IPod Nano resets every time I select Music

My iPod Nano is rebooting every time I pick the Music menu. All other menus work and if I press the right arrow key from the main menu it will play music but I can't select the music menu.
I tried resetting. I guess the next step is to erase but I'd like to avoid all that.

just try a restore, u have the music in itunes so it is safe.

Ipod nano resets when I click on music, and exit podcasts.

As the subject say's, on my 4GB black, ipod nano when I click on the music tab it resets, bringing up the apple logo and goes back to the main menu. Same thing happens when I exit the podcasts menu, I can listen to a podcast but when I exit podcasts and go back to the main menu it resets bringing up the apple logo again and going back to the main menu. I can do every thing else view Photos go into the Extras tab, Settings and even Shuffle Songs which play fine. I can enter and exit these with no problems. When I plug it in to my computer it's fine even in itunes it's fine I can play anything and do anything. I did a restore of the software already and it fixed nothing, I’m all out of ideas.
Please help thanks.

I think I figured it out. Podcasts are the culprit, if you set up you your iPod nano to automatically update podcasts and it downloads them on to the iPod, it causes an error in the iPods software, causing it to restart when you click on music or leave the podcast menus. So I changed the settings to manually update podcasts. Putting my podcasts manually onto the iPod, they show up in the Podcasts playlist under my iPod nano menu (which shows automatically) in iTunes. This is when the error starts, when I undock my iPod nano and go to music sure-enough it restarts, I plugged it back into my computer and deleted the podcasts, undocked it and it was working fine. I converted the podcasts to AAC and then put them on the iPod. They did not show in the Podcasts playlist, they just show as normal songs, and when I undock it it works fine. Now I know that they don’t have to go into that playlist and that I can create my own smart-playlist. But it should not do something like this. I’ll make a new thread about this problem.
Thank you all for the help.

VERY unstable iPod Nano (crashes every time in iTunes) plz help!

Hi Folks,
As I wrote earlier in this thread, the iPod nano I bought for my GF (and the one before that) suffered from the 'updater bug'. At least I know now how to revive it, thanks to the great tips of a few users here, but it's a nuisance that the nano(s) tend to crash every time I want to add some music to it via iTunes. Not to say it's absurd for a mp3 player in this category to have so many bugs apparently.
I looked up the computer's system log, and it appears it registers a 'disk' warning, logged as 'event 51' every time the iPod is connected to my notebook. If it's not connected, it never gives such a warning. When you click on the warning it states: "fault discovered on appliance \Device\Harddisk1\D during a file exchange operation". [NB: my OS is in Dutch, so I translated it as best I could, it may not be the exact text it'd be in English.]
What usually happens is that the iPod 'freezes' at the moment I manually add songs to it. Subsequently I get the familiar "use iTunes to reset your iPod" message on the nano's screen, and I have to go through the whole formatting/reset procedure again, as described in the other thread I mentioned above. I had some succes adding music with the 'auto sinc' option, but nevertheless, it crashed again when I wanted to update the music on the nano, still using the 'auto sinc'.
So every which way I want to add music, the iPod crashes! Only after a full format/restore operation it sometimes accepts music, but as soon as I want to add/update the music on the iPod nano again it crashes...
As said, this behaviour is very annoying as well as time consuming, and I'm on the verge of returning the iPod to ask my money back. But as it's a gift, I'd rather see it working like it's supposed to work.
Many thanks in advance for your help, it'd be most welcome!
Some facts and figures:
- The nano is updated to V 1.2 using updater 2006-06-28 -
- iTunes is updated to V 6.5 -
- I use a Travelmate 800 notebook with Win XP Pro [fully updated except SP2]
- I did try connecting the nano to different USB ports (3) with no notable difference.

Brand new Nano freezes on songs. Have to reset every time I use it.

I bought a new 2 Gig Nano last month. Nearly every time I play music, it freezes before starting the first song. I have to reset it (holding down the center and top buttons) to get it started again. After the reset, it works fine.
Any suggestions? Should I bring it back to the Apple Store?

Try a restore first.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

I recently purchased a 7th Gen iPod nano which I have downloaded my music to. However, when I try to play this it is showing on the iPod as play but I am getting no sound through. I have checked the headphones and reset it. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a 7th Gen iPod nano which I have downloaded my music to. However, when I try to play this it is showing on the iPod as play but I am getting no sound through. I have checked the headphones and reset it. Any ideas?

Haha I had the exact same problem. Once I had tried it like 4 different pairs of headphones i was ready to give my iPod back. Then I tried pushing the headphones in further and proceeded to kick myself. I seems a lot of people have the same problem, post it on here and realise a few minutes later.

Imovie 09, ver. 8.0.6, crashes every time I select the titles button in the music, titles, photos, maps, section it crashes consistently. Apart from that it runs very stable?

iMovie 09 version 8.0.6, consistently crashes every time I select the titles button in the lower right box (can't remember what it's called). Everything else seems to work fine, very stable. I recently had to convert some footage from another camera to be able to see it in iMovie, however, it was starting to "unexpected" quit, on me even before that though only 50% of the time. Now it crashed every time I try to add titles. I select the title button, everything hangs for a second, looking like maybe it will not quit, then I might get a color wheel, or not, before it kicks me out. Everytime now! Can't fiinish the end of the movie!

An alternative solution....for now. If you copy the files to your desktop or in any other folder you want them (it's temporary), you can still import them in iMovie. Just click Archive, Import, Movies and search for the folder you put your files in. I did it several times with success, that means no error! Now I can use my files and edit them in iMovie. You can delete the files on the desktop, since iMovie has copied the files into the iMovie library.
Another possibility is drag and drop the files from your desktop directly into an event. iMovie will copy the files into the library. For both options I am not sure if analysation for stability en recognising persons had been done while importing, but I guess you can do that later on.
Do not make the mistake of importing them in Aperture or iPhoto, drag and drop it an iMovie-event and delete it in Aperture/iPhoto... You will only hear the audiostream, you will see miniatures in iMovie, though your videostream is gone. That's how I lost the first video of my second daughter .
Until there's a good solution or update from Apple it works for me. I hope it does for you too!

Ipod nano 3rd gen won't accept music

So, I just bought an ipod nano 3rd generation off of Craigslist.
Now, the guy said that the iPod worked. When I got it home, I was looking through the music already on it when it froze. I don't know if this caused my problem, but I just plugged it in from its frozen state into my computer.
I reset it to factory settings, then started loading music onto it. iTunes showed that it was loading all of this music onto my iPod. But, every time I eject it, the iPod shows that I have none. Does anybody know how to help me? I'm tired of being iPodless. :/

When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

Premiere CS5 crashes every time I select the effects tab.

I'm running windows 7 (64bit) with the latest version of Premiere CS5 (I think it was 5.0.3, or maybe 5.0.2? Either way the updater said it was the current version). Every time I select the "Effects" window in my layout premiere crashes. It used to work perfectly, then a week or so ago I noticed one of my projects was crashing when I tried to open it. Since then, that project has crashed for me every time, and while I can import it into a new project safely, now I can no longer open my effects window (or apply effects).
I have already tried uninstalling 3rd party effects, uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere (all of CS5), and resetting my preferences. Nothing helped.

Iphone 4 new instant message screen has old message that reappears every time I select new message. Cannot get rid of it. Any known solution?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
