Nano 6th Gen Screen Blank but recognized by itunes

My 6th Generation Nano that I had gotten as a part of the iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program suddenly went blank today.
The ipod is being recognized by itunes but I'm unable to get the screen to turn on.
I have reinstalled itunes, tried resetting the nano ( volume button + Sleep/Wake button)... itunes syncs and recognizes the nano when it is plugged into the computer however the screen remains blank. I have not dropped the ipod anywhere..however i've been using it a lot to track my runs using nike plus.( Unable to track my runs from 2 days since the blank screen incident )
Can someone tell me if they came across such an issue? And How did you resolve it?
Thanks!

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

Hello there, 209girl.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for how to delete your playlist:

Additionally, the iPod User's manual shows how to delete it from the iPod itself (on page 26):

My Ipod Nano (6th Gen) screen is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. i got this thing this morning and i really regret it!! HELP!!

HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
My brand-new IPod Nano (6th gen) is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. This happened right after ITunes said it was in recovery mode. The ipod said "do not disconnect" before and, Like an idiot i disconnected it, now it says "ok to disconnect". it has been like that for over an hour. I think it's a bit of a lost cause. im about ready to hammer this thing. Can anyone help???????

Go to your Main Menu, then Setting and then Reset Settings. That helped me once with another issue.

Nano 6th generation won't be recognized by itunes

I've had the 6th generation nano for many months and up until a couple weeks ago, it was able to sync with itunes and be reconginzed. However, now when I connect it to my windows lenonova, it doesn't come up as a ipod but rather an external hard drive (keep in mind, not tech savvy with terms) and nothing comes up in itunes. Please help. I have reinstalled itunes, the drivers for the ipod, reset the ipod but don't know what to do now. Thanks.

Hello cocow67
Start your troubleshooting with the article below to get your iPod nano to show back up in iTunes. Check to make sure that it shows up in Windows, if it does not there is a link in the article to troubleshoot that part as well.

IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
Thanks for any Replies

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2.
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes. I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !

No can do. You haven't told us what you have done!

Why won't my ipod nano 6th gen not show up on my iTunes or on my computer?

I have gone through all of the steps to make it work, but still no luck. What should I do? It has never done this before.

Hi riciatay42,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below should help you with this:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the USB Drivers are installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to remove iTunes and all of its components as outlined in this article:

I hope this information helps ....

Ipod nano 6th gen not recognised at all in itunes or windows

Nano was recognised as a device first two times i used it but now not recognised in itunes or in my computer as an ipod. Followed various help suggestions but no change. Does t need software restoring and if so how if not recognised in itunes?

This problem now solved after a few hours browsing Apple help and other forums like this - tried connecting through usb ports at rear of computer instead of front and instantly itunes recognised it. Odd since I can still connect my camera through front usb ports - the mystery of computers eh? Anyone know how to fix front usb ports?
