How do i fix my 'ipod nano clone'
 

Guys, I got an issue.
My dads 'mypod-nano' (2gig) was shutting off after the 63rd mp3. So, I started small and deleted the 64th file, no luck. It just shuts down at the 62nd file this time.
This went back and forth longer than I'd care to admit.
Then I decided to wipe out everything and start fresh. Only instead of deleting whats in the folders, I deleted the folders, themselves (whoops).
Now the darn thing won't even let me put in new folders.
The firmware, as I remember, is 9.0.48. But I'll have to check again when I get home, then I'll confirm with you guys.
So, What do you think? Theres got to be a way out of this one, huh?
Thanx guys, let me know.

oebaca,

I had similar issues. A few days ago I bought a Nano clone off of eBay that was supposed to 8GB. Turns out that it kept corrupting my files and rebooting when it would get to certain files.

What I have learned is that the memory on the device was compressed to show 8GB capacity, but that its real capacity is only 1GB. The device was very unstable until I followed the instructions in a guide I found on this forum.

Here is the thread:

After I followed all the steps I now have the actual storage space to use for files. The device is no longer unstable. I don't have the advertised space I thought I was buying but at least the device is usable now.

Good luck to you. I hope the formatting guide helps your issue.

thanx for the tip, do you think this will put back the folders for music and videos back into the player so i can add files?
thanx again

oebaca,

Generally the folders don't do much but to organise the file types. After formatting, the firmware will always be within the player so that's not lost. Put your music files into the root directory of your player and it should play find.

Let me know if otherwise.
Hope that helps.
