My Nano can't turn on.

I have no idea whats wrong, but my iPod Nano won't turn on anymore.
Basicly what happened was I was using my PC to host all the songs for my nano. Then I bought this laptop and I decided to finally move my music library over to this computer (laptop). It worked fone for about 5 minutes (plugged in) until I downloaded and installed the iPod Nano update. I came back later only to see that my iPod was off.
Now my computer won't even reconise something is connected when I plug it in.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

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.

The only way to turn on my ipod is connecting the usb cord to the energy and logo appears with an old date 1970. Apple support told me to restore my ipod nano, if the problem continues i must go to repare my apple.

You'll need to take or send your iPod Nano in for service.

Can't turn Nano off ???

Hello - I believe the way to turn the nano "off" (or "asleep", not sure which) is to hold down the play/pause key. This worked for the first day, but today nothing happens when I hold down "play/pause" - the nano doesn't turn off or go to sleep. What am I doing differently, have I switched a setting or something? I'm watching my battery slowly drain but I don't know how to turn the darn thing off!

Same problem here. I had mine now for exactly one week. Turned it on this morning, and the first thing I noticed was that the album pictures weren't showing with the songs being played, just a blank white box. Then, I went to turn it off...and nothing.

IPod shuffle 3rd gen: Can't turn it on, but iTunes recognizes it

I have an iPod shuffle 3rd generation. A couple of days ago, it stopped working during playback (I think, the power was on at least).
The computer/iTunes recognizes it, and I have reset it to factory settings. However, I can't turn it on (the power light is not lit, except when I connect it to the computer/charger).
I have tried setting the switch to off and waiting 10 seconds before setting it to on, but that does not work.
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, it is out of warranty.

Still haven't found any solution, but I bought a iPod nano 6th gen to replace it (it is not much larger than the old shuffle). I hope it lasts 2-3 years at least.
At least I can still use the old earphones with the built-in "remote" together with the nano.

IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
How can I solve this problem?

Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Can't turn on journaling

I had a backup firewire disk that I had to turn journaling off on, to work with another machine. Now I can't turn it back on. Disk Utility reports failure, and the command line options does the same thing with a barely more informative message:
mt@laptop $ sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil enableJournal /Volumes/OneTouch
An error occured journaling the filesystem: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
I'm stuck because now I can't use Time Machine, which requires a journaled volume. I can't even get my old backups off of it.
Any clues appreciated.

First read this article: Disk Utility reports 'Underlying task reported failure' (-9972). If nothing there helps then see the following:
How to Deal with a -9972 Error
Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima
The error message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)" is a serious filesystem error in the Mac OS X Core Foundation. The problem can also lead to other critical errors such as "Keys Out of Order," "Invalid node structure" and/or "Invalid sibling link." The causes and scenarios vary. Troubleshooting a solution may depend upon computer configuration and whether the -9972 error is accompanied by other critical errors. This issue can also lead up to a kernel panic. If the error occurs when an external FireWire device is connected, disconnect it until you verify the device's compatibility.
Symptoms:
In most cases, you are unable to restart from Mac OS X.
* A volume is grayed out or not mounted with or without a kernel panic.
* A folder with a flashing question mark may appear.
* A bad partition map may be reported.
* A target disk mode solution may not work.
* Most likely, Disk Utility, Norton Utilities, TechTool and DiskWarrior cannot fix the issues.
* The high level disk format (Standard format) may unable to perform.
* You may unable to re-initialize the hard drive.
* A disk physically malfunctions in the worst case.
Example of an accompanied error message:
DiskWarrior normally fixes 1 to 6, but cannot fix errors 7 to 10 if the symptoms are very bad. There is no definite case.
01. Volume check failed
02. Invalid B-tree Header
03. Invalid map node
04. Invalid extents entry
05. Invalid clump size
06. Incorrect block count file
07. Invalid node structure
08. Overlapped extent allocation
09. Keys Out of Order
10. Invalid sibling link
Related documents:
What to Do When It Finds an Error
Technical overview of disk volume structures
Possible causes:
* Third-party FireWire device or enclosure, or other peripheral devices.
* Third-party mass storage drives or PCI card issues.
* Incompatible third-party kernel extensions.
* Mac OS X installer disc is improperly treated.
Solutions:
If possible and needed, back up data before troubleshooting. Methods (4) and (5) are for Power Mac desktop computers other than G5 models. The best bet is method (4) if you encounter multiple bad errors.
1. Unplug the power cord. Disconnect all third-party hardware except Apple keyboard and mouse before you start.
2. Do NOT re-install any third-party software/hardware until you completely solve the issue(s) and carefully investigate the compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3.x you install.
3. If another critical error "Invalid sibling link" is detected at any phases, disconnect and reconnect all internal power cords and data cables for hard drives and any ATAPI device. To do so, you may need to read the computer's CIP Instructions in advance. Normally, you do not need to remove third-party RAMs.
Method 1:
(1) Start up from Mac OS X 10.3.x Panther Full Install CD or DVD.
(2) Re-initialize and re-partition the hard drive. RECOMMENDATION: Select "Zero all data" option if "Invalid node structure" or "Keys Out of Order" error is detected.
If this method is of avail, go to Method 2 or greater.
Method 2:
(1) Start up in Mac OS 9.2.2 and shut down the computer.
(2) Start up from a copy of a Disk Warrior bootable CD for Mac OS 9.2.2.
(3) Run DW to fix the damage(s).
Method 3:
(1) Unplug the computer.
(2) Find a second ATA drive and jumper it as MASTER. Jumper the hard drive in question as SLAVE. Verify the jumper pin settings.
(3) Install Mac OS 9.2.x system on the MASTER drive, and update it to Mac OS 9.2.2.
(4) Start up from Mac OS 9.2.2. Re-initialize and re-partition the damaged hard drive with Drive Setup using the "Zero all data" option. Unplug the computer and reconfigure the jumper pin setting on the repaired drive for MASTER and the second drive for SLAVE.
(5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition the repaired drive to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
You may want to try starting up from Mac OS 9.2.x Full Install CD instead of from (2) to (4).
Method 4:
(1) Find a desktop computer that has an ATA controller PCI card (SCSI environment) and has two hard drive bays. This will make your damaged drive appear as a quasi-SCSI hard drive. Mac OS 9.2.2 must be pre-installed on the computer. I recommend a host computer that installs an Ultra DMA/xxx or xxx (ATA-x) interface equal to or better than the damaged drive with backwards compatible.
(2) Set the host computer's primary drive as MASTER and your damaged hard drive as SLAVE and install the damaged drive in the second drive bay of the host computer. Verify properly configured jumper pin settings in advance.
(3) Start up the host computer from Mac OS 9.2.2. Launch the "Drive Setup" utility. Re-initialize the damaged disk on the second drive using the "Low level format" option. It may take hours but less than "Zero all data" option. Note: Normally, a low level format with a quasi-SCSI drive takes much less (30 - 40%) time than an ATA configuration drive. Note that "Low level format" fixes all difficult logical damage.
(4) Put the fixed disk back in your computer's drive bay. Re-configure the jumper pin setting to MASTER before you place it into the drive bay of your computer.
(5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition it to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
Note that Panther's Disk Utility does not implement a "Low level format" option.
Method 5:
If Method 4 does not work or fix the damaged drive, let me know. You may need an advanced technique to fix it if the drive is physically not a problem.
OPTION:
Purchase a known good hard drive that conforms to your computer's ATA specification. Fix the damaged hard drive some other time. Nowadays, prices of hard drives are inexpensive.

Can't turn off crossfade?

Just got a new iPod Nano 6th G, and I can't turn off crossfading! Every time I skip tracks, it crossfades the old one into new.
I have the 'Audio Crossfade' options in Settings -> Music turned off, and it still crossfades.
Is there some setting in iTunes I need to make? Help!

From the user's guide:
"Crossfading Between Songs
You can set iPod nano to fade out at the end of each song and fade in at the beginning of the song following it.
To turn on crossfading:
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings.
2. Tap Music, and then tap [the off switch] next to Audio Crossfade."
From the OPs first post:
"I have the 'Audio Crossfade' options in Settings -> Music turned off, and it still crossfades."
So I guess they did read the user's guide.

Can't turn off voiceover

I have an iPod Nano 5th generation and I can't turn off the voiceover function. I don't want to hear it.
I've gone to the options panel and deselected the "enable voiceover" box. But on my ipod it's still on. I've tried many, many times and did just as the manual said.
Can anyone help? Does this have to do with any sync settings or something?

Hello blingdogg,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Connect your iPod to your PC and when it appears in iTunes, remove the tick mark next to *Enable VoiceOver* as well and then sync the updated changes to your iPod. Any luck there?

Can't turn off my ipod

suddenly I can't turn off my ippod and it's new. I tried resetting and even restored it. Only can be turned of if connected to the computer.Can somebody help?
Thanks
Rudy

sounds like it needs a full reset.
i've seen this where the nano hangs ok 'OK TO DISCONNECT' too.
toggle the LOCK key (on top) to ON and then back to OFF again.
then hold down the middle button (in the middle of the click wheel) whilst also pressing the top MENU button.
hold for approx 5-10 seconds and a small APPLE logo should appear, thus reseting the ipod.
NOTE: This will not cause loss to any music files.
