Lithium Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 When I plugged my iPod Nano into my PC a couple of days ago to get some new songs into it, it suddenly wouldn't show as a unit in iTunes, it just loads the battery. It's like it isn't even there!Could someone please help me fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray_TH Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I recently had a problem with my iPod whereby it basically stuck on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen that shows when you're connected to iTunes.I think I'd unplugged it without shutting it down or something.I'm not sure if this is the problem you're referring to or not.If it is, basically you need to reset the little bugger by holding down the Menu button and the Select button simultaneously as detailed here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705This will DELETE EVERYTHING off your iPod and restore it to its factory settings but it should connect again as normal after that...

rQueen Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I recently had a problem with my iPod whereby it basically stuck on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen that shows when you're connected to iTunes.It shows this message to me all the time it's connected to my computer. No matter if I'm not connected to iTunes or if its battery is charged I usually disconnect it when I think it's charged. Apart from that I've had no other problems with my nano Edited March 18, 2007 by rQueen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Pressing Menu + Select doesn't delete everything off the iPod. My iPod froze this morning so I pressed Menu + Select and it reset itself, but no data was deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Does your computer recognize the device? Sometimes when iTunes doesn't recognize it, just restart the iTunes and the iPod will be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 It does not show in either My Computer or iTunes, it just loads the battery, it doesn't even show "Do not Disconnect" like it always does when I connect it to my PC.I tried connecting my old iPod Mini, and everything worked fine, so it must be my Nano that there is something wrong with.

I used to have an older style iPod shuffle and it went through a faze of not mounting on the desktop. I re-installed the original software and restored the factory settings and it sprang back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray_TH Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 How do I reset my iPod to factory settings?As my last post or just connect it to iTunes, I think there's an option to Restore in the iPod menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
