IPod Nano 4th generation forced to put in the form

Hello

Whenever I connect my Ipod to PC with Windows 10 mu, the system indicates that the device needs to be formatted, and iTunes says also that the device is damaged then suggest to restore, I apply the restore from iTunes, but after she finishes at the suggestion of restoration appears again. I tried to format the device, but no matter who after that iTunes performs restoration that Windows still says that the device needs to be formatted and iTunes claims again for a restore, Yes... the loop.

The weird this part is I plugged my iPod to a laptop, where I also iTunes and songs and the only thing that's happened is that iTunes has asked for a restoration which was completed successfully, actually now my iPod have a few songs on it and plays without problem, but when I connect it again to my main computer always ask me to format the device and restore it.

I thought my iPod was dead, but as you can see that the device is recognized in my laptop, so I need to know what to do for my PC does not format my iPod. Also I updated iTunes to 12.4 without results.

Best regards

The Microsoft forums, it will be a problem of Windows 10 where it is not recognizing your Nano.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Threw my ipod touch 4th generation

    Hello

    I have an old ipod touch 4th generation which I broke all the time. I threw the ipod touch in the field (long story) and it has not worked since. It lights and IV ' e tried to reload and reset but nothing works. I would like to get rid of it, but I have a few photos and videos in the photo album that I really want to keep. Is there a possible way to get photos and videos retrieved when its broken? Is there a way out of the chip memory inside and somehow get it from who? Can I take it to someone for repair? I really REALLY want photos and videos from there. Any suggestions or solutions?

    Thank you!

    If iTunes does not detect the iPod your only hope is a data recovery company. The flash storage is soldered to the logic board.

  • 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.

  • Uses for iPod touch 4th generation 32 GB

    Hi all.

    I have my trusty very iPod Touch 4th generation sitting in my drawer for office like a beast.

    I really want to re-purpose it but I am lost at what to do with it.

    I don't want to use it in a car that I am still happy with the radio.

    It is not a point to use it as a storage device in my computer as I have too much storage in there now.

    I will not also use it to listen to music that I have my smaller iPod Nano still running stable after 4 years of ownership.

    If anyone has any suggestions other than that described above, it would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • iPod nano (3rd generation) used to synchronize with Itunes on a XP computer

    I have an Ipod nano 3rd generation that seems to have stopped. The only thing I see on the screen is the apple logo. I tried to reset a dozen times (at least) and installed the latest version of Itunes, but nothing helped. I do not see the ipod appears as a device anywhere on my computer. I downloaded SyncToy 2.1, but when I tried to install it I got the following error message:

    Component Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Components could not install with the following error message:
    "A fatal error occurred during the installation of Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Components".

    The following components were not installed:
    -Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Provider Services

    The following components failed to install:
    -Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Component

    Any suggestions?

    Julie

    Using MS Sync something won't solve your problem. Normally, you need iTunes to transfer music/videos etc. to and from iPods, phones etc. keys. Or you can buy the 3rd plugins for WMP, such as MGTEK Dropsi.

    Your problem is that the iPod nano seems to be frozen, I would try to leave a post on the Apple site as its more a problem for them than Ms. You need to find on how to make a plant of re - put in order for UN - gel you Nano.

    See you soon,.
