Ipod nano 6th g stopped working

Ipod nano 6g doesn't work with ear phones.  Has to be plugged in, but doesn't need a charge.  Worked fine yesterday evening with earphones and works if it is plugged in to electrical outlet, but not otherwise.  Any thoughts?

If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.  If the iPod is under 1 year old, it may still be covered under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. In that case, make an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and they should be able to swap it ou for you at no cost.
Otherwise, you can opt to pay for a battery replacement.  Here is pricing.

  • Why did my iPod nano 6th generation stop working?

    My iPod nano isn't yet a year old. It just stopped working one day. I don't have much music stored on it. I thought it was the battery but plugging it up didn't do anything. Please help!

    Make sure the headphones jack is inserted all the way. There's a switch inside the socket: if the jack isn't inserted all the way the switch will not be pressed, and the iPod assumes that there's no headphones connected.
    If the headphones jack is inserted all the way and the problem still occurs, try a different set of headphones.
    If that doesn't help, the switch may be broken and needs to be repaired.

    My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

    try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
    If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
    If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

  • I was just listening to my iPod nano and it stopped working. I plugged it into the computer to sync it and it won't sync. The little light don't come on on my nano. I've turned it off and on, pushed the play/pause and nothing. Can anyone help me out here?

    I was just listening to my iPod shuffle and it stopped working. I plugged it into the computer to sync it and it won't sync. The little light don't come on on my nano. I've turned it off and on, pushed the play/pause and nothing. Can anyone help me out here?

    How long have you left the iPod to charge? It can take up to 30 minutes before it shows any signs of life. Did you use the instructions in this article to properly reset the Shuffle?

  • Anyone have trouble with ipod Nano earphone jacks stop working?

    I have had 2 ipod Nano sice 2007 have earphone jacks that have sytopped working. My latest one was purchased in April 2010, and earphone jack stopped working 2 days ago. Anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks!!

    I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!

  • Why does my iPod Nano 6th generation stop playing after a specific time only on 2 songs? (but both at different times)

    My Songs (Eminem,Just Lose It) stops after 57 second seconds and my other song (Jessie J, Who's laughing Now) stops after 1 minute 23 seconds. I think this might've happened because internet connection was lost while it was loading but I'm not sure how to help it and find a way to make it play fully threw.

    Do these same songs play okay in iTunes?  Were they originally downloaded from the iTunes Store?
    Have you worked the suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • Ipod nano 5th gen stopped working and now is in different language, wants a passcode

    I was listening to a movie when it suddenly stopped. When I looked at the ipod it was in a different language and looking for a passcode. When I plugged it into a computer I got a"usb device not recognized" error message. I've hooked it up to 2 different computers using 2 different usb cables and I still get the same results.

    Search for a solution over on Knowledge Base, call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) and/or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP. 
     Another option is to check out the DIY iPod Repair website. 

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • Auxiliary Cable issue on ipod nano 6th

    Well, i bought a auxiliary cable for my ipod nano 6th gen it works perfectly till the screen 'sleeps'(the music or podcast stops), after that i have to turn it on again and press play. Can anyone help me with this issue?

    You are not inserting the cable all the way in. The headphone jack is quite tight on the 6th generation Nano, make sure the plastic on the plug of the cable is flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Ipod nano 6th: no voice recorder despite headphones with microphone

    Hi there!
    I have got an ipod nano 6th that is working ok, but when I use my headset with microphone, the voice recorder app still does not show up. It can't be the headphones as 1) I have tried several ones with microphones on the nano and none makes the app appear, 2) the very same headphones manage to trigger appearence of voice recorder in other ipods. So it must me my ipod nano. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences? BTW: it used to work in the past on this nano...so no idea why it stopped.
    Thanks!

    Hello Bettina,
    I would be concerned too if the Voice Memos app stopped appearing on my iPod nano.  I found some steps I recommend to troubleshoot an issue like this.
    First, I recommend verifying that the Voice Memos icon is set to be visible on your iPod nano.  If you go to Settings>General>Home Screen, make sure you see the switch set to On next to Voice Memos. You can find more information about this on page 15 in the iPod nano (6th generation) User Guide.
    If you are still not able to see the Voice Memo icon after verifying that, I recommend resetting your iPod nano (from page 52 of the iPod nano User Guide):
    Reset iPod nano:
    First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    The final step would be to restore your iPod nano if Voice Memos is still not appearing.  You can find steps to do this on page 56 of the User Guide.

  • IPod nano 6th gen won't play my music.

    My iPod nano 6th gen has worked fine for years and when I synced it recently it would play some tunes fine, cut some off mid-way through and skip some completely. The first thing I done was just tried to sync it again but this didn't make a difference so I reset my iPod through iTunes and synced it again but this made it worse, when I pressed play it comes up with the pause button but if I go to the next screen where you can see how far through the song is the bar wasn't moving, so the tunes aren't playing, so following this I formatted my iPod on my pc and then reset it on iTunes (I had to replace the folders I had removed during formatting) and that didn't do anything it still won't play anything. It's not my headphones as they work fine in my pc, and it's not my music as it worked fine before and they all play fine on my pc. What else can I do?

    What do you mean by select tracks?  It will only play particular tracks or repeatedly play a particular track? What format are these problem tracks in?

    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
