Ipod nano 6th gen freezes when connected to usb.

Hello.I have ipod nano 6th generation.When i connect it to usb it shows Connected screen and freezes until I do reset and nothing shows in windows or itunes.I dont know what to do,searching about 2 hours for fix.:(

Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right?

My Ipod Nano 6th Gen doesn't connect to USB.

When I connect my Ipod to the USB port it says 'USB device not recognized'. I can't find any help online. I am using Windows 8. I used to use it on my old laptop that ran on windows 7.

How do I delete playlists on my ipod nano (6th gen.) when I am in itunes??? I right-click and it won't give me an option to delete.

Hello there, 209girl.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for how to delete your playlist:

Additionally, the iPod User's manual shows how to delete it from the iPod itself (on page 26):

Is it possible to find out when was ipod nano 6th gen last time connected to the iTunes?

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to trace this information using serial number or is it possible to get this info from some authorized personal?
Thanks in advance

You may not be able to show "When" the iPod nano was plugged in, but you can find out when the last sync was. Open the desktop iTunes app (you don't need to plug the nano in), choose the iTunes drop down menu, select "Preferences" {or after opening iTunes, use Command-Comma to show the Preferences, select the "Devices" icon. It will show all devices which have been synced. This may or may not show if logged in under another user. This is only the easiest way. Jim

Nano 4. gen freeze when connecting earphone

3 weeks old nano 4. gen 8 gig tend to freeze when i connect eraphones. Both original earphones, and some old I got at home. If i blow hard in to the connection-area, it will sometimes work normal. It turns on as normal if not connected earphones.
Is it possible fixing this myself?

From the linked thread:
Assuming you have already used iTunes 10.6, there is a file called iTunes Library.itl that iTunes creates and you will need to either delete it (if you don't care about losing your playlists) or replace it with the last version in the "Previous Libraries" folder (assuming you ran iTunes 10.5.3 before this). Just move the last version from the Previous Libraries folder (it will probably have a date in it's name), put it in the same place as the original file and rename it to be iTunes Library.itl. These files are located in /Users/username/Music/iTunes/ (for Mac OS), or \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\ (for Windows 7).

Ipod touch 5 gen freezes when connected to car stereo

I have a new ipod touch 5 gen that works perfectly until it is connected to my car stereo. Actually, it works fine for an hour or so, when suddenly the sound stops and the ipod screen is frozen blue screen or a blank screen with a glowing center. The connection is via cable from the radio to a 30 pin connector adapted to the lightning connector with apple's adaptor. Fortunately I've been able to restore after each instance, but the second time the screen was flickering and It took two restore sessions to get things stabilized. I don't want to fry this expensive toy, but I would like to use it for music in my car.

Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.

My ipod nano 5th gen freezes when i try to play a certain song, and itunes gives me an error message when i try to convert it into a different format!! i just bought the song this morning, so i dont see why it wont work! any help would appreciated!!

so yea, the title pretty much says it all. I bought a song called LOL Money by Jace Hall this morning, along with Sub-Zero VS Scorpion rap battle by Brysi. when i synched them to my ipod nano, the rap battle would play, but LOL Money would just freeze my ipod and i would have to reboot it. does anyone know why it is doing this??

Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes? Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

Ipod Nano (1st Gen) no longer connects at usb 2.0 speeds

I have had my nano since it was released almost 2 years ago. When I got it, it connected to my computer (running Win XP) at usb 2.0 speeds, however about 5 months ago, it stopped connecting at this speed and only connected at 1.1 speeds causing very slow updates. I assumed it was my old computer and lived with it. However I just bought a new computer, running windows vista, that has all usb 2.0 ports. I finally tried to connect my ipod this week (I waited until the new ITunes was released), and on the new computer it still connects at USB 1.1. I get the message in windows that says it could operate faster if connected to a usb 2.0 port. I have tried all usb ports on the computer, tried restoring the ipod to factory settings, rebooted, etc, but it still only connects at the slow speed. All other devices I have connect at USB 2.0, except the Ipod. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Does anyone know a solution?

Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

IPod Nano 4th Gen wiped when connecting to iTunes 10.0

Hey all
Don't know if anyone else is having this issue... my iTunes went crazy just now (recently updated to version 10) when I routinely attached my iPod. Got this message saying "duplicate file" something or other, and the thing wouldn't sync. I tried to reboot it and ALL of my music had been wiped. Fun. And after restarting iTunes it still wouldn't sync (the same error message just kept coming up). Not fun.
Eventually had to restore the iPod to factory settings just to get the thing to switch on.
Is anyone else having this issue??

I am having a problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, I get a message that my iPod 'is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Well....I cannot locate this other iTunes Library and know if I sync with the one that opens I will lose all my current songs.

Ipod nano 6th gen keeps disconnecting

Hi all, I have a 2 year old ipod nano 6th gen and when I first brought it I synced it with my windows 7 computer. I now have a mac so about a month ago I started syncing it with my mac, and all was fine. However, I noticed it wasnt syncing my 25 top played about two weeks ago so I did a system restore. After I disconnecting my ipod (which is the final stage in the restore) I then connected it again to sync all my music back on to the ipod, but after about 50 songs it came up with a pop up box saying that I had disconnected the ipod so it couldnt be synced, however I had not touched the ipod. I have also tried a friend's ipod cord and I have tried syncing my ipod with my old windows 7 computer but when I try to sync it it still says after about 50 songs that I have disconnected the ipod. I have turned off automatic sync and I have tried restarting the ipod and my computer and nothing has helped, any ideas?

then try to do this:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step. If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.
