Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
How do I fix this problem?

That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

New IPod nano will not snyc, message says a file not found

I have completed the 5Rs and Windows and ITunes recognize my IPod but it will not sync. Each time I plug it in I get a window saying it will not sync because a file is missing or something to that effect. Any suggestions? It's my birthday and I want to enjoy my new "toy"!

Does the error message what file is missing? If it's this one have a look at the tips and see if they help: What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found

IPod Nano will not work

My daughter has had her iPod Nano 8GB for about 10 months and now it will only play when its attached to the computer. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

I guess you've tried the obvious - power down the pc, and then power back up (my pc sometimes shuts down the USB ports for no reason). Try connecting the one that won't work first, I've also experiences one ipod disabling another from connecting. Next try resetting the ipod (toggle the hold switch, then press middle and top buttons together for about 6 seconds).

My ipod nano will not work unless connected to the internet - what can I do

I have just downloaded music, pictures, etc., charged the battery and safely disconnected, but my ipod does not respond after the eject from I-tunes. What can I do to find out how to get it to work?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

Update for v22.0 will not work and says "update cannot be verified"

I've tried updating when the pop-up window comes up and provides the link / button. I've also tried going through "Help" then "About" then "Apply Update" and still it tells me that "The installation failed because the update could not be verified". I currently have v14.0 and would like to update immediately however that does not seem possible.

You may need to disable security software temporarily if you keep having problems.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Nano will not work unless plugged in

Hello.
I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
I am lost on this one guys.

I would say that it's a dud battery.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

TS1369 I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not in itunes. At this point my ipod is connected to my computer but when it finishes syncing it's no

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

My generation 6 Ipod nano will not let me download songs from my library to my playlist if they are on the cloud. How do i get the songs on my playlist?

My generation 6 IPOD Nano will not let me put songs on my playlist from the library. A message comes up saying it has to be downloaded from the cloud. I do I bypass this?

If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Then sync them to your iPod.

Ipod Nano will not turn off

My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
Thanks for your reply.

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.
