This morning, I copy some materials which are not TXT file into the folder 'Notes' in my nano. After this, my nano start to restart again and again. So I think the root case maybe because these materials. Then I deleted them based on below steps:

2. Connect it to computer;
3. Delete the materials from folder Notes;
4. Reset Nano (Press Menu and Center Button at the same time for 6 sec.);
Then the problem is resolved;
For your issue, I think maybe you can resolve it by below steps:
1. Set your nano to Disk mode;
2. Connect it to your computer;

IPod restarts when syncing music

My iPod restarts when its in the middle of syncing music. Sometimes it just restarts and other times it says the required folder cannot be found. Can anyone help me?

Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

IPod restarts every time I click the center button

Every time I click the center button to go into the music folder, my iPod restarts, so I can't get into those files. It sometimes happens when going in to the extras folder as well. What do I do?!

Do you have any podcasts on your ipod?
My nano has a very strange problem with resetting too, whenever I transfer a podcast to the ipod, listen to them using the 'Podcasts' folder itunes makes in the ipod's music folder(not playlists, but in the root music menu, before playlists), then delete just the podcast itself instead of the whole podcast folder, then I try going back into the music menu on the ipod, it restarts every time.
Only fix I've been able to come up with is just creating a new playlist for just podcasts, and putting my podcasts in that playlist and deleting the 'Podcasts' folder that itunes creates everytime I transfer a podcast to the ipod.

What do you mean by "reunite". Are you experiencing connectivity issues between your iPod Nano and your iTunes on your PC? If yes, in what do these issues consist? Are there any error messages you are being returned?

My ipod restarted while sofwear update .now its just showing white screen

my ipod restarted while sofwear update .now its just showing white screen...now how can i start my ipod...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cant stand it anymore..I'm here shuffling through my music and it just restarts...ALL THE DAMM TIME! Thanks for any input and help. Oh and its a 5th gen Ipood black video.

This is ********. I did not buy this piece of **** just to play the songs it wants to play. I just read some other topics and people are having the same problem. I am not going to go through every possible song to start at 1 sec. So I guess there is no solution and its just a **** glitch. This isnt going to work for me. I am going to slit someones throat at apple if they dont do something about it. I have zero tolerance for this ********. I payed for a music player, but it aint playing. Is there anyone on these forums that works at apple that can tell me what to do before I go and do something I might regret? Thank you, have a swell afternoon.

HT1212 when i put my itouch in recovery mode and i start the last update on itune, at the middle, the ipod restart and nothing work ...

Hi
First sorry for my english
Last night, i got my ipod touch and i put a password on when i was watching a movie and with my badluck skill, i put a random password because i was distract Now, when i try to put the ipod in recovery mode and try to do the last patch, my ipod restart in the middle! After this, nothing work

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

IPod restarts when trying to play certain songs

My ipod has been acting crazy on and off now for a long time. Usually if I let it die and sit a day before recharging it it works again, but now I am having a new problem. When I play some songs my ipod just restarts itself, and I mean restarts. The Apple logo comes up and it starts over like I had never had it on. I still have all my music and all, but it like coming out of hibernation.
I guess best put, my ipod restarts after certain songs.

IPod restarts when trying to listen to a podcast

I have been downloading the "This American Life" podcasts each week. It seems that each week when I download the latest episode, when I go to listen to it on the iPod as soon as I select it my iPod restarts. After removing and adding it back numerous times sometimes I am able to get it to play, but not always.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it?

This is a known bug, Apple's working on it. For now, there are a couple workarounds. You can turn off the EQ on your iPod, start the podcast in itunes for a second or two, and then pause it and sync your iPod, or you can convert the podcast to a different file format (the hardest option). One of these should work for you.

Ipod restarts when trying to edit photos

when i go to edit a photo my ipod restarts itself

Many users notice this bug -- it happens when trying to edit a screenshot taken on the iPod. It seems to only apply to the iPod touch, as it works on iPhone or iPad. This bug has been reported.
If that is the case, the user should submit another bug report for it again via this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

Ipod Restarts during videos

I just got a new Ipod last night. Between then and tody I loaded a couple videos on it that I downloaded from Itunes. I downloaded them just for the purpose of seeing if the Ipod would play them. All seemed ok - I got them loaded on after light troubleshooting, but when I go to play the videos from my Ipod, the Ipod will restart after about 20 seconds. The video loads fine, looks and sounds awesome, then all the sudden you get the black screen with the apple logo. I have tested this with more then one video.
Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? I really want to figure this out, as the video feature is what pushed me into buying this.
Thanks in advance!

I noticed that, while the Ipod is plugged in and ejected from Itunes, it will play an entire video with no flaws.
It is only when I am running off the battery that I have this problem. I thought maybe my battery was shot, but, after the Ipod restarts, the battery meter is still full, and I can start playing songs from there with no troubles.
So it would seem this re-starting problem only happens when I am running off the battery - but not when I am plugged into my USB.
Should I still give that Ipod Updater a shot? Or does this sound like it might be something else?

Ipod restarts during shows

I need some help. I got some family guy episodes into my ipod & i restarts around when i watch the episodes. My ipod does this when
- I fast forward to a scene, it doesn't restart quickly, but when i do it a second or third time & when i fast forward far.
-Once the episode ends, the ipod restarts
-When i pause the episode & i go to play a song instead.
Is this normal for an ipod or unusual.
If it matters, i got these episodes from limewire.

I am having the same issue but with podcasts. My ipod 5th gen is two days old. It only happens on some podcasts-These are all podcasts from itunes directory.
As soon as they begin to play my ipod resets.
I have removed the podcasts that seem to be causing the problem. Is this a software bug?
Just a little side note regarding the illegal file accusation.... Family guy dvds are available for purchase and although I'm not a lawyer my understanding on media is that it is not illegal to make a personal copy for yourself if you own the dvd.
So "ripping" a file from a dvd to ipod of something you own is not illegal. I agree about Limewire- as an artist it annoys me when people steal other peoples work but just accusing someone of stealing without all the facts is wrong too.
