IPod Nano Hold Freeze

I have a Nano 4G which is in a locked position. To help it I have
A: Tried to reset it by sliding the hold button and pressing Play/Pause and Menu repaeadetly for minimum 10 seconds at a time.
B: Tried to reset it by sliding the hold button and pressing Select and Menu repaeadetly for minimum 10 seconds at a time (flat on the table - to hands - one finger from each)
C: Restarted my Mac
D: Downloaded the latest updater (11/27/05) and restored the nano
I have performed all of these many times. Further I have tried to revitalize it on windows eq.
What can I do?

Hope this link is helpful:

    i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Ipod nano hold key

    ipod nano hold key is not working. It keeps nano on hold. I tried to recover it through itunes, but it is still not working. What else could I do that will save me a trip to the service center? Thanks a lot

    did you solve this? I have the same problem. no matter how many times I toggle hold switch, hold stays on. can not reset as the menu/select buttons do not work (presumably because of "hold" being on).

  • IPod Nano is FREEZING!

    My iPod Nano is freezing... it is mainly used to watch vids, but there is music on it. Any help would be appreciated.:)

    Finally, people who have the same problem. My 3rd gen nano worked great with my factory chrysler ipod interface and my jensen clock radio with ipod interface. Up until last month...now the ipod just freezes and soon as I plug it in to either one. I did a reset, restore, update firmware, new songs, less songs, disk mode, manually manage, etc. Finally I sent it in for repair because it's still under warranty. Apple sent it back and said it's fine...nope!! Here's a video I took of it happening-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8zJKm0M5I (Sorry it's blurry).
    Apple, fix the problem or you're going to get really bad publicity!!

  • My ipod nano 3 freezes when i connect it to my pc?

    my ipod nano 3 freezes when i connect it to my pc, i have to reset it so it gets recognised. this is abit annoying, so is their anyway to fix this problem ?
    PS:I have ipod nano 4gb G3

    I have resolved this problem for me. I initially deleted and reinstalled iTunes and deleted any redundant programs which might have been creating a conflict (I have children who install all kinds of rubbish) Someone else had found a USB program conflict and I think my problem was around a conflict with the USB ports. I removed a printer connection which was (unusually) connected via a port next to the ipod connection and plugged the ipod in via a different port and bingo - all is well.

  • IPOD Nano is Freezing all the time.. -- Please Help

    Hello everyone. I have an iPOD Nano 4GB and everything was working excellent until these past two days, it freezes repeatedly. I would restart my iPOD Nano and when it goes to the menu, the Light is still on and I cannot move my click wheel to navigate at all. It just freezes on "Music" category on the iPOD Nano. I would restart it over and over and over and if I am lucky, it will work but then it will freeze. I have tried it plugging it on various USB ports with a Windows PC and my Powerbook and yet nothing.
    Please, if anyone has a solution to this, it'll be greatly appreciated.

    My iPod nano just locked up and I nad no idea what to do. Holding down buttons wouldn’t turn it off. Toggling the hold switch didn’t do anything either. It was in a stuck state where hold was turned on and none of the buttons would respond. Here’s the fix…
    Toggle hold on.
    Toggle hold off.
    Hold down the menu and middle button for a few seconds.
    The iPod nano should then “reboot” and voila!
    Update: Both times my iPod nano has frozen up it was when I had hold turned on and plugged it into the USB cable.

  • Ipod nano hold button

    my ipod nano is a new 4gb version. two weeks old.
    the hold button works intermittenly.
    This causes the ipod freezes up and the resets dont unlock the hold button even after i have moved it the unhold setting.
    These problems occur when i use the nano in the gym and have it hanging round by neck on the lanyard headphones.
    Question is do the machines in the gym (treadmills)affect the ipods ?
    or does the "sweet" cause it problems ?

    Perhaps when the iPod is juggling around, you're actually shaking up the nano's flash drive. This would cause it not to work so well.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod, though? For more info, check out this Support article here -> How to restore your iPod

  • What does the Ipod Nano hold exactly?

    I was just wondering if it held everything like the ipod original does? Will it hold files like the ipod use to or is it just for music and movies?

    The iPod nano is just a smaller, less capacious version of the iPod classic. There are no differences in capabilities.

  • Can the ipod nano hold movies

    Can ipod nano generation 6 hold movies?

    The third, fourth, and fifth generation iPod nanos can. The first, second, and sixth can't play movies, but can be used to transfer them between computers by using the iPod as an external drive.
    iTunes won't sync content to an iPod which can't use it.

  • IPod nano hold icon stuck!  What do I do?

    My iPod nano shows a lock icon on the screen, even after the hold button on the top of the iPod is moved to the unlock position, and I cannot access any iPod controls. How do I unlock the hold icon and allow the controls to be usable again?

  • Help! iPod Nano Screen Freeze Problem!

    Hello,
    I purchased my iPod Nano 4GB about a month and a half ago. A couple of minutes ago when I plugged it into my iMac the screen just froze.
    I've tried plugging it back in, turning it off, and everything. Nothing works! The screen stays lighted with one of my songs paused on the screen, even though the light is supposed to turn off in five seconds.
    Help me please!
    Thanks!

    I just found the solution to the problem!
    Connect the iPod to a computer. Switch the "Hold" button to the right, and then back to the left.
    Next, press and hold the "Menu" and Center buttons at the same time for six seconds.
    This should reset the iPod.
    It cured my frozen screen.
    Thanks for everyone's help! I think I'm going to buy the extended Apple warranty now, just in case.

  • How much music does a 7th generation ipod nano hold?

    I know you can't know for sure but if you have nothing other then music how much should it be able to store?

    You still can't tell for sure; the number of songs it will hold depends on the iPod's capacity as well as the length and bitrate of each song.

  • Approx how many songs will new ipod nano hold?

    My daughter has an older generation ipod touch and she has exceeded its storage capacity.  Do I need to go to the ipod classic or will the new nano work?

    The iPhone can indeed be used as an iPod - there's an app for that, preinstalled, imaginatively named "iPod".
    You can put music on the iPhone in exactly the same way you can with the iPod Touch - the iPhone really IS an iPod Touch, with a phone app.

    IMPORTANT - if your daughter has bought music directly on the iPod Touch, make sure to sync it to the computer first: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

  • How many songs can a 7 gen ipod nano hold

    i no its 16 gig but how many songs will that hold

    It varies depending on how much other data is on it, how long the songs are, and what bitrate they're encoded at.
