MY IPOD NANO IS WHITE

have a look at this website it could help you out http://nickmomrik.com/2007/06/29/unock-ipod-screen-lock/ hope it does

1. Plug the iPod into the primary computer linked to that iPod, the first computer you synchronized it with unless you have designated another computer as the primary computer.
2. Open iTunes and sync the iPod as normal.
3. Remove the iPod, following the normal removal procedure. The iPod unlocks automatically as you remove it.

On your ipod, turn the hold switch on, then off, then press the center button and menu button at the same time until an apple shows up on the screen (7-15 sec.). Problem solved.

try uninstalling itunes and re installing it or sometimes you may have to reformat your ipod for it to re connect its a pain i know that is the worst case though

I formatted my ipod Nano (2GB - Model No: A1199) on windows Vista. When I copy songs from computer it show from computer but not showing in ipod: Now songs are not playing. I am missing my music. Help me........

have you tried different earphones?

Try this - it at least seems to have fixed the same problem, at least for now, with my 2nd generation Nano:

1. When you see the white screen, hold down both the Play and Select buttons together, pressing the Play button a little bit before the Select button.
2. When the white screen goes to black, release the two buttons almost simultaneously with the Select button released slightly before the Play button.
3. Hopefully, if done with the right timing, you should get your normal screen back. If not, try switching the Hold on and off or changing the starting mode by listening through headphones to see if it is playing or not.
4. Once you have recovered the screen, plug it into your computer to sync without turning it off and perform a complete sync. After I did this my Nano stayed in the normal screen mode. Before I had done this step, it kept reverting to the white screen.

One more thing to try if this still doesn't work is to first try restoring the Nano completely through iTunes.

I'll be interested to hear whether my solution works for anyone else.

take the songs from it transfer to pc, then try resyncing with itunes, hope this helps
