Nano in redundancy - Please Help!!

Please help - My nano keeps reseting itself. The Apple logo comes on, the screen goes blank, and then the Apple logo comes on again. IT just keeps doing this. I can't reset it, and iTunes won't read it while it is doing this. What do I do? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

See if you can put it in disk mode. As soon as it resets, push center + play/pause. Then, you can do a restore in disk mode.

Ipod Nano Locked Up PLEASE HELP!!!

Ok, I purchased a second generation 4gig green Ipod nano on Monday. For some strange reason today it locked up. Now it refuses to work at all. It is stuck with the backlight on and the music paused. I do not know what I did worng or if it is my Ipod. It was working perfectly. Then I pressed pause and it screwed up. If nobody can help me by tommorrow I will have to take it back. Also, my computer just managed to detect it. It told me I should restore it so I told it yes. Now it keeps having the error message "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." Somebody please help me.

Igor, could you tell me what you did to fix it? My
iPod fell out of my locker and now my iPod's stuck on
hold!
Are yu saying that the hold switch doesn't work to get it out of "Hold"? Have you tried (with the hold switch in the left or off position) to reset it: press and hold Menu and Select (center) buttons at the same time for at least 6 seconds?

Error message when connecting Nano to computer - please help!

I just started getting an error message when I try to disconnect my Ipod Nano from my computer after it's done charging/updating. The message tells me the device can't be stopped because other programs are utilizing files on my nano.
I tried restarting my computer, but it froze. It's happened twice now and I have had to disconnect it when it says not to. Please help!

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

Hi Guys,
I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have.
Hi VS,
What "reading device" are you using?
As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
How long was it "stuck?"
I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

Intermittent nano...PLEASE HELP!

I have a 2GB Nano that was purchased last November. I experienced problems with it this summer, but when I spoke to the staff at the Apple store, in Toronto, they told me restoring the ipod to its factory settings should fix the issues (it wouldn't play certain songs, and was not recognized by itunes).
However, as I was in Toronto on a work term, I waited until I was home in Halifax before restoring it, as I did not have access to my songs.
Now, one week later, I have been experiencing constant problems. While playing, the click wheel appears to freeze, and no buttons will work (but the song will keep playing). It often takes two or three tries to reset it as well. This will happen a couple times a day.
Do I have any recourse besides enacting the warranty?

If these don't help, The Five Rs, then I would be inclined to take advantage of the warranty before it expires.

Issues with New Ipod 3rd Gen Nano!! Please help!!

HELP!!!
I bought a new IPOD Nano for Xmas and it doesn't appear to be working.
It automatically syncs once then appears to completely disconnect, so when you then try to "apply" new settings or re-sync it fails.
I checked on "My Computer" and for the first few mins it appears as an external drive, then once again completely disappears.
This means I can't change any settings on how I want my IPOD to sync., for example adding new films that were previously unchecked...
Hope this makes sense!!
Has anyone else had any issues like this? Is there an easy way of solving this?
I've tried updating the software (which now says is uptodate) and resetting the factory settings.
I'd appreciate all the help I can get on this
My email address: [email protected]
Thanks

Hi there,
I'd suggest first resetting the iPod (check the online manual for that) and then restoring the latest software using iTunes.
Good luck!

Please help! My screen has gone blank, and more problems!

Hi, I hope someone can help!
1) Yesterday, I was listening to my ipod and changing the songs, when it suddenly the songs began changing on shuffle every second mid-song!
2) Eventually it stopped, but then it really slowed down and would take about 5 seconds to react to me pressing the buttons or changing a song!
3) Then today, after I had finished using it whilst running, the screen went completely blank, but the music was still working fine. The screen is now still blank, unless I tip it vertically and then I can just about make out an extremely faded outline of the wrting and page format. Also there now appears to be a white smudge/mark on one side of the screen!
What is happening to my ipod and what can I do about these problems? I have had my ipod for only a couple of months!
I would be very grateful of anyone could help!
Thank you,

PLEASE HELP!!! Somehow my entire iTunes library got deleted, and I cannot sync all my music that I put on from cd's (which I no longer have). All the purchased music has been synced, but nothing else! All my other devices are synced with iCloud and lost the material as well ... I am so frustrated, because the nano has not been working properly, and I am afraid of losing it forever, and of course the cd's I backed everything with are MIA!!!! GRRR! Please HELP!!!
Thank you so much!

I can't tell from your post what you have and what you don't have. Are you saying the files are no longer on your computer, no longer on your iPod, or both?

I just bought a 7th gen Nano, no matter what I try, it will not let me load videos to it, I downloaded 5 off Itunes, it still tells me they wont play on my ipod, ive tried to convert them to every type of format possible, please help me

I have tried everything I can try, I figured downloading them from Itunes they would go straight onto my Nano, but it wont let me put any of them on there, I cannot find anything anywhere on the internet, nothing, I am so furious, I have converted them to any and every possible format, and this fking thing will not load one of them, so before I finally lose it(my temper) and destroy my brand new Nano, can someone please please help me, I am generally pretty well versed in this kind of stuff, and can figure things out, but nothing I do will let me do anything, I am stuck, and this is not acceptable, and will possibly be the last time I purchase anything other then a desktop from Apple, they are not making things easier and more convienent, they are making things harder and more monotonous, can somebody please point me to what im doing, or not doing? thank youj

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?
