7th gen nano flashed apple logo

My 7th gen ipod nano is flashing the apple logo when connected to the computer and nothing when disconnected. I finally got to a point that the PC saw it and went through the restore then when itunes tried to reboot to complete restore it went back to flashing the apple logo.

Howdy tiffanyboho,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your iPod nano will not boot past the Apple logo, and it will not allow you to restore through iTunes.  To troubleshoot this issue, please follow the steps in the article below.

  • 7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play.  What is wrong with it?

    I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background.  I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it.  At one point it was in a Restore Loop.  I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers.  Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

    Hi jkjuarez2012,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:

    If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stuck on apple logo screen

    New iPod nano 7th gen.  At first attempt to upload songs, was prompted to update software.  So, software was updated and as I was installing software update to the iPod, I got a message stating that the iPod was in the process of a restore (I think this is what it said.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention as i was not expecting any problems).  I continued with the restore because nothing had been uploaded to the iPod yet so nothing would be lost.  At this point, the device has been stuck on the apple logo screen for a couple of hours now.  The only response I can get from it is when I do a reset.  The screen will black as it should and then go right back to the logo and stay.  Please help.....Son not happy as this was one of his Christmas presents this morning.  Really not looking forward to a trip to the apple store on the day after Christmas.

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

  • 7th gen nano is frozen i did reset process and just stays at apple logo.

    Hello zdeans,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1399
    Put iPod into Disk Mode.
    iPod should appear in the iTunes Source pane and on the desktop or in a Finder window, or in the My Computer window.
    If a message appears that says the volume could not be mounted and asks if you want to initialize the disk, choose to initialize iPod's disk. Use Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) if you have a Mac, or FAT32 if you have a Windows PC.
    Warning: This process cannot be undone. All of your songs, videos, and other files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    Follow the steps to update or restore iPod. If you manually put iPod into Disk Mode it may need to be resetbefore you can use it.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • 7th gen Nano won't start

    Brand new 7th gen Nano received as Christmas gift last week will not turn on, even after charging for 48 hours.  No exposure to water, moisture; was not dropped or crushed.  Help.  Thank you.

    Do the reset. Press and hold on/off and home buttons until apple logo appears. Cheers!

  • 7th gen nano not recognized by windows 8.1 as a drive OR itunes

    When i plug in (USB) my 7th gen nano, my PC (Windows 8.1) doesn't recognize it as a drive (it pops up as a drive for about 2 seconds then goes away) and itunes says its detected but cant be identified properly.  My 4th gen nano connects just fine.

    Hello Quantum222,

  • Where can I purchase a replacement home button for a 7th gen nano?

    My home button fell out when I dropped the 7th gen Nano and shattered the glass while mountain biking.  I have replacement glass and digitizer in hand but no home button.  I have not been able to get anywhere with my local Apple store in regards to purchasing a new button.
    Any help?

    Tried to repair a toaster lately?
    On a device at this price range it makes no sense to have parts available and have a technician spend an hour replacing the button. They provide you with a service replacement instead, send back your old one and have it totally refurbished. Makes far more economic sense.

  • I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
    On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

  • New 7th gen nano with Windows 8

    I purchased a new 7th gen nano and iTunes will not recognize it.  I have followed all the steps in support but it still won't work.  Any ideas of what else to try?

    Hi there  - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me) - Windows 8.1 user, 7th generation nano. You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
    1) iTunes
    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support
    Then you restart your computer.
    Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
    Then you restart your computer again.
    Mine is working perfectly again now.
    I hope it works for you,
    Carmen.

  • OSX requirements for new 7th gen Nano?

    I bought a new iPod Nano using the the system requirements listed on Apples home page as a guide. It states 'OSX10.6.8 or later' and 'iTunes 10.7 or later'.
    I have an older iMac and can not upgrade my OS past 10.6.8. I also have iTunes 11.4 and don't think I can go any higher with iTunes &  OSX 10.6.8
    The potential problem is in the Apple Nano manual. In system requirements is states 'OSX10.7.5 or later' and "iTunes 12.1.1 or later'
    I spoke with Apple tech today and they said the manual was new (Sept. 2014) and they list higher OSX and iTunes system requirements but only because it was a newer manual??? WHAT!
    If the Nano STILL only requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher then why does it now list a newer OX10.7.5? The person in Apple support could not answer that question. She thought it should work, but it will be rather difficult to return to Best Buy after removing the OEM packaging and trying to transfer music from iTunes on my iMac.
    I know this iMac is getting old and will replace it at some point with a new OS, but don't want to buy a new computer just to load music onto a $150 music player!

    Thanks, deggie.........
    I did use the Apple online store for my info and based my buying decision on this info, correct or not. I then got into the manual to get familiar with the Nano features and saw these conflicting minimum requirements for both OSX as well as iTunes versions.
    I bought it from Best Buy, not the Apple store, and I have a feeling they might not be as easy to deal with for a return of a open / used iPod Nano that didn't work for me.
    Hopefully the Apple Stores info is accurate and I will have no OSX or iTunes issues.
    If anyone IS using OSX 10.6.8 & iTunes 11.4 with their 7th gen Nano I'd love to hear that!

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.

  • Iphone 4 unresponsive and flashes apple logo but itunes wont recognise it . when plugged into the mains it turns onto recovery mode and asks to be plugged into itunes, when i unplug it from the mains it turns straight off again

    please help! my iphone randomly went unresponsive, when plugged into itunes it flashes apple logo and itunes doesnt recognise it and when plugged into the mains its in recovery mode, asks to be connected to itunes, but immediately turns off when unplugged from mains

    You could try to do a hard reset, sometimes resetting the phone helps. Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top and the home button until you see the apple logo, this make take a minute or two but this might help.
