iPod Nano 1st generation, not seen by PC

I found my Ipod Nano and reloaded when I first plugged it in to charge it shows the iTunes I remember loading. However, when I plugged it in to the computer (using the same cable that I used recently, so I know it works!), it displays a message "use iTunes to restore". I went through the Reset routine but it still shows the message. Any rational suggestion out there?

Image of the message I get. Yet when I tried to reset (no apparent reaction), if I plug it into the PC (Windows 10) the message will blink on and outside; If I try without the cable or connections, the screen remains blank. Very frustrated now.

  • IPod Nano 6th generation not recognized in itunes

    I have a new ipod nano 6th generation is not recognized on my itunes - although I've followed all the advice on apple's site, which has spent more than two hours with apple engineering staff in their stores. They are clueless or advise that it is a matter of windows like the ipod works on all other PCs and other ipods are recognized even on my itunes.

    The error message I see when itunes opens is "an ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod and try again. If the problem persists, uninstall itunes and then reinstall itunes.

    I tried various online forums and although I found some people with the same problem it seems to be no answer.

    It has also been suggested to me that it may be a driver problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • On my iPod Nano 7th generation, there are some artists who are not listed, although their songs are on the iPod. For example, I have two Blue Oyster Cult songs on the iPod and they show, but Blue Oyster Cult is not listed under "artists".

    On my iPod nano, 7th generation, there are artists who are not in the list of "artists". For example, I have two Blue Oyster Cult songs appearing under "Songs", but Blue Oyster Cult is not indicated under "artists". Is it possible to have the COB and other artists who do not appear to show up under the "artists"?

  • Bad restore iPod Nano 4th generation

    This morning, I tried to restore my iPod Nano 4th generation.

    Everything seemed to go in the right direction: I followed the procedure, iTunes has downloaded the most recent software, but after a few seconds an error occurred (order of 1400, in fact I don't remember the exact number).

    From that moment, iTunes no longer see my iPod, and it is present only as a generic drive in the office.

    I tried to restore the disc mode, but iTunes doesn't see my iPod.

    Can I do something to fix this?

    Thank you!

    If you have not seen Windows Insider make sure you update to the latest version.

    Reset the device and connect it to the computer. Now, does show in iTunes?

    Try the DFU restore process described in corrupt iPod Classic.

  • My iPod nano 2nd generation gets disk errors after installing iTunes?

    I use my iPod nano 2nd generation for... Wow little almost 10 years now and of course is not as sensitive, a little laggy sometimes, battery life isn't as good but still never had real problems with it that can be repaired by a reset. Well not until now and I have not really money to spend to get a new, in particular the fact that practically it still works fine on his own, just that I can not add or remove pieces of her more.

    The problem

    It seems that the computer has trouble reading the device. Whenever I plug my iPod nano 2nd generation USB in my laptop (Windows 10), which has some sort of interaction with it freezes. For the moment I plug in, programs such as Winamp, iTunes, File Explorer (if I click my computer-> try to right click on the drive, that says all F: drive instead of the usual name recognized as "My iPod."), the Device Manager when I try to turn Apple iPod USB Driver and the small icon in the system tray when you try to eject the drop-down list no longer appears, all these programs themselves just freeze and unresponsive until I unplug the device. In Event Viewer, the moment where I plug it, it gets spammed by looping errors to:

    Error: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR21, has a bad block.

    ATTENTION: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR21 during a paging operation.

    So, basically, it seems that the computer is blocked just not try to read and recognize the device, which means that I can't really do anything with it. The iPod itself seems to work fine, I can hear songs, recharge the battery and other things, earlier I can't add or remove pieces of her.

    Stuff leading up to it

    A year or two before, I used to manage the ipod via itunes (a relatively old version of time too I guess since I almost never update) until I formatted my laptop some time ago and never bored computer reinstall itunes. Since then, I really didn't need to change anything to my iPod and just use Winamp (my default music player) to the add/remove songs when I needed to. Today, I decided to install iTunes because there are some things that winamp cannot do as add embedded lyrics and also winamp blurs the sorted list of the song. Since then, after you have installed the new iTunes, start freezing and program I get the problems described above. There might be a chance that iTunes was not the real culprit and the disc was already beginning to get corrupted or something somehow, but I can't think of anything that's happened before this problem started.

    I tried many things

    • Uninstalled iTunes and all the other stuff related to the installation as pie, Apple Mobile Device Support... .etc
    • Reinstall the device driver USB Apple iPod. When I turn it off (Plug in iPod-> iPod poster 'do not disconnect'-->--> Device Manager driver right click-> disable-> Device Manager freezes up-> unplug ipod-> Device Manager-> thaws plug ipod in) ipod becomes simply the State of charge. Steps to reinstall is the same (need to plug and unplug).
    • Reset iPod in now the Center button + menu button.
    • Will then resetting operation rewind + Centre button iPod diagnostic mode. It is not a test disc hard because I guess nano doesn't have a disc hard just flash ram. Anyway, when I select SDRAM QScan he only says: "SDRAM OK." NAND_SPEC gives "NandLBA = 1982464". Flash gives Checksum "Checksum is 0x26AF".
    • Wanted to try as described here to check for disk errors, but cannot because the computer cannot correctly recognize and explore freezes if I right click. I tried using 'chkdsk f:' in the command prompt, but that seems to hang as well.
    • Switches mode disc reset ipod then now Center + play button. Then connect the laptop... etc, same problem.

    It's a pretty old device, so it seems that support because it is very rare. I didn't install iTunes could screw up the device that it is intended to support and do anything as permanent as this one.

    You must exclude a faulty USB, cable anchorage, try another, or using your power with another Apple device cable, to confirm that it works correctly.

    Otherwise, your troubleshooting seems complete.  If that's what you've done for disc Mode

    How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

    and connection to your computer causes this issue General 'freeze' with multiple processes, the iPod has possibly a hardware problem.  Flash storage eventually.  Or it can be a problem on the logic board of the iPod.

    I suggest try to reformat the iPod using Windows, as if it were a USB flash drive.  But you can only do if the system hangs when you connect iPod.

    NOTE: If you find a way to reformat iPod using Windows, use FAT32 as the disc format.  If there is an option to do a quick format, do a full format instead.  Once the process is complete, the iPod is totally blank.  You do restore using iTunes (if you are prompted or not), to the embedded iPod software.

  • iPod Nano 6th generation of devices

    I have an iPod Nano 6th generation. I would like to continue to use it to play music during the night while I SLEEP. I got an iHome unit, but who has just died. I have two conditions for a new device. The device must plug into a wall outlet and charge the iPod Nano.

    Can someone suggest a new device?

    There are two separate functions here.  Charging the iPod and speakers are active.  The iPod has two connectors for audio output and power, so do not force yourself to a single device.

    Use a common USB adapter, (that plugs into the wall), as the type that comes with the iPhone or other device and standard USB cable to charge the battery of the iPod.  Connect common self-powered speakers, as the type that people use computers, making headphone iPod.  That is how I use my iPod touch on the bedside table.

  • When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

    MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

    Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.

  • How can I get my songs Apple music on my iPod Nano? I pay $15 a month for the service and cannot listen to songs on my iPod Nano 7th generation.

    I pay $15 a month for the service of music and cannot hear the songs on my iPod Nano 7th generation. Someone must have found a way around this now? I might as well sell my iPod, because I'm not paying for the song in iTunes as well.

    You can not.  Downloads music from Apple are written songs, does not belong to him. Apple music requires an Internet connection, so that the status of your subscription can be verified (as required by the content producers).  The only iPod that can use music Apple's iPod touch, because there Internet by Wi - Fi.

    I'm sorry that I can't answer in Spanish.  I used Google Translate.

    Lithium batteries can become unable to hold a charge, if left in a State completely drained for a long period.  Given that the iPod was never opened and charged, which could be the reason that the battery of the iPod does not hold a charge now.

    Apple can no longer service the 5th generation iPod nano, but if you do a search on the Internet, there may be electronics independent repair companies in your area familiar with Apple.  The drum part is available online.  This web site illustrates the procedure

  • iPod Nano 4th generation - battery problem

    Hello

    I have an iPod Nano 4th generation and I love it. But recently, I see that the backup battery is very poor (difficult to get 2-3 hours of continuous music playing). I went to the service center, but unfortunately, they say that there is no possibility to replace the battery or iPod, even if I'm ready for the paid service, because the warranty is void

    The only option left for me is to use it until it works (until the battery is completely dead) and then throw it away. Y at - it any other option left, I'm not aware of.

    Kind regards

    Girish

    If you do a search on the Internet for the independent repair companies in your area, you can find one knowing well Apple that will make the replacement of the battery.  In this case, the technician didn't need to be "certified" officially by Apple because it is not a warranty repair.  Technology needs of having an experience.

    You can do it yourself, if you are technically inclined.  This web site has repair guides

    and third spare batteries are available on eBay and other online sellers.

  • iPod Nano 6th generation works with ElCapitan?

    IPod Nano 6th generation works with El Capitan?

    I can't seem to connect to iTunes 12 to download music?

    My nano gen 5 works.  And my iPod 3rd gen since about 2003 "classic" works with the latest OS X and iTunes.

    If you did not for a long time, remember to close the Mac (power off) and start it again.  iTunes has some background processes that identify when an iPod is connected, and they may stop working properly if the Mac worked without reboot for awhile.  Also, if you can, try to use another USB cable, where one of the uses has become defective.

    Look at the screen of the iPod when you connect it?  What did he say or do, just after the connection (if any)?
