my nano 5th gen doesnt turn while I charge it..help please

So I assume it doesn't power on when you disconnect it either?  What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  What happens if you try to perform a hard reset of the Nano with it still connected to the charger?  To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It could also be a faulty cable that is preventing your iPod from being able to build up or receive any sort of charge or current from the external power source.  If you have another cable laying around, swap it out to see if that helps.

    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.

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

    - 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.

  • 2 yrs worth of music on my ipod nano 5th gen just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks.

    Most of the music I've put on my ipod nano 5th gen in the last 2 years just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks. Stuff from before that seems to be still there (I add stuff manually, not sync, and the ipod wasn't full). It was a bit glitchy as soon as I plugged it in to update - threw up a few error messages, decided to verify my ipod a couple of times, After that, once or twice itunes seemed to lose the ipod completely, although as far as the laptop was concerned it was definitely still connected, so i went for the 'safe to remove hardware' option and reconnected...
    I'm guessing somewhere in the midst of whatever was going on there, something got confused or corrupted, but I have no way to tell what... Ipod seems to think it is using less of its capacity now, but I don't know whether to believe it or not!
    Can I get this stuff back? It's not just stuff I bought from itunes, either - things I put on from cds have gone too. I have all the music either backed up or on cds, but I'm not in the same country as my cds right now - also rebuilding all of my playlists and trying to remember what went where is going to be a pain! Is there a quicker way than just doing it all over again?

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • Nano 5th gen, not seen in windows or itunes, older ipod IS

    OK my ipod is a Nano 5th Gen and the Mrs is 2nd gen, as soon as i plug her ipod into my win 7 pc it comes up fine in both explorer and itunes so my system is working fine i guess.
    However when ever i plug my in nothing happen, not showing up in itunes or windows explorer or right clicking on my computer and selecting "Manage" right clicking "Disk Management" or "Device Manager" there is NO mention of Apple device, tried resetting it by turning lock on then off then menu/centre button, which did reset the ipod but still not showing up in either windows or ituens.
    Just wondering what i'm missing her, I do have access to the mrs laptop with ituens on but of course it has her music on, **** while i was typing i got hers out plugged my ipod into her laptop and again nothing in itunes or explorer so i'm 99.9% the issue is with my Nano.
    So is she dead and times to go and buy something new or does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?

    Try one or more of the following:
    Restart your computer
    Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    Reset iPod (will not delete everything)
    Check in 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

  • Brand-new iPod Touch 5th gen often freezes win7 while charging

    Hi,
    I've had a new iPod touch 5th gen for about two weeks now.
    I also have a laptop that runs Win7, that has had no problems whatsoever until now, and that has no problems when the iPod isn't plugged in.
    Here's what happens:
    I plug in the iPod Touch to update files and recharge the battery
    All goes well, iTunes sees iPod, battery's charging
    Lalala
    Bam! Some 15-30min later:
    Laptop freezes over.
    I have had to manually shut down the laptop more than a dozen times in a couple weeks now.
    The iPod is killing the laptop dead. Slowly, but surely, it's happening.
    I love my laptop. I NEED my laptop. I otherwise love the iPod too
    This happens whether the iPod is ejected, but still charging, or not; whether iTunes is on or not
    I unplug the iPod: nothing; laptop still dead.
    Sometimes, it happens when I change songs, as I simultaneously listen to the iPod while it charges.
    Other times, it happens while fiddling with playlists and tag infos in iTunes. (<-- I am particularly weary of this one, since, it seems to me, the iPod takes a few good seconds to access tag infos/change songs, much longer than, for instance, did my iPod Nano 5th gen, though, understandably, that one did not have an OS)
    Other times, it just happens suddenly, with no apparent cause other than that the iPod is plugged in.
    Could it be the cable? (any way to find that out without investing in a new cable? )
    The iPod runs iOS 6.1.3; the laptop runs iTunes 11.0.5.5.
    The laptop is equipped with a fairly new SSD, no HDD [does that matter?!]
    Any help/ideas to get these two to get along would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.

    If yo mean the iPod freeze and does some things when charging. other users have experienced that problem. However. I have not seen a reply concerning the resolution.

    The questin that the computer asked you was "This iPod has been synced with another computer. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this computer." If you said yes then it deleted everything. The way to put it back on is.
    1. Click on the iPod
    2. Click Podcast on the top of the screen.
    3. Check the box
    4. Choose what Podcasts you want to have.
    5. Click the sync button

  • Ipod nano 5th gen.

    so i found an ipod nano 5th gen. on the side of the road and the screen will not turn on. about how much would it cost to replace the screen?

    Don't mean to preach, but what you really should do is turn the iPod into your local police station.  There may be somebody looking for it.  If you lost your iPod (or something similar in value) you would probably want somebody to turn it in rather than keep it for themselves. 
    If nobody claims it after a certain # of days, you will get to keep it. 
    And if you do get to keep it, your next choice will be to decide where you'd like to get the iPod repaired.  Your best bet would be to have a 3rd party company do the job for you at a pretty reasonable cost.  A simple Google search for "iPod screen repair" should give you a plethora of results.  I would recommend doing a bit of shopping around to find the best deal.
    Good luck.

  • My iPod Nano 5th Gene Play button is not working

    My iPod Nano 5th gene's play button stopped working recently, meaning I can't pause my music and I have to use the "sleep" option to turn it off! I've had it for nearly 3 years, so the warrant is up, and I live no where near an Apple store.

    Is none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting resolve the issue, you can be certain that it's hardware related.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
    So whether or not you live near an Apple store, you still need to take or send your iPod in for service to have an out of warranty exchange done for the prices listed on this page.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You could also do some research on third party services that will actually repair the damaged component for a little less than what you would pay if you went the Apple route.  A Google search for "iPod Nano repair service" should give you a number of results to work with.
