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.

I've had trouble with my 20 GB iPod freezing up during running as well; when I called Tech Support, they told me that the problem was that the hard drive has a limited skip protection capability (+/- 20 minutes). Essentially, once I exceeded that buffer, the machine would shut down to protect the hard drive. I switched to the Shuffle and have had absolutely no trouble running with it (even used it on my first marathon!), once I got a neoprene cover to protect it from sweat. The Nano is flash-based like the Shuffle, rather than hard drive-based like the iPod, so it should be fine (though I haven't personally tested it yet).

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp

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.

You are not the only one...mine started freezing up right after it did some factory updates. Had to reboot it :(

D, I once spoke with someone at Palm. I had the same problem with my Palm Z22 freezing more that I thought was normal. The only suggestion they had was to do a soft reset on the back of the unit. He did not seem one bit worried about it freezing. I do that occasionally when it freezes and move on. Does this help? I am a bit puzzled with the date spilt you mention although. Sorry if what I had to say does not address your question. Good luck! Sue M. Alpine, Utah

I can't speak for the touch but here is what I came up with for the Nano (same symptom). I called Altec Lansing technical support (1-800-258-3288) and stated the problem with the 4th generation Nano not charging. The man I spoke with was aware of the problem and will ship a new unit to anyone calling in with the same issue. I am required to send my unit back to them and they will ship a new unit with a different pin configuration that will solve the problem. You are required to ship the unit with proof of purchase (copy of receipt) to the address they provide in Milford, PA. You will only be out the shipping charges to get it there. He mentioned that I should receive a new unit (Not Rebuilt) around 10 days after they receive mine. Hope this helps.

I have a 2nd generation Nano, a 3rd generation Nano Shuffle and now a 6th generation Nano. I mostly use them for exercise and the 3rd generation is absolutely the best of all. It's the easiest to use because the controls are on the headphones so you can change songs with a press of the button. Because it's so compact, I can clip it to my clothing so I barely realize I have it on. The 2nd generation with the trackwheel can be a pain to exercise with. I haven't used the 6th generation Nano enough to really comment yet.

YOU ARE CORRECT!!! Your response prompted me to update my firmware and give it a go. I admit I have been lazy and was going on my expierience with a 2GB Sansa e200 that pooped out on me a while back. The new firmware in my e280 View does fully integrate the card although one does have to wait longer for the boot up. I only used a 2GB card in the e280 and don't know if it will take a larger one. At this point I will likely get a Fuse 8GB with the 8GB expansion and just get additional chips to switch out as needed. I still don't like the disposable nature of non-replacable batteries but then, I haven't seen a reasonable alternative that had replacable batteries. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP YOU ARE CORRECT!!!

Well,ds s what i did,i order a 2nd gen lcd screen 4 my ipod 3g because i did some research before i order it & it seems dat if i had order d lcd screen 4 a 3rd gen wouldn't work right,so i did order d 2nd gen lcd screen & m having a few problems with it,but at least s working 4 d most part so m not complaining,it was my first time doing it,& before dat d ipod wouldn't wok it all... ( d power button doesn't work & sometimes d screen doesn't react as fast as i touch on it,i guess s cuz of d 3rd gen ipod having a 2nd gen screen) it was my fault anyways :) thanks for caring.

I have looked everywhere as I got my 14 year old the Nano 16 gb- best I can figure out there are allot of subtypes of the IH9BR - it was very confusing- and it is next to impossible to figure out if this one will fully support NANO 16gb. IHOME and Apple have them on their site with some info- I may just wait a few months to get her a dock (Birthday) as I think think they are still trying to get rid of some older models not compatible with the NANO 4th generaiton and it is buyer beware....If anyone else finds out about this I would be interested,

Tough one. If the nano works, the dock works. I'd suggest the issue is not with the dock, but with your ipods. Do you have anyone nearby that has one you could try? That would prove it one way or the other.

I had it 3.5 hours before it froze on me. Wouldn't ever get past the SANSA logo screen after that. I would not recommend you get another of any of the M200 series at all. The discussions on them are the same as here. The M240 is filled with more like this. It's a bug in the production process or something. I wonder how many have had the same problem but not posted or given a review?
