Ipod nano 6th gen unresponsive touch after lcd change

hello people,
i just changed the lcd/digitizer over on a nano 6th gen and now the touch is completely unresponsive. the screen is a-ok im just wondering if theres some kind of magical 'thing' someone could suggest. ive tried the power/volume reset and ive restored it in itunes.....no luck.

When I originally purchased the Nano it had the small icons. Then a few days after the update 1.2 (the change to big icons) I noticed the stream of music would stop every time the screen either locked or went off automatically. I know that it's not my headphones because I never had any problem like this before. I've factory reset the thing twice via iPod and via computer- nothing. Also it's not my headphones because it does the same thing in my car aux port. I searched this this topic and it looks like other people are having the same problem

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.

Ipod Nano 6th gen not syncing mp3s after itunes 11.1.4.62 update

As the title says, after updating itunes to the 11.1.4.62 update, and everything that doing that successfully involved such as completely uninstalling all Apple software and then reinstalling itunes, my ipod nano 6th gen will not allow itunes to sync any mp3 files to it. The only way to get any new files onto it is to let the ipod convert them into AAC files when you transfer, even though all other music files on the ipod are, and have always been, mp3 files. Everything worked fine before the latest itunes update, I could sync mp3 files to the ipod nano with no problems.
Anyone know of a solution to this issue, or whether Apple are working on a solution for this obviously botched itunes update?
Thanks in advance.

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 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

Ipod nano 6th gen askinh for resore every time i connect and after the restore not showing the sysnced song on ipod

i have a ipod nano 6th gen, few days back when i tried to add few songs through iTunes it gave me error that it "can't connect to ipod . restore it" so i did and after that i synced al the songs and it showed that my my empty ipod has been up few GB's. after i disconnected , i could not see any song on the ipod . when it connected back the ipod the got same error about restore. i dont know what to do now , please help.

Hello Singhindia,
It sounds like you restored your iPod Nano when iTunes prompted you and it appears to sync. When you disconnect it and look at the content, the songs arent there, and when you plug it back into iTunes you get the same message again. I would recommend these troubleshooting sections from the following article to help isolate the issue to hardware or software:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218
Verify that iTunes is installed and updated
Restart the computer
Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
Verify the device's USB connection
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
Remove and reinstall iTunes
If the issue continues, gathering iPod Diagnostics may be helpful for you or for support personnel in identifying the issue.
Additional Information
Certain phone connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, and Sony may also cause this issue. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall your Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, or Sony phone connectivity software and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista and Windows 7).
After reinstalling iTunes, test the iPod nano.
If you still need your phone connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your iPod nano to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
While the error message is different than you are seeing, the troubleshooting is relevant for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

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:
Re: 30gb 5th gen. Probs syncing.

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 digitizer issues

Hi,
I recently replaced the battery in my oow ipod nano 6th gen. After replacing everything, it booted up fine, but now the touch screen capabilties are not working. I took apart another oow 6th gen nano and I get the same result.
I went to the diagnostics menu and whenever I press "Sensor Test" it says Please Wait and will flash back to previous menu. The same happens with "IC version" and when I check for errors, it says No IC error reported. It's a bit confusing.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I appreciate your help!

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.

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'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.

IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

IPod Nano 6th Gen - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

Hi
I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
Thankyou!

Hello bfsf,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.

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.
