Can't open ipod nano

i can't open my nano and connect it to my computer,
i don't know what's the matter.......
plz help me

ACTUALLY,i can't see anything on nano,
the screen is just black in color!!
no response and nothing happen when i connect it to
my pc
maybe ,the trouble is due to the battery?
well it shouldn't be the battery because I had the same problem as you, and my battery was actually fully charged. I took it back to best buy the retail store I bought it from and their "Geek Squad" couldn't even get it to work so I'm getting a new ipod within a few days. Hopefully I won't have the same problem.

Cannot open ipod nano 6 file in my computer

When trying open ipod nano 6 file in windows my computer windows cannot file metadata_never_index. How is the file opened?

I had this same problem after my nano crashed today. I hooked my nano up to my laptop and restored it, but after that iTunes still wouldn't recognize the nano. My computer opened the nano showing the file "METADATA_NEVER_INDEX File". I tried to open it and it asked me to choose a program to open it with, so I selected iTunes (becasue I thought maybe it had lost iTunes and that's why it wouldn't work). Now that I see your comment, I think I may have really messed things up here....
Since doing all that I have reinstalled iTunes on my laptop and my nano has synced and is playing music ok, but if I open it on my computer it still shows that metadata_never_index file as an iTunes program. Do I have to reset something in my nano to unattach that file from the iTunes program or should it be ok? I'm also wondering if I should just restore my nano again - would that set it back to the unidentified file setting? Like I said, the nano seems to be playing ok, so maybe it's nothing to worry about. My system is Windows XP.
Hope you can help!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

From where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?

Hi everybody!
I searched this on the internet, with google, but i found nothing. So, knows anyone from where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?
I want to downgrade my Ipod nano only because of white screen.
Thanks!

Hello StanGinger,
itunes does not support downgrading any ipod software, nor does Apple. White screen normally means your ipod has a hardware issue.
Try this:
Apple - Support - iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If that does not work, use this:
Online Service Assistant
Hope this helps.
~Julian
P.S. I dont know of any place you can download the 1.0.2 software, nor once you get it, how to get it on the iPod.

Is true that I can change my ipod nano 1 generacion for the new ipod nano in any store?

i want to know if is true if I can change my ipod nano 1 generacion for the new ipod nano in any store?

No, you have to send the iPod into Apple in exchange for a 6G Nano. See this page for more information.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

Itunes stops working and closes when try to open ipod nano

I bought a used ipod nano. They did not restore to factory settings. I plug in the nano, itunes opens up, and recognizes ipod nano. Problem accures when I try to open nano it will show a screen that itunes has stopped working and needs to shutdown. I figure I need to restore the nano to factory settings but I am unabl to if I can't get into it.

Hey there Joseph1602,
It sounds like your iTunes application is quitting unexpectedly when you connect the phone and try to sync. I would recommend either of these 2 articles depending on the version of Windows you are using.
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Or
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Can not open ipod in itunes and a little lock is showed on the bottom

how do i unlock my ipod in itunes because i can't open it and can't view the files on the ipod and only on itunes...how do i unlock my ipod???? please help

The lock icon indicates that iTunes is set to synchronize to your iPod automatically, which means that you do not manage the tracks directly on your iPod, you make changes in iTunes itself. If you want to manage your iPod directly, change the iPod Options in iTunes to manually manage your iPod. To do this, connect your iPod and click the iPod Options button at the bottom of iTunes (or right-click on the iPod icon if you have iTunes 7). Click the Music button and select "Manually manage songs and playlists." You can then delete tracks directly from your iPod (they will not be correspondingly deleted from iTunes). You'll have to drag songs from your library or playlist to iPod in the Source list to add new tracks.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Can't connect iPod nano since latest iTunes update. Please help :(

Ever since I downloaded the latest versions of iTunes, my 5th gen iPod nano won't connect. I get a pop-up that says, "Could not install hardware" or something to that affect. I switched cables and usb ports, and no change. What should I do?
I was thinking I want to go back to a previous iTunes version, but I have no idea if you can uninstall a version. I've only ever seen tips on uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling the same one.
The best "solution" I've gotten was to buy a new iPod, that I was out of luck and the new iTunes versions obviously don't support older iPods, but I don't think that's right. If it is, Apple has lost a customer forever.
If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate your help.

About one out of every 5 times now my Iphone will sync, the other times it will give one of several errors(see thread above) or it will just stay on the syncing deal forever.
I have not put ANY third party apps on or done anything. Hey Apple, instead of continually putting out updates to turn peoples unlocked phones into bricks, how about addresses some of these syncing issues??
thanks!!

Can you connect ipod nano to more than one pc wiyh no music loss....help!

Hi, I have a iPod nano and I would like to know if you can sync the ipod to more than one pc at a time without loosing all the music on it when you connect to another pc i.e I have a pc at work and one at home and would like to us them both with the same ipod nano to download music...

Yes long as you have it set to manual update. If you started syncing to your home PC, connect it there and rightclick it in itunes, hit options and select "Manual Update" and hit OK.
Now you can connect it to your home and work PC and manually drag and drop songs to it. Now if your buying music on the work PC, you will also want to use windows to add the music files to the iPod, so when you get home you can add these music files to your home PC and make backups

Can't update ipod nano: errors 1417 and 1428

I bought my 4gb iPOD nano a month or so ago and initially it worked perfectly. For the last week when I plug it in to my PC iTunes detects it and lists what's on it but won't update it or write to it in any way: it variously gives me error numbers 1417 and 1428. Bizzarely I can copy files onto it absolutely fine through Windows. I can't even restore it to factory settings since I can't write anything to it! Help!
Thanks very much
Ian

some people have been having some success with the 1417 using eboncairn's technique:

Can't update iPod Nano

When ever I try and update my iPod nano now I get this message, "songs on iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist". Can some please help me. Post here or e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks!

while the ipod is connected and showing up in the itunes source list, go "edit > preferences" and click on the "ipod" tab.
you will currently have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected. compare the list of playlists beneath that setting with the playlists that are showing up in your sourcelist. if you find any that don't currently exist in the itunes sourcelist, uncheck them.
