IPOD Nano memory keeps erasing

I used my IPOD Nano just yesterday and it worked fine. I put it away overnight and didn't touch it. I went to use it the next day and there was nothing on it. No big deal I thought, I will just put the songs back on from my computer. So I hooked up the IPOD and transfered the songs. All the song showed they were on the IPOD. However, when I ejected my IPOD from the computer it still shows no songs at all. The wierd thing is it still shows I have used 1.36GB of my 2GB total. Can anyone help fix this problem?
Thanks,
Jared

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iPod updater

My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

My Ipod NANO 4gb keeps turning off at random times

My Ipod NANO 4gb keeps on turning off at random times. The battery is fully charged, and i've updated the IPOD and ITUNES. What can I do?

Check the sleep option, maybe it being hit accidently. Maybe reset your setting on ipod, check background setting. Seems strange.Maybe use the hold button to lock ipod.

Ipod nano memory issue?

I have an ipod nano 4gb. The capacity is listed as 3.7 gb which I understand, but it says only 3 gb is available. Even when everything is erased, it still says that. I can load up to 3gb of songs, and then no more. Also, whether I load on 25 songs or 250 songs,it still says 3.0 gb available. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Windows XP

Sorry, one more thing... I can only load on about 2.4 gb of songs, or about 520 or so. So I can't even load on the 3 gb that it says is available.

IPod Nano Memory

I have deleted everything on my IPod Nano and it's still showing 1.61 GB used. Does anyone know why that is and how I can change it?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You are not alone, since this is quite a common problem.
Have you tried restoring your iPod?
Restoring your iPod
After tring restoring your iPod, and it doesn't work, them try formatting your iPod trhough "My Computer". This has worked for posters on here (and elsewhere) to get their iPods to quite displaying fake memory usage.
NOTE: If for some reason you can't resotre your iPod, then don't try this or start it up until you can restore your iPod, since a restore is needed after this process.
Plug in your iPod.
Go to "My Computer".
Find your iPod's listing there (typically "E" or sometimes "F".)
Right-click on it, "Format".
After this, be sure to restore your iPod again (see the link above).
I hope this helps,

Itunes showing my ipod nano memory as -19.48 gb?

I suddenly developed this problem on connecting my ipod to my comp today. The ipod nano was automatically renamed "198", and the memory capacity as shown by itunes was erraneous. Teh result is taht i cant copy a single song into my ipod anymore.
strangely, this seems to be an itunes related issue...as the ipod works fine on anotehr comp. However, i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, updated it, restored my ipod, changed the usb ports, tried both usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 ports, scanned my comp for possible virri and spyware throughly, and even attempted some registry tinkering without any help.
Anybody could provide a clue as to what sort of problem this is?

IT seems another helpful user replied to a similar query. Apparently, windows xp's horrible disk management function messed itunes up by assigning the ipod a drive letter already in use (h:, was mapped to a network drive).
Its not the first time this has caused problems, as i use a digital media center style comp with 1tb space, and have a dedicated swap drive as well. This kicked me out of my network the last time i got a new hdd, wasting hours spent in frustrated repair. **** bugs.
anybody else who has this problem, please see this:

Ipod nano memory glitch?

Hi all. i've just bought an ipod nano 2gb and its barely a day old. being the excited me, i've transfer songs like 5 times, ie connecting and disconnecting the adapter from the nano.
on the last transfer, i forgot to click on the eject button and disconnected the adapter from my nano. the result was that my whole songs disappeared and i thought then i'd still have my 2gb back. but no. apparently, what it appears is that i've only 148 songs left to upload. (2gb is 500 songs). so, the memory is used up but my songs aren't there!
so, what happen? can i get my 2gb back w/o goin down to the applecentre? help? thanks

This happened to my nano a while back, you should restore your ipod. Connect it to you computer, then open the ipod updater, go to restore. This will delete all of your songs from your ipod, install the latest software update, and return your ipod to factory settings, hopefully resolving the glitch p.s just remeber to eject before unplugging next time

6th gen iPod Nano volume keeps going down on its own

It's been getting worse lately. It started happening towards the end of each of my run, but now even when I leave it on my desk, I can see the volume just move down on its own to zero. It is very unreliable and during long runs, I have to keep battling with the volume (it goes down on its own, and I have to bring it back up again). Shutting the iPod Nano off and turning it back on doesnt help.
Anyone else encounters this? What should I do? My iPod Nano is about 1 year old.

This issue is usually the result of the Nano coming into contact with moisture (likely from your workouts). Try putting the iPod into an uncooked bag of dried rice and leaving it sit for a few days. This should absorb any moisture in the iPod.
After the few days are up, give it another whirl. If the problem persists, connect the Nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
Otherwise, the damage may be permanent, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.

IPod nano 4Go keeps conecting and disconnecting

Hi, my iPod nano 4Go kept connecting and disconnecting from the main unit(threw USB2 cable), then it started booting other and other again. What kind of a problem is this? Now the batteries are empty... (the iPod is 4 months old).
Ercorr.

My 80 GB iPod Classic is having the same problem -- when I connect it to the computer, it syncs as it should and then when I attempt to disconnect it, it starts syncing again. It does this no matter whether I disconnect through iTunes or through the desktop (i.e., dragging the iPod icon to the dock to eject it). This never happened before a software update last week. I forget the update but it was something to do with the Intel processor, I think. My date and time was also screwed up but when I woke up this morning that was finally ok.

IPod Nano Resets and Erases All Data

I've had a bear of a time with my Nano ever since I installed iTunes 7. Before then, everything was fine.
After I installed 7.0, iTunes would not recognize the iPod. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps......twice......and it still didn't work. So I reinstalled iTunes 6 and it then recognized the iPod. Then, whlie putting my songs back on the iPod, the iPod reset and I lost all of the songs. Then it didn't recognize the iPod again and I had to restore the iPod.....twice. Since then, as I'm putting songs onto the iPod, it randomly seems to reset itself, I need to rename the iPod, and all the songs are gone again. This time, it happened three times.
Do I just have a bad iPod? Is there a way to talk to a person at Apple or is the service requests all on-line?
As an iPod novice, any help would be appreciated.

Still nothing? Come on guys... what kinda help community is this!? =/
