1GB iPod Nano worry/problem

Hey all, I just got the new 1GB iPod Nano the other day and was very delighted. I was pressing the select button and I noticed something weird. It didn't go all the way down and it felt unclickable (I'm not refering to the "click" sound). Or it does if I press it hard enough but just standard pressure on it feels like the thing is stuck. Is this new on this generation (1GB)? Where the select button is now touch sensitive? Or is it just me and I'm being stupid hah! Just wondering..

no. the wheel is touch sensitive and when you want to select something you just press a button down. You dont have to press it hard, just press it down.
However, if your button feels jammed and it bothers you, you could probably take it to an Apple store and possibly get it replaced. If your button does get jammed then they probaly will replace it.
And I dont think anything is different between the 1gb nano and the other two other than the screen shape. It supposedly more rounded at the corners or something along those lines.

Interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation ..

interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation might be helpful to some.
NOTE: the feedback form isnt up to date for software versions for 1gb ipod nano (newest here is 1.1.1 but i have 1.3.1).
it seems i cannot create on-the-go playlist by holding album OR artist, with my 1gb ipod nano with VERSION 1.3.1 software, if there are various sizes of playlists in my ipod. i had about 4 playlists with 1 song in them and 2 -3 playlists with 5 - 30 songs in them. total space on ipod used was about 400mb of 896mb and about 1500 songs (most poor quality to save space (18-48kbs - i noticed some of the lower qualities have overtones of whistle or cricket like sounds (i have many ambient songs birds, thunder storms, etc)).
i just manually deleted ALL playlists also deleted 945 songs on my ipod with itunes, and now i am able to do it. i can even do it now with composer or genre etc (which isnt listed in the playlist creation instructions). i now have 612 songs with 113mb free.
p.s. i tried to leave this as bug feedback but got a strange message that was like a command pointing to a thank you for leaving feedback page.

I have got this problem with my new 8gb nano too. Its very sad I had my mini stolen from my person whilst in a hospital bed dozing and it worked from the same itunes list and I could add albums or artists or songs now on the new replacment nano I can only add songs. Very annoying, please let me know if anyone can solve this. I too have reset and restored it numerous times. I am in the uk I think you are in the states.

1GB iPod nano, pointless!

I think it is a little pointless to have a 1GB nano, you can get the shuffle for under 1/3 the price. And if you spend £30 pounds more you get 2times the size and if you spend £60 more you get 4 times the size!
Shuffle 512mb 120songs £49
1gb 240songs £69 +£20, 120songs,
Nano 1gb 240songs £109 +£40, Screen,
2gb 500songs £139 +£30, 260songs,
4gb 1000songs £179 +£40, 500songs,

"1GB iPod nano, pointless!"
Bit like this whole thread really.

1Gb iPod nano problem

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I am having trouble with my iPod Nano 1Gb. The battery
was still plenty strong when the iPod went off. No sound. When I try to start it again I get a folder icon with an exclamation point on top of it and the URL apple.com/support/ipod underneath. I tried hooking it up to my iBook and got a message that reads 'you have connected a volume that the macintosh doesn't recognize' and it gives me the option to 'ignore'or 'initialize'. Does anyone out there have any input on this dilemma? You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Hi
It's possible your nano got corrupted.
You can try the 5rs http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Typically you'll be able to solve your problem.
However, I think simply initializing your nano will solve the problem. However, it will erase all the data on the nano, so it's not advisable if you have songs you don't want to lose.

IPod nano installation problems with Windows Vista

I purchased an iPod nano today and have not been able to install iTunes. There are instructions for Windows XP but not much help for Vista. As of right now I am very unhappy with my purchase and if I can't get help soon I am going to return it. I have heard so many good things about iPods but I haven't had any good experiences yet. Please help!!

I, too, just bought my first ipod and have Windows Vista. I purchased songs through iTunes and tried to drag them to my ipod icon, but it said that I was not authorized on this computer! I called tech support for HP and they said it's a compatibility issue and to contact Apple about it to fix it. Before I do so, I am checking here first, just hoping there would be a really easy fix for this problem. I'm regretting getting Windows Vista now for many reasons, this being the latest. Any advice?

Ipod nano 4gb problem

hi all i came here cause i have a problem with mi ipod nano 3rd gen mi screen its freeze but when i reset the ipod i can hear 2 beeps and the same white screen, i can listen to my music but i see a white screen i can do everything normal but with a white screen and i cannot shut it off... please i need help im desperated =(

It sounds like resetting it isn't enough. Did you try RESTORING it? This will erase everything...so make sure you have all the music files you want to reload. But often, a restore will fix things. Once the restoration process is done...you'll have to re-state your sync preferences, etc. and reload your music.

Unknown device - ipod nano fine - problem with windows xp and usb root hub

Greetings all. I've seen this question come up over and over again and have been working on it following previous posts and posts on microsoft and hp sites for a couple of days now.
First off - the ipod nano is fine. Works on my son's computer well.
When I plug it into my 6 months new HP Pavilion laptop it says: 'found new hardware' and goes through the process of installing it, says it's been installed, but then shows 'unknown device'. In Device Manager it tells me there are no drivers installed, but when I try to follow the other instructions on this forum to update the drive to USB mass storage device (usbstor.inf), it tells me the best driver is installed and won't do it.
Many seem to have this problem with devices other than the iPod on Windows service pack 2 so I went to the Microsoft forums and they seem just as puzzled. I've updated all my Windows & HP software to the latest possible versions. The problem is definitely in the USB. Once, when I uninstalled the USB device and then rebooted the computer with my iPod still plugged into the port, it found my iPod, correctly identified it, and for a blissful moment I thought everything was fine! Then it reinstalled the USB drivers and made a comment to the effect that I should move the iPod to a USB 2.0 port for more effective operation and the iPod disappeared again.
I have 3 USB ports on my laptop, all are USB 2.0 and all 3 have the same problem.
I've tried all the stuff people have already said on here...does anyone have any NEW ideas? I'm hesitant to take it in for service because it seems to be a software problem that should be fixable.
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry about the long post.

This isn't a solution, but it's something I just tried and it may provide someone additional clues about's going on. I too think this is some sort of USB problem.
I have 6 USB ports. Two of them are USB 2.0. Since I applied the 03-23 update my computer hasn't recognized my nano at all. I would connect my nano and I couldn't get it to show up in My Computer, in iTunes, or on the far right side of the Start taskbar.
I just tried plugging my nano into the first USB port of my USB 2.0 pair and left the second 2.0 port empty. I then rebooted with the nano attached. Viola - I get a "Found New Hardware Apple iPod USB Device" message. My nano is now flashing "Do Not Disconnect." A small removeable storage icon with green arrow now shows on the far right side of the Start taskbar. If I click on it (like you're going to eject it) the note displayed says "Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device - Drive (F:)".
If I go into My Computer, "Removeable Disk (F:)" now shows there. However, if I try to follow Trevor's instructions in another post to "go into My Computer with iPod connected, right click it, wait till the right click menu comes up (could take a few minutes); click Format, . . ." I'm stuck. I do the right click, watch the hour glass and wait for the Format menu to come up but it never does. Eventually the hour glass just goes away. No message, no Format menu. The waiting hour glass just goes away.
My computer isn't as new as yours, but like you I am completely current on maintenance.
I'm going to keep trying . . . If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

IPod Nano 8gb problems with iTunes/iMac

Bought a brand new iPod Nano 8gb last night. I am trying to use it on an iMac G4 1 gigahertz with OSX 10.4. This computer is not online. I downloaded itunes 7.0.1 from a neighbors computer and installed it on my imac and it seems to work fine. I can hook up the Nano to the iMac with no problem. Itunes recognizes the Nano and seems fine UNTIL I click anywhere in the itunes window woth the Nano plugged in, at which point itunes disappears from my screen. I can relaunch it, but the same thing happens again. Itunes works fine without the Nano plugged in, but not with the Nano.
I called Apple Support, and was told I HAVE to be online to use both itunes and the new Nano I am online at work on a PC, but don't have internet access at home. I have no desire to download songs online, or do anything else online at home, I just want to be able to put my own existing CD's on my Nano to listen to away from home.
Any ideas? Do I HAVE to be online to use iTunes 7 and the new Nano?

I guess I'd better clarify this for my own sake. By "update" are you referring to changing music, folders, artists, etc? In which case, I realize that I would need to update my Nano to reflect any changes I make to my music files. If by "update" you are referring to making a software or firmware change through an internet connection, then I would think this would be a rare occurrence that could be done at a friends computer.
The Apple "help" person on the phone said that I couldn't even USE my Nano without being online. Period. That the new Nano and new versions of iTunes REQUIRED an internet connection to function properly.
At the Apple authorized dealer where I bought the Nano, they said there is no need at all to be online, as long as I have the proper versions of everything (OS, iTunes, etc) installed, it should work fine, there is no need for an internet connection. (Unless I want to actually download songs, of course) They have burned a CD for me with the required updates they feel I will need, which I will install later this evening. Hopefully that will work.
It makes no sense to me that I would be REQUIRED to be connected to the internet in order for the Nano to simply be able to playback songs I have stored on my iMac, as I was told by the Apple help person the phone. He made NO effort to help at all, saying repeatedly that as long as I was not "online" with my iMac, the Nano and iTunes would not work, saying "What part of this don't you understand?"
Then he hung up.

IPod Nano sound problem with bass

Hello,
I bought an iPod Nano 4Go few days ago. I used to have previously a Sony HBM30 that was very good in sound quality and especially with bass.
With the iPod nano, I should say that the sound is not as good as the sony especially for bass (saturation). I encode with VBR 256kbps in MP3. The sound is very poor if I put on the equalizer and there's no way of changing bass or treeble.
So here are few questions :
1/ Is there any tips to improve bass quality in order to avoid saturation ?
2/ Is there any headphone that are better that Ipod ones for bass ?
3/ Is there any firmware in the future that could improve sound and bass ?
4/ Does Apple knows this problem ?
Thanks for you help.
Best regards

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Keep in mind the headphones you may be using. How are the songs in iTunes? The question is whether the songs are being sent to the iPod with good quality. If you are pleased with the songs in iTunes, then first look at the headphones you are using. Are you using the white ones that come with the iPod? Those are not the best headphones as far as sound quality goes.
Just looking for a few basic answers to those questions before trying to troubleshoot the iPod, iTunes, or the songs.
Merry Christmas

Ipod nano charging problem

I got ipod nano today.
After unpack I tried to charge 5 hours but it never charge up.
So I disconnected usb cable and tried to operate ipod even there was mark of very low charged mark on screen.
But it turned off suddenly with message of low battery.
So I had to charge again but I saw the big low battery sign with thunder mark on the center of screen with some buzzing sound and tiny bip sound when I connect ipod nano to USB port.
Are these normal?

Bought an Ipod Nano today and I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!!
I could not start it at all, charged it for like 4 hours, nothing helped.
What I though could do, was mount it to the PC, and the PC could feel it, and I could see the drive etc.
Now to the solution, I ran the update Ipod program, and updated the program in the Ipod, and RIGHT AWAY it lighted up and now it seems like it works?
Really strange.. Try to update yours to!

HT1320 Ipod nano sync problem

Need help. Ipod nano will not sync to computer. Does its sync icon on the screen, but no sync happens. Tried resetting without luck. Is there a way to set where sync is to go?

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Huge Ipod nano screen problem

I have a big problem with the iPod Nano screen. It just doesn't work. I have tried reseting the ipod, restoring it but it just doesn't work.
It is not a screen problem because when I plug it on to the PC the screen lightens up with just white on it.
I could listen to the song by "blindly" selecting Shuffle. But now I can't even do that.
I would REAALY appreaciate any help.

If you can get one sent or brought down to you, you can replace it yourself It is not that hard to do, or I am sure you can find someone to do it for you. I live in Mexico and it is hard to get parts to us, there is also no repair place close, but we have people come from the states every once and awhile and they bring us parts so we can repair our own. Go on ebay and you will find screens for under 15 dollars U.S. and it comes with the tools that you will need to open your nano. Hope this helps.
