My 6th generation nano is stuck in diagnostic mode. I tried resetting it but itunes does not recognize it. I've tried holding down various combinations of sleep, volume up and down without any success. Any thoughts?

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

My 5th gen nano is stuck in hold mode. Toggling the switch does not work, help!

I've tried everything suggested on apples website, and nothing is working. My ipod is stuck in hold mode. I've tried toggling the switch, that doesn't work, I've tried pressing select/play, it is unresponsive. I've tried restoring to factory defaults, and also uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. Please help.

It's likely a hardware malfunction with the lock switch itself. Either way, you'll need to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
There is no other way to troubleshoot this issue. Sorry.

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

Hey there,
A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
Hope this helps.

3rd Generation Nano only gets Apple logo on main screen need a full reset?

Was just given a 3rd generation nano for one of my kids. I cannot seem to unlock it (apple logo only on screen). Need to reset. When I hold down menu and center button, it just goes back to apple logo. Am I out of luck?

Try manually forcing the iPod into disk mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restoring it in iTunes.

HT1363 My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode, I've tried to reset it per instructions, but it will not reset

My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode and it will not reset. can anyone help

Try to reset it more than once if necessary. By a reset, I assume you mean, toggling the hold switch on and then off, then pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear right?
If nothing else, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain.

I have a 3rd generation nano ipod and after connecting it to my mac to sync my calendar, it said it no longer would sync the calendar. What's up with that???

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

3rd Generation Nano playing songs slow with static.

I have a 3rd generation Nano and I have noticed that it has been songs a bit weird lately. It is not every song but rather every few songs. What happens is the song slows down with some static too. I equate to a record playing on a slower speed than it should. I am not quite sure what is going on...please help.

The songs were purchased from iTunes therefore I do not believe that they are corrupt. May I ask how a song can be corrupted?
I am assuming that a visit to the Genius Bar is order, correct???

Nike+ compatible with 3rd Generation Nano

Hello ...I have been using Nike+ on my 2nd Generation Nano for just over a year with no problems ...unexpectedly I have got my hands on a 3rd Generation Nano ...my question is can I use the same Nike+ kit with the 3rd Generation Nano? ...or have the Nike+ kits been updated therefore meaning I'd have to buy a new one?

There are a couple of different model numbers out on the packaging from nike and apple.
With that said, both will work. There should not be any problem.
Hope this helps.

3rd generation nano hates certain songs!

I am sure that this question has been posted before but - here it goes. It seems that my 3rd generation nano randomly stops playing musical tracks for no apparent reason. A song will be playing and before the song is over nano stops the tack and proceeds to the next. Whether I am shuffling songs, playing an album - whatever, it just randomly cuts a track short.
I have tried restoring it to no avail.
Any wisdom or advice out there???
Thanks so much!
Mark

3rd generation nano frozen and won't reset

I have a 3rd generation nano, that is about 3 weeks old. It is frozen and it won't reset. I've reset before with no problem, but for some reason it won't reset anymore. Any tips?

I've successfully reverted to 1.0.1 using information in the Mac OS thread. Go to:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1213. It has all the guidance you need to revert to 1.0.1. Below is part of my recent post within that thread.
"I downloaded the two 1.0.1 files (iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw" and "iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw.signature) provided on this thread by "Alain Claude Cl..." (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1036653). Many thanks Alain. I followed his instructions, also in this thread, for installing them. I also found the posts from "sottil" (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1033843 ) to be extremely helpful.
Thanks to everyone in the thread who kept this topic going. Until Apple gets its act together and issues 1.0.3 or 1.0.2.1 or whatever, the only solution is to revert to 1.0.1 following the guidance in this thread.

I need an earphone lanyard for my 3rd generation nano. Will the lanyard for the 1st generation nano fit my 3rd generation nano?

I need an earphone lanyard for my 3rd generation nano. Have searched the internet and cannot find one. Can find one for the 1st generation nano. Does anyone know whether or not the lanyard for the 1st will also work on my 3rd? If not where I can purchase a 3rd generation lanyard? Thanks for everyones help!

You aren't required to do so. You can choose not to use the speaker dock or you can return the Nano.
