Something weird is going on iPod 7th gen

Okay, so i have an iPod nano 7th generation, and i think it's infected with some kind of virus, i've had this iPod for 2 months and everything was working well both iTunes and the iPod, yesterday something weird happened with my PC, when i turn it on it just goes to Startup Repair everytime, i download a lot of programs on that PC (Windows 7), so i thought it may be an infected downloaded program. I took my other PC (Windows Vista) and downloaded some songs, i connected the iPod and synced with iTunes, suddenly, the PC turned off, i turned it back on and it was happening the exact same thing that happened with the other PC.
I don't know whats going on...

You may have a bad cable. You do not have a virus.

  • TS1591 iPod 7th gen not showing up in iTunes (Macbook Pro) on first try

    hi guys. i have an ipod 7th gen and just recently bought a macbook pro. what i noticed right away was that whenever i try to plug in and update my ipod, the icon shows up on the desktop but the iPod itself does not show up in iTunes. i have to unplug then re-plug in my iPod and that usually does the trick. a trick which is annoying to do because im sure most people with iPods dont have this problem. help please

    Hey there Miles,
    It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
    First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
    If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:

  • My new  iPod 7th gen is syncing but no sound

    I have just received my iPod 7th gen. It is fully charged and set up.  I have synced my music files to it. When i play a song no sound comes through but on the iPod it shows as playing.  Is this a fault with the ipod?  The earphones work fine as i have tested them on my ipad. I have also restored the ipod to factory settings and resynced but am still having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated

    Hello Bina092,

    No sound through internal speaker*
    Verify that the iPod touch is not set to pause.
    Verify that the volume is set appropriately.
    Verify that headphones are not attached to the headphone port.
    Verify that Bluetooth stereo headphones are not paired wirelessly.
    Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.

  • Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673

    Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
    I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
    It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
    I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
    Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing?

  • Hi. I have an ipod 7th Gen. Whenever i rate a song from ipod, when i connect my ipod to my pc i see that  another different song is rated on itunes. Can you help me with it? or what causes this problem?

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • My iPod 7th gen has no sound

    My new iPod nano 7th gen will not give out any sounds,

    Hi guys,
    I have just received my second iPod nano from Amazon.  I had to return the first one as I had no sound coming out and the Apple Support guy - after resetting and restoring the original factory settings, said that it was probably defect and that I should send it back - which I did.
    Just received the replacement and surprise, surprise, there is no sound coming out of this one either!!
    I've reset this one with the Power and Home buttons, made sure that the Volume Limiter in the Settings is set to OFF, and turned the volume up to the max, but still no sound.
    If I have to send this one back, it's the last device I buy from Apple.  There is of course the possibility that I am completely stupid and I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, in which case shine a light guys, shine a light!
    Other than that I have been all over the Internet before I landed here and there really does seem to be a problem with iPod nanos.
    Yours, in deep frustration,
    Lyra

  • Ipod 7th Gen battery icon

    Why do Apple have micorscopic sub-icons (lightning bolt and plug) on the battery charge indicator of 7th Gen IPod Nano? I cannot see them without a magnifying glass!! Whay don't they have the moving fillup indicator that most things have?

    That's not normal or expected. I've gone 2 weeks and probably 20 hours of play time without giving the battery in mine a second thought, and it still shows 25-33% charge. In November, I drove 8 hours from Ohio to Maryland, and it made it the whole way using Bluetooth to play audio through my car stereo. It was pretty well drained by the trip, though. I doubt it would have made it 10 hours with BT. I've never watched video on it, so I have no idea what to expect if it has to power the screen constantly.
    I'd charge it overnight, and then start a timer while starting it playing music. When it was almost dead, and with the timer still running, I'd walk it into my local Apple store. (I hope you have one.) Bonus points if you document the experiment on video.

  • When will apple allow apps on ipod 7th gen?

    I wish apple put games compatability on the next ipod nano 7th gen update. i loved the games on the 4th gen and miss them.

    Who knows what the future will bring for Apple products... No one posting here knows such info, and the rest of us are not supposed to speculate about future Apple products in Apple's forum.
    You can, however, provide feedback to Apple here

  • Why doesn't my ipod 7th gen connect to bluetooth in my new car

    I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT.  I was told that I could play my Ipod nano 7th Gen via Bluetooth.  the car picked up my IPod and the IPod detected the car.  Seemed pretty simple.  But when I tap connect on my Ipod, I get an error on the car display "connection failed".  I tried deleting the Ipod and starting over, but still won't connect.
    The folks at the Hyundai are blaming it on Apple saying they are restricting the connection due to the last software upgrade.  No one seems to be able to give a concrete answer.  If someone spends over $25,000 on a new car they should be able to connect a simple Ipod nano.
    I hope someone from Apple reads this and provides a solution so I can enjoy my tunes in my new car.

    Nobody from Apple will read this.
    Go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
    Or call AppleCare.
    There hasn't been a firmware upgrade on the Nano for over a year, which software upgrade is your Hyundai dealer referring to? Also, have you connected the car to any other device?

  • My iPod 7th gen's volume and progress bar only goes halfway.

    For about a day or so now, my ipod's (7th generation nano) been stuck. I can only move the volume or progress up to the halfway point.
    It didn't fix after restoring or rebooting; I've tried changing the settings back to default and that hasn't helped either. The volume hardware button still works and I can increase/decrease the volume that way. I don't have the volume lock on. How do I get this to work again.

    Did my tip help anybody out? I sure hope so! But in the meantime, although I can see a list of musicians/apps, etc., HOW do I get this stuff to show up like these music albums show in this page down near the bottom? http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-on/
    I go to VIEW and SHOW COLUMN BROWSER, but I can't figure out how to make the artists/album covers/apps, whatever, show up with pics, NOT JUST with the words??

  • Something weird is going on here..

    I was surfing VLC's webpage with Safari and watching a movie when my mousepointer suddenly stoped. Then it started moving again, and now everything is acting weird.
    The mousepointer works fine, but magnification in the dock doesn't work. Apps start, but they seem to lag for a few seconds before loading. Menu-items don't highlight when I move the mouse over them, and it doesn't change when hovering over links before I've clicked them, then it stays the link-pointer untill I do something else. Everything feels a bit slower than before, but not like something froze, more like someone put syrup in the system.
    CPU-load is low, and so is memory- and disk-usage.

    Hmm, a bit more testing and the system isn't slower, it's just the mouse-pointer thing that makes it seem like it's slower. I can see the pointer moving as normal, but it's almost like the system doesn't register where it is before after I've clicked.
    Testing some more and that is definately what's going on.

  • IPod 7th Gen: Errors in play counts and ratings

    My 7th generation iPod seems to mark songs and podcasts as being played when I haven't played them. It also rates them without me doing so. Is this a problem with the iPod or the iTunes database. Any methods (restore/reset) that can be used to correct this?

    Ok, I found out that when I added another new CD it seems to stop saving all information once I try to rate the new files, or something like that. For example, I started changing the 'Sort Artist' category for the songs and afterwards started to rate them. This was before I clicked 'Get Album Artwork' as well so then when I closed out and opened iTunes again it had the 'Sort Artist' info right but in the wrong spot and the artwork wasn't there. One song was missing too. Is this a corrupted Library file then? It won't save any changes for any of the other songs either. It always reverts back to the old info. I'm really not sure what to do.

  • Brand new ipod 7th gen wont syn or turn on, please help!

    Just tried to syn my brand new ipod nano 7th generation but have encountered problems that I'm certain should not be happened as this has never happened to me before now.
    Firstly, it said that I had to update itunes, which I did.
    Then, registered my ipod but it wouldnt sync and everytime I tried plugging it in an icon flashed up that said it was corrupted. This was followed by another window telling me to update my ipod. Clicked on it and a strange white screen came up on the ipod screen that said ok to disconnect with a tick (but not how it usually looks) I have tried resetting it several times by holding down the "sleep" button and then the screen just went black - not the apple logo to say that it was resetting or anything.
    Now it wont turn on or register when I plug it into itunes...
    Anyone got any suggestions or solutions? Thanks

    Whats ur warrenty on it?
    Just go return it for a new one if its brand new and they will give u a new one. Thats the easiest solution as far as Im concerned

  • Ipod 7th gen not found in Itunes

    I bought a new nano and it will not show up in itunes. I have updated Itunes fully and my computer still reads the ipod under "unspecified" devices. I restarted the computer and ipod and i have looked in the device description and details and have found no useful info. Please Help

    Hi, there!
    Try resetting the nano (not a restore, it will keep your data intact):
    1: Press and hold the Lock and Home button at the same time until the screen goes dark (it will not go through a shutdown process, the screen will go pitch black).
    2: Wait 15-20 seconds and turn the Nano on again.
    If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. The built-in update doesn't always work right, so I've found.
