Hello I just found a problem with my Ipod nano 6th generation. It worked fine an hour ago but then the screen turned a dark grey. Did the restore through Itunes and then it went white. But now it's totally unresponsive and seems to be off even when it is plugged into itunes. Can't even restore it. I get Error 1415?
Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:

My Ipod nano 4th generation will not charge or turn on! Please help
I bought a refurbished Ipod nano 4th generation 2 weeks ago from a good reliable ebay seller. It arrived and was in great working order with no issues what so ever. However this evening I realised it was out of battery, so I went to charge it and nothing. No light up, no recognition of it being plugged into the PC or when I try via a plug socket. I have contacted the seller about this asking for a refund as I have not done anything or put it anywhere that it would die like this. However I thought before I try to send it back I would try here and see if anybody knows what may be wrong with it.
ThanksYou need a new battery.

My ipod will not charge when connected to my dock or my computer. I will play when connected to both. I have tried both USB ports, checked the connections on my dock (power light is on) and it will just not charge.
Howdy Crickety22,
Using the USB cord in different locations is a great way to help isolate this kind of issue. Since you have done that, the next step I would recommend is testing a different USB cable with the device.
Check out this info from the article named Archived - iPod's battery doesn't charge found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ta44551
Faulty cable
If something is wrong with the FireWire or USB cable that came with iPod, it may not supply any power to charge the battery. Note: Only iPod models with a Click Wheel can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable (includes iPod mini, iPod (Click Wheel), iPod photo, iPod with color display, iPod nano, and Fifth Generation iPod).
Make sure you are using the cable that came with iPod. Some third-party cables may not work properly with iPod.
Make sure nothing is in or blocking your computer's FireWire or USB ports.
Check the connections to make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
Try another known-good FireWire or USB cable if available.
If this resolves the issue your FireWire or USB cable needs to be replaced. You can arrange for replacement at theiPod Service Website.
And this part as well:
Faulty dock connector or FireWire port on iPod
If something is wrong with iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port, it may not supply power to iPod.
Make sure nothing is in or blocking iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port.
Check the connection to make sure the FireWire or Dock Connector cable is completely plugged in.
If this did not resolve the issue iPod needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.

What do you do when your ipod nano 4th generation will not turn on even if you charge it?
i have a 4th generation ipod nano and it died so i tried charging it for an hour and it wouldn't turn back on. then i connected it to my computer and it would not even turn on or show up on my computer. What do i do?
You could try taking it to a Mac store and see what they have to say, but it might just be dead.

my 4th generation ipod nano works but its a guessing game. the screen is totally black even when plugged into my computer. itunes still recognizes it. is the screen broke is it the backlight, any suggestions how to find out or to fix this? oh and ive completely restored the ipod several times. i let someone borrow it and this is how i got it back so i dont know what caused the problem.
Message was edited by: robynd369I checked for anything either bent or broken, and as far as I know everything looks fine, though I could probably clean out the dust and dirt collected in there after a year. I could take a picture if that would help. Would being dirty inside there cause this to happen? It's one thing I guess I never thought of and probably should do.

My ipod nano 4th generation will not sync
I am trying to sync the photos onto a new computer but it does nothing
it is usually one way from pc to ipod nano, not the other way around

help me please !!
Sounds like a dead battery. Take it into your local Apple store/Genius bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. Another option is to send it in to a third party repair company who can replace the battery at a pretty low cost.

My ipod nano (4th Generation) will not turn on
I just got my ipod 3 months ago and its been working fine until today. The only reason I can think of is- ok my mistake- I was in my hot tub and I had my ipod on the IHOME (I believe that is what you call it)...... and I might just splash a little. The problem is that I put the IHOME up after I get out and I leave the Ipod on the IHOME. And I find the next day that it won't work. So now I'm freaking out so if there's anybody there.......HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. The port where you put the USB cord in the Ipod smells burntOK:Because I already had one water damaged,here is what I am going to do.Apple should be doing this because I think leaving the adapter port wide open is inviting water damage disaster(a bit of sweat,splash of water from the kitchen sink)
I ordered 2 oem travel chargers for .68/each.
I'm going to cut off the charging cable and use the adapter plug to protect that opening while using the nano.
Anything is better than nothing. -

hello my ipod touch 4th generation will not cut on or charge. i have tried the holding the home and lock button and still won'ty work. i don't know what to do. can you help me please
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
