IPod nano 3G goes into eternal loop with firmware 1.0.2 - fixed with 1.0.3?

After automatically upgrading to firmware 1.0.2, my iPod nano would enter an eternal loop (apple logo appears/disappears/appears/... until battery is empty) when ejecting from iTunes. The only way of resurrecting it was entering disk mode manually, then connecting & restoring original settings through iTunes. However, then the same problem was seen again when ejecting. I replaced the iPod twice, but both (brand new) devices showed exactly the same problem, right out of the box. I re-installed iTunes as well, no effect. Finally I asked (and got) my money back and returned the iPod. Has anyone else seen the same problem and does anyone know whether firmware update 1.0.3 has fixed the issue? I may then consider to buy another iPod...

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this with the last iPod I received, which already showed firmware 1.0.2 when connecting it to iTunes (i.e. without upgrading) and the described problem. I followed instructions for replacing the two files indicated with the 1.0.1 ones downloaded from the web, but iTunes still claimed to have firmware 1.0.2 on the iPod and the problems remained. Though Apple documentation claims that there is an option to set back the firmware to an earlier version, this option does not seem to exist in the Windows version, I only had the option to search for an upgrade or leave things as they are, so I was stuck with 1.0.2

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

    i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro.  when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop. 
    adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
    any advice?
    update:
    i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file.  it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
    the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
    the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to.  but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

    hey ankit,
    sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
    "1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
    yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
    "2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
    by this do you mean the correct permissions?  if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
    "3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
    i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent. 
    as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally).  HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • My new nano keeps going into sleep mode every copy of minutes while music is playing.  I can't figure out how to stop this.  The user guide isn't too helpful.  Any ideas?

    This is usually a sign that your iPod's headphones are not plugged in all the way.  Make sure that you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when inserting the headphones letting you know that they have been fully seated.

    Dear All,
                 I will explain the scenario further.
    Plant : PL1
    Vendor Location : VL1
    Subcontractor Location : SL1
    Component manufactured at VL1 : C1
    PPM maintained at VL1 for C1
    Component supplied by VL1 to PL1 : C1
    Manual Tlane created from VL1 to PL1 for C1
    Component, in turn, supplied by plant PL1  to  SL1: C1
    Manual Tlane created from PL1 to SL1 for C1
    Product Manufactured at Subcontract Location : SFG
    PPM maintained at SL1 for SFG
    Product supplied by SL1 to PL1 : SFG
    Creating a Purchase Inforecord with subcontracting type and CIFing to APO creates a Tlane for SFG from SL1--->PL1
    Procurement type at PL1 for SFG is "F"
    Procurement type at SL1 for SFG is "E"
    Procurement type at PL1 for C1 is "F"
    Procurement type at SL1 for C1 is "F"
    Procurement type at VL1 for C1 is "E"
    The Tlanes are in opposite direction and for different product.
    For C1, it is VL1 -> PL1 -> SL1
    For SFG, it is SL1 -> PL1
    Can this be the cause of the run going into the loop?
    Thanks in advance

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • OIM11gR2:Event handler goes into infinite loop

    Hi Experts,
    I have created an event handler where i am doing some functionality on execute function, that updates some UDF's when a user modifies value from the user modify form.
    I am calling the event hanlder on modify action of User entity
    Now the problem i am facing is that the eventhandler goes into infinte loop and modifies the values again and again without any break.
    Please help out, i am not able to kill the process unitill i restart the server :-(

    You can use something like below to get old values :
    HashMap<String, Serializable> interEvtDataMap = orchestration.getInterEventData();
              User newUserState = (oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.vo.User) interEvtDataMap.get("NEW_USER_STATE");
              User oldUserState = (oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.vo.User) interEvtDataMap.get("CURRENT_USER");
              newFirstName = (String)newUserState.getAttribute("First Name");
              oldFirstName = (String)oldUserState.getAttribute("First Name");     
    Thanks

    HP Logo and the log on page load OK but when I log on to my home page it goes into a loop.  The screen and icons keep flashing as if the screen keeps reloading.  I cant do anything to stop it.

    This post describes exactly the problem I'm having.  I can access "HELP" (obviously) and by using "ctrl-alt-delete" I can assess Task Manager and see systems and services. On Services, many are marked "stopped." CPU power is variable, from 33% to 98%.  I don't understand any of this.

    iPhoto disappeared suddenly !  I then re-installed it.  When I click on iPhoto it goes into an eternal loop.  I also founf out that iPhoto Library suddenly conatins 32000 photos with a size of 26.9 Gb ?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
