My ipod nano disconnects automatically!!!

My ipod nano disconnects itself from my computer automatically then when it re-appears on my itunes it has reset itself?!? HELP!!

i've had the exact same problem with my ipod nano on and off for the last few months! i just keep restoring it and putting everything back on whenever it happens, but i'm getting pretty fed up and am thinking of trying to get it replaced. if your nano's still disconnecting unexpectedly, make sure you back everything up (if you aren't already). i've also found that having duplicates of all your playlists in itunes really saves time when you're putting all the music back after the nano resets itself, because you can just click and drag the playlist onto the ipod, and then all the music is there in the order you want. apart from that, if you're thinking of getting it replaced, make sure you send it in within 180 days of buying it or else major shipping and handling fees kick in!
good luck!

  • Ipod Nano, Disconnect and Connect while it's Physicaly connected.

    I got a problem with every Ipod Nano I had. My computer was acting just like I would have disconnect it and reconnect it during it was connected. This was happening 2 or 3 times /min.
    I found the problem. There's 6 USB 2 Ports on my computer. They are in group of two and located on different places (behind and on the front). This problem happens when My ipod was plugged with an other thing on the same pair of USB ports. The problem is solved when you connect only your Nano in one of the two port ... let the other USB port empty.
    I hope I'll prevent peoples to send back their iPod...

    J'ai toujours eu le même problème avec mes iPod Nano. Mon ordi réagissait comme si je déconnectais et reconnectais mon iPod de son port USB 2. Pourtant il était bien connecté. Ça arrivait 2 ou 3 fois par minute !
    J'ai trouvé le problème et il se règle facilement. Premièrement j'ai 6 ports USB sur mon ordi, ils sont par paires de deux et sont localisées à différents endroits. La solution c'est que pour une paire de prise USB, il ne faut pas connecter autre chose que le Nano et laisser l'autre vide. C'est probablement par manque de courant que l'ordi réagissait comme celà.

  • IPod nano disconnects after iTunes opens

    Product: iPod nano Model MC696C; OS: Windows 7 Home; iTunes new install 20150412.  This is the first install of iTunes on this computer. The iPod worked fine on previous XP computer for several years. Now, when I plug in the iPod, it connects, iTunes opens, recognizes the iPod, and after a few seconds the iPod disconnects. The same thing occurs on a restart with the iPod plugged in beforehand. I need to reorganize and replace some songs on the iPod.

    Hello Mo0nangel,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, try updating the iPod software. Follow the steps in this article:
    Updating iPod software
    If the problem persists, you may have to restore your iPod:

    Unfortunately, restoring will wipe your nano clean of all songs and photos.

  • Why does my iPod Nano (7g) automatically reboot while I'm using Nike fitness?

    Yesterday I was running with my iPod 7g, I was using Nike finess and it automatically rebooted. Today same problem... Why?
    It's possible I accidentally push Power off, but it's been two days! :/
    Please Help me

    Is it one app, or every app?  If one or two apps, try deleting them from iPad and then reinstalling them.  Have you tried a complete restore to factory settings?  Might be time consuming but you should try all options.  If all else fails, head to the Apple store and let them see it.
    Good luck.

  • When i connect my iPod it disconnects automatically

    as soon as i connect my iPod it disconect, it don't give me a chance to sync. help?

    Know your frustration. Just spent 2 days trying to figure out why my iPod would start to sync than state "that it could find the file". My computer would reboot when disconnected and wouldn't return to idle mode. Tried everything on the website. Took to the Apple store this morning. They did a hard reset and than tried to sync with their laptop. I am being told that they are starting to see faulty connections internal to the ipod. I was told it needed repair

  • My ipod nano goes into sleep mode automatically and the music pauses

    Hi,
    The music on my Ipod Nano 6th, automatically stops after a minute. I have to go to the sleep/wake up button, then press play to start the music again.
    Is there any way to stop this. Is this happening because I have activated the watch on my home screen.
    Thanks.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones.  If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

  • Ipod nano resets when I click on music, and exit podcasts.

    As the subject say's, on my 4GB black, ipod nano when I click on the music tab it resets, bringing up the apple logo and goes back to the main menu. Same thing happens when I exit the podcasts menu, I can listen to a podcast but when I exit podcasts and go back to the main menu it resets bringing up the apple logo again and going back to the main menu. I can do every thing else view Photos go into the Extras tab, Settings and even Shuffle Songs which play fine. I can enter and exit these with no problems. When I plug it in to my computer it's fine even in itunes it's fine I can play anything and do anything. I did a restore of the software already and it fixed nothing, I’m all out of ideas.
    Please help thanks.

    4GB ipod nano Windows XP

    I think I figured it out. Podcasts are the culprit, if you set up you your iPod nano to automatically update podcasts and it downloads them on to the iPod, it causes an error in the iPods software, causing it to restart when you click on music or leave the podcast menus. So I changed the settings to manually update podcasts. Putting my podcasts manually onto the iPod, they show up in the Podcasts playlist under my iPod nano menu (which shows automatically) in iTunes. This is when the error starts, when I undock my iPod nano and go to music sure-enough it restarts, I plugged it back into my computer and deleted the podcasts, undocked it and it was working fine. I converted the podcasts to AAC and then put them on the iPod. They did not show in the Podcasts playlist, they just show as normal songs, and when I undock it it works fine. Now I know that they don’t have to go into that playlist and that I can create my own smart-playlist. But it should not do something like this. I’ll make a new thread about this problem.
    Thank you all for the help.

  • Itunes showing my ipod nano memory as -19.48 gb?

    I suddenly developed this problem on connecting my ipod to my comp today. The ipod nano was automatically renamed "198", and the memory capacity as shown by itunes was erraneous. Teh result is taht i cant copy a single song into my ipod anymore.
    strangely, this seems to be an itunes related issue...as the ipod works fine on anotehr comp. However, i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, updated it, restored my ipod, changed the usb ports, tried both usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 ports, scanned my comp for possible virri and spyware throughly, and even attempted some registry tinkering without any help.
    Anybody could provide a clue as to what sort of problem this is?

    IT seems another helpful user replied to a similar query. Apparently, windows xp's horrible disk management function messed itunes up by assigning the ipod a drive letter already in use (h:, was mapped to a network drive).
    Its not the first time this has caused problems, as i use a digital media center style comp with 1tb space, and have a dedicated swap drive as well. This kicked me out of my network the last time i got a new hdd, wasting hours spent in frustrated repair. **** bugs.

  • IPOD NANO Automatically Disconnects

    I have 3 IPOD's a 40gb 4th gen, a MINI and a NANO. Songs from ITUNES transfer to the older IPOD's Fine but when I try to transfer to the NANO it automatically disconnects.
    I am using:
    ITUNES 7.0.2.16
    IPOD ver 1.1.1
    I have Tried Reset and Restore on the NANO and then I can transfer some Songs but then the problem rreturns. I am only trying to download about 18 songs and have even tried to do 1 at a time. Any Suggestions?
    IPOD NANO (2nd gen) 8gb   Windows XP Pro   2gbRam

    Ok, so I reset it while connecting to the PC. There's such a hassle of using the "Safely Remove Hardware" to 'stop' the iPod. I downloaded the latest iPod updater and reformatted the nano. Apparently there was an update sometime early last month. So I had to reformat, but it still automatically disconnected somewhere around song # 300, and this iPod had nothing else on it. I uploaded songs 50-100 at a time, and it seems to be ok since. Whew!
    It seems there's a lot of trial and error on having to restart the computer, reformat the iPod, etc. I also find it helpful to go into SAFE MODE on your Windows XP PC and go into Windows/Temp and delete all these little files that pile up from somewhere. I've never been able to delete them as a logged-in user, so SAFE MODE is the only way to do it.

  • Ahh, my new iPod Nano automatically ejects and disconnects itself, Help!

    I brought a iPod Nano just a few days ago, and when I got home I managed to Sync a bunch of songs onto it. However, now when I try to sync movies, music, pictures, whatever onto it, the iPod ejects itself before I have to chance to do anything!
    I've tried re-installing iTunes, it didn't seem to change anything.
    I have tried updating the iPod software, but it doesn't work.
    Also I have read other tips from other people who have had the same problem. Nothing they have suggested has worked.
    Help!

    I'm having a similar and very frustrating problem. I originally synced my new iPod nano onto my MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.5.1), and had no problems. The frustrations began when I tried to transfer a few files from my old Windows computer; a window popped up and indicates that I have to reformat my iPod before it can be used (even when just transferring files).
    Now, when I go to use it on my MacBook Pro, the iPod momentarily connects itself but then ejects itself almost immediately. The computer won't seem to read that it's connected and the iPod reverts to charging itself (it's fully charged).
    I reset my iPod, I reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, I restarted my computer, I restored my iPod to its original settings... nothing seems to help at all.
    Why is this happening???
