Problems with iPod Nano 6th Gen Playback & Updating

Hi. I have had a look and can't find another post on this - apologies if I have missed it!
My problems start before I purchased my new Nano 16GB last week.
When the last update of iTunes came available, I was unable to install it. The task bar would get to about 50% (although it varied) and would then time out. When I had this problem I tried everything from every forum imaginable, from deleting all Temp files, disabling the firewall and all start up applications and clearing the registry – everything. Nothing worked. Eventually I decided that I should uninstall, then install the new version.
After a week of the same problems trying to install iTunes, I gave up and downloaded on another computer, and saved the .exe file to a USB stick. This worked until two days after I downloaded it, yet another update came out and I had to start all over again (I didn’t – I am running on 10.1.2.17 still).
I was concerned when I purchased my new Nano that I would have problems connecting it to iTunes as I was not running the new version – but it was okay. Unfortunately, the iPod requires update 1.1 and I am also having the same problem with this – I get time out error 3259 after sometime trying to download it. And yes, I have tried all the same tricks, but nothing seems to work.
I am running Vista on a Dell PC, and connect to the internet on a pre-pay internet USB dongle. I can download updates for other programmes, and other files successfully – it is only iTunes that I am having an issue with. ITunes is added to my list of accepted programmes on my firewall, but I disable that when I am downloading.
Meanwhile! My new iPod is fantastic. Unfortunately I am experiencing an odd problem with it, and cannot seem to find other people with the same issue. The memory is not overloaded (it has 1.10GB of free space on it). I have 1857 tracks on it, and 14 podcasts. I play the music files through the ‘Songs’ menu, on Shuffle mode. For some reason, after playing one or two tracks, it doesn’t seem to want to play the next one. The track will be displayed on the screen, but it does not play. When you look at the song progress bar, it shows that it is part way through the song, but it is not moving. I have tried pressing ‘Pause’ followed by ‘Play’ and nothing happens.
The only way to get it to start playing again is to skip to the next track, but even this has its issues. Sometimes, when you skip forward a track, it plays a completely different track to the one that is displayed. When you look at the progress bar for the song it is showing, it isn’t moving, but music is still coming out!
Does anyone have any idea what the issue is, and how I can get the machine to play continuously without having to handle it several times? Please?!

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Two Problems with iPod Nano!

Hi Community!
As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
THX for helping me!
dynAdZ

Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

Problem with ipod nano updater

Hi.
I have the other problem with my ipod nano. I reset my software ipod nano, but ipod updater 2006-01-10 write:"iPod Updater 2006-01-10 cannot continue because there are other applications using iPod. Please close all iPod applications andtry again.". But I don´t using other applications, iTunes is closed. I try my iPod update on other computer, but text is same. Can you help me please?
iPod is correct only as external disk. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm on a Mac so things may not work the same. Have you tried restarting your computer? If you do that maybe nothing will be using it at first.
I hope someone who knows Windows will come to help you.
Regards,
Colin R.

Serious Problem With iPod Nano/iTunes...

Hello all.
2 Months ago, I upgraded from a Dell Dimension 2800 to a 5100. I was using an iPod Shuffle. Upon connecting the device to my new computer, it would come up with 'iTunes cannot recognize the iPod' and so on. When trying to Restore Factory Settings, the process could not be completed. The Shuffle ended up breaking and was replaced by Apple. It still doesn't work in my computer.
I now have an iPod Nano, although the same problem occurs. I have reformatted my hard-drive several times, and have tested just the iPod with nothing else on the computer. Still the same problems. My USB Drives work fine, and Mass Storage works fine before installing iTunes and the iPod software. I am guessing that the iPod has corrupted my USB Drivers or something like that. I have followed all the help topics - they do not work. Both the Shuffle and the Nano work on other computers.
I know several people who have the same problem. I would like to know if anyone else has the same problem, and has any idea how to solve it?

Problems with iPod Nano 2G after a rainy day

Yep comrades, sh*t happens.
Today it was a very rainy day and a friend of mine was cycling to the school comfortably with his iPod Nano.
<skip>
After coming to school, his iPod goes on but the display is completely white (background lights going perfectly) and it doesn't play the music.
Switching the iPod to PC bring the lil' nano not to its life back.
please help, my friend loves his nano 2g

I assume you're saying your friend's iPod got wet during his rainy day cycling. Assuming the problem is due to water damage your friend can try letting it "dry" for several days without turning it on then seeing if they have any success. Also try going through the 5 R's. If it is indeed water damage then it's not covered under warranty, in which case your friend would either have to go through 3rd party means to see if it can be repaired or purchase a new iPod.

For the calendars I use the thunderbird Mozilla calendar (that I export in .vcs) but the problem is that the appointment appear in my ipod with a different time: 18:00 on Mozilla become 16:00 in Ipod... Note that both (ipod and Mozilla Calendar) are configured with time zone in Paris.

Have you been having problems with ipod nano 3rd gen?

Have you been having problems with your ipod nano 3rd gen? got a windows xp computer? is your pc not recognizing it? I think i may have the solution. After 2 2 hour calls to apple tech support they were stumped. we reset it again and again, reinstalled itunes again and again. and they had no solution for me. I went to my device managerand there was a device called (apple Ipod USB driver) with a yellow exclamation point. I tried updating driver but to no avail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. But then I had an epiphany. I went to the device manager right clicked the apple ipod usb device clicked properties then update driver. Hardware wizard went up and I chose not to install automatically. and i chose to install driver manually. and then I installed a generic usb mass storage driver in its place and presto!!! it worked! it was instantly recognized by itunes and it took me to the registration page. I did what the apple support team wasn't able to do for 4 hours. I wonder if they're accepting applications... Anyway i hope this helps anyone out there cause i know i went through a lot of stress.

the driver is just a regular usb mass storage driver. it's in your computer. it's just a matter of installing it manually where it saya to include the location of the driver click browse and choose c:\windows\system32

Any one had problems with IPOD Nano getting wet from sweating while exercising. It will kill your Ipod so beware.

Ipod nano will stop operating if it gets wet from sweating while exercising. Beware, sweat will kill your nano and apple will not cover it under warranty. So don't let it get wet.

Sweat bands works!

Recording problems with ipod nano - too many voices reading audiobook

I have tried listening to two audiobookks on my ipod nano (6G) but the reader's voice is subject to an identical part-second later echo which makes it all but impossible to understand what he is saying - any suggestions as to the cause of this fault and (hopefully) how to remedy it - thanks, Peter

Assorted Problems with iPod Nano 4th gen and iTunes

So i am currently experiencing several problems. Let me break it down so that it might help you understand what's going on.
#1 When dragging music files to my ipod in itunes, an error message popped up stating some sort of file reading/writing error, i forgot exactly what it said.
#2 iPod starts randomly reseting itself when it changes to a new song. sometimes reseting itself right after the main menu comes back up. It also does this while connected to my JVC KD-AVX44 stereo in my car via USB and while listening normally by headphones.
#3 I tried restoring it in itunes, after the restore software was downloaded, an error message appeared stating that the ipod could not be restored.
#4 itunes begins to not recognize iPod
#5 itunes freezed when brought up, still not recognizing the ipod.
#6 itunes crashes? It came up with a window asking for an itunes library to continue, selected just "my music" instead, no files labeled .itl in that. clicked cancel, itunes dosn't come back up.
I'm hoping there's something simple that i'm missing here, can anyone help?

I think i'll try reinstalling itunes tonight, i tried using some of the tips in these articles to reinstall my usb drivers etc, as i still can't get my ipod to restore. apple store will be the next step.

Also, (common question) what's the easiest way to get music into your itunes library automatically if downloading from another source. i just dragged all my previous music from "my music" when i got the nano, i'd just been using WMP before. and i can't seem to find a way to automatically have itunes pick up this stuff. kind of a pain in the behind to drag it all.

Even within the iPod Linux Project the Fifth Generation iPod and the Nano are unsupported hardware so you are pretty much on you own, however check these links out:
