IPod Nano freezing + Itunes issue

My Ipod nano 6th gen was working fine since i bought it until today - today when i tried to play the Nano on shuffle it would simply freeze. I could hear the clicks but nothing would happen - it wouldn't play and i couldn't move to another function. i would have to reset the Ipod to get access again. Same thing would happen when i tried to find a song individually - i access a song, click it and then frozen. at the same time as this issue comes up now my itunes cant see my ipod. my computer can see it just fine, just not my itunes.
any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Resetting the Nano was a good first step to solving the problem, but you may need to go a step further.
Open iTunes, and plug in the USB sync cable; leave it in. You'll see an option in the middle of the iTunes display that asks if you might want to restore the Nano. This will erase your playlists, but if you have them backed up with iTunes, that shouldn't be a problem. Let the Nano automatically enter your playlists and files; make sure the transfer is completely finished before detaching the cable.
Everything should be back to normal. Let me know how the intervention went, so I can make sure it went well. And others with a similar problem can refer to the data as well.

IPod nano Freezes!!!!!!Please Help

Every now and then my iPod nano (1st gen) used to freeze and nothing I could do could get it back to life.......so i would just wait an hour or so and it would come back to life. When the iPod was frozen, the screen would be on, the only thing it responded to was the hold switch (the screen light would turn back on after switching it on and off) and no matter what I did it wouldnt respond (including turning the hold switch on and off and holding down MENU and SELECT). But now it isnt coming back to life and I have tryied EVERYTHING on the apple website including letting battery drain for 48 hours, restoring, resetting it and uploading the newest update to it when it appears on my macbook. Could somebody please tell me weather I should send it in to get serviced because I only have one month left on the one year warrentry or is there another way to fix it. Thank you.

Yes, I would definitely send it in before the warranty expires.

My first generation ipod nano freezes on language menu. All a can do is reset it

Hi!
My 1st generation ipod nano froze today on the menu.
I've resetted it holding the select and menu button and i've restored it from itunes a few times.
Now it freezes on the language menu. It's like the wheel and select button don t work anymore, though they work when i reset the ipod.
I also reinstalled itunes and updated itunes and the ipod OS.
Same issue.
Anyone has an idea?

Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

IPod Nano Freezes / Resets / Skips

My new 3rd Gen iPod Nano randomly freezes on certain videos (in the same spot EVERY time), resets in the middle of certain videos (again in the same spot EVERY time), and even skips (i mean entirely to the next song, not just a stutter) when I listen to certain songs, and of course, it's in the exact same spot every time.
Not to mention some of my Album artwork will display incorrectly, but if I skip to the next song and come back, it displays the correct artwork. But if I go back to the previous song and forward again, the album artwork is...you guessed it, displayed incorrectly or not at all.
I've tested every one of these songs on iTunes so far, and they work fine. I've tested the videos, they're good too. I tried them on my brother's 5.5g iPod video, and they still work great.
I restored my Nano and it didn't help either.
Are these all just bugs in the brand new iPod OS? Or do I need to wait another week for my iPod to ship out and one more week to have a new one shipped back?
This is a bummer. I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with problems, because I have my iPod engraved. I don't enjoy the extra downtime in requesting a new product
Anyways, any answers appreciated.

I think it is more likely a 1.0 firmware issue as other Nano 3G and Classic owners are having similar issues (Myself included). I have noted that I get song skips in the same places in certain songs and also a number of MP3's indicate that they are playing but the counter does not move nor do they actually play (They just sit at 0.00 with the play indicator showing). Very annoying when I have it docked on my speakers on random play as I have to keep going over to it and skipping to the next track.
The strange thing is that the MP3's this occur on are often in clusters from the same ripped CD's but it is never all tracks off the CD only a selection of them...
Ah well, hopefull as Apple normally do they will issue a series of fixes over the coming weeks and eventually provide a solid platform. Other than these minor quibbles I think the iPod has moved forward in a positive way but I wish the iTunes developers would get together with iPod and Apple TV developers to ensure they all have the same sorting and display of Tracks (Podcasts, TV Shows etc). For example, TV Shows on iTunes use the "Show Name" field for grouping yet Apple TV uses the "Artist" field ... WHY???? But I digress, sorry!

Hello, Tracy,
I would suggest that you ask your question in the Using iTunes Store with Windows forum. This forum is for the Apple TV and so not the place where you'll be most likely to get help with your issue.
Good luck.

IPod nano refuses to do anything

My 2gb iPod nano is stuck/frozen and refuses to do anything.
When I first got it, there was some power in the battery and I was able to turn it on, open and use features, turn it off, etc. At that point, I had not uploaded any songs to it. The next time I had turned it on, it indicated that power was low and it needed to be charged. I connected it to my computer, left it alone to charge and since then, it is locked (little lock symbol at the top of the iPod screen) and refuses to do anything.
I believe it got this way because of two reasons:
1) My computer is equiped with a USB 1.0 port only (not the recommended 2.0. I wish I had realised this earlier)
2) My computer went to sleep during the charging process (again, I wish apple had made it more apparent/made a special warning that I should've disabled the sleep mode prior to charging)
I have tried the "Five R's" as recommended (especially "Restoring" with the latest updater and "Reinstalling" iTunes), I have read some of the posts here in this forum about re-naming the drive letter of this device (which actually is not listed in my Disk Manager as it said it should have been). And none of these procedures work. My iPod continues to be locked, whether it is connected to the computer (during which I can download music to it, but cannot play them with the earphones), or if I eject it from iTunes/my computer.
What can I do to unlock it from this point (please go easy on me, I'm not an advanced computer programer/engineer).
Thank you,
Peter

No not a dumb question and yes, I did check that (did the resetting procedure: toggle Hold on and off, press the Menu and Select buttons for 6 sec +...).
Turns out this problem is not software related. I had a tech-rep at Bestbuy look at it and came back to say that the click wheel is non-functioning and possibly fried.
So, off for warranty repairs it goes...

Need help badly ipod nano freezes my whole computer

i have all the latest softwear for i tunes and windows xp. i plugged in my new ipod nano
and then my whole competer freeze and the only way to get it back it to turn the power off
on the computer, and restart it. can someone tell me what im doing wrong??

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still didn't work. Still froze the computer when I plugged it in. I plugged the ipod into a friend's mac and was able to restore the settings on it, and now it seems to be working on mine as long as I drag the songs into it and don't try to sync it or manage the music through the tabs at the top. I have had nothing but problems with Itunes since I got this macbook about a month ago, in terms of not recognizing songs or freezing up....

Brand New iPod Nano will not do anything

My mother's new Ipod nano 4th generation will not do anything. It has been plugged into the USB for close to twelve hours (not in sleep mode) and it is still completely unresponsive. Shouldn't it be charged by now? The hold switch is off. It is not recognized by the computer. I have hooked it up to different computers including a brand new Macbook and it still does the same thing. I've tried resetting and restarting it using the method on the Apple site but it is still completely unresponsive. All that is on the screen is the Apple logo--nothing else.

it's always a good idea when u first use a new ipod with a computer to restore it with the ipod updater to makes sure everything is all rosey with the format and then load up the songs so u can walk through the ipod set assistant. this should fix it right up. just restore it

Ipod nano will not display anything, will not charge, will not turn on/off/reset and will not show in itunes

my ipod nano 5th generation stopped working not long ago
i was sitting down, just listening until a song in the middle of an album ended and none played afterwards
i went to look to see what had happened but nothing would display; it was just a black screen
i was confused so i started to hit the menu button to see if it had just went to sleep or something
i could hear the noises that the buttons make when you push them, but the screen stayed black
i went to see if it would charge (via dock/stereo charger), but nothing showed up
i then tried plugging it in (via cord) to the computer and still nothing; it would not even recognize my ipod in itunes
my itunes is completely up to date and worked with my ipod even just a few days ago, so that shouldn't be the problem
i've tried to reset, restore, and etc., but nothing seems to get it to turn on
it seems like i might not be able to fix it, but is there any way i can see my files (music) on the ipod so if i have to get a new one i remember what to put on it?
help, please ~

Ipod nano freezes pc when connected

Hi,
I bought a brand new I pod 2 weeks ago, loaded the current itunes version and after a few hick ups itunes loaded the music on my ipod. Now a few days later my computer totally freezes as soon as I connect the ipod to the pc. I tried everything, setting back the ipod, deinstall and reinstall itunes, even an older version of itunes, tried all available usb ports (all 2.0 versions)...nothing. I also blocked the firewall and the antivirus guard...nothing.
still full stop when connected. itunes recognizes my ipod on the screen but then it stopps. I have to restart the pc to keep on working with it. I also tried other pc's. An apple one worked fine with my ipod, another pc recognized it on the F drive and did not freeze it so I don't think the little beauty itself is the problem.
Any idea to help my restless soul... ;-)???
PC Windows XP

OK, here I am back again.
My ipod was restored by my friend who used an apple computer with the latest version of itunes 7.....
So I started from scratch, installed an earlier version of itunes (6.0.2 or so), put my music on, connected my ipod (no freezing yet) but it immediatelly asked me to use this ipod with the new version 7.0.2. I then upgraded the existing to 7.0.2 and then...as soon as I connected my ipod it recognized it, told me that it is originally communicating with another bibliothek and asked if I wanted to synchronize or only load the bought items etc...and...
did not load any songs on the ipod and....
Freeeeeeeeezzzzzzeeeee !!!! I could not move any mouse or curser on my pc anymore. What do you mean, should I throw away my computer...it looks like is definetly not the ipod.

IPod nano freezing when plugged into Belkin Tunecast

Everything has been working fine with my ipod nano 3rd generation until recently. I tried to plug it into the tunecast in my car and the ipod froze. I've tried resetting it and this still happens. A different ipod has been working fine with the tunecast which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the belkin but the ipod is fine even when plugged into the computer which makes me wonder which one is not working properly. Any ideas????

I am having this exact same issue with my wife's 3g, 8GB nano and her Monster iCarPlay. the Monster unit and the nano worked fine together for a week or two but now the nano locks up when connected to it. You disconnect the nano and it goes back to working fine. I have reset the nano while both connected and not connected to the Monster and have done a restore in iTunes and I am still having the same issue. I called support and they basically told me to buy a new car adapter. I don't believe this is a good solution since the Monster worked with the nano for a couple of weeks when we first got it and the Monster still works fine with both my wife's and my old ipod mini's. Any suggestions?
