I have the same problem with a Nano 2g bought maybe around 10/06. Very annoying! Anyone heard of a fix?

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.

Each time you have returned your son's Nano for a replacement you begin a new one-year warranty period from that date of replacement - not from the original date of your first purchase, so it is probably still in warranty. I admire your patience. After three returns I'm sure I would have given up and asked for my money. I am having "freezing up" issues with the new 3rd generation Nano. I took it back today and received a replacement. In the store, they said they have never heard of such problems with the 2g or the new 3g nano. I suppose they have to say that. Personally, I will only give it a second chance.

Yes, mine freezes right after syncing - then after hard reset, its ok till next sync. complete BS. I'm curious when you bought yours? I also have a gen 1 nano which never does this. They pumped the gen 2's out prematurely for xmas 2006 with some serious bugs - looks like.Its obviously a hardware problem - software(firmware) won't fix this or it would have happened by now through updates.My plan is to keep requesting replacements (i'm on my second) from apple to keep the warranty active. It will be fixed eventually.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

Thanks everyone - had an hour's panic back there and it was good to read that the problem (freeze) was not mine alone ... like you folks, had to reset to solve the problem.

I am experiencing the same problem with 4Gb Blue Nano, which freezes pretty much once a day, usually happens while accessing a song or audiobook immediately after syncing. Does not happen every time, though - seems to happen when I am too fast to push the play button without waiting for the previous menu to fully appear. This is very annoying, as my old iPod Mini NEVER did that.

My 2Gb nano that is just a few weeks old also freezes up. I had just synched it not that I think about it. I've had it freeze about two other times but when I did the reset it worked ok. This time, it will not even reset. I guess I have to let the battery run down because it is frozen with the screen fully lit up. I loved my last iPod but swore I would not buy another one because of the problems with the 20 Gb HD. I got another one because I thought with the flash memory I would not have as many problems. Rats.

I have had the same problem since owning mine since 6/3/2007. After each time that I recharge/sync it the Nano will freeze, requiring a reset to get it working again. After that it will work fine each time I turn it on up until recharging/resyncing it again. This is rather annoying considering that I just upgraded from a 1st gen 2GB Nano to a 4GB 2nd gen.

It froze on you. You have to press both center and up arrow buttons together and hold for about 10-12 seconds. Once done, it will reset and work fine afterward. Hope this helps you, and that you still have the ipod.

Yes, happened to my FIRST E260 that I got, locked up until the batteries died completely then worked like a champ......I still returned it for a new one though (that was after a week of owning it), ever since then, no problems whatsoever until I tried to manipulate the title of a folder already on the Sansa......no no no, don't try to change the titles of folders that are already synched on the little guy......bad juju. I updated my firmware/software 3 days ago, and it was the best thing I've done with this yet: It gave me 3 new options for the Equalizer (all bass, all treble, and Custom). I adjusted the EQ manually and it sounds just as good as any of the Ipods I looked at prior to deciding on this baby. I would buy this anyday over an ipod, my Sopranos videos play on here, if you have the patience to wait for the software to convert a .wmv to an .avi otherwise, this MP3 player rules. Question: Does anyone use this to connect to a dock that is advertised to work with an Ipod? Does it work?

Had the same problem w/ the Sandisk Sansa 250, but only after the Sansa started freezing up. Ended up sending it back for a refund, after contacting Sandisk.

all iPod touch 2G comes with software 2+...so you couldn't have gotten 1.1...also when 3.0 comes pre-installed i think it will cost more too..

Hi im not exactly sure what your asking if you mean can you download songs from your Icloud account onto your Ipod nano yes you can but if the songs are not from icloud then you have to transfer them onto a Itunes account. Witch is easy to do then sync up your new ipod nano 2nd gen my personal favorite i have 5 of them. And drag the songs from your itunes account into your ipod nano its easy thanks and I hope this answered your question if have anymore feel free to email me at. dee.lindsay327@gmail.com and ill do my best to explain any further questions.

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

I have not had problems with my ipod nano or my nexus 4. It is important to note I rarely use them on anything other than my nano. I use them daily for that purpose and have logged hundreds of miles with zero issues. I would buy another of these in a heartbeat.

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

Mine worked grest for about a year and it started to freeze i got sick of it so i upgraded. I suggest you do the same.

isn't the new ipod nano tiny?... I wish I could help you out but I don't know what you're doing wrong. I do know that the monster icarplay wireless device isn't the most reliable or durable (in my personal experience). I hope that you can get it to work, sorry that I couldn't be of more help to you.

I personally returned mine after it froze ten minutes into playing around with the functions, and bought another player with the refund.If you haven't already, you should hold the reset button for ~10 seconds (as opposed to just pressing it) and see if that does anything, like commutergirl suggested.Also, maybe double-check to see that it was plugged in properly for charging? Sometimes USB ports can be weird.In any case, good luck! I hope it's just a temporary thing and that it works soon for you!

I haven't had any such problems... my only thoughts would be you do have it plugged in on the input side, not the output side. Bluetooth; it's not linked to another Bluetooth source. When I would grab ours if it was within range of say my daughters Ipod and still linked to that Ipod then I could not access it until we unlinked it. Hope this helps.

Did you try to update the firmware? My firmware version was very old out of the box, and the device keeps freezing and crashing and disconnecting. But after updated to the latest version, it works perfectly! �

Bought mine 11 months ago. From around the time of the firmware update of Dec 7th 2012 it has been abysmal - the usual connecting/retrying/initializing network. I've done all the factory reset ops to no avail, as well as the usual with the network. No other devices on my network have issues. Came back to Amazon to check the latest reviews and lo and behold - I see tons of new radios with the same issue. In one review you see Grace acknowledging a firmware issue - but I have to ask WhyTheF haven't they either 1) reverted back to the previous-good firmware version by global release, or 2) enabled users with problems to install the previous version via the USB slot. You can clearly see how many of these units were purchased for Christmas here and returned to Amazon as defective. According to Grace's comments in this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LDJTD7SEV60R/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004YI9NTS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful ===== I apologize for the frustration you are having. A recent software upgrade affected a small percentage of our customers. Unfortunately, our core software engineers are on holiday. They will be back on Monday and will work diligently to create a software upgrade for any customer who is experiencing this problem. ===== So I either waste time going through their support site and file a ticket, or hope that according to them the imminent release of good firmware will come. If you're having the connecting/initializing/retrying loop, rather than pulling your hair out thinking it's your network - consider if might be the bad firmware.
