Yikes! I need HELP RE: connecting my iPod Nano!

I just bought a 4G iPod Nano TODAY. I'm kind of "electronically challenged." So I plugged my Nano into my computer, using the very brief instructions that were provided with my Nano. My songs loaded fine, but when I removed the Nano from my computer, I could not get the USB cord out of my Nano. Of course, like a *******, I pulled and pulled and pulled, until the wires started coming out of the connection. Then I really started freaking out! Got out my pliers, and finally was able to remove the connector. However, in doing so, I have now done something so that a new connector won't go in. I realized AFTER I had done all of this that I needed to press on the two sides of the connection in order to get it out of the Nano. Does anyone know if Apple will fix this? I am going to cry if this can't be fixed. Please let me know ASAP. I don't think I can sleep until I find out. Thanks for your help.

this falls into the category of abuse, so no, i don't believe apple will fix it. i would try buying a new cord first, see if that helps. unless it is the nano's connector that is messed up, then you are SOL.

I need help with charging my ipod nano!!!!

Ok when I go to charge my ipod nano it says it's already charged but when I take it off the charger and try to listen to music it say battery has no energy battery drained. So if someone can please try to help me get it to work.

I disagree. Don't assume that it needs to be replaced without first testing it.

Need help moving music from iPod nano to new computer

I had a computer that had all of my music on it, it was a combination of music I purchased from iTunes, purchased from other places, and that had been transferred from my CDs. That computer died, and the music was lost. My CDs are in storage and I can't put my hands on them easily. All of that music was on my iPod Nano, but when I plug it in it only gives me the option to erase and sync, and I don't want to lose what's on my iPod but I would like to add new music that I've added to iTunes on my new computer to the iPod. Is this even possible?

it 's possible you just have to change your sync option from automatic to manual
the way to do this is the do the following
-open iTunes while ipod is connected
-if you get the message to erase and sync just click cancel
-on the left hand side of the iTunes window click on your device in the devices section
-in the ipod summary page go to the bottom of the page and choose "manually manage music"
-click apply and now any new music you want to sync you just drag the music from the library section and drop it onto the ipod in the devices section in iTunes
hope this helps:)
ps: this is only a temp fix but if you want something more then just a work around just post back

I need help to reset my iPod Nano

I must have clicked in the wrong place, because I can no longer play my songs.
(1) When I click on "artists," the right hand column changes from "off" to "on," and when I click on "artists" again, the right hand column changes from "on" to "off". Nothing else happens. Just "off" to "on," and "on" to "off".
(2) When I tried to change the volume, I was taken to a screen showing a combination lock and places above to insert four numbers.
(A) I don't know how to insert numbers
(B) Is this necessary? Why do I have to insert numbers? What's then purpose of this?
Please help me get my Nano back to the way it was when I bought it. I just want to be able to select a song, or an artist and then one of his songs, and then play that song.

Reply # 2: That link doesn't help. It shows how to restore the factory settings but "restoring" means that you lose all of your songs. I definitely don't want that.
In fact, it's the only thing that will help. Have a look at this link about setting a volume limit lock. If you scroll down the page you will see that if you don't know the code, a restore is the only option for removing the lock.

A restore is a very common fix for iPod ills and it's easy enough to put the music back on your iPod from your iTunes back up afterwards.
I wasn't happy with your answer--sorry--so I took advantage of my 3 year Protection Plan and called in for help. Then, when I was trying to explain my problem, I found there was no longer any problem. My Nano has fixed itself. Anyway, to make my call worthwhile, the man I talked to sent me some information on operating my Nano. He also sent me a little piece on setting, and unsetting, the security lock. For me, this device is totally unnecessary, but I guess there are people who are afraid that others will use their machine without their permission. That's hard for me to understand, but it takes all kinds...

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

TS1398 I need help getting connected to our home wifi.

I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

Yikes! I need HELP RE: connecting my iPod Nano!
