Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?

*The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
"Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.

I have iPod Nano 4Gen 8 GB and I want to install Hebrew support for him. This is possible? This is exist?
Thank you all.

Probably not, but the latest version does have Hebrew:

Persian (farsi) language support for Ipod nano 5G.

I could find the Arabic language support but no Persian (Farsi) support. I am wondering why Apple still does not support this language.
Also I wanted to know if there is any way that we could translate the English to Persian and add into our Ipod nano ourselves.

Apple tells everyone what languages it supports in the tech specs for its products:

If you are talking about the user interface, the answer is no.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

ITunes for iPod Nano 5th generation

Hi
I have a iPod Nano 5th generation with the click wheel and no touch. When I search iTunes fro Apps & Games, I find only for iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone. How do I search only for iPod Nano 5th generation click wheel games

Mouse over App Store. You'll see a arrow pointing down. Click it and on bottom of list is iPod click wheel games. Click it and your there...
Too Bad we still have to pay so much for these old games. I think Apple should just release them as freeware...

Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?

Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?
I wanted to add in my Christmas playlists and most recent purchases, when it wouldn't get past syncing the second song a couple of times, I tried restore and lost everything because it still wouldn't sync. Then I tried to sync to my old computer which isn't itunes 11, and doesn't have my latest songs on it. My ipod did sync then though, so it seems to be a conflict between my version of ipod nano and the latest version of iTunes??????
Has anyone had the same problem? is there a solution??

How do I find games for ipod nano 3rd generation

I cannot find games for iPod nano in iTunes even though all the support keeps telling me to select iPod nano from the Source list. There is no source list, no games tab, nothing that leads me to the iPod nano games. When I click on apps, and just go to a game, they are all just for iphones, ipads or ipod touches. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

I believe that a few really low quality iPod games were distributed as freeware a long time ago, however you're much more likely to find malware infested web sites than any genuine source if you go hunting for them, and you'll still be disapointed with what you find. If you want games get an iPod touch.

How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.

What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

There isn't one. You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings. There is no other way.
