i-pod nano 2GB
Bought my daughter one in November at Singapore airport for Christmas.
Worked for 2 days and is no more! Dead as a dodo!
Paid cash, lost receipt.
Apple will only repair if I can show a copy of a receipt.
By any chance, did anyone buy the same from Singapore airport Oct - Dec 2005? Would anyone have a receipt that they could fax/scan and send to me?
(I have emailed the shops in Changi airport and asked them - awaiting reply)
Bloody thing.

Toggle hold on.
Toggle hold off.
Hold down the menu and middle button for a few seconds.
The iPod nano should then “reboot” and voila!
Most freeze ups and then dead ipods are due to incorrectly unplugging a usb/firewire cable. Just so you know.
Good luck.

Also, to charge, your laptop actually has to be open - it will not charge while computer is in sleep mode. Mine is very temperamental,but a reboot fixed it too !

Re: i-pod nano 2GB
Thanks all.
Still no joy.
Already trawled the apple site and done everything suggested
Googles "ipod wont charge" and seems to be a common problem.
PS: I paid cash
Of course the unit is less than a year old so that hsould be OK but I suppose Apple want proof that I never stole it - maybe.
I have tried my lap top as well as PC.
Reboot does nothing.
Even charging directly with power socket via USB cable, get the "charging" picture but evan after 24 hours, as soon as cable is unplugged "not enough battery power - connect to power source" then turns off.
Connect to USB - PC doesnt recognise anymore and does not charge. Between my "new" PC and lap top, I have 10 USB ports that work fine with any other devices I have. The ipod doesnt work with any of them.
I will send it to Apple without proof ofpurchase and see how far I get.
Thanks all.

go into the apple website in the forum section im quite sure you will find an answer to your problem. just wondering is it charged ? & see if you can reset it as someone has described for you above. have had mine since they were released without a problem aswell. on a different note its cheaper to buy the 4gb ie comparing the price difference vs the space you get 4gb/2gb.
i guess its all to do with personal choice
