Charging iPod nano issues

I have no problem updating my iPod nano. I connect easily and iTunes opens and updates the iPod. When I initially connect, the charge signal comes on. However, after updating the iPod stops charging - even though it is still connected. The only way I can find to get it to start charging is to disconnect and reconnect a couple of times and it will eventually work. This usually causes iTunes to freeze on me but at least it starts the iPod nano charging. Is there some reason why the iPod nano would not continue to charge?

u could also try getting a dock or a wall charger.
i suppose, but i shouldn't need to. it's frustrating that the PC does charge the iPod - I just need to try several times and every time it works is when iTunes freezes up.
it does charge until the update is complete so it's almost like the completion of the update is telling the iPod that it doesn't need to charge any more also.....

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

  • Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

    Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

    My biggest concern is that it will fry the circuitry. I don't know what the Amp output is on the Mac-branded wall charger, but I think that USB 2.0 usually only goes up to 0.5A.

    Quick answer is: You can if it works, but it is not recommended.
    Hope this helps.

    Is there another way to charge iPod nano besides connecting it to computer?

    There's various kinds of power adaptors available: for mains power from Apple and third parties, and for charging in a car from third parties. Plenty of options available to allow for shopping around.

  • IPod nano issues restoring/holding charge?

    My ipod nano needs to be restored nightly and is running out of charge without being used, any suggestions?

    I don't know of anything else to suggest. Do you live near the store you purchased it from? Or would you need to send it in?

  • Need to charge IPod Nano in car

    My 5th Gen IPod Nano plays in my new car's MP3 player. But it does not charge. The reason is the car's MP3 Player is only compatible with IPod Nanos Generation 1, 2 and 3. I have 5th Generation.
    Apple support advised I get the ISimple ReVolt Charging Adapter model IS710.
    I bought the ISimple IS710 charger and connected it per the directions - one end of the IS710 into my car's MP3 cable and the other end into my IPod -but my car's MP3 player would not play my IPod's music. I received a message from the car's panel that my IPod is not connected, even though it was. It also seemed that the IS710 adapter did not fit securely into my IPod. But it still would not play even when I held it in securely.
    I looked at the box the IS710 came in and it stated that it was compatible with IPod Nano 4th Generation. It did not mention any other generations. I have IPod Nano 5th Generation. Is that the problem? Any advice? I need to charge this IPod Nano in the car while I am playing its music.

    Apple support advised I get the ISimple ReVolt Charging Adapter model IS710.
    Since Apple recommended this product, call them back & tell them about your issue with this product they recommended.
    Your other recourse is the contact iSimple Customer Service at 866-788-4237 or the number listed in the documentations you have.

  • Windows Vista iPod Nano Issues

    I just bought an iPod Nano 8GB today and when I tried to connect it to my Windows Vista System after installing iTunes, I get an "Add new Hardware" wizard asking me to install the driver for the iPod which obviously doesn't work.
    Of course, I've tried the 5Rs several times and none of them work. Asking here is my last resort.
    I know there are currently issues with Vista but clearly this isn't one of those listed under the article on the site. So I was wondering if this is only specific to my PC.
    Thanks in advance to whoever who can help.

    try what I posted here and report back

  • CD, DVD and ipod nano issues

    I just bought a new iPod nano- the first I have ever owned. I installed the iTunes software and that works okay. I plugged in the nano to the computer and the computer recognizes the nano, but iTunes does not. When I open iTunes, I get the following error message: "iTunes Setup Assistant. Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I have tried reinstalling iTunes several times and it still won't work. I did install the software on my brother's computer and it worked fine, but I can't use that computer on a regular basis. Please help!!!! Thanks!

    hiya!
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    for some advanced techniques for dealing with that message, see:
    iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
    but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, you could try:
    reboot and repair
    reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of itunes. go to your Add/Remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and select "repair".
    ... if no joy with that:
    reinstall the itunes drivers for importing and burning
    you can find them here. if you're on a 32-bit system, use the first link on the page:
    GEAR drivers
    if you've got Norton Ghost installed, read the instructions very carefully. if you still run into trouble with Ghost, see:
    Message: "Insert the "Norton Ghost 10.0" disk and click OK." after installing iTunes 6

  • HT1320 Ipod nano issues

    I Have a ipod nano 6th gen.  It is stuck on a black screen, despite trying; to connect to itunes,charge,reset etc..
    when it is plugged in to charge it almost immedialty starts to get hot and continues to get warmer in temp.
    suggestions ?

    Hello o0st,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Charging iPod nano (2nd gen) with iPod mini adaptor

    Hey
    I just bought my iPod nano 2nd gen, and I realized that there is no wall charger for it. Therefore I am wondering, if I can use the wallcharger for my old iPod mini?
    I that cannot be done, I would like some alternatives, since I would like to bring my iPod on vacation, and therefore I need more than 24 hours of battery life.
    Best regards
    Niels Christian

    Yes.

  • IPod nano issue

    Hello everyone on the Apple Discussions!
    Well Basically I brought an iPod nano for christmas, about a month later their was a problem with the screen (pixel issues) Sent the iPod back to Apple, they replaced it... but after I came back from my trip to france so didn't have anything to listen to on the 3hour train journey
    The new iPod's been fine until last week where it just completley stopped working for no apparent reason, it was completley dead. I'm going to greece soon and the iPod probally won't be back by then...
    I've allways been carefull with my iPod and allways encouraged my friends to get Apple products and allways respected Apple but when I tryed to phone technical support (UK) I got put through to Apple US support and the wrong department. So at the moment i'm really an unhappy customer...
    Would it be possible to refund the iPod nano to get an iPod video (i'd pay the difference) they just look more robust and hold more songs.
    Any help will be highly aprechiated.

  • Charging iPod Nano in the car

    From other posts in this area it seems that the iPod Nano is able to be charged via an Apple Firewire/iPod cable but it will not sync (transfer tunes) via the Firewire cable.
    This seems OK provided that I can continue to use my Griffin car charger to charge the Nano (I connect my current iPod headphone socket to an iFire amplifier and then directly to the car speakers
    (see http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/aoaug/macosx.html#hifi )
    Also I should be able to use my old iPod AC adapter with the firewire cable to the iPod dock connector. My main requirement is to be able to charge the iPod Nano will travelling when I dont have access to a computer with USB.
    This all depends on being able to use the connector cable from the previous model iPod (20Gb) with teh Nano.

    Yes your old iPod chargers will work as long as you can use a cable that connects to the bottom of the iPod (dock connector)
    Also any charging accessory should work again as long as it can be connected as the iPods all required the same charge voltage, etc.

  • ITunes+QuickTime installation from CD of iPod nano Issue

    During installing the s/w from CD. an error regarding QT was displyed (something to do with files) and later the installation was over. When iTunes is launched get an error "iTunes have encountered problem and needs to be closed". and it asks whether you need to send the report to Microsoft.
    Uninstalled iTunes+QT and tried again but no success. Also tried installing the s/w downloaded from apple website did not get QT installation error but still getting the same MS error. After clicking on the error report, the error signature part shows following information.
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.1.3 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
    Also tired to find simlar issue on this forum but no luck and hence posting this message.
    Would appreciate help.
    Thanks in advance.

    After reading certain posts I was able to resolve this issue today morning. I have been working on this since yesterday since my new ipod nano was delivered, so about for 15+ hours on and off.
    The problem started when I tried to install s/w from CD. Hence thought of downloading the s/w from the website. That also did not solve the problem. Then started looking at discussions where lot of posts mentioend the similar issue during the same time frame. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Also went back a week to have my desktops savepoint restored. But no luck.
    Hence when today I found a posting on this site about downloading standalone quicktime, followed that path and what you see, after installing standalone quicktime, iTunes got loaded, was able to see my new ipod nano in itunes and have already uploaded songs on it.
    So whats the lessons learned. Apple still needs to come over the hump of making USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE ( its that what APPLE is known for?).
    Certainly I never thought that it will be such an exercise to have it installed.

  • Charging iPod nano 6th gen

    I have no problem charging the battery thrugh the USB 2.0 port on the computer, but using the firewire power adaptor from my old iPod doesn't seem to work. I also tried using the docking station without luck.
    Do I need a completely different power adaptor to charge my nano? Or am I doing something wrong?

    The problem may have something to do with both the cable and the voltage. Older Nanos run on 12V DC, and newer Nanos on 5V DC. That wouldn't necessarily be a problem (pushing 12V into the device would charge it faster, although it would shorten battery life over the long haul) except that Apple, supposedly also changed the pins designated for charging. Not sure of the exact pin number, but I think #19 is now the 5V charge pin for new Nanos, while in older Nanos it was (I think) #23 or something like that for the 12V charge pin. All in all, the advice below was correct, you can't use an older Firewire iPod cable on newer iPods. The only reason I know about this whole voltage and pin problem is because the new Nanos won't charge while connected to the iPod cable in a new Mercedes Benz - they play fine, but won't charge. Mercedes uses a cable with the old pin set up, and my Nano 6th gen won't charge.

  • Electric shock while charging IPod Nano 3rd Gen

    Hello.
    I bought a new IPod Nano 3rd Generation (4 gigabytes) and I noticed that, if I touch it while it's connected to my PC, it gives me an electrical shock. It's not a hard shock, but you can feel your finger shake and your arm weakens (it's kinda funny. xD)
    To experience this, you mustn't have shoes, obviously.
    I'd like to know if this is natural or if I should change it for a new one.
    I believe it's something bad because the IPod runs out of battery quickly, but I play Solitaire a lot, so I don't know if it's my fault. :s
    Thanks, in advance, for your answer.

    BTW this same problem came up back in August and then I suggested to the poster that a bad line cord might be the issue. Turns out that is exactly what it was...
