WHAT NOW?? My Ipod Nano froze.

My ipod froze completely and I am unable to do anything with, other than watch it as the battery goes dead. I would much rather listen to my music now instead of having to wait. Could anyone help me? This has happened before.

Try Resetting your iPod. Hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display. Have a look at these links for more information:
iPod isn't responding it appears to be frozen
iPod stops responding or will not waken from sleep

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

WAL MART now selling IPOD NANOS?

I was just shocked to se a commercial for WAL MART now selling IPOD Nanos. I never thought this would be possible Is this true? If it is I would think Apple would be throwing a hissy fit. I could have saved an awful lot of money on my Nano.

Yes, it's true. It's all a part of Walmart's campaigne to try and attract more upscale customers. (That's why they're remodeling all of their stores.) because it's gotten a repution for being the New and not so improved K-mart. (IE, A place selling inferior products where poor people shop.)
They're doing this to try and compete on Target's level because recent studies suggest that most higher-paid people prefer to shop at Target instead of Walmart.
Personally I think it's a losing battle. But then again I shop at Target and HATE walmart. hehe

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
CD-i200 iPod cable for above
Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Apple are you listening??

TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano does not show in the device menu

installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano does not show in the device menu

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

My Ipod Nano FROZE!! And I can't get it to turn off!!

Ok, so it isn't MY Ipod Nano. I bought it for my younger sister. But I told her to give it to me if she had any troubles, and I am lost now. She gave it to me and the thing is FROZE!! I didn't know Ipods could freeze! How do you fix that? I push all of the buttons but it doesn't even make the clicking sound.
I seriously need help.

I looked at a different topic and I found out how to
fix it. Thank you for your help anyway! ^.^ All I
had to do was hold the Menu and the Center button for
10 seconds. ^.^
Isn't that what I told you?
"...press and hold Menu and center buttons simultaeously for 6 or more seconds. That should RESET it..."
However, it really doesn't matter, the problem is solved for now.
For future reference, the wonderful manual[*] on page 45 actually recommends the following:
To reset iPod nano:
1 Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, and then turn it off again).
2 Press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Whats better the ipod nano or Ipod video??

What are your views on the ipod nano and ipod video??

I'm horrified that Apple have released a video iPod and stuck a tiny 4:3 ratio screen on it. I know that 16:9 widescreen has only just appeared in the good old US of A, but as one of the countries at the forefront of Hi-Def TV (which has 16;9 widescreen images as standard) I am quite bemused - what are you going to watch; black and white re-runs of 'I love Lucy' - again. Or perhaps just even smaller letterboxed films, (special 1 inch high presentation of Star Wars Episode 3 ?) TV shows and pop promos? ( most of which are now shot 16:9 widescreen especially if they are sourced HD)
I hate to say this but buy yourself a nano for your music (Apple's music players still beat every other one out there) and get a PSP for watching films/videos !
Let the torrent of abuse begin....

My computer restarted while I was updating my software from OS4 to OS5 and now my ipod is froze in a way that it shows the symbol that I should connect it to itunes. I connected it but itune is not recognising it. I have tried to reset but it nothing.

My computer restarted while I was updating software from OS4.1 to OS 5. Now my Ipod touch is just frozen. All it shows is the usb connection to itune symbol. Itune does not recognise. I have done the reset but nothing happens after the apple symbol shows up and back to usb and itune symbol. Help please.

See if placing the Ipod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so yu can restore the iPOd.. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next try DFU Mode.

What keeps the iPod nano from quitting after a minute of play?

I'm trying to use the iPod nano in my truck and it plays for 1 minute and then quits

The headphones have to be plugged all the way in. They almost snap in when they are totally connected.

What does the Ipod Nano hold exactly?

I was just wondering if it held everything like the ipod original does? Will it hold files like the ipod use to or is it just for music and movies?

The iPod nano is just a smaller, less capacious version of the iPod classic. There are no differences in capabilities.
