Ipod Nano 2GB Can Not Reformat, Tried 5 R's, Explorer says Please insert dr

I'm not sure if my fiance' unplugged my ipod while it was updating a podcast or before it was done or not. It went into the showing the picture of the disk and the url for the ipod website. I have tried the 5 R's. I tried restoring, and it says it has been wiped clean, but that it needs to stay plugged in while restarting. I left it plugged in for around 13 hours and the message from the updated utility stayed the same. I have tried the various options, such as trying to rename through windows explorer or the admin options from the control panel but the disk is not readable and can not be formatted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have not installed any updates lately. I tried using the updater utility as I said,the "update" option was grayed out but the restore option was available, which I used. I also made sure all programs were closed out that could be accessing the Ipod. Thanks in advance.

dont worry. my ipod JUST did that afew minutes ago. it went dark and wasnt being recognized by itunes. its my third day with it so i was freaking out. but all i did was hold down the menu button and the center button at the same time for afew seconds and it snapped right out of it. it may not even work the first time so keep trying. once you see the apple logo youre okay. but if nothing shows up just take it back to an apple store[not where you bought it mostlikely] and they'll return it and get you another. hope it helps.

  • IPod Nano (2GB) is not starting yet all !!!!

    Hi,
    I used my iPod few months back. Now i want to update my iPod with new songs. Unfortunately i am not able to start the iPod.
    I connected iPod to my comp hoping that it needs battery
    charging. But my comp. is not able to detect iPod (because
    it went off). When i try to use my iPod i can see only APPLE
    logo and it just hung (not able to go to Menu section). I
    don't whether it is the problem with battery.
    Can you please help me in restarting my iPod Nano ?

  • Ipod nano 2GB will not turn on or anything was fine this morning

    I ejected my ipod today and the thing was on,fully charged from a night connected to the computer, i turned it off and then later tried to turn it on in my car and it would not turn on. i tryed to charge it, nothing, got it home and hooked up to the computer still nothing. What is going on? Could this just be the end of the battery or am I looking at a new ipod nano?

    Thank you, the ipod just needed to be restarted with the toggle technique. What a relief. I will tell my friends about this site, because if that happens to anyone else, I know how they feel.
    Thanks again

  • Ipod nano 2GB only allowing 44 songs then full

    I am trying to import songs from my CD collection and I only have 44 songs on my nano and it says the memory is full. Can someone please help me? There is nothing else on the ipod except songs, no contacts, no photos, nothing else. Please help!!!
    hp   Windows XP  

    As it happans I am a wizz on the keboard and can help.
    when apple say the iPod nano 2GB can fit what 500 songs?, they estimate this at ACC encoding 128 kbps, at 4 MB per song.
    If you have imported your music from CD then it is probally in the uncommpressed format of AIFF, which takes up 20 time more space!!!
    iTunes can convert the songs for you, you go to edit>preferences>advanced> here you can choose where you want your music to go after conversion now from here go to importing and , I would suggest using
    ACC format at 128 kbps (High Quality)
    now back in your library go to edit>select all ( select 1 of the songs first or this will not work) and then click advanced>convert selection to ACC now just let it chew through all of that (it might be an overnight job depending on the number of songs you have being converted).
    Now you should delete your ebtire library of the big AIFF files and under file add new folder, and add the folder that you converted your music too (by default this will be C:/documents and setting/my documents/my music
    then all of your new compressed songs will come on your library at the same quality as they were but 1/20th the size!!.
    if you need any extra help email me at [email protected]

  • Ipod Nano 2Gb Not Recognized

    Hi.
    Today I bought a Second Generation iPod nano 2gb. I've downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod via USB 2.0. All my usb ports are on and they don't turn off. When I plug in the iPod, it charges, but does not show up in iTunes or under My Computer. When I plug it in, my computer prompts me to the New Hardware Installing Wizard. It is always of no help to me so I just cancel it. Under my computer, the Ipod does not show. It also does not show in iTunes. I have done the 4 R's 3 times now. I am sure I've searched everything to make my iPod work. I've looked at all the help topics on this page and I've done everything advised and it still does not show up. PLEASE HELP!
    - Bill

  • I have a 4 GB Ipod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again.  I leet the anti-virus on my old PC with the iTunes lapse and I think I managed to attract a virus.  If I plug my iPod Nano into this old PC, can it also become infested with a virus?

    I have a 4GB iPod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again.  I let the anti-virus softwarer lapse on my old PC, the one with my iTunes library on it.  Can my iTunes library become affected with this virus? 
    I have tried to fully charge the iPod but the message screen only displays ""Use iTunes to restore"
    Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

    Hello Mike,
    No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus.  As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

  • My Ipod nano touch is not charging, not showing in my PC or laptop. Last I saw an apple icon and low battery signal. There after the screen is black and no power not taking AC or PC charge. What Can I do?

    My Ipod nano touch is not charging, not showing in my PC or laptop. Last I saw an apple icon and low battery signal. There after the screen is black and no power not taking AC or PC charge. What Can I do?

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

    You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited.  See this article for more details.

  • Hardware problem Ipod Nano 2gb

    Recently I've bought Ipod Nano 2gb in the US. Now I'm installing it. When i connect the ipod at the pc, i-tunes recognize it. When I disconnect the ipod, the ipod doesn't react. It shows the screen for choosing the language but none of the buttons react to change something. The hold button is off.
    I've already reset the ipod, without results. The Ipod shows that there are songs on it, and you can play the songs that are downloaded on it.
    The PC recognizes the ipod as a medium.
    Does anyone has a resolution to this problem ?

    Just to make sure...when you say turn...you don't mean physically turn do you? Even though you stated the hold button is off, toggle the button a few times to see if that helps. If you have tried going through all of the 5 R's and the click wheel still will not allow you to make any movement through screens, then you may want to contact Apple for a warranty replacement. Few more questions...does the back light turn on when you touch the click wheel? Do you hear any clicks when you run your finger around the click wheel? I know you said that doing this doesn't allow you to navigate through the screens but I'm curious if it reacts in any way.

  • Help: iPod nano 7th gen not syncing with iTunes or Windows XP.

    Please help !
    When we connected and followed the steps the first time, it worked perfect. But after we uploaded some CDs and tried to reconnect the PC does not see the iPod nano at all. not even on Device manager.

    Hey VandanaR,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are unable to sync your iPod because it is not connecting to iTunes. If you are experiencing this issue on a Windows computer, you can follow the applicable article from this resource:
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"

  • Ipod Nano 2gb charges very slowly

    HI...
    My Ipod Nano 2gb needs about 24 hours to charge...
    My is not covered for service anymore but maybe there is a solution without sending it to apple...
    Please help me
    marggi

    After the 24 hours does it have a full charge, or just a partial charge? If it is a partial charge or considerably less then the original charge you might want to consider getting a new battery. You can send it out to get a new battery or replace it yourself with a high capacity replacement. You can go on ebay or the web and search for a high capacity battery for your nano. It will come with the tools required to take it apart and instructions for take apart. It is not a very hard job to do and if you have any mech skill it will be a quick and cheap fix.

  • How to get my photos from my Ipod nano 2gb (colourscreen) to my TV

    I've got an iPod(2Gb) with colour display. And I've got the AV connection Kit. The music is no problem, but I just can't seem to find a way to show my photo's on the tv.
    I read somewhere on this forum that I should click on "TV on" in the slideshow menu. But there is NO "TV On" in this feature. Under "transitions" there is nothing! I read that there sould be the TV On option!???
    CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
    At the Apple store they said that it should be possible to connect the iPod nano 2Gb to the TV!

    Astrid31,
    Unfortunately for you, the iPod nano does not support TV output through either the headphone port or through a dock. The only iPods that facilitate TV output are the iPod with color display and the iPod with video (5th generation)

  • New ipod nano 2nd gen. not loading onto windows or itunes

    I just got an ipod nano 2gb 2nd gen. (refurbished from apple). I updated my former version of itunes (my daughter has a 1st gen. nano, so she's been using itunes with her's with no problems..) to the latest version like the quick start guide says. Plugged in the ipod to the usb port on the back of the computer and the setup wizard pops up, asking to install the software for the device. I try letting it auto search, which it finds nothing, and I get a message saying "your new hardware may not work properly.....". I checked the device manager and the ipod is listed under "other devices" with a question mark by it. I checked to make sure my daughters 1st gen. nano works with the updated itunes and it does with no problems. Now what?
    Ipod Nano 2gb 2nd gen.   Windows XP  
    Dell Dimension 4600   Windows XP  

    I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.
