My Ipod Nano is frozen and displaying disk mode !!please help!!

My Ipod nano is displaying a huge check mark and it says "ok to disconnect". It is also locked in disk mode. It isnt charging or responding to any buttons I press. How do I exit the disk mode? Will someone please help me?

Reset your iPod: hold the "menu" and "select" (center) buttons together for 7 seconds. Then the Apple logo will appear on screen. This should exit your iPod out of disk mode.

You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

HT1320 My ipod nano is frozen and I cannot reset it. How do I reset my ipod?

I have an ipod nano that I purchased in 2009. I believe it is a 5th generation. It is frozen and I cannot reset it.

Hey there Tricia9170,
It sounds like you are unable to use the iPod Nano becuase it is unresponsive. Verify that this is the reset you have performed:
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
If so, try restoring it with the following steps in iTunes:
Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
How to restore your iPod:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Note
: For Mac users, A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

My ipod nano is frozen and cannot unfreeze it

After syncing my ipod nano and unplugging it from my computer, it is "frozen" and will not let me use any of the controls. How can I unfreeze it?

Hold down the volume down and sleep wake button (the big one) till you see the apple logo. You should be good to go after that.

My iPod Nano just won't work anymore. Please help if possible.

I have had my iPod Nano for under a year, and this past month it has been going crazy on me like for a week I was unable to turn it off. However, it all of sudden worked fine but two weeks later while I was listening to it, it just turned off on me. Now I cannot open it and I have tried charging it but nothing shows up and it just will not turn on. It is like my iPod has died. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for the help.
Windows XP

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

Ipod nano (6th gen) takes forever to sync - please help!

Syncing my ipod nano has taken 2 DAYS so far. Yes, 48 hours, and it still hasn't finished. Any ideas why? My 64gb touch syncs just fine, but the nano is taking forever! I've updated and reset it to factory settings, but its still crawling along.

My ipod nano just won't turn on. Please help!!!

Ok. So yesterday I was listening to my ipod and everything and I realized it was running out of battery. So, before I went to work I placed it on the charger as usual. Now this morning I get up and decide I'm going to listen to it again and the screen is black and won't turn on. I even hooked it up to my computer and itunes won't recognize it. I placed it back on the charger and nothing. And, I even tried holding the menu button and the center button at the same time. (because that usually works, but, only when the screen showed the apple icon) And nothing has changed. Please please help me! I really hope it's not dead for good. It is older but there are songs on there i don't think i can replace again. Please help!

Was this a wall charger? I was told by an employee not to use a car charger to try and charge my 7th gen Nano. Also, I plugged it into my work computer and it worked for 30 seconds and then went black. For some reason this kills the battery dead. Computer wouldn't recognize it and it would not turn on UNTIL I took it to the Apple store and they plugged it up, then it worked. If you can head to the Genius bar and get a quick once over. These 7th gens are very finicky!

Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(

By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!!

I'd say that the iPod is toast.
Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit.

HT5085 my screen is locked,and in voice mode please help me to get it back.

My screen is locked and in talk over mode ad i can not e into my phone please help me?

If VoiceOver has been enabled on your device, first try to disable it by triple-clicing the home button. If that doesn't work, you can connect the device to iTunes to remove the accessibility options. Otherwise, tap on an item to select it, and the device will read it out loud. After the item has been highlighted via one tap, double tap on the same item to select it. Once into your phone, navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility to disable VoiceOver.

TS1382 My replacement iPod Nano is frozen and will not shut down or stop playing. I cannot operate the touch or slide functions...truly frozen.

I have tried to reset the IiPod, but an unsure of how to properly reset the instrument.

To do a hard reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.
If you are still unable to get any sort of response, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and see if things are back to normal.

2 problems, iPod nano battery depleted and not recognized by Windows, help!

Earlier this morning. At first when I connected the usb to the computer I got the screen in the nano that said "apple.com/ipod/support" or something like that, with the folder/exclamation mark icon. It was charging but I disconnected it cause I had to go. I tried to do the same at night but this time is when it's totally dead, and not recognized at all. What can I do now?
I havent used the nano in a while and the battery is depleted, so I tried to charge it but neither windows or itunes or the updater/restore recognize it.
I'm on a laptop, I already tried most of the stuff in the faqs but it wont work.

i kind of have the same porblem, my klaptop does regcognize the ipod on "my computer" but the iPod dosen't shows up in iTunes, and i have tried almost everything in the faq that show how to fix the problem, but it still dosen't work....

- 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.
