Ipod Nano - Movies and Wheel Questions

1. I just purchased the 16GB Ipod Nano and within two weeks the wheel stopped working. I reset the software via iTunes and also by holding down the menu and select button. Nothing worked. Now I'm waiting for a replacement from the store as they were out of stock.
Is this a common item and if so any idea on how to fix it?
2. I'd like to watch movies from my PC to my TV. However, I don't have a newer TV with an RGB connection and don't want to pay the $100 or so for the converter box. What I'm going to do is purchase either the Component AV Cable or the Composite AV Cable. In my current TV, I only have the Video and L/R audio so unless I can convert Component to Composite, my only real choice is the Composite for my current TV.
I'm looking at a new TV which does have both Component and Composite jacks. I was wondering when watching a movie from the Ipod Nano does it make that much of a difference between the Component and Composite cables? Since my new TV will also have and RGB connection, I'll be able to connect my computer directly.
However, in the interim if I want to watch movies the only choice I have is the Composite cables. I just don't want to spend $50 now and $50 in the next six months. Granted the Composite also gives more flexibility to use on other older TVS.
Based on the output from the Nano, is the Component cable that much better?
Thanks
Shawn

I entered this question into the incorrect forum. Is it possible to move this question to the Ipod forums without asking the same question twice?

  • Ipod Nano 5G and Itunes 10

    I have ipod nano 5g and i have itunes 10 but when i open itunes nd appsore i dont see any ipod nano 5g(so to click wheel games ) and other stuff specific to 5g.
    A simple filter in itunes store for the apple device a person using is a bit of common sense which apple seems to lack(not just for iphone/ipad).
    : PS : I am located in India.
    the store designed in no way to be user friendly and more cluttered than organized for an application for a company like apple

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    You can still buy iPod Nano 1G accesories (Go to Apple Store > iPod Accessories > Previous Models > iPod Nano ). Of course the vast majority of accesories will work on both 1G and 2G Nanos. There is just half a millimetre difference in thickness of the Nano and the dock connector/ headphones are nearly in the same place it's only a few cases that won't work.
    Yes you can buy cheaper products elsewhere. However, my experience of Apple gear over the last 15 years is that it lasts longer and performs better.

  • Formatted my new iPod Nano 4Gb and my application can't find the Device ID

    Hi,
    Just bought a new Nano 4Gb, updated it to 2006-06-28 (1.2) and of course it couldn't be recognized by Windows after that. Followed the instruction and formatted the Nano and made a Restore, worked fine!
    Now to my problem, when using my application Anapod Explorer (from www.redchairsoftware.com) it can connect to the Nano but it says the iPod don't have any Device ID so it can't authenticate to the iPod...
    Anyone more who is using this superb software?
    It seems like if some information is missing in the iPod after the formatting of it...
    Please advice!
    Best Regards

    Additional Information:
    Since some information seems to be missing on my iPod Nano 4Gb I compared the files with my iPod Video 60Gb.
    Comparing the directories: [driveletter]:\iPod_Control\Device
    on my iPod Nano 4Gb and my iPod Video 60Gb
    iPod Nano 4Gb:
    The file SysInfo is empty, containing no data when opened in Notepad.
    iPod Video 60Gb:
    The file SysInfo is of 1KB and another file named "_unlocked" is present.
    The information in the SysInfo file is:
    BoardHwName: iPod M25
    pszSerialNumber: JQ6040HFTXL

    I have done the diagnstic test on the Nano and there are no errors and the iPod Nano is functional but I can only use iTunes to load it with music, I can't use the wonderful Anapod Explorer.
    Another thing:
    When connecting my iPod Video to my computer it shows up with a drive looking like an MP3 player, when connecting my iPod Nano it shows up looking like an ordinary disc drive.

  • Ipod nano 4gb and car audio

    Hi everyone, I've got an iPod Nano 4gb and am a little confused as to what is required to connect this device to my factory installed cd player. I drive a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab and have the basic factory audio system. I spoke with the dealership where I purchased the truck and they said that I need an interface and harness for $400 + labor. I don't think that is an option for me -- way too expensive.
    What exactly is need to connect my iPod Nano to my truck's audio system? Do I need to purchase a new audio device that supports the iPod?
    Thanks

    The following website will list different types of car audio devices made for iPods. I hope it lists something that may help you.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Try a hard reset first. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
    until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, 
    and then the Home screen.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
    Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks?  What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

    I dropped iPod nano (4g and 5g) in water...what do I do ?

    You should placed the soaked iPod in a sealed container of dry rice for about a week while changing out the rice daily.  Do NOT attempt to power it on before then.
    If you have already, there is a good chance it could have fried some of the iPod's internal components.

  • Bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

    bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

    The most likely problem is that the headset is not inserted fully. When you insert the headset, you should feel and hear a "Click" to let you know it is inserted all the way.
    The problem is that if it is not inserted all the way, the nano does not detect it. If it is not detected, it will pause playback when the screen goes dark. This is to keep your battery from draining when there is nothing connected to listen to the music.
