IPod 4GB nano rebooting continually under 2006-06-28

After I updated my 4GB iPod Nano to 2006-06-28 it rebooted, showed the apple logo, lit the screen, then reboots again. I cannot turn it off and I cannot get it recognized by the 2006-01-10 updater or iTunes. Do I have any options?
She's still under warranty, thank goodness.

I do not understand why my 4GB nano stats that there is only 781MB available when I no music or pictures loaded??? How do I fix this?

Restore the iPod. That should get you the 3.7GBs of usable space back.

Hello Norman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.

Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

IPod nano reboot on bad track?

I have a reproducible problem with a particular AAC track synced on to my nano. After a couple of seconds of music playing, the nano reboots. The track plays fine in iTunes 6.02 on my Mac, where it was also ripped/encoded. I don't know what might be "bad" about the track other than the fact that the nano apparently dislikes it.
Kind of impressed that a data stream can apparently take down the device ; not very good coding there, boys.
I've got the 1.1 firmware on the nano.
Is there anywhere official that bugs can be reported on the iPod, I could make the track as I have it available for testing purposes.

Double check in the user manual:

2nd Generation iPod (20GB) won't mount under 10.3.9 OR WinXP SP2

Just got a "new" replacement 20GB Touch Wheel iPod under Apple's Battery replacement program. The unit seems fine and operates normally when disconnected from computer. However, none of my computers (and I have 3) will mount the iPod or see the iPod in iTunes.
I am running the latest iTunes 6.0.3(6) under 10.3.9 on the Macs (G4 powerbook 1.5Ghz) and iMac G5 1.8Ghz. Running WinXP SP2 and iTunes 6.0.3.5 on the Windows box.
NOTE: I struggled with this for a few days at home and decided to take the unit to the local Apple Store (Somerset Mall). The Genius there connected to a store PowerBook (probably running Tiger) and the unit mounted just fine. He restored the iPod and it appears to work fine under Tiger.
What's up with this????
P.S.: I have a 4GB Nano as well, and this works just fine!
PowerBook G4/1.5, iMac G5 1.8, WinXP SP2 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 10.3.9 on Macs, WinXP SP2 on Windows

I also tried to connect to an older PC (Win2K Pro) with iTunes 4.5.0.31. Same thing happens: iPod shows Apple Logo, then "OK to disconnect" message.

4GB nano repeatedly killing Monster iCar, Griffin, now iFusion?

I bought a 4GB iPod nano in september with the Monster iCar am/fm stereo adapter off the apple website. I set everything up per the instructions and it worked fairly nice for roughly 3 weeks and then one day the iCar adapter stopped transmitting anything, the ipod continued to recieve a charge through it and the stereo went from static to silence when the ipod was plugged in, just no music, no matter any volume.. ok, return - replace. Also, tested friends iPod with it and got same behavior - he has had his own monster iCar for an ipod mini going on over a year now no problem.
While waiting for the Monster iCar stereo adapter to be replaced I ended up picking myself up a Griffin stereo adapter which I liked better with the telescoping arm.. again, 3-4 weeks of flawless playback and then suddenly one day exact same behavior - silence, no sound no matter volume. replaced the griffen easily at target and the new one worked.. now the second one stopped working one day. worked the next day and then hasnt worked since. its dead all over again.
At this point I'm beginning to believe I have extremely bad luck with my car stereo adapters. However, for Xmas I also recieved an iFusion portable speaker system to use while im at work. in the past several days it has become flakey, sometimes it will not work once the nano is plugged in and I have to wait awhile before trying again and its fine.
I've reset my ipod nano a few times during all this, yes i'm positive i've checked my volume settings, i've tried other ipods with the same devices and once the device is dead, its dead for everyone. I cannot see any damage to the connectors. in every case, the ipod continues to recieve a charge from the device, just no music. with the stereo transmitters(griffin/monster), the device is clearly transmitting since turning it on results in static to nothing and yes, i've tried changing the stations it transmits on.
has anyone else seen this? are all these accessory devices for ipod truly flakey? is the nano really killing things? perhaps a voltage problem? I realize the Griffin did not specify it was compatible with the Nano explicitly but the Monster was sold on Apples website as a nano accessory and the iFusion advertises compatibility... but still, any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I got A 4GB nano for x-mas and bought a monster icar for it and it worked for one week. After that it does the same exact thing you are going through.If you find out anything please let me know. I also went and swapped mine out for a new one and it has never worked so I am screwed.Please HELP!!!!!

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, ipod is not rebooting. Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

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 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.

HP Photosmart 5510 reboots continually

Hi
My HP Photosmart 5510 started rebooting all of a sudden.
Imediatelt its connected to the power source, it powers itself on without pressing the power button but continues rebooting continually.
This happens whether its connected to the printer or not.
When I try switching on its Wireless network, it stops rebooting but the blue wireless indicator blinks continually.
Indicating that its on but not sensing any signal (Even when wireless server is on).
I have downloaded the firmware to do an update.
Can a Hard reset solve this problem OR is there another solution for this.
I have checked and veryfied that the units power system is healthy and working fine.
So if am scaling the wrong tree, pliz redirect me, OTHERWISE, Let me know if the hard reset would serve the purporse and send me the Reset Instructionz.
Will be greatful.
Thanx

Hi EddyVic,
I would like to help you with the issue you are experiencing. I understand the Photosmart continuously reboots itself and you have already tested the power and checked the for firmware updates. A hard reset could fix it, to do a hard reset you can leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. If the issue persists after you plug it back in you can do a different type of reset.
I will send you a PM (Private Message) with instructions to perform a reset, but before we begin, please review the HP Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way information about you and your online activity is collected and how that information is used. This statement is readily available on our HP.com home page and at the bottom of every HP web page.
There are an increasing number of posts in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a resets on different printers. The reset itself will sometimes fix problems, so the reset is not the issue.
Some resets require you to enter button combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were never meant to access. These special menus are used by the developers and support personnel for debugging issues, but they are not meant for untrained users and can have unintended results. One wrong button push and you no could no longer have a printer, but instead a pricey paper weight. To top it off, if you do happen to "brick" the printer this way, it is considered customer induced damage, and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only meant to be given out and used as a last resort, and under direct instruction of a HP tech support representative. They should not be done lightly!

Skipping songs and only letting me put 300 songs onto my 4GB nano

On my 2nd generation nano ipod, it will play a couple songs and then skip a lot. Certain songs will skip and certain songs will play. any suggestions?
My other problem is it will only let me hold about 300 songs on my 4GB nano. Right now i have 326 songs and it says " 2.12 GB required, 47.58 MB remaining" I'v had his ipod for about 2 years.

While I think the first may be related to the second, I will pass on it.
The song count can vary widely depending on the format and quality of encoding. What are your songs encoded as, and what bitrate/quality are you using?
Are all your songs encoded the same? Easy way to check that is to enable the "kind" column (right click on the column headings) in your main iTunes display then sort by that column. Quality/bitrate can be seen using the "bit rate" one.

Song Capacity for 4gb Nano

I am currently thinking of purchasing the 4gb Nano. It states a 1000 song capacity, does anyone know, if you do not use it for photos, will it store more songs?

Try not to think in terms of song quantity. It's merely an estimate.
There is no limit on the number of songs it can hold. You are limited by the available space on the iPod Nano. Apple estimates the 1000 song capacity based on all of your tracks being 128kbps AAC files of about 4 minutes each.
If your tracks are encoded at a lower bitrate, or are typically shorter than 4 minutes each... then you'll fit more songs.
If they are encoded at a higher bitrate, and are typically longer than 4 minutes each... you'll fit less songs.
Photos and music share the same available space on the iPod. If you don't use photos, you'll have more space for songs. If you do use photos, you'll have less space for songs.

Resetting The Volume Limit On A 4GB Nano

The iPod history in my family goes like this: when my daughter was 12, I bought her a Shuffle for Christmas. She loved it, used it often and I saw her with it more than twice over that year, which to that point was a miracle for ANYthing I bought her for Christmas, birthday, etc...
So, the next year, I bought her this 4GB Nano for Christmas. As a side deal, I gave her $20 for her Shuffle and I became a subscriber to the iPod culture.
Last week, I won an iPod Touch, and looked at this prize not as mine but as my stepping stone to my Nano, planning to give the Touch to my now-14-year-old daughter.
This transaction happened and yesterday as I downloaded my tunes into my new Nano, I noticed that there is a volume lock. Being a fan of The Who (the band which I believe still holds the record for loudest rock concert), I had to reset that to the highest level possible. When doing so, I found there is a lock code, a four-digit security setting. Great, I thought . . .
So I asked my daughter for the combination and she said that that was something she had been trying for a long time to remember. She then said it is the combination to her seventh-grade locker. I asked what that is and she said she couldn't remember. I got a little miffed and complained to her about the bad deal I was getting in this (you know, this is the acting job part of parenting where the kid is supposed to learn).
Anyway, the big question is, is there a way to re-set that combination without knowing the combination? Thank you for any insight; you are my only hope!

To reset the combo, you will need to select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
This will format the iPod and reinstall the iPod OS.
Then just sync the music back to it.

Ask Pete Townshend about that but you better speak *L O U D L Y* because he's pretty much deaf from that.

4gb nano will only accept 285 songs

My daughter was helping me set up and download songs from my itunes library on my computer to my new 4gb nano. The screen says 285 songs from my computer are over 5 gigs. What's the scoop? New nano and just downloaded software. Should hold up to 1,000 +/-. Is there a way to scroll through the library to check the file size on each song? How do I solve this problem?
thank you, new iPod user

it also depends what format you copy the songs into iTunes. If they're copied in Lossless format(specifically Apple Lossless) they take up like 15 to 35Mb per song!!. I had same problem with same iPod Nano 4G and tht was the problem. the best format is MPeg audio files.

4GB Nano, cannot get 1000 songs

I have a 4gb nano, currently 73 songs are taking up 1.81GB of memory. Most of my songs are imported through iTunes from my personal CD's. What am I doing wrong?

Your songs might not be in a correct format, taking up more space on your iPod than usual.
See this for details:
My song files are too big for my small iPod
If everything seem to be appering okay with how the file format and encoding is, etc., then try restoring your iPod.
