New Nano continually restarts when connected to XP

I bought my g/f a new 8gb nano for her birthday. It connects to my vista comp with no problems, and my 30gb ipod video connects to her XP comp with no problems, but when i connect her nano to her XP comp, it cycles through saying "connected" and "ok to disconnect". When saying "ok to disconnect" the bar never seems to fill completely before saying "connected" again. The comp says "there was a problem installing this hardware" and in My Computer, a removable disk appears and disappears continually. Nano has the latest software installed.
Can anyone please advise on how to fix this?

That's a switch: most people have trouble with Vista and not XP. It's possible she formatted the iPod on the Vista machine in some way that's NOT compatible with the XP machine. If you REALLY want it to work on the XP machine, start over and try formatting/restoring on THAT machine. Good luck.

  • Iphone not charging and continuously restarting when connected

    Last night I let my iphone 4 run down to 2% charge. I plugged it into the charger (china one) and it would come up with the electricity symbol, but not be charging. I then connected it to my genuine apple charger and the same thing happened. It then continuously restarted, i.e. apple screen for a few seconds, then my pincode screen for a split second, then the thinking and restarting symbol (round in a circle) before going black for a few seconds then back to the apple screen. I couldn't get it out of this loop, so I connected it to my itunes. The same reboot happened once, then it came up with an error message
    "itunes could not connect to this iphone beause an unknown error occurred (OxE8000065)"
    The next morning I unplugged and replugged the phone into the mac and a different message popped up
    "The iphone cannot be synced. An internal device error occured."
    It did the restart  again and I tried a reset (home and lock button) but it just went through the restart back to a black screen again.
    I tried it in a different USB port and possibly coincidentally, it now says on itunes
    "the phone "xx iphone" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
    Now if I press the home button, the battery image comes up with minimal red bar. It does not go through the restart loop.
    My thoughts - have I dropped it one too many times (as I had the day before) and the battery has come loose (won't charge)? If so I will pull it apart and have a look as it's 10 days out of warranty.
    Should I try a DFU or Recovery mode whilst plugged into the mac? I have a back up on icloud but still chance to lose lots of data.
    What do I try first or are there any other suggestions? And thank you for reading this long winded issue!

    I ended up going to the Apple Store and they said it's a common problem. As my phone was out of warranty I had to pay for a refurbished one, but it still works 1 year later. Better than forking out $600 for a brand new one.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

  • TS1425 iPod nano - loses functionality when connected to car radio

    For the past week, when I connect my iPod nano (4th generation) to a car radio (and I've tried it in several) it brings up a splash screen of the radio manufacturer which stays on the iPod screen and prevents any further access to the iPod functionality. This only happens when connected to a car radio, otherwise the iPod functions normally. So in effect, the iPod is unusable when connected to the car radio, which is where I do most of my listening. Anyone know how to help eliminate this problem?

    It sounds like a battery issue to me. When you connect it to the PC it draws power from the computer and thus it is able to function. Apparently it doesn't have enough of its own juice anymore. You probably just need a new battery.

  • Ipod nano freezes pc when connected

    Hi,
    I bought a brand new I pod 2 weeks ago, loaded the current itunes version and after a few hick ups itunes loaded the music on my ipod. Now a few days later my computer totally freezes as soon as I connect the ipod to the pc. I tried everything, setting back the ipod, deinstall and reinstall itunes, even an older version of itunes, tried all available usb ports (all 2.0 versions)...nothing. I also blocked the firewall and the antivirus guard...nothing.
    still full stop when connected. itunes recognizes my ipod on the screen but then it stopps. I have to restart the pc to keep on working with it. I also tried other pc's. An apple one worked fine with my ipod, another pc recognized it on the F drive and did not freeze it so I don't think the little beauty itself is the problem.
    Any idea to help my restless soul... ;-)???
    PC   Windows XP  

    OK, here I am back again.
    My ipod was restored by my friend who used an apple computer with the latest version of itunes 7.....
    So I started from scratch, installed an earlier version of itunes (6.0.2 or so), put my music on, connected my ipod (no freezing yet) but it immediatelly asked me to use this ipod with the new version 7.0.2. I then upgraded the existing to 7.0.2 and then...as soon as I connected my ipod it recognized it, told me that it is originally communicating with another bibliothek and asked if I wanted to synchronize or only load the bought items etc...and...
    did not load any songs on the ipod and....
    Freeeeeeeeezzzzzzeeeee !!!! I could not move any mouse or curser on my pc anymore. What do you mean, should I throw away my computer...it looks like is definetly not the ipod.

  • My new nano will not stay connected to my computer.

    I recieved a 6 gen nano from the 1 gen replacement program.  I completely removed all apple software from my system, and downloaded the newest versions to replace them before plugging in the new nano.  When I plugged in the new nano, the computer recognized it for a few seconds, saw it was an ipod and started the registration process, but then started disconnecting and connecting the nano every few seconds.  Now itunes does not recognize the nano at all.  I ruled out the usb ports and the cable as the problem, so it has to be the nano with the issues.  Please help, at least my old 1 gen still worked!  Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

    I have the EXACT same problem.  I believe also it is the NANO. 

  • IPod Nano 4th Restarts when I click the Klondike Game

    It happens for many times, on music playing when I click Klondike game, the iPod restarts automatically, and the main menu items kind of restore to defaults. I don't remember if clicking other 2 games causes this too, but it did happen again on Klondike yesterday. Both my iMac and iPod Nano have most updated software.

    My new nano chromatic gets stuck if I go to Klondike. I can play the game, but I can't get out of it without restarting the ipod. What's up?

  • IPod nano plays only when connected to PC

    My nano is a 3rd, I think. I bought it from Apple's iPod website 2 years ago. I was using the iPod on a Harley-Davison plugged into the iPod connection of a Jenson Marine radio. I had it in a little rubbery protecting case. This pas week I had to ride in the rain. While the iPod was protected from the rain moisture built up inside the case. Now it will play only when connect to the PC.
    When it is connected to the PC everything works normal. ITunes does not need to be running, only it needs to be connected via the USB. I plug the speakers directly into the iPod and it work normally. But, when I un plug it, it dies. Not only does it quit playing but none of the keys are active. It is just DEAD. The display remains as it was but not moving. Of course I have reloaded factory defaults and started all over. But it is dead if not connected via USB 04/01/09
    port.
    Hopefully someone can help. It was a $300 unit. I sure don't want to have to buy another.
    thanks,
    wayne

  • Random restarts when connected to comp.

    So this has been happening for a few months now.
    I plug my iTouch 16gb (1st gen) into my Mac Mini. So I'll get the black screen with the battery indicator... then about half the time, the screen will shut off after three seconds of the battery display screen and restart. After it's done restarting, my battery level drops 1/3-1/2 of what it was before the restart (regardless of battery levels before hand). After these sudden restarts, a regular syncing (no new music or anything, just a sync/update of calendars, bookmarks, contacts, etc.) the iTouch will take around five minutes(!)
    Now the iTouch will also randomly restart when I connect to my iBook. But it has never happened when I plug the iTouch into the USB power adapter (current model). I've tried using different USB cords, doesn't make a difference. I've connected other people's iTouches to computers, never replicated a restart. I've restored, restarted, etc. my iTouch who knows how many times, still get the restarts.
    So I don't know, something wrong with my iTouch hardware wise?
    Thanks!

    This doesn't really help you but mine occasionally restarts when I plug it in to iTunes and so far I've not experienced any problems with my iPod or what's on it when it happens. Just thought you'd like to know you're not alone

  • I'm suddenly getting the kernel panic message and constant restarts when connected to the time machine wireless network. if is switch to the BT network, all fine. no help found so far as to what's wrong or how to correct, anyone have any thoughts...

    Recently upgraded to mountain lion in order to buy the new tall tower for time machine backups. had to get technical support to help with set up as it wouldn't play ball with two computers. all working fine up until last week when the iMac started getting backup error messages. then system restarts independently when using time machine on the time machine wireless network. only stops restarting when I switch the wireless network back to he bt one, which is a pain obviously as can't back up to time machine then.  it has to be a problem with airport utility or something wireless but all says all up to date with software etc. all still works fine backing up from laptop on the wireless network, just the iMac is not happy. any help or thoughts very much appreciated.

    Hi, many thanks Bob, what you say is not unthinkable at all, although it does answer the question
    "what could I do *instead* of ..." rather than the one I actually asked, but seriously ...
    Shutting down might be an answer, although it would clear out my tmp directory - which I might not want to have to sort through looking for things I want to save every time I go to work, and also, now that nvram doesn't seem to work for disabling the boot chime, it can get a bit embarassing booting up in a busy meeting if I have forgotten to mute before I shut down. There are all sorts of other issues, such as editing documents, loading web pages and so on that I would have to set up again.
    Your suggestion of letting Apple know is a good one - thank you for the link.
    Take care,
    Mark

  • Does the ipod nano charge quickly when connected to a mac?

    hi everyone.
    I recently switched from windows to a macbook. i noticed that my ipod nano(second generation) charges quickly when connected to the mac as compared to when i connected it to my pc? is this possible or is there something wrong with my ipod? it is 11 months since i got my nano. kindly help.
    this is my first post
    Thanks in advance

    I assume you're talking about using the Apple cable with either component or composite cables. On a non-HD TV, the quality is quite good. I'm not sure what you mean about picture size. It doesn't letter box anything, if that's what you mean. Used to do it a lot when I went away for the weekend. It was an easy way to take iTunes rental movies with me and watch them on a big screen. I've never tried with my HD TV because i haven an Apple TV and there's no need.
    Best of luck.

  • 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.
