IPod nano 6th generation doesn´t work
I´ve got a new iPod nano 6th as an exchange unit. It works fine till i connected it with iTunes under Win7. First, the iPod appears in iTunes and a window was opened, i think, to accept the license rules. Unfortunetly i was distracted for about 5 minutes. By next gaze to iTunes, the iPod was disappeared, the license window was disappeared and the iPod was black. Unfortunetly i have tried to reset the iPod without disconnecting. Nothing happens. I disconnected the iPod, and it doesn´t works no longer. A reset between 8-15 seconds doesn´t help. An attempt to come into maintenance mode was failure. A new installation with complete delete before of all apple files couldn´t help. A deactivating of virus scan didn´t help. Other usb-cables, other PC´s even a mac didn´t help. A delete of the recovery.ipsw doesn´t help. The iPod doesn´t appear neither under windows or in iTunes. The strange thing is, by connecting with the pc, opening iTunes and an attempt to reset by 8 seconds, nothing happens. By connecting and an attempt to reset by 15 seconds, iTunes recognized the iPod, is waiting for the iPod about 30 seconds and reports, iPod recognized but not really identificated. Error 1601. If i try the reset by about 15 seconds without opened iTunes, then appears an apple mobile device under usb in devicemanager, but anyhow, no access. I´ve read, an older mobile device driver could help. I´ve extracted this driver out of iTunes version 10.5.2, deinstalled the newest driver and installed the older. It hasn´t helped. I could cry. By the way, my old iPod 2. gen works fine. I would by happy, could i get a solution. thanks a lot.

the nano screen comes up with a message 'do not disconnect'.
Do not reset your iPod if…
If your iPod is connected to a computer and displays any of the following messages, you should eject the iPod from within iTunes instead of resetting it:
Connected. Eject before disconnecting
Sync in Progress. Please wait…
Do not disconnect
Tip: Check out this helpful movie, too. ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320?viewlocale=en_US )
Try the below steps :
If you can see your iPod in windows explorer on your My Computer the Right click on your iPod and Format it in Fat32 Format once it is formatted completely remove it from your computer and then reconnect it and open iTunes on your computer and Restore it using iTunes and if your iPod is not appearing in iTunes then Put your iPod in disk mode by referring the Above steps and then try to Restore your iPod to Factory settings.

Hello I just found a problem with my Ipod nano 6th generation. It worked fine an hour ago but then the screen turned a dark grey. Did the restore through Itunes and then it went white. But now it's totally unresponsive and seems to be off even when it is plugged into itunes. Can't even restore it. I get Error 1415?
Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:

My ipod nano 6th generation is not working anymore :( HELP
I have an ipod nano 6th generation. Was working perfectly. One day I wake up and is showing me a screen I have never seen before..It reads:N20 Snowfox 4A0432
When I plug it, itunes doesnt recognize it. It recognized it once but it says problem 1621 and I follow the instructions but still my ipod is frozen and not even my computer can read it.
I really miss my music for my morning run!Have a look at comment # 4 and 5 on this page iPod nano 6G diagnostic mode to get it out of this mode again.
Pressing the volume minus button and power button should help. -

My iPod Nano 6th Generation is not picking up album artwork. On several of my tracks, it recognizes the album art, but it doesn't seem to recognize the others. I've tried uploading the artwork onto several albums manually, I've cleared the downloaded artwork to download them again, I've even restored the iPod to its default settings...nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to thisTry:
- 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 on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1369 IPod Nano 6th generation sync not working
I've run all the diagnostics, troubleshooting, reset the device. Device shows as being connected to computer and network. But, fails sync test. Help!!...Thanx...Michael
If a restore of the device to factory settings in iTunes, did not resolve the issue, it points to a hardware issue with the display's backlight. This means you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either to Apple or a third party service. Here is Apple's pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Google "iPod Nano repair" for third party service centers who would actually replace the damage part.

The power button on my iPod Nano 6th Generation is not working. Any suggestions?
Is this worth repairing?
Depends on how you do it and how much you like the size and the clip.
An out-of-warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment before you go) will cost your $65/$75 USD depending on the size of your Nano. You can find a 3rd party repair site that will do it for less buy you won't be able to do an out-of-warranty replacement if something else fails. -
My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????
You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

You might have better luck posting in the iPod Nano forum. You posted in the iPod Touch forum. For an iPod Touch one would start here:

My iPod's OFF/ON switch is not working and I have checked over internet that this problem is very common with iPod Nano 6th generation, my iPod is now out of warranty period. What shall i do now?? Please Suggest!!
You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store for a fee, get a 3rd party site to repair it, sell it for parts, or get a new one.
