Hi - got a problem with a nano that I 'd appreciate help with

I plugged it into the usb on my imac but it doesn't show up as a device on itunes. The nano screen just flashes up the white apple logo for 3 seconds then fades to black for 3 seconds before repeating.

Checked with another ipod to eliminate imac, usb, itunes as being the problem source. It's definitely the nano. Tried to reset, but can't get a response other than the flashing screen sequence.

anyone come across this?

usb port is working, so this isn't the problem

I don't have a separate charger. if it's a charging problem wouldn't the usb charging route work as per normal?

lets recap what is happening here

we don't know if the ipod has enough charge
and a usb port can't charge nano's from dead
in my experience.

great post by Pulse 8 everything you need to do to get that nano going
but first get it charged by a wall socket charger - then i bet things start to look up always happens we've got four nano's at home.

then follow Pulse 8's thread

happy new year
kind regards

resuscitated and has a pulse again!

I'd tried the restart process previously but it hadn't let me in. This time it seemd to work - enter+menu followed by enter+play/pause. Took me into disk mode and then started to accept a charge from the usb. Reloaded library from itunes and seems to be working again

no doubt my son will find other ways to kill it!

thanks all
