I have an iPod Nano 3G 4GB. Yesterday I was listening to it and turned it off normally and today morning when I connected it to my PC, it hanged. I am trying to restore it using iTunes but no use :(. Its still hanged. How to restore it.

P.S. :- I know iPod sucks but my dad bought it for me :|.
 
try pressing the center button and Menu button together for more than 6 seconds.

it should restore automatically.

by the way i too own and ipod nano 3g 4GB ..and IMO it doesnt suck .:p

it's a really innovative piece of technology and is really good when it comes to user interface and ease of use.(other than sticking to tunes-that sux )

yeah i am aware that there a lot better players available in the market from cowon etc. which sound a lot better but overall i guess ipod aint that bad.

anyways thats not your problem .let us know if you are able to restore the ipod.

incase ipods getting detected as a mass storage device in windows .you can just format it .

it should restore the firmware\system files automatically as it is not stored in the main flash memory.

hope it helps.
 
Thanks. I am trying it. I said it sux because this is the third time it hanged like this and this time I cant even restore it.

hmmm i see the reason it hangs so often is maybe you are on avery old firmware. try updating the firmware.

latest firmware for ipod nano 3g- 4gb is 1.1.3

you might be knowing this-

you can check your current firmware in itunes after connecting the ipod to the PC.

or else check the version in the about section of ipod settings(in the ipod).
 
@paranj- Why would you say Ipod sux? Its one of the best damn thing on this planet.. :X

I guess if nothing works out for ya then you will have to take it to service center.
