iPod Issues with iTunes 7.7.1 and iPod Nano?

[FLKat]

Hi All,

Hopefully someone here has some clue as to how I can fix this.

I upgraded to iTunes 7.7.1 this morning and now I'm having issues with my 2nd gen Nano. I docked the iPod and iTunes opened did a sync, however, the screen on the nano never lit up. Not even the "do not disconnect" screen.

iTunes finished it's sync and i disconnected the iPod. But now when I try to turn it on all I get is a BLANK screen. No menu, no play list... nothing. Then it just turns off.

I did a reset of the ipod, got the apple logo, and after a mintue or so everything was back to normal. However, if the iPod shuts off... I get the blank screen all over again when I try to turn it back on. It has a full battery and was working/docked/synced just fine yesterday PRIOR to 7.7.1.

Any ideas what is causing this? I'm pretty tech savvy but this one has me stumped.

Oh yea, forgot to mention that my iPhone has no issues with 7.7.1, only the Nano.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, my gen 1 nano is working fine with 771.

You should try an earlier version of iTunes, it could be your nano.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to avoid having to downgrade iTunes. I'm very careful with my nano and I've never had a problem with it until today. I don't even use it that much because I have my iPhone as well as another iPod.

I docked it using 7.7 yesterday and it was working just fine. After installing 7.7.1 today is when the problem started. If I reset it (toggle hold, menu + select) everything is cool too. Screen comes up and I can play anything. But once it shuts off it goes right back to a blank screen. I shouldn't have to keep resetting it for it to turn on.

I just tried to do a restore back to factory settings as well and the same thing happens. It restores, everything plays and is visible. But yet again once it powers off and I try to turn it back on... blank, blank, blank.

Anyone know why the screen is blank when it powers up, but seems to work fine after are reset/restore?

Is there a link for the previous version? 7.7.0?
