IPod nano with computer connection problems and more

My iPod Nano is always stuck at 1:06am and on the completely wrong date. The time will not change. If I try to change the date and time, it freezes up and I have to do a hard reset so I can get it to function. This problem it has had for quite a while now, and I don't view as a very pressing issue.
The following problem however is new to just yesterday. It impedes me from updating the iPod or adding new music. I added new music to it a month or so ago and yesterday was the first time I have tried to do anything with it on a computer in 2014.
It will not connect to a computer. The moment I try to chord it up, my entire computer runs slower, and iTunes crashes. My computer also doesn't always recognize that it is plugged into the it even though the iPod will have a "Do not disconnect" screen and is charging.
Another interesting thing to note is that I have tried to synch my iPod up to a few different computers and the results are the same, and if you try to shut down or boot up a computer with my iPod attached to it, it won't. It'll stop mid process and refuse to shut down or boot up.
I have followed some of the troubleshooting guides on similar sounding problems to no avail.
I realize that my iPod is also fairly old as far as iPods go (2008) and I will probably have to just get a new mp3 player. However, I would like to avoid that outcome as long as possible.

first off , i don't think there should be any issues updating the router's firmware on a vista machine....
the other things that you can try are :
changing the MTU size to 1365 ,
under the "advanced wireless settings" subtab, change the beacon interval - 50 , fragmentation and RTS threshold - 2304 ...

How do I sync my old iPod nano with my new iPad and new Apple ID? I cannot remember my old Apple ID

I got a present of an iPod in 2008 and synced it with a laptop I had at the time. The laptop has since broke and the iPod was put in a press and never used. I now have a new iPad and apple I.d and have pulled out the old iPod and want to sync it so my new music from iTunes will be on the iPod.

Your iPod is not directly "linked" with an Apple ID. Just connect it to your computer (Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes and use it. You cannot sync an iPod to an iPad, however.

Zen Micro with PC connection Problems and no firmw

I'm running on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I have Windows Media Player 0.
...and my Zen Micro wouldn't be detected, so I formatted it completely and I tried reloading the firmware. My old Zen Micro with v firmware still connects perfectly well, but Windows just doesn't detect my v2 firmware (now no firmware) Zen Micro.
Advice, please?
:edit:
Windows DOES detect my Zen Micro now...but I still can't do anything with it. It appears as MTP player connected:

bkBlade,
Check this Knowledgebase article SID0053 and make sure the USB registry entry is correct. If you do make changes to the registry base on the Knowledgebase info, then try reloading the v2 firmware again.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

My grandson loaded music to my Ipod nano with his Mac computer. Now I'm trying to add music and I have a windows based computer. Itunes is asking me to reformat my Ipod for windows. Will that erase my music already added?

Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

My question is the my daughter has an ipod touch with alot of music and games on it, but the computer that had itunes in it and all the apps and music is now gone. How can I transfer all her games and music her new computer without loosing her stuff?

My daughter has an ipod touch with alot of games and music on it. The computer it was synced to is forever gone and on her new computer some of the games dont show up along with her music. She is worried if she connects it to her new computer all will be lost. Is there anyway for this to not happen? The ipod is on its last life due to a cracked screen, and as for the games she has spent money on them such as smurf village and others. When i looked at game center on my phone about less than half of that game showed up. Is there anyway to fix these things before its to late and eveything is gone forever?
THANK YOU.

Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

Does the third generation iPod Nano have allot of problems with it?

I was wondering if you think that there is an unusual ammount of defective iPod nanos, or iPod nanos with problems.
I know that forums are mainly a support page, so I'm only going to see posts about PROBLEMS with the iPod, but i wanted some opinions.
Should i wait to buy the new iPod nano, or should i go ahead and purchase?
EDIT: Also, remember when steve annouced that the iPod Video could play songs with no song skip. I think it's called "continuous playback". Can the nano do that?
And last of all, does the nano back scratch as easily as the 1st gen nanos?
Thanks in advance,
ZLH

I am on my third Nano3 - the store replaced it without hesitation. This one is (knock on wood) working very well. If you are close to an Apple Store, the risk is low. And they ARE cool!
They indicated that they had not had many returns, so it might have been just a bit of bad luck (after all, it is the 13th iPod in my family, and my 7th...)
I have not tested the gapless play.
I do wish, they had stayed with the Aluminum finish on the back. I never used a cover on my Nano 2, and it looks great. This one has the marring typical of polished SS backs. You can polish it out, of course.

My 2nd generation iPod nano screen is showing lines and I cannot see the whole menu. How can I fix this problem?

I believe that my wife disconnected the iPod nano (2nd Gen.) improperly and now the screen has a whole bunch of lines. I can see the screens moving when I move to the next screen. But it's just lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well unfortunatley your warranty is over so the device is not covered, BUT sounds like you have interupting signals being sent from a stuck home button constantly being pressed and maybe even a digitizer problem (the touch screen). You can try to restore your ipod to your computer to see if it might be some kind of software related issue. Just restore to the last sync you have on iTunes. But FIRST...I would try to Reset your ipod.
Go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings.

IPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote

I currently have iPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote, but even after the update I do't get the radio option to appear in the main menu or music menu, with the option in settings turn ON. Why isn't this thing working?

hiya!
just doublechecking something. are you connecting the remote directly to the nano, or are you connecting it to a Dock and putting the ipod in the dock?

TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.

Problem with creating Connection pool and JNDI, driver is not detected

Hi,
I have an issue with creating Connection Pool and JNDI.
I'm using:
- JDK 1.6
- OS: Linux(ubuntu 8.10)
- Netbeans IDE 6.5.1
- Java EE 5.0
- Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 Its lib directory contains all necessary jar files for Oracle database driver
- Oracle 11g Enterprise
My problem is that the Oracle database driver is not detected when I want to create a pool (it works pretty well and is detected without any problem when I create ordinary connection by DriverManager)
Therefore after running:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Context context = (Context)ic.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)context.lookup("jdbc/oracle11g");
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();and right after dataSource.getConnection() I have the following exception:

As many suggest, I also tried to put context directly in the server.xml (instead of my application context) and referencing it by <ResourceLink /> inside my application context but it didn't work and instead it gave me the following message:

Has anyone succeeded in creating a connection pool with JNDI by using Tomcat 6 or higher ? If yes, could kindly explain about the applied method.

Hello again,
Finally I managed to run my application also with Tomcat 6.0.18. There was only two lines that had to be modified
in the context.xml file (the context of my application project and not server's)
Instead of writing
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/WebApplication2">
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
</Context>we had to write:
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/WebApplication2">
    type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
    factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"
</Context>- No modification was needed to be done at server level (niether server.xml nor server context.xml)
- I just added the ojdbc6.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/lib (I didn't even need to add it in WEB-INF/lib of my project)
- The servlet used to do the test was the same that I presented in my precedent post.
For those who have encountered my problem and are interested in the format of the web.xml and context.xml
with Tomcat 6.0, you can find them below:
Oracle server: Oracle 11g Enterprise
Tomcat server version: 6.0.18
Oracle driver: ojdbc.jar
IDE: Netbeans 6.5.1
The context.xml file of the web application

My hard drive in my MacBook crashed and I now have a new computer. I am trying to sync my ipod nano with iTunes but i get a message stating that the content on my ipod will be replaced with the songs and playlists from my iTunes library (which is nothing). I want to get all my songs, playlists, from my ipod onto my computer. Help!!!

See if there are instructions for what you want to do in the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide, check Knowledge Base, iPod Nano Support or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).
