My ipod 3rd generation nano will not power up and itunes does not recognize it, what can I do?

My 3rd generation will not power up. I've tried to reset it by holding the menu and select buttons at the same time but nothing happens. My itunes will not recognize it either when i connect it to the usb port. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

  • I have 2nd gen shuffle, i am using a new USB to connect to my computer but the light does not come on and itunes does not bring it up?

    I have a 2nd gen shuffle. I bought a new USB for it at the apple store last week. They said it would work with the the 2nd Gen shuffle. I have the shuffle plugged in to the computer now. It wont light up and itunes is not reconizing it. Please help!

    I would bring it back to the Apple Store and have them test it out on one of their one machines to see if it'll work or not there.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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 :(

  • 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.

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Ipod touch cannot not be sync as itunes does not have enough memory

      I got a new ipod touch 32gb yesterday 12.sept 2011.
    i set it up to my computer and put my apps and music on to it, its has 25.2gb left on it and my computer has 80gb memory left put when i try to put pictures on to the ipod 32gb it shows and error message saying
    THIS IPOD CANNOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY,
    whats going on.?
    Also all my apps from my 8gb ipod touch are all updated and put on the 32gb ipod touch  but when i go to updates on the 32gb ipod touch it shows all my apps have updates to download
    but when i click on the same are showing the £0.69 next to them, if i click on them do i have to buy them again? WHEN I ALREADY HAVE PAID FOR THEM
    my ipod touch 8gb has 4gb memory left and that too cannot sync pictures or any more music as the same error message shows
    THIS IPOD CANNOT NOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY
    IS THIS I TUNES MEMORY OR SOMETHING

    my laptop has an 2tb of ram
    you mean 2GB, right? You might consider to get yourself more RAM to run Lion smoothly. Looking at my machine I see that the kernel, Safari, iTunes and Mail together take up 2GB, without doing anything interesting at all.

  • Windows and iTunes does not recognize

    yada, yada...
    I tried the Rs, but my new computer and iTunes does not recognize my shuffle. Can someone give me basic steps to correct this? Shuffle was previously 'synched' with another iTunes library and I don't want to erase my currently uploaded music. Help please!

    I don't know if this is the same problem, but I cannot get my I-pod Nano to sync or have I-tunes recognize it. It is a connector problem, and this is my second Nano to do it within nine months. Apple wants $32 to send it in to be repaired once again. I am irritated beyond belief. I took my Nano in to an IMAC store and they confirmed that it was a connector problem. They could not send it off nor repair or replace it though. So I've had two Nano's since Christmas have this problem.
    I would suggest that you try another device (shuffle) on your computer to ensure that it's not your computer (our other I-pods worked on the computer) and/or take it in to an IMAC store where they will see if it connects to one of their computers.
    Right now I think Apple products are basically crap...
