I have a sixth generation ipod nano (16 gb) that does not turn on

When i plug it into my PC, it connects to itunes, and asks me to restore it. After I restore it, it asks me to prepare for a system recovery for the ipod. Then it repeats this endlessly. It is out of factory warrenty as far as i know.
I thought it was a battery problem, but it may be more than that. Is there any hope for my ipod?

Try changing the iPod's drive letter as it may be conflicting with another device that has the same drive letter assigend to here. See here for more details.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    Copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • Sixth generation iPod Nano won't connect

    I have a sixth generation ipod nano.  When I connect it to my computer, it will charge, but I can't add any music.  It won't show up in the iTunes sidebar, nor will disk mode work (I tried putting it into disk mode and it goes straight to the "safe to eject" screen and I have to do the sleep+volume down restart).  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, reset the iPod, reset my computer, tried a different cord, and everything else the support website said to do.  Is there anything else I can try or I'm I screwed?

    When you connect the iPod, does its screen change to indicate that it is connecting? 
    In iTunes, you do not see it in the sidebar, under DEVICES?  NOTE:  The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar.  If it is hidden, go to menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
    Try going through this procedure, to see if the iPod's assigned drive letter is the problem

    When you do this, do you see it listed in Computer Management?

  • Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano!

    Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano! Unfortunately he is not working as it used to, in this regard, I would like to clarify: Can I change it at the official Apple store, a new one? If so, how much will it cost? (no money to buy a new Ipod, and I would like to change to the new surcharge).
    In advance, thank you!

    At an Apple Store they will give you 10% off the price of an new one if you recycle your old one.
    But if you have a 1st Generation iPod you need to go this route: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • Duration sixth generation iPod Nano Battery Standby?

    My sixth-generation iPod nano can not keep the battery in standby for more than two hours,informing me know if this is normal or can deal with problems on my device?

    I've only been using my new 4th Generation Nano for a few weeks. I already own 2 other MP3 players, and only bought an iPod for the Nike+. I feel like someone stole $175 from me and from the comments I'm not sure how to get it back. I charge it all day on my computer at work, yet it only has about an hour of battery life. I used it for an hour work-out the other day - without music, I was walking with a friend - then turned it off and locked it off. The next day it was completely dead. It was bad the first couple of weeks, but now it's hit a new level. I can't imagine how it is supposed to shoot or run video if can't maintain an hours worth of low battery usage. Is Apple going to address their shoddy work? Or please Nike get in bed with another electronics company!!

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • HT4059 I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano and cannot get audiobooks to sync with it. The manual says this is a valid feature but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select.  What am I doing wrong?

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

  • 5th generation iPod touch lock screen suddenly does not function/ or respond to touch?

         Recently, I was using my iPod touch to take a picture of the beach, while I was at the beach. It functioned perfectly well, but afterwards the lock screen did not respond to touch. It is 100% battery at the moment. Though my hands were just a tiny bit wet at the time, I do not believe the issue is hardware related. I also do not believe this is related to the fact that my hands were wet while using the device. This is because when I swipe down to open my notification on the lock screen, it responds to my touch.  Although I cannot access any of the apps on notification center, and it will not respond when I click on notifications, the software does allow me to open notification center.
         I cannot slide to unlock my iPod touch, all of a sudden. Also, I cannot open the camera app via the lock screen either. When a friend texted me (through iMessage), a notification showed up on the lock screen. The only action the lock screen allows me to do is access the notification center.
         Also, when connected to my Mac and wall charger, it will charge. I am currently operating on iOS 7.1.1, so I have been due for a software update.
         Would updating through my iMac solve this problem? Also I plan on backing up all the data onto my computer (esp. photos). How should I solve this problem? If I were to upgrade to iOS 7.1.2 would it be helpful? I believe this is merely a software issue, not a hardware issue with the touch screen. I have had this iPod touch since February 2013 and it has a 32 GB capacity.
    Thanks to everyone who answers
    p.s. Has a similar issue like this ever occurred to anyone?

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • I have a valid copy of Premiere Elements 11 that does not open past the Elements 11 Organizer Adobe Software License Agreement

    My copy of Premiere Elements 11 will not open. I'm on a PC with System 7. When I double-click on the PE11 desktop icon, the window opens that says Elements 11 Organizer Adobe Software License Agreement. I select English (North America) and "Accept". The window disappears but then reappears again and again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the disk and from the download. I have also tried a clean boot and have restarted numerous times. It accepts my Serial Number OK, but I can't seem to get beyond this step. Any help would be appreciated.

    Consider uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall with antivirus and firewalls disabled.
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    Significantly different from what you did already?
    Have you looked at the antivirus interference in this?
    Even after the uninstall/reinstall, you might explore deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if that does not work, then
    the whole 11 Folder in which it exists.
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and, in the 11.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 11.0
    Folder in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see
    the complete path cited.
    I have not seen that Organizer Adobe Software Licensing Agreement issue before and it does not quite fit in with the usual troubleshooting
    drill. But the above is worth the try to rule in or out.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thank you.
