Ipod nano 6g will not sync OR charge! (not happy)

i bought a ipod nano 6g but 3-4 hours ago and its not syncing. It is not recognized by my comp nor itunes. Not only that it it isnt charging either. I had downloaded the latest version of itunes. I did the diagnostics test and every test passed except for 2 in which both had said "no ipod, iphone, or ipad found". If it helps i also saw something that said no apple mobile device driver found as well, but i dont know or think it has anything to do with the fact that that device is also not charging. I have gone through several self tech support links from apple's support site and itunes links. i may just take it back tommorow. Please assist me and if ur having this same problem. please bump my topic so it gets more attention.

I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!

  • IPod nano 3G cannot be synced "I do not have the privilege to make changes

    My iPod nano 3rd generation cannot be synced any more for some reason. It gives me the same message that is in the subject box and it says "disk repair: The disk "** iPod" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disc as soon as possible" Can someone please help me so I can sync my iPod again within my lifetime without having to get a new one?

    Hello Lizzyr Lizaryd,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try reformatting the iPod using *Disk Utility*. For instructions on how to do this, see this Apple Support document.

  • New iPod Nano gen7 will not sync

    Some backround info;
    My iMac 27" harddrive was recently replaced (11/2012) by Apple because they said it was defective (replacement was covered by AppleCare).
    I have recently purchased an iPod Nano gen7 and connected it to sync with my iTunes library.
    My iMac is running OS X 10.8.2 and my iTunes is running Ver. 10.0.2. The iPod Nano gen7 is running Ver. 1.0.2.
    My iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both installed prior to my harddrive repalcement are syncing all of my tunes from my old hard drive and tunes added after the harddrive was replace. My complete iTunes library runs from 2007 to present day and is stored in the iCloud.
    Listed on my iTunes account, iTunes in the Cloud under Manage Devices are 1) My iMac, 2) My iPhone, and 3) My iPad, Missing is my iPod Nano.
    On my Itunes page listed undet "STORE" is a listing called PURCHASED that only shows tunes purchased since my harddrive was replaced.
    My problem is that my just purchased iPod Nano gen7 will only sync tunes installed since my harddrive was replace, non of my tunes from my old harddrive.
    How can I get iTunes to sync all of my iTunes library to my iPod Nano gen7.
    Any and all help will be appreciated.

  • If my  ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

    if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

    All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account.  I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
    *I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding.  You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum.  Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

Please post any help for me... thank you... I am pretty frustrated right now.

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

    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

  • IPod nano 5th generation battery is losing charge

    My iPod nano 5th generation battery is losing charge. I do not use this this ipod alot because I have older ipod iPod nano (3rd generation) which I like better. The problem is this ipod gos dead even if I don't use it. This ipod will not shut off and thats why it gos dead.
    Is there any way to troubleshoot thlis ipod nano 5th generation to find out how and why it will not shut off, because this should not go dead if your not using it...

    The iPod Nano 5th generation does not actually shut off. It "sleeps" by pressing the pause button until the screen goes black. To keep the battery from losing its charge, keep the iPod Nano connected to your computer, wall charger or a charging dock when not in use.
    When the iPod is left unattended (not charging), the battery will still lose its charge. This is mentioned in the battery section of the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual.

  • Does the iPod nano come with a means to charge the battery?

    Does the iPod nano come with a means to charge the battery?

    Yes it comes with a syncing cable that you can connect to your PC's USB ports to charge or you can connect it to an Apple wall adapater (sold seperately).

  • My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

    Then back it up and do a restore.  If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • TS1363 i have the new iPod nano? but wont sync to my home pc?

    i have the new iPod nano? but wont sync to my home pc? it connected then tells me i have to disconect then also re connect after?
    but never gets any further?

    If you mean that iTunes does not see your iPod:
    - Did you try everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Try another cable
    - Try another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with all my songs...

    Like the title say, my new iPod nano replacement isn't syncing with a number of my songs. They aparently aren't the correct format, however they range from imported CDs to purchased music from iTunes... They all appear to be the same 'kind'. Infact, it looks like none of my library has synced. What could be causing this? (The library worked on two different iPod touchs and the 1st gen iPod nano)
         Thanks guys!
    -- I had an idea shortly after posting this to restore it to factory settings... It seems to have fixed it.

    Theis is the iPod touch forum. I requested moderator move your post to the Nano forum.
    BTW, my 7G Nano synces fine with my WIn 8 PC.

    Does anyone know if its possible to listen to the ipod nano radio on a portable speaker, and not head/earphones.  I know that the head/earphones act as a antenna, but if plugged into a small portable speaker, does that also work as an antenna?
