It might not hurt to Google for more.
Keep in mind that these pics are no longer in their original size and resolution, but instead are now scaled down thumbnail versions of the original, optimized to fit on your iPod's display.

  • New iPod nano chromatic crashes computer

    I have an iMac version 10.4.11. My daughter just bought a new iPod nano chromatic and whenever we try to use it on that computer, it crashes and a window pops up demanding a mandatory restart. There was no way to even register the iPod and it never showed up in the iTunes library. My son has a first generation nano and my wife has the next generation of nano that came with the computer when we bought it, and both work fine. We returned the iPod nano chromatic and bought a new one, thinking it was a faulty iPod, but the second iPod caused the same problem. We tried the new one on my MacBook Pro 10.5.something new-generation laptop and it showed up and we registered it. When we tried the iPod again on the home computer and it still crashes it. We cannot use the iPod on my laptop because it belongs to my employer and if they need it back sometime, then the iPod ill be useless. So does anyone have a good answer besides "buy a new iMac?"

    We did solve this problem by connecting the ipod charger directly into the computer instead of through the usb hub (which is a usb 2.0 so I don't know why that would be a problem and none of our other ipods have a problem connecting through the hub). A real hassle as the computer has only three usb slots (are you listening Apple?!). We had used the hub to hook up everything (camera, ipods, SD card reader) -- but kept the keyboard and mouse and the hub directly connected to the computer. Now we have the mouse on the hub instead to make room for the ipod on the computer usb. So far, so good, but it would make things much easier if the iMac would have more built in usb slots on the back.

  • Ipod nano connection crashes computer

    Please help! I have managed to install itunes for my new nano and get some music transferred to the player. However since this first time connecting if I connect the nano or try to update it in iTunes the computer shuts down instantly. Im currently running service pack 2 for windows XP. This shutdown does not happen unless Itunes is running, ie the computer finds the nano when connected without any problems. Can anyone help?

    Maurice,
    have you updated your iPod software with the latest Updater?: iPod Updater 2005-09-23 http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20050923.html
    Install it on the computer first, without having the iPod connected. After that go to Programs-iPod-iPod Updater and open the program. Connect iPod when prompted and try to update. If this option is highlighted, you ought to reset your iPod with the Updater which will erase all personal data (but since your music is hopefully still in iTunes, don't worry). After that you will be prompted to connect the iPod to the AC charger to write the new software on the iPod's HD. Now you will be able to load your iPod again.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello, Pete. 
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

    Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • My ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. I do?

    please help me my ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. what I do?

    Hey saintbless,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines troubleshooting information for iPod nano. While it mostly refers to the 6th generation, most steps apply for your model as well:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    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 the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight 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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When i connect my ipod nano to my computer it does not light up and i get a message saying the usb devive has malfunctioned

    I need some help here as I believe my ipod nano has crashed or something is terribly wrong. When I plug in the usb to my laptop I get a message saying the usb device has malfunctioned. My ipod does not light up. I have tried powering it on manually and nothing works. Help, this is going to ruin my workouts!!!

    I'm not sure what the glitch was, but after I posted the problem, I called Apple and got a rep to walk me through some troubleshooting tips such as holding down the nano power button while plugging in the usb cable....nothing worked. Eventually, they scheduled a maintenance /replacement service.
    I got the box yesterday and was about to put it in for shipping to Apple, when I decided to try connecting it to my laptop one last time. Viola! it started back up again and is currenting syncing as I type. Guess it was just a bad glitch of some sort. Anyone with a similar issue, perhaps you may want to wait a few days and see if it solves the issue.I hope this helps.

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • Ipod nano keep crashing my machine

    Hello everyone,
    I currently installed the new update 06-28 for my ipod nano, I guess I didn't disconnect my ipod properly (i.e. safely remove hardware before I unplug it). So now when I turn on the ipod itself, I have lost all the songs/photos however in the memory section it shows I have used 1.3gb. When I try to connect my ipod to my pc, it just want to crash every window I open (i.e. When I open "my computer" it just freezes, same thing applies to different windows. Then it jumps to a black screen) So I've followed the 5 R's rule suggested from apple. I tried using the ipod updater to restore my ipod, but when it was initializing, the ipod updater window freezes. The itunes does not recongize my ipod at all. Everytime i turn my ipod on, it starts off with the select language page. And therefore I wonder did I do some serious damage to my ipod? I have reintalled the newest itunes and ipod updater too, but still doesn't solve the problem.
    Totally frustrated, any help will be appreicated. Thanks
    Ray

    Hello again,
    Disconnect your iPod from computer.
    Try resetting it (hold menu and center down together for 6 seconds), then put it into disk mode. Connect your iPod back to your computer and see if things work.
    See if this might help...
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or Quicktime software in Windows
    Also, something else you can do is what has helped a lot for some when they're having iPod Updater recognition problems; you might wanna do, if it might fix your problem.
    Pick up your iPod, hold it over a carpeted surface, with the play/pause vertically facing the ground. Then drop it at waist-height.

  • As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

    my new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance when i work out?

    Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software.  The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

  • IPod Nano Firmware crash, reproducable

    I was recently given an iPod nano 4GB for my birthday. My review is here: http://megaphone.unixdaemons.com/?p=25
    I'm subscribed to several podcasts. I use the latest version of iTunes on Windows XP. This morning I sync'd up my podcasts and there were two new episodes (I am subscribed to a total of 5 shows, and 2 shows had each a new episode). Before sync'ing up the iPod, I decided to do some cleanup.
    Through iTunes, I cleared everything on my iPod (songs and podcasts). I noticed that although the podcast episodes themselves were cleared, the podcast show FOLDERS still existed on the iPod, but were empty.
    After some playing around, i noticed that if you have at least one empty podcast folder (I don't know why iTunes doesn't garbage collect empty podcast folders?), the iPod nano firmware boots up, and you can browse the high-level menu items EXCEPT FOR MUSIC. If you click on the "Music" high-level menu item, the firmware crashes and the Apple logo appears on the nano screen as it resets itself. If you try to just hit "play" without entering the Music sub-menu it actually does play and you can skip forward and backward. But the moment you try to browse the Music sub-folder, the OS crashes.
    My workaround is, since I have 5 podcast show folders on the iPod, to keep at least ONE episode from each in each folder, and this works just fine, although my iPod now stores some old shows, taking up some space, even though I've already listened to them.
    Help?
    Cheers,
    Bosko.

    So I called Apple Support and apparently the problem has not yet been reported but while talking to the service rep found a more viable workaround.
    The bug seems to be that if you have Podcast episodes in iTunes that you drag over to your iPod, the first time you do so, a directory underneath the "Podcasts" category on your iPod will be created to store episodes for the given show. If you then go ahead and highlight each episode within that show's folder on your iPod with iTunes, right-click, and click on "Clear", you'll notice that while the episode disappears, the empty directory FOR THAT SHOW will remain within "Podcasts" on your iPod.
    And that's where the problem is. The iPod nano firmware seems to crap itself when you then try to access the "Music" top-level menu item if there is at least one empty podcast show directory on it.
    The workaround to not waste any space is to access the iPod via iTunes, and instead of clearing individual shows, right-click on the podcast show's folder itself and click on "clear", this will properly get rid of all the episodes within that show AS WELL AS THE SHOW'S FOLDER.
    Hopefully someone will fix the firmware bug in the future. For now, this is how to deal with it.
    Cheers,
    Bosko

  • IPod nano 4Go keeps conecting and disconnecting

    Hi, my iPod nano 4Go kept connecting and disconnecting from the main unit(threw USB2 cable), then it started booting other and other again. What kind of a problem is this? Now the batteries are empty... (the iPod is 4 months old).
    Ercorr.

    My 80 GB iPod Classic is having the same problem -- when I connect it to the computer, it syncs as it should and then when I attempt to disconnect it, it starts syncing again. It does this no matter whether I disconnect through iTunes or through the desktop (i.e., dragging the iPod icon to the dock to eject it). This never happened before a software update last week. I forget the update but it was something to do with the Intel processor, I think. My date and time was also screwed up but when I woke up this morning that was finally ok.

  • I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink   Transmitter Nike  Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

    I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink + Transmitter Nike+ Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.
