Is a Nano supposed to work while plugged in to my computer?

1 Answer

Answer :

hmmm, my iphone works as long as it’s not syncing… I’m pretty sure nano’s should be the same. if you haven’t already I’d check out apples support forums and see if they have anything. you can also try cycling your nano to see if that solves it… can’t tell you how many problems a hard reboot has cured.
