Ipod nano 7th: Screen flashes white (turns off) and stops the music.

I just got a brand new Ipod nano 7th: Less than 10 seconds after the song starts playing the screen flashes white, the apple logo shows up and it returns to 'home' screen. Battery is full. Tried to restart but that didnt help!
What could be the problem?

Hi joannefromhkg,
If your iPod nano (7th generation) will not turn on at all I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Specifically -
Follow these steps if your iPod a power-related issue.
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
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 iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
And -
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • How i can turn off or stop the music in ipod nano ??

    i need some help i dont know how i can stop the music in my ipod nano i become crazy .

    Is it a "feature" of the new model that the pause is a limited pause?
    No. Try resetting the iPod to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If you are still having issues, do a full restore of the iPod in iTunes.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation is playing but I cannot hear the music

    I have a 16 gb  ipod nano 7th generation.  I've followed all the instructions in syncing and all seems fine except I cannot hear the music through the earbuds, even though the ipod shows it is playing.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks shielafromgresham

    Hi shielafromgresham,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are not getting any sound from your headphones on your iPod nano, I suggest reading over the information in the following article. Along with the information in the Acoustics section of the article, make sure the headphone jack is pushed completely into the headphone jack.

    Follow these steps if there's no sound coming from your headphones.*
    Verify that the headset is plugged in to the iPod .
    Check the volume setting.
    Try adjusting the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
    Try another song or audio file.
    Try another headset.
    Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.

  • My ipod nano 7th gen does not turn on and is not recognized by my pc

    Don't know why my ipod does not turn on anymore. I only had it for 2 weeks. It also is not recognized on my pc or itunes when I plug it in with my USB.

    How long have you left the iPod to charge?  It can take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to power on or show any signs of life.  How long did you press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons to reset the iPod?
    It might not to also make use of another USB sync cable if you have one laying around to rule out the possibility of a faulty/damaged cable.

  • My ipod nano 7th generation won't turn on and is not recognized when I connect to my laptop.  How can I fix this?

    Also, I charged it overnight after it stopped working, so I believe the battery is full.  iPod was not dropped or damaged, did not get wet.

    I'm interested in the same answer because I'm having the same problem and I've just bought my ipod 2 weeks ago. I has happened a couple of times.

  • Ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it doesn't respond to button presses on the touch screen.

    ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it does not respond to button presses on the touch screen. He also has just a white screen instead of the desktop display. Tried to rearrange the screen from another Ipod nano, but nothing came of it - all the same ... What should I do?

    Hi Rc_Drifter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano. Restoring the device may resolve the backlight issue as well.

    Display shows a white screen
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • My ipod nano 7th gen has suddenly gone black and it wont turn on or connect to a power source.

    I was listening to my ipod nano 7th gen when it went black and the music stopped playing.  It wont turn on when i press the power button and when i connect it up to charge the screen doesn't turn on.  Can anyone tell me how to turn it on again or give me suggestions. 
    Much appriciated,

    Hey MissC@t,
    Although the following article says 6th generation, most of the troubleshooting steps should still apply to your 7th generation nano. I'd go through the troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue:

  • 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?

    Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.
