My new iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Help me my iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Which battery life are you referring to? Apple's website states the iPod Nano 6th Gen will get "up to 24 hours of music playback when fully charged". There are going to be a lot of things that can change that. Are you using the stopwatch or the count down timer a lot? Are you using the FM radio a lot? Any accessories that you are using with the iPod? These will all have an effect on your battery life.

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • New Ipod Nano, does not seem to charge

    Hello,
    I just bought IPOD NANO (4GB, gen2). The store guy told to drain the battery and then fully charge it. Well, I played some song and soon all the charge were gone.
    I had a LOGiiX wall charger for my old IPOD (20GB), and I wanted to use it to charge it. Initially there were no responds. Then I changed the cable (I wanted to use my old cable but it did not work, so I used the new one that came with Nano) and it started to charge. It got fully charged.
    Now after while of playing music I wanted to see what went wrong and wanted to charge again (it has been played for a while and so it should at least show me that its charging again, no?). But none of the cable worked with the wall charger (LOGiiX). The wall charger has a green light (LED) in it and it goes to red when its charges. But the green light stayed green and no charging in Nano.
    I tried with a computer, and it shows the symbol of "Fully Charged". But its not fully charged, I played couple of songs. Is there something wrong? Should I take it back to the store and exchange?
    thanks guys

    I don't know why the store guy told you that, it wasn't necessary (there's such a lot of rubbish talked about the iPod battery).
    See this : iPod battery doesn't charge.
    As it's so new, if nothing is helping you should consider getting it exchanged.
    For future reference, here's some essential reading on the iPod battery.

  • I bought a new iPod nano and cannot get the music synced

    I just purchased a new Ipod nano and registered it and upgraded the software. I cannot get the music library to sync.  My music is in the cloud. 
    any advice on what I am missing?

    Hey OBandPL,
    I would use the following article to run through the recommended syncing steps one more time:

  • My new ipod nano does not  work when you turn off the computer

    I bought a new iPod but I have a problem when you turn off the computer does not work. Shows that the battery is full and it was lightning. Ipod only works while connected to your computer. What should I do

    Hello pepi95,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you just bought the nano, why not bring it back for a replacement or your money back? It's definitely a defective iPod. Not much else for options here. Sorry.

  • IPod Nano does not get recognized as it should

    Hi
    I have got a problem that just popped up. The iPod itself works fine but I can not sync any longer.
    When I plug in my iPod Nano it does not open iTunes anymore and when I open iTunes it does not appear. It get recognized in Windows Explorer as a new drive but without the iPod name and when clicking on the drive it says that the disk is not formatted and ask if I would like to format now.
    I tried to changed drive from G to other as from one support page but without result
    I have tried the 5 R´s but I am unable to restore the unit as the iPod updater freezes when I open it and it tries to look for the iPod.
    My PC is with Windows 2000 and my iPod worked fine earlier.
    I have tried to connect the iPod to other PC´s but with the same result -- the iPod says "do not disconnect" and nothing happens more than that the battery get charged.
    I have tried to end the iPodservice.exe from the task manager but it fails saying "unable to terminate process, access is denied" This happend in all three PC´s
    The unit shows up when clicking on the Safe Hardware removal icon in USB as "Apple iPod USB device" but when trying to stop the device it says that the unit can not be stopped now...
    In my iPod I have checked and it is Format Windows
    What to do now???

    Ok I reply to myself if anyone intresetd in what happen in my case
    I have now been able to do the restore my iPod Nano using the hints in one of the questions below. So now the iPod is recognized by Windows Explorer but now by iTunes. At least some progress.
    What puzzles me ist that it seems that half teh world have teh same problem and Apples suggestion how to solve this does not work so where is Apple support?
    No more fromme, I will read and try every thing I can until I just take a hammer and make the life of the iPod shorter than expected. There are many MP3 players on teh market that works...

  • Ipod nano does not display the picture covers

    Hello, I have a 2nd generation nano. I used to "associate" a picture (the album cover) with the song files in itunes and they were displayed in the Nano.
    Suddenly the nano stopped to display the pics. I deleted all the songs and put them again and I reseted the nano and now even the old files are not displaying the pictures, although itunes displays them correctly.
    I hope I didn't mess too much with the explanation. sorry.
    Does anybody know how can I see the covers again?
    Thank you.

    If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
    "display album artwork on your iPod".
    Make sure it's still selected.

  • My new iPod Nano does not turn on. What should I do?

    My new iPod had been charging overnight but now will not turn on or register as a device on iTunes. What should I do about it?

    Do the reset. Press and hold on/off button until apple logo appears. Cheers!

  • IPod Nano - Usb not charging the battery/connecting

    OK, i got a 4gb Ipod nano, after i got my previous ipod replaced by apple (cracked screen), it worked at first but a couple of days after i let it decharge, put when i tryed to recharge it with my usb 2.0 cable, nothing happened at all, did not connect or charge at all, so i went to the local apple shop, and the guy there said something about usb not being able to "kick start" a flat battery, and i said i should buy a apple plug charge, so i bought a 3rd party one from ebay, and it did not work so.
    Then i bought a Firewire Cable and it did make me able to turn on the ipod (i can play music etc), but it did not charge at all, the instant i unpluged the cable it would turn off (the Firewire Card is a 6 pin card, and i bought a 3rd party firewire cable from ebay)
    Anyways i have no idea what's wrong with it, so any one have any suggestions?

    Hiya ladd,
    OK, I see a consistent problem here: 3rd party stuff from eBay *****. You might try spending a little extra to get the genuine Apple accessories so we can at least rule out the 3rd party stuff as part of the problem.

  • Setting up new user - user does not get the welcome email

    I have seen other people having this issue, but have not seen that there is/was a resolution.
    Has anybody found the answer?
    I set my new tech up in SW, it is supposed to send him an email so he can set his pw up and be able to start working.....that doesn't happen.  We have tried to disable the account and re-set it up, we have resent the email multiple times, all nothing.
    HELP PLEASE.

    You can’t. An alias is just a different e-mail address for the same mail account. If you don’t want that user to have access to your mail account, then you must set up a separate mail account for him/her, not an alias associated with your mail account...

  • TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • HT3215 Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
    Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

  • My new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.
