Help!!! my nano stopped working

I have a 2gb nano running fine for about 6months when it suddenly stopped working. The screen turns on but i cant scroll or select anything. The pod reboots as soon as i press the menu button after toggling the hold switch.I have tried restoring it and rebooting it but nothing seems to help. Its connecting fine with my comp transfering music charging doing all what is supposed to do except the controlls dont seem to be working.

Try resetting the iPod:
Make sure the hold switch is OFF (no orange color showing) and then hold down the MENU button and the SELECT (center) button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If this does not work, or it does not resolve the issue, try restoring the iPod.

If this still does not resolve your issue, it could be that the Clickwheel on your iPod is just not working... in which case, your iPod would need to be serviced.

  • New ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

  • ITunes Helper Module has stopped working

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and now iTunes and Quicktime wont open at all. When I click on iTunes or when I first turn the computer on, a window pops up that says the iTunes Helper module has stopped working. Then another window pops up right after that says "iTunes has stopped working". It checks for a solution to the problem and then says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." When I try to open QuickTime, it says "Runtime error! Program:C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTime Player.exe This application has requested the RunTime to terminate it in an unusual way." I have Vista which seems to cause problems with the firewall and iTuens, so I turned off the firewall from my security software, switched on the windows firewall, and made sure the settings were right. I even tried doing a System restore to the previous version (same problems) and then tried reinstalling the new version (Still same problems). Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    hey stess,
    I have the exact problem you have. I tried deleting (went into program files and deleted the folders ) from my system and reinstalling it. It worked until i rebooted my system, I am still on xp. The restore doesnt help either. It cant be my ipod ( its quiet old!) as it isnt even connected to my system at start up. I think maybe a bug with the new version that will eventually have more and more users affected when they update. I f i find a solution I will post asap... good luck

  • 5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

    My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.

  • HT202183 My power button on 6th gen nano stopped working.

    hello everybody.
    the power button on my 6th gen nano stopped working. everything else is ok but won't switch on unless plugged in to power. then its fine.
    I think the power button is broken/stuck.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    If so how did you fix it/ how much did it cost to fix?

    Take the iPod Nano into an Apple Store.  After the folks there examine it, they will quote you an estimate.  Or you can call them and ask.

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

  • Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

    People please help me out!  I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
    I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB).  I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video.  I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
    Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
    Uninstall Quicktime
    Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
    Reset the iPod (several times)
    Delete TEMP files on computer
    Restart the computer (several times)
    Use a different cable and a different USB port
    The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors.  My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
    PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
    Thanks very much!

    It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
    Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
    If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:

  • 3RD GENERATION IPOD NANO STOPPED WORKING THE SECOND I CONNECTED IT TO ITUNES TO UPDATE MY LIBRARY ... I TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND NOTHING IS WORKING ... AND IT WAS WORKING PERFECT RIGHT BEFORE I CONNECTED TO ITUNES ... HMMM.

    I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START BUT OR STARTERS LET ME JUST SAY I TOOK GREAT CARE OF MY IPOD NANO 3RD GEN AND THERE IS NO REASON ON MY PART WHY IT STOPPED WORKING... BUT IT DID STOP WORKING AS SOON AS I CONNECTED IT TO MY ITUNES LIBRARY... SO I AM A BIT SUSPICIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST... I ALSO HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH AND THAT'S WORKING JUST FINE. BUT BACK TO MY IPOD NANO 3RD GEN... WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON WITH IT

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • IPod Nano stops working after 1.0.2 firmware update

    I just updated the firmware of my ipod nano last night to 1.0.2. I was using thru out the day when it suddenly stops playing the next music in my playlist. My ipod shows the play icon but there is no sound and the play track is not moving. Tried to play a different music and videos but the same problem occurs. Tried to reset is several times but doesn't fix the problem will try to reset the firmware later when I get home.

    Just got the nano 3rd gen yesterday. Already had a Nano 1st gen. Running Itunes 7.x on windows 2000 os at work (1st gen nano used there). Needed new Nano in a hurry, so went to RShack and bought one. Ran home....Itunes says wont work with Nano 3rd gen. Went to download upgrade for Itunes, and find out the upgrade won't run unless running windows XP or VISTA.... Borrrowed a laptop with XP OS and got latest Itunes. Happy...happy...joy...joy, now I can get Itunes and new Nano to work together. Now gotta get music off old Nano and into new Nano usiing borrowed laptop. (Found a program on net called 'SimpleCenter' to do this.) Xferred music from old Nano to Itunes on laptop, then transferred entire library to new Nano. (Was out of reach of wireless network while doing this, so was unable to 'UPDATE NANO' when prompted by Itunes.)
    Sooo...
    Took laptop over to its owners home (and wirless network) and Updated the firmware to 1.0.2. When supposedly complete, the new Nano starts to Reset continuously (Apple Logo....Menu Screen......Apple Logo.....Menu Screen....Apple Logo etc. etc.) Oh 'darn' ........
    So frustrating.... Disconnected new Nano from laptop during the couple seconds the main menu was showing.
    For grins went to play the solitaire game that comes with new Nano, but comes up with error message saying it (the game) won't load. (Worked fine earlier, before the 'upgrade')
    Oh Mannnn..... I find that there a 'ton' of other 3rd gen Nano usere having same problem with firmware upgrade 1.0.2.
    I will wait for some response from Apple on this issue for a few weeks before I take the device back to dealer. I expect that this problem will be resolved by Apple in quick order in the form of a new firmware upgrade (or something similar). I really don't want to hassle the dealer at this time, and can live with the old Nano at least until the end of November, when I will be needing both Nanos for a special event.

  • HELP! flash stops working when I want to import a sequence of images to stage

    Please! I need help asap! I downloaded Flash CS5 and I am using it as a trial and every time I want to import a sequence of images to stage the program stops working and closes without saving. I need to do this projecto for the day after tomorrow and Flash is just not working right. This project is a stop motion animation.
    I will deeply appreciate any help, since I just don't know what else to do!
    Laura.

    I cannot individually cause it's a stop motion animation...like 200 pictures (this part, the whole of it is like 1000), it would take me a lot of time.  I tried doing it in parts, but when  I get to frame number 100 more or less the program just shuts down...I really really don't know what else to try.

  • SUPPORT TECH HELP - "iTunes has stopped working"

    Trying to find out how to get help on this site is EXTREMELY frustrating. I want to just submit and email but apparently you can't do that...or they make it impossible for you to find an easy way to.
    I'm hoping this will get to a SUPPORT TECHNICIAN and not just the random "community" of customers.....
    My iTunes stops working ever since I've tried to connect it with the iCloud thing. I don't want all my stuff floating around the interwebs so I've never used that cloud before, HOWEVER, in order for my DisneyMoviesAnywhere to connect to my iTunes account so that i can watch the movies I've purchased I have to use that cloud. But of course, everything crashes now. Apparently the iCloud is needed to get my purchased movies from Disney to iTunes.
    SO, I've included the "problem details" when iTunes crashes. (FYI,  I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to find this thread again to see if a support technician has responded. Hopefully they can access my email address from my account and respond to me there.)

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    "iTunes in the cloud" is one aspect of Apple's cloud services and gives you access to your qualifying past purchases. Any item in the store can be removed by the rights holders without prior notice at any time, so it is possible that Disney removed the movies you are trying to redownload.

  • HELP Mail has stopped working

    On my G3 Tower, my mail account has stopped working. It says it can't communicate with the host. But, I haven't changed anything about my wireless network and my browsers are working just fine. I also have a G4 laptop and all is fine with the mail function. I've tried taking the .mail file out of the preferences file and copying it to my desktop. It gives the same error. Any ideas how to fix this??
    Thanks

    Hi Adnan,
    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.
