Unable to Play content on ipod nano

I have an iPod nano 5th generation. I listened to radio for the first time (which may or may not be relevant to my current problem). I am able to still listen to the radio, but none of the content stored on my ipod will now play - either with earphones (Itried a few different ones), or over speakers, or by the internal speaker.  I've reset it and that did not help. Any help would be most appreciated!

What happens when you try to play content stored on the device? How did you reset it?
Have you done a full restore in iTunes yet to try and resolve the problem?

  • Since I love the Genius-Mixes I'd really like to convert them into a playlist that I can also play on my iPod-Nano.  Is there a solution?

    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • UNable to play content error on music and videos

    I have an 8330, and I recently begun getting an "Unable to play content" error when I try to play musi or a video.  I first noticed it after recieving the following error message when I turn on my phone, so I figure they are related.
    "Uncaught exception: A  browser content provider for audio/mid MIME type has already been registered with the browser"
    Any ideas on what is wrong or how to fix it?

    UPDATE !!
    SOLUTION: Uninstall What´s App and warm reboot!

  • Video play back on ipod nano 6th gen

    Just curious, since the 7th gen has video playback features, is apple going to have a firmware update for 6th gen ipod nano to play video as well?

    More than likely not, but since all of us here are only end users like yourself, nobody would know such information and its against the Terms of Use of these forums to speculate. Sorry.

  • Unable to reset or restore ipod nano

    Hi, Haven't synced my ipod for over a year and today I connected my nano to my laptop, pressed sync and got a message to say files are corrupted. Looked at ipod and it was syncing however it’s actually wiped all files from the ipod. They're still in iTunes. I thinks it's something to do with ipod using file system FAT32. It seems the ipod wants to use that and it can't because it says another program is using it. It won't let me select another file system option, as it says they are in use too. I do have Mini Tool Partition Wizard on my laptop and don't want to uninstall it but I need to sync my ipod. Can anyone advise, please? thanks. (It may be nothing to do with mini tool as I've only used this to root my Sony Xperia smartphone).

    Hello dorminhoca,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HOW TO DELETE 'OTHER' CONTENT on ipod nano?

    This other content is using up my memory and I cannot download songs.
    1. I do not even know what the other content is or where it has come from
    2. It is not allowing me to download music, I only have 200 songs on it and it is 8GB so something is wrong.
    3. I am willing to delete all current content apart from videos?
    I am not good with computers, so if anyone can help please send straightforward simple to follow instrcutions. All help appreciated.

    Read the PDF user manual for a possible solution:  iPod Manuals, search through Apple's Knowledge Base for support Articles and/or iPod Nano Support 

  • Unable to use brand new Ipod Nano 3rd gen

    I have just purchased an ipod nano 3rd generation. I had previously updated iTunes to the latest version available on my MacBook Pro (10.4.10)
    Whenever I plug it in I get: "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again"
    I've done what it says to do, and I have rebooted etc.. it just won't work.

    Hi thesquib,
    Have you tried connecting your iPod to your computer in Disk Mode? Sometimes if an iPod is in disk mode it will be recognized better by the computer.
    For instructions, see this article:

    Also, did you try all of these five steps?:

  • Unable to sync pictures to iPod Nano

    I tried to sync 1 folder of 1 picture to my iPod Nano Black 8GB. When i press apply in iTunes, it says do not disconnect iPod, but my iPod screen doesn't say Do Not Disconnect like it usually does when it syncs. After a minute or two, it says disk use is unavaible.

    In the summary display for your nano, under the Music tab, is Sync Music checked?

  • Can you play videos on ipod nano??

    i bought a rob thomas video from itunes thinking it would play on it. did i just waste $1.99??

    Your $1.99 isn't wasted if you watch it full screen in iTunes.
    Your $1.99 isn't wasted if you spend $299 on the VIDEO iPod.
    The nano does not do video. There is no room for a video chip - that's how Apple keep it so small.
