iPod Nano 4th Generation: Why is it turning on by itself?

Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:21:37 -0700

So I accidentally dropped my ipod nano 4th gen in clean water but it only stayed there for about just 2 seconds because I quickly grabbed it back, it went for just about 1 feet under. I turned it off before putting it in a bag of rice. After 3 hours, I hastily grabbed my ipod back and I turned it on, it works fine, the screen is perfect, it can play songs, I could still connect it to computer...

But the problem is everytime I turn it off, it turns on by itself after 1-3mins. I also tried locking it after turning it off but it'll still turn on by itself, I basically have tried everything to fix it... It's never happened before I dropped it in water... I'm wondering if water really destroys ipod even if it went in the water for just 2 seconds???

-->Is my ipod damaged already?

-->Should I wait for about a week to a month to see if it will return back to normal?

iPod Nano 4th Generation: Only works when plugged into a charger?

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 10:04:06 -0700

So this morning I was shaking my iPod for the shuffle to work. I guess I shook it too hard because it shut off and will only work if plugged into a charger. It works just fine and seems as if nothing is wrong, but once you unplug it it turns right off. It's done this once before, but it fixed right away. Not fixing this time. What would be the best thing to do?

iPod Nano 4th Generation: Why can't I delete songs off my iPod from iTunes?

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 08:13:37 -0700

Recently my iPod has been glitching so that I am unable to delete songs off it via iTunes. The same goes for videos, podcasts, and, strangely, playlists. I think that it’s happened before, but somehow fixed itself. I’ve tried unsyncing music because I usually just drag to load, but nothing works. I’ve also tried going to the menu bar at the top of the Mac screen but there’s no delete option. My iPod is in pretty good condition, and apart from this and one other thing that got resolved, I’ve had relatively little trouble with it. Is this my old computer, or my iPod, or something else?

iPod Nano 4th Generation: Where to find a spare click wheel?

Hello,

I ripped the click wheel flex cable while putting it back in, and I can't find any replacement part anywhere. There are parts for any ipod nano except the 4th gen :(

I found a listing on alibaba but the seller told me it was not in stock anymore.

Do you have any clue on where to find some of these? Thank you very much !

iPod Nano 4th Generation: Which apple iPod is best to buy?

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:00:42 -0700

Hii, i want to buy an old apple ipod. Ive decided on an ipod nano 4th gen or an older mode like the ipod classic, but im not sure which one to get, so i was wondering which one would be best in case i need to get it fixed in the future? For example if the battery wears out or something else inside it needs fixing, which one would have the best chance of surviving, since its going to be an old device. Thank you!

The battery backup is only 15 minutes. Where can I find replacement battery (original or third party)?

It’s a 350mah 3.7V Li-Po Battery (MPN:616-0407).

Can any battery with these specifications work for my iPod or I have to check its dimensions?

I live in India.
