Ipod nano 6g not charging - not working

My nano 6g is not charging at all and not powering up either. It just died all of sudden. If I connect my charging cable long enough, it starts heating up.
Any clue what could be wrong.
Since its out of warranty, would apple be ready to repair it at certain cost.

The same thing happened to me, so I switched to using a wall charger, and (so far) it's been charging completely and holding a charge. It seemed to coincide with the latest update of iTunes--the player was charging fine until I installed the update. I'm hoping the next one will correct it again.

  • Macbook pro ipod nano does not work after plugging in

    I plugged in an iPod nano to my MacBook Pro which has two operating systems, one is OS and the other is Windows. I don't know which generation the iPod nano is. The PC side of the MacBook Pro is working but the OS side is not working. It allows me to login and then shows a blank white screen with the pointer cursor.
    The iPod nano was plugged in to add music from iTunes. I plugged it in, opened iTunes, and the iPod nano was not recognized on iTunes or on the computer in Finder. I unplugged the iPod nano and closed iTunes. When I opened iTunes again, it gave me an error and will not open iTunes again. I restarted the computer and this is when the OS side stopped working and the PC side continued to work. I was able to load OS in Safe Mode though.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks!

    I had the same issue...of course i went swimming with my iPod but still. If it is the battery that is giving you trouble then go back to your local apple store or call them. Ask what the most reliable place for iPod repair is. A second option (what I did) is to go into the iPod recycle program. They take your old iPod and either give you a discount on the new one of the same style or a discount on a new one of the 3rd gen. I recomend the first option if your iPod is unused.

  • Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

    I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
    How do I fix this problem?

    That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

  • My new ipod nano does not  work when you turn off the computer

    I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

    Hello pepi95,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

  • IPod Nano - volume not working

    My 3rd generation Ipod Nano's volume stopped working after a software update. I have tried the 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore
    1. I checked the head-phones
    2. I tried resetting my iPod.
    3. I removed and reinstalled itunes to my computer.
    4. I finally restored my Ipod Nano to it's original settings and the volume still does not work.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

  • IPod Nano will not work

    My daughter has had her iPod Nano 8GB for about 10 months and now it will only play when its attached to the computer. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

    I guess you've tried the obvious - power down the pc, and then power back up (my pc sometimes shuts down the USB ports for no reason). Try connecting the one that won't work first, I've also experiences one ipod disabling another from connecting. Next try resetting the ipod (toggle the hold switch, then press middle and top buttons together for about 6 seconds).

  • Ipod Nano Buttons not working??

    I have an Ipod nano 1st generation atleast thats what my Brother says.
    But any way, the Buttons stopped working after I went on a camping trip about 2 weeks ago. my friend was using it and when I tried to turn it on when I got home, it didn't work.
    Any Ideas on what I should do??

    This happened to me too, don't worry, it can be fixed. Hold down the center button and the menu button until you see the apple logo, then you can let go, it should unfreeze your ipod and make the buttons work again.

  • My ipod nano will not work unless connected to the internet - what can I do

    I have just downloaded music, pictures, etc., charged the battery and safely disconnected, but my ipod does not respond after the eject from I-tunes. What can I do to find out how to get it to work?

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

  • Nano will not work unless plugged in

    Hello.
    I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
    My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
    The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
    Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
    I am lost on this one guys.

    I would say that it's a dud battery.
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

    My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.
    Any reasons for this?

    Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
    Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
