My ipod nano will not work unless connected to the internet - what can I do

I have just downloaded music, pictures, etc., charged the battery and safely disconnected, but my ipod does not respond after the eject from I-tunes. What can I do to find out how to get it to work?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

  • HT201401 MY NEW PHONE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE

    My iphone 4 has been faulty since getting it on contract with 3mobile in jan.  The phone will work when plugged into a power source but not otherwise.  I have contacted apple and followed their inistructions but still not working.  Some one has told me it sounds like the charger connection within the phone does anyone else have this problem ??? i am losing patience with both apple and 3 now

    1. Try doing a hard reset while connected to the adapter:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

You have to put in a credit card number so you can purchase a game thats free or 0.99 cents or higher then you have to fill in other stuff then press next on your ipod touch or computer then it says you have succesifully created an apple id! And i hope this information will help out!!

    I have to constantly keep restarting my computer for it to connect to the internet, what can be done to correct this problem?

    Hi, this has worked for a few...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Also, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever Interface you use.

  • Nano will not work unless plugged in

    Hello.
    I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
    My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
    The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
    Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
    I am lost on this one guys.

    I would say that it's a dud battery.
    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.

  • My ipod 5g says it is 1969 and will not let me connect to the internet

    When I charged my ipod touch 5g and it turned on it said it's 1969 and won't let me connect to the internet. I've restarted my ipod, I've tried resetting all settings including network and I tried connecting it to itunes but it won't connect to itunes due to an unknown error. How do I get my ipod to connect to the wifi and reset to the correct date and time?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • My ear buds will not work unless i hold the plug in

    Can not get my ear bud to work unless I hold the plug snug to the phone if I let go it they do not work  What is the problem ?

    the the headset connector is a common type which have been used for many many many years
    the sony walkmen in the 80's had the same connector and if you connected your iphone headset to an old 80's walkman it would work
    but if you did (or any other device with a mini jack 3.5mm connector) and it only worked if you hold the plug in then your headset is damaged and require a replacement

  • My iPod Touch will no longer stay connected to the internet

    Right before updating to iOS 6, I was using FaceTime and other various apps that require an internet connection, and they all worked just fine.
    After updating to iOS 6, I noticed that things took a much longer time to load, such as Facebook. I then noticed that FaceTime was now extremely laggy, and often disconnected within 30 seconds (note that both sides are using wi-fi, not data plan). Now my iPod won't even stay connected to the internet, it keeps automatically disconnecting itself when I try to use FaceTime and tells me to "Log in" whenever I try to re-connect, only to send me to an apple site that says my search could not be found?

    Though I'm not sure what that does, it was off o.O I turned it to auto, I am now able to use FaceTime but my App Store won't load any Categories, let's just hope Apple get's this sortded out soon.
    EDIT: For some reason I keep typing "not" instead of "now" T.T

  • Someone stole my ipod i tryesomeone stole my ipod i tryed find my iphone but its not connected to the internet what can i do??d find my iphone but its not connected to the internet what can i do??

    some one stole my ipod touch i tryed fin my iphone but its not connectes to thei nternet what can i do??

    If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID.  Then click the FindMyiPod icon.  This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

    I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
    How do I fix this problem?

    That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

  • IPod Nano will not work

    My daughter has had her iPod Nano 8GB for about 10 months and now it will only play when its attached to the computer. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

    I guess you've tried the obvious - power down the pc, and then power back up (my pc sometimes shuts down the USB ports for no reason). Try connecting the one that won't work first, I've also experiences one ipod disabling another from connecting. Next try resetting the ipod (toggle the hold switch, then press middle and top buttons together for about 6 seconds).

  • Ipod Nano will not Start unless resetted  everytime

    Hello Nano world'
    My Nano just started to act strange
    One night I fell asleep with the Nano on (with the sleep timer set to 60 minutes) I had just charged it via the computer USB. I woke up the next morning and tried to turn it on ... No luck.
    Tried to reset (center button +menu) apple logo came on worked fine
    I turned it off. Tried turning on no luck again...
    Tried reset ..came on again only stayed on for a few minutes (battery icon showed more than 3/4 green)
    Couldn't turn on again ... tried reset but this time instead of apple icon ,it showed battery with ! mark
    Is it possible that the USB charger doesnt have quite the power to fully charge the Nano?
    So in short the only way to turn on is by the reset method
    and some times it shows the battery ! icon
    PS did the latest update on the nano and did a factory reset
    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks for the quick reply
    I went out and bought i Ipod AC charger thinking that it might be the USB port not supplying enough power
    First I plugged it in the charger Everything seemed normal at this point The charging icon appeared .. I could turn it off and on like normal(holding the play/pause button.
    I went away for about 10 minutes. Tried turning it on normally ,, didn't work.. tried a reset (center button+menu) now it won't even turn on at all
    The only wierd thing that comes to mind when it was working for the short time is that I tried setting the clock several times; it would set itself back to 1:55 AM after about 5 tries
    I am really starting to lose faith in this product
    I used to have a BenQ MP3 player never one problem
    This is the 4th Nano that I have gone through
    Hope I can get this resolved
    Thanks
