No sound on Nano 3G

I just got a new Nano 3G a few days ago. Today I got no sound when I hooked the nano up to my cassette adapter. Hmmm. So I tried it at work with my headphones. No sound. Well I read a post here that says to press the center and menu buttons together. Yay! That worked. I wonder what was going on.

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Sound in nano not functioning properly...

If I wiggle the rca jack to my speakers a bit in the nano the sound will fade from stereo to just the left speaker back to stereo. Is anyone else having this problem?
-Keith

I have a similar issue - the sound level is 4 times higher in the left ear - I checked back with itunes and did not record this out of balance. Maybe a problem with the machine

No sound on nano?

my nano appears to be playing but no sound comes out of the earphones. the volume control has no effect. have turned the nano on and off. checked the connection of the earphones. still no sound coming out.

This is going to sound dumb, but have you tried those same tracks on your computer? The songs themselves may be corrupt somehow. Maybe you could re-encode them and see what happens?

Sound on Nano 4G turned to lowest but still audible

I was on the train commuting to work this morning.
I turned the volume to zero on my 1 day old Silver 4G Nano, to hear the Rail company's latest excuse and I couldn't hear because the sound level of my Ipod was still audible.
I noticed that when you got to less than 5 % of the volume the level doesn't go any lower.
Is this normal?
My old Ipod when turned to the lowest volume was inaudible. Why the change?

I have been searching for an alternative solution for this issue for the past few days now.
I contacted apple support and the tech that I spoke with didn’t understand what I was saying.
“When I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear music”. All together this is what I went through with apple tech support -
Issue: Volume won’t turn all the way down
Product: Nano 4th gen 16gb - 1.0.2 PC (Up to date)
Itunes Version: 8.0.1 (Up to date)
Analysis:
- Software reset IPod – Didn’t fix issue
- Hard reset iPod – Didn’t fix issue
- Restored iPod from iTunes – Didn’t fix issue
- Backed up library
- Uninstalled / Reinstalled iTunes
- Restored library– Didn’t fix issue
- Set up product exchange
- Tested new iPod– Didn’t fix issue
Resolution: This is a feature of all the iPods with the exception of the shuffle so you know the iPod is still on. If you want the volume turned all the way down then just pause the iPod.
My thoughts – This is crap. Is this is a “known feature” why would I have spent so much time trying to resolve the issue? I was without my iPod for about a week because I had to send it back and had to wait for a new one to come in. I have spent a number of hours with support trying to fix the problem and it’s a known feature?
I don’t like having the volume so loud at the lowest possible volume that my iPod can go. Don’t get me wrong, the volume isn’t terribly loud, about 5% or so, but at night with no other noise around I would consider it to be distracting. The last support agent that I spoke with recommended purchasing an inline volume control. What?
After all that I’m just irritated. I love my iPod, I love the screen, I use my iPod every day. I don’t want to get rid of it, I’m just frustrated that the volume at “level 1” is as loud as it is.
Apple... Please, please fix this.

TS2354 Tinny sound in Nano 5

I suddenly got very tinny sound in car radio from Nano 5, only use it in car and always worked before. I reset twice and nothing changed. I had it attached to my laptop before the tinny sound, but no real idea of why it started this sound. Checked other posts and no real help there either.

This has nothing to do with MacBook Pro (so, it should have better been posted here), but first you should check the Equalizer settings in the Nano. Any funky settings there?

No sound from nano in dock or car

Hi guys, I need some advice.
I bought a 7th gen iPod nano for my wife to use in her car but I can't get any sound from it when it's plugged in (head unit shows display artwork etc and nano seems to be playing but no audio) Tried it on my Bose soundock 2 through a 30 pin to lightning connector, no sound. Soundock and her car play my classic perfectly. Tried the nano in my Fiesta Sportvan through the connector and my regular wire in the factory USB, played perfectly so no problem with the nano or the connector.
So my question is why will it play there ok but not in my Bose or in her focus which has a pioneer AVIC-F950DAB head unit with 30pin connector?
This has me stumped so any ideas would be appreciated. I have tried the standard resets etc with no luck.
Thanks

Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit?

All update notices will be seen on your computer as soon as you hook up your iPod to it.

No sound from Nano

Okay, so earlier today I was at my church, and I tried to plug my iPod Nano (second generation) into the sound board there, just to play it out loud. I did not think it would hurt my iPod.
Whenever I would try to play it, all it would make is static. I unplugged it and plugged my headphones back in, and no sound is coming out. I plugged my headphones into my computer and the sound came out perfectly, so I know the problem is coming from the iPod.
I was wondering if you guys had a way to fix it? I'm thinking about just sending it in to the Apple Support and having them fix it. I have tried restoring, but no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the iPod is the problem. You could try a Restore, but I have a feeling it won't help.
Check this out:
iPod Service Request
Or you could take it to an Apple Store, see what they have to say.
I hope this helps!

Video conversion loses sound to nano

I import a Quicktime video into My Library and play it back (has sound) but then I convert and send it to my iPod and play it back (NO SOUND).
What could be doing this or am I doing it wrong, settings or so.

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay this does work.
Designed to convert just about every video format to iPod Video (WITH AUDIO)
The only thing that *** is that when you see the thumbnail on your iPod, it looks garbled but IT DOES PLAY BACK PROPERLY WITH AUDIO.

These guys even have a DVD to MP3 Converter - pulling the audio from a .vob file to MP3.
These dudes rock.
Now why doesn't Apple sort this out, that is my issue in the end.

Reason for buying zen microphoto over ipod n

Zen Microphoto screen have 262k of colours and ipod nano have 65k</LI>
The headphone jack problem which affected zen micro did not affect zen microphoto</LI>
the sound sounds good too buy too make it sound good you must change the headphone </LI>
It is cheaper then Ipod nano for the same size</LI>

"Zen Microphoto screen have 262k of colours and ipod nano have 65k"
ok
"The headphone jack problem which affected zen micro did not affect zen microphoto"
This has to do with Ipod Nano how? Check your subject line.
"the sound sounds good too buy too make it sound good you must change the headphone "
Errr.... In order to make anything sound good, you need better headphones! All mp3 players come with cheap headphones......
"It is cheaper then Ipod nano for the same size"
They cost the same and the nano is smaller. In fact, if you count the $99 2 gig, the Nano costs less.
Please, this is a discussion forum about Creative, don't bring Ipod bashing into it. If you really want to bring up the better qualities of the Micro Photo, do it right, like this:
. Better sound, the Nano seriously sounds like crap.
2. Better screen, somewhat...
3. Bigger storage space.
4. $249 for twice as much space.
Now discuss. Just do it in a fair way and not one that bashes everyone and everything... :X

HT3310 i have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do?.. I am using the original headset eversince. I took it to an Apple Mac Center I was told they can't do anythin

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

5g nano no longer plays sound through (any) dock!?

I recently got a brand new dock, and it is, without a doubt compatible, with the 5G nano.
It played out loud through the dock with no problems for a few weeks, but it suddenly stopped transferring the sound through to the dock the other day, and instead, now, it just plays through the external speaker on the actual iPod. I tried it through my friend's dock too, and the same thing happened.
This is all to do with the internal connection, because when it first happened, I found that if i wiggled it around in the dock and held it at a certain angle, it played. However, that only lasted a few minutes and then it just stopped playing through the dock altogether.
It's strange because it connects to the computer fine through the exact same slot, and I can transfer music fine.
Saying that...on the day ot happened, the song I had just transferred from the comp onto the iPod magically disappeared from the device. That was weird. So I had to put it on again. And it definately went on the first time; I saw it in the playlist.
Anyway, all I can think of is that I have 'dislodged' something inside the iPod when connecting it into to the dock, or i've 'pushed something out of place internally' maybe...because I have not been using the dock adaptor (the iPod doesn't fit inside the adaptor because it has a plastic case over it). So maybe i've pushed it too far down into the dock slot or something?
Can anyone tell me if they've had this problem too?
Or if so, how much would this kind of thing cost to get repaired? Or have I mucked it up so bad I may as well give up now and get a new one (unless I never want to use a dock again)?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!
