New Nano (8GB) freezes when trying to play music. Nike+ IPod at fault?

This is the second nano I've received, the original did the same thing. The nano works fine when I first play it, but after I upgrade to the latest ipod firmware and try using my Nike ipod thingie, I have problems with it freezing up. I take it to work (where I'm outside & don't have a computer) (no Nike connector) & try selecting something, but as soon as I try playing Music or a Podcast playlist, it freezes with the Play arrow button & "Now Playing" in the top menu & the light on. No button combination or toggling the switch will unfreeze it. I have to wait until after the battery has worn out & I get home to connect it to my computer to get it back to normal.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Cube, iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add music onto iPod touch

          Newest iPod touch gen, newest iTunes updates. I plug in my iPod touch and go into iTunes, when i try to upload music to the ipod, it freezes up. I cant put any music on it. I tried re-installing itunes and i doesn't make a difference. My sister's ipod is doing the same thing, too.

  • Error or freeze when trying to add music to ipod.

    I have had my ipod for over 2 years and havent had Too much trouble with it. But, right now i can't add songs to my ipod. It started out a few days ago when i hooked my ipod up to the comp through my usb and it said it can't read the ipod and i must restore it to factory settings. So i did that and it would only add about 100 of my songs to my ipod. i keep trying but it wont add more that a few songs. sometimes i get an error that says "cant read ipod"
    please help.

    Some have been able to resolve it by removing podcasts and/or rebuilding their iTunes library.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • Getting message "file cannot be found" when trying to play music in iTunes

    When trying to play ANY music in my iTunes Library I get the message that the file containing the music cannot be found. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes - is this the problem or is it something else?? I thought that at least the songs purchased from the iTunes Store would play but they do not. I receive the same message which asks if I want to attempt to locate the file. I click yes and that takes me to the iTunes Library which gets me nowhere. Anyone have any ideas????? I have used iTunes for years with no problems before this.

    Hi Patricia,
    First, try Repairing Disk Permissions. Quit all open applications. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Only takes a few minutes to run, then Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your PBook and launch iTunes. See if you can play a track...
    If not... with iTunes open, select iTunes Store, then from the Menu Bar, click Store/Authorize Computer and see if that works. If that doesn't work ...
    Quit iTunes. Try dragging the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the HD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes and see if you can play tracks. If you can, drag that file back to the Preferences folder. If not, drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It could be your iTunes preferences file is corrupted and needs replacing. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.
    Hope something helps...

  • ITunes 9 freezes when trying to play movie

    G'Day Experts !
    Was wondering if anyone can tell me why iTunes 9.03.15 (the latest software) freezes up on WinXP SP3
    Have looked through the knowledge base, have done the reinstalls, created a new Apple account, disabled antivirus... nada.
    This is on a new hard disc and a new system that has not run iTunes before. Have never seen this problem.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    Itunes 9.03.15
    itunes freezes when I play a movie/tvshow. I have to "end task" then re-start Itunes. The movie doesn't play at all. This happened after I downloaded two movies for rental and tried to move them to an older model Ipod video 30GB. The move didn't work so I tried to synch the ipod with no success. Gave up trying to move the movie and tried to watch it on my computer screen and it does not play. This is irrating because now my movie is going to expire in a few hours and I haven't been able to watch it.

  • Ipod 5gen freezes when trying to play video

    My son has a 5th gen 60gb ipod that freezes as soon as he tries to play video on it. This started happening after he installed the latest firmware upgrade. We have deleted the videos, tried reinstalling the latest firmware, reinstalled any number of converted videos, and every time we try it, it freezes up solid. We end up having to use the standard "menu-center button" restart procedure to unfreeze it. Any ideas how to get it to play videos with out completely wiping his ipod clean and starting over with everything?

    My problem is similar. My 80G freezes playing video that I converted. These videos used to play just fine. This all started after an upgrade in Dec 07 I think. I have an iphone and the videos play fine and we kjust purchased a 160G and all the videos play perfectly. A huge bummer with the 160G though is that most of the accessories we purchased for the 5th gen don't work with the new classics (ie: Phillips portable DVD/ipod player) - Why did Apple do that?

  • ITunes crashes when trying to play music

    When I try to play music, either by double clicking on a song, or by clicking on it, and then play, it crashes iTunes. I was able to listen to it yesterday, but today I have not.
    Although I cant play music, I can still go into Music Store and listen to the 30 sec clips.
    I have tried
    -Reinstalling iTunes
    -Restarting my Computer
    -Deleting playlists, songs, etc (By Deleting the stuff in My Music\iTunes)
    -Deleting temporary files
    -Looking across the internet for possible reasons for my error
    After crashing, I get this information:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.4.2 ModName: itunes.exe
    ModVer: 6.0.4.2 Offset: 000ce0fa
    Thank You for trying to help me, this has been annoying me for quite some time.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to say that i've also trashed my old iTunes and re-installed, and trashed the prefs.

  • Slow response when trying to play music on iPad 2

    When I try and play music on my iPad 2 the response is now really, really slow..I have recently downloaded ios7 so not sure if that is the problem...has anyone else had this happen and if so what did you do to resolve the issue?

    Hi angela dfromtx,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
