My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer it turns itself off

My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer the screen just shuts down and nothing happens. Occasionally it might work but the battery is already as low as it can go and turns it self off. What should i do?

So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

  • Why does my (fully charged) macbook air crash every time I disconnect the charger?

    I have an almost brand new (within 6 months) macbook air. I keep it up to date. About a week ago this issue started: everytime I unplug my charger (which is green as the laptop is at 100% power) it crashes. I just did the SMC trick, but it has had no effect. Thoughts?

    1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • My ipod nano is fully charged, I put on shuffle and song starts about 1 minute into song it shuts off can anyone help?

    My ipod nano is fully charged, I put it on shuffle and the song starts, about 1 minute into the song the ipod shuts, I push the power button and it turns on to play screen I push play and song starts again where it was when it shut off. Can anyone help?

    This is usually a good indication that your headphones aren't plugged all the way in.  The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone's plug should still be seen.  The headphone jacks on the newer nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations and require a bit of extra force.

    You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • Ipod nano (2G) syncs when plugged in, but no music when disconnected

    So...I plug my iPod nano into my hot new MacBook, it appears in iTunes, I do the sync thing (sync-ing all music, not just the checked music) & capacity fills partially (indicating that songs have sync-ed). Then I click the eject button & disconnect. There are no songs in any of my music menus. I also tried to restor factory settings, and reset the thing a few times--not helpful! So, what's a girl to do?

    Does your iTunes see your nano?
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    If so, then follow through this:
    How to reset iPod
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    If not, do one or more of the following
    Restart your computer
    Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes [Windows XP] [Windows Vista & 7]
    Reset iPod (will NOT delete everything)
    Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
    Restore iPod (WILL delete everything)
    Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date.
    Hope all this helps.

  • Does ipod nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in to the computer?

    When I bring new music into my itunes library the song is checked.  will the nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in again?  Or do I have to start over?  I hit sync again but not sure whether I have to do that every time I charge it.

    Depends on how you have your iPod set up to Sync.  For example if your iPod is configured to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure each new track you add to iTunes has a tick mark next to it.  The next time you sync your iPod (assuming it set up to automatically sync), the new tracks will be added.

  • My iPad will not turn on or charge using the 10 w standard charger. I do not get the charge tone at hook up. It was fully charged when I took it to work yesterday. used it once and turned it off. Charger good, "tones" my iPhone when connected.

    iPad completely inop. Paperweight now. Was fully charged when last used yesterday. Charger works with iPhone, but will not give provide "tone" when connected to iPad. Any suggestion?

    I'm not so sure that this will work but it is always worth a try. Reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My ipod keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer

    I've tried everything, first my ipod kept displaying the folder with the exclamation mark, then a couple of days ago started working again. It then wouldn't play any songs and just kept skipping. So I plugged it into my computer to restore it so I could start again. Now its displaying the folder with the symbol again, and just keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time so I can't do anything to it. Keep trying the ipod updater but says it cant mount ipod.
    Any ideas????

    Hello all,
    I've been experiencing the same problem, but have managed to get it sorted.... well sort of.
    As Jen's problem, I had the exclamation mark and after unsuccessfully trying to update etc decided to leave it out of frustration.
    A day or so later it started to work again, great!!!
    A few days of problem free use then I got the sad Ipod screen.
    After checking the website I've restored and I'm now a week later and still trying to get my music from Itunes onto my Ipod.
    The problem now, once again very similar to Jen's is that my Ipod only seems to connect to my PC for period of time and then disconnects, sometimes updating a few songs.
    I get different 'Unknown Error' messages usually -124.
    I've tried with both USB and Firewire connections and even when my Ipod disconnects it still charges, so it's not the port at fault.
    Can't help but think it's the actual Ipod which is causing me this hassle and musicless journeys!!!
    Any ideas?

  • I just got a new used iPod nano 6th gen and I registered it, but it will not sync. I had an exsisting iPod nano that I no longer have, but I do have itunes on my computer. When I try and sync it, it flashes 'syncing' then stops. Help please!

    I have looked all over itunes for help, please help me figure this out. I just want to sync the music from my itunes accout from my old iPod onto my new one that I got off of ebay. I have registered it but it will still not work. Is there anything I can do? Should I call Apple? Can I reregister it? Is there some other way for me to connect it to my account? Please help me:(

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

  • My iPod touch turns itself off automatically

    I got my iPod touch 2G 16GB this Monday and it reacts strangely when it plays music or video using the speaker, it turns itself off automatically. Is it because of the low battery? Or anything else?

    it might be because of the battery, or it could just be that it is putting itself in "sleep" mode, if that is what has happened it will "wake" when you push the hold or the home button. but im not sure this is just a guess. what happens when you push one of the buttons after it has shut down? does it continue to play the music once it has turned off?

  • Bad to leave the nano always fully charged?

    Is it a bad idea to leave my nano always fully charged? The reason I ask is because I sometimes go many days without using my nano. Should I leave it charged in the dock often?

    This ir really a battery question, so what you might want to do is research how to best utilize Lithium ion batteries. Or go to www.iLounge.com and download their free iPod book. Lots of helpful hints including a section on batteries.
    This question isn't limited to Li-on batteries either. Concerns with any rechargable will spark a comment or an out-right debate. Ultimately it's your call on the recommendations provided.

  • My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off.  But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

    Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music?  It's fully charged and brand new.

    I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
    My computer meets the requirements.
    All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
    As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
    My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
    As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
    As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
    'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
    No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
    The problem still exists. Please help.
