Second 4th gen nano that has become completely unresponsive

This is my second 4th generation iPod nano. The first stopped working properly on the second day. It wouldn't hold a charge, it wouldn't turn on, and iTunes would not recognize it.
Now it's the same thing. I returned it and got another one. This one worked fine for 6 weeks, and now it does nothing. I tried the 5 R's on the troubleshooting page. Nothing shows up on the screen. Nothing happens when I plug it into the computer, iTunes won't recognize it. Maybe it's time for a recall on this product. What a piece of junk.

hello, maybe it's an issue with the the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

I have a L7780 that has become completely unresponsive to all of it's buttons.

Display still looks like it is ready to go, and the printer responds to things like opening the scan table, toner door opening, but all of these seem to be automatic and in reality nothing works. Interior scanning light is on. It is also completelly unresponsive over the network. Anyone ever heard of this problem? Help!

She had a 3rd generation Nano that worked fine on her USB port and all my PC's USB ports are 2.0 compatible. Help???

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used. Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music from my 4th Gen Nano back into iTuunes?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.

Company that replaces battery in 4th gen Nano?

Hi. I own a 4th gen Nano and the battery life has gotten bad. It lasts about 3 hours or so. I'm trying to find a company that will replace the battery, but my Google searches have only shown places that sell battery replacements that you have to install on your own. If anyone knows of a company that will replace the battery for me, please let me know.
Thanks!

Oop, just saw on the Apple website that they can do the battery replacement.

My 4th gen nano has locked up and the click wheel doesn't function, is it dead?

Hi my 4th gen nano stopped working, the screens ok with no error messages but the click wheel no longer functions other than reseting. I've set it back to default ok but still no good as it's stuck on the language page. Is it dead??
Pete.

Hi jim,
If you are having issues resetting your iPod Nano, you may find the following article helpful (it should be listed under iPods with click wheels):

Try manually entering/searching for your wifi access point under the "Other" option. Also, if you have lots of devices connected to your wifi, you may have reached your limit. (e.g. the airport express has a max of 10 while the basestation may have 50. Check your packiging on whatever router you have, may help.)

Can't import TV show from Itunes to 4th gen nano-running OSX 10.5 with Imac

This message has also been posted to the general use forum of the 4th gen nano forum.
Bought my daughter a 4th gen nano for Christmas. Also purchased a TV show from Itunes some time back.
This TV show has been in Itunes for months, and is on my 5th gen Ipod and plays fine, but will not import to the 4th gen nano.
Here is what I have done so far:
1.Plugged the nano into the computer, highlighted nano, clicked TV show tab, clicked the TV show we wanted to sync, then clicked the sync button.
2.I downloaded a sample movie into Itunes from the apple support site, and it won't import into the nano.
3.After researching, I downloaded and reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime both.
Nothing seems to be working.
Funny thing is, there was one music video that imported from Itunes to the nan when I first registered and set it up, and it plays fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

My 13 yr. old daughter solved this problem, and successfully imported the TV show to her Ipod.
She tells me she has no idea how she did it, she just did it.
So, although I guess my problem is solved, I'd still love to know what the answer is.

Weird Bugs with new 4th Gen Nano

I've been getting weird bugs only a week after I bought a 16GB Orange 4th Generation iPod Nano on ebay New of course. First off, while at school the other day, it shut off and the apple screen showed for about 30 seconds. Then none of my 600 songs would play. However, I reset the ipod by pressing the center button and menu and holding them down for a few seconds. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much.

I just bought a PURPLE 4th Gen Nano 8gig, and I have been having the same problem. If I skip to the next song more than 4 times, the Nano shuts off and reboots. I did have one particular song, when "played," that was causing it to shut down, so I removed it. I did not attempt to re-sync it. Now, if I skip to next track more than 4 times, it shuts down and reboots. This happens a few times a day. Depending on my mood, I may not want to listen to Rock tracks that day, so I skip them to get to my R&B tracks. Some days I want to listen to DANCE tracks. So, for clarity's sake, I do tend to skip songs a lot. But that should not be cause for constant reboots, from any MP3 player. It certainly was never a problem for my Sandisk Sansa e280, that I owned before switching to iPod.
Another item that bothers me is that my tracks are not all in alphabetical order. Or rather, I should say, they are listed alphabetically in multiple sections. Out of 1500+ songs, there are approx. 20 sections of A-Z. For example: If you scroll through the song list A-Z, you will not find Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy." But after Z, the list "continues" A-Z again!! But "Nature Boy" is not in that list either. The list continues on AGAIN, A-Z... and viola, there is "Nature Boy." In the THIRD section of A-Z of the song list. Anyone, have a clue as to WHY the entire library of music is not listed alphabetically? But rather parceled out in sections?? None of the tracks are repeated, each section of A-Z contains different tracks!! It makes finding a song you are wanting to hear, a real chore!! And is NOT indicative of a world class company, nor a world class product.
And before anyone reads off their teleprompter as to how "I should check to see that my computer is blah, blah, blah......" It IS up-to-date. Every driver, every piece of software, every security definition, every release, every add-on. I spent an entire weekend making absolutely POSITIVE that THAT issue was resolved. Vista SP1, Windows Defender, IE7, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, eve-ry-th-ing!! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm looking for a little thing called "real answers." Thanks.

Everytime I open Firefox it functions for a matter of seconds before freezing and becoming completely unresponsive, what can be done about this?

After freezing up today(which it has done from time to time before), Firefox has now become completely unresponsive. I have repeatedly attempted to restart it but the program will freeze up almost immeadiately every time, each time requiring a close via the task manager.
Nothing has changed since last night except for this unresponsivness. I just tried uninstalling my older version and downloading the current version but the problem has persisted. What else can I try?

I have the same problem on two Windows 7 x64 installations.
Firefox 4.0.1
Addons in common: Firebug
Firefox does not crash, it just becomes unresponsive, but the moment it becomes responsive again (couple seconds to 15 seconds or more,) it will just become unresponsive again. There is next to no CPU usage and there is nothing running in the background that could possible slow it down. I also notice that FF momentarily will stop responding for around 1/2 to 1 second. Then continue to be fine. I'm finding that Chrome is acting up as well but IE is working fine. I also found that Google.com seems to exacerbate the problem.

4th gen nano

the display is sideways when plugged into my docking station. Can the display be rotated?

My coworkers 4th Gen Nano arrived this morning and the first thing we did was compare the connectors to my 2nd and 3rd Gen Nanos. Unfortunately it looks like neither of the prior Lanyard headphones will work with the 4th Gen and so far there is no sign that Apple intends to resurrect the concept. I know that I won't be buying a 4th Gen until they do. To make matters worse I believe that Apple has a patent on the concept so no third party will be able to step up and fill in the gap.

What's wrong? Having problems with a 4th gen nano.

My 4th gen nano's clock is frozen and trying to change the time causes the screen to freeze. Resetting it brings it "back to normal", but the clock's still frozen. The lock hardly works, and the iPod starts playing music randomly. It is not recognized by iTunes or Finder; iTunes seems to eject it before recognizing it or saying it's plugged in. The following error message says that it should be ejected properly and that iTunes/Finder will try to restore it the next time it's connected.
None of the solutions in the Help Center fixed it and the screen's now frozen at "Connected."
Other than that, it's working perfectly fine...

Update: I just put it into Disk Mode, and then it finally showed up in both iTunes and Finder. When I then tried to restore it, error message 1429 popped up. (The iPod then disappeared from both iTunes and Finder.) Following Apple's resolution, I'm supposed to eject it from iTunes, but how am I supposed to do that when it's not showing? The screen says "Do not disconnect."

Does the 4th gen Nano have an adapter for docking stations? Need help!!!!

I have a philips dock and play docking station and whilst my 1st gen Nano is very happy playing on it the 4th Gen won't even go on properly. Am i not inserting it correctly or are they just not compatible? What i'd really like to know, is there an adapter for the 4th Gen so that i can attach it to the docking station as well?

Hiya...try this http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1695
It's a dock adaptor. Not sure if it works - but frankly, I am just as annoyed as everyone else about the change in connection. I have the original Bose sound dock and the 4th Generation Nano does not work in it.
