2 Gen Nano - doesn't acknowledge sensor

I have a Red 8GB Nano that I received last Christmas and I just purchased the Nike plus software and shoes. It isn't recognizing the sensor and I am unable to upload the Nano v. 1.2 to my iPod, though I have version 7.5 iTunes. iTunes keeps telling me I have the latest software. Is version 1.1.3 fine to use with the Nike plus software? Any other suggestions as to why my sensor may not be working? Thank you!

alright, so I have the 2nd Gen 4gb ipod... nike + would not show up on my menu at all (but it is in the settings, turned on). I spent an hour on the phone with the ipod specialist, updated to version 7.5 itunes, and 1.1.3 ipod version, did everything she said, still did not work. so she said i should return it and get another one... did that, still didnt work. borrowed a friends ipod (same exact- pink 2nd gen ipod 4gb) and it worked right away on hers... i even restored my ipod (to original factory condition) and it STILL did not work. Sooo, long story short, its something wrong with my ipod i guess. interesting though, my friends ipod version is 1.0.3 and it worked on hers... anyways, i know this doesn't really help, i am waiting for a response from the specialist again to see what to do now- will update as soon as i hear back. (you can call 1800myapple, and go through all the way to a specialist who will walk you through step by step- its annoying but worth it)

My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle.

My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle. It just plays the same song over and over. How do I fix this?

Make sure the Repeat setting hasn't been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

6th gen Nano doesn't recognize "Album Artist"

I've recently bought a 6th gen Nano and noticed that while my iTunes recognizes "Album Artist" for songs with featured artists, but my iPod doesn't. It'll list, for example, "Matsushita Yuya" and "Matsushita Yuya ft. Sista" as two different artists in the "Artist" menu even though they both have "Matsushita Yuya" as "Album Artist." Both kinds of songs show up in the same album under the "Album" menu.
I've tried listing as a compilation, changing "Sort Artist" and "Sort Album Artist," but nothing groups the songs together on my iPod under the Artist menu while keeping the featured song artist.
Listing as a compilation and changing "Sort Album Artist" doesn't change anything.
When I put "Matsushita Yuya" in "Sort Artist" for a "Matsushita Yuya ft. Sista" song, my iPod just gets rid of the featuring part all together.
I've looked online, but as far as I've seen, other 6th gen Nanos don't have this problem.

My new (5 months old) 6th gen nano started doing the same thing, starting a week ago! I had to trade in my previous nano because the screen went white. Paid 150 for this one, now this again! I see alot of the same problems posted everywhere. Is there an Nano (6G) recall in the near future?
So where do I go from here?

6th gen nano doesn't stay on or off

My ipod nano 6g stops playing occasionally - not just when the screen goes black. It will run about 40 minutes and then quit, and after that somewhere between 3 and 30 seconds at a time. It also does not stay off even when I turn it off, the screen keeps coming back on and runs the battery all day. Suggestions besides the headphones? I've tried that.

NIB 4th Gen nano doesn't turn on

Yesterday I got an unopened 4G nano (leftover from company promotional handouts/prizes). The i-pod runs fine when plugged into the computer, and the charging indicators show up as expected. Once unplugged (after properly ejecting), it turns off and is unresponsive, no matter how long it has been charged (tried charging overnight). Googling has turned up similar experiences, and the solution was always "Take it back!". Given the age, no purchase proof etc., I don't expect any apple support on this. Could the battery be bad after sitting unused for a couple years?

HT4316 my 6th gen nano won't p/u any radio signals when I plug in earbuds

My 6th gen nano doesn't seem to recognize the earbuds are inserted. It tells me to insert them in order to p/u radio signals when they are already in. How can I get FM radio to work? Thx!

I don't understand why you only recvd 5pts, I clicked on "This solved my question", as it did.
I had tried 3 sets of headphones but not inserted them far enough in, afraid of damaging my
new gadget. I was quite frustrated. Anyway, I suppose 5 beats 0, thank you again and I
apologize for points mixup.

Linking multiple Nike+ Sensors to 6th Gen Nano

Is there a way to link multiple Nike+ sensors to a 6th Gen Nano? I have the Nike+Sports kit with that sensor. I would like to link the sensor that I use with my touch to the nano also.
Please point me in the directions of the correct instructions.
I've tried to link, but the Nano doesn't see the new sensor.
thanks
marc

anyone have any experience with this?

My 6th gen nano has suddenly stoped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest dowloaded tunes from the itunes store.

The ipod shows on iTunes and it says it's syncing, but no content is transfered.
This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

White screen on a 3rd gen nano? Doesn't want to reset, any help

White screen on a 3rd gen nano? Doesn't want to reset, any help?

It fast forwards. Just hold down the right-arrow key and it fast-forwards while you are holding it down. That's how I got through all the O.J. stories on my downloaded news podcasts.

My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

3rd Gen Nano click wheel won't work in the car. My OLD one worked, but this one doesn't.

I use a PXDP iPod2Car iPod interface in my 02 Firebird. My original, trusty 3rd gen. nano used to work perfectly. It charged, and the steering wheel as well as main stereo controls operated it. Something happened to it recently (my guess is the logic board went bad) and it does not come on at all, plugged in or not. I actually have 2 more just like it that I was going to give away, but decided to keep.
Neither one of these will let me use the click wheel to scroll while plugged into the car - the old one did.
I can only change songs with the car's controls.
The only difference between these two and the old one, is that they have the HP logo on the back. Are they later models, with perhaps different hardware?
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is there any hope for the old one?
I hate not being able to scroll at all!
thanks in advance!

Contact PXDP. They should know if their product is compatible with your iPod Nano.
Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit?

My 4th gen nano has locked up and the click wheel doesn't function, is it dead?

Hi my 4th gen nano stopped working, the screens ok with no error messages but the click wheel no longer functions other than reseting. I've set it back to default ok but still no good as it's stuck on the language page. Is it dead??
Pete.

6th Gen Nano - Sound Check doesn't work

Hi
The sound level on my 6th Gen Nano is all over the place. There is a big variance in volume from one song to the next which is both annoying and dangerous to my hearing. The Sound Check function is turned on in both the Nano settings and iTunes.
Does anyone know a fix to this before my ear-drums blow out?

Sound check is basically useless. Hasn't worked effectively on any model I've purchased. However, as others have pointed out, you can adjust the volume of a song so that your playlists don't cause public embarrassment. Simply do a control "i" on a particular song. In the "info" tab, you can increase or decrease the volume of a particular tune. However, if you make the adjustment, be sure to adjust all of the tune from that album. Otherwise, when you play the album, the song you tweaked will have a different volume from the rest of tunes on the album. It ain't a great fix... but it's better than what the programmers have done with sound check.

My 6 gen nano needs a power source to stay on. battery doesn't charge at all. what do i do?

my 6 gen nano needs a power source to stay on and be able to use. battery won't charge at all. what can i do?

You need to contact Apple, to send in your ipod to get the battery replaced.

6th gen nano with nike + playlists don't shuffle

I switched from 1st gen nano to the 6th gen nano last week and one thing that I noticed is my playlists when hooked up to nike + sensor don't shuffle. I hear the same songs in order every run! It's frustrating because the 1st gen nano if shuffle is turned on for songs will shuffle your playlist songs in nike + mode the 6th gen doesn't. I shook the heck out of it and still it's the same song. Turned off shake when shuffle to see if their's a shuffle choice nope. Anyone else find this frustrating?
I have a call in to tech support this morning going to ask them this question seems I missing something or the 6th is missing this option.

I have the very same problem! And the calibration is a pain but it's getting better. "Default calibration... is accurate for many users" pshh...
You should let me know if you find out a way to get past this!
