My 7th Generation iPod Nano shuts off whenever I press a button.

I bought my iPod nano 16 GB a few months ago, and I noticed that sometimes, when I tried to open the screen (pressing the top button or the menu button) instead of opening, the iPod shut itself completely, and then rebooted, I could see the Apple logo on white screen, etc.
I went to exchange it once, after I finally managed to find the time, and then, when I tried the new one, it had exactly the same problem, but twice as worse.
Now when I try to choose a song, open the screen, wander in my playlists or even when the song ends and tries to load the next one, it reboots, and at the same time, it generally resets the general settings (brightness, wallpaper, time zone, etc.)
Now, I don't know exactly what is wrong with those 2 iPods, but it is very frustrating, and discouraging. I can't even manage to choose a song before it reboots and I have to try again, after what it generally crashes again. I'd say it does 75% of the time I touch it.
I am using a windows 7 64-bit laptop, incase that helps, but apart from going back to the store and getting a 3rd one that, hopefully works properly this time around, which I could barely find time to, since I live far as **** from the closest applestore here, I don't see what I could possibly have done wrong.
Also, I never dropped it, or even scratched its screen, I never had any problems while synchronizing it and I never bullied it either.

Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

7th Gen iPod Nano shuts off randomly

My iPod Nano is just about my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever bought from apple. I'm primarily a pc user when it comes to computers, and having a basic, small iPod means I can listen to music and podcasts and leave the more complicated tasks to the equipment that I've spent more money on. However, my iPod recently started bugging out in a way that makes it nearly unuseable.
The iPod will quite happily run for a day or so if I don't use the touch screen. This is fine for podcasts as I can use the volume and play-pause on the outside. However, if I want to make a choice on the screen, about one in five touches will cause the iPod to shut off. If I reset it, it will either flash the apple logo and shut off again, or get to the homescreen with the loading symbol, then make three short beeps and shut off again. General internet searches have proved fruitless, and although the iPod is cheap enough that I can buy a new one without it being too much of an issue, I would much prefer to keep that money for other things.
Although apple hardware isn't my area of expertise, I believe that there may be some kind of issue with the battery, as there have been black-outs and brown-outs in my area and my iPod has ben charging during a couple of these. I was thinking that the RAM could also be in bad shape for some reason, but I did a dram test, which it passed. The iPod is currently in diagnostic mode, so I can give information on the battery and the like if that would help, but I have no idea what the numbers mean personally.
My warranty ran out a few weeks ago and I live about two hours from the nearest Genius store, so bringing it back isn't really an option. Any help would be much appreciated.

Well the bug appears to have been fixed by the 1.0.3 patch. My battery is still stuffed so I will have to buy a new one at one point, but at least this issue is sorted out.

My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

7th generation ipod nano stops tracking my runs after a minute

7th Generation Ipod Nano: when using the fitness icon and running, it pauses every minute or so and i have to physically hit resume to start again and the mileage is off. Anyone know how to fix? I can't get it to calibrate because it won't make it through a whole work out to do that.

Is an earphone or Bluetooth headphone connected to the nano?
If its an earphone you can check the earpod jack on the iPod to see if there is any lint in it.
If there is no earphone or Bluetooth headphones connected, the iPod thinks play was hit by accident and pauses it to conserve battery.

The center button on my 7th generation ipod nano no longer works

I have had my 7th generation ipod nano for about 6 months. It only stays plugged into my vehicle. 3 days ago, the center button quit working. It still plays music and the touch screen works, as well at the top on/off button. What can I do to fix this?

if it is warranty i would visit a apple retail store, be sure to set an appointment if you vist the store.

7th Generation iPod Nano connection issue

My Dell Inspiron N7110 does not recognize my brand new 7th generation iPod Nano even when I use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

Gee...I'm answering my own posts. But...this is the deal. Apparently, my iPOD Nano froze...and one thing I did not do was reset it. I did that, and by IPOD was suddenly recognized by my computer....and is now happily charging, etc. So, case solved.

It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:

Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

I would to a Restore. Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the Summary tab for the iPod. There is a button there to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod. All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar. To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play. What is wrong with it?

I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background. I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it. At one point it was in a Restore Loop. I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers. Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
1- games
2- voice memo

1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

HT4059 I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano and cannot get audiobooks to sync with it. The manual says this is a valid feature but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select. What am I doing wrong?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

My 16 gig, 7th generation ipod nano just died yesterday.
I assumed it just needed recharging.
It is not responding. I have complete black screen even when its hooked up to charge....and it wont turn on.
Help!!!!
I got it as a birthday gift around the end of May, its brand new.

Clean out the Lighting connector on the bottom of the nano, clean Lightning connector cable, make sure your computer is not set to go to sleep and connect it to the computer and let it charge for 30 minutes. After this time, while it is still connected, hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

My 7th Generation iPod Nano shuts off whenever I press a button.
