Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • Mac Mini repeatedly getting "Press power button and restart your computer"

    I keeping getting the following message coming up on my Mac Mini "Press power button and restart your computer". I have a G4 Mac mini and it boots up fine and runs ok for about 10 mins however after that time (if left) the message comes up. I restart the machine and the same thing happens again.

    Isolate the cause as my FAQ suggests. Backup, or recover your data first*

    and then discover if the issue is hardware, a directory, or software.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My 7th Generation iPod Nano shuts off whenever I press a button.

    I bought my iPod nano 16 GB a few months ago, and I noticed that sometimes, when I tried to open the screen (pressing the top button or the menu button) instead of opening, the iPod shut itself completely, and then rebooted, I could see the Apple logo on white screen, etc.
    I went to exchange it once, after I finally managed to find the time, and then, when I tried the new one, it had exactly the same problem, but twice as worse.
    Now when I try to choose a song, open the screen, wander in my playlists or even when the song ends and tries to load the next one, it reboots, and at the same time, it generally resets the general settings (brightness, wallpaper, time zone, etc.)
    Now, I don't know exactly what is wrong with those 2 iPods, but it is very frustrating, and discouraging. I can't even manage to choose a song before it reboots and I have to try again, after what it generally crashes again. I'd say it does 75% of the time I touch it.
    I am using a windows 7 64-bit laptop, incase that helps, but apart from going back to the store and getting a 3rd one that, hopefully works properly this time around, which I could barely find time to, since I live far as **** from the closest applestore here, I don't see what I could possibly have done wrong.
    Also, I never dropped it, or even scratched its screen, I never had any problems while synchronizing it and I never bullied it either.

    Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

  • I was able to download 10.8.5 but have been stuck on the install screen with "two minutes" remaining for an hour now. I'm afraid to hold the power button and shut it off. What can I do to resolve this? :[

    What can I do! I know servers are busy but if its installing right now before the restart it means its finished downloading from apple servers so I don't understand why it has been installing with two minutes remaining for a really long time now :[ I'm afraid ill lose all my files if I do a hard turn off.
    Thank you guys for your help!

    You may have no choice. If you hear no disk activity, you can hold down Command-Control-power button to force a restart. It should pick up where it left off.
    No backup is always risky.

  • My Ipad will not start up. I had shut off normally with wake/sleep button and now will not start.

    my iAD WONT START AFTER i HAD SHUT IT OFF USING THE SLEEP WAKE BUTTON. iS THERE SOMETHING i NEED TO RESET, AND HOW?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • My Iphone 5c keeps shutting off my itself for no reason,and it will not turn on for awhile, then it'll just turn on by itself.

    It'll be just sitting on the table & it'll just turn off and it takes like 5 minutes to turn it back on. Sometimes the screen will freeze and lines will come on the screen and the screen will go purple, and it'll just turn off. What should I do? Go get it looked at? Does it sound like water damage or something? I just got it like a week ago. It hasn't been dropped or anything. Shouldn't be no water damage.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up... if that doesn't work try it with the phone charge to the wall outlet.

  • Ipod nano 7 th gen not shown on itunes but detected on vista.

    Hi when i connect my ipod to laptop it is detectd on my  windows but my i tunes is unable to identify my ipod, what shuld i do??

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
    How to reset iPod
    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

    I was downloading the new IOS and message could not find Iphone appears in Itunes window - Now my my phone is stuck with the power symbol and an arrow pointing to the Itunes symbol, I have tried turning off my phone and turning it back on but nothing seems to work

    So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
    Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again.

    Hi
    I have an Ipod nano which is nearly 12mths old. Recently the shuffle aspect has not been working and I have to manually press the forward arrows on the screen to move onto the next piece of music. If i dont press the forward arrows the same piece of music plays over and over.
    regards

    Hello
    Tap the screen when playing a song and you should see playback options and tap the repeat until it is white. When it is blue it on repeat and if it has a 1 on it then it is repeating the same song over and over again.

  • Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes

    Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes. Before you send me to the help pages, i have followed EVERY STEP you provided, from uninstalling, removing temp files... you name it. I was recently upgraded to windows 8.1.

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • I have an iPod Nano 6th Generation for just over three months and the down volume button is sticking.  Does anyone have a recommendation for resolving?

    I have an iPod Nano 6th Generation for just over three months and the down volume button is sticking.  Does anyone have a recommendation for resolving?

    Dont buy this model again, this is the most common problem and i have gone through 4 of these 6th gen nanos all with the same problem.  You can find youtube videos that show you how to fix it yourself but you run the risk of breaking your ipod, also opening the ipod voids any warrently.

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.
