IPod nano issues..please advise..

My nano has started to give me some problems. There has been two instances in which I was listening to my nano and it unexpectedly performed a reset (music turned off, apple logo displayed on screen). I was not touching anything both times that it happened.
To make things worse, I connected my nano to charge overnight and when I woke up this morning the charge screen was frozen. I could not control the nano. I had to perform a reset and then I regained control. However, the battery was only half-charged.
Any suggestions? Should I return this or are there other steps I should perform to troubleshoot?

I don't know of anything else to suggest. Do you live near the store you purchased it from? Or would you need to send it in?

I would like to buy another 6th generation iPod nano. Can anyone advise me where I can do this in Canada?

Sixth generation or older - only the current generation in the Apple store has the lightening connector.

IPod Nano Issues, Please Help

I purchased my nano on November 18 and havn't had problems until two days ago. Two days ago, it stopped responding to the clikc wheel, I could only turn it on with menu and when I had to hold and unhold it to turn it off. Yesterday it started working again and I was ecstatic. Everything was going great until it started happening. Now, periodically it will stop responding to teh clickwheel. and I have to press Play at the verry bottom of the wheel, the most bottom part of it I can and that sometimes makes it start working.
I also have version 1.1.
What do you think I can do?
And yes, I've resetted/rstored.

its notthe update
here is wats new
1. holding menu will take you to the main menu instead of activating or deactivating the backlight
2. lyrics and album art staying on screen and not disappearing after 10 seconds
3. Apple Radio Remote support
4. Line-out problem, occasionally when going from headphones to line-out, there would be no sound.
5. The 'Alarm' feature has been overhauled, easier to set the time, and a little bell icon is displayed next to the 'Alarm' menu item when it is set.
6. 'Screen-lock' has also been changed, slightly different interface, the numbers are in sunken boxes as opposed to the red glow. And a new warning is given telling you to hook your Nano up to your comp if you forget your code.
7. There was a problem with turning off, if you scrolled back or forward through a playlist/album, back to the main menu, sometimes it would not turn off.
8. The song title is in bold above the lyrics when you go to the lyrics screen
9. itunes opens almost instantly (within a second or 2) with the ipod showing. Before, this used to take 5-10 seconds, maybe more.
10. Reduced lag, before, when scrolling and clicking quickly through menus and songs, had some 'slow down', this is gone now.
11. Before the update I noticed a lag when I would skip songs, the next song would come on but the tags would have a slight lag on them and that has been fixed as well.

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

CD, DVD and ipod nano issues

I just bought a new iPod nano- the first I have ever owned. I installed the iTunes software and that works okay. I plugged in the nano to the computer and the computer recognizes the nano, but iTunes does not. When I open iTunes, I get the following error message: "iTunes Setup Assistant. Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I have tried reinstalling iTunes several times and it still won't work. I did install the software on my brother's computer and it worked fine, but I can't use that computer on a regular basis. Please help!!!! Thanks!

hiya!
"Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
for some advanced techniques for dealing with that message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, you could try:
reboot and repair
reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of itunes. go to your Add/Remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and select "repair".
... if no joy with that:
reinstall the itunes drivers for importing and burning
you can find them here. if you're on a 32-bit system, use the first link on the page:
GEAR drivers
if you've got Norton Ghost installed, read the instructions very carefully. if you still run into trouble with Ghost, see:

IPod Nano troubles, please help

I'll try to explain this problem to the best of my ability, this has been an ongoing problem since my sister got her iPod Nano:
Me and my sister both got iPods for Christmas, her a Nano and myself a Video, now this isn't about me, my iPod works with my computer (thankfully), but my sister's Nano does not work with her computer. The only reason she has music is because she hooked it up to mine and got my music (a process so annoying to me it's hard to explain, and no, before it is suggested I am not going to add her music to my computer, add it to my library, hook up her Nano, give her her music, and then undo that whole process afterwards. Also I am going off to college next year and won't be able to do that all the time).
Anyway, so the problem appears to be that Windows does not recognize her Nano. I follow the instructions exactly like I did to use my iPod, I install the newest software (iPod updater and iTunes) and then put music into iTunes and then plug in her Nano, and I get a very strange noise. If you can imagine the two noises commonly heard, two beeps, one low and one high when you plug in a piece of hardware, and one high and one low when you unplug it, think of this noise as three, very quick low beeps. I do not know what this noise means, but it appears to mean "we know you plugged something in, but we don't know what the heck to do." iTunes at this point does not automatically update the iPod, and when I go into iPod Updater, the message is "plug in an iPod to begin" (although one is plugged in).
Originally I thought the problem was with her USB drives, although they are USB 2.0 as recommended. I called an Apple service representative (actually a few, only one giving me anything close to a reason for the problem), and upon checking the Device Manager the representative told me that "VIA" USB controllers are not compatible with the Nano. I did not find this likely, but I accepted it as the reason and she has since gone without an updated music selection in her Nano.
Recently my sister purchased a PCI USB card to put into her computer, which I installed (with difficulty, hard to find the drivers). We again tried to use the Nano with no luck. These new USB controllers are "NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controllers" also 2.0, according to the packaging.
I have since reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater to their most recent versions and reinstalled the USB ports twice, with no better results. Currently I am at the Device Manager and it shows it "recognizes" the iPod, under "Other Devices" (which has a yellow question mark as the icon) and the iPod tab itself also has a yellow question mark as the icon, but this yellow question mark has a smaller yellow circle with an exclamation point ("!") inside it. I attempted to use the "Add New Hardware" wizard to "install" the iPod, but at the point where it looks for drivers it says it can't find any.
Please help, I would be greatly appreciative of any information concerning:
-My sister's USB ports and if they are the problem
-What the "three beeps" noise means when I plug in the Nano
-Where I can find "drivers" (if they exist) for the Nano so the computer recognizes it
-Any other ideas/suggestions that could be of help
Thanks in advance! I hope someone else out there can answer my problem!

hiya!

Windows Vista iPod Nano Issues

I just bought an iPod Nano 8GB today and when I tried to connect it to my Windows Vista System after installing iTunes, I get an "Add new Hardware" wizard asking me to install the driver for the iPod which obviously doesn't work.
Of course, I've tried the 5Rs several times and none of them work. Asking here is my last resort.
I know there are currently issues with Vista but clearly this isn't one of those listed under the article on the site. So I was wondering if this is only specific to my PC.
Thanks in advance to whoever who can help.

try what I posted here and report back

IPod nano issue

Hello everyone on the Apple Discussions!
Well Basically I brought an iPod nano for christmas, about a month later their was a problem with the screen (pixel issues) Sent the iPod back to Apple, they replaced it... but after I came back from my trip to france so didn't have anything to listen to on the 3hour train journey
The new iPod's been fine until last week where it just completley stopped working for no apparent reason, it was completley dead. I'm going to greece soon and the iPod probally won't be back by then...
I've allways been carefull with my iPod and allways encouraged my friends to get Apple products and allways respected Apple but when I tryed to phone technical support (UK) I got put through to Apple US support and the wrong department. So at the moment i'm really an unhappy customer...
Would it be possible to refund the iPod nano to get an iPod video (i'd pay the difference) they just look more robust and hold more songs.
Any help will be highly aprechiated.

Have you tried holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset your iPod?

ITunes+QuickTime installation from CD of iPod nano Issue

During installing the s/w from CD. an error regarding QT was displyed (something to do with files) and later the installation was over. When iTunes is launched get an error "iTunes have encountered problem and needs to be closed". and it asks whether you need to send the report to Microsoft.
Uninstalled iTunes+QT and tried again but no success. Also tried installing the s/w downloaded from apple website did not get QT installation error but still getting the same MS error. After clicking on the error report, the error signature part shows following information.
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.1.3 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
Also tired to find simlar issue on this forum but no luck and hence posting this message.
Would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance.

After reading certain posts I was able to resolve this issue today morning. I have been working on this since yesterday since my new ipod nano was delivered, so about for 15+ hours on and off.
The problem started when I tried to install s/w from CD. Hence thought of downloading the s/w from the website. That also did not solve the problem. Then started looking at discussions where lot of posts mentioend the similar issue during the same time frame. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Also went back a week to have my desktops savepoint restored. But no luck.
Hence when today I found a posting on this site about downloading standalone quicktime, followed that path and what you see, after installing standalone quicktime, iTunes got loaded, was able to see my new ipod nano in itunes and have already uploaded songs on it.
So whats the lessons learned. Apple still needs to come over the hump of making USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE ( its that what APPLE is known for?).
Certainly I never thought that it will be such an exercise to have it installed.

So confused - itunes/ipod/iphone issues - please help!!!!!

Hi everyone
I'm sure that these questions have been answered before, but having looked around I'm getting more and more confooozed Can you help me?
I have a 30gig ipod with about 4,000 songs on. I have a 2 week old 16g 3G iphone with about 1,000 songs on and a number of bought apps. Both of these devices were synced to itunes on a Sony Vaio laptop running XP. Due to a "falling of the table" incident the Vaio has died!! I have replaced it with a Dell Inspiron running XP Pro.
My girlfriend has an ipod nano with about 1,000 songs on it. She was synced to a separate itunes account on our desktop computer. This computer is about to die too. (yeah 2010 has be a techno-nightmare so far!!)
I have backed up her itunes folder to a jump drive, but previously only backed up my ipod music i.e not the itunes folder just the music subfolder(can't think why??!) to the same jump drive.
Sooooo:-
How do I get my old itunes library back on the Dell??
I enabled Disk Use on my ipod, so can I restore my itunes library from my ipod to the Dell?
How do we run 2 separate ipods and itunes accounts on 1 machine?
Can I sync my iphone on the new machine? If, so will I lose my Outlook contacts etc. and any apps I've bought?
Please help if you can.
Many thanks

Charging iPod nano issues

I have no problem updating my iPod nano. I connect easily and iTunes opens and updates the iPod. When I initially connect, the charge signal comes on. However, after updating the iPod stops charging - even though it is still connected. The only way I can find to get it to start charging is to disconnect and reconnect a couple of times and it will eventually work. This usually causes iTunes to freeze on me but at least it starts the iPod nano charging. Is there some reason why the iPod nano would not continue to charge?

u could also try getting a dock or a wall charger.
i suppose, but i shouldn't need to. it's frustrating that the PC does charge the iPod - I just need to try several times and every time it works is when iTunes freezes up.
it does charge until the update is complete so it's almost like the completion of the update is telling the iPod that it doesn't need to charge any more also.....

HT1320 Ipod nano issues

I Have a ipod nano 6th gen. It is stuck on a black screen, despite trying; to connect to itunes,charge,reset etc..
when it is plugged in to charge it almost immedialty starts to get hot and continues to get warmer in temp.
suggestions ?

Hello o0st,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
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.
Have a nice day,
Mario
