My Nano 6th gen's screen went blank--is there an easy way to reset this? This is my 4th unit within one year--come on Apple I expect more from you.

My screen is black. But the unit works...I touch the black screen and can get music to play. I only use my nano during work out...nothing extreme. I received my original nano 12 months ago. Due to other issues this is my FOURTH nano...come on Apple...

I don't think it's possible anymore. I'm mildly surprised you were able to keep podcasts in regular playlists this long - I thought this option disappeared back with iOS7.
I do share your pain. I've finally grown used to having the podcasts in a separate app, but I still don't like it.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen. is showing a blank screen

    My ipod nano 6th gen. is showing a blank screen and nthing happens while pressing volume down button and on or off button HELP PLEASE.........

    Same issue. Have tried connecting it iTunes to see if it's recognising it for restore?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • IPod Nano 6th gen black screen / not recognized by Windows

    Like a year ago I bought an iPod 6th gen. A couple of months later the screen wouldn't turn on anymore.
    This is what I tried:
    - Manual reset by Home key + Down Volume key
    - Plugging it to different computers (with different versions of iTunes, 10 and 11). Windows only makes a sound when the device is attached, but it doesn't show it; iTunes is launched, though.
       - With iTunes 10 it waits for a while in "waiting for iPod". Then it says that an iPod has been detected but it couldn't recognize it.
       - With iTunes 11 (updated) it says that it can't contact the update server, which version is incompatible with this version of iTunes.
    I used to use the iPod as a watch, so there's no chance of me dropping the device, or hitting it agains something.
    It's really sad because I have no way of interacting with it to do a "recovery" or something.
    I followed suggestions in a lot of discussions, but nothing helped. I'm willing to try anything.
    I also have an Iphone, iPad and iPod touch, so I'm used to the most common troubleshooting.
    Please advice.
    Thanks!

    if it works properly with iTunes, then the screen might be disconnected from the logic board or (worse,) be broken. Contact Apple for Repair: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    <Edit>: did you change the screen before or after the problem arose?

  • My ipod nano (6th gen)'s screen don't turned on... when resetting it, the screen turns to white.. the most worst is, it doesn't work out...

    I really don't know to fix it... What happen was, when i played my ipod nano, it turns to white... i don't know if I accidentally clicked anything on the screen or the buttons at the side of the device... What i did was, I connected it in my laptap because I was thinking that maybe my ipod was in hang mode. When I was able to connect it, the itunes recognized it but I can't played the music and the screen in my ipod screen was still white... SO, I restored it in factory setting... the same thing happen... i don't know what happen, so I need your help...

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Sync address book & iCal in iPod nano (6th Gen)?

    hello all,
    today I switched from an ancient iPod to a brandnew iPod nano 6th Gen. To my utter surprise there seems to be no (straightforward) way to sync my address book or iCal...? Needless to say, the olden iPod offered that feature. Have I overlooked something???
    Thanks and Regards,
    Georg

    hello planb77,
    thanks for your fast reply! Unfortunately it is as feared... Of course you are right in that I could have spotted the missing functionality in the User Guide. However, nobody documents the functions they leave out -> you need a list of required functions and compare it with the available functions... :-(
    I understand that Apple wants to differentiate the nano from e.g. the touch. But leaving out such basic functions which were even present in the iPod 1G is a sure way to p*** off even the most loyal customers. I buy Apple products (at a higher price) because I want things to simply work! If I wanted problems, I would by my PCs - or my MP3-players in the dept store around the corner. Arrggghhh!!!

    ipad2 screen went blank whilst using, will not switch on now.

    Try this .....
    Reboot 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.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

    Hi
    I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
    This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
    I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
    Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
    The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
    The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
    The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
    Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
    It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
    Thankyou!

    Hello bfsf,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.

  • Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC,

    Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

    By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?

  • My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

    If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
    www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?
