2nd generation nano stuck on Apple logo

My 2nd generation nano is stuck on the Apple logo, although the logo does flash on and off every few seconds. It is possible to put the nano into disc mode and access its content through iTunes. I've tried "restore" and the process is completed to the point of saying the iPod is being restarted, and to wait for it to appear in the iTunes window. Unfortunately, it never shows up in iTunes and the iPod itself ends up back in the Apple-logo-flashing mode.
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the 5 R's as well as the suggested procedure in the link. Unfortunately, the problem persists.
One issue I've wondered about is whether or not a dead battery could play a part in this problem. It seemed that battery charge retention was becoming a issue for a while before this problem started. It's hard to know now if the battery is charged or not, as the iPod will only function in disc mode when it's attached to the computer through a USB link. When I attempt to charge the iPod through an adaptor and a wall outlet, the battery charge icon does not appear on the screen; then, as at all other times, the only thing that is visible on the iPod screen is the Apple logo. I don't see how the battery could be the only problem, however, since the iPod is recognized by the computer (iTunes) only when it's in disc mode.

  • My iPod Nano Stuck in Apple Logo

    My iPod Nano 3rd gen. stuck in apple logo. I did the reset thing and yes --it reset but will stay in Apple logo. I also tried the disk mode thing --and it did not work. What should I do???

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
      - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Ipod Nano stuck on apple logo screen

    So my little brothers Ipod Nano 4th generation is stuck on the Apple logo screen. I've reset it a couple of times, but it won't leave the apple logo screen. I wasn't able to get it into disk mode, and my laptop wasn't regonizing it, but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it. Is there anything else I can do, or is it time to take a trip to an Apple Store? Any help would be, well, helpful

    but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it
    Since the desktop was able to recognize it, did you restore it in iTunes?

  • Ipod Nano Stuck on Apple Logo

    My Ipod Nano seems to be stuck on the apple logo. I tried a hard reset and it did nothing and itunes isn't recognizing it. When a similar thing happend to my Ipod Touch i was able to boot into recovery mode and restore a backup. Does Ipod Nano have the same mode?

    Hello Elektra2009,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I am no guru when it comes to iPod touches, but I do know that nano has no feature like that. However, if you have already tried a hard reset, I would try manually putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]. If you can do that, and get iTunes to recognize it, I think it would be an excellent idea to restore as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • 3rd Generation Nano only gets Apple logo on main screen need a full reset?

    Was just given a 3rd generation nano for one of my kids.  I cannot seem to unlock it (apple logo only on screen).  Need to reset.  When I hold down menu and center button, it just goes back to apple logo.  Am I out of luck?

    Try manually forcing the iPod into disk mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restoring it in iTunes.

  • IPod nano stuck on Apple logo; won't boot.

    I have an iPod nano that seems to charge, but won't boot. There's no sad iPod logo or anything, just the Apple logo. I can boot it into diagnostics mode, and it seems to be fine. However, it won't go into disc mode.
    Any advice?

    This tread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=723183) is about the same problem you're having. At some point it's said:
    "Hold down Select / Menu (to reboot the iPod)
    As soon as the Apple logo appears, hold down Rewind / Select until...
    ...you see a backwards Apple Logo.
    At this point, you will have entered Diagnostic Mode. It'll test the RAM, and then tell you to HIT PLAY TO CONTINUE. Hit 'Play'.
    You'll be in a menu that you advance by hitting FF (Fast Forward). Advance to the 'DISKMODE' entry.
    Hit 'Select.' This will put you into Firewire Disk mode. The screen should change to the familiar 'Do Not Disconnect' mode. At this point, connect it to the computer.
    Run the restore utility; it should now recognize the iPod and offer to Restore the factory software. Do so. You'll lose whatever's on it, but you'll avoid having to send it back in to Apple and paying repair fee."

  • 2nd Generation iPod with frozen Apple logo

    Tried to reset this iPod using the menu/play button technique. Just returns to logo. When I plug into USB, iTunes doesn't recognize and neither does my computer. Stuck and don't know what to do.

    That sounds like the 3rd gen iPod. However, it is designed to work with FireWire as well. It may sync over USB if the battery is topped off, but it does not charge over USB. The only way to use USB is to use this special two-ended cable that has both a FireWire and USB connector.

    The USB end goes to the USB port on the computer. The FireWire end goes to the square white wall power adapter to supply power to the iPod while it syncs.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation got stuck on apple logo

    Please help

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

  • 4th gen nano stuck on apple logo. tried to reboot several time didn't work. went to apple store they said it has hard drive problem. and i don't have warranty anymore on this iPod. so def don't want to pay to fix it. need some help.

    also mention to that is when i connect ipod to my mac it's not getting recognized now. so i don't know can i get into reboot mode and try putting up new firmware rather thant rebooting on it. need help. i

    do a full reset and recover from backup, and be patient this time, allow the prcoess to complete.  Upgrades can take hours to finish, many people disconnect or try to restore the iphone before its finished updating, flashing itself and rebooting.

  • IPod nano (7th generation) doesn't charge while my 2nd generation nano does

    I have a Pioneer car stereo in my car that has an iPod adapter. This unit is more than a few years old. It syncs and charges my 2nd generation nano, but it does not charge my new 7th generation nano (I have an Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter). It also doesn't charge my 3rd generation iPod touch. Does anybody have an idea short of getting one of those FM adapters?

    Your car is set up to charge via the Firewire pin which Apple ceased supporting a few years ago. You can try this adapter: http://www.abt.com/product/61936/Scosche-IFWA.html?utm_source=scfroogle&utm_medi um=sc&utm_campaign=IFWA but there is no guarantee it will work.

  • Ipod Nano & 2nd Generation Nano Problems

    I bought an Ipod Nano last December and my brother recently purchased the 2nd generation nano.
    With my nano, an ITunes CD came with it. I installed it and things worked great. However, my brother did not receive an Itunes CD, the instructions directed him to apple.com to download the latest version of Itunes.
    We downloaded the latest version and every song that I had on my ipod (about 427 songs) showed up. About 5 of those songs showed up on his. (We connected his ipod through the USB cable that I got with mine).
    Out of the 427 songs I have on my ipod, he wants about 25 and then the ability to add more songs that he wants onto his.
    The question is how can we do this? When his ipod is connected all the songs are showing up on the itunes screen (and the 4 or 5 are showing up on his ipod screen). NOrmally in the version of Itunes that I used, once I made any adjustments to my itunes I could go to file and then "Update Ipod" and the changes would occur in a matter or seconds. In this case he has options like "Sync..." or "Transfer purchased..."
    I don't want to lose all of the songs that I have due to this, so could anyone help us out?
    Thanks in advance!

    Do these songs play ok in iTunes?
    Have you restored the iPod and reloaded the songs?
    You should also try deleting them from iTunes altogether and re-importing them, then transfer to the iPod again.

  • 1st vs 2nd generation Nano

    For people who've held both 1st and 2nd generations Nano's, how does the style compare? The round edges vs the more square edges? Pictures just don't do them justice, so would like to hear your opinions from 1st hand experience.
    Thanks

    Personally, I LOVE the changes made in the 2nd Gen Nano. Not crazy about the candy colors - I wish that they had gone with colors that were a little more sophisticated and subtle - And I wish that the 8GB had come in at least Silver as well as black.
    Still, I got the black 8GB Nano to replace my 1st Gen 4GB Nano - And I couldn't be much happier. The feel of that midnight aluminum is much more pleasing than the chrome and plastic of the 1st Gen...the rounded edges make it feel much better in the hand.
    Even though it is thinner and lighter than the 1st Gen, it still feels more solid and less fragile. With my first Nano, I felt like I HAD to use a case in order to protect it. I ended up using a CoreCase in a silver aluminum (http://www.corecases.com/home.php). It was the least bulky hard case I could find that fit in with the Apple style. But it still added bulk to the Nano.
    With my new Nano, I do not feel the need to cover it up as much, thus keeping the "WOW" factor of something so small being able to deliver that much power. Plus, the aluminum is less prone to scratches and fingerprints - a very nice feature!
    I also prefer the click wheel with the middle Select button that is slightly concave instead of rounded - It just feels better and more natural.
    I know others have viewed this change as a step backwards - back to the days of the iPod Mini. But I've always felt that the Mini was one of the best iPod designs out there - and this new Nano is even better! NOW, if only they could come up with BETTER colors, these Nanos would be nigh on perfect!
