No
Dont know if anyones had same problem but I have a 3month old 3rd generation nano which is no longer working. :'(

Havent used it for a week, now its not turning on presumably flat battery. Stuck it on PC but I get an error message saying the usb device is malfunctioning. (its not the pc cos other stuff works on my usb port)

rang up techy support and did that remove and reload software stuff but still no luck.

Now I have to go to apple store for them to look at it.

Anyone else had this? :shrug:

I'm fed up :bang:


(Bring back vinyl 12 inch records;))
 
I think I read somewhere that you have to leave it plugged into the PC for at least 10 minutes before it's got enough power to work the USB properly.

My neighbour had an older Ipod, he had to buy a mains charger because his PC would not charge it from a "flat" battery.
 
ok.....I'll give that a go although the techy support girl never mentioned that? To busy chewing gum :nono: :)
 
do you have an option in your itunes to reset it to factory setting?
could be worth a try.
i had a new classic 3 months old it packed in i took it to the apple store and they gave me a new one! so don't worry if it doesnt work
 
I dont Mark no......its not showing as a device anymore in Itunes.

blimmin annoying.......and to think I have to go to Bluewater :bang: What a waste of time

its been more than 10mins mrgubby...no luck

Thanks for that link Ian. Its more informative:thumbs:

......Ive now stuck it on my laptop to see if it charges. I dont know why it no longer shows as a device in itunes so I cant restore factory settings.

Ive tried everything else


oh well......perhaps I can combine going to bluewater on saturday with a movie. :)

Usually when mine stopped being seen in Itunes, doing that reset sorted it, obviously if its not charging thats kind of difficult though :(
 
Kind of.....basically I sync it on my laptop now. A pain as I had to transfer all the files. Dont know why my main pc doesnt recognise my ipod..........I tried everything bar chucking out of window :) the gum chewing techie was no help whatsover

Listening to your music collection used to be easy eh? :bang:
 
ahhhhhh, the trouble was a pc how very microsoft :lol:
 
I wish Id never bought it now......its a pain!!

I quote like the downloading music for 50p a track though :)
 
where's this 50p track downloading, thought it was 79p. though i am a yorkshireman
"quote like"...
huh?
quite like?
 
where do you downlaod from then? I can save you 29p..........it'll cost you though
 
i get them from itunes of course, very loyal to the apple-ista
 
is he really a yorkshireman? Spending so foolishly makes me think he really is an essex boy now! :lol:
 
he is yes............but I thought yorkshiremen were tight (well yorkshires not that far from scotland is it?)

wait till I tell him I download albums for a mere quid :D
 
about as far from scotland as it is from london...

You pay as much as that? ;)
 
come on then.....where can you get them legally for less than a quid?

and dont tell Mark:wave:
 
Did I say I get them for less? My point was you pay as much as that for music when you can go out and listen to live music for free in the tube! ;)
 
nice....with the smell of sweat and wee all around for free too!
 
and where madam do you get your albums for a pound?
i dont believe you by the way
 
cant quite hear you Mark
 
please
pretty please
pretty please with sugar on top
 
i had a problem with the same type of ipod, if you go into disc manager and if you can see it there try changing the drive letter.. that sorted my problems.. its worth a try..
 
I'm sure I tried that too Fraggle.......can check later though :thumbs:
 
my ipod comes up with the apple logo on the screen now and then - i stick it on a mains charger for 15mins or so then turn it on usually works spot on. Battery is just that dead it wont work.

Mind you i only have mine plugged into the car - thats the reason i bought it!
 
now where's that solicitor that's a member here.....
