6th gen nano. will not remember which song I was on if paused (sleep) or turned off. Defaults to some random song in list and to shuffle mode. I have to go back to songlist and try to remember what song I was listening to (ridiculous). Any way to fix?

I tried just leaving the player in the paused/sleep mode instead of turning it off (someone said it will stay on the song you were just listening to--but no). Still goes back to nowhere (now playing = random and shuffle). I've read that this is a serious problem with the 6th gen. I don't use or like the shuffle feature. I use a sort list in my songlists to play in the order I want. I just want the player to remember which song I left off on and pick it back up from there when I get back to it. I have a 5th gen nano and 2 classics and they work great at going right back to where you left off. Seems like a no brainer to have it remember which song you were on in a songlist and not go back to a random shuffle (now playing) and hear the same song over. Anyone know any tricks to resolve this?
Thanks

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong.

My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong? I tried to turn it on, and putting on my charger and It won't respond in any way.

I've just had mine returned from Apple unrepaired after sending it off with the same problem after 6 months.
Apparently there was liquid damage so they won't repair it!
This was news to me, as I have looked after my iPod and it has never been near any liquids. The only thing I can think of is that it was caused by humidity due to jogging with it, which is an activity targeted by this product. So that's £130 down the drain!
If you search nano and humidity/jogging/sweating etc on here you will find hundreds of similar complaints. As far as I'm concerned the 6th Gen Nano is not fit for purpose.
It's the last Apple product I will ever buy.

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?
(if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

I am new to this but need help. Lion and iCloud have never worked on my desk top or MacBook Pro. Slow or Stop! Is there any way to fix the problem?

We need more information. I'm not sure what you mean by both Lion and iCloud have never worked.

How do I fix this?! Certain songs on my 6th gen nano will no longer play AT ALL, but they used to.

6th Gen iPod Nano will not play certain songs; it just skips over them to a song that WILL play. These are all songs that PREVIOUSLY played without any issue. They still play fine in iTunes on my computer. All mp3 format. Tried restoring several times. I've looked around online and have found that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue; however, I have yet to find any solution to the problem. Help!

Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

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.

My 6th gen nano will go to sleep after 1min. if I don't keep touching the sceen or pushing the buttons. How can I get this function to turn off?

I can't relax and listen to music as my nano will go to sleep after just one minute of not touching it. This is really irritating and needs to get fixed. Can anyone help? I've read the manual and it doesn't say anything about my problem.

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark. The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

7th gen nano will not sync with I tunes 64 bit on windows 8.1

Apparently there was a thread regarding this a day or so ago and someone posted that you have to hide the left tool bar. I cannot find the function under the view menu to do so. Can someone possibly explain why this is happening. Its not that my music will not sync. Its that the I Tunes cant even see the ipod.

backroll2blind,

IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
But do this first:
hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

HT4913 If the music library on my iPhone will be deleted when I enable iTunes Match, does that mean that I will not be able to access that music library when I temporarily turn off iTunes Match on the iPhone, e.g., when on the subway & can't connect to Ma

I have subscribed to iTunes Match and have employed it to listen to music on my Macbook Air and iMac. On these devices it seems to operate by streaming music to the device rather than deleting the device's current iTunes library and downloading songs as they are played from iTunes Match. Not so on the iPhone as far as I can tell. Consequently, to date I have not activated iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S. I presently have 40-50GB's of music on my iPhone, sync'd from my iTunes music library on my Macbook Air. I am concerned that if I enable iTunes Match on my iPhone I will lose the music library already on my iPhone, as Apple seems to be representing that once iTunes Match is enabled on the iPhone the current music library, carefully compiled, will be gone from the iPhone forever (unless I later re-sync it from the iTunes library on my laptop), that it will be deleted. Although this would free up a lot of space on my iPhone, I bought the 64GB phone just so that I could keep a lot of music on it and accessible at all times. I am concerned that in certain instances, say if I am in the subway and want to listen to music on my iPhone but don't have internet access below ground, that I won't have much music to listen to, only those songs previously played and thus downloaded onto the phone from iMatch, presenting me witrh a rather limited choice of music to play instead of the 40-50GB's I now have to choose from. Apple seems to have presented me with the choice of the lesser of 2 evils: i) enable iTunes Match and lose the music library already on the iPhone in exchange for access to iTunes Match and a greater number of songs than I can fit onto the phone (my library exceeds the phone's capacity) when a Cloud connection is available or ii) don't enable iTunes match and limit myself to only those songs, a considerable portion of my library to be sure but not all of it, that I can fit in the phone's storage space, i.e., the 40-50 GB's I have on there now. If I choose the latter course, each time I purchase an album I'll have to delete another album to make room for it on the phone. Apple thus offers me a sort of Hobson's choice, bad all the way around. Do I have this right? The Apple techs I've spoken to don't seem to have a handle on the "deletion" aspect of enabling iTunes Match on the iPhone. Right now, I'm too scared of "losing" my iPhone music library to enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. [Possible work-around, albeit a pain in the ***: I suppose that I can enable iTunes Match on the iPhone and spend the next couple of weeks 24/7 downloading songs from my iTunes Match library back onto the phone to replace at least some of those deleted when Match was enabled, thereby rebuilding a proxy library on the phone itself to play when I'm stuck in a tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan while maintaining access to thee larger iTunes Match library, more music than my phone will hold, once we come back into the light and my Cloud connection is restored.] Comments, suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

My ipod (6th gen nano) is not being recognized

I was moving some music on to it, decided to update itunes, and the moment it updated my ipod stopped being recognized. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod, and restarted the computer- all, multiple times. Thoroughly unimpressed and not sure how to get this working. Please help?

Hi, SFletches.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

My dock does not show what files are open... Any way to fix?

My dock does not show if a file is open. No little arrow shows up, and when I click and hold on an icon of an open program it acts as if it is not open (still giving me the open program option, and not showing me force quit options, etc...).
Advice please?

This issue makes me wonder what "genius" at Apple designed the new Dock display. I'm by no means old or losing my sight, I wear glasses but other than that no problems. So why is it so difficult to see those balls under the active apps? They are so blended in that it's not easy to see them at a glance. Why not at least give us the option to adjust those settings.

Verizon lied to me about my bill. I will not pay ONE PENNY more as long as the phone is turned off. You are holding my health hostage. I will find a new company.

I was told if I paid the past due the phone would be left on and I could pay the rest after the first of the month. Now I am told unless I give Verizon a postdated check my phone will be off even though I made an online payment for the past due amount. I cannot make a payment until after the first of the month. I am diabetic and live in the boonies. I NEED MY PHONE. If you won't turn it back on I am left with no choice but to find another carrier. Verizon will be paid at the rate of $5 per month until paid off since I will be making payments on my new phone and can't afford both. This all started when I tried to make an online payment and it didn't go through and I didn't realize it. I didn't know the payment hadn't gone through until a month later. Verizon is too expensive and I am tired of dealing with you.

This all started when I (you) tried to make an online payment and it didn't go through and I (you) didn't realize it. I (you) didn't know the payment hadn't gone through until a month later.
How is that Verizon's fault?

6th gen nano. will not remember which song I was on if paused (sleep) or turned off. Defaults to some random song in list and to shuffle mode. I have to go back to songlist and try to remember what song I was listening to (ridiculous). Any way to fix?
