ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it does not respond to button presses on the touch screen. He also has just a white screen instead of the desktop display. Tried to rearrange the screen from another Ipod nano, but nothing came of it - all the same ... What should I do?

Hi Rc_Drifter,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano. Restoring the device may resolve the backlight issue as well.

Display shows a white screen
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
I hope this information helps ....

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and pay $75 USD for an out-of-warranty replacement.

Ipod Dies overnight EVEN WHEN TURNED OFF

Background info:
The Ipod after fully charging can last around 8-9 hours of USE (straight music playing) so the battery seems to me like it is fine as it holds a nice long charge of use.
BUT when I turn it off fully charged as I go to sleep, it will be dead in the morning. Its like it uses the same amount of battery whether its playing music or turned off. Now I know its supposed to be using some battery because the pod is not fully 'off' but clearly it should not be dying at the same rate it is playing.
I have done the 5 Rs to no avail. I thought I had found the problem from an alarm I had set because on a different forum people said that can drain battery along with calender alarms. Made sure I had none of these turned on even tried the 5 Rs again and after all of this still no go.
Is the only explanation that my battery is dead? Then why does it hold such a long charge? And I would hate to buy a battery replacement only to find out that it is something else. It ***** because my warranty is long expired and I cant even post at the apple forums (unless I am just dumb and cant find the 'New Thread' button.
But does anyone have any solutions? It is REALLY bugging me.

Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

When listening to an audio book the ipod nano (6th generation) keeps turning off?

Help! I just purchased an ipod nano (6th generation) for the sole purpose of listening to audio books. When I start a book about 20 seconds into it the screen goes dark and the ipod stops...then I have to turn the on/off switch on to begin the book again. I'm sure it has something to do with the settings, but I cannot locate the information I need in the ipod manual. Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I saw your other post, but thought I would reply here as well. It is all about getting that headset seated all the way. If you can see any silver of the plug, it is not in far enough. Push harder. If it just won't go in, look in there to see if it is blocked. The bottom of the headset port is white, so if it appears all dark at the bottom... something is in there.

Ipod nano 7th dies when turn car off

in my car i have my ipod using transmitter and charger. when i turn off car, i ALWAYS turn off my ipod by holding center button down. somehow every time i come back and turn my car on the ipod is dead and it was like i left it on the whole time WHICH I DO NOT. i used to have the ipod nano 4th or whatever and it never did this...i would do same thing and when i turned car back on, it picked up on the shuffle/song right where i left off at. of course if i keep ipod on it would die but i make sure i turn it on because i dont' want to have it start over in the shuffle....help!!!

Make sure the headset is plugged all the way in. It is a very tight fit, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

My Ipod nano 4th generation just turned off and I can't restart it. Tried all the troubleshooting tips. Can't find the issue.

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.

IPod 5th Gen. Frequently turns off. Help?

My iPod 5th generation turns off when using frequently. It restarts with a click on the wheel. Frustrating to always be holding iPod having my finger ready to click. How can I resolve?

Well as a last resort option, restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes. This process wipes all data from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and restores a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. By doing this we can rule out the possibility of corrupted software or data on the Nano.
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Otherwise, it looks like a hardware problem, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off. I recharged and reset. What else should I do?

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off.
It disappears when turned on. It must mean something. I recharged and reset. What else, if anything, should I do?

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

The iPod Nano battery will not charge unless you connect it to your computer, to an AC outlet with a wall adapter, a charging dock or an auto adapter/dock.
You battery is always discharging when idle or shut off. You should read the manual for your model iPod Nano regarding batteries - iPod Manuals

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3rd generation iPod Nano, how can I turn On the Backlight again?

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3red generation iPod Nano, how can I turn it On again? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

What do you mean you turned off the backlight? How did you do that?
Have you tried a hard reset to see if that takes care of it? To this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(
