Hi

Things You'll Need
iPod Nano Mac or PC computer iPod USB cable

With the latest iPod Nano model, you can set a four-digit code and lock all intruders from accessing your iPod. In order to use the device's functions again, you need to enter the correct code. However, if you happen to lose or forget the code, you will need to find another way to unlock your iPod Nano.

1
Plug the iPod USB cable into the bottom of your iPod Nano. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a free USB port on your Mac or PC computer. Open the iTunes program by using the Dock on a Mac or the Start menu on a PC.
2
Select your iPod Nano from the "Devices" list in the main iTunes window. Click on the "Sync" button to make a connection between your computer and your iPod Nano.
3
Click on the "Eject" symbol once the syncing process is complete. Remove your iPod Nano from the USB cable. The iPod's lock code will now be reset and you will be able to access all features again.
4
Navigate to the "Screen Lock" option in the iPod menu to lock your iPod's screen again. Since your iPod's lock code was just reset, you will be prompted to select a new four-digit code.

Have you tried connecting it to different USB ports, go into your device manager and Select USB (bus i think it is), at this point have the pod disconnected. When you connect it at the top it gives you the option to refresh and see if their are any changes under USB. It could be a number of things, problem with the USB port, damaged cable, out dated drivers etc.

Try to download the driver from iPod's manufecturer's website.

Try reseting the iPod.

To reset iPod nano:
1 Toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to HOLD and then back again).
2 Press and hold the Menu and Center buttons for at least 6 seconds, until the
Apple logo appears.

Your battery is dead!!! Try to recharge with USB adapter!!! If that doesn't work you need to change battery. Give me some spec. about your MP3!

Hi,

Try updating or reinstalling iTunes.

It's in disk mode and the computer thinks that it is only a storage device. You need to reset it to get it back to normal.

You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will shut off, then back on.

- check the cable - check the connections on the bottom of the ipod for bent pins, or dirt - make sure ipod battery is fully charged - if you have all your library backed up, reset ipod to factory. You will lost all settings etc. though. - check usb ports are working properly with no conflicts or driver issues (control panel\system\hardware\device manager) - uninstall usb ports on pc, let pc redetect them

Hi cholo, -Turn the hold switch on and then off. -Hold down the menu and middle button until the Apple logo appears, usually about 6 to 10 seconds. -If that doesn?t work repeat the process and you should be good to go. -If that didn?t work try plugging you Nano into your computer using the USB cable Let us know if you have any more questions and please don?t forget to rate the posting.
