IPod NANO won'T WORK!!

i have an ipod nano, and i received it as a present from my uncle..
it worked fine for couple of months but last week when i try to charge it on my computer, it shows the DO NOT DISCONNECT, but my mac HD will not identify it nor will itunes 7.0 identify it...
i resetted and it works but then when connected to the computer it doesn't...
i can't even restore it because it won't identify it...
HELP!!!!

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try to restore it in disk mode.

  • Ipod Nano won't work. HELP!

    Yesterday I tried to play my ipod nano and nothing worked. It is on and the main screen comes up but none of the buttons will work. I charged it then went online and did the hold button back and forth trick and holding the menu and select button down but nothing makes it unfreeze. I can't play it in the car or anywhere. It just stays on with no buttons working. What can i do?

    it seems a hardware issue, you can try try iPodResQ at your own risk

  • Video IPod & IPod Nano won't work on Vista 64-bit system

    I recently updated my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system on my Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad PC. Somehow, I have a problem using my Video Ipod & Ipod Nano. After downloading the latest Itune+Quicktime & plugging in the USB cord connecting my IPods, i got this blue screen & different error message. When I reboot my PC, it won't run my OS unless I unplugged my Ipods. I tried istalling the old IPod software that comes with the IPod without any luck. Any idea on what's causing this problem? Are there any patch for Vista 64-bit that make the OS work with IPod?

    Hi,
    I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
    I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
    NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
    Anyone have a solution to the problem?

  • 1st Gen iPod Nano won't work with new Nissan interface.

    I just bought an 09 Nissan Cube that has the factory ipod interface where you can control everything through the steering wheel and radio, well my ipod has been great, yes old, but works great and always has in other cars such as the Scion xB I just traded in on it, using the same type of system.
    Well, when I plug it into my new Cube, it charges fine, but just keeps saying "Ok to Disconnect" and goes back and forth to that and the 1st menu screen all the time.
    I did a reset where you hold the middle button and the menu button for 6 seconds, but that did not fix it. I'm at a loss.
    I know the interface works because we tried another newer ipod and my iphone works as well.
    Any ideas? I don't want to spend the cash to buy another ipod.

    Ah, i seemed to have fixed it! Well i've been trying for a few weeks now to sort this out and as soon as i put up a post it works. Oh well at least its working now. It seems like that the iPod needs to be playing BEFORE the iTrip is plugged in the turn it on.
    I'll get me coat...

  • My ipod nano won't work!

    Last month my first generation ipod nano was out of power. A few days later when I tried to charge it the Apple logo came up and the backlight flashed on and off several times. I tried resetting it, but nothing happened. A few weeks later, I attempted charging it again. The same thing happened. Also, when my ipod is connected, the computer doesn't recognise it, and it wont show up on itunes either!
    @>--->---->-----

    um i think that the um battery thinngy has died and you have to go 2 a apple store and they will fix it. i think maybe. Lol.

  • My new Ipod Nano won't work in my car with Bluetooth.

    I have a brand new 2014 Mazda Miata with Bluetooth. The car's manual only discusses using the Bluetooth for hands free phoning (there are hands free phone buttons on the steering wheel). No mention is made of how to use it with an MP3 player. The car's Bose stereo does have a sticker that says it is MP3 compatible. I sat in my car and changed the setting on the IPOD to turn Bluetooth on and for like 6 or 7 minutes it was saying something about trying to locate device. I finally got tired of waiting and put in a CD and drove off. I went back to where I purchased the Nano but they were no help, just wanted me to buy cables to use in the car. I see that my stereo has some sort of button that says Auxiliary (along with buttons for AM, FM, CD and Sirius) but the owners manual was no help with that buttons use.

    - Does the manufacturer say it will work with the 4G iPod and iOS on the iPod?
    - The configuration of the 4G iPod is different than previous iPods and on some docks the 4G does not fully seat in the dock.
    - Reset the dock. See the manufactuers instructons
    - Sometmtes this works.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However, sometimes an IOS update just breaks compatibility.
    What model and IOS was the iPod that did work?

  • 6th Gen iPod Nano won't sync to Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz PowerPC iTunes 9.2

    My iPod classic bit the dust so I bought a new iPod Nano 6th Gen. My Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz PowerPC can only run iTunes 9.2. From what I can tell this new iPod Nano won't work with my Powerbook, which is hard to believe since my old school iPod from the early 2000s worked great until I dropped it and it split in half.
    My iPhone 3Gs syncs fine so it is incredibly annoying and disturbing that a new iPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync.
    If in order to get this iPod Nano to work with my current system I'm required to upgrade my iTunes from 9.2 to 10 then I need to upgrade my OS from OS 10.4.11 to OS 10.5 which requires that I upgrade computer by purchasing an entirely new laptop then I might just have to revert to my old school Sony DiscMan.
    My iPod Classic 2nd gen. worked great until it broke and my iPhone Gs syncs great, so I can't believe that this new iPod Nano 6th gen. won't work without a simple fix.
    Come Apple, don't fail me now.

    Your problem is completely different from the original post. The OP could not run the correct version of iTunes on their older computer. You're much more likely to get the help you need by starting your own thread with a properly descriptive subject line.
    If you need instructions on how to start a new thread, see this link:

  • Ipod Nano won't start - folder w/exclamation point error message!

    My Ipod Nano won't start! I got it about a year ago and whenever I try to turn it on, a folder with an exclamation point and the words, "www.apple.com/support/ipod" come up. I've tried to get it to work but it's not. I even tried looking in the help sections on apple.com and everything I found didn't help. My Ipod isn't frozen, I just can't get it to the menu screen. I really don't want ot have to reset my Ipod and have all my previous songs and pictures erased because I can't get them back. Does anybody have a possible solution to this problem? Please help.

  • TS1425 ipod nano won't synch, i plugged it in to computer after not synching for a long time and it wouldn't install a new driver and now itunes doesn't even recognize it when i plug it in

    ipod nano won't synch, i haven't purchased anything in a long time and haven't synched with the computer just charged on car charger. when i plugged the nano in it tried to install a driver and that failed and now the computer and itunes won't even recognize that the nano is plugged in.

    "The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:
    I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).
    I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.
    I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.
    In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.
    The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"

  • IPod nano won't sync in new laptop

    Hello everyone,
    my 6th generation 8GB iPod Nano won't sync in a new Windows 8 (not upgraded to 8.1) laptop. iTunes recognizes it and is able to enable disk use but will not sync the music. The computer also recognizes it. It just won't sync, when I press the sync button it seems as if it is going to sync but it stops after a few seconds without synching or changing anything. I already uninstalled and installed iTunes and restarted the laptop and the problem is still there. Also I wonder why iTunes doesn't say that the iPod is synched with another library and if I want to sinc it with the new one since the music my iPod currently has comes from an old laptop that doesn't work anymore so that's why I have my music now in this new computer, but it won't sync and it's frustrating. Any advice? Thank you.

    Type "ipod not recognized in itunes" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support"

  • My ipod nano doesn't work in my new car using the usb

    my ipod nano won't play music in my new car using the usb.  It works fine with earphones, and music displays in car but won't play?

    And I have one more question, when I connect my iPod,
    iTunes turns on automatically and the iPod is seen,
    but it's not seen in "My Computer". Is that ok?
    Since you have the iPod set at auto sync the ipod would not show in "My Computer" (someone correct me if I am wrong). If you were able to successfully switch it to manual it would show as it would be in disk mode. So I would say that this is ok.
    I have done a search for the error -50 you keep getting and can't find anything. At this point I would suggest contacting Apple support to see if they can give you some insight on this error. One thing though...have you tried uninstalling iTunes from your computer completely and then re-installing it to make sure it's not an issue with your current copy of iTunes? Also, have you tried to go through the 5 R's?
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    If you have not gone through the 5 R's, please try that first and see if it helps. If not, then try un-installing and then re-installing iTunes. If that does not work, then it would probably be beneficial to call Apple Support.

  • 7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

    7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello Marie,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on.  I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
    All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset.  To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
    I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

  • Ipod Nano won't restore to sync

    My brand new Ipod Nano won't sync with my Itunes.  The Itunes software tells me to restore my Nano, The screen it tells me to restore using isn't on my Nano, but I restore to factory settings, and it still won't work.  Gives me a message in Itunes"The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application."  What???  I just plugged it into the computer after opening it in the box from the store?

    Make sure the Enable disk use option is NOT ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. If you do have to remove this tick mark, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower left hand corner of the window in iTunes to update the changes to your device. Then try restoring it again.
