My nano fell and now the headphone plug does not fit in.
Can it be fixed?

Can you see physical damage to the headphone jack port on the Nano such as indenation or anything like that?

Ipod nano 7th gen problems synching

hello,
for the past 2 days, I have been battling an ipod nano synching issue. This ipod has been working flawlessly for the past year. And then all of the sudden, without warning, I tried to add additional music and I could not. I cannot remember the exact syntax of the error but it had something to do with the ipod not being recognized and required a restore to factory.
I have corrected the first issue where the ipod was not recognized and had to be factory restored. Each time I restored, it would not be recognized by itunes.
I installed itunes on another pc and the same ipod synched and reconnected just fine, pointing back to the itunes install on my primary machine.
I resolved the first issue on my primary machine by following ht1923.
However, now the problem I see is that even though the ipod connects successfully , to my primary machine , when I synch and add music, no music shows up on the ipod even though itunes says synch successful. The ipod says "no music".
ipod serial number: C8NJRFX4F0GV
my primary pc is an HP Elitebook, running windows 7 professional 64 bit version
All itunes software completed removed and reinstalled clean.
Thank you

I would like to chime in that I've confirmed this as a reproducible bug on my iPod Nano 7th generation. I have an iTunes library with an offending compilation, and to avoid any possible tagging incompatability, I've converted the files to AAC with clean tags containing the album, artist, title, and track number. The album artist is "Various Artists" and I've checked off the "Part of a compilation" box for each track in my library.
These tracks all show their correct artists when I sync this library to my iPhone. However, when I sync the exact same tracks to my iPod Nano 7th Gen, it choose a random artist from amongst all the artists within the compilation and shows that artist name on *every* track.
iPod Nano 7th Gen has a bug in the firmware for displaying artists correctly when they are part of a compilation. The OP is likely doing nothing wrong. Apple needs to issue new firmware. Alternatively, I cannot think of any decent workaround short of splitting off each track of the compilation into a separate album, which, would be a huge pain and likely impractical for most people.

IPod Nano Grey Out Problem in iTunes??

I purchased my iPod Shuffle last year. I installed iTunes in my Window PC and purchased music via the music store.
A month ago, I purchased a iPod Nano, I added the iPod Nano to iTunes. iTunes will update my iPod Nano automatically when I connect it to my computer.
However, all the songs in my iPod Nano menu in iTunes appear 'grey out'. I can't do anything like delete, play them etc??
Can anybody advise me how to solve this 'grey out' problem?
Thanks,
Jacky

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you update automatically, the songs are grayed out, because the songs should be on your computer.
To delete songs, you can uncheck the songs/podcasts you don't want on your iPod in iTunes. Then connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes, go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab, then the music tab under that. Check "Only Update Checked Songs" and click OK. Only checked songs will be put onto the iPod.
See this for more ideas/tips...
Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
To be able to play songs on the iPod through the computer, delete songs only on the iPod (without having to check and uncheck), and to have songs not grayed out, you would have to manually update. Songs would no longer automatically update onto the iPod. You would have to drag new songs that you want on your iPod onto it (through iTunes)...

Help! iPod Nano Screen Freeze Problem!

Hello,
I purchased my iPod Nano 4GB about a month and a half ago. A couple of minutes ago when I plugged it into my iMac the screen just froze.
I've tried plugging it back in, turning it off, and everything. Nothing works! The screen stays lighted with one of my songs paused on the screen, even though the light is supposed to turn off in five seconds.
Help me please!
Thanks!

I just found the solution to the problem!
Connect the iPod to a computer. Switch the "Hold" button to the right, and then back to the left.
Next, press and hold the "Menu" and Center buttons at the same time for six seconds.
This should reset the iPod.
It cured my frozen screen.
Thanks for everyone's help! I think I'm going to buy the extended Apple warranty now, just in case.

Ipod nano 4th generation problem? :/

Hi! Ok, so this is what happened.
The other day, I was listening to my ipod (Which like I said, is a green 8GB, 4th generation ipod Nano) and the battery was dying. I went to plug it in, but the computer didn't pick it up, and it died anyway while hooked up. Now, my computer sees it as an "Unknown device" and it won't show up in itunes. It won't turn on now either. I've searched everywhere for an answer but they all say the same thing "Press and hold the menu and center buttons down". I've tried that before, it's not working. My charger isn't an apple one though (It's a black one that folds up, we bought it from walmart)...could that be the problem? I believe it's the driver, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it..so..any ideas?
Thank you for reading.

Solved, it WAS the charger. Lol.

Unknown iPod Nano 7th Generation Problem

My iPod Nano is only a few months old and a few days ago I realized a huge problem. I picked it up to start listening to some music and then it turned off. The "Connect to Power" screen came on and I plug it into the charger. I left it there for a few hours and then when i went to check on it, the screen was white. I stared freaking out. I tried restarting it by hold the Home button and Sleep/wake button. It would show the apple logo, but start turning off and back on. The ipod would start heating up quickly and the screen would start blinking on and off pretty fast to the point where it is white again. I thought it was a battery issue even though I rarely used it, but I could send the iPod into disk mode and diagnostic mode.When in disk mode, the iPod would connect to iTunes for a little but after awhile it would say an error has occured. Restoring the iPod is not helping either. Please help in any way. I've tried everything I could. Thanks.

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get it serviced.

IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
Thanks,
Global_mongrel

Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

IPod nano Third Generation problems...

help, anyone!
my sister's iPod nano doesn't play the songs that are in it... I am so frustrated because we had to install iTunes on another computer just to sync the songs we wanted... and it doesn't work at all.. let me explain:
when i decide to play a song on the ipod, the upper part of the screen shows that the song is playing, but the song duration bar :
0:00 ------------------- 4:15
does not move...
most importantly, if you hear the song you are playing, it doesnt play at all...
silence, the only thing I hear...
help me please , no one helped us on our last question...

It happened to me too, so I just resest the ipod, and now everything works. Switch the hold button at the bottom on then off then hold the menu and center button at the same time until the ipod resets. You won't lose your music, and it should work correctly.

Ipod nano deleting music problem

i bought an ipod nano from disc replay for my 7 yr old stepson for christmas and i cant figure out how to delete the previous owners songs off of it and to add our own?

Hey there JTharp2013,
It sounds like the iPod nano has the previous owners music, and you would like to sync your music to it. You should be able to reset the device back to factory defaults, then use your library to sync your music over with your iTunes library.

How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My Ipod Nano Has Pixel Problem

I have an Ipod Nano 6g. (The tiny touchscreen one) I turned it on one day and there was a really weird mark on the upper right area. It was gray dots that made a really weird shape that looked like hebrew. The next day I turned it on again and the size had doubled. I could it was something wrong with the pixels on the inside. I started scolling down on my screen and as I did so the pixels moved. Is it my fault? What is wrong with it? Is it fixable?

Also the pixels are blue on the bottom and black on the top. B\
