Work through the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibilty of a software glitch/issue or data corruption.

If none of them take care of it, it's more than likely a hardware problem with the Nano's LCD display in which case you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Hello HernanOtt,
Depends on where you have it serviced. Here are Apple's repair quotes.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead. Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

USB cable for i-pod nano 3rd generation

I recently bought a new i-pod 3rd gen and used my USB cable for the i-pod classic 80 GB which seemed to be working fine.But after when I tried to use the original USB cable for the i-pod nano it wouldn't connect to the i-pod.
Does anyone know whether it is OK to use the cable for the i-pod classic and why the original cable does not fit with my i-pod nano?

can somebody help me?

3rd generation nano has no picture on screen

My daughter's 3rd gen nano suddenly shows a white screen. It plays music just fine, but finding songs/albums using a click wheel without a visual reference makes things very challenging. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hey Car44,
This is most likely happening because the video is not in a compatible format.

My ipod nano 3rd Generation has just stopped working with no warning signs!

It has a black blank screen and is unresponsive to charging when plugged into a USB port and a standard USB mains powered charger that came with my iphone.
I have tried pressing the menu and centre button and nothing happens.
Please help if possible.
Thank you.

How long have you left it to charge? That is a pretty good chance that the battery may just be shot and in need of replacement.

3rd generation nano suddenly stops working. Has anyone had this happen to them?

The device will turn on and I can use the turn wheel to increase/decrease the volume on the screen only. No music plays when I plug in the ear buds, and I can't select a particular song/artist from the playlist. My computer recognizes the nano and will allow me to add songs to the playlist. I just can't play,change or hear them!! Please help!!
Thank you!!

HT1351 I have 2 ipods -1st generation Nano and I pod Touch. I tunes will not sync with the former. It appears this has only been a problem since downloading I Tunes 11. On connecting the Nano I Tunes does not seem to recognise it in any shape or form.

Old Nano will not sync with I Tunes ? dates to downloading I Tunes 11 Using original connections ? Any comments

Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...

I still have my iPod Nano 3rd generation, but my old computer crashed and I did not have itunes backed up, so I lost my library. Is there a way to get the songs from my old ipod to new computer library and then on to the new ipod?

Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab. Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos. Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

Connecting an iPod nano (3rd generation) to Windows Vista

I have purchased an iPod nano (3rd generation) and I tried to connect it via USB to a Windows Vista Enterprise Laptop. Even though the iPod is connected (as it appears on the iPod screen), Windows fails to locate the driver to install it. I have tried several articles found in the discussions forum, reseting the iPod nano, re-installing iTunes, and rebooting Vista, but no solution given.
Please advise.
Thanks

Have not been able to connect to iTunes for months, right about the time Microsoft put out the Zune! Would love to hear from a lawyer about a class action lawsuit againat Apple since this issue has not been resolved and we are required to use iTunes. In the meantime, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission!

3rd Generation IPOD Nano not recognized

I have two 3rd generation IPOD nanos that are not being recognized by 4 different windows XP systems. One of them is a 4G unit that my daughter has been using for at least half a year. It is not being recognized when plugged into the USB. The other one is a brand new unit that is also not being recognized. I have installed and uninstalled the iTunes software and have the latest. I have reset the IPODS. I have double checked the USB drivers and such. Rebooted. The whole bit. The 5 R's +.
On my system at work, they are not recognized either. However, I plugged in somebody else's 2nd generation IPOD nano and it was immediately recognized and happy. So this is clearly some kind of 3rd gen IPOD nano issue and likely some kind of software issue that has recently happened.

Mate i have had this problem for ages managed to sort it with itunes 7.4 but i have the problem again.
It is becoming very frustrating to say the least, and no matter what you say on these forums or the amount of times i have emailed apple i dont get any answer.
I basically have over 100 punds worth of equipment on myy desk which is a waste.
And no one is helping from apple.

Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
Can someone help me?

Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...
