FROZEN Brand New Week Old iPod Nano 3rd Generation!!!!

I just got this ipod. I was listening to music.. and went to plug it in. Then I did, and it FROZE. It wont move, the hold isnt on. Ive tried every button, plugging it back in.. and so much more. It wont show up in my computer and it doesnt respond to anything i do. No, i havent dropped it or anything. Ive been treating it like royalty. Help!

I've only had mine just over a month. I just connected it to the USB to update and it froze on me. It thinks it's locked, but I've toggled the lock back and forth numerous times (as it says to on the support page). The backlight remains on, and menu+select does nothing, no matter how long I hold my fingers down. Plugging it into the charger and back into the Mac did nothing either. I'm guessing it's a case of just waiting for the battery to run out.
It's going to have to go back, isn't it? grumble

  • I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

    Hi sid1010,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library.  Here's how:

    Hi Matt00,
    thank you for your response. I followed the steps you suggested, but still no luck.   Is a the fact that I am using a notebook a problem? I have been doing more searching and it seems my HP Pavilion Notebook does not have a firewire port?

  • Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

    I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
    The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
    I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
    Can someone help me?

    Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
    So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

  • Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

    My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
    i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
    a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
    but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?

    As the iPod is brand new you should return the iPod to the place of purchase and get it exchanged.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Generation Battery

    I recently won a sweepstakes that included a iPod Nano 3rd Generation.  The iPod was brand new in the box.  The problem is the battery does not hold a charge.  I have left the iPod connected to my MacBook Pro overnight to charge.  When I disconnect the iPod, it instantly turns off.  I know these iPods were produced several years ago.  Am I missing something obvious here or is it just not working because the battery has set idle for 2+ years?

    Can I revert back to a previous version? Or must I upgrade to a newer device? Thank you for you expertise!!

  • IPod Nano 3rd generation: Only plays songs recently downloaded to my iTunes Library

    iPod Nano 3rd generation (Version 1.1.3) for Windows
    Any song that I download onto the iPod shows up in its library, but when I try to listen to the songs, they won't play.
    The only songs the iPod will play are those that have just recently downloaded onto my iTunes library.
    If the new songs aren't on the iPod, then when I try to play a song, the "now playing" screen shows up, not showing any songs, and the playlist says "playing 1 of 0"

    Hi LeviBC,
    It sounds quite frustrating having your iPod only play certain songs, I am quite sure I would be unhappy in similar circumstances. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    If you are having issues with your iPod nano (3rd generation) not playing some of your music, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps found on this page -

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?
    [x|http://www.parikesit.com]

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
