Love the iPod Nano

Hate the negative comments on these forums. Can people use these forums to help / educate / share ideas / ask reasonable questions instead of bashing/complaining ?

I USED to love my Nano before it decided to die after 2 weeks of listening to it and it being in a $90 case to protect it and then the screen cracking when it isn't my fault, it is the faulty Nano's and my friend having the same problem then going through 3 Nanos and still they all break. But, this is a techincal forum and there will still be bashing and what not. I am not bashing the Nanos...but when they mean impossibly small, they mean impossibly fragile.

Is there a way to make the iPod Nano 7 run smoother?

I love the iPod Nano. It's great. I've had mine for something like two years now, and I love it. But lately it's been acting up. It connects to my docking station, but if you touch the iPod in anyway, it will immediately disconnect and stop playing music, even though it's still plugged in. Also, sometimes with earbuds, the music will fizzle, crack, or even stop completely. When used with other devices, the earbuds work fine. So, if you have any ideas on how to fix these problems, please let me know!

Does Creative have an answer to the iPod Nano? (or possibly a lawsuit for using that nam

Mini and Micro didn't clash as much as Zen Nano and iPod Nano do... Any lawsuits? Or can that not be possible for some reason?
Back to my main question: I know, I always seem to post about whether or not Creative is doing something that others are doing... but I love Creative's products and I want to see more from them. Better quality products, especially.
Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable (MuVo X-trainer and Slim are the only I can think of) and none of those in the US (for sale currently) are over 52MB. Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES! Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable.)
So is Creative going to release any 2 or 4 GB Flash based players any time soon? I prefer them... Especially after my unfortunate incident with my original Zen and Creative's pitiful American support (in Ohio or some place).
I want to replace my 52MB X-Trainer with a rechargable flash player with a larger capacity. I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. I'd really love it for $250 (apple's price for the iPod Nano). You might ask why I don't just get an iPod Nano (the black actually looks kind of neat, come to think of it.) I don't get one because I use Windows and I prefer WMA to MP3 and whatever AAC thing the iPod uses. Perhaps if I had a Mac and iTunes was the only choice for online music for my system... Then I'd definitely get an iPod. But with Windows, I'd prefer to just use one of the many online shops that sell WMAs.

"Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable "
When using a player that takes a AAA battery, just use a rechargeable AAA.
"Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES!"
Yes, however they aren't practical for many people since they aren't compatible with Yahoo's unlimited music service. Many people would rather get a Zen Micro or Sleek and pay $60 a year to Yahoo to fill up their player with music rather than pay over $,000 to Apple to fill up their 4 gig player with music at 99 cents a song. With the Yahoo service, one can also change the music in their player without additional cost.
"Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable."
With Creative's Nano and Nano Plus, one can use a rechargeable AAA battery. Rechargeable AAA batteries are great since most chargers can charge 4 at a time. Four nimh AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger can often be purchased for under $20.
With the ipod Nano, once the charge in the built in battery runs out, one can't listen to it until it is recharged. With the Creative Nano Plus, one just switches to another battery(remember I just mentioned how AAA nimh batteries can be conveniently charged 4 at a time?). Taking an ipod Nano on a long trip would be annoying. While the player is small, the notebook computer one would need to carry with it to recharge the player is quite large. I would much rather carry a few extra AAA batteries than a notebook computer(I as many others don't even own a notebook computer).
"I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. ."
I would also love to have one, but only if it is compatible with Yahoo Music Unlimited, uses a AA or AAA battery, and has a built in radio. That rules out Apple's players on three counts.

Whats better the ipod nano or Ipod video??

What are your views on the ipod nano and ipod video??

I'm horrified that Apple have released a video iPod and stuck a tiny 4:3 ratio screen on it. I know that 16:9 widescreen has only just appeared in the good old US of A, but as one of the countries at the forefront of Hi-Def TV (which has 16;9 widescreen images as standard) I am quite bemused - what are you going to watch; black and white re-runs of 'I love Lucy' - again. Or perhaps just even smaller letterboxed films, (special 1 inch high presentation of Star Wars Episode 3 ?) TV shows and pop promos? ( most of which are now shot 16:9 widescreen especially if they are sourced HD)
I hate to say this but buy yourself a nano for your music (Apple's music players still beat every other one out there) and get a PSP for watching films/videos !
Let the torrent of abuse begin....

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library". I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes. I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

Does the iPod nano have Bluetooth?

Hello,
I am looking at buying the latest iPod nano, I don't like the standard cable headphones, they get in the way, fall out, get tangled and get pulled out of your ears.
Does the latest model come with Bluetooth connectivity?
thank you.

Onechief:
i10s Bluetooth adapter ($45) - Since the iPod nano 6G doesn’t have Bluetooth, a dongle is your only option. While dozens of choices exist, the i10s BT adapter is the smallest of the lot. When you’re rocking the world’s smallest iPod, you don’t want a big horsey adapter jutting out of the side. At about two-thirds the size of Sony’s BT adapter, the i10s is the perfect fit. The i10s is zero-config and auto-pairs when it’s powered up.
Cheers.

Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

Does the ipod nano can record sounds?

Does the iPod nano can record sounds connecting "headphones with microphone"?

Hi uptight,
Yes, the iPod Nano does support MP4 files.
You can find more information about the files the iPod supports here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
You can convert many videos right from iTunes. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 will walk you through the process with sample files.

Does the Ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to headphones. Us older folks would like to use wireless headphones versus earphones with a wire.

Is the ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to wireless headphones. I am 57 and do not like earphones and wire. Would like to get the nano. I understand the iphone 4 can use wireless headphones, but i can not wear it on my wrist like a watch. Thank you. techie mawmaw.

What is your price range. I know exactly what you are talking about. I always used headphones while mowing and I used to runt he cord through my shirt to prevent it from getting caught on the steering controls of the mower but one day the cord came untucked form my pants pocket ripping the cord straight out of the headphone itself. They were nice Sennheisers to!
I ended up replacing them with these http://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-bluetooth-headset-headphone-smart-mobile-phone-stereo-mm-500-x they are pricey at 330 but will last you many years if they are taken care of. Sennheisers are excellent quality. Best Buy oddly doesnt carry the 500 series they have the 450 and 550 but not the 500. Completely ignore the Beats by Dr. Dre they are horrible for the price point they are!
The noise cancellation is great and they are very comfortable. Like you I dont care for earbuds as I have tried many and they all hurt my ears and on-ear style would eventually start hurting my outer ear but these are very comfy!

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.
