6th Gen Nano and Car Adapters

Anyone know if the new 6th gen Nano will work with automotive iPod adapters? Specifically, I have an after-market Sony deck in one car, and the other is a Cadillac CTS with built-in iPod connector. My old 4th gen Nano works, but it seems these car kits only work with the click-wheel style of iPod (something about the way the file structure is done on these devices).
My iPhone 4 gives me an "incompatible" message in the Cadillac, but it does seem to have limited functionality through the head unit.

No, it does not.

Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

6th gen nano and itunes

Opened itunes than plugged in my nano. Nano icon appeared on desk top not in itunes also upper middle box on itunes had wordage about ejecting nano before unplugging. My question is how do I sync songs into the nano? I do not see how to drag the songs to the nano like it use to be with older version of itunes were my ipod showed up on left side of itunes. I do have the latest update to itunes btw, this is the first time in awhile that I wanted to sync some music.

The "left side of itunes" is called the sidebar. The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar visible, the latest iTunes works (mostly) like previous versions.
NOTE: When the sidebar is not visible, there is a device button near the upper right corner of the iTunes window. If there is only one Apple device connected, it should say "iPod." Click that button to select the iPod, and show its Summary and other setup screens.

Shutting off and battery life 6th gen nano

I tried every way possible to get 24 hours battery life on the new 6th gen Nano, and the most I got was 12 hours. That was without touching the device,just letting it play music at 128bit rate. and everything off!. what is wrong! Also there is no way to turn off the Nano completely, only pause it. Please Apple send us all a software update that will fix this problem!! Don't let this product be another flop like your Iphone 4th gen was. To many flops and you will start going from number 1,to the worst company to purchase from.Your products in the past have been to good to let issues like this ruin your reputation. Please keep up the good work in your past, and don't let your products go to the garbage bin. thank you sincerely.

Mad Man,
I'm with you on these concerns. The "shutting off" of a device should not be a guessing game, nor should the user need to jump through hoops, particularly if the user is a child. Seems if the customer base has concerns, or is at least unclear on the topic (which the countless complaints on the web would indicate they are), I would have hoped that apple would have at least dignified it's customers with a response.
I've read other posters respond to this line of question, with short answers, and attempt to dismiss the issue and question through shaming someone for even questioning the functionality, but these are legitimate questions. If apple can not, or will not respond, I suspect there will be more returns of the product than anticipated.

I have the new 6th Gen Nano,AC charger?

Hello,
I have a new 6th gen Nano, and I usually charge it using the usb thru my pc, but I dont use my pc that often.
I still have my old ac charger (A1205) with an 5v output from my 1st gen iphone, can I use this charger for my new Nano? please advise.

All I need is fact.
The fact of the matter is you won't know unless you at least try it just as the previous poster suggested that you do!
If you are worried about damaging your iPod, post in the iPhone forum area, call Apple Care, iPod tech support and read the user manual for the proper equipment to use.

I Just bought a used 6th gen nano. But when I plug it into my usb it says " an ipod had be detected but cannot be identified properly". I registered it also. What am I doing wrong?

I Just bought a used 6th gen nano and when I plug it into the usb it says on my itunes page "an ipod has been detected but cannot be identified properly". I have already registered it. What am I doing wrong? Is it a faulty one?

The following document might be worth a try with that:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'

I just got the 6th gen nano...

I just got the 6th gen nano and when i try to touch the apps it comes up with a square outline around the app symbol and I can drag that outline around the screen and onto the clock, battery symbol, etc. How can I fix this?

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 wont connect to computer or itunes.

Alright so when i connect it itunes identifys that i have plugged in an ipod but it cant properly identify it, usually when you plug in a new ipod you give it a name and all that, but i cant even get that far. My itunes is updated and ive unplugged and plugged in my usb's multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times, used to safely remove hardware button to reconnect it, and turned off my firewall, it seems ive tried everything and its not working.. im about to just take it back becuase im begining to think its defective. It wont show up as a driver on my computer either, and ive tried resetting it without itunes, nothing seems to be working... if theres something i missed leave a post ill try it and get back to ya(:
:EDIT: ive also followed the entire apple troubble shooting page for the 6th gen nanos and it didnt help me at all D:

The older pods are different from the newer ones. The newer ones need some software to be working correctly that the older ones don't.
It sounds like the apple USB stuff is not installed correctly for you. Here is an article from apple on what to do:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Some other things to keep in mind:
- Don't connect the iPod through a USB hub
- Connect it directly to the computer through a USB port on the back, not one in the front. The USB ports on the front of Windows based systems are notoriously underpowered.
hope that helps,

Power Button Stuck on 6th Gen Nano

Hi,
If the Power button gets stuck (in the "ON" position) on my 6th gen Nano, and the device is less than a year old, can I still get Apple to replace it with a new one --- even if all I have is just the serial number on the device and nothing else?
Or do I need the receipt, and original box & packaging, etc...
Thanks.

You are still under warranty for a repair. Call Apple tech support and report the problem to them.
Have you considered purchasing AppleCare? Extends your warranty 2 more years.

HOW do I get the "watch" to stay on and not shut off on my 6th GEN NANO?

After purchasing a $70 cool watchband for my new 6th GEN NANO, I'm very disapointed that I can't get the "watch" function to stay on more than 15 seconds. AppleCare says that it isn't meant to stay on, it would run down the battery. Then why put on 16 watch faces, and show it as a "watch" on everything you publish? Doesn't make sense you can watch TV shows and movies, but doesn't have enough battery to run a watch face. BAD design, and shame on APPLE for selling a dozen different watchbands in their stores. Now don't you think the store salesman would say "are you thinking of wearing this as a watch, or to hold your NANO while you are at the gym"? 15 seconds is often not enought time to get setup and take someone's blood pressure. I don't think I need to offer an explanation of WHY a watch should work more than 15 seconds without pushing a button, do I?

This is getting silly, but I'm not too young to remember the early digital watches. The difference is that we knew what we were buying . jThey were upfont about the FACT that the watches didn't stay on. And how well did they sell as watches? Hmmm I don't think any of us said that Apple was pushing Nano primarily as a watch. That said, this is not a third party "app" either .... 18 clock faces come with the Nano as a "feature" of the product. It's not a "digital time read out"... it's made to look and act like a watch. Apples own website touts that you can change its face "to match your mood or your outfit".... The bands they sell range from $20 bucks to like $150 bucks.... This is a HUGE money maker for them. It is THESE KINDS OF FEATURES that brings people back buying new ipods, because like I said, without them, I have plenty of devices that already "record music", or "store pictures". And your other points have zero merit. Go to the Apple website to the Nano 6 page where Apple touts all of its merits. This is where Apple explains the features of their product. There is a whole section:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
Clock faces. Time to match your mood. Or your outfit.
(copy below)
It’s all in the wrist.
Do you wear your iPod nano on a watchband? With 18 different clock face designs to choose from, you can have a new watch style whenever the mood strikes you. Sport an analog face for a formal event, go digital for a retro feel, or choose a whimsical, animated character like Mickey Mouse or Kermit the Frog. There are also color options so you can match the color of your iPod nano. iPod nano watchbands are available in a range of styles and colors from theApple Online Store.
And last, for the record Sir, I have probably purchased 50 Apple products for myself, my business, and as gifts in the last 10 years. I have had my manufacturing issues which Apple always responsibly took care of. But I have NOT ONCE complained in this forum about ANYTHING. I am a HUGE Apple fan. I felt strongly enough, that this issure warranted warning others about. Mostly, I wanted APPLE to understand the gaff and perceptual problem which was created. Perhaps not to all (like to you), but certainly to some (obviously like me). Let's face it, we BOTH represent groups of the public, like it our not. Especially, since I rarely talk to Apple staff, I'm an early adopter, and for some reason, I hesitated on this product and did talk to a couple staff members when I was in the store FOR OTHER THINGS. I bought one for myself, and three for gifts. I've already returned the ones I bought as gifts, because when I showed my neices and nephews MINE, and the disfunction of the watch, they all lost interest in keeping theirs, and opted for other Apple devices instead. And if you still don't think they are marketing this Nano as a watch more than iphone, touch, pad, or classic, then I throw up my arms, and say Happy New Year. You are Apple washed and whipped beyond repair. NOBODY is perfect, not even Apple. Or, you.

Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
Thx

It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

HT1459 my 6th gen nano stopped working and is not recognized by my computer or in itunes. I tried rebooting with directions, it still doesn't work. I've tried pluggin into power source and pushing the on off button with the volume down button- this doesn'

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?
