Ipod nano does not start

Hi
I got my nano Ipod on Christmas.
Today I tried to connet it to Itunes on my desktop and it went black.
the computer does not recognise it
what can I do?

Hey there mantralex,
It sounds like you are not able to turn on your iPod Nano. I recommend trying the troubleshooting in the iPod Troubleshooting article for your device. Select yours in the following page, and follow the directions therein:

Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Ipod nano does not synch all contacts

ipod nano does not synch all contacts. When it synchs, it only transfers 7 of 2000+ contacts

My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.

My 7th generation iPod nano does not appear in iTunes on a Windows 8 PC since installing the 11.1.4.62 update. I have now tried every step from the recommended KB: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 with no relief. Windows sees the iPod just fine...

Same problem. Also Windows 8... There is no problem at all with a Windows 7 computer.

My new iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Help me my iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Which battery life are you referring to? Apple's website states the iPod Nano 6th Gen will get "up to 24 hours of music playback when fully charged". There are going to be a lot of things that can change that. Are you using the stopwatch or the count down timer a lot? Are you using the FM radio a lot? Any accessories that you are using with the iPod? These will all have an effect on your battery life.

Ipod touch does not start

ipod touch does not start at all

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 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.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Macbook pro ipod nano does not work after plugging in

I plugged in an iPod nano to my MacBook Pro which has two operating systems, one is OS and the other is Windows. I don't know which generation the iPod nano is. The PC side of the MacBook Pro is working but the OS side is not working. It allows me to login and then shows a blank white screen with the pointer cursor.
The iPod nano was plugged in to add music from iTunes. I plugged it in, opened iTunes, and the iPod nano was not recognized on iTunes or on the computer in Finder. I unplugged the iPod nano and closed iTunes. When I opened iTunes again, it gave me an error and will not open iTunes again. I restarted the computer and this is when the OS side stopped working and the PC side continued to work. I was able to load OS in Safe Mode though.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks!

I had the same issue...of course i went swimming with my iPod but still. If it is the battery that is giving you trouble then go back to your local apple store or call them. Ask what the most reliable place for iPod repair is. A second option (what I did) is to go into the iPod recycle program. They take your old iPod and either give you a discount on the new one of the same style or a discount on a new one of the 3rd gen. I recomend the first option if your iPod is unused.

Why doesn't it sync? Does it even appear in iTunes when you have it connected? If so, what happens when it does sync? Any error messages?
Looking for a bit more information...
