New Ipod Nano 4G does not start

Hello,
I bought an Ipod Nano 4G last Monday. I connected it to my computer and it started up. It was also reconized by Itunes. So I let the Ipod load for at least 5 hours. When I disconnect it the ipod switched off. I tried to switch it on again but it was not possible. I made the 5 Steps (reset, repeat, restart, reinstall, recover) but nothing changed. Today I went back to the shop and they changed the ipod. But with the new one I have still the same problem.
Any tip to help me?
Thank you in advance
Thomas

My first Ipod was orange and the second one is blue.
I conntacted the Apple Hotline and they will exchange the Ipod again. The dealer has only pink Ipods left and I do not want to have a pink one. I allready found the above mentioned discussion. This discussion helped a lot. I allready believed that I am too stupid to handle a simple Ipod. But the discussion show me that it is not me and that there is a big problem at apple with the 4G Ipod Nano.
Regards
Thomas

  • New iPod nano 6G does not play any Podcast or Video

    I am having a problem with the newest iPod nano (6th G). After downloading some podcast from the internet and synchronise them via iTunes to the device it's not possible to watch the video. Audio file is ok, but Video won't start (I only see the first 'picture' of the video).
    Is it not possible to watch podcasts?
    Is it only possible to hear something?
    I reset(re-start) the device three times, but everytime it's the same.
    Are there any tipps?
    Thanks for help...

    It will play video podcasts, it will only play the audio portion and use the first frame of the video as the album art.
    Just remember, if it is a podcast, to get to it so you can play it, you have to press and hold the button on the top till it starts speaking playlists. Then when it speaks the podcast name, release the button. Then it will start playing the podcasts.

  • IPod touch music does not start songs from the beginning

    the songs on an ipod touch does not start from the beginning how do you fix this

    In your iTunes Library, check the songs to see if they are set to Remember playback position. If they are, turn that off and Sync the iPod with iTunes for these new changes to take effect.

  • New ipod nano 2nd gen. not loading onto windows or itunes

    I just got an ipod nano 2gb 2nd gen. (refurbished from apple). I updated my former version of itunes (my daughter has a 1st gen. nano, so she's been using itunes with her's with no problems..) to the latest version like the quick start guide says. Plugged in the ipod to the usb port on the back of the computer and the setup wizard pops up, asking to install the software for the device. I try letting it auto search, which it finds nothing, and I get a message saying "your new hardware may not work properly.....". I checked the device manager and the ipod is listed under "other devices" with a question mark by it. I checked to make sure my daughters 1st gen. nano works with the updated itunes and it does with no problems. Now what?
    Ipod Nano 2gb 2nd gen.   Windows XP  
    Dell Dimension 4600   Windows XP  

    I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.

  • IPod Nano directory does not show loaded tracks

    I have a 7th Gen iPod Nano that was formatted by iTunes for Windows 7 that does not show the tracks loaded on it once it is ejected. Apple has replaced the Nano twice with no change. Working with AppleCare Support I have removed iTunes and everything else from Apple several times in accordance with the "Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8" Knowledge Base article. We tried various cables and different USB ports but they made no difference. In between each removal I have run CCleaner's registry search and cleanup tool and restarted the computer. Windows 7 is and has been up to date and the version of iTunes has always been the latest. iTunes will recognize the Nano and I can load playlists on it but once I eject it and select the music icon it says that there is no music loaded. When I check to see if the iPod knows that there is anything loaded it shows that there is something loaded by virtue of the fact that it shows the same amount of free space as iTunes did just before it was ejected. I have spent a couple of weeks chasing this problem with the AppleCare Support Team in Cupertino and we are all stumped.
         I do not have any problems when I connect my iPod Classic to the same computer and load tracks on it.
         All of the Nano's that have experienced this problem have worked fine when restored on my Mac.
         The original Nano worked fine with this Windows 7 computer for about 9 months and then started saying that it needed to be restored every time it was connected even if it had just been restored. That problem brought about the first replacement of the Nano. After all of our efforts the AppleCare Support Team suggested that we replace the Nano again so that is what we did this week with no resolution of the problem.
         Does anyone know of any Windows software that is known to create problems with iTunes?
         I had not connected a Nano to the computer for about 2 months before I started having problems so I have no way of determining what might have been installed that caused this problem. This is a company computer and all software installations and updates are controlled by our IT Dept. iTunes is supported by the company due to the fact that our IT Dept. personnel and senior management have company iPhones and some iPads. We did connect the Nano to one of the IT computers and it was recognized and iTunes was able to see the tracks loaded but there was nothing available once it was ejected.
         Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

  • Brand new iMac 24 inch does not start

    I went to best buy and bought the 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac. We loved it when the apple guy gave us a demo. I brought the brand new iMac home and set it up. Pushed the power button - IMac does not power on. Tried diff options like changing plug socket, extension cord, removed and replaced power supply from back of iMac, but didnt work.
    After an hour, I took the thing back to Best buy and they replaced it with a new one. Now this new one started right away and we really love this computer. Browed until late night, put it on sleep before going to sleep. Woke up in the morning, checked email and did some more browsing before I put it back to sleep and went to take a shower. After I come back and try to turn it ON, it wont turn ON. No matter what I did except this time I did not remove the power supply from the back of the Mac.
    I called in for apple support as I was extremely concerned. The support guy asked me to hold the power button for 5 secs and try to power it back again. Nothing, didnt work. Next he asked me to remove all connections as well as the power supply from the back of the Mac and then turn it on. Lo and behold, came back up.
    I asked the support guy as to what the heck is the problem and if this type problem has been reported earlier - he said he cannot comment on that. I really like this computer, but I am concerned as to its reliability. Anyone had similar problems? What was the problem and what did you do?

    What the guy did was have you reset the SMC, the System Management Controller. It controls things like startups, shutdowns and sleeping.
    Is the iMac plugged directly into a three prong wall outlet or are you using an extension cord or a cheat adapter? If you are using an extension cord, then it needs to be a proper three pronged utility cord and not a simple cord with a cheat adapter.

  • Brand new ipod Touch (8GB) does not work with DHCP

    I have a brand new iPod Touch (8GB) that will not work using DHCP. No matter what I do (reset router, reset ipod) the DHCP still doesn't work. I can manually setup an IP/Gateway/netmask/etc. and it works but I really need the DHCP to work if at all possible. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I was able to use an old Linksys wireless router and the touch gets an IP, etc. with no problems but I can not get my Touch to work with the WRT54G. Any ideas?

    its possible to have a bad power supply that has too much AC ripple on the output which can make the screen do weird things

  • New iPod Nano gen7 will not sync

    Some backround info;
    My iMac 27" harddrive was recently replaced (11/2012) by Apple because they said it was defective (replacement was covered by AppleCare).
    I have recently purchased an iPod Nano gen7 and connected it to sync with my iTunes library.
    My iMac is running OS X 10.8.2 and my iTunes is running Ver. 10.0.2. The iPod Nano gen7 is running Ver. 1.0.2.
    My iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both installed prior to my harddrive repalcement are syncing all of my tunes from my old hard drive and tunes added after the harddrive was replace. My complete iTunes library runs from 2007 to present day and is stored in the iCloud.
    Listed on my iTunes account, iTunes in the Cloud under Manage Devices are 1) My iMac, 2) My iPhone, and 3) My iPad, Missing is my iPod Nano.
    On my Itunes page listed undet "STORE" is a listing called PURCHASED that only shows tunes purchased since my harddrive was replaced.
    My problem is that my just purchased iPod Nano gen7 will only sync tunes installed since my harddrive was replace, non of my tunes from my old harddrive.
    How can I get iTunes to sync all of my iTunes library to my iPod Nano gen7.
    Any and all help will be appreciated.

    I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
    Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!

  • Brand new iPod Nano 4gb. Not responding after being charged for a while.

    Hi guys. I got a replacement for my Nano today. It is brand new. The guy at the Apple Centre said to fully charge it before use, then fully discharge it. I've had the iPod plugged in for a fair while now, and it doesn't seem to be getting charged.
    The problem could lie with the usb cord, it's not in the best condition, but I don't have access to another cord at the moment.
    Any suggestions?

    How did you do the reset?  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port on the Mac?  It could be a faulty lightning connector as some others have reported having.

  • Somehow my entire itunes library got deleted ... I have the old ipod nano, which does not connect with iCloud so it has all been saved there, BUT .. I cannot load all my music that I put on and I no longer have the cd's PLEASE HELP!!!!

    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?
