Ipod nano 4gb trouble i need help badly

hi im tom,
i loaded my ipod nano 4gb on my puter and i wanted this song off my mate. he has a mac so i coneced it and i started loading his sond off itunes and im like ok the it said my ipod crashed. so i went home and pluged it into my puter and i went into itunes and i looked where your i pod pops up but it wasnt there. so i went into my computer and cliked on it then my puter half froze cause i cliked on it.
wat should i do? ring the suport people?

Hi Tom. First, since you use a PC and your mate uses a MAC your ipod was either going to have to be formatted for use on a MAC or for the PC. Unless I am mistaken you can't switch back and forth without reformatting. I guess since someone else will likely point this out, you also were trying to do something considered illegal file sharing by taking music from your mate for your own use.

Take a look at the above link to see if that helps any. Pay attention to the reformatting part as that may be what you need to do.

  • IPod Nano Headphone Port Glitch, Need Help!

    I have an iPod nano 5th gen that was given to me on christmas, 2009. It worked fine for a year, but when I finally used headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    The glitches are like this, I'll be listening to a song, and if I make any sudden movements that wiggle the headphone jack in the port, it will fast forward/skip/pause the song, I run so this is really annoying, I have cleaned my ipod, carefully cleaned the inside of the port, and made sure my headphone jacks are clean. I tracked it down to a side-to-side motion of the jack in the port, so it would seem that the male connector is short-circuiting the female part. I have contemplated taking apart my iPod, but that is my last resort. I have been waiting for a chance to go to an Apple store, and ask a genius about it, but since my computer isn't a 2 hour drive away I decided to ask here first.
    If you have any suggestions or answers please give them, I don't wan to buy any earbuds (which I need) until I can be sure they won't glitch my iPod. Also if you know how to take apart an iPod so I could check for dust or some sort of grit in the system that would be great as well.

    headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    Contact the 3rd party vendor since it's their product.
    I don't wan to buy any earbuds (which I need) until I can be sure they won't glitch my iPod.
    Then use the earplugs that came with your iPod Nano.

  • IMac trouble login - need help badly

    I need real big help here. My wife iMac decided to act up this morning, out of no reason. She didn't download and anything from website or new apps. This is what happening now.
    As usual, we type in the password and click login. It started as normal and show the desktop but almost immediately (2 seconds), it goes back to the same login password screen. We type the password again and again and it does the samething. We restart same thing. We shut down and let it sit and start again, same thing.
    Now, we have so many important files and memories in this machine!!! Can anyone advise how we can get it started again normally without reinstallation?
    MANY THANKS.

    If you have the install disc, boot from it and use
    Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then reboot from your internal drive and repair permissions.

  • ITunes/iPod nano & chinese song names [please help]

    i own an iPod nano 4gb.
    first question is is there a setting i can choose (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the default? anyone that has chinese songs with chinese characters will notice that the font as compared to english text is relatively lighter (not as bold). hence, it is harder to read.
    second question concerns chinese music. all my songs are chinese and the song names, artist names, album names etc are in chinese characters. those files that appear with chinese characters by default on Windows appear fine on the iPod nano as well. however, most of my songs require a program called NJStar Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese characters - those that have chinese music should know what i'm talking about. without NJStar, the names just appear as random symbols in Windows. the problem is, all of the songs that require NJStar appear on the iPod nano as symbols despite the fact that they appear as chinese characters on iTunes when NJStar is turned ON. when NJStar is turned OFF, the names are just displayed as symbols on iTunes. irregardless of whether i update my iPod nano when NJStar is on or off, the names remain as symbols on the iPod nano and i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can fix this or perhaps it's just tough cookies XD
    any information is much appreciated,
    many thanks.

    first question is is there a setting i can choose
    (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make
    the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the

    No.
    however, most
    of my songs require a program called NJStar
    Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese
    characters -
    I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

  • IPOD nano 4GB Sleeps and wakens on its own

    I have a nuciance problems hopefully someone can educate me on how to fix.
    I have 60+ hours of audiobooks on my Ipod Nano 4GB which I listen to non-stop in my car using an iTrip connector.
    The Ipod goes to sleep:
    1. every 18-20 minutes of use
    2. it always has 0.12 or 0.13 on the time left at the lower right of the window everytime
    3. it stay asleep 40-50 seconds every time
    4. it picks up exactly where it went to sleep!
    During this sleep period the Ipod beeps when I try to use the keys but nothing happens and nothing changes when it awakens. I have found the best solution is to do nothing and let it awake on its own.
    Any suggestions anyone? Thanks from a new user....

    That's a new one (if you like to be the first at things, then congrats!). Uh, let's see.
    1. After hitting play, turn the Hold switch on. Does that fix it?
    Also, try Restoring the iPod.

  • Ipod nano 4gb and car audio

    Hi everyone, I've got an iPod Nano 4gb and am a little confused as to what is required to connect this device to my factory installed cd player. I drive a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab and have the basic factory audio system. I spoke with the dealership where I purchased the truck and they said that I need an interface and harness for $400 + labor. I don't think that is an option for me -- way too expensive.
    What exactly is need to connect my iPod Nano to my truck's audio system? Do I need to purchase a new audio device that supports the iPod?
    Thanks

    The following website will list different types of car audio devices made for iPods. I hope it lists something that may help you.

  • ITunes 6.0.1.3 not syncing Outlook Contacts or Calendar with ipod Nano 4GB

    I have Outlook 2003 installed and setup with a Microsoft Exchange Server. I have about 200 contacts currently stored in it.
    I recently purchased a ipod nano 4gb with hopes of syncing my contacts and calendar with that and being able to throw away my old Palm. The ipod nano works great for syncing music but I can't get it to sync either the calendar or contacts from outlook.
    I check the box for syncing contacts and choose Microsoft Outlook from the drop down. Then iTunes only gives me the option of syncing all contacts (which is fine with me) and I click Okay. Then I choose update from the ipod nano right click menu. The status bar says updating contacts but does not import any of my contact to my ipod. Also, except for the 1st time, the Permission Window asking for access to Outlook has not popped up again. When it did that first time, I was told that there was an error and itunes could not copy contacts over. Since then there have been no errors from iTunes.
    I have tried all the steps in the apple online help docs (unchecking boxes, restarting, re-checking, etc..) but can't find a solution. I don't want to have to manually Save As each calendar item and contact. Frankly, I'd rather just return the device.
    Can anyone help me?
    thanks in advance.

    Possible. It is just odd that the day before the update to 9.x.x (I forgot the release), it worked great. Following that upgrade, the sync died. I could reinstall the old release (per instructions from Apple Tech Support) and it would sync. However, not upgrading your iTunes means not upgrading your OS...and that is not an option. However, I think I will have XP reistalled on my machine...and then put a fresh install on iTunes...and see what happens.

  • Ipod nano 4GB stutters ...

    I've just got my personalized ipod Nano 4GB and it seems not to work properly.
    The sound/music "stutters" in a random manner, especially when I am listening BBC podcasts.
    It is something with the ipod and not related to the source file since rewinding and playing the same file again does not reproduce the stutter on the exact same place of the “track" , but if it continues playing, the stutter will occurs randomly in another place/time of the playing podcast or music file.
    I've tried everything: from resetting the ipod, factory reset, last firmware update, etc but it still behaving in the same away.
    Could someone please give me a feedback and confirm if this is a common problem with ipods?
    (I've sent a msg to Apple, they told me to contact customer services/support - I did - but nothing... -- should I send it back and try to find an alternative to ipod?)
    Before I forget it is just 3 or 4 days old .
    Thank you all.
    ipod nano 4GB    

    Deluded, I am able to recreate the stuttering problem on my 2GB Nano, also purchased just a few days ago (Monday, July 31, to be exact - I have also updated it with the latest iPod Updater). I downloaded the latest BBC "Wake Up to Money" podcast (August 4) and heard it stutter a couple times within the first 5 minutes; I played it again and it stuttered again, but not in the same places it had before. I also noticed random little "ticks" throughout the playback.
    I did some testing with the LAME 3.96.1 MP3 encoder, and heard very similar "ticks" on a music track encoded to 56 kb mono @ 44.1 kHz sampling rate, the same parameters as the BBC podcast. However, I never heard it stutter, although this may be due to the much shorter length of the music track (4:24) as opposed to the podcast (23:51) (note that the length in and of itself is not a problem - I've already played a single 4-hour VBR MP3 without a single glitch).
    After trying a few more settings in LAME, it appears that the Nano has a problem with mono MP3 files at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate - mono MP3s at 32 kHz or 22.05 kHz were tick-free, as were mono AAC files at 44.1 kHz. I tried converting the podcast to a mono 64 kb AAC file in iTunes, and sure enough, it played back perfectly (or at least the first 4 minutes) - no ticks or stutters of any kind.
    Note that this is hardly conclusive, as the ticking and/or stuttering is very random and I've only tested it on a couple files, but it does seem to point strongly to the Nano having problems with mono MP3 files at 44.1 kHz.
    This is something Apple needs to be made aware of, but until /if they offer a fix, it appears that simply transcoding the podcasts to mono AAC files will do the trick (note that in the "Custom" encoder settings in the iTunes preferences, you actually need to specify double the bitrate you want the file to be when you select "Mono", i.e. if you want a 56 kb mono AAC, you'll need to set the bitrate at 112 kb - it should then say "56 kb (mono)" in the Details box). Also note that the converted files will not show up under "Podcasts" in iTunes or on the Nano - they'll just be standard files in the Library, although all the tag information will still be there, so they will sort correctly, i.e. the artist name will be "BBC Radio Five Live".
    ...Just did a quick test, and it appears that you actually can force iTunes to recognize the AAC file (which will have an .m4a extension) as an actual podcast. To do this, open up the iTunes Podcasts folder (if you're using the default iTunes setup on a PC, it should be "C:\<your user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Podcasts"), open up the folder that corresponds to the show containing the podcast you just converted (in this case, "Wake Up to Money") and drag-and-drop the .m4a file into the Podcast window in iTunes. You can then delete the original .mp3 file (turning on the "Kind" and "Bitrate" columns makes this much easier to keep track of).

  • Ipod nano 4gb use itunes to restore востанавливаю все равно все тоже

    ipod nano 4gb use itunes to restore востанавливаю все равно все тоже

    restored my ipod and now it works but why does this happen? Is this a hardware problem, if it is, should i return my ipod. Or is this just a software problem that will be fixed in future updates?
    I'm not sure why exactly an iPod will say "Use iTunes to restore", but probably just because of a regular internal software problem.
    If you're iPod isn't displaying "Use iTunes to restore" anymore, and if it's acting fine, this was simply a isolated incident, which may occur now and then to a few iPods, if they're OS (operating system) gets messed up.
    It's similar to if your iPod once apon a time your iPod froze up, then displayed this symbol (it means you need to restore your iPod):
    You restored the iPod, and have never gotten that icon or any problems ever since.
    Will the need to restore your iPod recurr? It would only be by chance, and not relating to that isolated incident; this is, if you're iPod isn't displaying any failure messages soon after, which indicates a recurring true hard drive problem, not just a temporary one.
    If your iPod begins to display "Use iTunes to restore" or other failureful (that's my term for a symbol or behavior that indicates a failure) icons/messages soon after this, you can suspect that your iPod has a true problem with its hard drive/flash drive that a restore didn't fix.
    In this case, you would probably send your iPod in to Apple to get it repaired or replaced.
    I hope that explanation answers your question.
