If you no longer have your original PC and you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. 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:

My PC Freezes when I plug in my IPod Nano!!! Please HELP!!!!

Hello, I just bought a refurbished ipod nano and everything works fine until I plug it into my computer I do not know what to do please help me.
P.S. If this has been brought up already I am sorry I didn't have time to search for it.
Thanx

Same problem. Im running on a sony vaio and everything just stops working until i unplug my ipod. I'm really getting annoyed with this. I even tried running it through winamp, and that froze even worse. Im able to close all the windows and whatnot, but when i try to terminate an application through task manager, it doesnt go away until i unplug my ipod, meaning i cant restart itunes without unplugging my ipod. then i unplug and it works fine. then i plug back in and it freezes up again!

ITunes/iPod nano & chinese song names [please help]

i own an iPod nano 4gb.
first question is is there a setting i can choose (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the default? anyone that has chinese songs with chinese characters will notice that the font as compared to english text is relatively lighter (not as bold). hence, it is harder to read.
second question concerns chinese music. all my songs are chinese and the song names, artist names, album names etc are in chinese characters. those files that appear with chinese characters by default on Windows appear fine on the iPod nano as well. however, most of my songs require a program called NJStar Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese characters - those that have chinese music should know what i'm talking about. without NJStar, the names just appear as random symbols in Windows. the problem is, all of the songs that require NJStar appear on the iPod nano as symbols despite the fact that they appear as chinese characters on iTunes when NJStar is turned ON. when NJStar is turned OFF, the names are just displayed as symbols on iTunes. irregardless of whether i update my iPod nano when NJStar is on or off, the names remain as symbols on the iPod nano and i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can fix this or perhaps it's just tough cookies XD
any information is much appreciated,
many thanks.

No.

Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese
characters -
I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

I am ready to burn my ipod nano right now! PLEASE HELP!

Ok so I accidentally de-connect my ipod nano from my usb port without closing the connection and now it is resetting itself every second. like the apple screen comes up every second and i am starting to freka out because i got this for christmas as a gift and i dont know what to do. PLEASE HELP!

Try leaving it plugged into your computer so it can charge than restore it with the ipod updater. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

7th generation ipod nano battery life? Please help.

I only seem to be getting about ten hours out of my new ipod nano.I've only had since October when it came out and charged it only about five times since then.I have calibrated the battery a few times,but it still has not improved.I only use my ipod for music and photos and I have the brightness setting on lowest.I don't use the equalizer or bluetooth.I have read that resetting it doesn't help.I really love my ipod,but I hope it's not defective 'cause it's engraved and I haven't bought the warranty for it yet.Does anyone else have this issue with the battery life? Any advice?

I guess i neglected to say that I did all tests from letting it completely die to letting it sit for 22 hours without touching it (who uses ipods without touching them for 30 hours?) and it died just after 22 hours. 3 times now it said connect to charge after 5 to 6 hours but one of the times i let it play without touching it after it said to charge and it went for another 5 hours then died? Any other hints or tricks or is this battery really garbage like others are saying!? If apple don't do a fix for this they will be getting hundreds of these ipods back because of the deception on battery life!

Ipod nano sound not right - please help!

Hi, I got an ipod nano for my birthday today, followed the instructions and loaded it all in, loaded all my CD's into itunes, loaded them all onto the nano, but when I finally came to listen to my songs, the sound is all weird. The vocals are very quiet and out of sync with the music, and the music sounds 'distorted'. Any ideas?? All help greatly received, I'm so sad!

Lianne:
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards. I assume as this is your first post that you have not used Macs or iTunes before. Have you listened to your music within iTunes on your computer? Does it sound OK there?
As a first step, I would check your settings in iTunes. Go to Preferences/Advanced/Importing and be sure the setting are at least 160kbs (High Quality).

Itunes and Ipod Nanos! HELP PLEASE!

In my family we have 4 ipod nanos. 2 of them are the older versions and are like the skinny ones and the other 2 are the more square looking ones. Well Itunes will no longer open on our computer. If I delete it from the computer and then re download it will I be able to get my songs that are on the ipods right now to the new itunes?
Thanks!

Uninstalling and reinstalling a new version of iTunes shouldn't affect the music folder on your computer (and in any event, you do have a back up right?).
However, if you find you need to transfer music from iPod to iTunes, there are various 3rd party programs that will do this.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
If you have music purchased from the iTunes store on your iPod, then you can transfer it from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.

Several iPod nano problems

i got my ipod nano yesterday but i'm already having problems.
as soon as i downloaded itunes it put all songs i had on my computer onto my ipod. no big deal. then i started importing some of my cds onto itunes and then onto my ipod. again no big deal. then i went ahead and bought three songs off of itunes and put those onto my ipod. then why the ipod was still hooked up to the computer i tried to listen to one of the songs i bought. it played for 21 seconds and then it went onto the next song. and that next song played out just fine. so i went to a song that had come off of one of my cds and it played until 1:21 and then went to the next song. and most other songs would cut off at various times whether the ipod was plugged or unplugged from the computer.
so frustrated i google ipod help and come upon the 5 r's that apple has set up. i reset my ipod. nothing changed. i restarted my computer. nothing changed. and i downloaded the updater and restored my ipod. so after i restored my ipod, i put all my songs back onto my ipod. and now none of the songs will play. i press music and artists or whatever and it shows the song as if it's going to play but it doesnt and it goes to the next song and shows as if its going to play and it doesnt.
can anyone please help me?

janey, my sympathies. I have had a few minis, a shuffle, and now a nano, and at various times each of them has gone nuts on me for no apparent reason. With a history of four machines, and three different computers (I am now using a brand new dell xps 200) I can't seem to get these guys to work correctly for very long. They are design marvels, but otherwise, from my vantage point, they stink. Call apple and they will replace it, and qwickly. Once they are bad, they stay bad.

IPod Nano Problem with Turning On

Right I've got a bit of a problem with turning on the nano. I know it works because when its on it's fine, but if its off for a while (i.e. 30 mins or more) and I go to press play or whatever, nothing happens. But if I press any of the buttons about 100 times it will come on and work fine.
Has anyone had this problem and know if there's anything I can do about it. It seems like the buttons don't work properly, but it can't be that because they work when its on.
Here's what I know it's not:
Battery (its full)
In need of a restore (tried that)
Reset (tried that)
In need of new software (just put the latest on)
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Oh also, completely off subject just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, how do you do backwards deletes on a mac (i.e. what the 'del' button does on a PC)?

AliasailA, you are kidding, right??
You cannot use someone else's serial number or Apple Care Plan--it doesn't work that way.
I noticed you had another post that said the mini was given to you and has a "sad face icon" and out of warranty. Hummmm.
You really have to send that mini in for repair/replacement or consider it a lost cause. Maybe it is time to buy an iPod Nano for yourself.

Impossible Ipod Nano problems:1-syncing issues, 2-iTunes won't work at all

My ipod nano started with saying my playlists cannot be synced due to the fact that "no playlists exist"...when they are all obviously there in iTunes.
Then I uninstalled QuickTime & iTunes...then reinstalled them... my ipod would only recognize the Jessica's Ipod Selection playlist.
Then I deleted that, like before when I made my other playlists, in the hope that my other playlists would work
Then it was saying the thing about how my playlists won't sync because they don't exist..again.
Then I reinstalled itunes, + quicktime again..then installed them. Now it is saying "The File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Please, can someone help me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jess

There are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :

Or there's this one which I've also found useful but 32 bit XP only : http://www.revouninstaller.com/
You'd be doing the forced uninstall which specifically to get program left overs.
For a free 30 day trial there's also this but I haven't tested it as I have the first two : http://download.cnet.com/Total-Uninstall/3010-2096_4-11117407.html?tag=mncol

Can't update the songs in a 7th Gen. iPod nano! Help!

Okay, I've been having problems with my 7th Gen iPod nano and I'm getting tired of this. A few days ago, I had a virus in my computer (the iPod wasn't hooked up at the time), and I had to restore everything in my computer. I downloaded iTunes again and when I plugged my iPod in the computer, the songs in my library are updated, but when I unplug the iPod nano, the songs in my playlist show songs that I had previously listened too a few weeks before the virus. But, now every time I plug it in to update the songs, my library on the computer updates, but the songs in the iPod still show the same list of songs from weeks ago. It doesn't show any sign of being updated. Plus, I looked up on the computer to see how to unfreeze the songs, and it tells me to hold the button for a few seconds and wait for the Apple Logo, I do that, but I don't see any Apple Logo. It doesn't seem to restore anything. Is my iPod not working now?
And I know that it's not an iPod nano, but I'm having the same problem with my 5th Generation iPod. I don't know what is going on, but I can't seem to update my 5th Generation iPod either.
Can someone help me with this? I don't know what else to do. I'm wondering if I need to buy new iPods, but I don't really want to spend the money to buy new iPods unless I REALLY need too.
Thanks,
Raven

Yes. My dad did a system restore and wiped everything out, and then reinstalled the computer. What do you mean to check my sync settings? Sorry, but whenever something happens to my ipods, I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do for them. If I can't get the ipods fixed, what's the next option?
Thanks,
Raven.

**** iPod Nano- CASE HELP! ****

I simply have a question concerning an iPod Nano case. This case that I am referring to flips open to reveal the iPod inside. Now, to keep that flap closed, there is a magnet. I am just wondering if having a magnet that close to the iPod Nano could possibly cause any sort of damage. Thanks in advance for your help. =)

I had a look at this case sounds good, but when checked it out on the web, saw this review.
I tend to agree, if doesn't protect the screen what use is it.
Another thing to add about the review, sounds a little like they were promoting this web site, when checking it out, did have a review but has been archived, and they expected to buy $$ to read the cramy opinion.
If you click RainDayMagazine you notice they only posted on this topic and identical in each stream, purely promoters not ipod users helping others. Although does help find out about cases, finds all the posts on the subject.
I stick clear of this case. One last thing, you cant see your ipod either through the metal finish of this case.
Google search on iKeychain case:-
There have been a lot of rumblings in the Apple community about how easily the iPod Nano’s screen gets scratched so I am surprised that iLounge rewarded this case with an 8 even though it doesn’t offer any protection to the screen. It’s a very stylish case and the keychain aspect of it makes it very chic, but if I can’t read the screen due to it being scratched up then the case serves me no purpose.
You have to assume that because this case fits on a keychain it will be surrounded by keys and from what I have learned through extensive research over the past 17 months is that keys scratch stuff, .....
Who be stupid enough to run over their ipod really, please.

Ipod Nano problem - always restoring itself

Can anyone please help me? I bought my ipod just under a year ago (2nd Nov) but Apple says its out of warranty.
1st gen ipod nano 4gb, windows XP Pro, itunes (v7.0.1.8) and ipod (v1.3)
When i connect it to iTunes, and transfer music to it, if switches itself off and says 'file cannot be found' or something like that. then when it reconnects to itunes, it has just lost all the music i transfered to it! This has happened about 6 times in the last few weeks.
I have tried all of the following:
reinstall itunes
new usb lead
restore ipod
update ipod and itunes
reboot PC
reboot ipod
cry lots lol
I am going to be so gutted if my ipod is broken, and I cant work out what else to do.
Please someone help me - also if i have receipt for purchase of ipod, will apple believe it is still in warranty?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What kind of noise are you getting? If the sounds were a clicking kind of sound:
When clicking and selecting something while on your iPod, it is natural that it sometimes makes some clicking sounds, as it is accessing the hard drive, so it can play a song, for example.
If the clicking sounds seem to be especially rythemic, that isn't good.
The first thing to do is reset your iPod.
Also, see this link; the Five R's may be worth a try:
The Five R's
If you could describe the noise for us, that would be good.
I hope this helps.
