3g Nano -- No Music During Workout?

So, I just got a new Nano and the Nike stuff. I used it for the first time this morning and while all the running tracking stuff worked just fine (kept my pace, announced the mileage in my headphones, etc.), it wouldn't play any music through. It acts like it's playing the songs (gives the song/artist listing in the right place on screen), but the only audio I get is the mileage announcer. The Nano plays music just fine otherwise. Anyone have any thoughts?

Good news! On my run this morning, I systematically went through the only options I could think of...
1. Changed Playlists -- no effect
2. Changed Voice Announcer from Female to Male -- no effect
3. Changed Playlist again after changing Announcer -- success!
Then I even changed the Announcer back to Female and it still worked. Hopefully this is a one-time thing and I won't have to do it every time I run (if I remember, I'll update this thread with that finding), but regardless, it seems to have worked.
This doesn't address how the new armband won't accommodate the sensor you have to plug into bottom of the Nano, but that's another thread entirely

Change Music during workout?????

While in a workout mode, there is a option to "change Music" for some reason, when I it this, I get nothing! Am I doing somethings wrong (I thought it would go to my libary)or do I have to load songs /playlist somewhere??
THANK YOU in ADVANCE for any help you may be able to provide me.

Unless you have Playlists on your Nano you will not be given any options when selecting Change Music. This is a faulty design, in my opinion, which I hope will be corrected in future releases. You should be able to access your Library or Albums.
Having said that. You can select an album before you begin your workout and then select Currently Playing once you initiate your Workout. But you can't change Albums or Songs once you begin a Workout, you can only change Playlists.

Why does my nano stop recording my workout?

The past two nights, my nano has stopped recording my workout before I finish my treadmill exercise. The first night the nano had paused the workout recording and was waiting for me to pick music. The second night the nano actually just stopped recording the workout, just like as if I had hit the end workout button. The nano is in my shorts pocket and I know without a doubt that I am not accidentally causing this. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem?

Hi newz4,
If you are having issues with your iPad not continuing to record video even with sufficient space available, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can't save "Play music during slideshow" setting in iPhoto 6

Hi,
I just bought and installed iPhoto 6 today as an upgrade to iPhoto 4. I've discovered that I'm unable to save the "Play music during slideshow" setting in the dialog which appears when I click the "Play" button from the thumbnail screen to play a slideshow. If I uncheck this checkbox and then click on the "Save Settings" button, the next time I play a slideshow, the music starts up again. The most particularly annoying thing about this problem is that I'm trying to create a slideshow that plays no music, and I have to continually uncheck the "Play music during slideshow" checkbox each time I play the slideshow. Has anyone else run into this problem, and is there a solution or workaround for it?
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I think I've figured out what's going on here, but I don't know how to fix it. While I was playing around with the items in the "Play" dialog that appears when you initiate a slideshow, I discovered that if I uncheck the "Play music during slideshow" and then change the selection in the tree of folders underneath the checkbox, that the checkbox becomes selected. This would normally be the considerate thing to do, since if the user were making a selection in that tree, it would be rather "rude" in a software sense to not check the checkbox automatically. Unfortunately, in this case, the logic doesn't seem to be looking at the Preferences flag which (correctly, I think) is remembering that I don't want music to be played. So what I think is happening is when this dialog is first instantiated, the checkbox setting is remembered correctly. However, what happens next is that the saved selection in the folder tree is then restored, which then triggers the "a tree selection was just made, so let's check the checkbox" event. This is why if you've saved the "don't play music" setting, the checkbox is initially cleared, and then when the tree selection is set, the checkbox becomes checked. If I save the settings with the checkbox checked, the checkbox is set from the instant the dialog appears. So assuming that this is what's happening, is it possible to fix this by editing the NIB file using the Developer Tools? Or is this logic embedded in the compiled code?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Music during Photo slideshow

i red other topics related to music backgroud but i didn't find anything similar to my issue:
The music played by front row is different from wich i choose (and i save using the tick off "play music during slide show"...) in the slideshow section of IPhoto...
I don't know how to stop this ! pls help...

I agree with you JimAlden - this lack of functionality is very irritating.
Although "Joeymacdaddy" seems to have found a solution with iPhoto 6, this unfortunately has not translated to iPhoto 8 (7.1.3) which I am using. Unlike others, I am simply unable to get any iPhoto-selected iTunes music coming through when I play either an album or a slideshow in Front Row, yet iTunes music plays when separately selected in Front Row.
Joey's solution would be a better workaround than what I have at present, but I would still like to select and play from Front Row "Slideshows" created in iPhoto (with its image-specific slide timings) and with their corresponding music, both streamed from another computer. At present one can only play such shared slideshows with their selected music using iPhoto itself and one must ensure that the same music is resident on that computer.
Another issue is that the streaming is also often too slow (even under 802.1n) and therefore I generally have to copy the particular iPhoto Library including the slideshow on to the playing computer. It would be good therefore to have an ability to automatically update that version from the host in a similar way to how Apple TV works as I understand it since our libraries are typically 15-30GB each.

If someone steels your ipod nano with music already on it, can they then plug the nano into their computer and have access to my itunes account and all the music there also?

If someone steels your idpod nano with music already on it.....can they also plug the stolen ipod into their computer and have my itunes account pop up with all my current music there?

No, the must have your apple id and pw to do so it will also ask for them to erase and sync

Music during slide show

How do I play music during the slide show? I looked at the setting for Music and the only option available is "off" with a check mark present. There doesn't seem to be a way to uncheck this.
Please help.

You have to dig into the settings. The slideshow music choices are limited if you do not have music on the actual appleTV unit. I have all my music stream from my HD. I had to go into settings and choose one album that the slideshows shuffle from all the time. From the slideshow window I have nop options or anything to choose from.

Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in?

Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in? its like the external speaker is always on, i cannot figure out how to turn it off....HELP SOMEONE

You don't have to shout - typing in caps.
The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
 If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

Problems using new nano during workouts

I bought my new nano for more capacity than my 1st gen, which still works fine. But the touch screen does not work as well for me as the clickwheel did. The best location for the nano is clipped to my waistband, and I can operate the clickwheel by feel, to change volume or skip or repeat selections, which I do frequently during long workouts. But the touchscreen goes to sleep, and in any case I can't find the controls without taking off the new nano and looking at the screen. Sweaty clothes rubbing over it also actuate the touchscreen menus sometimes. So I've given up on using it and have gone back to using my old nano. Too bad, Apple presents the new nano as a workout tool but it certainly doesn't work that way for me. I'll try to figure out some way to get rid of it and get a slightly older refurb-ed nano with a clickwheel.

I'm sitting at my computer right now with my 6th Generation Nano (Product Red) and my Ultimate Ears headphones and that adapter. I'm able to skip to the next song, return to the start of that song, pause, hear voiceover, raise the volume, lower the volume, ...Works like a champ and I've never had a problem with sweat getting into the switches when I used it with my 3rd Generation Shuffle OR with my 6th Generation Nano.
I do suggest you use Google and find a plastic docking plug for the Nano when you use it while working out. It says that about the adapter because that is what it was developed for. It will work just fine with the Etymotic.

IPod Nano 4G Skips During Playback with Apple Lossless Songs

My iPod Nano 4th Generation has been consistently skipping a brief portion of music about every 5th Apple Lossless song during playback. I've been working unsuccessfully to resolve this issue with tech support and fixed the problem when I disabled the energy level setting in the playback menu. While this is a hit to battery life, the skipping no longer occurs. Hoping that this issue is permanently resolved in an upcoming software update.

Hi,
I brought my ipod yesterday and had the exact same issue. it would skip certain songs frequently and was extremely frustrating. Im not sure if this is the case for all ipods (i have an ipod nano 16Gb 4th gen, with firmware 1.0.4), but i fixed my issue in a series of steps. Im not sure which exact part of my method did the job, but here it is:
1. plugged it into iTunes and clicked "restore" under the tab "summary". WARNING: This will delete everything, and restore factory settings. im not sure if this is necessary, but youll need to delete the songs which skip anyway.
2. pressed the eject button IN ITUNES (under "devices", and next to your ipod icon), ejecting the ipod. wait for the ipod to specify when it is ready for it to be unplugged. proceed to unplug said ipod.
3. Choose the language of your ipod, and go into playback settings and (settings/playback or something) and turn OFF "shake" and "energy saver"
4. Plug your ipod into your computer again and drag all the songs onto your ipod using itunes.
5. after it has finished copying, WAIT until the ipod no longer says "synching", and until it says "connected"
6. Press the eject button IN ITUNES (again, under devices, and next to your ipod icon)
7. Eject when the ipod says it is ok to do so.
As i said, im not sure which part of the method did it for me, but i think it might be the way in which i was ejecting it. Before i was ejecting the ipod on my desktop. I think it is important to eject it using itunes. Anyway this fixed my ipod. Im not sure if it will do the same to yours, but if its making you very angry (to say the least) like it made me, its worth a try i guess. I would appreciate it if people let me know if this works.

Ipod nano deleting music problem

i bought an ipod nano from disc replay for my 7 yr old stepson for christmas and i cant figure out how to delete the previous owners songs off of it and to add our own?

Hey there JTharp2013,
It sounds like the iPod nano has the previous owners music, and you would like to sync your music to it. You should be able to reset the device back to factory defaults, then use your library to sync your music over with your iTunes library.
Restoring iPod to factory settings

How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Ipod nano 7th nike plus workout show burned calories AND hearthrate

Hi,
For years i used during my multi workout like crosstrainer and running a simple polar hearthrate band plus a watch so during the workout i can easily see the so far burned calories AND my hearthrate at that moment.
Now i upgraded to a ipod nano 7th gen plus a polar nike plus band, and i cannot find a workout on my ipod which simply counts calories and displays them together with the heartrate.
Anyone has a tip, or should i get back at my old polar watch ?
Thx and greets.
Mamo

I have spent HOURS trying to get my stuff to show on Nike+. I spent an hour on the phone with Nike, and another hour with Apple, who told me to contact Nike again. Then I saw up2105's respnse up above and it clicked.....I, too, had been using the WALK option, because I'm trying to get back into shape and I'm not yet up to running 100% of my workout. And WALK does not show up in Nike+.
I don't even know why WALK is an option, if it won't sync with Nike+. And why did their techs not mention this to me at the very beginning???? What about older folks who don't run anymore....are their workouts not worthy of charting on Nike+? Anyway....thank you up2105!!!

Play Radio During Workout

Is there anyway to play the radio instead of music files during a Nike Plus workout session? Every time I try it stops the radio and starts playing my workout playlist.

I'm almost sure it's impossible, but it's a great feature!

Why does my nano shut off during pause when running?

I have 3 ipods. I have no issues with my classic nano but I purchased latest nano because of its size and easy to read buttons during a run. I use Nike plus to track all of my runs and especially need to log my runs as one. However, if I pause to take a short break during a long run (a minute to a minute and a half at the most), my ipod does not allow me to resume. After a short time I hear "your workout is complete". This is so frustrating because now I show split runs in the same day, can't record accurate information on Nike plus. I have only had it for a few weeks and have already reset it. Has anyone else had this problem.

We use nike+ also so we understand. The tracking is really nice as long as you're calibrated. It probs is a default in fitness mode to save power - we haven't had a need to pause yet. The battery must be really small compared to prev gen nanos. Our gen 4 lasts days and days before needing recharging.
The nano 6 is very pricey if you don't use the updated fitness mode and not nearly as popular as it once was.
