I have a nano 5th generation and buttons do not work but click wheel does
My buttons often do not work. Until today, if I toggled the move button I could get it to work after 3-4 minutes of trying. I restored the nano 1 hour ago. It turned on to teh menu, I moved to shuffle and selected that. SOngs are playing. But now none of the buttons work. Battery is charged, I toggle the hold switch, nothing helps. If I press the play-pause, the screen will light up for a few seconds. But that is all I can do. I can't go to the menu, go forward or reverse. I can't reset by pressing menu and select.
The only way I can stop the music is to plug it in with iTunes open - sync starts - music stops. But when I disconnect it after ejecting, it still is on - menu screen.
Is the nano toast?

My iPod Nano 5th Gene Play button is not working
My iPod Nano 5th gene's play button stopped working recently, meaning I can't pause my music and I have to use the "sleep" option to turn it off! I've had it for nearly 3 years, so the warrant is up, and I live no where near an Apple store.
Is none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting resolve the issue, you can be certain that it's hardware related.

So whether or not you live near an Apple store, you still need to take or send your iPod in for service to have an out of warranty exchange done for the prices listed on this page.

You could also do some research on third party services that will actually repair the damaged component for a little less than what you would pay if you went the Apple route. A Google search for "iPod Nano repair service" should give you a number of results to work with.

I have my ipod nano 5th generation and when i plugged to my computer it is recognized but i cant do anything. On the ipod all i can see is a blackscreen with the apple sign! How can i fix this?
Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,

I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to delete all personal content, and be signed out of my Apple ID as well, but there are apps that no longer exist on the apple store that I would like to keep.
Do this:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings -
Hello! So I have a iPod 5th generation, and I just had a recent update, it was for iOS 6.1.3, and now for some reason, I can't get the iOS 7 update. Could anyone help me?
Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
Be patient and try again later. -
I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes
I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.
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.
- 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 Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic. -
I have Ipod Nano 6th generation. My computer recognizes device but Itunes doesn't. Any suggestions?

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4? Mac OS X 10.6.8. 17" MacBook Pro
Use your Software Update under the Apple menu, it SHOULD bring Safari up to 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8.
Apple IS issuing security and other updates for Snow Leopard users.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Safari 6+ is only for 10.7+ users as OS X is morphing into iOS.
10.7 and 10.8 will not run your PPC based apps of 10.5/10.6
If Software Update is not working, then you have other issues, backup your users folders off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and run through this list of fixes.

I am using iPhone 4S lock came from Japan. From beginning, it is IOS 5.1.1 but now i have updated to IOS 7 and it is not working anymore now. Can you tell me what i have to do now?
No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
Best of luck. -
Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked
Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked
What is going on in Snow Leopard.
It seems Window buttons (X, -, +) Do Not Always Work when clicked.
Sometimes window does opens, closes, minimizes and often times it does not.
You have have re click like crazy
Message was edited by: macguitarmanWhat app are you using?
Here's something strange I've noticed in Mail a couple times.
For some reason Mail opens several viewer windows all stacked on top of each other.
So while click the close button does close the window, there's an identical on behind it.
So it almost seems like clicking the close button has done nothing but it really has.
Could this be what your seeing?

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?
I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

is there a difference (besides color) between the nano 5th generation (silver, black, purple, pink, etc) and the red 5th generation special edition?
There is not difference in fetures if that's what you are asking. But it does go to a good cause.

i have a ipod nano 5th generation. use to work fine now will not sync. have done the 5rs several times all that got me was no songs on my ipod at all. have latest version of itunes. when run diognostics test on itunes pass all but says no ipod touch found. whay is it saying no touch when its a nano? I will never purchase another ipod only worked until the warnety ended.
Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day! -
IPod Nano 5th generation and iTunes library
Any way to get songs on my iPod Nano 5th generation into my iTunes library? Sync doesn't work.
Lost a lot of my iTunes library recently due to a sync mistake. (I know, I'm an idiot.) Much/most of the same music is still on my iPod Nano. But something tells me Apple doesn't want me to get it back into my library so I have to buy it all over again...? Would a tech at Apple store be able to do something for me?
Not optimistic.Hello lilooloool,
To get music off your iPod nano, you can transfer anything that was purchased from the iTunes Store. You can also just download any purchased songs from the iTunes Store as well without having to sync. Take a look at the article below for steps on how to do either option.
