My very messed up ipod nano

I've had my Ipod nano for about a month, I havent used it that mcuh, havent dropped it, gotten it wet, or anything like that. Since a couple days ago it's had two problems:
When I pick a song other than the Sk8er boi live acoustic EP, it just scrolls through the songs until it gets to it (sk8erboi). the only way I can get it to stop scrolling is by getting out of "Songs" or by putting it on pause, and even then I can only go through the rating, the picture, etc...
The second thing is that at least one of the songs I bought off i-tunes that have the pic of the cd has the picture that goes with the Avril Lavigne live acoustic EP (most of the songs I got off i-tunes are from that cd) instead of it's regular one.
I was wondering if there is a way I can fix it that deosn't involve taking it apart, or should I just get it exchanged?

i would try restoring the ipod, a while ago my ipod was doing some weird things and i restored it using the ipod updater and it works like new now.

    You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store for a fee, get a 3rd party site to repair it, sell it for parts, or get a new one.

  • Messed up ipod nano

    I just got my ipod a little over a month ago, and i had it in my pocket until i took it out and my screen is partically screwed up, its cracked from the inside...like i can only see a part of the screen the rest appears blank there is a black line in the bottom left. I was wondering if apple can cover this cuz i just got the ipod....or how much will it be to fix it...
    someone please help me.
    thank you for your time

  • ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music.  Very disappointed!

    Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
    When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
    By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and  synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option).  I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
    I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano.  I have to  re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
    However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
    What a big mistake.
    Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

    Had the same issue when I changed computers.  I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now.  There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.

  • When connecting iPod Nano to USB 2 Port it becomes very warm

    I have a new iPod Nano. I connected it to the PC via USB 2 and the iPod started to be very hot on the top of ots back (behind the screen).
    I disconnected it immediately, and tried again with another computer. I had the same problem.
    Any advice?

    My ipod nano will not play through the USB cable on my 'ipod ready' car stereo. I think it is coz my files are saved as AAC files not MP3 and thats what the stereo recongises. How do i change this, as you say in previous comments that ipod selects AAC files as a default?
    Please help, everyones else i know can play their ipod on my car stereo, just not me!!!
    Any one know what to do???

  • VERY unstable iPod Nano (crashes every time in iTunes) plz help!

    Hi Folks,
    As I wrote earlier in this thread, the iPod nano I bought for my GF (and the one before that) suffered from the 'updater bug'. At least I know now how to revive it, thanks to the great tips of a few users here, but it's a nuisance that the nano(s) tend to crash every time I want to add some music to it via iTunes. Not to say it's absurd for a mp3 player in this category to have so many bugs apparently.
    I looked up the computer's system log, and it appears it registers a 'disk' warning, logged as 'event 51' every time the iPod is connected to my notebook. If it's not connected, it never gives such a warning. When you click on the warning it states: "fault discovered on appliance \Device\Harddisk1\D during a file exchange operation". [NB: my OS is in Dutch, so I translated it as best I could, it may not be the exact text it'd be in English.]
    What usually happens is that the iPod 'freezes' at the moment I manually add songs to it. Subsequently I get the familiar "use iTunes to reset your iPod" message on the nano's screen, and I have to go through the whole formatting/reset procedure again, as described in the other thread I mentioned above. I had some succes adding music with the 'auto sinc' option, but nevertheless, it crashed again when I wanted to update the music on the nano, still using the 'auto sinc'.
    So every which way I want to add music, the iPod crashes! Only after a full format/restore operation it sometimes accepts music, but as soon as I want to add/update the music on the iPod nano again it crashes...
    As said, this behaviour is very annoying as well as time consuming, and I'm on the verge of returning the iPod to ask my money back. But as it's a gift, I'd rather see it working like it's supposed to work.
    Many thanks in advance for your help, it'd be most welcome!
    Some facts and figures:
    - The nano is updated to V 1.2 using updater 2006-06-28 -
    - iTunes is updated to V 6.5 -
    - I use a Travelmate 800 notebook with Win XP Pro [fully updated except SP2]
    - I did try connecting the nano to different USB ports (3) with no notable difference.

  • I had my Ipod nano 7Gen factory restored. Nano touch is working smooth without any song init but after i have any of the songs shifted from itune touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue

    I had my Ipod nano 7th Gen factory restored. Nano touch works smooth without any song in-it but after i have any of the songs shifted from itunes, touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue.

    Hello Rohantm,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano (7th generation) touch screen.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
    Touch screen does not accept input
    Clean the screen with a microfiber polishing cloth.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it, because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may be unresponsive; try resetting iPod by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons simultaneously for a least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Sync with iTunes and restore the iPod.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • Video on ipod nano very blocky: can someone help me with this issue?

    So the new ipod nano with 4GB is very nice, and video was a big reason I wanted it. Unfortunatelly, a few videos turn up very, very blocky and corrupted while they look smooth as ever on my computer screen in all it's MPEG4 glory. 2 minute video with file sizes as large as 10 MB end up looking like junk. But, even though I use the same file types (MPEG4) among all my videos, some videos work great while others don't.
    Is this a problem with my iPod and I need a new one?

    What type of videos are these? From DVDs, itunes, ect? Or lower quality stuff like Youtube? Are you using a program to convert video files so you can use them on your nano? If so what app? The nano and ipod classic seem to work best with the file format h.264 up to 640x480 res.

  • Ipod Nano 2gb charges very slowly

    HI...
    My Ipod Nano 2gb needs about 24 hours to charge...
    My is not covered for service anymore but maybe there is a solution without sending it to apple...
    Please help me
    marggi

    After the 24 hours does it have a full charge, or just a partial charge? If it is a partial charge or considerably less then the original charge you might want to consider getting a new battery. You can send it out to get a new battery or replace it yourself with a high capacity replacement. You can go on ebay or the web and search for a high capacity battery for your nano. It will come with the tools required to take it apart and instructions for take apart. It is not a very hard job to do and if you have any mech skill it will be a quick and cheap fix.

  • Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

  • Ipod nano screen completely messed up

    I've noticed recently that my Ipod nano screen has become totaly messed up, i can only see the top half of it,where it says Music, Photos, etc. and even that is all deteriorated,whilst the bottom almost look's like a barcode. Although i can still listen to music, volume is inacessible.
    Could some one please help me on this, i just got this recently by winning it from a local radio station and I dearly love it, help would be appreciated.
    PS: this is not something physicly on the screen or the result of a scratched screen, it's the actual inside, where the song information etc. is viewed.
