Ipod nano wont rotate

Hey there...I have a Ipod Nano 4G and i have a little problem..every once and a while the accelerometer kidna gets stuck...so when i rotate the ipod..it wont go into coverflow mode,or roatate the video or picture...Thus...the shake to shuffle feature works perfectly and it does rotate when i play the included games..any idea on how to fix this problem?I tryed resetting and restorin it ..but it didnt work..
Thanks!!=

I am having this same problem. Virtually every time I try to watch a video (or do album cover flow), the screen won't rotate when I want to watch it with the click wheel to the left of the creen. Restarting and restoring iPod hasn't helped. I can usually get it to rotate by hitting it firmly on its side against the palm of my hand a few times, but this can't be good for the iPod. Accelerometer works fine on games and shake to shuffle.
Does anyone know what else to do? I'm frustrated.

    my ipod nano wont let me sync my videos on my computer

    Not all video format downloaded from iTunes is compatible with ipod nano. Make sure that the file extnesion is mp4 or any quicktime formats. If not, create a version on these format using iTunes or convert using a third party software. Cheers!

    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!

    my ipod nano wont restore ~ error 1433 what to do

    Hi, got the same problem as kerry221. The proposal given by stevejobsfan0123 did not solve it.
    Additionally iMac does not shut down after closing iTunes. Need to manually shut down the iMac.
    Problem occurred after last software update.
    Open for any further proposal :-)

    my ipod nano wont come on at all  can u change tje battery urself

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  After leaving the iPod connected to an external power source to charge for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting it?

  • IPod Nano wont update songs!!!

    Okay, when I plug my ipod nano into the USB port and my itunes pop up, the stage where my ipod would usually update itself is replaced with a popup window that says: Songs on "iPod Nano" cannot be updated because of all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    Yes, I have no playlists right now, for some reason in the past I deleted them all. But this problem has erased all the songs and things I have on my ipod and since it wont update my songs I cant seem to put them back in (this includes the burned ones and ones bought from the music store). I am totally confused on what to do, someone PLEASE help!!

    I am experiencing, for the first time, a VERY similar issue; except I have MANY playlists, and, up until now, I have been able to selectively manage them on my iPod (2Gb iPod, 60Gb of music). Now, all of a sudden, I get the error that is quoted above, although I have already restored iPod twice, reinstalled iTunes once, as well as selected manual sync, and they all "crap-out" about 1/3 of the way thru the synch-job. Never before have I had any similar problems with my product. Please help.

  • Ipod nano wont sync or restor

    This is my first ipod of any kind. and i just got the Ipod Nano 4th gen. when i go to the summary tab to restore original settings after going through all of it a window opens up and says "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the ipod "iPod". You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    i had at first tried syncing it to my Realplayer but then found that would not work even tho thats where i had been getting most of my music. It had asked me to set the Ipod to manual syncing or something like that i cant remember but it wont repeat it. anyways it set it to that for me and now i cant seem to get ipod to work with itunes at all... I just want it to sync with itunes and ill use that only to save the trouble.
    I have went through all the steps to reseting it according to the apple support site but it did not work.

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Why won't it sync?
    Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.7)?

  • IPod Nano WONT sync audiobooks

    I am using a iPod Nano 5th generation and it wont sync audiobooks. I have restored my iPod twice and still the problems remain. Podcasts and everythign else syncs but audiobooks. Does anyone have any ideas? The audiobooks were downloaded from the apple store so not sure as to why they no longer will sync. They play just fine on my Mac.
    John

    Make sure your audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under its Books configuration tab in iTunes.  To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it when it appears under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Books tab and select it.  Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your device.

  • Ipod nano wont switch off

    I have a 4g ipod nano. I went away for a month and left it at home unused, only to find when I got back it now wont switch off when I hold the middle button of the click wheel and stays permantly on. I have tried to restore and reset it, and yes, the hold button is off.

    Welcome to discussions
    Well first, you're supposed to hold down the "play/pause" button to put the iPod to sleep. Try that and see if it works.
    If that doesn't work, press and hold the select and menu button at the same time until the screen goes black/blank. This is a soft reset of your iPod. Your music will be safe.

  • Ipod nano wont register

    girlfriend just bought an ipod nano and were trying to register it on my laptop and when we tick the the terms and agreements box it wont go onto the next page and the list of options. does this mean the ipod is faulty? it cant be because its brand new! wot do we do to register it and put music on it?

    It sounds as though you may not be seeing the buttons you need.
    For that, you need to increase your screen resolution, see this article:

  • TS1383 Ipod nano wont turn on

    Hi, I have an iPod nano and have just set up itunes etc. I have followed all instructions to set it up. As soon as it is all charged and ready to eject I eject and then the iPod will not turn on. It is as if it wont turn on without beging connected to the latop.  Any suggestions? Many thanks

    My iPod recently did this as well, so I restored my iPod by taking all the stuff (all of the video and audio) off and re-syncing it. I then restarted it by pressing both the home and lock buttons simultaneously, and it worked very well.
    I hope this is helpful!

    The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.
