Ipod nano 5 resets but won't sync with itunes on two different pc's

ipod nano 5 resets but won't sync with itunes on two different pc's

What happens when you try? Does the iPod even appear in iTunes? Have you tried a different cable or different USB ports on each PC?
Need a little more information.

IPOD NANO KEEPS RESETING ITSELF

Every time i unplug my ipod nano from my computer it resets it self and all the music i've just added isn't there anymore. What could the problem be?

If its been sitting for awhile, its showing the apple logo because it's waking up from Deep Sleep mode. Deep Sleep kicks in when you let your iPod sit for about 36 hours. If it is only when you let in sit for long periods of time, don't worry about it, it's normal. It had nothing to do with your cousins.

IPod Nano Freezes / Resets / Skips

My new 3rd Gen iPod Nano randomly freezes on certain videos (in the same spot EVERY time), resets in the middle of certain videos (again in the same spot EVERY time), and even skips (i mean entirely to the next song, not just a stutter) when I listen to certain songs, and of course, it's in the exact same spot every time.
Not to mention some of my Album artwork will display incorrectly, but if I skip to the next song and come back, it displays the correct artwork. But if I go back to the previous song and forward again, the album artwork is...you guessed it, displayed incorrectly or not at all.
I've tested every one of these songs on iTunes so far, and they work fine. I've tested the videos, they're good too. I tried them on my brother's 5.5g iPod video, and they still work great.
I restored my Nano and it didn't help either.
Are these all just bugs in the brand new iPod OS? Or do I need to wait another week for my iPod to ship out and one more week to have a new one shipped back?
This is a bummer. I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with problems, because I have my iPod engraved. I don't enjoy the extra downtime in requesting a new product
Anyways, any answers appreciated.

I think it is more likely a 1.0 firmware issue as other Nano 3G and Classic owners are having similar issues (Myself included). I have noted that I get song skips in the same places in certain songs and also a number of MP3's indicate that they are playing but the counter does not move nor do they actually play (They just sit at 0.00 with the play indicator showing). Very annoying when I have it docked on my speakers on random play as I have to keep going over to it and skipping to the next track.
The strange thing is that the MP3's this occur on are often in clusters from the same ripped CD's but it is never all tracks off the CD only a selection of them...
Ah well, hopefull as Apple normally do they will issue a series of fixes over the coming weeks and eventually provide a solid platform. Other than these minor quibbles I think the iPod has moved forward in a positive way but I wish the iTunes developers would get together with iPod and Apple TV developers to ensure they all have the same sorting and display of Tracks (Podcasts, TV Shows etc). For example, TV Shows on iTunes use the "Show Name" field for grouping yet Apple TV uses the "Artist" field ... WHY???? But I digress, sorry!

Ipod Nano frozen - reset not working!

I plugged my Ipod Nano 3rd Gen into my laptop to put music on. It wasn't connecting and then my itunes froze. I closed itunes and unplugged my ipod. It's now frozen too. The backing light is on and it has the last song I played up. I have tried to switch it off, also tried the reset instructions on the itunes website but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions?!?!

Same thing happened to my Nano. I bought a reburbished Nano from Apple, a couple months later it died, and felt very hot. I sent it to Apple and they said liquid had spilled on it and was "abused." Since that did NOT happen, I assume Apple sold me a defective refurb (in other words, didn't actually refurbish the item as claimed) or flat out lied so they didn't have to fix my defective Apple product.
Either way, it gives new meaning to "eating an apple." In this case, I'm eating a $100 apple. Lesson learned. Do not buy Apple reburbs. (Darn, I love those deals!)

Ipod nano 7 resets while using nike after updating to 1.0.3 PC

I've just updated my Ipod nano 7 to version 1.0.3 PC. After this it has been blocked twice when i was using Nike + app without nike + sport kit , and more the 30 minutes of exercise.
First time i had to force a reboot by pressing both buttons, second time it rebooted itself, but the record of the training was not recorded.
Problems start just after updating, i've never had such problem with this device. i've used in more then 100 runs.
I've just restored to factory, but still version 1.0.3. Can you give me some advice? can i downgrade this device toa previous version.
Thank you in advance.

One way to replace the glass is by doing it yourself. Here is a link on how to do it. Replacement screens should not be that expensive in the first place. If you would like Apple to replace it and you Do Not have a warranty then use this link to find out repair pricing and other information. If this helped you please leave a good review. Thanks

Ipod Nano constantly resets

Hi Ive had an 8gb Nano one day, I have loaded about 3gb of mp3 onto it now, however the nano now turns itself on and off constantly (approx 10 seconds) can anyone give me any advice ?????

Ipod nano starts with a self-test after sleep

My new Ipod nano runs a kind of self-test if it was at sleep for a couple of hours.
Does this have to be? If not how can I determine specifically what is wrong? Thanks

Gert,
When iPods are not used for a period of 24 hours of more then they go into something called "Sleep Mode" or "Deep Sleep".
You'll see the Apple logo when you try to turn your Nano back on which is normal, you are "waking up" the iPod.
I've never heard or seen of such self-test, is it still on self-test? Or you want suggestions on how to get out of that?

My 7th Generation iPod Nano seems to hang and become unresponsive quite often...any ideas?

I've tried turning off and on...even tried reloading to factory settings....sometimes tapping the icons results in that jiggling behaviour. Really frustrating to wait on it so often. Any suggestions?

Hello there Mescalero,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the iPod Nano is acting strangley.
You have done some great troubleshooting already. One thing I do not see as having been done, is resetting the iPod. Try this out, and see if it resolves the issue.
Reset iPod nano
To reset iPod nano try Step #1 or Step #2:
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
2. From the Home screen on the device, tap Settings then:
Tap Reset Settings.
Tap Reset, or tap Cancel if you change your mind.
Tap your language, then tap Done.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.From: iPod nano not appearing in iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/#section_4

My ex-wife washed my daughter's ipod in the washing machine. I can't get it to do much of anything. when i plug it in to my computer the apple comes up, which gave me hope. then the icon with the exclamation mark comes up and then it shuts off. i am trying to charge it, but it shows to be dead.... any ideas?

eject before disconnecting
Always drag the iPod icon on the Desktop to the Recyle Bin before removing the iPod from the computer, or in iTunes menu bar click Controls / Eject (name of iPod)

IPod Nano Help! Stops song then resets by its self.

I have a iPod nano 4G (1st Genaration) and when i go to shuffle my songs, a song starts to play. But then when I skip to the next song, It doesn't play it and then it resets by its self. Any help would be great.

It may not solve the problem, but just turn shuffle off when you're listening to your music so that you can hear it, at least.

Is there a way to "reset" the games "played count" on the 5th Gen iPod Nano

I was just looking through my new iPod Nano (16 GB), and happened to select
all three games (Klondike, Maze and Vortex), but never played them, just looked and then
quit out of each game. Now I have a "game played" count on all three games.
I'm not sure if I may hang onto this iPod Nano or possibly look into an iTouch.
If I sell this new one on eBay, I would like to know how to reset the "game counts"
back to 0 or the original "default" of no game counts showing.
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, why would Apple even need to show a "game played count" on any of
the iPod Nano games ... very weird.

I think the only way you can reset play counts on games is if you do a full restore of the ipod. But, then again, if you plan on selling it on ebay, it'd be probably be best if you do the restore, that way it'd be like opening a brand new ipod for the new owner.
As for why Apple would want to keep track of game counts...I have no idea.
