IPod nano has odd spots on whole nano

Hi, my friend's iPod nano has an iPod nano that unfortunately is oddly covered in spots that he described as this: they are on the outside of the screen...around it...and they just look like smudges from lint or dirt but they will not come off same on the back. Please help! Thankyou!

You should try calling apple support open that one they should be able to help you the number is 1-800-MY-APPLE just don't be a jerk and get impatient because they can screw you over and not even care.

Ipod mini has black spot on screen

Hi, I have had my Ipod Mini for about 2 months and yesterday I saw a black spot on my screen. There is a big spot then other little ones. I have tried re booting, but nothing changes. Please help.

I think what happened is that your ipod may have been in the sun too long because the same thing happens to my ipod when it sits in the sun. try letting it sit in a dark spot for a few days.

My ipod nano 6th generation has a black spot on the screen

My Ipod nano 6th generation has a black spot on the screen where it appears that it was pressed by a thumb. Do I need to replace the screen or will it eventually correct itself after pressure is removed?

Replacement silly

Ipod Nano Screen Has 1/2 Inch Horizontal Line Of Odd Pixels

I took my ipod nano on a backpacking trip way up in the canadian rockies. We camped in a tent and my ipod was exposed to below freezing temperatures and possibly high humidity conditions (it rained but the thing never got wet--it is also in a case). After one night i tried starting my nano up and it didn't start the first few times. I realized that it was extremely cold and i warmed it up in my hands for a while and it turned on after a few minutes.
I thought everything was fine a dandy, but a look at my screen made my heart fall: in the middle of the screen, where there was supposed to be writting, there was white. What do i do? Investigate.
I have never really experienced anything like what my ipod is doing, but i only have experience with things like gameboys or psps. Pretty much, when i turn on my ipod, this horizontal bar of "odd" pixels appear a bit darker, and resemble the very first picture/text the ipod displays (pictures in color, white, or text). It looks like the stuff is severely smudged with with something like a picture editor (Photoshop, for instance). To bring more oddness to the table: it doesn't stay like that (it isn't frozen)
On the first time (up in the mountains) it changed to white within a fraction of a second, but as time went on the length of time before that bar turns to pure white lengthens. Nearly a week later, the length of time is nearing a half minute and is becoming less smudged looking. I may also note that it turns to white gradually.
Everything else works just fine . I'd really appreciate help, info, or instructions on how to get my old ipod back! (interesting how we get attached...)
Cheers,

Okay guys, i know that this is a discussion forum, but i have been very very very patient here . I still have this line of really odd pixels... right in the middle of the screen. Help please 0_0

My 2nd generation iPod nano screen is showing lines and I cannot see the whole menu. How can I fix this problem?

I believe that my wife disconnected the iPod nano (2nd Gen.) improperly and now the screen has a whole bunch of lines. I can see the screens moving when I move to the next screen. But it's just lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well unfortunatley your warranty is over so the device is not covered, BUT sounds like you have interupting signals being sent from a stuck home button constantly being pressed and maybe even a digitizer problem (the touch screen). You can try to restore your ipod to your computer to see if it might be some kind of software related issue. Just restore to the last sync you have on iTunes. But FIRST...I would try to Reset your ipod.
Go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings.

IPod Nano has no sound

Hi,
I have a second gen iPod nano that was bought off eBay for Xmas.
I have downloaded some songs onto it but get no sound - not even the clicker sound.
I have tried the 5R's with no luck. I have also tried different headphones, playing through speakers and computers etc. and still get no sound.
Can anyone help?

Sounds like a problem i had with my U2 Special Edition ipod when i had it. Except i could play sound in Ipod Stattion/Speakers/Docks. It sounds like your Ipod Jack has got a problem and isn't working The little whole where you plus earphones/ipod into places either that or have you checked all the settings/volumes on the ipods?
If it has warrenty take ot back to Apple is all i can suggest.

ITunes has a weird error message when I plug in my iPod Nano

I need help really bad. So my problem is that one day I sat down at my computer and downloaded 2 songs on my iPod Nano(1st generation) and then I took the iPod off the dock and all the songs were gone on the iPod. That has happended before so I figured that I could just put it back on the dock and download all the songs again, like before. I put the iPod back on the dock and iTunes opended...I waited and waited. Then a message came up and said "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the iPod Updater to restore the iPod to factory settings." I have tried everything. Restarted my computer, searched for help on apple's support section, etc. Someone please help me!

IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Why is it that i am unable to buy an ipod nano 16gb in germany? In the stores it is advertised however not available, the store only has the 8gb and I can't ship it here? Is it a case of not yet launched, patent infringement or apple just being annoying?

I am trying, thus far with no success, to buy an ipod nano 16gb here in Germany. However whilst the stores advertise it they don't have it in stock and can't tell when it will be. The german apple store only has the 8gb version. Should i try to order from a reseller then they will only post within the uk. iSo my question is - whats going on? Why are there no 16gb ipods to be (apparantly) had in Germany? Not launched yet? Patent infringement? Apple being very annoying?

Call Apple or an Apple Store in your city and ask them. Or do a Google search.

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............

How can I get an item that has the broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can put it on my ipod nano?

Question: how can I get an item in my itunes library, on my mac os 10.6.7 that has a broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can play it on my ipod? right now it won't let me, and it's very frustrating!!!! thanks

I might have misunderstood what you mean by the "broadcast icon," but if you are talking about an audio stream, then there is just no way you can convert a stream to MP3. What this would involve is either recording the stream, and then you would just be replaying the recorded audio on your iPod (is this what you are trying to achieve?), or reading the stream directly on your iPod, which an iPod nano does not support (it would need wireless connectivity).
Hope this helps

HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

My 6th generation ipod nano volume adjusts itself and turns down volume without me touching it. This is the second ipod on which this has happened. I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!

My ipod nano 6th generation has started changing the volume while music is playing. It doesn't matter whether I am running or sitting. It will turn volume down to zero in the middle of a song. This happened on my last ipod a few months ago and I returned it and got a new one. This is my second grey one. I don't want to have to return it again, but I might.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

I sent it via FedEx.
Call FedEx. They will be able to track their own packages. They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!
