iPod Nano 4th Generation: iPod riconosciuto dal Mac solo come disco esterno

Sat, 23 Apr 2022 11:02:55 -0700

salve ho ritrovato un vecchio iPod (4° generazione, a1285, 8Gb) sul quale c’erano delle canzoni che non mi servivano più.
ho collegato l’iPod al Mac, me lo ha riconosciuto perfettamente e ho cliccato su ripristina per riaverlo come nuovo ma mentre stava caricando si è disconnesso da solo ed ora quando vado a ricollegarlo me lo vede solo come disco esterno. ho provato a ripristinarlo tenendo premuti i tasti menu e selezione come riportato nelle guide su web, si è anche ripristinato, ma ricollegandolo col cavetto al Mac mi dà sempre lo stesso errore, ovvero che lo vede solo come disco esterno.
Qualche soluzione? Intanto grazie mille a chi mi risponderà

iPod Nano 2nd Generation: Possible to swap storage drive?

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:21:39 -0700

After using it for 20 years and putting weird Rockbox - related stuff on it my iPod nano 2's drive is now completely broken. It became a RAW drive a while ago and now my computer can't even format it. I'd like to swap a new storage chip onto the Nano 2 but I have no idea what kind I should buy and the max storage it would support. Can anyone confirm what kind of chip I should buy and the largest amount of storage it would support? thanks in advance🤓

iPod Nano 6th Generation: My music stops playing after a minute or two

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:46:31 -0700

First let me say I have reset the iPod and made sure the ear buds are flushed with the iPod. I am not sure why it keeps shutting off. I did think it was my ear buds and tried them with another music and they work fine (they are beats). Please help. I really like this iPod and apple doesn't make this one anymore.

iPod Nano 5th Generation: iPod Nano charges but won't connect to USB on any computer

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 06:11:19 -0700

My iPod nano suddenly stopped connecting to any computer.

When I plug it in it will charge, but not connect, it doesn't show up in iTunes, explorer, disk manager or device manager. The iPod is otherwise fully functional.

Things I've tried:

Hard Reset (both when connected and not)

Disk Mode

Original Apple cable, and aftermarket cables (charges on all, won't connect)

Uninstalling iTunes

Restarting computer with iPod attached

Uninstalling all USB drivers and restarting

Plugged into Windows 7/10 and OSX, no change.

I even tried connecting it to an android phone with an adapter .

Reset iPod settings

I am pulling (what little is left) of my hair out with this! I have come to the end of the internet and I've run out of options, the only thing left to assume is that it's a hardware issue but it was literally working, then sat on a desk for a bit, then stopped working, nothing happened in between and it never had any issues before.

Any insight is appreciated, even solidarity if you are experiencing the same thing. It's just so frustrating, at least if it showed some sign of connectivity I would have a glimmer of hope, but I have nothing to go on if I can't even try to access the device.

SIGH.

Thanks,

iPod Nano 1st Generation: Factory Reset iPod and now it wants me to restore it.

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:19:35 -0700

Hi all, I restored my IPod Nano 1st gen on iTunes on my windows computer, upon doing so the ‘Do not Disconnect’ screen was continuously showing up I closed ITunes and it said it recognised an IPod in recovery mode, and it came up with the default name ‘IPod’ instead of the custom name. The screen was still showing ‘Do not Disconnect’ so after doing a bit of quick googling I did a hard reset which bought up the Apple logo. Then a screen came up saying I needed to restore it via iTunes. Will doing so factory reset it? As when I do it originally it seemed to not do it and now I’m stuck with basically a bric until I can find out exactly what to do.

Cheers for the help!
