iPod nano freak-out

iu also have been having very strange problems with my ipod nano....when i opened it on christmas it was workign fine... as soon as i plugged it into my computerit freeked out and froze.... i reset it and it worked fine for bout 5 hours... then it died... i have had it charging for almost 20 hours now and it still isnt working... anyone have a helpfull hint?

Two problems. One, have problems disconnecting my pod nano from computer. Everytime i put disconnect hardware, it gives me an error saying that some program is still using my pod. However, iTunes and any related "i" program is turned off. Whats goin on? Two, my music quiz option on my nano doesn't work well. It worked once first time i tried it, and now it gives me an error saying "No songs found" when i have over 500 songs on my nano. ??? Anyone have these problems before?

Hi, I was showing my nano to a friend....the picture capabilities. Strange thing is I waited ages for the pictures to load up...but none of them did! Just like your problem. I too had to restart the ipod to which they worked

My first bug with the Nano appears even before I get it = Yesterday (while I was at the Apple Expo. Yes I'm still French) I've been called by a guy from TNT trying to acces to my place for delivering "my" brand new Nano. I gave him the secrets codes (hehe ther're two secrets codes like DrNo place's ..) and hanged off being sure my Nano was waiting for me at home. I came back (with a mac mini in one hand and a powerbook 12" in the other ... I couldn't resist)totally excited ... I put appart the two macs and jump on the Nano box. And here is the bug (remember, the bug which is the meaning of this long post) : IT'S NOT MY NANO !!!! I explain. It's a Nano, it's a 4Gb Nano, BUT, it's a black one(and I booked a white one) , and more off all : it's called Zancudo, and mine should be Beb ... So ZANCUDO's owner, if you read those lines, I know that's somewhere in this small planete (maybe just in Europe), you're waiting for you're black 4 Gb Nano. Don't worry, it (he ? she ?)just make a "bad turn" in Paris, but I'll send it back to Apple by the end of the week (I've just called them). ZANCUDO will be well treated. It (he ? she ?) is still in its case, is very wise, and is patiently waiting for finding it's way back home. Hope mine we'll be well treated also.

I'm thinking about getting a nano but am hunting and searching for bad reports and am finding them. And the AppleCare warranty, to me, sounds like crap. I wonder what percentage of nanos are having issues?

Same happened to me, also when I was showing it off, at least with the missing photos. Reboot fixed the issue, thankfully I was able to play it off as "finishing up my song before removing my 'phones" I hope it doesn't happen often

Hey!! I want to get paid for asking advice too! ;-D

I've had all my past / present iPods experience similar weirdness. The first time it happened, I was listening to "Bad Luck" by Social Distortion. I almost started to cry, because I thought it was a sign from God. After a re-boot and reformat/refresh of my music, it worked fine. Each subsequent time, I have refreshed/restored, and that solved the problem. Kinda sounds like a WIndows PC, but hey, I love my iPods much more :-)

The only blip I've had with my mini was that it used to give a low battery signal - blanking out the audio for a split second after every couple of seconds - when it was sitting in the dock with its wall wart charger plugged in. A forced reset fixes this, so does attaching it to Monty. Where do you keep your nano when you are "on the go"? I'm wondering if it gets too warm, causing some electrons go astray to throw it off, or maybe it's being tweaked in such a way when you are moving around that there's a quick jolt or short happening that's freaking it out.

I dont suppose it could have been the buttons freaking out and thinking they were being touched permanently. Maybe grease or static on one of them? Its a long shot, but my Powerbooks trackpad does odd things like that sometimes.
