My ipod nano can't stop rebooting !

So I got my ipod nano a few years ago and I had a different laptop back then and I uploaded my music on that laptop with itunes.
I got a new laptop but I never plugged my ipod nano into it. A few weeks ago I did and it was working fine when i plugged it in except i was having a hard time putting new music on my ipod nano (that computer is more used to my iphone being plugged in) Finally when I thought I got the new music on the ipod, I unplugged it and gave it to my mom (who has recently been using it). But then suddenly the ipod turned off and it went to its rebooting screen (all black with the apple in the center). I have tried restarting it but all it does is turn the screen black for a few seconds and then it's frozen on the rebooting screen.
So I have tried pressing the menu and the center button at the same time to restart it-Doesn't work
I've plugged it into my new laptop after that and it connected! and it asked if I would like to fix the problems on my ipod and it went onto restoring my ipod for a few minutes with the screen on my ipod white with a flashing "Do Not Disconnect' message. But when I came back to it 3 minutes later it was back to its rebooting screen, same as before.
I tried reconnecting it to my laptop but it does not connect! So I don't know how to unfreeze my ipod nano, I don't care if I have to start completely over with all my data gone, I just want it to unfreeze and go back to normal!

IPod nano 7th Gen. occasionally reboots

I've bought myself an iPod nano 7th Gen. about two weeks ago. I updated the firmware to 1.0.2 and synched some playlists on it. During the first two days my iPod nano shut down and rebooted itself about 10 times, no exaggeration. I went to my Apple Premium Reseller, turned it in and got a new one a few days later. I'm using that one for about a week now and I still got the same problems:
It happens when I wake the display up and music is playing. I hit the lock button, the music stops, the screen turns on and shows the Apple logo and then a few moments later the greyed-out homescreen with a spinner. Sometimes it shows the home screen directly and a spinner when I tap on the Music "app".
In some occasions I first hit the home button, the music kept playing and the screen stayed off, then I hit the lock button and my iPod reacted as described above.
Since two days, I observe another error which occurs often when editing a playlist or creating a new one, but also on wake up like above: The music stops, for about half a second a weird sound plays over the earbuds and then the iPod shuts down and I have to manually turn it on again (tap and hold on lock button).
I'm writing this now because I listened to music the whole day today and nearly everytime I took the iPod out of my pocket it rebooted like described above. I suspect that this is a software problem, so please, Apple, do something! These bugs make it really annoying for me to use my nano for what an iPod is for: listening to music.
Some further information: In iTunes, I checked the "Convert higher bitrate songs to 128 kbps AAC" option and filled the iPod nano with about 12 GB of music. I listen to music only with the Apple earbuds, no bluetooth headsets or car dock stations. For selecting songs, I mainly use playlists.

Okay, I tried unchecking "Convert higher bitrate songs to 128 kbps AAC" and this seems to solve the problem. Of course this is not satisfying because I can't fit all of my music on it anymore; but at least I can listen to it.
I still hope that someone at Apple reads this and tells me how to really fix that. For me, this experience is like buying a car that breaks down every 500 meters. An iPod nano that can't play back music without interruption is embarrassing!

Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing in the middle of song

Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing song randomly while listening. What gives?

i think i FINALLY solved the problem - by simply switching the wire that connects my ipod to my computer (i was using a firewire, and switched to a usb).
Did you by any chance have the iPod connected through a hub , or through another device, G?
Its not uncommon to have issues like this occur if , for example, you have a firewire device equipped with a "Prolific" 3507 firewire bridge . THese are found in many cheap external FW enclosures used for external burners and HD's , for example. The only real solution is to disconnect all such devices to avoid interruptions on the FW bus. (or, at least with the iPod, you can simply use USB2 instead).

I accidentally started a download of around 25 songs on iTunes using a gift card, but did it too the wrong iPod. Is there a way too cancel the downloads and transfer the unused credit too my other iPod?

iPod touch 2nd generation iPod touch with 4.2.1 iOS, stopping iTunes, downloading midway,

You should be able to connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over and you can then sync them to your other iPod.

When connected to my Ford Mondeo, my ipod nano can be controlled through interface. But after while it comes up with message 'loading data' and then freezes. Anyone else got the issue?

When connected to my new Ford Mondeo, my ipod nano can be controlled through user interface in car. This worksd most of the time, but after a while if I try to change the music or search, it comes up with message 'Loading Data'. I then have to pull out USB and reinseert, at which point it works again. Has anyone esle expereinced this/have a solution?

Does not matter if anyone else has this issue. You need to contact the Ford dealership. It's their product you are having problems with.
If you really want to know if anyone else has this issue, post on Ford's Mondeo message boards. It's where the Ford car owners hang out.

Does the ipod nano can record sounds?

Does the iPod nano can record sounds connecting "headphones with microphone"?

Hi uptight,
Yes, the iPod Nano does support MP4 files.
You can find more information about the files the iPod supports here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
You can convert many videos right from iTunes. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 will walk you through the process with sample files.

My new ipod nano can't be detected by PC

It was working before same PC, same ipod nano. When it works, the screen showing "Do Not Disconnected" when ipod nano connected to PC and it also works with iTunes for downloading or any other functions. But now, the screen is only showing "Charging with big battery icon in green color", the ipod nano can't be detected by PC. I don't know what happened. I did download the latest version of iTunes and went through all step that Apple suggested but it doesn't work at all.
What's happening in my new ipod nano? I just bought it in 2 weeks ago and if it can't be function with iTunes for downloading, how come I bought the 8GB new version of ipod nano? I'm very upset about the ipod. Please kinly help to fix the problem. Thank you.

Okay, sounds like we have either a questionable USB port on the Computer or the iPhone or a bad USB cable. Anything you can do to isolate where the problem connection is will help come up with a mitigation and/or resolution. You could connect something else you may have to your USB port on the computer, such as a camera. That may tell us the Computer and associated USB port is working. You also could tell us if the iPhone and the USB cable charges your iPhone when connected to your charger and a wall outlet. Now if both those tests prove successful, there still could be a problem with your USB cable. If you have another cable you should try it.

My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

A friend told me that if I give my first-generation iPod nano can renew it, that's true?

please respond quickly

What are you talking about? You can't "renew" an iPod. You also cannot trade it in to Apple. Apple will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on the purchase price of a new one.

Push your headset jack in further until the plasic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

I was just listening to my iPod shuffle and it stopped working. I plugged it into the computer to sync it and it won't sync. The little light don't come on on my nano. I've turned it off and on, pushed the play/pause and nothing. Can anyone help me out here?

How long have you left the iPod to charge? It can take up to 30 minutes before it shows any signs of life. Did you use the instructions in this article to properly reset the Shuffle?

My ipod nano 2nd generation stopped being recognised in itunes. using windows 8, all our other ipods are fine

My ipod nano 2nd gen just stopped being recognised in itunes. I'm using windows 8.1..and not had any problems with ipod touch 5th generation or nano 7th gen.
The ipod charges up as indicated by the battery icon but not being recognised at all in itunes or as a connected device or drive on my PC. was working fine the day before then just stopped. I can still listen to the ipod but obviously not load on new songs as not being recognised.

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and get it serviced. Sounds like the headphone jack has failed.

Anyone have trouble with ipod Nano earphone jacks stop working?

I have had 2 ipod Nano sice 2007 have earphone jacks that have sytopped working. My latest one was purchased in April 2010, and earphone jack stopped working 2 days ago. Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!!

I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!
