Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Seat the iPod nano properly in the Dock. A firm connection is needed for the iPod nano to transmit its data to the external speakers.
-
Step 2
Check the external speaker connection when you are running the iPod nano from the Dock. When the unit is not playing, the sound may not be reaching the speakers. Also make sure the external speakers are powered up.
-
Step 3
Press the “Play/Pause” button to disable the pause setting. It is very easy to accidentally hit pause without realizing it.
-
Step 4
Look at the volume level. If it is too low, turn it up. The volume control may have had a lock set, which limits how loud you can turn up the volume on the iPod nano.
-
Step 5
Press the headphone jack firmly in the connector. A loose connection here can interfere with the transmission of sound.
-
Step 6
Make sure the “Hold” switch is not set to the ”Hold” setting. The “Hold” button prevents you or anyone else from using the controls of the iPod nano.
-
Step 7
Check the song formatting. iPod nano supports AAC, Apple Lossless, MP3, WAV, AA and AIFF formats.

on 3/13/2009 I have an Ipod Nano 3rd Gen. All of the sudden none of the buttons will work. The screen lights up but thats all. The battery is fully charged and I have done the 5 r's on the apple website and even did a complete restore to factory settings. Nothing works. Anything else I can try or is my ipod toast?Thanks!
