I need help with charging my ipod nano!!!!

Ok when I go to charge my ipod nano it says it's already charged but when I take it off the charger and try to listen to music it say battery has no energy battery drained. So if someone can please try to help me get it to work.

I disagree. Don't assume that it needs to be replaced without first testing it.

Hello Andrew,
Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

Need help with transferring from ipod mini to nano!

I own an iPod mini and just went and bought an iPod nano and am wondering how to transfer the music from my mini onto my nano. This may seem like a dumb question but I'm not finding a way in iTunes to do it. Thanks for help in advance

IPods are designed to transfer music in a one way fashion. Meaning, iPods can only have music transferred to them via iTunes, not vice versa. So, in your case, where the iPod mini has your music on its memory, you will be unable to transfer the actual music back to the computer. Hopefully, you have the music from the iPod mini stored on your computer or on some flash drive to be able to import the same music to the iPod nano. I am assuming that this is the case, your music being on iTunes, else other implications would have occurred in updating the iPod mini. Put simply, you need to have your music solely on iTunes and transfer from there to the iPod nano. Hopefully this helps.

Yikes! I need HELP RE: connecting my iPod Nano!

I just bought a 4G iPod Nano TODAY. I'm kind of "electronically challenged." So I plugged my Nano into my computer, using the very brief instructions that were provided with my Nano. My songs loaded fine, but when I removed the Nano from my computer, I could not get the USB cord out of my Nano. Of course, like a *******, I pulled and pulled and pulled, until the wires started coming out of the connection. Then I really started freaking out! Got out my pliers, and finally was able to remove the connector. However, in doing so, I have now done something so that a new connector won't go in. I realized AFTER I had done all of this that I needed to press on the two sides of the connection in order to get it out of the Nano. Does anyone know if Apple will fix this? I am going to cry if this can't be fixed. Please let me know ASAP. I don't think I can sleep until I find out. Thanks for your help.

this falls into the category of abuse, so no, i don't believe apple will fix it. i would try buying a new cord first, see if that helps. unless it is the nano's connector that is messed up, then you are SOL.

Help with Syncing new iPod Nano 7th Gen

I just bought a new IPod Nano 7th Generation. I set it up on iTunes and was able to sync music to it but was unable to sync photos from iPhoto or Photos (the new beta photo app with Yosemite). When I chose Sync All Photos the only choice was the Pictures folder or other folder, thus only one picture synced. I suspect this has to do with the beta Photos app but not sure. Also my new iPod does not show up in the iTunes list of approved devices. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

You have to shake the Nano again to get it to Shuffle to another song. If you want to shuffle the songs in your playlist, start a song from that playlist and then enable the Shuffle option from the additonal controls that you bring up on the Now Playing screen.

Help with 6th Gen iPod Nano please

Hello, I have a 6th gen ipod nano currently for about 1 and a half years, which has been working fine as of late, but today it lost all battery completely (I had used it for the first time yesterday paired up with the Nike+ attachment). Not knowing the battery had depleted I tried turning it on, but didn't work, decided to charge it just in case it was that. After waiting for a while I tried turning it on once more, connected it with my laptop & iTunes only to see the warning that it had to be restored since it had apparently gone corrupt. Even though it seemed weird, I did accept and let iTunes do it's stuff in order to restore it. About 30 minutes later it said that the server wasn't available for reach and couldn't finish the operation. Tried it a couple of more times only resulting in iTunes freezing over and unavailable to detach the nano from the laptop. I searched online for a manual reset and found the one in the support page (Lower volume + Turn on button for about 8 seconds then the lower + upper volume buttons) only to reach a flashing screen of the apple logo in my nano (lasted less then a second between flashes). iTunes couldn't detect my iPod up to this point. Tried it once more only to reach a white screen with black letters 'Do Not Disconnect' and nothing from the iTunes program (every once in a while it detects the nano but still can't update it because of the server issue). I'm pretty sure I've charged it up to full the iPod by now (both with laptop and directly from an outlet). The only thing I imagine left to do is for the battery to die on itself, which should take between 14 and 28 days, but before waiting that time for nothing, I'd rather see if anyone here has an idea on how to make this thing work again.
Thanks for the help.

Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

I NEED HELP DESPERATELY!!!!!!!!!
Dell Inspiron Windows 2000

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 7.0.2.16). To find the version of iTunes you have open iTunes, click Help, then About iTunes. If this does not work then follow the following instructions:
For iTunes Technical support please call 1-800-APL-CARE
or
Another problem might be that your service pack of Windows 2000 is not the latest version (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4).
I would recogmend getting Windows XP, many advantages over Windows 2000. Especially security and looks wise.

Need help moving music from iPod nano to new computer

I had a computer that had all of my music on it, it was a combination of music I purchased from iTunes, purchased from other places, and that had been transferred from my CDs. That computer died, and the music was lost. My CDs are in storage and I can't put my hands on them easily. All of that music was on my iPod Nano, but when I plug it in it only gives me the option to erase and sync, and I don't want to lose what's on my iPod but I would like to add new music that I've added to iTunes on my new computer to the iPod. Is this even possible?

it 's possible you just have to change your sync option from automatic to manual
the way to do this is the do the following
-open iTunes while ipod is connected
-if you get the message to erase and sync just click cancel
-on the left hand side of the iTunes window click on your device in the devices section
-in the ipod summary page go to the bottom of the page and choose "manually manage music"
-click apply and now any new music you want to sync you just drag the music from the library section and drop it onto the ipod in the devices section in iTunes
hope this helps:)
ps: this is only a temp fix but if you want something more then just a work around just post back
