Ipod nano chromatic wont turn on

ipod is recognized by itunes and plays while connected. Battery shows as fully charged. Once disconnected ipod turns off and will not turn back on. Have tried restoring with no luck. Please help.

Welcome to the Forums!
You could try:
Hold down the Menu and Center buttons on the iPod until the screen changes.
Connect to iTunes. Select it in the Source List on the left. Go to the Summary tab. Click Restore. NOTE: You will lose all settings and have to re-transfer music.
Good luck!

    Hello KyleMack1993,
    You might try putting the iPod in disk mode before trying to restore.

  • Ipod Nano 4g Wont Turn On After Unplug

    anyone know what to do?

    Ok, so my ipod nano 4th generation will not power on. Once I plug it in the apple icon comes up on the screen and then it syncs to itunes. As soon as I eject it from the computer it powers off and all i get is a black screen and nothing else. It will not power on at all? Also I have tried to reset the unit on itunes and through the unit. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I need iPod nano chromatic help.

        So after I got my new Andriod phone at christmas I hadn't been using my iPod a lot. so after 4 months of not using it i went to turn it on, but it was showing an Apply symbol so I figured it was dead. I then tried charging it which worked, but now whever I try to plug my iPod nano into my iPod docking station it shows a black screen, then when I take it off it shows the Apple symbol and after 30 seconds it goes back to my menu screen. However, it does this to almost anything I plug it into besides my computer. I got my iPod nano chromatic in 2008 I believe. Is it just that the bttery is dying or is somthing wrong with my iPod.
         Other facts: My iPod is just about 100% full of songs (including 1 video), haven't dropped it in a year or so, and it's 4 GB

    Thank you :) I thought that that's what was happening. Seems like my iPod is reaching the end of it's life :(

  • IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

    I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order

    my Ipod nano 7th generation turned off and won't turn back on. what should I do?

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

  • 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.

  • My ipod touch 5 wont turn on. It was working fine about an hour ago and now it does tot respond to any action i take.

    My ipod 5 suddenly wont turn on and is not responsive to any action, what can i try?

    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 another cable              
    - 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.

  • After restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    after restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

    I seem to recall that another user has this problem and found that it was because of some corrupted music files they were trying to sync over.
    Try syncing smaller bunches of tracks till you come upon the ones that cause the error. You should be able to find out which ones are causing the trouble this way.
    The other user said they used something called MP3Diags. I cannot vouch for this software at all, I have never used it.
    I did a quick search on "how to repair MP3 files on Mac" and also found this:

  • 7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

    7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello Marie,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on.  I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
    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.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
    All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset.  To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
    I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:
