  • NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

    Hi Guys,
    I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have.
    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
    The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    How long was it "stuck?"
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • Downloaded Update Software now Ipod is not working - Please Help

    I downloaded Update Software onto Ipod and now Ipod is not working. It is stating "Itunes detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used in Itunes". Here's the deal I did that now the Ipod just blinks the circle with the line through it and says do not disconnect. Nothing happens. Has the new software corrupted my Ipod? Can anyone Help

  • 6th Generation iPod Nano Not Working

    So I purchased a 6th iPod nano just last month and had it sent to me via mail. I took it out of the packaging and had turned it on and charged it and it seemed to work so I threw away the packaging and receipt.
    However, I just tried putting music on it yesterday, and it will not work. I bought all of the music from iTunes and its in my library and the music works fine there, but then when I unplug my iPod, half of the time it says that I haven't synced it and there's no music on it, and the other half of the time the music is there, but the cover art is contorted and it will play one or two seconds of the song and then skip to the next.
    I tried messing with it for an hour and a half and its still doing this. Is there anything I can do in this situation? I'm extremely displeased and I need my iPod for a lengthy plane ride I'm going on.

    Hi aseda26,
    Are you using the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried resetting your iPod to factory settings? You can find directions to do this at the link below. This usually helps clear up any software bugs you might be having.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    If it still isn't working and you purchased it less than 30 days ago, I would encourage you to bring it back to your local Best Buy store so we can try to troubleshoot and exchange it for you if necessary.

  • IPod Nano Not Working In Car

    I have an ipod nano and if i am sitting at home the ipod works great thru the ear-buds, however if i walk out to my car and try to listen to it in my car thru the same ear buds it does not work at all. it shows it is playing, but no sound. as soon as i get out of the car it works again. Any help would be great.

    thatis really weird...you should be able to even though that is very unsafe because you need to be able to hear fire truck and police sirons...you can by an itrip from http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripnano/index.php or as a cheaper obtion get this... http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72802/wo/vl30tOP xBJ553x2N5WHxF40TTzS/2.SLID?mco=AFDE31D0&nplm=TA381LL%2FA

  • New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

    I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

    I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.

    # Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • 4th generation ipod nano not working

    All of the sudden my 4th generation, 8GB ipod nano isn't working. I had a 2004 G4 aluminum Powerbook that started to go so I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago. On my Powerbook, the screen all of the sudden went dark. I researched what might be the cause and found it to possibly be the inverter board. I bought the part and installed it to no avail. Which probably means it's the mother board... which is why I bought the new Macbook. Before the screen went dark, my left USB port and audio in was having problems (probably the mother board dying). I would always charge my ipod from that left USB port. Could this be why now it's acting up and not even recognizing it on my old Powerbook and new Macbook? When I plug it into either computer, the apple start up screen shows, then it shows the "Low Battery" screen, then it briefly shows my playlist, movies, etc. screen... and then goes back to the apple start up screen, and filters through this process as I keep it plugged in. I'm assuming the worst but hopefully there's a solution and I won't have to now buy a new ipod   Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    Anyone ever had this problem before?

  • Software required to communicate with the ipod is not working error, help!!

    I've had my iPod nano for a while now, and it was working fine until I installed the new iTunes. Now, when I plug my nano in, iTunes won't start. Then, I open up iTunes, and it says "The software required to communicate with the iPod is not properly installed. Please re-install iTunes so you can re-install the iPod updater" or something like that. I've researched this problem, and found other things such as:

    When I saw what Markinmadison told me to do, I got to the registry editor, and tried to change the permissions and tried to delete the iPodService.iPpod Manager, but it would say "Cannot delete iPodService.iPpod Manager. Error while deleting key"
    I have tried everything possible, and nothing has still helped. I would really appreciate help on this one.
    Thanks!

    to add, as I think this could be important and ive only just realised this, after running itunes diagnostics, it tells me that itunes helper is not running (but i checked and it seems it is) and no ipod is found (although as mentioned Windows recognises the drive).
    It also tell me that the most recent ipod connected was the ipod that I had before.

  • Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

    My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
    i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
    a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
    but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?

  • Ipod nano not working on my computer

    I have the new 6th gen nano, 8gb, and it wont work on my pc. i get the "itunes has detected an ipod but it cant be identified" error. im not sure thats exactly what it says, but im sure you know what I mean. i tried reinstalling itunes, uninstalling the ipod in device manager an letting windows reinstall. only thing i havent is uninstall everything apple/ipod related, and reinstall, such as bonjour, ipod updater, apple device helper, etc. seems liek a long process.

    Few suggestions:
    - Connect it directly to your computers USB port, not through a hub.
    - Disconnect all other USB items aside from your mouse and keyboard
    - If the above does not work, create a new user account on your computer. Restart in that account and connect and see if it works. If it does work, you know you have something installed under the other account that is getting in the way
    - If none of that works, do the FULL uninstall/reinstall thing. Here is a link to walk you through it:

  • Latest iTunes and iPod nano not working

    Hez guys, I'm trying to solve some problem between last iTunes version and my friend's Win Vista. Every time I plugged in my last generation iPod nano some error message appear saying something like Application is not working properly and application has to be shut downed. I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't help at all.
    Can you please help me?
    Thanx

    Try uninstalling the drivers,
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes
    Should work for you
