4th generation nano fm radio problems

4th generation Nano with fm radio; once the radio is selected from the menu the device freezes;  go through the restart process, select radio again and agin it will freeze.  Any solutions?
thanks
cheers

Try restoring it in iTunes, try a different set of headphones. If neither works it is probably a hardware problem.

  • 4th generation nano stuck in restore loop   blank screen

    The screen of my 4th generation nano suddenly went blank and when I connected it to my macbook pro, it said "iTunes needs to prepare your iPod for recovery. Please leave your iPod connected." I performed the entire restore process but the loop continued. I've looked up various threads and done everything they say but nothing has been successful.
    What I haven't read about is the recovery loop occuring along with the screen staying blank. I know my screen is working because the backlight stays on when I connect or disconnect it from my laptop. Only when I try to reset my nano does the backlight go off. However, the ipod doesn't reset and nor does it restore.
    Any suggestions as to what the problem may be and what I can do?

    I had this exact issue with my iPod Nano 6th Gen. Spent close to 4 weeks on forums and found no solution. Ended up calling Apple Support and they directed me to a Service Company here in Singapore. But I was immediate faced with the dreaded UV torch, the torch they check water damage with. After 2 iPod Shuffles and now 3 iPod Nanos, I should know better. iPods are just fit for exercise,. no matter how careful you are, or what protective case you use. Nothing is going to protect it.
    The current iPod Nano 6th Gen will have restart issues and require you to restore when connected to a computer, usually resulting in Unknown Error 1430 (VERY common error).
    Result was I am continually told the iPod is water damaged and not covered. Seems the iPod range has a hyper sensitve water sensor, which even moisture on your headphone plug will set off. If you google iPod Water Senor you'll find hundreds of cases globally with the same issue.
    This ***** cause the iPod Nano, particularly those that are Nike+ compatiable are heavily marketed as music players for exercise. But the reality is, they just can't handle sweat.
    I also experienced this annoying reality with the previous iPod Shuffle, where the earphone controls continually broke down from moisture.
    After 6 years of trying iPods for exercise, I am still waiting for one that is actually built for exercise.

  • My 4th Generation Nano skips songs and won't play some of them

    So, over the past couple of days while I put my 4th Generation Nano on Shuffle mode, it will skip over some songs. Not a delayed reaction, but... say I skip one song. Then it'lll skip over a few, and when I hit the back arrow, it won't play it.
    Also, as an example, I was listening to Alesana, then it suddenly switched to Disturbed, then skipped over it, and started to play Bullet For My Valentine. When I went to go click back to play Disturbed, it wouldn't play and skipped back to BFMV.
    Help?
    And one more thing, my iPod has been also doing this weird thing where it will say it's playing one song, then be playing another. Such as... it will say it is playing Apology by Alesana, and really be playing Guarded by Disturbed.
    Is there any possible way to fix this? I've tried restoring it on iTunes, and reseting my iPod multiple times. It's only 3 years old, I don't want to have to bury it this soon! D:

    If that didn't work you should try downloading the Latest iPod Updater and then Restoring the iPod to factory settings.

  • My 4th generation nano is no longer associated with my account

    I completed the trouble shooting steps suggested by Apple but my nano is still not an associated device under my iTunes account.  I have no idea how to fix this! Pls help!

    ??? A 4th generation nano doesn't get "associated" with your account. You load media onto it from an iTunes library. "Association" is for computers or IOS devices. "Authorization" is just for computers.

  • Need help with accessories for new 4th Generation Nano-speakers, etc

    I just purchased the new 16GB 4th generation nano and I want accessories to play with it but am concerned with compatibility and charing issues. I am new to this so my questions may not make sense!
    1. I am looking for speakers and the Logitech Anywhere Speakers have good reviews. Will I be able to play my Nano with these and charge it? If not, what ones will that are reasonably priced?
    2. What accessory can I use to play my nano in my car (older model) that will also charge it? Or are there no accessories for this as of yet.
    3. If I want to plug it into a stereo, I only need the mini/RCA cable converter, correct?
    4. To plug into the wall, I need the USB adapter-but do I need a dock as well?
    Thank you and sorry for such simple questions! This is my first iPod! :-D

    2. If you have a cassette adaptor with the 3.5mm audio plug and want to also charge your iPod. You can plug it into a Griffin AutoPilot.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/autopilot
    For the car with no tape or aux you need an FM transmitter, if your in a city with a lot of stations you will get interferance (I was glad to dump mine when I got a new car). Most are 12 volt! The Griffin iTrip has 5 volt charge and works with the iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripautopilot
    Griffin seems to be one of the few companies that switched to 5 volt charging some time ago.
    3. A line out cable is something like this...
    http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35507-Connector-Cable/dp/B000JG3WBY/ref=sr111?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1221776257&sr=1-11
    Better then using the headphone jack to hook up to a stereo.
    4. For the dock a 3.5mm to RCA cable should be all you need to get line out to your stereo.

  • I can't download itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

    I can't download my itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

    An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
    However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

  • 4th generation nano won't charge

    I have a 4th generation Nano and it won't charge. Tried to charge it on the computer as well as a adapted stereo. Itunes does not recognise it either.
    Worked fine up until today. How can I get it to work? My OS is windows. Nano has now lost all charge...Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    See here: iPod's battery doesn't charge
    Leave it to charge for a few hours.  Then come back and reset it if necessary.
    If nothing else, it's likely a sign of a dead battery that needs to be replaced.

  • 4th generation nano, Panther OS - HELP

    Hi,
    My daughter just bought a 4th generation nano. Unfortunately, we have a 4 year old imac running os 10.3.9 - which doesn't support itunes 8.0.
    Questions: 1. Is there any way to hook up the nano without updating the operating system? 2. Is it even possible to run os 10.5 on a machine this old?
    Any info is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Can you upgrade to 10.4 (tiger)?
    It will be very cheap because it's not new anymore.
    I don't know about your system, but it's probably possible without a hardware upgrade, and even if you have to upgrade hardware, often it's just more RAM that you need, which is easily and cheaply done.

  • 4th generation nano -- which docking speakers DO charge??

    Hey, there --
    I've read LOTS about how all the old technology does not match with the charging requirements of my daughter's 16 GB 4th generation nano (and experienced this, as well). Does anyone have a set of docking speakers that 1) has an AC adapter, and 2) DOES charge your 4th gen nano?
    Also, I've seen several links to this Scosche adapter (http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/318/productID/1695); has anyone actually used one? Does it work?

    To list just a few.
    And the adapter works, but to be sure email them with the model number of the system you will be using it with and they will let you know if it is compatible.

  • My 4th generation nano syncing problems gave me an error msg over 100  syncing problems where songs were "not authorized" on my computer. What does that mean and how do I get them onto my Nano????

    Help! My 4th Generation Ipod Nano won't sync all my songs. I backed-up my songs first, then formated and then restored back to my Ipod. Now it syncs and my ipod shows up in the sidebar, but I get an error message that over 100+ songs were not copied over due to "not being authorized to play on my computer."  I followed the directions to try to get those songs restored onto my Nano, but it's not working! Now what?
    Thank you,

    Are you sure you authorized the computer with the same iTunes account used to make those iTunes purchases?  Perhaps this article can help.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    If nothing else try these steps.
    Deauthorize the computer and log out of the iTunes store.  Then close out of iTunes and reboot your computer.  Then open up iTunes, log into the iTunes store and reauthorize the computer.

  • 4th generation nano Problem

    As stated, I have a 4th gen nano. Like most people, I have a problem with the click wheel. However, after searching the community here and looking through Google, I believe my problem is unique. You see, whereas most people have a problem with either the click wheel not working entirely or the click wheel doesn't scroll but the buttons work, I have a different issue. The click wheel does work for scrolling, but the other buttons (On the wheel itself) don't work. Oddly enough, the center button works. I've searched all over and haven't found any thing for my particular problem so any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.
    P.S.: I've already tried restoring the iPod to no success.

    Are you having battery related issues? Does your battery charge properly and are you getting good usage out of it? The reason I ask is because I suspect that you may have a failing battery in your iPod nano.
