Why did my iPod nano 6th generation stop working?

My iPod nano isn't yet a year old. It just stopped working one day. I don't have much music stored on it. I thought it was the battery but plugging it up didn't do anything. Please help!

Make sure the headphones jack is inserted all the way. There's a switch inside the socket: if the jack isn't inserted all the way the switch will not be pressed, and the iPod assumes that there's no headphones connected.
If the headphones jack is inserted all the way and the problem still occurs, try a different set of headphones.
If that doesn't help, the switch may be broken and needs to be repaired.

  • Why does my iPod Nano 6th generation stop playing after a specific time only on 2 songs? (but both at different times)

    My Songs (Eminem,Just Lose It) stops after 57 second seconds and my other song (Jessie J, Who's laughing Now) stops after 1 minute 23 seconds. I think this might've happened because internet connection was lost while it was loading but I'm not sure how to help it and find a way to make it play fully threw.

    Do these same songs play okay in iTunes?  Were they originally downloaded from the iTunes Store?

    Check your warranty status here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If you are still covered either continue there to send it in or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store. You do not need the receipt.

  • Ipod nano 6th g stopped working

    Ipod nano 6g doesn't work with ear phones.  Has to be plugged in, but doesn't need a charge.  Worked fine yesterday evening with earphones and works if it is plugged in to electrical outlet, but not otherwise.  Any thoughts?

    If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
    You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.  If the iPod is under 1 year old, it may still be covered under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. In that case, make an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and they should be able to swap it ou for you at no cost.
    Otherwise, you can opt to pay for a battery replacement.  Here is pricing.

    Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

  • Why is damaged the power button on the iPod nano 6th generation?

    Hello everyone,
    Is the second time this happens to me with the ipod nano 6th generation, can someone tell me, why is damaged the power button?

    You may not intentionally be doing anything. The device is small enough to fit in your pocket and perhaps something in your pocket is causing the damage. Maybe even the pocket itself when inserting or removing the device as the power button may snag on the pocket opening.

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • IPod nano 6th generation no longer synching runs to Nike+

    Just got a pop-up when I connected my iPod nano (6th generation) that stated something that workout data would no longer be sent to Nike+ because iTunes no longer supports pedometer devices.  I can't seem to find any details about why I can no longer synch workouts, from either Apple or Nike.
    Anyone know what's going on with this?

    I found this info on another thread and it worked for me.

  • The volume increase button is stuck on my iPod nano (6th Generation) and I can't turn the volume up. Is there a way to fix it?

    I have the iPod nano 6th generation, and I have had it since Christmas 2011 so it isn't that old; recently I went to listen to my music and found that the volume increase button is stuck (basically it's like when you press the volume button down to increase the volume, except it is stuck down like that and won't come back up) but it was only stuck about 3/4 of the way down. For about a week this was ok, I just had to press the button harder to make it go down and increase the volume, but now it won't increase the volume at all and it feels and looks as though the button is stuck the whole way in, even when I press the button with some force. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it or if I need to take it to an apple store for them to fix it?!
    Sorry if the way I have explained the problem is confusing, it's difficult to explain but it's extremely frustrating.

    This happened to me a few weeks ago.  Instead of taking it to the Apple store and paying $ the 99 service charge ( I did give Apple 139.00 13 months ago! for this ipod), I saturated the end of a q-tip w/ WD 40 and carfefully rubbed around the perimeter of the power button.  I waited a half hour and then cleaned of the excess WD 40.  This unstuck my power button.  I guess the WD 40 dissovled all the dirt under and around (also the consrtuction of the buttons is done w/ double sided tape-- maybe a design issue) the button.  A friend tried isopropyl alcohol w/ great results.  Try this before you give Appple any more $$ or get a new ipod.  It's been 6 wks. and my button functions perfectly,
