Ipod nano 4thgen - help! just been given one of these now what do I do?
How do I get music already stored on my computer onto it please? Do I need to download something - some sort of ITune app? Am not technically minded so very simple language please!
You need to have iTunes installed on your PC or Mac and have all of your media such as movies, movies, podcasts imported into it.
Then you can configure it to sync to the iPod via iTunes.

Ipod nano 2nd gen controls in russian after restore. Now what?
Hi. Just restored my old nano because it was formatted to Windows and now I have a new Mac. The restore went great and so did the sync, but all of the controls on the ipod are in (what looks like) Russian.. Help!
Kenichi Watanabe, thanks for your help. I couldn't find the Settings screen, so I did another restore. When it was completed, I noticed that the first thing I had to do was chose my language. I'm guessing I flubbed that step the previous time! All's well now.

My three year old ipod nano 4th generation has been working fine all these years. Suddenly, last week, while it was low on battery (not completely drained), it shut down and I cannot restart it. I have tried all the troubleshooting issues and still did not manage to turn it on. Though. when I press center and menu while connected to my computer, the computer bips has if it recognized that something is trying to connect. Though, it cannot identify it and the iPod remains shut down. I cannot find the issue, perhaps I need a battery replacement?

It's possible. Just take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. -
I've a ipod nano general 7, I've just used it one year. Now, I can't charge the battery. When charging, the icon shows full power. But when I disconnect, the ipod becomes dark, no power is keeped. Why, the battery doesn't work ? the life of my ipod's battery is too short ?

New iPod Nano 6th generation just got it going today. It is fully charged but shuts off a few seconds into a song, what do I do?
I received mine yesterday as replacement for 1st generation and yes I had exactly the same problem.
I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

My iPod Nano 4thgen only opens when connected to a pc and/or power adapter
My iPod Nano 4thGen. was brand new and I followed each and every step in the manual. I was able to connect to a computer/iTunes but after disconnecting it from the cable, the power just turns off, I pressed any key on it but failed to put the power on. I then attached it to a power adapter/charger having suspected empty battery but after I disconnected it a few hours later, the power immediately shuts down. What could've been the problem?
I have had the same problem with my daughter's IPOD nano. Spoke with several technicians to try to fix the problem to be told it was a battery problem and to send it in it was covered under warranty. Was told that it was a problem with many of the nanos. I sent it in to have it returned with 1 week stating that it had "liquid spill or submersion damage indicated by the pink/red color of liquid submersion indicator located inside headphone jack." It has not had liquid or submersion damage and I can't prove otherwise. It works only if it is attached to computer. Will not turn on unless attached to computer. Maybe I am wrong but it it has damaged by water would it still work plugged into computer. Now I am out $200.00. This frustrates my because my ipod shuffle quit working 2 months after I got it. Thats why I bought the nano thinking it was better quality.

iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

You'll need to take or send the iPod in for service or repair either via Apple or a third party company that does repair work on iPods.

Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer
Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer. One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.
It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple. See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!
Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

when syncing the ipod nano 4 gen., Itunes shuts down. Drivers are updated, what could be the issue?
You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.
