Please help! My ipod nano 1GB is doing wierd things!!!

I just got it less than a week ago so I am really new at this. My ipod was fine all day until this afternoon when I was listening to a song, then I noticed that it had stopped playing music so I looked at the screen and it showed the ipod skipping songs on its own. My ipod has a full battery and isn't on suffle. Every time I go to my list of songs and select a song the ipod starts going through the songs and will not stop until I press pause. If I press play again it then goes back to skipping songs until it has finished the list, then it goes back to the main menu. Please help me! I don't know what my ipod nano is doing!!!

  • Please Help! Ipod nano wont turn on.

    Ok, well, my battery was low so I decided to charge it like, three days ago. Ok? Now, I charged it from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am. I woke up at 6:00 am to unplug it and have a great day. Then, the screen was just plain old black. I checked to see if it was on hold, it wasnt. I tried turning it on, it didnt turn on. I tried reseting it, it wouldnt reset. I followed the steps given for support, it didnt work. I deleted my cookies, it didnt work. Now, it wont turn on and I cant listen to my music! I'm so ****** at apple!!!!! What should I do?

    Did you use iTunes to load the music? If you didn't, you need to.

  • Please! Please help with iPod Nano...

    Hi. I bought my husband a 2GB iPod Nano in April, and last week, he went to install the new updates on it and it literally crashed the entire iPod. He lost all of his songs, all of his photos and now iTunes won't recognize it.
    I have went through all of the Apple support documents trying to find a reason why this would happen and I can't seem to find the answer i'm looking for. I've reinstalled iTunes numerous times, i've uninstalled everything for the iPod off of my computer and tried reinstalling the disc for the iPod to start from scratch, i've tried installing the programs on my mother-in-laws computer, (an iPod has never seen her computer before, ever!), and that didn't seem to help either.
    The problem that we seem to be running into is that we are trying to load up the Updater and it starts to hang. It keeps telling us that it is initiallizing, and it doesn't seem to get past that. Every once and awhile we will get an error saying that the iPod is 'not connected to the computer' or that the iPod is 'being used by another program, close out of all programs being used by the iPod and try again'. What is going on with it?
    I was hoping that if I restored the iPod to the factory settings that I would eventually be able to add the new updates onto it again.
    I was thinking that it installed the wrong updates onto it because I update my 30GB iPod Photo on the same computer, but I was reading that the Updater recognizes what iPod is connected to the computer and updates the correct software onto it.
    Does anybody know how I can fix this? The support forum is my last resort. I talked to Apple and this is where they sent me, even though he still has warrenty on it.
    Many, many thank you's to whomever can help!

    hmmmm. it sounds like some other application is checking on the ipod (possibly security software), and that is interfering with the update/restore attempts.
    try using the techniques from the following document to switch off every background application prior to plugging the ipod into the updater:
    Close Applications Running in the Background
    do things go a bit more smoothly then?

  • Please help! ipod nano wont work at all!

    Please Help! my ipod nano has decided to stop working altogether - will not switch on or connect to computer. have tried to reset it several times but it wont work!
    any ideas much appreciated - it worked an hour ago and i only got it this morning!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Congrats, for your nano! Not for its problems, I mean!
    About your iPod's problem:
    First, make sure the "hold" switch isn't on. The hold switch is located on the top of your iPod. If it's orange, then that means it's on. If it's grey, it's not on. Switch it off (grey) if it was on (orange).
    If that wasn't the problem, let's make sure your iPod is even charged enough. Hook your iPod into the computer using the USB cord to the computer (that also charges the iPod), leave it there for 10 minutes, and see if it comes alive.
    Presuming that your iPod won't charge or wake up to your computer charger, if you have a wall charger for your iPod (that's different than the cord for the computer charger), hook it up, leave it there for 10 minutes, and see what happens.
    Thes suggestions should work for your iPod. It's most likely something pretty simple.
    Post back if this helped or not, I hope it did. Good day!

  • Please help : new ipod nano : songs loaded but don't play=(

    I have managed to load songs onto the ipod.
    It did play a couple of times but since then when you go to play any song the screen comes up with an apple symbol. Please help. I hope this isn't a dumb question.

    See if these help.
    iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

  • Please HELP! iPod Nano won't play songs

    I just got my iPod nano yesterday and absolutely loved it. I took some of my friendssongs from his PC. Then I tryed using ipod agent to put them into itunes. It said that there was an error. Now when I chose a song the song will come up, it won't play, but instead go to the next song and same thing happens. Now itunes won't even recongiz or pop up when it is plugged in

    The iPod is designed to sync to one computer as it copies the music to a special file for the iPod OS and software to play.
    You can enable "disk mode" and use that to transfer any file back and forth, but the iPod won't play music files stored in the "disk mode" portion you set in iTunes Preferences with the ipod plugged in.
    Basically the software you used to transfer the music out of the "special file" back into iTunes is not authorized, it's a "hack". So Apple routinely disables the hacks because of agreements to protect the music from piracy.
    Another thing is the music you got from your friend may indeed by ACC/"Fairplay" copy protected music bought from the iTunes Music Store, unless your computer is one of the five authorized, it won't play.
    Also because you hooked your iPod to your friends PC, the "ownership" might have changed and Apple may have employed something that your iPod is no longer recognized as yours.
    What you probably have to do is use the iPod software to "reset" your iPod, clear out everything in the process and just hook it to your computer.
    If you want to transfer uncopy protected, non-copy righted "free" music to your computer from another computer, enable the iPod's "disk mode" and set a size to balance between the music in your "special file" and the needs of what you intend to transfer.
    Once you get home, transfer the music files into your iTunes, then you can copy them to the "special file" so the iPod can play them.
    It's a bit complicated, but's it's designed to prevent mass theft of music (so the artists will provide their music online) and keep the benefit of syncing/playlists in line.

  • My Ipod nano 4th gen DOES NOT sound good.... why? HELP

    My new iPod nano 4 GB does not sound good. I have tried everything: reset it, record new differentd CD's, changed the earphones and nothing works. Music sounds with very bad quality. Is it configuration problem?, is it itunes problem?, is it a manufacturing problem?. What can I do?
    I appreciate you help

    It takes around 2 weeks to get a replacement, a bit less if it is not personalised. Apparently a lot of the ipods coming out of China have audio/visual problems at the moment. Guess they should work on their quality control process.

  • Apple Ipod nano 1GB - FM Radio?

    Does the Apple Ipod Nano 1GB have an FM radio or not? Thanks

    The nano itself doesn't have a built-in radio selector, remote, etc.; none of the iPods do.
    You can get a radio remote for your iPod for $50 at the Apple Store (this is compatible with nanos and video iPods). See this link for the display page for this product:
