Why does my iPod keep resetting itself back to factory setting when I sync it to iTunes?

I got a new mackbook air and I had to restore my iPod nano to get it to sync to it. But now everytime I sync it, it will say syncing and then ready to disconnect but then it restarts itself to no music. I don't know why it's doing this...help!

I would try restoring it in iTunes first. See if that clars it up.

  • Why does my iPod keep resetting on IOS 8?

    Since I updated to IOS 8 around this time last week, my iPod Touch 5th gen has crashed 3 times. To reset it I have had to plug it in to my computer, which is inconvenient when I am in lectures all day and my iPod stops working first thing in the morning, or when the alarm doesn't go off because it has tried to reset itself in the middle of the night.
    What am I supposed to do to stop it from refusing to work? I have had only one occurrance of this over the last 2 years and that's because it overheated, which it definitely is not doing now.

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Why does my ipod automatically reset itself when im listening to it?!

    I will be clicking through songs and all of a sudden it just resets itself...and also if im fast forwarding through a song it also just resets it self.....everything it up to date so what is the problem
    5th gen video   Windows XP  

    You could reset iPod when scrolling trough songs very quickly, you might have pressed -MENY- by mistake while scrolling. Do not give Your iPod too much commands in same time, i'd bug myself if somebody push me round too much. It's a good machine but do not over do it.
    Hope this helped

  • Why does my iphone4s keep resetting itself?

    I would have my iphone4s on and on like game app or fun app and next thing I know it is blank screen then the apple logo and then blank screen for while then apple logo and then sometimes back to my iphone screen
    it is like it is someone or something restarting or it is doing it self
    and i don't know why
    please help

    Try to set up the phone as new device without using the backup, explained in this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the phone works after that, restore your data and settings from the backup again. If the problem comes back, the backup contained damaged data that caused the restarts and you'll have to start all over again without your backup data.
    If this only happens during playing certain apps, deleting and reinstalling those apps might help.

  • After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    hi Apfelwurm,
    why do you say it's not normal.
    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
    i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
    it's been noticed by others too.

  • Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos

    why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps?

    Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps? I have a 32 gb 4th gen iPod Touch with only 11gb used, and I currently run 6.1.5 Everytime I run a high memory app, without fail it crashes. These apps include but are not limited to instagram, infinity blade, subway surfer, gmail, clear vision 3, dropbox, and even Safari has crashed on multiple occasions. I tried resetting the settings and that seemed to work for about a day but now I'm back at square one.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

  • Ipod keeps reseting itself

    so after i had the trouble with my ipod last week and ended up replacing it at the apple store for a small fee of $32.05, this new ipod is giving me more problems.
    so this new ipod keeps reseting itself. for example, i connected it to my computer and the "do not disconnect" sign won't come off and it's not connecting to itunes. so i reset the ipod. it finally connected and then i ejected the ipod no problem. so then from now on, it resets itself, leading me to restore the ipod. so i restored it, and the problem still occured. and then i reset it again and now it's working fine.
    in conclusion, does anyone have some suggestions/comments/idea for this situation?

    that's EXACTLY what is happening to me. i plan to go back to the apple store very soon because i've run out of ideas as to what to do to solve this dilemma. i'm glad though i'm not the only one with this problem although i am sorry you have the problem too lol.

  • IPod keeps reseting itself while updating

    I've had previous trouble with my 60GB iPod Video, but I think this is the last problem... I am trying to update my iPod but while its updating the iPod keeps reseting itself over and over again... please help!!!

    There's nothing you can do but bring it back to the store. Mine does the same thing, it just goes to show that Apple is so busy pushing these new iPods on us and releasing them too soon that the customers end up having to deal with their hardware failures---all because they didn't take the time to test these!!!

  • What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

    I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

    As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6.  Google it.
    You can get the app from the app store if you like.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?
    Restart, reset, restore.

    Why does my ipod keep saying 'your apple ID has been disabled when i try to get a free app???

    If you rest it on your computer's iTunes then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
