IPod nano 6th generation won't restore

my iPod nano 6th gen, is locked in some kind of restore loop.  It says it's restarting after the restore, and after the iPod screen goes from do not disconnect to the Apple logo temporarily, the screen goes back to the restore screen, and iTunes says it needs to be restored.  What do I do now?

We had to replace ours and it seems to have fixed the issue, so unfortunately, it does sound like a hardware issue.  The thing that ***** the most is that I had the first one engraved for my wife as a "birth" gift, and when you replace something, they don't give you the option to get the replacement engraved.

  • Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?

    Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?
    I wanted to add in my Christmas playlists and most recent purchases, when it wouldn't get past syncing the second song a couple of times, I tried restore and lost everything because it still wouldn't sync. Then I tried to sync to my old computer which isn't itunes 11, and doesn't have my latest songs on it. My ipod did sync then though, so it seems to be a conflict between my version of ipod nano and the latest version of iTunes??????
    Has anyone had the same problem? is there a solution??

  • My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. It *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

    My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

  • IPod Nano 6th generation won't sync with iTunes.

    I replaced the battery in my iPod Nano 6th generation and now it won't sync with iTunes. It shows in the list as iPod recognises that it is in recovery mode, so advises to restore. Press the restore button and after a time a message says can't find the iPod

    do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Won't Eject

    iTunes recognizes my new iPod Nano (6th Generation) and I can add music, playlists, etc.  When I go to eject (both through iTunes or through Finder/desktop), the eject process seems to freeze and the iPod is not completely ejected.  Furthermore, I have tried to restore the iPod through iTunes and the disk will just spin after decompressing the iPod software package.  I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and still have the same issue.  I'm looking for any suggestions on how to address.
    Thanks.

    Both itunes and ipod flash "sync in progress", then it stops and says sync complete, but no music was transfered. I restored the ipod thinking that was the issue, but it continues. I unchecked manually managing the music and in devices i unchecked "stop ipod from automatically syncing". What is wrong?

  • Ipod nano 6th generation won't shuffle entire library when connected to car

    Hello,
    I have been connecting my ipod nano 6th generation to my car (a Citroen DS3) using the usb cable. The problem I have is that the music defaults to playing alphabetically through the artists and will not allow me to shuffle my entire music library. I can see my library, arranged by artist, on my cars display and can select which artist I want to listen to, but the car itself will only allow me to shuffle songs for the artist that is currently playing and not the entire library. I cannot control the music that is playing via the ipod itself as it locks itself as it is being used as an accessory.
    Has anybody got any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Abi

    Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com  - you need your device serial number for this.  It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano.  (!!!)  
    Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open  :/

  • New iPod nano 6th generation won't charge.

    I just bought a new ipod nano 6th generation multi-touch. I opened it and it had no charge and a black screen, no surprise I assumed it just has no juice in it. I plugged it into my macbook pro via the USB cord included and after leaving it attached for over 3 hours it still has yet to charge or offer me more than a black screen. Is there any way to remedy this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just simply dead and I need to return it for another? I have a half marathon to run in a week and I'd like to know soon so I can have it for the race x.x

    If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
    You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
    You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation won't xync Podcasts

    Hi
    I am in iTunes and selected the Podcasts I wanted to sync on my new iPod Nano.
    After syncing, the Nano says there are no podcasts.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    When you connect your ipod, on itunes on the right side tool bar it says devices.click on your ipod and a summary should come up, click on the podcast tab and select the "sync" option then you could choose which ones to sync.
    If it can't help you,you also refer this [iPod Transfer Reviews|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPodTransfer_SoftwareReviews],which lists some tools to work out iPod to computer.
    Cheers.

    Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

  • 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 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.

  • My iPod Nano 6th generation doesn't seem to recognize album artwork. I've downloaded the artwork manually, and I've even restored my iPod to defaults several times, but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution?

    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 this

    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 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.
