Nano 4th Generation Bricked iTunes 11.1.4.62

iPod Nano 4th Generation
Windows 7 SP1
iTunes 11.1.4.62
Battery 100%
Was in the middle of restoring Nano when iTunes 11.1.4 spit out an error and stopped restoring. Unable to hardreset using click wheel. Uninstalled iTunes and associated software, rebooted and installed new iTunes 11.1.4.62 with out success. Windows 7 identifies Nano as Apple mobile device (driver 6.0.9999.65 dated 12-12-2012).
Plugged Nano into USB power without any success. Tried different USB ports, no success. Cable works, so..at this point I am stuck, any constructive ideas would be appreciated.

You can't as clickwheel games are no longer available in the iTunes Store.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!

No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My ipod nano, 4th generation, is not being recognized by my computer or itunes

my ipod nano, 4th generation, is not being recognized by my computer or itunes, what do i do? I've tried using different cords, but nothing will pick it up.

I am experiencing the same issue. I have Mavericks with updated iTunes, reset both, not detected

IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

"I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,
Jeremy

My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing. Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired. For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below.
When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs... Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod. If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

How do I manually transfer music from my MAC to my iPod Nano (4th Generation)?

Recently, I have encountered a problem when trying to drag and drop songs and playlists from my Mac to my iPod Nano (4th Generation). I click on the file in my iTunes Library window but it won't allow me to copy it to my iPod. I've restarted both my Mac and my iPod but it hasn't helped. Do I need to download an update?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do I need to download an update?
Use Software Update to update iTunes if needed. Read the iTunes/iPod Summary page to find out if your iPod Nano needs any updates which you can download from there.
You cannot drag & drop anything to an iPod Nano. You must sync - Syncing Music to iPod

HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC. I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything. When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'. It also states the IPOD is up to date. I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
Thanks

HT204266 How do I buy a game for an ipod Nano 4th generation?

I have received an ipod nano, 4th generation from a friend whose daughter is upgrading. I gave it to my 8 year old, and he wants some games on it. How do I buy Sonic and other games for it? When I went to the itunes store, there didn't seem to be any way to find click wheel games.

You don't. Apple stopped selling ( or app makers quit making) click wheel games some time ago.

I have ipod nano 4th generation. Games is missing in my ipod tabs categories.

Hello Connie,
You may need to scroll over in your iTunes window to see the Games tab or change your monitor's screen resolution.

Using my Ipod Nano (4th generation) with my mac AND my work PC

Hi,
I have previously had a 30gb ipod video and have been able to use it primarily on my mac (for downloading) and have been able to go to work and plug it in and also run it through itunes on my work PC. I recently got the nano 4th generation and have not been able to run it on my work PC. (Im only able to work it on my MAC.) My work pc itunes says something like "this is a mac formatted ipod...please restore your ipod to run with a pc".
Is there a way I can run it on both?

Windows is stupid. It can't understand the mac formatted ipod. Restore the ipod on your windows box and format it for PC. The mac will be able to read the PC ipod just fine after that.

TRANSFERING MUSIC FROM MY PLAYBOOK INTO MY IPOD NANO 4TH GENERATION

Hello lisascrackberry,
We can get very detailed in how to complete this action but simply:
1) Connect PlayBook to Computer
2) Extract Music from the PlayBook using BlackBerry Desktop Software or Windows Explorer to your Computer
3) Upload Music Files to iTunes Libary
4) Sync them to your iPod.
