My nano is frozen everytime I try to turn it on

Hi everyone,
I have my nano for three days now. Everything works and I am very happy with it. I only have one problem: When the nano is turned off for more then half an hour (approx.) it is frozen, so you can't turn it on without restarting it. This happens everytime. We reinstalled the software and set back the nano but both had not solved the problem. So, to turn on the nano means a restart everytime. Has anyone a solution for it?
Many thanks.
ipod nano   Windows XP  

My nano has this problem, too. My dad got his about six months before I got mine (for Christmas last year), and he also had the problem. I showed him how to reset it, and he was happy with that solution, so I don't know how often he gets it.
It really bugs me, though. I've had to replace regular iPods four times, and this bug doesn't make me feel very confident in the nano's stability. A product that requires a reset just to turn on more than half the time has to have something wrong with it. I'm not at all surprised to hear that other people are experiencing this.

  • My iPod touch froze, now everytime I try to turn it on, it deosnt work

    My iPod touch froze, since then everytime I turn it on, it shows Apple logo for around a minute, then switches off.
    I am wondering what is wrong since my iPod touch has always been in good condition

    Is the battery fully charged?
    If still problem after charging, try:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I would like to know how to fix an ipod video gen 1 that is displaying a skull everytime I try to turn it on

    I have a problem with my ipod video gen 3(classic) I try over and over again to turn it on, try charging it and it does nothing. It just display a skull. What can it be?

    It certainly looks like an iPod Classic, and frankly, I didn't know they could be modified. Well, strictly speaking, it can because it does have an operating system - software that makes it work.
    Anyway, while you wait to see if anyone more knowledgeable has an opinion about the skull, have you tried restoring the iPod. That's done by connecting it to your iTunes and using the Restore button that's on the Device/Summary pane. Have a search through the iPod Classic forum for Restore for more information.
    By the way, all the links that I looked at concerning the skull (on the top right of this thread) are for the iPod Touch. But, as I said...

  • HT4913 I bought a new computer, bought itunes match, but my iphone doesn't recognize that i bought it and wont work.  I am using the same apple id on both but tells me i am not subscribed for it everytime i try to turn it on on my phone.

    help please

    Have you tried logging out of the Store in your iPhone's Settings? iOS devices store your account information upon login, and it looks to me as if your iPhone is still reading your old info prior to subscribing to Match.
    - Go to Settings > Store
    - Tap your Apple ID, then hit Sign Out
    - Go back to Store, sign back in with your Apple ID
    Hope this helps

  • "Hold" switch on nano is frozen

    The "hold" switch on my nano is frozen. It will NOT move. It is in the "on" position, not
    hold." BUT ... when I pick the playlist I want and tap the wheel to begin the music ... the nano also freezes. I can't reset it because the toggle switch won't work. The only thing that works is to let the battery completely run down, recharge it, and then everything works fine ... until the next time.
    Anybody know how to "unfreeze" the switch??

    thanks for the info on how to fix it when it is stuck on hold, mine did that today too and my boyfriend wanted to take it apart to fix it, lol, I told him NO WAY. I will try these suggestiins and see if they work. I would prefer not to restore if I don't have to, I would hate to lose all my music on there.

  • Ipod nano screen frozen, even in usb connection?

    My son's ipod nano 4th generation is completely frozen.  it cannot be turned off.  Plugged into various usb ports with different connectors and this makes no difference.  Tried holding keys down etc.  Nothing works.

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Everytime I  try and sign into my iCloud account it tells me I can't log in due to a server error, but there is nothing wrong with my server . It also wont allow me to view any of my Photos or Documents that i have backed up.

    Hi,
    Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
    Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:
