Hey all,
I have a 4th gen iPod Nano 8GB, and I've recently run into trouble with it. Whenever I plug the iPod into my Mac, I see the Apple logo as if it is booting up. After the Apple Logo, the iPod shows the normal usage screen, but then the screen goes blank. I then get the message from iTunes that it is "waiting for iPod" and eventually it reports that the iPod is in recovery mode.
However, whenever I try to restore the iPod, I notice a couple of things. First, in the iTunes window, next to the Restore button, the iPod is reported as having 0KB of storage. Second, when I run the restore, iTunes gets stuck on "restoring iPod."
I checked the Console.app, and it reports that iTunes "failed to get ECID from DFU device" and that "proxy returned empty ECID."
The iPod does not show up in Disk Utility or in Finder. I've updated to the latest version of iTunes, and I'm running the latest version of Lion.
Since iTunes can't find the ECID, and it is reporting zero storage, does it mean the iPod is fried, or is the firmware somehow corrupt?
