HT1320 iPod nano is stuck in Disk Mode. How do I reset it?

iPod nano is stuck in Disk Mode and menu wheel is unresponsive. How do I reset without losing data on iPod?

Hello jarhead232.
To try and resolve this issue, please unplug the power from the unit for about 25-30 minutes. Once this time frame has passed, plug the unit in directly to a wall outlet to see if the printer will power on.
If the issue persists, please contact our support group using the "Contact Us" link below.

IPod (dock connector) stuck in disk mode

i just replaced the HD on my iPod(dock connector)and now it stuck on disk mode. i tried to reset but it showed a folder with an exclaimation point and went back to disk mode flashing the "do not" symbol and "do not disconnect". it don't show up on my PC or my iTunes. HELP!

That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Ipod classic 120 stuck in disk mode, not recognized by windows or itunes

so ive been havin tons of problems with my new ipod 120 classic
first one day when i plugged it in it told me it was corrupted and needed to be restored
then it would not restore
i formated it with windows but that didnt seem to do anything
the other night somehow i got it to the point of naming my ipod but after that, it stopped working again
for a while i couldnt even put it into disk mode
now, when it is plugged into the computer it is stuck in disk mode, yet not recognized by the computer or itunes
it makes the sound when i plug it in but never shows up
also, when its not plugged in, it starts up and just brings me to a screen that says use itunes to restore. but then i plug it in and it goes right to disk mode and do not connect, and isnt recognized
when i unplug it i can see it pop up on my computer for that one second i unplug it
ive tried this on a number of computers and it does the same thing
when i unplug it from being plugged into the computer it just sits in diskmode saying ok to connect
if i reset it by pressing center and menu, it just goes back to the use itunes to restore screen
i cant get it to enter diagnostic mode, and when i hit center and play after center and menu it does nothing either
ive just about had it with ipods
this is my 3rd or 4th classic that i have had problems with
apple should be ashamed of themselves for such a buggy product for so much money, and very very crappy service
any help greatly appreciated....but im prety sure ill be moving onto another product after this
luckily i am still under warranty so they offered for me to send it in....but then i am without music for about a week
i feel i should be compensated for that alone, aside from just fixing it for me
please help me fix this so i can get back to some tunes!
thanks for any info

My iPod Classic is stuck in disk mode, won't charge on a wall mount, iTunes won't recognize it, and it got this way from me trying to restore it like it said. What do I do now?

So, I tried to restore my iPod to the factory settings via iTunes. It has been a few days now and its still stuck in disk mode telling me "Do Not Disconnect" and it only charges on my laptop. I tried hooking it up to a wall mount to charge and than it told me that I need to use iTunes to restore it. Here's the thing, it won't leave disk mode and its not registering on my iTunes. What can I do to get it back to normal,
Oh yeah, all of the latest updates for my software and iTunes are current.

Ipod Nano is Stuck in Shuffle Mode in my Nissan Juke

I plug my Ipod Nano into the glove box and I am able to use the control on my dash and steering wheel to control my Ipod. The only problem is, I can't go to whatever artist I want. The Ipod will only allow me to listen to the songs in shuffle mode. Anyone having the same issue or know anything about it?

I have the same problem with my 6g when connecting to my Ford Fusion. It shuffles everything.
I have:
-- performed a "master reset" on Sync
-- updated Sync software
-- restored my new ipod through iTunes
-- restored the settings on the ipod itself
-- updated ipod software
-- *disabled the "shuffle" options for Sync*
-- *turned off the "Shake to Shuffle" option on my new ipod*
-- indexed the music on my iPod (through iTunes) in this order: genre, artist, album, track
...and it still shuffles my music. I don't believe it's Sync because I had a 2nd generation iPod too. It works with Ford's Sync with no problems.
So, this is the same issue with the 6 generation iPod nano with 2 different car companies and 2 different vehicle models:
--Nissan Juke
--Ford Fusion
I think it's a bug that needs addressing.

IPod Nano (6G) Stuck In Recovery Mode Loop

Hi guys,
I recently found that my iPod Nano (6G) wouldn't turn on. That was until I plugged into my Macbook Pro and it told me I had to perform a recovery.
So, after performing this recovery and erasing all the data, it just told me the same over and over, never displaying anything except "Do No Disconnect" or "OK To Disconnect" on the screen, even after I've ejected it.
This happens every time I plug it in and nothing will appear on the screen unless I do so. I've read on other pages that it can be a drive letter mix-up, but that only appears to be a solutions for PCs.
Any help is hugely appreciated!

I have this same issue with a 2nd gen iPod. Being instructed to remap the drive letter when windows says the drive is unreadable is not an option. Not possible. The drive does not show in the top half of the device manager, so therefore cannot be right-clicked. Anyone have another suggestion? (the ipod exists in iTunes in a "restore loop" - I discovered it being unreadable when I tried to reformat it).

HT1329 when click on ipod Nano (7th generation) on desktop of new mac air, NO folders show in ipod nano (even though in disk mode...) - help - why do none of folders of music show? cannot transfer

hi all
i am trying to use my ipod nano 7th gen. to transfer all music from my ipod nano to my new macbook air
i read the apple article but the step where it says
'double click on ipod on desktop and transfer/drag the itunes folder to your itunes folder in computer/hard drive' - there are NO FOLDERS and nothing showing when i double click on my ipod nano
no music shows
even though i have 7 days of music on there
what can i do?

*Please don't just tell me to switch to a Mac.* Giggle, giggle!
*The local Apple Store is baffled, but it appears they don't want to give me my money back or a credit due to it being bought from Amazon (even though they are an authorized reseller).* Just because they are an "authorized reseller" does not mean that Apple can recoup the refund.
Now, to your problem. Perhaps the Apple Store already suggested this but you always want to begin with the basics. These steps might not solve your problem but they're kind of like checking to confirm that the TV is plugged in before you troubleshooot the blank screen.

My 6th generation nano is stuck in diagnostic mode. I tried resetting it but itunes does not recognize it. I've tried holding down various combinations of sleep, volume up and down without any success. Any thoughts?

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.
