  • IPod Nano stops working after 1.0.2 firmware update

    I just updated the firmware of my ipod nano last night to 1.0.2. I was using thru out the day when it suddenly stops playing the next music in my playlist. My ipod shows the play icon but there is no sound and the play track is not moving. Tried to play a different music and videos but the same problem occurs. Tried to reset is several times but doesn't fix the problem will try to reset the firmware later when I get home.

    Just got the nano 3rd gen yesterday. Already had a Nano 1st gen. Running Itunes 7.x on windows 2000 os at work (1st gen nano used there). Needed new Nano in a hurry, so went to RShack and bought one. Ran home....Itunes says wont work with Nano 3rd gen. Went to download upgrade for Itunes, and find out the upgrade won't run unless running windows XP or VISTA.... Borrrowed a laptop with XP OS and got latest Itunes. Happy...happy...joy...joy, now I can get Itunes and new Nano to work together. Now gotta get music off old Nano and into new Nano usiing borrowed laptop. (Found a program on net called 'SimpleCenter' to do this.) Xferred music from old Nano to Itunes on laptop, then transferred entire library to new Nano. (Was out of reach of wireless network while doing this, so was unable to 'UPDATE NANO' when prompted by Itunes.)
    Sooo...
    Took laptop over to its owners home (and wirless network) and Updated the firmware to 1.0.2. When supposedly complete, the new Nano starts to Reset continuously (Apple Logo....Menu Screen......Apple Logo.....Menu Screen....Apple Logo etc. etc.) Oh 'darn' ........
    So frustrating.... Disconnected new Nano from laptop during the couple seconds the main menu was showing.
    For grins went to play the solitaire game that comes with new Nano, but comes up with error message saying it (the game) won't load. (Worked fine earlier, before the 'upgrade')
    Oh Mannnn..... I find that there a 'ton' of other 3rd gen Nano usere having same problem with firmware upgrade 1.0.2.
    I will wait for some response from Apple on this issue for a few weeks before I take the device back to dealer. I expect that this problem will be resolved by Apple in quick order in the form of a new firmware upgrade (or something similar). I really don't want to hassle the dealer at this time, and can live with the old Nano at least until the end of November, when I will be needing both Nanos for a special event.

  • How do I get my iPod nano to work in my car again?

    My iPod Nano was working perfectly fine in my car, then all of a sudden it looked as if it was paused. I tried to push play in the car but it would not allow me to listen to music. I"ve also tried changing the chord, the iPod and my car is not muted. The iPod works normal when outside of the car. How do I get my iPod to work inside of my car again?

    In your iTunes music library, if you sort the song list by Album, the songs within each album are sorted using the Track # field.  For the albums that have this problem, is the Track # field for the album's songs correctly entered?
    On the iPod, are you viewing the album by selecting
    Main Screen -> Music -> Albums -> (select album name)
    or by
    Main Screen -> Music -> Artists -> Albums -> (select album name)
    If you go through the Artist path, some songs may not appear on the album song list, because the artist field for some songs (on the same album) can be differently.  For example, one of the album's songs may have a "guest artist" named in in the artist field.

  • Nano only works with iTunes 4.9

    My new Nano only works if I install the software provided with it: iTunes 4.9
    If I upgrade to iTunes 5, or 5.01 it won't work. Even if I do a clean install of iTunes 5. Any clues? Thanks in advance.

    I guess obviously that's what Apple wanted to be used initially with the nano, because that's what comes with the unit.
    I had already installed 5.0 on my computer in anticipation of getting my nano. It worked right out of the box, fo me, with 5.0. A few people had problems, so the fix was to use the disc, 4.9, with the nano and it worked.
    It definitely should work with 5.0 because 5.0.1 is out already. That might be your fix. Use version 5.0.1 of iTunes and see if that works for you.

  • Will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

    will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

    If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

  • New ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

  • My buttons on my nano arent working but i can control the volume and center

    my buttons on my nano arent working but i can control the volume and center buttons and idk y its acting up

    Try Restoring it in iTunes. If that does not work you will probably need to get it serviced.

  • So i have the ipod touch 4thgen and the speaker stoped working right after i got it and i was dumb and didnt return it because it started to work. but now about a year in it only randomly works like one time every month. that lasts for 10min then stops?

    so i got a new ipod touch 4th generation and about three days after the internal speaker stopped working. i was dumb and didn't return it because it worked again for about a month and then stopped. and i was pass the 90 day return time. so i am screwed and now the speaker will work for about 10 minutes every two months so it isnt that handy to me. i know it isn't blown because it will randomly work and when it does i hope it doesn't turn off. i have seen allot of things about this and i think that it is a apple ipod think because allot of other people have this problem. so i think it is great that apple has made these products it is just sad that u pay 200$ for something that breaks after two months. i think they should do a free replacement for any product that has a malfunction because it isn't my fault it is broken and then they expect u to pay another 75$ so they can take it just to give u a refurbished one that will do the same thing.

    Walk it into the nearest Apple Store, politely describe your issue and see what they say there.

  • 5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

    My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.

  • Nano quit working after update to version 1.2

    Brand new nano quit working after update to version 1.2 It worked fine before. My computer see usb storage device but doesn't recognise ipod. ipod updater that worked to let me update doesnt regonise nano either. I returned to store where I bought it, got a new one, brought it home, ran updater again now it the new one is doing the same thing. What gives? I have never had a problem in the past with updater. Is there any way to take it back to version 1.1 since 1.2 doesn't work?

    This fix came from Caspar (Thank you SOOO much!). It took me 10 minutes to do this and now my beloved ipod nano is back! Hopefully this will help some of you:
    Original Problem: Updated iTunes(6.0.5) and iPod nano (1.2). After the update, iTunes would not recognize my iPod and therefore would not let me remove the iPod from my computer, which seems to be the problem most people are having.
    The Fix:
    *uninstall iTunes, iPod, and any updates (make sure anything related to these two programs are not on your computer)
    *Open Control Panel
    *Click the "switch to classic view" link, if
    necessary
    *Double click "administrative tools"
    *Double click "computer management"
    *Under "storage" click on "disk management"
    *Find your iPod's listing
    *Right-click on it and click "format"
    *Select "FAT32" and start the format
    *After reformatting, remove iPod from computer
    *Download iTunes directly from the Apple website (I didn't restart my computer at the prompt)
    *Download 6/28/06 update for iPod (do NOT plug iPod in before doing this!)
    *Open update for iPod and wait until prompt to plug iPod in (do not plug in early)
    *Wait for the update....and there ya have it!!
    Hopefully this will help some people, as I have spent the past 2 weeks doing the 5R's thing. After completing the steps above, I haven't had a problem with my iPod..and now my Nike+ works!! Thanks again, Caspar...you're a genius!!
    p.s. if this helps, please repost this message to others who have the same problem as we do...

  • My nano was working just fine and I had been using it as my fitness watch ( music). I plugged it in to charge and when I came back to unplug it, it was so hot that it burned my hands.  I continued to unplug it and that was the last time it worked.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Downgrade firmware on iPod nano to work with iTunes 5

    Where can I find the firmware for a 3g iPod nano that works with iTunes version 5.0.1? I don't have the old packages in /Library/Packages. No, I don't want to upgrade iTunes.

  • My 2 month old nano only works while charging, i've tried resetting it and still the same.

    my 2 month old nano only works while charging, i've tried resetting it and still the same.

    You are still under warranty.  Either call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • HT202183 My power button on 6th gen nano stopped working.

    hello everybody.
    the power button on my 6th gen nano stopped working. everything else is ok but won't switch on unless plugged in to power. then its fine.
    I think the power button is broken/stuck.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    If so how did you fix it/ how much did it cost to fix?

    Take the iPod Nano into an Apple Store.  After the folks there examine it, they will quote you an estimate.  Or you can call them and ask.

  • Nano not working with FM transmitter

    I cannot get my Nano to work with an Itrip or with an in car transmitter/holder/charger. But my friends Ipod works fine with both. Is there a setting that i need to change?

    First are you sure the products you mentioned are compatible with the Nano? The nano is not compatible with any of the previews Itrips because it's lack of a remote port. Is the Itrip you are using connecting to the dock connector? If you are connecting with the dock connector than perhaps you need to reboot your Nano (won't remove anything from Nano) bu holding the select and menu button for several seconds.
