TS3474 ipod nano problem
my ipod nano displays OK to disconnect when not connected to anything - can you help
Reset the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

IPod Nano Problem with Turning On
Right I've got a bit of a problem with turning on the nano. I know it works because when its on it's fine, but if its off for a while (i.e. 30 mins or more) and I go to press play or whatever, nothing happens. But if I press any of the buttons about 100 times it will come on and work fine.
Has anyone had this problem and know if there's anything I can do about it. It seems like the buttons don't work properly, but it can't be that because they work when its on.
Here's what I know it's not:
Battery (its full)
In need of a restore (tried that)
Reset (tried that)
In need of new software (just put the latest on)
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Oh also, completely off subject just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, how do you do backwards deletes on a mac (i.e. what the 'del' button does on a PC)?AliasailA, you are kidding, right??
You cannot use someone else's serial number or Apple Care Plan--it doesn't work that way.
I noticed you had another post that said the mini was given to you and has a "sad face icon" and out of warranty. Hummmm.
You really have to send that mini in for repair/replacement or consider it a lost cause. Maybe it is time to buy an iPod Nano for yourself. -
TS3474 ipod nano shows an responsive black screen
After reading a couple of articles regarding my problem, it seems like my ipod nano screen is basically dead and it doesn't respond to at all. I tried to connect it to my computer and I saw the icon on my desktop and it also appeared on my itunes as if it is OK. Everything seems normal except for the ipod screen. So I tried to reset through the computer and also manually by holding - and sleep/wake buttons. On my computer, it appeared that the device is being restored to factory settings.
I still want to know if it is just a screen? or it could be some software that needs to be reinstalled by Apple genius? Could this be a defective product from the factory?
Regards,
IbrahimThe answer hasn't changed since June. Your iPod is not supportable here or by Apple since you attempted to repair it yourself.
Look for advice someplace like ifixit.com, find a competent 3rd party repair shop, or buy a new one. -
i got my ipod nano yesterday but i'm already having problems.
as soon as i downloaded itunes it put all songs i had on my computer onto my ipod. no big deal. then i started importing some of my cds onto itunes and then onto my ipod. again no big deal. then i went ahead and bought three songs off of itunes and put those onto my ipod. then why the ipod was still hooked up to the computer i tried to listen to one of the songs i bought. it played for 21 seconds and then it went onto the next song. and that next song played out just fine. so i went to a song that had come off of one of my cds and it played until 1:21 and then went to the next song. and most other songs would cut off at various times whether the ipod was plugged or unplugged from the computer.
so frustrated i google ipod help and come upon the 5 r's that apple has set up. i reset my ipod. nothing changed. i restarted my computer. nothing changed. and i downloaded the updater and restored my ipod. so after i restored my ipod, i put all my songs back onto my ipod. and now none of the songs will play. i press music and artists or whatever and it shows the song as if it's going to play but it doesnt and it goes to the next song and shows as if its going to play and it doesnt.
can anyone please help me?janey, my sympathies. I have had a few minis, a shuffle, and now a nano, and at various times each of them has gone nuts on me for no apparent reason. With a history of four machines, and three different computers (I am now using a brand new dell xps 200) I can't seem to get these guys to work correctly for very long. They are design marvels, but otherwise, from my vantage point, they stink. Call apple and they will replace it, and qwickly. Once they are bad, they stay bad.

New iPod nano -problem when sharing account with old ipod
my ipod nano disappears from itunes, yet is still connected, so I'm unable to import music. Anything I do import goes to the shared account. I can't update my nano and it's all very disappointing. what can I do?
toshiba satellite laptop Windows XPGo through the Apple troubleshooting steps and see if that solves the problem. Find those here:

Also, try charging it over night. Keep in mind that your computer has to be on for the iPod to charge while connected to the USB connection.

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I am having trouble with my iPod Nano 1Gb. The battery
was still plenty strong when the iPod went off. No sound. When I try to start it again I get a folder icon with an exclamation point on top of it and the URL apple.com/support/ipod underneath. I tried hooking it up to my iBook and got a message that reads 'you have connected a volume that the macintosh doesn't recognize' and it gives me the option to 'ignore'or 'initialize'. Does anyone out there have any input on this dilemma? You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
DennisHi
It's possible your nano got corrupted.
You can try the 5rs http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Typically you'll be able to solve your problem.
However, I think simply initializing your nano will solve the problem. However, it will erase all the data on the nano, so it's not advisable if you have songs you don't want to lose. -
ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?
I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
At this point, what should I do?iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

IPod nano Problem with Nike+iPod
Yesterday, I just got a new 3G Black iPod nano 8 GB. Sooner today, while looking its features, I found out about Nike+iPod application. Since this is my first iPod, I had no idea what it was. It was asking for the receiver to be connected. I thought that the receiver was actually the USB Charger, so I inserted it. Now it's stuck on the screen asking for the receiver to be attached. I pressed any button I could and tried everything as well. Nothing happened.
What should I do? I suppose that when it is discharched, it will be able to work again, but since it's not playing music, I suppose that the battery will last for pretty much time...
HELP!
Edit: Excuse me, wrong category...
Message was edited by: Ash/APYou will need to reset your Nano by holding down the center and menu buttons until the Apple appears on the screen.
The Nike+ Sport kit is a device that attaches to the dock connector of your iPod and has a transmitter that goes in your shoe. Without that, the menu function on the Nano doesn't do much. -
OK, I just purchased 3 ipod nano's. One for myself, one for my son, and one for my friend's daughter.

How do I get her ipod off of my itunes so she can set up her own itunes on her own computer?
Also how do I remove songs from her nano??try reset & software update and asking on iPod nano section, in iPod Nano section

Impossible Ipod Nano problems:1-syncing issues, 2-iTunes won't work at all
My ipod nano started with saying my playlists cannot be synced due to the fact that "no playlists exist"...when they are all obviously there in iTunes.
Then I uninstalled QuickTime & iTunes...then reinstalled them... my ipod would only recognize the Jessica's Ipod Selection playlist.
Then I deleted that, like before when I made my other playlists, in the hope that my other playlists would work
Then it was saying the thing about how my playlists won't sync because they don't exist..again.
Then I reinstalled itunes, + quicktime again..then installed them. Now it is saying "The File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Please, can someone help me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JessThere are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :

Or there's this one which I've also found useful but 32 bit XP only : http://www.revouninstaller.com/
You'd be doing the forced uninstall which specifically to get program left overs.

Ipod Nano problem - always restoring itself
Can anyone please help me? I bought my ipod just under a year ago (2nd Nov) but Apple says its out of warranty.
1st gen ipod nano 4gb, windows XP Pro, itunes (v7.0.1.8) and ipod (v1.3)
When i connect it to iTunes, and transfer music to it, if switches itself off and says 'file cannot be found' or something like that. then when it reconnects to itunes, it has just lost all the music i transfered to it! This has happened about 6 times in the last few weeks.
I have tried all of the following:
reinstall itunes
new usb lead
restore ipod
update ipod and itunes
reboot PC
reboot ipod
cry lots lol
I am going to be so gutted if my ipod is broken, and I cant work out what else to do.
Please someone help me - also if i have receipt for purchase of ipod, will apple believe it is still in warranty?
TraceyWelcome to Apple Discussions!
What kind of noise are you getting? If the sounds were a clicking kind of sound:
When clicking and selecting something while on your iPod, it is natural that it sometimes makes some clicking sounds, as it is accessing the hard drive, so it can play a song, for example.
If the clicking sounds seem to be especially rythemic, that isn't good.
The first thing to do is reset your iPod.
Also, see this link; the Five R's may be worth a try:
The Five R's
If you could describe the noise for us, that would be good.
I hope this helps.

IPod nano problem..help me please..
Hi all!..
I have one iPod Nano, my brother of 7 years created a password, and now I do not know which is.
I do not have more the computer where I connected iPod for the first time, it broke.What I make?
Help me, please,I am despaired.=\
I hope you help me.
Windows XPIf you no longer have your original PC and you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation:

TS3474 IPod Nano screen problem
There is a growing series of white lines on my nano screen. Why is this and how can it be fixed?
If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting address the issue, it's likely a hardware malfunction with the nano's LCD screen.

I have no clue what happened... has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know how to fix it? Please respond ASAP!

Windows XPHi Molly,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Copying songs from your iPod to your computer
"The iTunes library on your computer holds all the songs you've encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Music Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the songs in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can't see the songs iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can't copy these song files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is always one way: from iTunes to iPod.
If you've erased the music library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the songs from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer. One solution is to encode the songs from your CD collection again, then sync your new library with iPod. If you purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store and didn't back them up, there's no way to download them again. You'll have to buy new copies of the songs."
Taken from Using your iPod as a hard disk
So even if there were any tracks on your iPod, Apple has set it so you shouldn't be able to get them back.
You need to reload iTunes with music, and then get into the habit of backing them up as well. Once you've done that you can start loading onto the nano.
To help with backing up your music this link will explain what the files are:
What are the iTunes library files?
