Nano no longer likes my PC anymore

Hi, this problem is really frustrating me. When I first installed the nano, I was able to use iTunes and transfer all my music. Everything was good. Then the next day, I wanted to put more music on my nano. So I popped the USB plug into it and the nano started to do the weirdest thing. The computer would recognize it for a second and the nano screen would say "Do Not Disconnect". Then like 2-3 seconds later, the nano would show the menu and the computer won't recognize anything being plugged in. However, the battery bar on the nano still shows it is "plugged in". Then sporadically, the "Do Not Disconnect" would show up for a second, then disappear and then show up again and disappear again.
So I thought it might have been the nano itself. So I pulled out my laptop and connected the nano on that and it was fine. I could transfer songs and stuff onto the nano. So then I thought maybe it was my desktop. So I plugged my old 3g 20 gig ipod into it and it works fine too (I even used the same USB plug as the nano). So I am frustrated and lost. I'm not sure if any of you have run into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the top down:
neither DU or console do anything when I insert the disc.
I had updated to 10.4.11 awhile back and did the permission thing both before and after at that time. I also repaired permissions this time (twenty minutes ago), but no help for the super drive.
The article was no help - disc is clean and flat, inserts fully, ejects when asked to, just goes "growl, growl, growl" then ejects. Yes, I've tried more than 1 disc.
I checked for any software updates, only quicktime, itunes and a security update. Didn't see anything about firmware.

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

  • Nomad Jukebox 2 doesnt tell how long a track is anymore

    I can no longer fast forward long sets and tracks anymore because when a song or set is selected, the overall time always says 00:00:00, but the timer on the left counts up like it should.
    I have already tried the clean-up via the recovery mode, then rebooted it, but it still does not work.
    I do NOT know anything about the reload OS, and cant find anything about that on here...will that help? And if so, how do I go about this. I read load via usb on the screen.

    There's a link in the FAQ post that gives you a general breakdown of how it works, but first things first check you have the latest firmware and just upgrade if you haven't.

    No idea why.
    What have you tried to solve?
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried removing the app, tehn adding it back?

  • Nano no longer shows up as device in itunes

    My nano no longer shows up as a device in Itunes.  Connection is good as it still charges, but nothing when I plug it in.  Does not show up as device in windows either.

    Until you fix it, make future purchases in itunes direct.
    Are you using a different computer? Mac or Windows?
    Which iTunes version?
    Any security software potentially blocking access to AppleTV from iTunes.
    AppleTV1 as you know has 2 modes - streaming and syncing.  It has to be configured as a sync library for purchases to transfer to itunes and for you to sync to it.  Synced content appears under My Movies etc.  Streaming only content appears under My Shared Movies etc if a sharing libarry is configured.
    You cannot copy purchases back to a shared itunes library only the sync library.  Both sync and share connected AppleTVs however should appear under Devices in itunes.  Can you send a song to AppleTV from itunes using Airplay?  The fact that you can buy on AppleTV means it's connected to the internet - it does not mean that it is connected with iTunes on your LAN - the 2 things are separate.
    If you no longer have a sync library you would need to change exisitng settings which will delete current synced material but apparently (never tested so can't be sure) not non-backed up purchases.
    Under AppleTV's Settings>Computers menu, the top entry is teh sync library - if this is greyed out then either it's no longer available (eg different computer) or AppleTV and itunes are not connected.  If you select it and choose to remove it,you can re-add the AppleTV to itunes afresh - if itunes doesn't see the AppleTV requesting a pairing when you try this either there's a communication/network issue (hardware or software related) or perhaps itunes installation corruption.
    Good luck.

  • HT1386 I have an ipod nano and would like to sync it to a new computer but when I try to do it, it tells me that i will loose all my music and pictutes in my nano to be replaced with what I have on itunes.  can anybody help?

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • My Nano no long is syncing....how do I get the music from my Nano to my computer?

  • I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

    I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

    With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
    As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.

  • I want my nano to update like my shuffle, but no luck!

    the one thing i loved about my shuffle was it's ability to be inserted and automatically fill with ONLY the EXACT amount of songs that space would allow.
    on my nano, i've been trying to do it manually, only to find that it will fill only as far as it can get in the playlist--not randomly.
    so i tried the trick of creating a smart playlist, and set it to fill up with 3G of songs from a certain playlist, a playlist that is 4.39G. (i wish it would allow me to set 3.5 but alas it won't do fractions).
    so i created a second playlist to fill up to 500MB.
    Youd think I'd be up to 3.5G, right? nope, it won't fill. you apparently have to have not one kilobyte more than what's in the song playlist or it just won't fill it up to it's limit.
    Any workarounds here? I just simply want my nano to act like my shuffle. Seems like a script has been written, why not apply it to the Nano like apple did to the shuffle?
    ::confused::

    Your expectations are not based in reality.
    Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.

  • My Ipod Nano no longer goes to full volume.  Can this be fixed?

    Recently, I have found that my Ipod Nano (2nd generation) no longer plays music at full volume.  While it is generally sufficiently loud, at the gym, with all the external noise, I have trouble hearing some of my music.  Is there a fix for this problem?

  • Firefox Sync is the most infuriating thing ever, how has it lasted this long like this?

    I'm sorry if this comes across as more of a rant than a query, but I am absolutely disgusted with how incredibly difficult it is to get Firefox Sync working properly (or perhaps how easy it is to break it).
    I opened a previous support thread @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/983868 but I was unable to get any advice that seemed to change anything.
    I have tried 2-3 more times on the latest Firefox (27 I believe) with new profiles, clearing my sync data, and every possible combination inbetween, and I can never get my devices to sync reliably past, even the "First sync" progress bar fails while adding devices #2, 3, etc.
    I got so desperate that I decided to try Nightly's new Sync (Firefox 30), hoping that things would have improved without the need for a Sync key (since I was confusingly getting sync key errors, despite entering it manually). Low and behold it STILL does the same thing, except that now I'm provided with an even more transparent service. I am unable to view my data quota, and Firefox doesn't even ask me for my master password now when I hit sync. That, and it's STILL complaining about the lack of a recovery key, when there is no such thing as a recovery key anymore, what the heck?!
    In the course of a few hours I have created dozens of error logs, and this is all by trying to use just 1 Desktop installation and 1 mobile installation. I have probably approached burning over 20 hours trying to get Firefox Sync to work, and it's apparent that the feature is just flat out broken.
    Even with all of the errors, some things sync properly like Tabs and occasionally preferences, but other things like history, bookmarks, and add-ons never work after the initial sync (or even during the initial sync). It seems though that the further away I get from the initial sync point, the less reliably these features work.
    This may fall on deaf ears, but I thought I'd reach out for help one last time to see if anyone can help, or perhaps point me to a place where I can receive more technical support. If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated. My logs can be found here
    Firefox 27: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqZkMyZ3R5MTVRWFE&usp=drive_web
    Firefox 30: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqWXFtb3Y2ZWxiQ1U&usp=drive_web

    I'm not exactly sure if that's a statement or a question, but it doesn't really pertain to my predicament.
    I created an entirely new Sync account with brand new Nightly profiles, the only thing I brought over was my places.sqlite file, as I could not transport my history via any other means (passwords, bookmarks, add-ons, etc I all did via other methods).
    The initial sync usually works, but after that things just don't seem to work correctly.
    I also ran into another problem in that I cannot delete my sync data via
    * https://account.services.mozilla.com/
    I also tried deleting the account, which kind of seemed to work as I was no longer able to log in via the above website; however when I tried to create a new Sync account with the same e-mail address, it said an account already existed. I tried logging in to my deleted Sync account via Nightly, and it logged in as if it was never deleted.

  • HT1339 For some unknown reason my Ipod,Nano no longer will shuffle the tunes, can anyone help me fix this?

    My IPod, Nano will no longer shuffle the tunes, instead it simply plays one tune over and over, can anyone help me fix this problem?

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

  • Nano no longer recognized by Windows

    I have a first generation Nano. It was connecting to Windows XP machine just fine and iTunes worked great --- until yesterday. Now it's no longer seen by iTunes, or by My Computer. I've reset the iPod and tried everything else on the support site.
    I have two iPods, two computers and two cables. The other iPod connects just fine with either computer and either cable, so I know it's not the computers or cable. This iPod doesn't connect on either computer with either cable.
    This iPod plays music just fine -- it just doesn't connect to the computer.
    In iTunes I've done Help/Diagnostics/iPod Dignostics. The result is "red" under "iPod Connection Status," with the following text:

    Any advice?

    I've had this problem and given the advice to others and it has worked for some. This isn't mentioned in any other advice that I can see but it is a simple check that you should do, not very technical either!
    With your iPod plugged in to the computer, first go through the 5R's and other help topics to check the basics (new cable, different computer, different USB port etc.)
    If no luck, check to see if your iPod exists in Device Manager as follows: right-click on My Computer, then click on Manage, then Device Manager, then expand the section called Disk Drives on the right hand side and see if the iPod is shown there, if it is, go on to the next stage.
    In the same Computer Management box, click on Disk Management on the left hand side, after a few seconds a new box opens on the right and should show all of the disks on your computer including the iPod. Then right-click on the iPod information and it will give you an option to Change the drive letter or path....click on that and then select Change; select a new drive letter which is not already assigned to any other disc (I picked Z down the bottom), save that then exit and see if it works. Good luck!
