IPod nano 7th Generation broken lightning port

I noticed that my lightning port on my iPod nano 7g is not making a good connection when I try to charge it. As I wiggle the connection, the lightning bolt charging icon will flicker on and off. The connection is apparently loose. Does anyone know of a DIY fix on YouTube, etc, or repair service other than the $75 Apple one?

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Can you connect the Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) to iPod nano (7th generation) with third-party accessories?

Can you connect the Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) to iPod nano (7th generation) with third-party accessories?

Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) do not work if connected together by other third-party accessories.

Ipod Nano 7th Generation is saying Use Itunes to Restore. Itunes no longer recognizes my device

Please Help, My Ipod nano 7th generation was syncing. When I disconnected from my computer, I no longer had any music on it. When I plugged it back in Itunes prompted me to restore my Ipod. I went ahead and restored it, but it kept asking me to restore. When I unplugged my ipod, I got a white screen saying Use Itunes to Restore. Problem is Itunes no longer picks up my device. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, I've tried to update Itunes to the newest version, and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I've tried to reset the ipod, but it still goes back to the white screen saying "Use Itunes to Restore". I've been trying everything. Please Help.
Thanks

No. You need iTunes on a computer to restore it. If you don't have iTunes you can download it from here:

If you don't have a computer, can you can try to borrow one with iTunes installed.

My iPod Nano 7th generation is not detected in Itunes

Hey there,
I have a iPod Nano 7th generation and I'm working with a Windows 7 64-bit version.
So when I got my iPod, I installed iTunes and everything went very well..
but today I tried to sync my iPod and it is not even detected from my iTunes or my computer.
I had the error -42110, but I found the solution on here, but it didn't work either.
I went through a lot of questions on here, but I couldn't find any solution for my problem
Has anyone got any idea?

well actually I did connect my iPod 3 days later or so to my charger, because a friend of mine asked me if I'm sure that the cable is not broken. So I connected it and it charged, when I thought "Well let's try on the computer again". I plugged it in and it was detected again.. so uhm I don't really know why it did not worked the last times.
So maybe try to restart your computer and turn off an on again the device and try it later on again.. maybe it will work then:)
I'm sorry I can't help more!

IPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on

My 10 month old iPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on - all of a sudden.
All songs on the device have disappeared.
Shows in iTunes - even shows as having a fully charged battery.
Holding Home Button and Sleep/Wake button down, even for a long time, doesn't help.
Have changed USB ports, from computer to AC powered USB charging station.
Help?

Just saw elsewhere on the forum to press and hold the power and home buttons and it fixxed it for me

Windows can't find driver for ipod nano 7th generation

I just got the IPod Nano 7th generation. When I plugged I in the computer will pick up the apple mobile storage device usb driver, but I get an error for the iPod saying that no driver was found. I have tried connecting to different usb ports and also tried uninstalling anything related to the iPod or iTunes. So, any help would be appreciated.

Ok I fixed the problem I had. I went under device manager and right-clicked the ipod icon, and told it to update the driver. For the update though I didn't use the automatic search. I told it to search in the location (windows/winsxs) and it found the driver. I hope this helps somebody else.
Since I didn't mention it earlier I have Windows 7 64-bit.

IPod Nano, 7th generation, compatible mini-stereo system?

We recently purchased an iPod Nano, 7th generation as well as a Sony mini-system and 30-pin - Lightning adapter. The iPod would not play on the stereo. I have called both Apple and Sony. Sony tells me their stereos are not compatible with 7th generation iPod Nanos. So, I returned the stereo.
Does anyone have a stereo that works with the iPod Nano, 7th generation?
Thanks for any input on this at all!!

Connecting ipod nano 7th generation through car stereo usb cord.

When I connect my ipod nano 7th generation to my car stereo through a usb cable, (using a lightning adapter), I am not able to control my music through the ipod, but only through the car stereo system. The car stereo system won't allow me to play my playlist on shuffle mode nor can I control the ipod itself through the device when it's plugged in. I have to unplug it and make new playlist selections. Any solutions?

I am having the same problem with mine. I have a Hyundai Sonota and can pair with my Ipod Nano but cannot connect. I also would appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Computer doesn't recoginize iPod nano 7th Generation and it will not power on

My iPod Nano 7th Generation was working I plug it inot the computer and computer would not recoginize it and now it will not power up.

Try:
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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 7th Generation is not compatible with my cars audio system. I had the IPOD nano 4th generation earlier and it was perfectly working on my car audio system. Is there any way i can make the IPOD Nano 7th generation compatible with my car audio system?

I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for your unresponsive iPod nano. I understand you have already tried to restore, but follow the steps in the order presented and see if that makes a difference. If not, I've included a link for getting it serviced.
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203681
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
The Five Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore
Try these steps one at a time until the issue is resolved. If one of the following doesn't help, read on for solutions to specific issues.
Reset iPod nano. First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Retry with a different USB port if you cannot see iPod nano in iTunes.
Restart your computer and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
Download and reinstall iTunes.
Restore iPod nano.

How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
I hope this information helps ....

Can i use my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro

I registered my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro. While on my macbook, I tried to download wma audiobooks from the library using overdrive media console & its not working.....so, I decided to use my windows laptop. I have the latest version of itunes on both laptops. (I know I can download & transfer wma audiobooks to my shuffle using overdrive media console & windows laptop.) I'm getting an error message that says I have to reformat my nano if I want to download wma audiobooks. Can I use my nano on macbook pro & windows laptop? will I ever be able to download wma audiobooks to my nano using macbook?

Your iPod Nano will need to be restored in iTunes on the Windows laptop before you can start adding/syncing content over to it.
Or if you want to use it with OverDrive on the Mac, you'll need to download the books as MP3s as WMA is not supported.

How do you dowload songs from iPod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

I have iTunes on two computers. I bought a movie on one computer, but through a series of events had to erase my iPod on that computer and sync it to a different computer. Now, it will not sync the movie unless it is on the computer I bought the movie from. Because I erased my iPod on the computer I bought the movie, I have to download my iPod to the computer I bought the movie on in order to sync the movie to my iPod. How do you download everything on the Ipod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

Hello I.lmoss,
