Ipod nano 5th gen wont restore

My iPod nano decided to not charge or sync, and then when I decided to show up on my macbook pro, I clicked restore and half way through the restore it decided to drop out and wont come back up on the computer. I have tried plugging it into another MacBook Pro, a Dell PC and same thing. Also when I do plug it in it turns into a white screen and shows a tick and ok to disconnect and doesnt even come up on the Mac.
Any ideas from here?
Thanks

If you have not already, do a Reset on the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
In case the battery is drained, do the Reset while it is connected to power (USB port or power adapter).  If that does not help, try putting it into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
If Disk Mode works, shut down (power off) the MacBook.  Disconnect all other USB devices and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the MacBook.  Start up the MacBook, and run iTunes to see if the iPod is recognized.  iTunes may prompt you with an "iPod in recovery" message.  Try to do a Restore again, if possible.
Also, to rule out a bad USB docking cable, try a different cable or use that cable with a different device, if possible.  Since you tried it with different computers, I think you've ruled out something wrong with the USB port on the first MacBook.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

    That might be a damaged iPod photo cache, Kid.
    If you delete your photo cache as per the following document, are you able to get a proper photo sync?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • HT1853 ipod nano 5th gen wont uncorrupt

    iTunes pop up indicated Nano was corrupt. I restored to factory and reset both standalone and connected to computer, even using different cables and ports. toggled on/off switch and its in on position. screen shows "connected eject before disconnecting" or goes to sleep. before restoring it would show music and scroll through anything just not play music (songs stayed at 0:00). iTunes wouldnt recognize the ipod (and iTunes at latest version). neither did syncios. I've read and tried troubleshooting but havent come across anything that has helped yet. what else can I do? thanks

  • I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod and tried it dozens of times

    I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and with that "upgrade" I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod, tried syncing under another users account and everything else I can think of. It syncs ok upon initial start-up but then when I tryp to select podcasts or music to sync to it, itunes crashes. Now that I restored my ipod, I can't even get my old podcasts much less add new ones.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Restore my iPod Nano 5th gen

    When I repaired my iMac G4, I decided to use it to sync my iPod content. But I want to restore it to defaults to make it work better. I am running iTunes 6 and I don't want to download iTunes 11 just to reset my iPod. How do I restore entirely my iPod Nano 5th Gen to factory defaults using iTunes 6?

    I click restore, it said: "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct, and your network connection is active, or try again later." It's not the Internet connection, I'm using the same computer with the problem to write this message. Can I bypass iPod update and restore it and install the updates manually or something?

  • Have a ipod nano 5th gen., keep getting error message 13019!!!

    I have an ipod nano, 5th gen. Yesterday when I tried to sync music I received error code 13019. I tried unsyncing music, resyncing,...finally ended up restoring, resetting..nothing worked. All updates are current on itunes and ipod. This has never happened. There is no voice memos options on playlist either. Please help!

    So you worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document then?

  • IPOD NANO 5TH GEN Broken Because of Water Damage

    IPOD NANO 5TH GEN water damage, it worked untill i put it on the charger, and it wont start again, Is there anyway to save this IPOD NANO PLEASE HELP

    You've definitely shorted out the battery and may have done logicboard damage. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store. Make a Genius Bar appointment before you go.

  • What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    There isn't one.  You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings.  There is no other way.

    The music does not belong to you.  You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
    Sorry
