IPod Nano 3rd gen screen frozen

Hello, last night while listening to my music before I fell asleep my iPod froze the screen will not do anything, nor will it restart. Whenever I connect to my computer it slows to a halt. i went downstairs and I tried my laptop, nothing changed either, the window just won't respond. When I unplug it from iTunes is when it appears on screen, but since there is no device it goes away. It also says "The iPod may be corrupter. Please restore or disconnect, and reconnect your iPod again". So I ask you, Apple community what should I do?

Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  You may need to attempt this more than once.
Any luck there?

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    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.

  • My Ipod Nano (6th Gen) screen is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. i got this thing this morning and i really regret it!! HELP!!

    HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
    My brand-new IPod Nano (6th gen) is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. This happened right after ITunes said it was in recovery mode. The ipod said "do not disconnect" before and, Like an idiot i disconnected it, now it says "ok to disconnect". it has been like that for over an hour. I think it's a bit of a lost cause. im about ready to hammer this thing. Can anyone help???????

    Go to your Main Menu, then Setting and then Reset Settings. That helped me once with another issue.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

    ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp.   Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

    Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • Driver for Ipod Nano 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Just brought Ipod nano 3rd gen and plugged it into PC. It is not able to install properly - computer says it can't find driver. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    I am having the same issue here.
    OS: Vista ultimate 64-bit
    iTunes: 7.6.0.29 (64-bit)
    iPod: Nano 8gb 3rd gen
    I currently have a 60gb iPod Photo that works flawlessly. I bought the Nano tonight, brought it home, and charged it up. Plugged it in, and now Windows Vista is asking for drivers for the Nano. Doesn't recognize the Nano at all.
    The Nano knows it's plugged in, and is giving me the "eject before disconnecting" screen. However, Vista wants drivers, and iTunes doesn't recognize the Nano is connected whatsoever.
    Can someone please shed some light on this for us? Thanks.
    [edit] Yes, I have reset the Nano. Yes, I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and re-installed iTunes. Yes, I also tried putting the Nano into Disk Mode manually and connecting it to the system, but the system still wants drivers....
    [edit2]And yes, I'm using the administrator account on the system, too.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Gen won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

    Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
    According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
    Any idea as to why this is happening?
    Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
    I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

    Greetings WonderfulT1,
    If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • My ipod nano 3rd gen gets error code -9459 when I try to convert a video in Itunes

    I'm tring to convert video from Youtube to play on my ipod nano 3rd gen.  When i go to itunes and Advanced and set it to convert for ipod it goes on for quite a while then about 3/4 way done I get error message Erroe occurred converting file "teapot 1". An unknown error (-9459)
    What do I do?  I tried Real player converter too - no luck.

    I'm not sure about the error message, but it might just be easier to use an application such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to create an iPod compatible version of the video.

  • Ipod nano 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes or windows 7

    USB device not recognized.  
    things I have done
    put Ipod in disk mode still didn't recognized
    My Ipod Classic 6th Gen works fine
    It shows 3 Mass Storage Device
    when I plug in Ipod nano 3rd gen it shows unknow device
    have deleted Mass storage devices and Apple Moble Devices
    unpluged computer from wall
    nothing solving problem
    I also tried it on my laptop its not being recognized
    my wife Ipod nano is doing the same thing as mine
    its got to be the software download from itunes because it has worked on all previous versions.

    I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
    I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
    Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
    I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
    One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

  • IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

    I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
    Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
    I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
    Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
    Thanks,

    Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

  • My PC Shuts Down When I Plug In My New IPod Nano 3rd Gen.

    The title of this post pretty much says it all. Got me my new iPod Nano 3rd gen. yesterday. Brought it home, booted up the puter, loaded iTunes and plugged that sucker in. Well first iTunes kindly instructed me that I would have to download it's newest software, which I did.
    Then soon afterwards when I thought i was set, I plugged in my new 3rd gen iPod Nano to the pc and as soon as I did that my pc shut down completely, and restarted. Shut down is putting it mildly, I mean it just went 'kablink" and then was restarting.
    I tried uninstalling iTunes, cleaning my temp folder, my internet cache, then reinstalling iTunes anew, still nada. All to no avail, people, because each and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, no sooner than i do this my pc summarily goes "kablink" on me and starts booting up again.
    NOW I STILL have my iPod Nano 2nd gen, and it works fine, even with the newest iTunes software, it doesn't screw up my pc like the new 3rd gen iPod Nano does.
    Now I am to conclude that the problem lies in the 3rd gen iPod itself. How could it not? My iPod Nano 2nd gen works absolutely fine, and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, I shut down in a flash withtout fail. Anyone of you have this error? I would love to know short of calling iTunes tech support about what to do about this, this is a MAJOR bummer for sure. Now I have to be concerened about whether or not I am ever going to get this thing to work now.
    Is the iPod broken? If not why the shutdowns then? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

  • I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and wont turn on (1604 error)

    I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and will not turn on. I try restoring factory settings but the process terminates with a 1604 error. I have researched this problem on the net and think i have tried everything, but still no joy. I have tried removing all apple and itunes software and reinstalling, updating the apple drivers - nothing has worked. I am using itunes 10.3 on my pc, windows xp.
    If anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful - I am off on holiday on thursday and would love to have my ipod with me!
    Many thanks in advance.
    Craig.

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen (click wheel)

    I currently have a ipod nano 3rd gen with a click wheel. I have uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and rebooted my computer already (I have windows XP). It shows up in "My Computer" as unknown but itunes will not reconize the ipod is connected, but does with my other ipod. I've tried changing the drive letter on this 3rd gen; but it wont appear to even change the drive letter. I believe I need to download the drivers (its what i had to do with my previous ipod) but I would like a clue where to download the drivers from, or someone to shed any light and a solution for this issue. My ulitmate goal is to get itunes to reconize it so that I can restore the ipod
    Thanks.

    Clickwheel games are no longer available in the iTunes store.  Sorry.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Gen Issues: would be grateful for any help

    Dear all,
    I recently purchased an iPod Nano 3rd Gen for my wife. I have been using a mac for 7 years, still have my first iPod 5GB scroll wheel as well as a 60 GB iPod video 5.5 Gen.
    Here's what's happening.
    iPod Nano connected via dock (which is in a USB hub...could that cause problems?)
    Connect, sync, no worries.
    Update iPod Nano software to 1.0.2.
    iPod then, halfway through syncing, flashes the Apple Logo every 6-7 secs and then does the same again.
    It is not recognised in iTunes like that.
    Any help?
    A hopeful Dan

    Hi,
    Same thing just happened to me - I have put the Nano 3G into disk mode (hold Menu and Select for 10 seconds then immediately hold Play/Pause and Select).
    Just doing a factory restore now, that should bring it back to a brand new state and will try again from there.
