My iPod nano shuffle doesn't turn on.

I lost my iPod nano about 1 or 2 months ago, I found it today and it didn't turn on so I though it could be the battery, so I put it to charge but It doesn't turn on and I dont' even know if it's charging... Help!

How long have you left it to charge? It can take up to at least 30 minutes (sometimes longer) for the iPod to show any signs of life. After leaving it to charge for a few hours, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipod nano 6g doesn't turn on, screen turns white

My ipod Nano (6th generation) doesn't work anymore.
When I try to turn it on, nothing happens. Sometimes when I hold the sleep/wake button for several seconds, the screen lights up white. After a few seconds it turns off again. I have also tried this while charging it, which didn't work either.
I have tried to reset it using itunes, but that didn't work.
Hope someone can help me with this problem.

we have the same problem! i already tried restoring factory settings twice, it's still not working! I hope this gets resolved soon. Apple, this is so disappointing!

HT201210 ipod nano 6g doesn't turn on and won't be recognized by itunes

Hi, I bought an iPod Nano 6g a couple of years ago.
I tried to use it about a week ago. It did not turn on (not even the screen), no music, nothing!!
I connected it to my Laptop (Mac), turned the iTunes on, nothing again!! It didn't even recognized it.
I have connected it directly to the electricity, no charge!!
I downloaded the iPode Reset Utility, but since my Laptop doesn't recognize it, I don't know what to do.
Please advice!!

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

My ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3rd generation iPod Nano, how can I turn On the Backlight again?

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3red generation iPod Nano, how can I turn it On again? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

What do you mean you turned off the backlight? How did you do that?
Have you tried a hard reset to see if that takes care of it? To this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I have a ipod nano shuffle, 6th gen. I bought it when I had Windows Vista. I upgraded to Windows Ultimate 7. Now it keeps shutting off. Have to press power button and touch arrow to restart. 3 to 4 times a song. I ran diagnostics. Passed until end.

Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen. I purchased it when I had Windows Vista. I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate . Was fine with Vista. Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times. Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song. I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics. Passed all until the end. The last test had a red dot failure. It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found. Does someone know how I can correct the problem? iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

IPod Nano - Shuffle plays same songs over and over

I have several playlists on my iPod Nano with varying numbers of songs. But it seems that every time I use my iPod, no matter which playlist I'm using, I get some songs over and over. I'll hear the same couple songs multiple times in a day/week. I turn it off when we aren't using it. So it seems like it's resetting the shuffle every time I turn it on. Is there some setting I need to change to make it shuffle the songs more? I don't remember having this problem with my iPod Shuffle. I'm considering making multiple playlists (like a several workout ones with different songs in each so I get more variety) but wondering if there's a simpler fix
Thanks

That is probably the Repeat setting. It can be set to repeat ONE (repeats current song), ALL (repeats current list), or OFF (does not repeat).
Which iPod nano model do you have? Does it have a touch screen interface, or the (older) click wheel interface?

Ipod nano 7th dies when turn car off

in my car i have my ipod using transmitter and charger. when i turn off car, i ALWAYS turn off my ipod by holding center button down. somehow every time i come back and turn my car on the ipod is dead and it was like i left it on the whole time WHICH I DO NOT. i used to have the ipod nano 4th or whatever and it never did this...i would do same thing and when i turned car back on, it picked up on the shuffle/song right where i left off at. of course if i keep ipod on it would die but i make sure i turn it on because i dont' want to have it start over in the shuffle....help!!!

Make sure the headset is plugged all the way in. It is a very tight fit, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

New ipod nano(5gen) won't turn on

So I got my new iPod Nano(5th generation) a few days ago. I put it in the computer to charge, it synced all the music to it, I eject it from the computer and the screen flares up with all the music and everything, but the moment I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on. I tried the hold/center+menu thing, it doesn't work. I left the battery to charge, it still won't turn on. I am not sure what else I can do, it simply won't turn on unless it's connected to the computer.

I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on
Did you eject the iPod first before disconnecting?
Hold button on or off?
Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual and if the solution cannot be found there, call iPod Nano tech support.

Ipod nano 7th gen not turning on or connecting to laptop??

My son's ipod nano 7th gen won't turn on and when I connect it to the lap top a message comes up saying device driver not recognised - he was listening to it just last night, can anyone help? He's only had it since his birthday in November.

I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

First, your iPod may need to fully charge which can take a couple hours. You may benefit from downloading the 2nd gen nano manual if you haven't already. If after allowing it to charge for a bit longer and still no life (try this with the iPod ejected from the computer to see if it will power on) then there may be another problem.

IPod Nano 7th gen not turning on but recognized by iTunes and Windows

My two-month old 7th gen iPod Nano is not turning on. I've reset and restored it using both Windows (My Computer) and iTunes and have downloaded the and installed the latest version of iTunes. It was working fine and now just will not turn on. It is being recognized by Windows as a removable disc and by iTunes as an iPod that I can sync data onto.
I've tried the 'hold the power button for 5 seconds' trick to try to manually reset it, as well as other variations with pressing down on the power and menu keys simultaneously. The iPod is new, ordered online and the nearest Apple Store is over 2 hours away from where I live.
Please help?

Hello, M.Ram.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that the screen on your iPod nano is black, but is recognized by iTunes. Take a look at the troubleshooting article below as it may provide some troubleshooting steps that may help. However, if the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.
