7Th Generation Ipod Nano keeps rebooting

Hey everyone I just got my wife a nano for her birthday, but it keeps rebooting on songs. I cannot go for more than 5-10 minutes before the machine buzzes off and I see apple logo on my screen. Ive tried restoring, the secret menu by holding down home,power, and pressing the vol up and down on the 2nd black screen to check the nvram.  passes. But still problems on numerous syncs and restores in-between, never in any other mode but playing mp3s..
she did not save my gift reciept nor the box, can we still get a working one without doing some sort of switch-a-roo at the store.
pretty bummed out here. Its was so sweet until it started zapping off and on.

You're lucky MachRc... same situation here... 7th gen stuck in reboot infinite loop. Was xmas gift for wife 18 months ago... "Geniuses" at Apple fiddled with it for 5 minutes, said it's dead and only option is BUY a new one. Then told me I should have bought Apple Care... COME ON, if your products won't last 18 months then you really have a problem.
My solution, pulled out the 10 year old Sony Walkman mp3 player, charged it up and threw the ipod POS in the garbage... My lovely wife is now happily listening to her 10 YEAR OLD Sony product without any problems.
So long Apple!

  • My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

    My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

    If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

  • 7th Generation iPod Nano connection issue

    My Dell Inspiron N7110 does not recognize my brand new 7th generation iPod Nano even when I use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

    Gee...I'm answering my own posts.  But...this is the deal.  Apparently, my iPOD Nano froze...and one thing I did not do was reset it.  I did that, and by IPOD was suddenly recognized by my computer....and is now happily charging, etc.   So, case solved.

  • 7th generation ipod nano stops tracking my runs after a minute

    7th Generation Ipod Nano: when using the fitness icon and running, it pauses every minute or so and i have to physically hit resume to start again and the mileage is off. Anyone know how to fix? I can't get it to calibrate because it won't make it through a whole work out to do that.

    Is an earphone or Bluetooth headphone connected to the nano?
    If its an earphone you can check the earpod jack on the iPod to see if there is any lint in it.
    If there is no earphone or Bluetooth headphones connected, the iPod thinks play was hit by accident and pauses it to conserve battery.

    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:

  • Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

    Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

    I would to a Restore.  Select the iPod in iTunes.  Go to the Summary tab for the iPod.  There is a button there to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
    If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod.  All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

  • 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!!

  • Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

    I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
    1- games
    2- voice memo

    1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
    2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
    3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

    I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select.  What am I doing wrong?

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

    My 16 gig, 7th generation ipod nano just died yesterday.
    I assumed it just needed recharging.
    It is not responding. I have complete black screen even when its hooked up to charge....and it wont turn on.
    Help!!!!
    I got it as a birthday gift around the end of May, its brand new.

    Clean out the Lighting connector on the bottom of the nano, clean Lightning connector cable, make sure your computer is not set to go to sleep and connect it to the computer and let it charge for 30 minutes. After this time, while it is still connected, hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
