IPod nano (7th generation) will not restore in iTunes

Recently, I've been havng issues syncing my iPod nano (7th generation). I thought the most logical way to fix this is to restore it. When I click "Restore" everything is fine till it gets to "Extracting Software" then it says "The iPod "Alex's iPod nano" can not be restored because it is in use with another application." I do have warranty. Should I take it to the Apple Store?

Is the Enable Disk Use option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, disable it and then try restoring again.
Sometimes simply rebooting the iPod and Mac can resolve the issue. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

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

My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync.

My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync, I have updated itunes very recently. Everytime I try to sync anything, playlists, music, podcasts, or even photos from my computer, It does not sync. However before It syncs it tells me that I need to authorize my computer so that I can play purchased songs, so I log in with my apple ID and it says that the computer is now authorized but then when I press the sync button again the same message pops up over and over. Can anybody fix this?

Hello stowie10,
I would make sure that music is checked to sync, or any other data at that. Check out the following article to get the squared way with this setup.

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

New ipod nano 7th generation will not turn on. Any suggestions?

Just bought a new ipod nano 7th generation & the device will not turn on. Any suggestions?

Have you charged it?

My iPod nano 7th generation will not turn on or charge.

Can someone please help me. My ipod has shutoff. It will not turn on what so ever. I have tried methods from other posts such as resetting it but still nothing. Is this a sign of a dead battery?

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 register in computer

My iPod 7G has suddenly ceased recognizing any power source. The battery died I went to plug it in and neither the computer or iTunes would not even register that there was anything attached. When I tried to restart and do a hard restore, it would glitch and just continuously restart unless unplugged from power. I have not added any new files that could have altered it.

Is the Enable Disk Use option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, disable it and then try restoring again.

HT1365 my ipod nano 7th generation will not connect with my MacBookAir 2012 11 inch. It will pair but the message on my ipod says that it can't and make sure it is in range and on but it is.

it is and all ready mut wont work tried moving but still dosn't work

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

My iPod Nano 7th generation will not make any sound.

The sound is all the way up, the ear pods are plugged in completely, and I have the song playing. I have tried turning it on and off, going to settings. What's wrong? Please don't tell me to get another one...I can't afford it...

It is under warranty, you won't have to pay for another one.
The headphone jack is very tight on a new Nano, be sure the headphones are plugged all the way in.

My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.

My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?

Hey s.mccarter2010,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPod won't turn on
If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario
