6th Gen nano,

Never had a problem with my 6th gen nano until now. Can't move songs from iTunes to it any more.Keep getting error stating Unable to Sync unknown error 13019. Any suggestions?

I believe that the screen is bigger.
I predict the Nano to be an epic failure. One has to wonder how the iPod team could possibly trash the elegant and highly functional G5 and replace it with......@#$%
That's very similar to what people said about the Mini. Smaller, too expensive. Turned out to be the one of the best selling iPods ever.
The new Nano was the only new iPod that really grabbed me. I ordered one as soon as the speech was over. I have one of the, I believe, 3rd gen Nanos, which was also squarish. Loved the shape. As I primarily use my Nano for running, video capture and playback never really mattered to me. I like the small size. I have a couple of Shuffles which are nice enough but I really don't like the lack of screen.
I think this Nano has huge potential.

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.

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.

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?

6th gen nano not recognized by win7, nor itunes

i've been using my 6th gen nano for a few months now with no problems. suddenly today, i plugged it in and it wasn't recognized by windows and doesn't show up in itunes.
i keep getting errors stating the unknown device is not recognized. i've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers in the Device Manager. i've tried everything on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. i've also uninstalled, reset, and reinstalled itunes...twice. i've also reset the 6th gen nano several times by holding down the - volume button and sleep button.
the weird thing is, when i plug in my 2nd gen shuffle, it's instantly recognized by win7 and itunes. same thing for my 1st gen nano (using the same cable and USB port).
itunes 10.1.1.4

Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

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:

My apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

my apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

Hi fejevitzky,
Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.

Linking multiple Nike+ Sensors to 6th Gen Nano

Is there a way to link multiple Nike+ sensors to a 6th Gen Nano? I have the Nike+Sports kit with that sensor. I would like to link the sensor that I use with my touch to the nano also.
Please point me in the directions of the correct instructions.
I've tried to link, but the Nano doesn't see the new sensor.
thanks

anyone have any experience with this?

Can I somehow teach my 6th gen Nano to tell me how far I've walked in miles rather than "steps," by telling it how long each of my steps is?

Using the pedometer in a 6th gen Nano:
Currently, it (very accurately) tells me how many steps I've taken when I go for a walk. Works fine.
Meanwhile, on my own, I carefully calculated how far each of my "steps" is (2.231 feet/step, in case you're curious).
Thus, after each walk, I multiply the number of steps I've gone by 2.231 to get the number of feet I have traveled, and then divide by 5,280 to get the exact distance I've traveled in miles.
While this system works fine enough, I'd like to avoid having to do a bunch of arithmetic after each excursion. So I ask:
Is there any way to input into the Nano the exact distance of each of my personal steps, and then have the Nano automatically display to me the distance of a walk in mile units of measurement, rather than (or perhaps in addition to) simply the number of "steps" I've taken?

I am working with the very same concept for my project and the auto fade in and out has messed everything up. If I hear or a fix I'll be sure to reply here to let you know!

My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano. i have unstalled and reinstalled itunes. any other suggestions.

My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano. I have un then reinstalled itunes as I was prompted. Still nothing. My account is up to date and my last purchase was a few weeks ago. Apple wants me to purchase @ 29.99 an opportunity to speak to a tech. Hoping someone out there can offer some assistance. Thanks.

Hi jim2744,

6th gen Nano not appearing in iTunes with OS X 10.7.2

And a couple more suggestions.
The Generic PCL Laser Printer included with Lion will only print in black and white. So open Print & Scan, select the Konica printer, click on Options & Supplies and then select the Driver tab. Ensure this does not show Generic PCL Laser.
And, there is also a Generic Postscript printer driver included with Lion that does print in colour. So to rule out an issue with the KM driver, create another queue to the printer but this time select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu and see if this prints in colour.

6th gen nano - headphone jack won't hold.

I just got the shiny new 6th gen nano from the 1st gen replacement program. I tried 3 different headphones and the connector won't stay in. It feels like the jack is too big. I was using these headphones just fine with the 1st gen nano. Is the jack on the 6th gen different, or did I perhaps get a defective replacement?

Nothing wrong with that. Glad to hear that it resolved the issue.

Ihome ip37 compatibile with 6th gen nano?

I have a 6th generation nano and today received a gift of an ihome ip37 portable dock/speaker system. The ip37 says I shouldn't use it without installing one of the inserts provided that surrounds the jack that the nano connects to. The inserts are obviously designed to cradle a nano or other ipod securely while connected. None of the inserts provided allow the 6th gen nano to be connected. Does anybody have any experience with the ip37 and the 6th generation nano? Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can try it without the inserts. Just be careful not to force the Nano onto the dock connector, and make sure you are not putting too much sideways or front-to-back pressure on the Nano dock connector. The inserts are designed to reduce the strain on the dock connector, but the Nano is so short in height that it is harder to apply leverage that could damage either device.

6th Gen Nano - Sound Check doesn't work

Hi
The sound level on my 6th Gen Nano is all over the place. There is a big variance in volume from one song to the next which is both annoying and dangerous to my hearing. The Sound Check function is turned on in both the Nano settings and iTunes.
Does anyone know a fix to this before my ear-drums blow out?

Sound check is basically useless. Hasn't worked effectively on any model I've purchased. However, as others have pointed out, you can adjust the volume of a song so that your playlists don't cause public embarrassment. Simply do a control "i" on a particular song. In the "info" tab, you can increase or decrease the volume of a particular tune. However, if you make the adjustment, be sure to adjust all of the tune from that album. Otherwise, when you play the album, the song you tweaked will have a different volume from the rest of tunes on the album. It ain't a great fix... but it's better than what the programmers have done with sound check.

6th Gen nano,
