Stuck In Loop Right As iPod Nano Loads

Got a 4th gen iPod Nano from a friend, my new ipod nano had gotten some liquid damage and he wasnt using this one.  Hasnt been charged in years.  Its been sitting on my computer plugged in now for about 45 minutes, apple logo comes up, and loads right to the front menu like it should for MAYBE a second.  And then loops the process.  I have accessed the diognostics menu which has gotten me nowhere(people say to look for DISKMODE, this isnt here), and I seem to be unable to access disk boot options by holding down menu and the middle select.  Im a little stumped by this.  Any suggestions would be appreciated

Update: By plugging directly to the wall it bypasses the weird loop its doing.  But my PC was still not recognizing it.

  • Power button is stuck on my 6th generation ipod nano (two ipod same problem)

    I've got two I pod nano touch 6th generation, and both of them have the same problem: power button is stuck.
    both have 1 year and some months, so the warranty is over
    One of them  has 2 button stuck, the up volume and the power button.
    I've read many users had the same problem, Apple should do a recall, because too many ipods are affected by the button stuck problem!!!
    I feel really dissapointed by Apple...
    Any Help?
    Thanks

    This is a known and very common issue with the 6th generation, the buttons on the newly bought 6ht gen nanos last about a year and all refurbished ipods (the ones you get when you send your ipod in for repairs) last 6 months if you are lucky.  A refurbished ipod is basically someone elses ipod that had another problem.  You should not buy or send them in to be repaired, or buy this model new because it will break and you will be dissapointed.  My fourth 6th gen broke last night, the power button is stuck, like my last 3 ipod 6th gen nanos.

  • Ipod touch 8GB stuck in loop after resetting ipod during update

    I reset my ipod touch 4th generation while it was going through an update because it stoped during the update and would not continue and i couldnt get out of the update screen. after doing so the ipod goes to the start up screen and does either of three things. 1. turns on, goes to boot up screen with apple logo and then goes to a screen with colors varying in blue. 2. ipod stays in a continued reset where the apple logo appears as though its turning on and after about a minute or two then flashes starts again. or 3 starts up and stays on the boot up screen and stays there. i have tried connecting to my computer and to itunes with no avail. any help would be appreciated

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • My ipod nano 7th gen is stuck on a loop of turning on and off.

    My ipod nano 7th gen is stuck on a loop of turning on and off, I've already done the reset, and everything that was recommended on other similar questions.  it isn't recognized by iTunes except in recovery mode where it allows me to restore but then goes right back to turning on and off once i'm back to normal play mode.  Once on recovery mode it works fine and doesn't turn on and off.  I've also uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to avail.  I'm super frustrated and am hoping that I won't need to buy a new one.  Is there anything else I can do before i just toss it out?  i'm getting a bit frustrated just watching my ipod turn on to the apple and then turn right back off.

    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen is stuck in a restore loop.

    My iPod nano 3rd gen is stuck in a restore loop.  I have wiped it with Disc Utility and attempted to restore with iTunes, but there was no effect. I checked it in diagnostic mode against an identical pod and found no significant differences in the results, both checked out fine.  I know that this is not a windows driver issue since I use a mac.  In any case such an issue should have been resolved when I wiped the pod.  I have not attempted to load any music on it or sync my library, so a corrupted file seems unlikely as well. there is no water damage and the case is in excellent condition.  I have no idea whats wrong with it so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

  • My ipod nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop with a white screen. Now it won't turn on anymore. What to do?

    My new Ipod Nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop. Here is what happened: I added music to it using the latest version of iTunes, the colored bar at the bottom of the summary tab in iTunes showed my that I added it and I disconnected it to listen to the music. As I turned it on, it told me that there is neither music nor pictures on it. So I connected it again to my computer and iTunes told me that I had to restore. Which I did following all the steps but it keep telling me that I need to restore it. After three times of restore it, I disconnected it from my PC and turned it off. Now it won't turn on anymore - even though the battery is fully charged - and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes tell me "The iPod software updater could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes." Well, I just downloaded the newest version a couple of minutes ago from the apple website. My iPod stays black. What shall I do?

    Hi altofts,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can try resetting and restoring your iPod nano to see if that helps with the restart loop:

  • Ipod Nano 1st gen. stuck in restore loop

    My first generation iPod nano is stuck in a restore loop. iTunes (Windows, XP)is up-to-date and the restoration goes ahead smoothly without error messages until it finishes; then the computer again says the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. It also doesn't cycle on or off using the dial while in this loop. Any ideas?

  • IPod Nano (6G) Stuck In Recovery Mode Loop

    Hi guys,
    I recently found that my iPod Nano (6G) wouldn't turn on. That was until I plugged into my Macbook Pro and it told me I had to perform a recovery.
    So, after performing this recovery and erasing all the data, it just told me the same over and over, never displaying anything except "Do No Disconnect" or "OK To Disconnect" on the screen, even after I've ejected it.
    This happens every time I plug it in and nothing will appear on the screen unless I do so. I've read on other pages that it can be a drive letter mix-up, but that only appears to be a solutions for PCs.
    Any help is hugely appreciated!

    I have this same issue with a 2nd gen iPod. Being instructed to remap the drive letter when windows says the drive is unreadable is not an option. Not possible. The drive does not show in the top half of the device manager, so therefore cannot be right-clicked. Anyone have another suggestion? (the ipod exists in iTunes in a "restore loop" - I discovered it being unreadable when I tried to reformat it).

  • Ipod nano 7th stuck at boot loop and keep restarting

    i got my ipod nano 7th a few day ago. now it stuck in apple logo and keep restarting. i tried reset it already. amd i also put it in disk mode and rrestored. it still restarting the apple logo. are there any solution? There arent any apple store in my country.. Help please..

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

  • HT1459 My iPod nano (6th gen) is stuck in a loop.

    I have a 6th generation iPod nano, the blue one, it has worked flawlessly up to this point and I have no idea why it has suddenly failed. It is stuck in restore/recovery mode, where it says I need to connect to itunes and restore it, but when I connect it to my computer, it goes into disk mode and fails to mount. I am running ubuntu (it had no problems mounting) but I also have a windows vm that I can use with it.
    Any help is appreciated,

  • IPod nano 3G goes into eternal loop with firmware 1.0.2 - fixed with 1.0.3?

    After automatically upgrading to firmware 1.0.2, my iPod nano would enter an eternal loop (apple logo appears/disappears/appears/... until battery is empty) when ejecting from iTunes. The only way of resurrecting it was entering disk mode manually, then connecting & restoring original settings through iTunes. However, then the same problem was seen again when ejecting. I replaced the iPod twice, but both (brand new) devices showed exactly the same problem, right out of the box. I re-installed iTunes as well, no effect. Finally I asked (and got) my money back and returned the iPod. Has anyone else seen the same problem and does anyone know whether firmware update 1.0.3 has fixed the issue? I may then consider to buy another iPod...

    Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this with the last iPod I received, which already showed firmware 1.0.2 when connecting it to iTunes (i.e. without upgrading) and the described problem. I followed instructions for replacing the two files indicated with the 1.0.1 ones downloaded from the web, but iTunes still claimed to have firmware 1.0.2 on the iPod and the problems remained. Though Apple documentation claims that there is an option to set back the firmware to an earlier version, this option does not seem to exist in the Windows version, I only had the option to search for an upgrade or leave things as they are, so I was stuck with 1.0.2

  • IPod Nano in restore loop

    When connecting the iPod nano my laptop, iTunes states the nano is in need of a restore. Ok, I thought, I'll restore it then reload my music, I've succesfully did this before. I proceed with the restore but when it shows back up in iTunes listing, it again asks for a restore. From this point forward, it is in a restore loop. I take this nano to a friends Mac G5 and no problem, loads, re-syncs, works great. Bring it back to my laptop and same problem. Tried another Windows XP PC in my house and it too, works great, loads songs, re-syncs, works fine. I think I have an iTunes database error within this particular Laptop. Removed iTunes and ran a registry cleaner twice but that did not help. Any suggestions???

    Reformat the iPod drive through the computer management within administrative tools in the Control Panel. When doing it select FAT for the format, not FAT32. Its the only way I fixed mine after every other attempt (i.e. drive letter change, reinstalled iTunes, format the drive by right clicking on drive, etc.)

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stuck on apple logo screen

    New iPod nano 7th gen.  At first attempt to upload songs, was prompted to update software.  So, software was updated and as I was installing software update to the iPod, I got a message stating that the iPod was in the process of a restore (I think this is what it said.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention as i was not expecting any problems).  I continued with the restore because nothing had been uploaded to the iPod yet so nothing would be lost.  At this point, the device has been stuck on the apple logo screen for a couple of hours now.  The only response I can get from it is when I do a reset.  The screen will black as it should and then go right back to the logo and stay.  Please help.....Son not happy as this was one of his Christmas presents this morning.  Really not looking forward to a trip to the apple store on the day after Christmas.

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.
