5th Gen Nano not listed

We got our 5th gen nano today and are very happy with it. We looked to buy a few iPod (clickwheel) games on the store (iTunes 9.0). However the compatibility list for the games stops at the 4th generation nano and doesn't list the 5th gen nano at all. Any thoughts on likely compatibility?
Message was edited by: Mac@DBB to include iTunes version.

OK - to answer my own question a little bit. the 5th gen nanos aren't listed in the compatibility info but i just loaded Asphalt4 and when it had downloaded it listed the Nano 5th gen as a compatible ipod in its detailed info. It installed and ran fine.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen: Music not listed under artists nor albums, only in Songs

    I just purchased a new iPod Touch 5 Generation, I have lots of albums on my PC, tried to copy them to iTunes, works perfectly and existing in iTunes, when checked the iPod Touch 5th Generation, the songs appear under Songs But nothing under Artists nor Albums!
    All my Albums are with well maintained id-tags.
    I checked the compilation, It's already un-tick.
    Please help...

    Nothing shows in the artists or albums columns at all, or specific songs don't show up in the corresponding artist or album listings?
    Standard things to try would be a reset, then a restore (although with a new machine that ought not to be necessary).
    I'm leaning towards the possibility of multiple tags. iTunes is much happier when files have a single ID3v2.3 tag. Where multiple tags exist there is the possibility that iTunes and iOS might process different tags. Select the tracks of a test album, uncheck the tracks and sync to remove from the device. Select again, right click and use Convert ID3 Tags... > None and click OK. Repeat the process two or three times just to be sure. Then use Convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3. You will need to refetch/reembed any artwork. Check the tracks again and sync. Any better now?

  • Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

    I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
    Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

    I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
    Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

  • My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

    my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • Ipod nano 5th gen is not in Itunes or computer.

    5th gen nano has recently stopped being recogtnized in itunes and computer. 6th gen. nano and ipod classic work fine. Went through the troubleshooting steps. No luck Any suggestions?

    Nothing is displayed on the nano and I didn't try it on another PC. However, I discovered that if I don't use the ipod dock and just use a cable from the Ipod to  USB on the PC it works fine. Two other Ipods work fine connected to the dock. It dosn't make sense to me and leads me to believe there is something wrong with the dock, for just the nano.

  • Boombox or Dock w/Skrs and Charger compatible with 5th Gen Nano?

    So I'm trying to research devices that are COMPLETELY compatible with the 5th Gen Nano. Please don't recommend the Apple store as I do not find the compatibility information I seek (most manufacturers only claim w.r.t. music playback).
    Most all 3rd party devices that are "compatible" will play 5th gen Nano music through speakers (of course - what would be the point otherwise), but if they possess a charging feature, they were designed and manufactured well before Apple changed the connector arrangement on the 5th Gen Nano, and so will not charge.
    Has anyone compiled a list of devices that are compatible both in terms of music playback and charging with the 5th gens?
    Thanks.

    It's good to know someone like yourself has both 4th and 5th gen and can definitely state they charge the same (I am assuming with the same USB cable).
    So - theoretically, if I find a device that will both charge a 4th gen and playback a 4th gen, it will do the same with the 5th gen? I think this is what you are implying. That is what I am hoping.
    I cannot find this in writing, and I suspect some of the devices on the Apple Store will not play but NOT charge a 4th gen nano, so the same will be true of the 5th gen.
    OK, price-point is less than $100... portable (plays on battery) or AC powered. WILL charge a 5th gen nano. Nice if it had a remote. OK if it has a clock. OK if it has a FM tuner (how would one use the Ipod to tune FM if the earphones were not connected (used as an antenna)?
    Thank you.

  • Compatible FM Transmitter for 5th gen nano

    Hello. I've tried my 5th gen nano on two different fm transmitters for car use, and a message comes on the nano's screen and says something like "charging not supported with this device", also, it will not play music over the transmitters, just the nano's internal speaker. Does anyone know of a compatible FM transmitter for this 5th gen nano?? Make and model would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Forums, Sarcophagus!
    Apple lists the following models as compatible:
    Griffin RoadTrip with SmartScan
    Griffin iTrip Auto with SmartScan
    Griffin iTrip AutoPilot
    Good luck!

  • 5th Gen Nano Frozen

    My 5th Gen nano is frozen on "Connected Eject before disconnecting." It is not listed anywhere on my Mac to eject nor can I reset per the tech support. It is just frozen. My shuffle worked just fine so it is not the USB port or Mac...could it be my Nano's USB cable?

    Are you using the latest version of iTunes and VoiceOver?
    It is not listed anywhere on my Mac to eject
    Should be. Have you restarted your computer lately? Repaired permissions?
    iTunes/Devices - click on the eject symbol !http://arstechnica.com/reviews/1q00/macos-x-dp3/trash-eject.jpg!
    Or if the iPod Nano is showing up on your desktop, right click & select eject.

  • 5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

    Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • 5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

    I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
    I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
    Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

    I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
    A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
    How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

  • Can't see 5th gen nano on hp pavillion running windows xp

    Hi guys, I just got a brand new 5th gen nano (for my birthday) but when i connect it to the usb port on my pc the error message usb device not recognised comes up and i've tried all the usual ways to remidy this (the 5 R's etc). Also, when i check the drivers, all that comes up is unknown device.
    PLEASE HELP as i am going mental trying to sort this out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Guys, Got the problem sorted. It was a faulty cable shipped with the ipod. Had a friend loan me his and it worked straight off. Thanks again.

  • Fm tuner in 5th gen nano let you play out of car stereo?

    i have an older car (2001) that does not have a jack to plug in an ipod. back in the day, with my mini, belkin made a fm tuner that could attach to mini, to listen to ipod from car stereo.

    I have a Belkin FM transmitter which I use with a 2nd Gen Nano and it also works with a 5th Gen Nano. The only difference is that I first have to put the Nano into play and then plug the FM-T. in, otherwise it doesn't work.
    Hence I would assume a transmitter which worked with a 4th gen also works with a 5th gen. After all, it is all about the connector and that is always the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer

  • My iPod touch 5th gen does not respond properly when charging?

    Having real issues with my iPod touch 5th gen touchscreen not responding when it's on charge. Parts of the screen go dead or need several taps etc. Tried removing case etc. made sure I'm using included charger and directly to the mains not on an extension. Is it faulty?

    Some other users have reported same problem. I have not heard of a resolution. You can try:
    - Using another cable
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
