Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation.  It has worked fine up until about a week ago.  It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome.  Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

    No.  The 4G Nano does not have an external speaker.

  • HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

    I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

    Install that and let me know the result!

  • I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

    I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

    Yes. get a computer with iTune 10.5 and:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other stuff using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.  Most are good for music.  It is harder to find one for other stuff like synced photos.
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as neccessary.

  • IPod Nano Sync with Mac, but iPod formatted for Windows

    I finally changed to the Mac platform and all my iPods and iPhones were synced with a Windows based computer. While my iPhones were not a problem, my iPod Nano (4GB 2nd generation) seemed not be recognized by my iMac.
    I can't seem to get my iMac to show the iPod under Devices to reformat it. Anyone have any advice to give?
    I have plugged it in to a my Windows based work laptop and it seems to work fine. However I don't sync with that machine and I have already sold my old Windows based computer it was synced to.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I have three iPods: 40GB iPod photo, 2GB black iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle. Each one has it's own playlist to auto sync songs from (technically, the 40GB iPod is synchronized manually, but the other two have playlists to sync automatically from). They each have different names so iTunes knows they're each different. So, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping just two iPods separate with your Mac mini or iMac.

  • HELP!!!! Ipod nano synced with itunes but all purchased music do not play

    HELP, PLEASE HELP!!!
    I have two iPod nano's and both have the same issue. I can sync all of my music, single song whatever I like without any problems, however any music which I have purchased from Itures just skips on the nano when played back?
    I have done all of the other hints listed, including De-authorizing the PC, reset nano, restored the nano, exported libary/imported libary... you name it... still the misic I've paid for does not work
    I have just upgrade to iTunes 7, which all reports everything to be at the latest versions but still nothing works!
    Maybe a Sony or other MP3 player would have been the beter optoin for my kids at christmas after all!
    Please help!!

    The ipod is not a backup device.  the music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

    Hello and happy new year.
    I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
    However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
    So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey,
    Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
    To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
    Hope this helps,
    Ms D.

  • Nano works with PC but not car adapter or isounds??

    My nano (3rd gen) was working fine with PC, car adapter and isounds clock radio but now when I plug it in to the car lighter it stops responding. Also tried isounds clock radio which it's worked on before but now it stops responding to that also. It will charge and play when connected to my pc. Need help... Any thoughts??

    I have the same problem. I have a Monster FM Transmitter that worked just fine until the latest version of the the Ipod firmware now when I plug it in the backlight won't come on and it is stuck in pause. I have had the Monster FM transmitter replaced by Futureshop plus they tested the first one and it works just fine. The Ipod they tested it with had not had the firmware updated.

    I haven't used this iPod Nano with my G5 since it was new. Today I connected it, and it shows up on the desktop, but it doesn't appear in iTunes. I unmounted it and connected it again. each time I do that, it tells me it's detected a software update, but when I check, the dialog box tells me it's current.
    any help, please?

  • Ipod nano mounts on desktop but not in itunes

    A brand new ipod nano 4gb, ordered from the online Apple store & a christmas present to my wife, mounts on her powerbook G4 osx 10.3.9, but not in itunes 6.0.1. The latest ipod updater 05-11-17 is installed. I have restored the nano, removed iPodDriver.kext and downloaded and re-installed 10.3.9. Everything seems to work on my G5 which I used to restore the nano using ipod updater 05-11-17.
    What can I try next short of contacting Apple for a new ipod nano?
    1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 15" silver powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   512 MB DDR SDRAM

    OK, I restarted the powerbook with the ipod plugged into the computer. Previously I had been plugging the iPod into an active computer. And lo and behold it is now recognized by iTunes. I'm not marking the Question as answered, because it may not work next time.

  • SWF plays in preview but not when published

    I have seen similar issues posted but none dealing with this
    precise problem. I have two SWFs, one of which loads at the end of
    the other. When SWF 1 is played back in Flash or when published in
    HTML format, SWF2 plays as is should. When SWF is exported to
    another program (e.g. Frontpage or Ektron, CMS), SWF2 will not
    play. Interestingly, when SWF2 is exported to the other program on
    its own, it plays fine so font support is not an issue.
    I have also tried altering the level in the LoadMovieNum
    script (0, 1, 2) as well as republishing both SWFs from the
    original FLA file. So far zippo.
    Any ideas??

    At least on my side it only plays the first video and does not progress.  There are twenty-five videos after this, they are all very short  but they progress.   Is this progressing for you?  Perhaps it is my computer if so. Please let me know.
    Thanks again,
    Mark.

  • Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

    Encore CS6.
    Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

    Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
    Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test.  There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk.  The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work.  (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
    Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

  • Siri works with headphones but not without headphones

    Ever since I installed iOS 7, Siri has not work through the microphone, only with the headphones.  I have checked everything.  The microphone works fine with the phone, but not with Siri.  This has to be a bug in iOS7. Cany anyone heklp with this issue.  If so please respond
    Thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Hey polofson,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Siri in relation to your microphone. On the iPhone 5, Siri utilizes both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera. You may want to make sure these are not blocked (commonly by third-party cases):
    iOS: Troubleshooting Siri
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
    Ensure that Siri can clearly hear you
    If Siri is unable to clearly understand what you are saying, make sure your microphones are not blocked.
    iPhone 4s
    Verify that the bottom microphone, located to the left of the dock connector, is not blocked.
    iPhone 5
    Verify that both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera are not blocked.
    iPod touch (5th generation)
    Verify that the mic near the rear camera is not blocked.
    iPad (3rd generation)
    Verify that the mic at the top center, above the FaceTime camera, is not blocked.
    All models
    - If you are using a protective case, try removing it.
    - Try turning your device off and then on again.
    Thanks,
