3rd Generation Nano playing songs slow with static.

I have a 3rd generation Nano and I have noticed that it has been songs a bit weird lately. It is not every song but rather every few songs. What happens is the song slows down with some static too. I equate to a record playing on a slower speed than it should. I am not quite sure what is going on...please help.

The songs were purchased from iTunes therefore I do not believe that they are corrupt. May I ask how a song can be corrupted?
I am assuming that a visit to the Genius Bar is order, correct???

IPod Nano 3rd generation: Only plays songs recently downloaded to my iTunes Library

iPod Nano 3rd generation (Version 1.1.3) for Windows
Any song that I download onto the iPod shows up in its library, but when I try to listen to the songs, they won't play.
The only songs the iPod will play are those that have just recently downloaded onto my iTunes library.
If the new songs aren't on the iPod, then when I try to play a song, the "now playing" screen shows up, not showing any songs, and the playlist says "playing 1 of 0"

Hi LeviBC,
It sounds quite frustrating having your iPod only play certain songs, I am quite sure I would be unhappy in similar circumstances. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
If you are having issues with your iPod nano (3rd generation) not playing some of your music, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps found on this page -

5th gen Nano playing songs slower and with some digital "noise"

Recently I have notice my 5th gen Nano playing songs slowere and with digital "noise" when out speed walking with the pedometer on...anyone experience this and know what could be causing it?

I'm also having this issue. It started on Friday. It slowed down my music towards the middle of the song and if I change the song it is OK for a bit and then it gets the digital noise and slows down again. I have no idea what is causing it. My ipod is less than a year old. I'm going to try and reset it tomorrow I think. The trouble is driving me NUTS.

3rd generation nano hates certain songs!

I am sure that this question has been posted before but - here it goes. It seems that my 3rd generation nano randomly stops playing musical tracks for no apparent reason. A song will be playing and before the song is over nano stops the tack and proceeds to the next. Whether I am shuffling songs, playing an album - whatever, it just randomly cuts a track short.
I have tried restoring it to no avail.
Any wisdom or advice out there???
Thanks so much!
Mark

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

Nike+ compatible with 3rd Generation Nano

Hello ...I have been using Nike+ on my 2nd Generation Nano for just over a year with no problems ...unexpectedly I have got my hands on a 3rd Generation Nano ...my question is can I use the same Nike+ kit with the 3rd Generation Nano? ...or have the Nike+ kits been updated therefore meaning I'd have to buy a new one?

There are a couple of different model numbers out on the packaging from nike and apple.
With that said, both will work. There should not be any problem.
Hope this helps.

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

Hey there,
A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
Hope this helps.

5th generation Nano skipping songs.

I bought a 5th generation iPod nano off eBay after my 3rd generation Nano started skipping songs. My new iPod is now skipping the same songs, but the songs play fine on my computer. I have tried rebooting, restarting and converting some to AAC but not to any effect. Can anyone help me?

No same problem here can't get apple to help since it costs 30 bucks to talk to someone.

Is there a battery recall on 3rd Generation Nanos?

Is there a battery recall on the 3rd generation Nano? Mine's 9 months old, will play video for 35 minutes with full charge (from full depletion). It doesn't get much use, I heard that could cause problems also.

There is no recall but they do need to be "exercised", with a charge cycle at least monthly.
It is still in warranty, send it in or make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store.

3rd Gen Nano: Play Button???

I bought a 3rd generation Nano about year ago. In excellent condition and has been in a hard case since I bought it. The "play" button has not been responding. Sometimes, if you press really hard or in the right place, it will work. I have an appointment @ Apple tomorrow. It has been about a year and I do not have applecare. What am I in for? Any help?

Have you tried resetting the iPod? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
If that doesn't work you can try a restore (the 'factory settings'):

HT1586 Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

AppleTV has no analogue connections.
It has HDMI which can go to your TV or in theory to an AV receiver equipped with HDMI inputs.
Some HDMI amps/receivers and HDMI switches can cause glitches with AppleTV but it really depends on the particular device.
AppleTV also has optical out, so if you only wanted a connection for Dolby Digital or stereo feeds from the AppleTV you could connect AppleTV to teh TV via HDMI and also run optical to the amp.
Audio is output over HDMI and optical simultaneously.

4th generation Nano won't charge with stereo.

My 2nd generation just decided to die. I've had it integrated with my car stereo and it was working great until this morning when it just died. So, I decided to use the 4th generation that I had connect to my Bose system. To my surprise the Nano said that it wouldn't charge. This is a relatively new $2K+ stereo so I'm not happy with the Nano right now. Just for grins, I tried a friends 3rd generation Nano and it seems happy to charge. Any ideas what has changed between these generations? Any (non-xrated) suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

See here: iPod's battery doesn't charge
Leave it to charge for a few hours. Then come back and reset it if necessary.
If nothing else, it's likely a sign of a dead battery that needs to be replaced.

3rd generation nano frozen and won't reset

I have a 3rd generation nano, that is about 3 weeks old. It is frozen and it won't reset. I've reset before with no problem, but for some reason it won't reset anymore. Any tips?

I've successfully reverted to 1.0.1 using information in the Mac OS thread. Go to:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1213. It has all the guidance you need to revert to 1.0.1. Below is part of my recent post within that thread.
"I downloaded the two 1.0.1 files (iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw" and "iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw.signature) provided on this thread by "Alain Claude Cl..." (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1036653). Many thanks Alain. I followed his instructions, also in this thread, for installing them. I also found the posts from "sottil" (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1033843 ) to be extremely helpful.
Thanks to everyone in the thread who kept this topic going. Until Apple gets its act together and issues 1.0.3 or 1.0.2.1 or whatever, the only solution is to revert to 1.0.1 following the guidance in this thread.
