Nano Frozen Between Screens

My Nano is frozen between the Menu and Now Playing screens. Both are partially visible. It will not reset or respond at all when plugged in to wall outlet or PC. It is also not being recognized in ITunes.
What should I do?

I am experiencing the same problem but none of the solutions work. Tried pressing and holding the two buttons as instructed, tried all the dreaded Five R's (more than once through entire cycle with no luck), and nothing. This is my second Nano 8 Gb (2nd gen). First one had same issue and I had to replace it. Great product but latest software is very buggy. Any additional ideas? When my battery dies again (when frozen like this screen is constantly on and slowly drains battery), should I do something different? Since I've gone through this with two Nano's now, I've tried every combination of things I could think of and that were suggested here and elsewhere on web. Thanks!

  • Ipod nano frozen with screen on

    just had my ipod over 2 days. worked really fine and I was so pleased with it. but now...when i turned it on, it did not play the music. It is in pauze mode,and frozen. My pc does not recognize when i connect it. I tried several usb 2.0 ports but no response. I tried to restore (hold menu+play for 10 sec): no solution. I re-installed the software: no solution.
    Anybody with ideas?
    Also, when it was working i could not find the option button in the right bottom corner of the screen.
    I think i'll just return it and have it replaced?

    Jeff,
    No. This was done whilst disconnected from the PC. I only connected to the PC to see if that would trigger the controls buttons. It's actually my sons iPod and he is pretty well despondent now. The only thing I can think of is to try and reset factory settings....what do you think?
    The problem is that the unit was purchased in Japan and I am living in Bangkok. If it is a faulty unit then I will have to ask my Japanese business friend to return it on his next trip.

    Hi there beee19,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen screen is scrambled

    I have a 2nd gen Ipod nano and the screen is either blank or scrambled.  I tried to reboot it by holding down the menu and center button simultaneously and that had worked in the past but not this time.  Before I would get the Apple logo on the screen but nothing now. 

    Have you tried any of the standard 5 r's of troubleshooting yet?  If so, and the issue still persists, your iPod's LCD is damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • Mac desktop frozen blue screen

    Need help with frozen blue screen during start up.  I have Mac Desktop.  Any ideas please?

    Try booting in Safe Mode.  Power down the Mac, wait 10 seconds, reboot the system... when you hear the system chime, hold down the shift key.  Don't press the shift key before the chime, just after you hear it.  Release the shift key once the Apple logo appears.
    To leave Safe Mode, just restart your Mac but don't hold the shift key down during the boot process.

  • HT4855 iMac mail open and mouse has frozen on screen, new batteries in mouse..no change. turning iMac off and back on ..no change. need advice asap

    Imac mail open and mouse has frozen on screen...please advise?

    The Mac uses an "All devices active" philosophy with pointing devices and keyboards.
    If you have additional pointing devices attached, especially a graphics tablet, it is still directing mouse operations at the same time as the mouse you have your hand on. The end result is the SUM of commands from all such devices.

  • My ipod keeps freezing up between screens

    My ipod keeps freezing up between screens.. it won't reboot... the only way i can fix it is to let the battery die and recharge it...
    Message was edited by: bambie

    When your iPod freezes, it's not necessary to wait until the battery drains, you should just be able to reset it. If the freezing persists, then try restoring it.
    Yes, you should be able to get it serviced under the warranty if the fault persists.

  • Is it possible to use booleans to build a VI that uses buttons to switch between screens (3 only) while the other screens disappear?

    As a beginner, I need help figuring out how to build a simply VI that uses boolean logic to switch between three different screens. I need a "Home" screen, the next screen which has a button to go back "Home" and a third screen which has two buttons to go "Home" and "Previous Screen". Can someone help me with a simple block diagram?

    Hi,
    Or put the data in three tab controls. The tabs itself are hidden. The
    program switches between the tab sheet if one of the buttons is pressed.
    The buttons are best not copied, e.g. the same buttons are used in every tab
    sheet (buttons hover above the tab, a black shadow will apear). If the first
    sheet is shown, button 2 and 3 are hidden, sheet two: only button 3 is
    hidden, sheet three no button is hidden.
    Showing the tabs allows the user to choose the views directlly. The button
    logic is not needed anymore. But you'll have to live with a simple tab
    sheet, instead of a fancy button system!
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • How do I restart a frozen safari screen for the iphone 4gs?

    How do I restart a frozen safari screen for iphone 4gs?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem... Settings > Safari > Clear History, Cookies and Cache

  • Why can't I move some apps between screens?

    I am unable to move most apps between screens. After making it movable, and attempting to move the app to another scene, it just bounces off the edge.

    Hi: It can indeed be a tricky maneuver until you get accustomed to it. When the Icon you wish to move is at the edge, hold it in that position for a second or 2, it should then jump to the next screen.
    Hope this helps
