7Th Generation Ipod Nano keeps rebooting

Hey everyone I just got my wife a nano for her birthday, but it keeps rebooting on songs. I cannot go for more than 5-10 minutes before the machine buzzes off and I see apple logo on my screen. Ive tried restoring, the secret menu by holding down home,power, and pressing the vol up and down on the 2nd black screen to check the nvram. passes. But still problems on numerous syncs and restores in-between, never in any other mode but playing mp3s..
she did not save my gift reciept nor the box, can we still get a working one without doing some sort of switch-a-roo at the store.
pretty bummed out here. Its was so sweet until it started zapping off and on.

You're lucky MachRc... same situation here... 7th gen stuck in reboot infinite loop. Was xmas gift for wife 18 months ago... "Geniuses" at Apple fiddled with it for 5 minutes, said it's dead and only option is BUY a new one. Then told me I should have bought Apple Care... COME ON, if your products won't last 18 months then you really have a problem.
My solution, pulled out the 10 year old Sony Walkman mp3 player, charged it up and threw the ipod POS in the garbage... My lovely wife is now happily listening to her 10 YEAR OLD Sony product without any problems.
So long Apple!

My 4th gen Ipod nano keeps getting stuck on the apple logo.

My 4th gen Ipod Nano keeps getting stuck on the Apple logo screen, this happens everytime I plug it in to charge. I plug it in, an apple logo comes up, and it stays like that the entire time its plugged in. To get it to unfreeze, i have to press random buttons and unplug and re plug in earbuds. After 20-25min of doing this it unfreezes and I come to find it has gotten little to no charge after being plugged in for hours at a time. Any one else have this problem, and if so what do you do?

This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

Ipod nano keeps turning on and off

My ipod nano keeps turning off and on automatically and when I push a button once its on then it freezes, and when I reset it then it starts turning on and off again....what do I do someone please help me

Hello Mo0nangel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
Updating iPod software
If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

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 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 keeps turning off mid song unless plugged into a power source

Hi,
I got the same problem, I just got it last night and charged it for more than 3 hours but with the same problem

2nd Gen. iPod nano keeps disconnecting

My 2nd Generation iPod Nano keeps disconnecting. It was working fine until I tried to delete everything, which did not work, so I resorted to clicking "Restore". The problem is that I am trying to sync podcasts only I keep getting a message: "The iPod...cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". This is very bizzare because I also realized the iPod Nano itself keeps giving a message also: "OK to disconnect" and goes into sleep mode. I am not sure if this is a settings issue...Help!
Note: The iPod is charged.

Ummm.. didn't you read the box or Apple website BEFORE you bought it?
You've made it through almost 3 large OS updates without complaint so I don't see how Apple wronged you.
This is your fault for not looking into this beforehand. There were major changes in OSX starting with X.3 that made it so that some software would not be compatible with the operating systems below that version. iTunes is such software.
* Your nano needs iTunes 7 to sync.
* iTunes 7 does not work is OS9, OSX.1, or OSX.2
Just like it won't work in Windows 98 or ME
An operating system made FOUR and a HALF YEARS ago can not be expected to support into perpetuity hardware that did not exist back then.
Your laptop works just fine, you have no problems upgrading cheaply to X.3 (you don't NEED X.4 despite your claims) and you can cut the pathetic comparisons to how "simple" windows makes it with anything.
He11, their own Zune isn't even supported by Vista.
I for one am glad the OS is updated in approximately 12-18 month intervals instead of allowing it to languish on its laurels. The gains in features are a good thing not a curse. If you want them people are free to upgrade at their discretion. No one is forcing you to upgrade the OS and no one made you buy the Nano. The requirements are all over the place and it was your job to look into it before buying it.

Why does my ipod nano keep shutting off?

My new Ipod nano keeps shutting off after about a minute when playing music. It is fully charged.

Hi, I had the same problem googled the problem & it said to make sure ear piece is in as far as possible , make sure no silver is showing on the jack, check out ifixit.com. mine now working ok.

My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug. It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted. You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

Ipod nano keeps randomly pausing.

Ipod nano keeps pausing mid song and it's not the headphones... I've tried different sets of headphones & even held them in so they were flush. Still keeps happening. Been listening with no issue for about 2 hours before it started happrning all of a sudden. sometimes it will play 10 second sometimes it will [lay a few minuts but it always eventually pauses itself. Any ideas?

I just received my brand new 7th Gen iPod Nano today, ordered directly from the Apple website, and I am experiencing the exact same issue. I have tried several diffent pairs of headphones and regardless, the iPod randomly pauses. I also noticed that on occasion if I press play the iPod will indicate that it is playing music however no sound comes out of the headphones. It seems pretty clear to me the headphone jack is faulty... I suppose I'll need to get on the phone and deal with the highly inconvenient process of exchanging it. Very disappointed.

Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

30g Ipod Video keeps rebooting

I just got the new Itunes 9.0 and synced my Ipod video as usual, but now it just keeps rebooting and is stuck on the black screen with the white apple.
I have tried (twice) going into disk mode, and restoring the Ipod, but it still has the same issue. I have also tried plugging it into a wall charger.
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advanced!

probably the next best thing to try is attempting to reset it while it is connected to a power source (like the PC). see:
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up

Ipod nano keeps speaking song title, how do i stop this?

my ipod nano 6th gen keeps speaking the song title despite the hints being switched to off, any help would be appreciated.

First, double check and make sure that VoiceOver is off. Check in itunes by clicking the "Configue Universal Access" button and making sure all checkboxes are unchecked.
Then, on the Nano, navigate to the accessibility settings menu and make sure it is off there.
Finally, at the bottom of the settings menu is the "reset settings" option. Do that, then check again.
If after all this it is still doing it, restore the Nano in itunes.
If it is still doing it after that, it is likely that there is some moisture either in your buttons on the device or in the buttons on your headset (if it has them).
