My 6th generation ipod quit working.

My 6th generation ipod quit working.  The battery was low, but I plugged it into a charger immediately.  I've tried a car charger, wall outlet and iTunes does not recognize it to charge or reset.  What should I do?

Take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  You are still under warranty.  Take advantage of it!

  • My 6th generation ipod was working fine and now I can barely see that it is on.  Does not light up.  Any ideas?

    Ipod not lighting up.  Can barely see that it is on.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - 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.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My 6th generation Ipod Classic will not eject, works fine otherwise and properly goes thru sync cycle.  A message shows files are in use and device can't be ejected.  If I close my internet browser it will eject properly every time.

      I have a new HP Pavilion running Windows 7 with lots of memory and a terabyte of storage, using iTunes 11 with a 6th generation Ipod Classic.  Have used my current iPod for years with no problem until today; when I try to eject the device iTunes stops responding, there is a delay of about 10-15 seconds until a message box pops up: "the ipod cannot be ejected as there are files in use."  It also won't eject from the windows taskbar, same type of message appears. iTunes remains unresponsive until I click "ok" on the message box. I've reset the ipod twice and disabled the "enable disk use" button for the ipod -- with no change in symptom.
      I am not certain as to the fix but am 100% sure that the problem does not occur if I close my open browser; it occurs only when I have an Internet browser open.  I experimented with Google Chrome that I normally use, and also with Internet Explorer -- when either browser is being used the ipod cannot be ejected.
      I've used iTunes 11 for about 3-4 weeks and this problem had not occurred until today.

    I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

  • My ipod nano 6th generation is not working anymore :( HELP

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation. Was working perfectly. One day I wake up and is showing me a screen I have never seen  before..It reads:N20 Snowfox 4A0432
    When I plug it, itunes doesnt recognize it. It recognized it once but it says problem 1621 and I follow the instructions but still my ipod is frozen and not even my computer can read it.
    I really miss my music for my morning run!

    Have a look at comment # 4 and 5 on this page iPod nano 6G diagnostic mode to get it out of this mode again.
    Pressing the volume minus button and power button should help.

  • I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

    I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store.  Let them see what you are seeing.  Only this time............

  • My 6th generation iPod nano won

    I'm unable to use the "shuffle" feature on my 6th generation iPod nano. Any thoughts?

    When the shuffle feature is activated my iPod continues to play the same song over and over again. The shuttle feature worked last week and now I have this problem.
    I've done nothing differently while charging or syncing the iPod.
    Thanks for your help.

  • So is the 7th generation iPod Nano in fact a 6th generation iPod Nano with a software upgrade only ?

    I went to buy a 7th Generation Nano from a local Apple store and when I gto home to set it up, I found out that it had the old software (i.e. small icons and only two clock faces). I took it back to the Apple store and they informed me that it was the latest model (i.e. 6th gen) and that I had to update the Software to make it a 7th gen model..... this all seems contrary to the following article on the 7th gen tear down....

    Same thing with us.  We were told that no "new" stock was brought in to the store, just they lowered the price on the current xtg inventory, so buy it now as you don't need the nike kit.  Here's apple's own link showing gen 6 as current:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/#Nano
    Seems like a good way to inject a few more sales as the "new version" at the keynote got our attention.  The gen is moot for us as it seems to be working for us so far as it held a charge overnight powered off.  We still are testing that it doesn't drain down too fast for our uses running.  If it works for what you want, does it really matter what you or someone else wants to call it?

    If you want, need, and the item works for you - just buy it and enjoy it.

  • Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Try a hard reset first. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
    until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, 
    and then the Home screen.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
    Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks?  What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

  • Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

    can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

      Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
      This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it.  One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod.  When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio.  Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio.  I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really?  This is freakin' new, Apple people!  Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

  • 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

    My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
    I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi VeerleD,
    If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
