Ipod nano died

go on to either the apple website and see what software it has for your ipod or it maybe needs resynced another solution is to hold the middle button and the on off button and see if that helps to stop the unfreezing

Connect your ipod. Go to my computer right click on the icon of your ipod then click on format.

I have the same problem. My ipod nano is not reconized by my computer or any other and the Ipod's screen is locked. The screen doesn't light up and only apears the time and a battery half way full.It doesn't turn on or play and it doesn't turn off either, but some times it begins to work again but nor for long. I am runnig windows xp and the latest itunes version.

Same thing happened to me...apparently it is a big defect with the ipod nanos.....Call Apple & they will replace it in 5-7 days.

A couple possibilities:
The songs that you have loaded onto the IPod may have fixed-term or limited licenses - if you don't resync to your music svc every 30 days or let your subscription lapse, they become unplayable over time.

This would not explain the games, however. On every Windows-based computer, the iPod can play in 2 modes - msd or mtp mode. If you alternate between these two modes, certain file types become hidden to the player itself, and thus become unusable. I can tell you how to resolve this, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and space: write me back, and let me know if you want me to tell you more.

What type of computer do you have, and what type of OS are you using? Windows XP? Macintosh? Windows Vista?

Try plugging in to computer first, to see if that will revive it. If not, then use the recovery mode instructions in your manual. The manual is available at Apple's website if you lost it.

SOLUTION!!!

I also had the same problem with my ipod nano..

Do this and i assure you, it will work..

1. Hold the MENU button and then the middle button down(in that order) together for about 10 seconds..

2. This should re-boot your ipod..

3. Wait for your ipod to start..

4. Problem fixed. It plays..

you need to send your ipod to the supply for restoring it to factory settings a cause of this is the virus or corrupt ipod software
