I plugged my ipod into my computer and it said that the device has malfunctioned what do i do?

i don't know what to do, i tried charging it and turning it on and off but it just wont work. Do i have to get it repaired or what? I've had it for less than 2 months.(It's the new little nano)

There seems to be a problem with Apple. See:

  • When I turn on the iPod, it says "iPod is disabled." I have never plugged this iPod into my computer and no longer have the computer I used before. Also the power button (Located at the top of the iPod) is broken. All I need to do is completely restore it

    I am not sure on what to do at this point. I have gotten rid of my old computer, I had used to sync my iPod, and to add to that.. The back button broke! I have tried everything from jailbreaking techniques, to just plugging it in to my new computer and trying to sync it. When I plug it in, and error message comes up on iTunes saying, "You cannot acces iTunes with this iPod, because it is locked with a passcode." My friends locked me out, changed the passcode, and nobody remembers it. Help would be greatly appriciated! My email is, [email protected] the other one is my old email and I am no longer in use of that so the best way to get back to me is by responding through email. Thank you for your time!

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Plugged my ipod into my computer and it stopped working...

    So, I plugged my ipod into my computer using the usb port to put a song on it, and I noticed that it didn't show up in my itunes and it didn't show under My Computer either. I looked at my ipod and the screen is just plain black, without the apple logo on it or anything. It won't do anything, and I can't even turn it off now. Help?

    Hello NinjaRawrr,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What happens if you try resetting the iPod with it still connected to your computer? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake buttons together until the Apple logo appears. If no luck the first time, don't be afraid to try more than once.
    Otherwise, it might be helpful to let it sit and charge for awhile and then come back later to see if you reset it again.

  • When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it just charges!!

    The "Devices" bit doesn't pop up in itunes so i can;t actually transfer any music onto it.
    Anyone have any ideas??
    I'm really fed up with it!!

    Make sure you have tried the iPod on a different USB port, if you have not done so. And are you using the latest iTunes package downloaded from Apple, instead of the old disc that came with the iPod? Get the latest iTunes software here.

    If it still does not work, try resetting the iPod using the two-button combo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If that does not work, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode first, then connect it to the computer.

  • If i plugged my ipod into my computer but unplugged it to fast and only 25 songs synced and i lost 100 of my songs, can i get those back somehow?

    If I plugged my ipod into my computer and unplugged it to fast and only 25 songs synced onto the computer, then is there any way to get my lost 100 songs back?

    Were these songs purchased from iTunes? If so,you can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    Hope this helps!

    I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

    This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen.  What iPod model do you have?
    When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
