I have a white 1st generation iPod nano, and it's been great so far. This morning, though, I woke up and discovered it had been running all night, and it had a blank screen. I figured the battery was uber-low, so I connected it to the computer. It showed the "Battery Extremely Low. Do Not Disconnect." screen, and I was glad. But after about 5 minutes of this, it showed the apple logo without a background light. Then it lit up. Then my iPod shut off altogether. And the cycle started over again (logo, light up, shut off). I've tried resetting, connected AND disconnected (didn't work), switching it to another USB port (didn't work), switching it to a different computer (didn't work), resetting while it was connected to THAT computer (didn't work), relaunching iTunes, and restarting the computer. Nothing seems to work! The iPod doesn't realize it's connected (most of the time), and the computer never realizes my iPod's connected. Help me! I've looked everywhere!

I noticed I had already tried many of your suggestions, but then I realized that one of them was to hold down the center and play/pause button, not menu. I gave it a shot, and my iPod went into disk mode. I hooked it up, synced it, updated my iPod software, and then it was back to cycling. Turns on, backlight turns on, turns off. I pressed the center and play/pause button AGAIN and connected it, and so far it's syncing and just says "do not disconnect" with a black & white non-lit screen. I have a couple questions now. Will it get itself out of disk mode? If not, how do I get it out of disk mode? Also, has this solved my problem?

This had exceeded off to me in the previous; carry down the Menu button and the middle button (the middle circle.. the ok button.. in spite of you comprehend it as) on an identical time with one hand. once you're doing this, save flipping the carry change decrease backward and forward. After a whilst, a black demonstrate screen might desire to apear with an apple on it. Press okay to go out this demonstrate screen. good success! :)

just let it keep resetting, mine does that when it runs low on battery, leave it at the computer fo awile, mine usually takes over an hour, then disconnect it and see what happens.

My Ipod did that once. and then i realized it was very cold, so i put it near the heater for 20 minutes, and it warmed up, and it was as good as new. are you sure you plugged it in correctly? maybe your wire is cut somewhere
