My new iPod nano has death

I just bought a new iPod nano 4th generation a week ago, and I never took it out from the package until yesterday when I arrived to Colombia. I connected with my pc at 9 pm and then I synchronized with iTunes. It worked perfectly, I could listen to music. Today I also used in the morning and then I turned it off. In the afternoon I tried to turn it on, but it never turns up, the screen is completely black and anything happens. I connected with the computer, but it is not recognized. iTunes does not recognize it either. I will stay in Colombia for a long time. What can I do?

Try resetting by switching the hold switch to on then off again. After doing this hold down the Select button and Menu button on the click wheel for 6-10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears. You may have to resync your ipod by using itunes again to get it working.

My new Ipod Nano has only 14.88GB and not 16GB as promised. Why?

I just bought an Ipod Nano 16GB. I registered it at I-tunes and to my big surprise I realized it only has a capacity of 14.88GB and not 16GB. It is such a difference that it really counts, so I am a bit frustrated.
I have contacted Apple by E-mail, but they keep referring me to another department by saying it is not under their jurisdiction. It is as if they want to silence the matter.
Can anybody explain to me if anything is wrong with my Nano16GB and if so what I shall do next?
Thank you,

This is perfectly normal, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions including the iPod's operating software. You'll see the same thing if you connect any flash memory stick. For instance my 8GB USB memory stick is reported as 7.45 GB. The same thing happens with hard drives. With hard drives, there's a difference between how manufacturers calculate capacity and how the operating system calculates it. You'll see an example of that if you look at the size reported for your own computer hard drive. My 300 GB hard drive is reported as 279.36 for instance.: How much content will fit on my iPod?

New iPod nano a step back

does anyone else think the previous nano is better than the new release?

The new ipod nano has a bigger display and a camera, so just by looking at those you can think it is old. But it came in seven colors and it has a pedometer installed. This makes it a combination of 5 and 6. So if you want to calculate your steps you don't need to buy a Nike+ Sensor, or even a Nike+ or Nike shoe.

Does the new ipod nano have an app store?

Im just wondering if the new IPod nano has a place to get different apps or wallpapers...?

No.

Why has the new ipod nano no connector for a speaker dock? The white blank at the bottom looks as if one was intended, but then there were design problems?

Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
Happy New Year to you all.

hi there,
it sounds like you have just defective speakers ( or connector issue ). better to contact support for replacement.

My Probook has OS X10.4.11 and I can't seem to find 10.5 to update to, all started when i tired new IPOD Nano and said I needed to update, any help?

This all started when I bought my wife a new Ipod Nano and when I plugged it in the computer told me that I had to update to Itunes 10.4. I went to update and after it downloads I go to open and install it, it says that I have to update to OS X 10.6. So I update to OS X 10.6 and it tells me to update to OS X 10.5. I search for OS X 10.5 and everything is OS X 10.5.1 or later. Any help?

Hi Darren,
So you purchased (not a disc from a different Mac) OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and installed it, yes? If so, 10.5 and 10.4 are completely out of the picture, unless you have some older software which requires something in 10.4 or 10.5 (but you make no mention of that).
So, with 10.6 installed, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > select your HD and run Repair Permissions. Allow it to finish > quit DU > go to Apple menu > Software Update > and run all the updates there. Repair Permissions again.
Post back with any issues.

Solved: New iPod nano 8g not seen in My Computer/iTunes after Apple Support

I received this iPod as a Christmas gift and it has taken months to get it working but I am happy to say I finally did. I wanted to post what I did to solve the problem in case anyone else is having the same issue.
Background Information:
- Windows XP operating system (I had to upgrade to SP 2 just for this iPod)
- Computer works fine with an older iPod nano
- New iPod nano would simply bring up the "Install Hardware Wizard" and always resulted in "Cannot Install Hardware"
- Nothing would show up in My Computer
- iPod would say "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" when it was connected
- Under "Services" iPod service was running & Started
- Under "Device Manager" iPod showed up under "Other Devices" with an exclamation/question mark for "iPod" (note: this did not show up under USB controllers)
What I Have Tried That Didn't Work:
- Downloading new iTunes. I did this a few times and ended up with 7.6.1.9
- Uninstall and reinstall iTunes and Quicktime
- Tried Install Hardware Wizard option to search for drivers in c:\WINNT\inf (or c:\windows\inf if that's what you have)
- Restarted computer several times and tried creating a new user in Windows XP
- Tried going to "Right-click-My Computer"-"Manage"-"Device Manager" and uninstalled any instance of iPod (under "Other Devices") and tried refreshing / re-installing
- Tried stopping and restarting the iPod service in "Services"
- Tried restarting iPod, resetting it, all those 5 R's and other Apple support docs online
- Tried finding answers in forums
- Finally today I spent a few hours on the phone with Apple Support, and after repeating everything in their self-help documents online, and it still didn't work, they said "Call Microsoft and tell them you have a driver issue" and that my new iPod needed some additional driver (which is why old iPod works but not new)
So that's where I left off this afternoon. I think I've seen people who haven't had much luck getting Microsoft support to help with iPod issues, so I continued searching online. I tried updating my Video driver from the Gateway.com website and that didn't work.
On the microsoft.com website, the best I could find was a registry change which told me to delete registry keys for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, which I didn't even have so I couldn't try.
Finally, here is the solution to what worked:
I searched for iPod - specific drivers, and on some random help forum - http://www.computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/43267.html
You'll see they mention "usbstor.inf" which needs to be in c:\winnt\inf (or c:\windows\inf). I checked my computer and it was missing. Luckily, it was there on my work laptop which was also recently upgraded to Windows XP so I e-mailed it to myself (glad I didn't have to trust some one online).
I also followed his directions to add "usbstor.sys" from c:\winnt\servicepack files\i386\ to c:\winnt\system32\drivers.
Lastly, I saw some other usb*.inf and usb*.pnf files on my laptop so I decided what-the-heck, I'll grab them all since I only had usbvideo.inf, and thus I extracted the following into my c:\winnt\inf directory: usb.inf, usb.pnf, usbport.inf, usbport.pnf, usbprint.pnf, usbprint.inf, usbstor.pnf, usbtor.inf.
I restarted my computer and right away my iPod magically appeared in MyComputer and when I opened iTunes, it was also successfully there. Funny thing is, Windows Install Hardware Wizard popped up and I pointed it to that directory -- guess what, it didn't work. Apparently that doesn't matter. Every time I plug in my iPod now, I will just skip the "Install New Hardware Wizard" and go straight to iTunes.
I know this was lengthy but I thought I could save some one else hours of checking around--- just go look in your "inf" directory and make sure you have the usbstor.inf file!
Good luck!!!!

I have a new ipod nano and have created an Apple ID and provided all of my account details including address (shipping and billing and debit card). When trying to buy music through itunes I am told to review my account details. i.e. I cannot use itunes!!

I have a new ipod nano but at the moment I am unable to download music through itunes. I'm so disappointed. I have created an Apple ID, reviewed and inputted all of my data for my account and still get told to 'review account' because my ID has not 'been used with Itunes before. Why is this happening and why don't apple have a more intuative way of dealing with this.
Please help, I am completely frustrated.

You'll either have to redeem an iTunes gift card, or create a new ID by following the directions here:

Multiple issues with new IPod Nano+ ITunes 7

I am a formerly happy and loyal Apple user, but have recently become disenchanted due to what I see as bad faith actions.
I bought a new Ipod nano for my wife and brought it home to set up. When I plugged it in, it told me that I needed ITunes 7. Fair enough, I go up to download ITunes 7, only to be told that it won't work with OS 10.2.8 and that I need 10.3.9. There is nothing on the IPod packaging that indicates that I can only use ITunes 7. So as far as I can tell, Apple wants me to pay another $129 to buy a new OS, so that I can use my new ipod. It doesn't give me the option to use it with my existing setup. Is there a workaround so that I can use my ipod with my existing OS?
I started transferring my music collection to a PC to see if I could make it work there, since ITunes 7 works with Windows XP, which I have. This creates a new problem, since I can't seem to get the DRM protected music I bought on my Mac through ITunes to work on the PC. Can't get it to load onto the IPod, which is my whole intent in transferring it. My solution now is to not buy anything more from Itunes, since it will be a pain to transfer it when I change computers. I am not going to burn CDs for 400 songs, just to load them onto another computer. It seems like there are solutions on the web that can help you strip the DRM protection from songs, so I plan on using those to be able to listen to the music that I paid for.
Sor far, I have spent multiple hours trying to make things work. I have no interest in anything other than being able to listen to my music on our Ipods. While I understand the necessity to protect copyrights and limit illicit sharing, Apple has gotten a little too manipulative of a loyal customer base. Apple can count me in the formerly happy, now alienated group.
Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

I just looked at one of the boxes for the new nano, and it has this on the back:
Requires Mac or PC; USB 2.0; Mac OS X v10.3.9

How do I get my new ipod nano to show up ANYWHERE?

I just purchased a new nano to replace my old 1st generation iPod. Windows does not recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in, the iPod will not charge, but it is flashing "DO NOT DISCONNECT". When I click "remove hardware safely" my computer freezes. I've tried the 5 Rs and also reloading the software, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions anyone?

I returned it for a new iPod nano 2nd generation
