I plug it in to charge. I plug it in, an apple logo comes up, and it stays like that the entire time its plugged in. To get it to unfreeze, i have to press random buttons and unplug and re plug in earbuds. After 20-25min of doing this it unfreezes and I come to find it has gotten little to no charge after being plugged in for hours at a time. Any one else have this problem, and if so what do you do?

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • 4th gen ipod nano - can't find games for it on itunes

    I have just purchased a 4th gen ipod nano for my son and he wanted some games. Went onto itunes and purchased Crash Bandicoot Nitrokart game for £3.49. Couldn't get it to transfer to nano - but then noticed it's sitting in Applications (iPhone and iPod touch applications). Then went back into game and see that it says requirements are for iphone and itouch. Why did apple allow me to purchase this when I rgistered the nano when I setup itunes? Have searched for other games but all say the same requirement. Where can I find games that will download for nano? I have itunes 8.01 and ipod software is up-to-date

    click on "iTunes Store", then on the left side of the screen, there should be a box near the top with:
    Music
    Movies
    TV Shows
    Music Videos
    Audiobooks
    Podcasts
    iTunes U
    iPod Games
    Apps Store
    listed. You want "iPod Games".

  • I have a 4th gen Ipod Nano. It powers up when plugged in to PC but does nothing once i unplug it. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th Gen Ipod Nano. It connects to itunes and everything fine when pluggein in to usb, but as soon as i unplug it, it just goes black and does nothing at all.  Tried reset, restore, nothing seems to work. I am thinking maybe the battery is gone but not sure how to tell. Any ideas or help?  Thank you....

    Ok think I have it. Seems that it doesn't really like my pc or Win7 or something, but rebooted, resync and all seems well. Charging as it should. Maybe just OS or something.

  • 4th gen iPod nano won't recover from restoration, what do I do?

    So my dad gave me his old 4th gen iPod nano and I didn't want to listen to the garbage he had on it so I plugged it into my computer and restored it, and when it was done restoring, it said it needed to recover. I've tried to do the same restoration process a few times now, and it will not recover. My iTunes recognizes that an iPod is plugged in, but it says that after my multiple restorations, I have 0 KB of available storage, when I should have 8 GB. It says the software is 1.0.4 and my laptop is running off of Windows 7. I've used different cords to make sure it isn't the cord, and it's not. My iTunes is updated and so I know that's not the problem. Help?

    The past week I have had to restore it each til this Friday when it stop restoring it. A window pop out say it could it couldn't because of 'Error 2009'. I have done the usb, removed all my security, and checked my usb ports. Nothing is working so far. I even changed computers but it gave me the same error.

  • TS1456 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

    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.

  • I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
    The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
    I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

    You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Can bomberman game work with 4th Gen ipod Nano?

    In the games section it says they all work for the 3rd and 4th gen ipods and then inside the games it says different in some cases, and in the bomberman game one it says only the 3rd gen nano, will this not work with the 4th gen nano? Lemme know thanks! AIM me at azrael4791 about this! THanks!

    You're looking at this one, right?
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=270226845&s=143441
    Interesting, the main page does say 3rd & 4th gen nanos, but the Bomberman page doesn't. However some of the other games I checked randomly do say 4th gen nano.
    If I were you, I'd contact Hudson Software - the makers of that iPod click-wheel game.

  • 4th-gen iPod nano troubles....

    I'll plug my 4th generation iPod nano into my computer (PC, I know...) and it will tell me that my the settings on my iPod simply NEED to be restored. I'll then disconnect after I have put all my music and whatnot back on and there won't be anything on my iPod.
    This happens every single time I plug it into my computer and I just don't know what to do besides buy a new one, but I'm broke, so that wouldn't be possible.

    Apple created the stupid AAC file format to annoy Windows users.
    Change your settings in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing ~ to "Import Using 'MP3 Encoder'" - not AAC. If you wanna send music to a friend over AIM/MSN/Yahoo or whatever and they dont have iTunes, it's annoying, MP3 is more globally accepted.
    So your iPod works with your computer, but not with the iTunes.
    Things to try:
    1) Re-install iTunes
    2) Reset iPod
    Good luck and reply back soon!

  • 4th Gen Ipod Nano - Shutsdown upon pressing ANY button

    Ok, heres the deal.. this is driving me crazy..
    Im not new to ipods, iphones, etc... I am a IT professional, but this has me totally stumped!!
    I have my G/fs 8gb ipod nano, she told me it keeps shutting off..
    so i grabbed it, plugged it in to power, and it powers on, and has full battery, as soon as i press ANY BUTTON it shuts down.. i then have to unplug and plug it back in for it to come on, and then same thing, press any button it shuts down.
    So i plugged it into itunes and did a restore, its now at the select language screen weather its plugged in to the computer or NOT as soon as i press the select button for language.. if plugged into the computer, it reboots, if unplugged it shuts down, and i have to plug it in, and it will come back on, and same symptoms..
    i totally have no idea what could be causing this..
    now im just curious as to whats causing this..
    any help would be awsome..

    You will need to replace the button.

  • 4th gen iPod turned off and won't turn back on.

    So, earlier today I had my iPod touch (4th gen) plugged into my electronic drum kit through a double sided auxillary cable. Nothing out of the usual. I turned it to a certain song I felt like jamming to at the time and it froze. It was a weird type of freeze. The screen itself was frozen, as was the sound, but it had displayed weird grey/purple static waves, like an old T.V. with the antennas slightly off. I tried turning the iPod off normally, when that didnt work I held the power and home button to reset it thinking it was some glitch that would go away. Only, it didn't reset and just stayed off. I've tried plugging it into my PC, no response. I've even tried plugging it into my xbox (which is one way I usually charge it) and it didn't respond either. As of now, it's a brick. I have no idea why. Nothing was out of the ordinary other then a random screen freeze/glitch.
    TL;DR I have an iPod that's turned off, it will not reset, go into DFU mode, and does not charge/is not recognized when plugged into anything. Anyone got any idea what I should do?

    It would appear that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 4th Gen Ipod Nano compatibility issues`

    I purchased a 4th Gen 16gb ipod nano. When I connected it to my car's Sony car stereo I got the "can't charge" error message that has been discussed previously on these pages. It will also not work on my wife's Chrysler Town & Country. Several solutions to the charging problem have been given, including getting "Passport" from Scosche (sp). However, when I called their help desk they stated their product will solve the charging problems, but if my nano was not recognized by my stereo and then work, that their product would not solve this problem. Neither the Sony or the Chrysler stereo would recognize the nano after giving me the charging error. Is their any software that can be downloaded into the nano that would make it work with these car stereo systems?
    Thanks for any advice or help.

    If everybody with this problem were to return the 4th generation nano, the problem would be solved by Apple in short order. Instead reponses along the line of "you shouldn't expect old equipment to work with a new generation Apple product" are offered thereby enabling Apple in ignoring its customers.
