IPod nano issues restoring/holding charge?

My ipod nano needs to be restored nightly and is running out of charge without being used, any suggestions?

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?

IPod Nano won't hold charge, play or sync

Hi all,
been having issues with my 6th gen iPod Nano recently.
When charging, it will hold charge for a small amount of time but no more than an hour even after being left overnight.
When clicking on the radio app it doesn't recognise headphones are plugged in.
When trying to play a song, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the scrubbing bar remains at 0 seconds. If you scrub to later in the track it says it is playing but does not advance.
When connecting to a computer it freezes and rarely pops up in iTunes.
I have tried restoring it, charging from full and accessing the menu by pressing the volume + & - buttons, but now all this does is bring up a white screen which says 'ok to disconnect'.
I'm out of ideas, but would love to hear anyone elses suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt

It depends on how you are using the Nano. Otherwise, no. If you feel as though this is an issue, schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and explain the situation to them.

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.

If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

Ipod Nano Not Restoring??

Hi,
My ipod nano wont restore. Whenever I click restore to factory settings it says:
"There was a problem downloading the iPOD software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found.
I tried to reformat it and it says that Windows was unable to reformat the ipod.

Hi Jake&jose,
A "requested resource" error message when restoring an iPod usually is referring to the iPod, not the firmware download (although some errors may refer to this).
So, first, try forcing your iPod into disk mode, by following the instructions here:
Putting iPod into disk mode
With the iPod in disk mode, connect it to your computer, and see if you can sucessfully restore it in iTunes.
If that doesn't help, then try these five steps (nnot the last one, of course):
The Five Rs
Also, sometimes this can be an issue with your USB drivers. Make sure that they are up-to-date, and in some cases, you may need to reinstall your USB drivers.
For details, see this article:
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
Do you have success with any of those things?

Hi, got the same problem as kerry221. The proposal given by stevejobsfan0123 did not solve it.
Additionally iMac does not shut down after closing iTunes. Need to manually shut down the iMac.

TA44551 Apple ipod nano 6th generation wont charge on pC, mains or car.

My ipod nano 6th generation wont charge, either through mains, car or computer USB charger. Had it one month, bought it from Amazon. Just dead, wont wake up. When it had charge tried master reset etc. still not able to charge or recognised/charge on PC

It'll need to charge for a while before it will turn on. Leave it to charge for a couple of hours, then try again.

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 another cable
- 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.

IPod Nano 6th Generation Not Charging/Holding Charge

Hi.
My iPod Nano 6th generation will not charge or hold a charge. I plug it in and it will turn on for about 30 seconds or less and then die. It will then continue to turn on and die unless I unplug it in which case it will die and not turn on. Any advice/suggestions and/or help finding what is wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

hold down the enter button for 5 secs then plug into wall while still holding it down.

IPod Nano 5G Restore Loop Issue

I've seen the infinite issues with different iPods (classics and nanos) stuck in the restore loops and how possible fixes might happen. Everything checks out fine from diags mode. Disk mode can sync just fine to files, etc. What else can be done to fix the issue?
The Hardware (and SW):
MBP 3,1 OSX 10.6.6
WinXPPro SP3
iPod Nano 5G 16gb
iTunes 10.1.2
The issue:
the infinite loop of restore
What has been tried:
Restore basic mode from iTunes
Restore in disk mode from iTunes
Restore in DFU mode from iTunes
Drive letter changing on a Windows XP Pro SP3 box using iTunes

Hello mvfx,
What other USB devices do you have attached to your computer? If there are any at all, try temporarily disconnecting them to see if that makes a difference as they sometimes cause driver and drive letter conflicts.
Another option might be to simply reformat the iPod using the tools provided by Windows. For instructions on how to reformat your iPod, see this article.

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.....

Ipod nano with funky car charger

As a very stupid test I plugged my ipod into a gimmick car charger to USB connector that is supposed to plug into my USB powered coffee mug. Suprisingly, the Ipod Nano heated up instantly. Observing that the ipod probably should not "heat up" I unplugged it after less than 15 or 20 seconds of "charging" the battery.
The Ipod looked ok though - in fact my iTrip was broadcasting the iTunes just fine. Because I still needed a fresh charge for the pressing road trip ahead of me, I then took the Ipod back inside to my laptop and proceeded to charge it there for an hour or less. I unplugged the iPod and found it was still working, but it was still slightly warm to the touch! Bad sign I suppose...
An hour or so later in the car, I found the iPod would no longer turn on. It had been off since I'd been charging it on the laptop. But now it was dead and the 10 second trick gave no response. 5 days later it is in this same state. I waited days before trying to plug it back into my laptop to "recharge". It appears to be very dead.
Has anyone found similar experience, and does it sound like this is simply an issue where I've blown the battery? Or is this more serious and a $200 mistake? (Ipod warranty ended December 2006).
Thanks for any help out there and notes of sympathy!

I experienced the same problem. I have a car charger that is not Apple. My ipodwas working fine until I used it. The ipod became very hot and would no longer hold a charge. I sent it away twice and still nothing worked. I had to buy a new ipod.

When i connect my ipod nano 2nd gen, it charges but does not appear in windows or itunes. I tried the reset but it didn't work. how can i fix this?

I bough a 4g Ipod nano 2nd gen for my cousins birthday. When i plug it into my computer it charges but does not show up in windows or itunes. I tried reseting it, reinstalling itunes, everything the site said but it didn't help. I am trying to sync songs to it for my cousin, but it won't work with it not connecting. Could the wire have something to do with it or is there a bigger problem here?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
