Do not reset your iPod if…
If your iPod is connected to a computer and displays any of the following messages, you should eject the iPod from within iTunes instead of resetting it:
Connected. Eject before disconnecting
Sync in Progress. Please wait…
Do not disconnect
Tip: Check out this helpful movie, too. ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320?viewlocale=en_US )
Try the below steps :
If you can see your iPod in windows explorer on your My Computer the Right click on your iPod and Format it in Fat32 Format once it is formatted completely remove it from your computer and then reconnect it and open iTunes on your computer and Restore it using iTunes and if your iPod is not appearing in iTunes then Put your iPod in disk mode by referring the Above steps and then try to Restore your iPod to Factory settings.

My iPod Nano 6th Generation is not picking up album artwork. On several of my tracks, it recognizes the album art, but it doesn't seem to recognize the others. I've tried uploading the artwork onto several albums manually, I've cleared the downloaded artwork to download them again, I've even restored the iPod to its default settings...nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to thisTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello I just found a problem with my Ipod nano 6th generation. It worked fine an hour ago but then the screen turned a dark grey. Did the restore through Itunes and then it went white. But now it's totally unresponsive and seems to be off even when it is plugged into itunes. Can't even restore it. I get Error 1415?
Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:

I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????
You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

You might have better luck posting in the iPod Nano forum. You posted in the iPod Touch forum. For an iPod Touch one would start here:

My ipod nano 6th generation is not working anymore :( HELP
I have an ipod nano 6th generation. Was working perfectly. One day I wake up and is showing me a screen I have never seen before..It reads:N20 Snowfox 4A0432
When I plug it, itunes doesnt recognize it. It recognized it once but it says problem 1621 and I follow the instructions but still my ipod is frozen and not even my computer can read it.
I really miss my music for my morning run!Have a look at comment # 4 and 5 on this page iPod nano 6G diagnostic mode to get it out of this mode again.
Pressing the volume minus button and power button should help. -
