Nano 6th generation - flashing and flickering white screen loop
I have an issue that does not seem to be exactly answered anywhere.
1. The screen was bad and was not responsive when unplugged from the computer. Black screen, no nothing.
2. When connected to the computer it would show up in iTunes, however the screen would go to a white screen for 3 seconds then go out, then you would get about a minute of very faint flickers then back to a white screen for 3 seconds. This would continue indefinately (Let it go for 2 hours).
3. Even though it was like this I was able to upgrade the iOS and register it and so on.
4. Figuring it was the screen I purchased a new one and replaced it. While replacing it I was able to see the screen and flip through it and so on. At this point it was working although the battery had almost zero power.
5. Finished reassembly, plugged it in the computer. It is now not recognized by itunes and is in the infinate loop of flashes and flickers.
6. When not connected to the computer there is nothing just black.
7 It also does the flashing and flickering when plugged into the wall.
8. I did go back and carefully disconnected all connectors and reconnected them all as I saw this as a solution in a post. Still flashes and flickers when plugged in.
9 None of the reset procedures do anything.
Ok all you experts what is the issue? It is very frustrating especially since it was working.
same problem as mine, don't know what to do either, when you find out please post.
thanks!

I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

Nano 6th Generation case and plastic cover recommendations
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a Ipod nano (6th Gen) case and the plastic covers that go over the glass to protect from scratching. What brands are out there? All I have seen on Apple website is the watchlike band. I prefer a protective clear case and a protective sheet over the glass. Thanks a lot Apple members.
MactheminiI am having huge problems synching my new Nano 6th Gen to my Mac while 2 other earlier Ipods work perfectly. My problem relates to the fact that I use smart playlists and their contents get all messed up on the new Ipod when I try synching. Symptoms include both missing songs on the Ipod and songs in artist name sequence instead of sequence on Itunes, both problems that raise questions about quality of software released for 6th gen. I went to talk to genius at Apple store and he indicated that Apple is moving away from smart playlists on Ipods and so suggested that I create dumb playlists on Itunes and copy the contents of my smart playlists to the dumb playlists and then synchronize those to the Ipod. That does work but it's a pain in the behind each time I add any songs to Itunes that get added to the smart playlists as I have to go through this whole time consuming process just to get the songs to show up on my Ipod. I also hope that Apple gets the synching problem fixed quickly.

My iPod 6th Generation has a blank white screen and is apparently corrupted
I have tried restoring, and just don't know what else to do, pleeaase help!
Also, what happened to cause this? Is it the iPod? Or computer? (Macbook Pro)Have you tried a reset or restore of the device in iTunes to see if that helps? To reset the device, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, connect the iPod to your iTunes library and click the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab.
If the issue still persists, it's likely hardware related. A white screen could be the result of a loose LCD ribbon cable, or a damaged LCD screen. Either way you'll need to have the iPod serviced in order to gain fully functionality of it again.

Hi, I just bought a new ipod nano and used it 3 times. Today it did not work and I first believed that the battery was too low. I connected the device to the mac. Sync worked well and charge indicator as well. Nevertheless, the screen remained black. I therefore tried to reset the device and after the resetting, the screen remains as black as before. Any solution ? thanks and regards
If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

My nano 6th generation is showing a diagnostic screen"N20 Snowfox (4A0432)"
How do I get rid of this screen??
Do a Reset (restart)

You should also do this if your iPod ever gets "stuck" and becomes unresponsive. Like rebooting your computer. -

Hello I just found a problem with my Ipod nano 6th generation. It worked fine an hour ago but then the screen turned a dark grey. Did the restore through Itunes and then it went white. But now it's totally unresponsive and seems to be off even when it is plugged into itunes. Can't even restore it. I get Error 1415?
Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
If y can't make a backup then you will either have to:
- restore from an existing backup
- Contact a data recovery company
- Maybe after restoring via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS: iPhone Data Recovery - Wondershare Official
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

My ipod nano 6th generation turns off after she tells me the screen is dimming than ipod goes off.
I wanted to know if there is someone at Apple that can give me some guidance on how to use my ipod nano 6th generation. I am not sure if I am working it properly or if there is something wrong with it.
I cannot get back to home page; I shut it off and on and it just stays on same page. I cannot take the voice constantly interrupting the song or functions;
When you set an album in play it will just play the first song over and over never going to next song. The genius interrupts and starts randomly playing different songs; when you select a song the voice comes and and tells you the screen is dimming and then seconds later it turns off.
I have tried to read the directions put the ipod won't allow me to follow.
Please help!Is VoiceOver turned on? See here for more help on how to turn it off if need be.
