1 gb ipod nano - trouble with first time charge?

I've recently tried to charge my 1gb nano for the first time using my USB hub. I'm running xp w/sp 2...and after plugging the nano into my computer it did nothing. I researched and buying an A/C adaptor was suggusted. I purchased the charger and still nothing. Not a battery icon, a lightning bolt..nothing. I will say when I first plugged the nano in to charge the apple icon came up twice and I haven't seen any signs of life from the thing since then.
Can anybody help? Prior to my returning or throwing this thing out the window? Maybe technology just isn't ready to properly replace my discman!

See these or return it and get another one.

I just sync'd my iPod Nano for the first time. All the audiobooks appear to have been loaded but I cannot hear anything during playback. The volume is turned all the way up. My headphones work when plugged into a different unit. What's next?

I just sync'd my brand new ipod Nano with my laptop PC running Windows 7, and loaded all my audiobooks. They show up on the Nano's screen, but when I select one I hear nothing. The earphones work fine when connected to another unit. What's next?

I'm ok with having to resync everything once she gets home but it concerned me when you said it would, again, wipe everything once I plugged it in here. I don't care about having to reload music, contacts, & apps from here, but I would rather not lose all the pictures that she took while she was gone. If we did decide to go the whole start-over-from-scratch route on her end while she is there, could the loss of pictures be adverted if she created a backup of her phone, copied the backup to a USB drive, & brought the backup file home with her so I could restore it from here? When I plug my phone into another computer, I can open it through My Computer & copy the pictures; could I do that when she gets home before I allow iTunes to open & wipe everything again?
I guess the other option would be to just have her just copy all of the pictures onto a USB drive before she comes home, I'm just curious if it's possible to restore everything if she just brings the backup file home.
Thanks again for taking the time to helping me.

ANY PODCAST CAN'T PLAY ON IPOD NANO AT THE FIRST TIME

Everytime i try to play a podcast on my ipod nano, the first time it hangs for a few seconds and then it returns to the main menu. So i have to enter the podcast menu again, select the file once again and then it plays.
That happens everytime i turn my ipod on...
OBS.: Both Itunes and nano are updated....

Have you got NTFS-3G installed? "sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g".
Then you can edit your /etc/fstab and do:
/dev/sdb1 /media/whatever ntfs-3g defaults,user,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
thanks, vcolonel.
Yes, I have ntfs-3g installed. But although I edited fstab as you said, it couldn't mount the drive automatically.
I guess this problem is not caused by ntfs. Because it happens to ext4 and fat too.
And I found that the partition had been overwritten.
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb

I don't know why and how it happenned. It should have only one ntfs partition.

I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync. Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work. is there a way to reboot it?

It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
Good Luck!

How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod? Please Help Soon.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Does the iPod nano come with a means to charge the battery?

Yes it comes with a syncing cable that you can connect to your PC's USB ports to charge or you can connect it to an Apple wall adapater (sold seperately).

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.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

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.

Only if the cable fits the connectors on each end.

My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge.

My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge. Sometimes, if I connect it to the computer, turns on and appears on the screen a battery. Other times I connect it, and will not turn on anything. If you load it, I can use it, but if I turn off the ipod, after does not turn on. I tried to reload it with an outlet to the current, but does not turn on. Can I fix it? How much does it cost?

You need a new battery.

New 9 Cell S10 Battery-Advcie For First Time Charge and After?

Did search on first time charge for laptop batteries. I just picked up a 9 cell laptop battery for my S10. What is the best way to keep the life of these battries long. Read discharge fully then charge for 12 hours. Read charge fully then discharge 3 x's.
Any one know for sure? Please advise!-Thanks.
PS- the battery came charged at 81%.

Hi ... i did the first 3 x times charged full / empty .. later you can charge if you want / need the battery ... if you use long period of time plugged with psu (week, month) ... its better to eject the battery ..
store at cool & dry place... and use it when you want mobile
thats only my suggestion

Ipod nano compatibility with ipod accessories

Is the ipod nano compatible with other ipod accessories? Will it work with my Bose speaker system built for the ipod? Will the car charger and battery backups that I have purchased for my ipods work with the nano? thanks

I want to get an ipod nano, but i have the earbud headphones that i bought separately from the ipod. you know, the ones with the 3 different rubber sizes or your ears? well i was wondering if it would work with the ipod nano. i saw that the nano had different headphones.

Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

I have:
Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
works fine, linking is easy, but....
Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
Anyone have any suggestions ?

I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone. My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones. Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
