My iPod Nano Sixth Gen keeps pausing randomly and the screen keeps coming on at random times.  It has only started doing this the last 2 days.  Tried resetting, unplugging headphones

My iPod Nano 6th Gen keeps pausing.  It does this sometimes immediately.  Sometimes when the screen goes dark.  Sometimes after like 15 minutes.
The screen keeps going off and on at random too.
I tried resetting the settings, resetting with the buttons, searching for additional updates, unplugging the headphone and replugging it TIGHT, and new headphones.
Not only is this annoying, but the power is draining MUCH quicker between the screen coming on and having to turn it on to restart it.

If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

    Hello Nazer_502,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way.  It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

  • IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

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

    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.

    This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
    And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

    Hello,
    I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
    The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
    Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
    I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
    Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

    I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?

  • IPod nano 6th gen went through washer and dryer

    HELP!!  iPod nano 6th generation made the trip through the washer and dryer. I put it in a bowl of rice for several days, and it appears not to work. But when I plug it into iTunes it recognizes it, but the screen is blank. 
    What can I do???
    It was a replacement for my 2nd gen nano that experienced battery issues, so it's not under warranty at all. Is it possible to replace the screen or is it cashed out??

    Update!
    When I plug it into iTunes it's recgonized by iTunes. However the tough screen is totally black.
    Is there a way to get that replaced or is it totally hosed. 

  • Ipod nano 7th gen with remote control and with or witthout dock

    Hello there!
    First of all thank you for reading me
    I need to use my ipod nano 7th generation with the remote control because I'm installing it in my new ballet school and it's very uncomfortable going every time near the stereo to control it. I've always connected the ipod with the cable, not with the dock and I was wondering: can I use the apple remote controller without the dock? if no, has the dock to be apple or is it the same? I've seen that the apple universal dock has the old connection (like iphone 4, just to understand) .. How can I connect my ipod 7th gen? is there any adapter or something coming with the dock?
    Thank you very much,
    Anna

    Ok I've found out that the universal dock is no longer available and that, btw, is not working with ipod nano 7th.... how should I do then?

  • What if my 8GB iPod Touch 4th Gen. won't charge and won't keep it's charge?

    My iPod Touch 4thGen. 8GB 6.1.3, doesn't charge at all. For the past 2 weeks I've tried different cables/wires, 2 computers, different wall jacks, and my car charger, but to no success... And every time I somehow do manage to get it to charge, it doesn't show a lightning/electricity/zig zag pattern, only a "fully charged" symbol, and a few times don't seem to be charging the battery at all. All it says is "Charging Not Supported With This Accessory."... Like right now it is "charging", with a "fully charged" symbol, but the battery is still red and very thin. I've been charging it for the past 4 hrs. and it's still at less than 20%. What do I do? I bought it last June, and so IDK if the warranty is still useful. It's screen is cracked(since January) and the power button doesn't work at all(since May) so I can't restart it or turn it off. My friend told me to fully drain the battery, so I did. But once I connected and charged it, for around 5 or 6 hours, even then it still had a low battery. What can I do?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do I fix my iPod when it goes to a white screen and then grey with a dark oval in the middle. I have tried restarting it a few times but it just goes back to the same thing. It has also been doing this for two days now.

    please help me!

    - Have you tried resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
    - If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again.

  • My PC Shuts Down When I Plug In My New IPod Nano 3rd Gen.

    The title of this post pretty much says it all. Got me my new iPod Nano 3rd gen. yesterday. Brought it home, booted up the puter, loaded iTunes and plugged that sucker in. Well first iTunes kindly instructed me that I would have to download it's newest software, which I did.
    Then soon afterwards when I thought i was set, I plugged in my new 3rd gen iPod Nano to the pc and as soon as I did that my pc shut down completely, and restarted. Shut down is putting it mildly, I mean it just went 'kablink" and then was restarting.
    I tried uninstalling iTunes, cleaning my temp folder, my internet cache, then reinstalling iTunes anew, still nada. All to no avail, people, because each and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, no sooner than i do this my pc summarily goes "kablink" on me and starts booting up again.
    NOW I STILL have my iPod Nano 2nd gen, and it works fine, even with the newest iTunes software, it doesn't screw up my pc like the new 3rd gen iPod Nano does.
    Now I am to conclude that the problem lies in the 3rd gen iPod itself. How could it not? My iPod Nano 2nd gen works absolutely fine, and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, I shut down in a flash withtout fail. Anyone of you have this error? I would love to know short of calling iTunes tech support about what to do about this, this is a MAJOR bummer for sure. Now I have to be concerened about whether or not I am ever going to get this thing to work now.
    Is the iPod broken? If not why the shutdowns then? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

    Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?
