IPOD nano 6th gen recovery problem?

I am trying to restore my ipod nano 6th gen to factory settings as I was having problems with it. I followed the promps and now it just sits there saying "Do Not Disconnect" with the flashing circle with a bar through it. Can anyone help?
Thank you very much.

IPod Nano 6th Gen Touch Problems

So I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen, and my touch screen is acting weird. It will work and detect my touch, but it will randomly act as if I'm touching it when I'm not, for example I set it to time on wake, then when I wake it I see the clock for a second then it jumps to my home screen and starts "touching" icons. I did a test in the diag mode by holding all 3 buttons at once, and I get the results shown below, the Cal and SC and green and 0C is red, not sure what these mean but I'm guessing they are all supposed to say OK!. Any help would be appreciated.
Cal:OK!
0C:R2
SC:OK!

Have you tried restoring the device?
Diagnostic mode is only for the Apple Technicians. We have no way of using that information.

IPod nano 6th gen. shuffle problem

Hi Everyone,
I just bought a iPod nano 6th generation but I have a problem with the shuffle function. When I select a playlist and choose "shuffle" it shuffles ALL the songs i have on my iPod, not just the playlist I selected... I would like to shuffle just the songs in one playlist.
How to solve this?
Thanks!
Nanneke

you just have to enter the playlist. select a song, press on the center of the screen, change page(going on the right side) and then choose shuffle(pressing on the symbol!) that's the way for shuffling your playlist!

Ipod Nano 6th gen USB problem with JBL 1000 Radio

My Ipod nano 6th generation will nt sync to my JBL Radio sytem through the USB Port. I am trying to download music from my Ipod to the hard drive on my JBL Radio. I have done this before with a different name brand player through the USB Port.
The Nano USB port works on my Lexus Radio system but not my JBL Car Radio.
Is there a compatibility issue with the 6th generation nano USB port and the JBL USB Port? My JBL radio is a J-1000.
Thanks in advance.

Ipod nano 6th gen, wierd functionality problems

I got this ipod nano 6th gen refurbished from apple a year back. I just started using it and found that after I synced it with my itunes, i have the following problems :
1. The screen display is opposite than my previous ipod (landscape vs portrait).
2. I have to manually change to next song most of the time.
3. When I change songs, it plays a song a few seconds and then skips a few before stopping on a song.
4. The song playing is not the song displayed on the screen.
Tried restoring to factory settings. Same issues. Can someone help?

Hi zenpal1,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPod nano that persist after a factory restore, you may need to have your iPod evaluated or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

Question: Problem Syncing some songs in ipod nano 6th gen

Hi all,
So I've been having some problems syncing songs over to my new Ipod nano 6th gen. Whenever I try to sync, this message pops up:
This happened before with another song, and I just ignored it, and after checking my iPod, it had synced anyways. However, some songs do not seem to do this. I've tried changing the file format from mp3 to wav, finding other copies, deleting it from iTunes and then re-loading it. Nothing seems to work. The songs that won't sync work fine on iTunes, and I can play it from my computer, whether from iTunes or Windows Media Player, but it refuses to go on my ipod. >.< If anyone has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you actually add these songs to your iTunes library and move their physical location or is iTunes referencing them in another location? Sounds like the latter in which case they won't be synced to the Nano.

My ipod nano 6th gen can't be identified by any computer, but it can still be charged in a wall socket. what's the problem in here? :'(

There's this time that my ipod nano 6th gen stopped from being recognized on any computer, i tried all trouble shooting stuff but none of them worked, can you give me any solutions? i'm pretty desperate.

Are you using a Macintosh or Windows?

I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it. MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs...
Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

Receive error message, The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. iPod nano 6th Gen, all latest updates, Macbook Pro, with OS 10.6.7

Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7. This is getting frustrating. I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once. I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod. I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad. This is the only device that has this issue.

I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
To do this:
1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

IPod Nano 6th Gen needs a restore every day...?

My iPod Nano 6th Gen works well for arond 24 hours but every morning when i wake up it says it needs to be restored using iTuunes.
When I restore it, it works perfectly. No problems at all. I can fill it to capacity with music and it works all day. The next morning, the battery is still really close to fully charged, but the iPod is in recovery mode. I've scoured the internet but haven't found anyone with a similar problem.
Generally, I've read about iPods that will not restore, or that, even after a restore, will remain in recovery mode, which is indicative of moisture or some other malady.
This Nano has been well cared for and is in flawless condition in every way aside from the condition mentioned. Not even a scratch or smudge. I'm baffled.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I love to use the smaller ipod when running or bike riding, but am stuck restoring it each day I choose to use it over my Classic 160's.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, here is a bit of an update on the issue.
For the last two mornings, when the Nano says it needs a restore, I've hard reset it (holding down both the select/menu and volume down button simultaneously), then, when the apple logo shows, I held down the menu and the volume up button simultaneously, which then restores the ipod back to functioning properly (I think I read that this is supposed to put the ipod into disk mode, which it doesn't do on this Nano, obviously).
Aside from being annoying as all get up, I suppose the ipod is working, so it's a minor victory.
Still, does anyone know why this might be happening every single night? The battery is still completely charged and once I do the aforementioned sequence, the ipod works perfectly until the next day.

My ipod Nano 6th gen crashes everytime

Hi,
My ipod Nano 6th gen has big problem: it crashes everytime:
When i do not use it for something like more than 2/3 hours, my Ipod crashes when I decide to get him back from the sleep mode.
On the same way, it seems buguy/crashes when i connect him to Itunes (sometimes).
Everytime it crashes, it is absolutely impossible to relaunch it. Everything I get is a message asking me to restore with itunes.
I already tried to re-install the firmware (restore); but when the installation is done it shows, again, a "restore message"...
+ I noticed that when I have this "restore message", I just have to let the Ipod off (or sleep) for 3/4 hours and then it can lauch properly.
Any idea about what could be the problem on my device? Thanks for the help and please excuse me for my poor english, which is not my mother tongue !
Good evening !

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
Thanks

I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1
