Freezing Up Problem with 2G Nano 8gb

My 2G Nano 8gb freezes up at least once to twice ever 2 weeks. This began happening when I bought it. After charging and disconnecting, when I try to play a track it just freezes up. I usually hold select and menu to restart. I tried a system restore the 2nd week, but it did not help.
Its not that big of deal, but this is my 5th iPod and none of the previous models did this. Seeing that I tried to restore the software, do any of you think that this is a hardware issue and warrants a visit to the Genius Bar?

If it were me, I certainly would be paying a visit to an Apple store and have them take a look.
Especially with an iPod so new.

Charging problems with 2gb nano

I have two ipod's and my nano will not charge when connected to my computer. It does charge however, when I connect it to my ac adapter but it gives me a weird plug icon on top of the battery icon. The only time I have seen this before is when the battery is fully charged. I know the battery is not fully charged because it only lasts a few hours and then gives me the "ipod is out of battery power" message. Any suggestions?

I had a problem with my nano,it wouldn't turn on so I reset it and held dowm the menu button and it turned on but now the only way it will turn on is if I reset it and hold the menu button down after the apple logo appears but no buttons are broken.Did you find a solution as to why it doesn't turn on after you get the apple logo? It would be appreciated. thx

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

Problems with iPod Nano 6th Gen Playback & Updating

Hi. I have had a look and can't find another post on this - apologies if I have missed it!
My problems start before I purchased my new Nano 16GB last week.
When the last update of iTunes came available, I was unable to install it. The task bar would get to about 50% (although it varied) and would then time out. When I had this problem I tried everything from every forum imaginable, from deleting all Temp files, disabling the firewall and all start up applications and clearing the registry – everything. Nothing worked. Eventually I decided that I should uninstall, then install the new version.
After a week of the same problems trying to install iTunes, I gave up and downloaded on another computer, and saved the .exe file to a USB stick. This worked until two days after I downloaded it, yet another update came out and I had to start all over again (I didn’t – I am running on 10.1.2.17 still).
I was concerned when I purchased my new Nano that I would have problems connecting it to iTunes as I was not running the new version – but it was okay. Unfortunately, the iPod requires update 1.1 and I am also having the same problem with this – I get time out error 3259 after sometime trying to download it. And yes, I have tried all the same tricks, but nothing seems to work.
I am running Vista on a Dell PC, and connect to the internet on a pre-pay internet USB dongle. I can download updates for other programmes, and other files successfully – it is only iTunes that I am having an issue with. ITunes is added to my list of accepted programmes on my firewall, but I disable that when I am downloading.
Meanwhile! My new iPod is fantastic. Unfortunately I am experiencing an odd problem with it, and cannot seem to find other people with the same issue. The memory is not overloaded (it has 1.10GB of free space on it). I have 1857 tracks on it, and 14 podcasts. I play the music files through the ‘Songs’ menu, on Shuffle mode. For some reason, after playing one or two tracks, it doesn’t seem to want to play the next one. The track will be displayed on the screen, but it does not play. When you look at the song progress bar, it shows that it is part way through the song, but it is not moving. I have tried pressing ‘Pause’ followed by ‘Play’ and nothing happens.
The only way to get it to start playing again is to skip to the next track, but even this has its issues. Sometimes, when you skip forward a track, it plays a completely different track to the one that is displayed. When you look at the progress bar for the song it is showing, it isn’t moving, but music is still coming out!
Does anyone have any idea what the issue is, and how I can get the machine to play continuously without having to handle it several times? Please?!

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Two Problems with iPod Nano!

Hi Community!
As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
THX for helping me!
dynAdZ

Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

Problem with ipod nano updater

Hi.
I have the other problem with my ipod nano. I reset my software ipod nano, but ipod updater 2006-01-10 write:"iPod Updater 2006-01-10 cannot continue because there are other applications using iPod. Please close all iPod applications andtry again.". But I don´t using other applications, iTunes is closed. I try my iPod update on other computer, but text is same. Can you help me please?
iPod is correct only as external disk. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm on a Mac so things may not work the same. Have you tried restarting your computer? If you do that maybe nothing will be using it at first.
I hope someone who knows Windows will come to help you.

Problems with My Nano when using Accessories

I bought my nano in November and haven't had any problem with it...until now. For x-mas I got an ITrip and a music station. My Nano doesn't like them. It worked once, and then stopped working. I took my nano to an Apple Store where they reset everything. It worked...for a day and now my nano won't play music through the ITrip or music station! Any ideas because I don't want to reset it and then re-load everything when I want to use my accessories. Thanks!

Hello Ashers,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I don't want to reset it and then re-load everything when I want to use my accessories.
Resetting will not delete songs/photos from your nano. Sometimes there's a glitch in the nano, where you would have to reset:
Resetting iPod
The next time when you plug your nano to your iTrip and music station, you might want to try turning your nano on first. See if that helps.

Problems with my nano zen 1

hello all.. i have some problems with my NEW nano zen player gb i have put my mp3 on it but only 600 mb of mp3 but i have other 388 mb free but i cannot put other song on it!! why it happens? so on this player i can put only 24 mp3 ? can u help me pls?
sorry for my english i am italian

From the FAQ:
"I can't seem to fit any more files on my flash player yet I have free space, why?
The MuVo has a limit as to how many files will fit in the root, which is around 30 when formatted as FAT. Delete some files, create folders and use these to organise your collection."
So to fill up the player you need to have many of the files in folders. I suggest that you put all the files in folders. I have a separate folder for each artist on my n200. You can use Windows explorer to create the folders. You will first need to delete a few songs to make room for the new folders, since only around 28 items are allowed in the root.

Problem with ipod nano when i sync my contacts and calendr

For the calendars I use the thunderbird Mozilla calendar (that I export in .vcs) but the problem is that the appointment appear in my ipod with a different time: 18:00 on Mozilla become 16:00 in Ipod... Note that both (ipod and Mozilla Calendar) are configured with time zone in Paris.
For the Contact I have all in Thunderbird contact. The problem is that his software can't export the contact in vcard format (only in csv). Do you know a free software to convert my contact from Thunderbird to vcard format ?
Thanks in advance.

On the phone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the account you want and scroll down to the settings for Contacts. You can change display and sort order there.

Have you been having problems with ipod nano 3rd gen?

Have you been having problems with your ipod nano 3rd gen? got a windows xp computer? is your pc not recognizing it? I think i may have the solution. After 2 2 hour calls to apple tech support they were stumped. we reset it again and again, reinstalled itunes again and again. and they had no solution for me. I went to my device managerand there was a device called (apple Ipod USB driver) with a yellow exclamation point. I tried updating driver but to no avail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. But then I had an epiphany. I went to the device manager right clicked the apple ipod usb device clicked properties then update driver. Hardware wizard went up and I chose not to install automatically. and i chose to install driver manually. and then I installed a generic usb mass storage driver in its place and presto!!! it worked! it was instantly recognized by itunes and it took me to the registration page. I did what the apple support team wasn't able to do for 4 hours. I wonder if they're accepting applications... Anyway i hope this helps anyone out there cause i know i went through a lot of stress.

the driver is just a regular usb mass storage driver. it's in your computer. it's just a matter of installing it manually where it saya to include the location of the driver click browse and choose c:\windows\system32

Problem with Ipod Touch 8gb and Monster Beats Solo HD

Apple Ipod o guys , i bought an Ipod Touch there in this january , and 2 weeks later , when i got back to Brazil , my cousin did me the favor to crack my screen pretty good . So now , im wondering ,what can i do to fix it ,because the Apple Support here said that they would only give me a discount to buy a new one ( and its a REALLY cheap discount ) , and if i choose to fix it from a unauthorized apple store , it would cost something like 300 dollars or so . ( Thats even more than i paid for the entire thing ) . So , as you can see , my country cant actually help me out on this one . Do you guys have any advice for what i could do ?
P.S. : I paid like 20 bucks for a special kind of insurance . Not sure if it would do me any good now .
Monster Beats : So ...as a lot of people , i think the headphones are great . But i really thing they are "popped " ( not sure whats the english term tho ) , i can still hear music and stuff but sometimes some kind of noise ( very annoying btw ) starts to come out , mostly when in low pitch notes ( again , not sure whats the english term lol ) like in hip hop songs and stuff .. Is there anything i can do for this one too ?
Well , thats it guys , i hope you guys could understand my bad english ( sorry if you guys didn't ) . Any help would be deeply aprecciated .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello NashOwnz,
I was disappointed to read about the problem with your iPod! If you have Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, Geek Squad can offer you service for the iPod, but it will need to be brought to a Best Buy store. Knowing that you're in Brazil, I realize that complicates matters.
For support with your headphones, please visit the Monster Beats website. I hope this helps.

Playlist problem with podcasts Nano 2nd g 8GB

I have podcasts that I put into playlists, and usually it will play from one to the next, but now it plays only each one individually and then goes back to the main menu, so if I have 8 podcasts of 5 minutes each, I can run for 40 minutes without touching the iPod, but now I have to reselect each one. This happened once before and I don't know what I did to fix it. I have deleted and recreated the playlists to no avail. Music goes from one to the next without a problem, but each Podcast is listed as "1 of 1" rather than "1 of 8" or whatever number.

That renames the iPod but we still have the problem of getting the right songs on to it. We have one playlist designated for the shuffle but it won't take the songs. What are we doing wrong?
