IPOD NANO trouble charging it...

This is my first ipod, and i don't think its charging correctly...i have it hooked up to my computer, and when i do, the little charging icon comes on my ipod with the words "do not disconnect" but the after a couple seconds, the ipod screen goes to the ipod menu "songs, pictures, settings etc"
and the charging symbol isn't there anymore....
and then when i leave it alone for a couple minutes, the ipod goes to sleep/turns off.
so i was wondering if its charging, should the "do not disconnect sign" always be on the ipod screen?
is it supose to stay on all the time?
please someone help me, im desperate!

When you open Ipod options there should be a check mark to enable disk mode. Enabling it in disk mode causes your ipod to be available in My computer and dont go into standby mode while charging. I think 2000 might be Turing the ports power off when the nano isn't talking to your computer. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt12.html

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

  • Ipod nano not charging or being recognized by windows

    have windows xp pro
    cannot get ipod nano to charge or be recognized by windows
    left it connected for the past couple hours
    had to get a 2.0 usb pci card, other things are connected and working in the new card, its connected directly to the card

    Ok go ahead and try and reset the ipod while it is plugged into the card you have for usb 2.0. You reset the ipod by moving the hold switch on top of the ipod a couple of times until it is white. Once you have done that go ahead and hold down the menu and the center select button for 6-10 seconds until you see the apple logo. After you see the apple logo let go of the buttons and see if the ipod is showing up.
    Another thing you could try is taking the ipod to another computer and see if it shows up on that computer.
    Also remove any other usb devices from the computer except the mouse and the keyboard.
    If you still have this problem type in on the support web site msconfig and try that. If none of these steps help you take the ipod to the nearest apple store, or contact technical support and have the ipod sent in for repair.

  • My ipod nano was charged and now the screen is all white

    my ipod nano was charged overnight,  now the front screen is all white  i cannot see anything(playlists etc)   i have reset it and the screen comes back on but only for a minute  then it goes right back to a white screen....    what is wrong with this and how do i fix it?

    If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting are able to solve the problem, the issue is hardware related, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.  The LCD screen may have simply burned out or wore out over time.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/.
    It wouldn't also hurt to the let iPod's battery full drain. Then charge the iPod back up and go through the 5 R's again.

  • How to turn on 6th gen iPod Nano after charging?

    Hello, could anyone help me with this issue:
    My iPod Nano was completely drain out of battery so I was charging it this morning, I want to ask is it normal when your iPod doesn't turn on quickly after charging after completely out of battery? is it different from iPhone (in iPhone it will show charging sign)?
    What should I do to check if my iPod is charged correctly? or this is a sign that my iPod was broken? please help, thanks
    I left my iPod at home and still charging it for the next two hours.hoping it will turn on again.

    Hello greenmous,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If the iPod's battery had fully drained, it could take up to at least half an hour before your iPod begins to show any signs of life, depending on whether you have it plugged into a USB port on your computer or connected to an external power adapter.
    For now I would let it be. If still no signs of life after a while, try resetting the iPod.
    To reset iPod nano:
    First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod nano not charging on Windows XP

    My iPod nano won't charge at all, and I have Windows XP. After I plug my nano into my computer via USB, a white screen comes up on the nano that shows a "dead" iPod and the address for the Apple support website. Then the screen goes to the depleted battery icon, with the lightning bolt at the far left side of the battery sign(which isn't blinking). I've had my iPod plugged into my computer for over 4 hours, and nothing seems to be happening. Once in a while, the white screen with the dead iPod comes back up, but the battery still won't charge. If anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it! Thanks very much.

    Hi MsMayZ,
    I don´t want to sound negative, but that seems like a typical Windows XP problem.
    When I received my first Shuffle, it did not work on my XP machine, making me think that there´s a problem with the device. But then, I had the chance to setup a new PC from scratch (XP Pro, SP 2 etc.) and suddenly, the Shuffle worked like a charm. The same happened with my two Nanos.
    Windows XP obviously has some serious issues with USB on some machines or under some circumstances which are unfortunately nearly impossible to detect. Let me add, that all of a sudden, an USB scanner refused to work on one XP machine after updating it. With all the help I could get (hotline, Google, manufacturer support), there was no chance getting it back to work - nobody seems to know why...
    I know this sounds not very encouraging, but from my experience, if the Nano does not work, it´s most likely a scrambled XP installation
    (I am about to remove all USB stuff from the device manager and let XP reinstall it - but I am not sure if this will work...)
    kind regards
    Tom

  • My Ipod nano's charging icon doesn't appear

    since i got my ipod nano 4gb, 4 days ago i have noticed that when I plug in my it into my computer to charge, I don't see the green battery icon, instead I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT red circle. No matter how long its plugged in, that icon doesn't go away. Why?
    Thanks

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
    In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • Ipod Nano 2gb charges very slowly

    HI...
    My Ipod Nano 2gb needs about 24 hours to charge...
    My is not covered for service anymore but maybe there is a solution without sending it to apple...
    Please help me
    marggi

    After the 24 hours does it have a full charge, or just a partial charge? If it is a partial charge or considerably less then the original charge you might want to consider getting a new battery. You can send it out to get a new battery or replace it yourself with a high capacity replacement. You can go on ebay or the web and search for a high capacity battery for your nano. It will come with the tools required to take it apart and instructions for take apart. It is not a very hard job to do and if you have any mech skill it will be a quick and cheap fix.

  • IPod Nano 4g charging adapter?

    Hello,
    I have a question...
    I have a few accessories that my ipod hooks up to. I've been using a 1st gen 1 gb nano, and finally upgraded to a 16gb 4th gen. Of course, my accessories no longer charge my ipod.
    Is there any chance that there is an adapter out there that can plug in, in line, to these accessories and allow the ipod to charge.
    about 50% of the reason i upgraded was to have more music in the car on long trips...but after going on a trip for 3 days, my ipod died in the car and left me musicless.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    damon

    You get "Charging is not supported with this accessory" if you plug an iPod nano 4th generation, iPod touch 2nd generation, or iPhone 3G into an older accessory like some speaker docks, a Bose SoundDock I, some FM transmitters/car chargers, and some built-in iPod car adapters.
    Scosche (among others) offers adapters that allow you to use the new iPods with older accessories:
    http://scosche.com/products/productID/1667
    http://scosche.com/products/productID/1695
    http://scosche.com/products/productID/1694
    The reason for the charging issue? The new iPods only charge from "USB power" while the older accessories only provide "Firewire power". "USB power" is 5 Volts on pin 23 of the 30 pin iPod connector and "Firewire power" is 12 Volts on pins 19 and 20. Aha, now you see the problem.

  • Ipod Nano will charge but will not play on dock

    Hi,
    My ipod nano (1st Gen) will charge but will not play on my philips DS7550/05 Docking station.
    When i phoned Apple support they told me maybe it was because my ipod was not compatable with the Docking station but to follow that up i checked the system requirements and my ipod is perfectly compatable with this docking station.
    Other ipods do work on this Dock. I tried resetting my ipod but that did not work. My ipod works fine through headphones, syncs through my computer and charges fine when i plug it into the dock but simply will not play music!
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Not in particular.  The fact that the iPod does not play when connected to any other docks could mean either the 1G Nano does not have the ability to output sound via it's dock connector port or yours in particular has gone bad.

  • Why is my 8 month old Ipod Nano not charging/synching?

    My Ipod Nano is no longer charging with the USB cable in either my laptop or my apple charger. It started to sporadically charge/synch and is now not doing it at all. Everything else works with USB drive on the laptop and I have no problems charging my Ipad on the apple charger so the issue must be with the Ipod itself. I use my ipod every day for running. Is there anything I can do or am I going to have to trash an 8 month old Ipad?  I've tried resetting the Ipad and that makes no difference.

    Check the dock connector on the Nano and clean any dirt/debris/dust bunnies you might find. Clean it with a soft brush. While you are doing this get a magnifying glass and look at the pins. If you see rust/corrosion then sweat has damaged the connector.

  • IPod Nano troubles, please help

    I'll try to explain this problem to the best of my ability, this has been an ongoing problem since my sister got her iPod Nano:
    Me and my sister both got iPods for Christmas, her a Nano and myself a Video, now this isn't about me, my iPod works with my computer (thankfully), but my sister's Nano does not work with her computer. The only reason she has music is because she hooked it up to mine and got my music (a process so annoying to me it's hard to explain, and no, before it is suggested I am not going to add her music to my computer, add it to my library, hook up her Nano, give her her music, and then undo that whole process afterwards. Also I am going off to college next year and won't be able to do that all the time).
    Anyway, so the problem appears to be that Windows does not recognize her Nano. I follow the instructions exactly like I did to use my iPod, I install the newest software (iPod updater and iTunes) and then put music into iTunes and then plug in her Nano, and I get a very strange noise. If you can imagine the two noises commonly heard, two beeps, one low and one high when you plug in a piece of hardware, and one high and one low when you unplug it, think of this noise as three, very quick low beeps. I do not know what this noise means, but it appears to mean "we know you plugged something in, but we don't know what the heck to do." iTunes at this point does not automatically update the iPod, and when I go into iPod Updater, the message is "plug in an iPod to begin" (although one is plugged in).
    Originally I thought the problem was with her USB drives, although they are USB 2.0 as recommended. I called an Apple service representative (actually a few, only one giving me anything close to a reason for the problem), and upon checking the Device Manager the representative told me that "VIA" USB controllers are not compatible with the Nano. I did not find this likely, but I accepted it as the reason and she has since gone without an updated music selection in her Nano.
    Recently my sister purchased a PCI USB card to put into her computer, which I installed (with difficulty, hard to find the drivers). We again tried to use the Nano with no luck. These new USB controllers are "NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controllers" also 2.0, according to the packaging.
    I have since reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater to their most recent versions and reinstalled the USB ports twice, with no better results. Currently I am at the Device Manager and it shows it "recognizes" the iPod, under "Other Devices" (which has a yellow question mark as the icon) and the iPod tab itself also has a yellow question mark as the icon, but this yellow question mark has a smaller yellow circle with an exclamation point ("!") inside it. I attempted to use the "Add New Hardware" wizard to "install" the iPod, but at the point where it looks for drivers it says it can't find any.
    Please help, I would be greatly appreciative of any information concerning:
    -My sister's USB ports and if they are the problem
    -What the "three beeps" noise means when I plug in the Nano
    -Where I can find "drivers" (if they exist) for the Nano so the computer recognizes it
    -Any other ideas/suggestions that could be of help
    Thanks in advance! I hope someone else out there can answer my problem!

    hiya!
    -Where I can find "drivers" (if they exist) for the Nano so the computer recognizes it

  • 4th-gen iPod nano troubles....

    I'll plug my 4th generation iPod nano into my computer (PC, I know...) and it will tell me that my the settings on my iPod simply NEED to be restored. I'll then disconnect after I have put all my music and whatnot back on and there won't be anything on my iPod.
    This happens every single time I plug it into my computer and I just don't know what to do besides buy a new one, but I'm broke, so that wouldn't be possible.

    Apple created the stupid AAC file format to annoy Windows users.
    Change your settings in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing ~ to "Import Using 'MP3 Encoder'" - not AAC. If you wanna send music to a friend over AIM/MSN/Yahoo or whatever and they dont have iTunes, it's annoying, MP3 is more globally accepted.
    So your iPod works with your computer, but not with the iTunes.
    Things to try:
    1) Re-install iTunes
    2) Reset iPod
    Good luck and reply back soon!

  • Ipod nano trouble

    my ipod nano was on hold and i turned hold off to update it and the hold symbol won't go away. What do I do?

    Hey there,
    Have you tried resetting your iPod? To do this hold the Center and Menu button until the Apple logo appears. If that doesn't work, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod completely. Keep in mind that this will wipe all the files off the iPod. Step-by-step instructions on how to do this can be found in the Apple document below.
