IPod nano 4Go keeps conecting and disconnecting
Hi, my iPod nano 4Go kept connecting and disconnecting from the main unit(threw USB2 cable), then it started booting other and other again. What kind of a problem is this? Now the batteries are empty... (the iPod is 4 months old).
Ercorr.
My 80 GB iPod Classic is having the same problem -- when I connect it to the computer, it syncs as it should and then when I attempt to disconnect it, it starts syncing again. It does this no matter whether I disconnect through iTunes or through the desktop (i.e., dragging the iPod icon to the dock to eject it). This never happened before a software update last week. I forget the update but it was something to do with the Intel processor, I think. My date and time was also screwed up but when I woke up this morning that was finally ok.

Ipod Nano 4GB Keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds
when i plug the nano into a usb port... it shows up everywhere and then disconnects and then reconnects and keeps doing this, therefore i can update my ipod?
Also... the ipod works fine on the xp pc next door so i have to assume its the USB on my pc.

Hi peggic,
It sounds like your iPod Nano isn't functioning properly. I have located an article which you may find helpful. It contains a series of troubleshooting steps you may want to consider:

My ipod keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer
I've tried everything, first my ipod kept displaying the folder with the exclamation mark, then a couple of days ago started working again. It then wouldn't play any songs and just kept skipping. So I plugged it into my computer to restore it so I could start again. Now its displaying the folder with the symbol again, and just keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time so I can't do anything to it. Keep trying the ipod updater but says it cant mount ipod.
Any ideas????Hello all,
I've been experiencing the same problem, but have managed to get it sorted.... well sort of.
As Jen's problem, I had the exclamation mark and after unsuccessfully trying to update etc decided to leave it out of frustration.
A day or so later it started to work again, great!!!
A few days of problem free use then I got the sad Ipod screen.
After checking the website I've restored and I'm now a week later and still trying to get my music from Itunes onto my Ipod.
The problem now, once again very similar to Jen's is that my Ipod only seems to connect to my PC for period of time and then disconnects, sometimes updating a few songs.
I get different 'Unknown Error' messages usually -124.
I've tried with both USB and Firewire connections and even when my Ipod disconnects it still charges, so it's not the port at fault.
Can't help but think it's the actual Ipod which is causing me this hassle and musicless journeys!!!
Any ideas? -

My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button
Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?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 when the screen turns off to save battery power. 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.

My Ipod nano says its locked and screens on and it's staying frozen. I have tried pressing the menu and select button simultaneously and still not reset. What should I do?
Right click on the iPod Nano icon. "Eject" should pop up. At least that is the way it works on Macs.
Just found this:

My ipod nano is no longer recognized by itunes after I installed windows 8.1. The ipod nano still is recognized and works with a Windows 7 computer
Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
please help me my ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. what I do?
Hey saintbless,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines troubleshooting information for iPod nano. While it mostly refers to the 6th generation, most steps apply for your model as well:

Will not turn on or screen remains dark
- Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
- If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
- If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
- If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
Thanks,

I have an iPod Nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod Loading error message. The cable works with the dealer's iPod which is a newer model. The cable came with the car when I purchased it. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?
You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop. If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC. I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything. When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'. It also states the IPOD is up to date. I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
Thanks
