6th Gen sorting issues

iPod software: 2.0.1
iTunes software:.10.5.1.42
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP 1
I'm a strong supporter of proper sorting. So much so that I add the year of release to the Sorting > Sort Album field to bypass the alphabetical sorting iTunes seems to prefer.
This is a minor issues in the grand scheme, but if someone can identify what I'm doing wrong, that would be awesome.
In the early part of Prince's career, he released music as Prince (1981, 1982, 1987) and also as Prince and The Revolution (1984, 1985). Looking above to how I sort by year of release, I would prefer that these five albums sort chronologically, but with the correct artist names. On the iPod as of now, they sort as Prince (three albums), Prince and The Revolution (two albums), and Prince (three albums) again. Same three albums, same 34 songs, same art, same everything. I can make them sort correctly in iTunes, but not on the iPod.
Thanks for any advice you might have!

I haD the same issue, and was thoroughly ticked off until doing some research and then trying couple things.
I was able to change the volume limit, that WAS set at half.  I adjusted it to max volume, set a lock passcode, and away I drove.
Then, upon hitting "play", I began to get a little ticked off.  I realized after a few minutes, I couldn't hear anything playing.
It was so quiet- and I-95 is noisy, with me regretting buying another Apple product, after is wrote not to.
So- after reading through a couple of these threads, I just adjusted the volume limit, and VOILA!
It reverted to 50%.
So, I did a total wipe, factory-reset it as new iPod.  I checked setting=>volume limit and it was at the 50% point again. First thing that I did was go to the last selection under settings menu, "reset settings" and noted it doesn't delete sync days, solely sys settings.
I adjusted the volume limit to 100% immediately afterwards, set a new passcode and then.....
Hit play.
It worked. Plays just as loud as my original 3rd Gen iTouch. 
So Dylan1219, maybe try that?  It's so simple, I am shocked that's how I fixed it.  It had been set- and always snapped back to the 50% mark.
So, MAYBE that could solve the problem..?  I have hearing loss from rock & roll and concerts, etc...so, thankfully this isn't a bunk product.  Just had a bunk setting. 
It has stayed at Max level for hours now, and can state it solved it for me.
I would hypothesize, all iPod classics are made the same, except for the "options"  of storage and color.  Maybe a small "governor" or a piece of extra firmware is added after the fact, or only "every 9th iPod" who knows for sure...?

  • IPod nano 6th gen digitizer issues

    Hi,
    I recently replaced the battery in my oow ipod nano 6th gen. After replacing everything, it booted up fine, but now the touch screen capabilties are not working. I took apart another oow 6th gen nano and I get the same result.
    I went to the diagnostics menu and whenever I press "Sensor Test" it says Please Wait and will flash back to previous menu. The same happens with "IC version" and when I check for errors, it says No IC error reported. It's a bit confusing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I appreciate your help!

  • Ipod 6th gen nano issue

    I have done the step by step procedure to try and have my computer recognize my new nano and it just wont work.  As soon as I start up my itunes my computer no longer recognizes the nano as a disk drive.  I dont know if its because it is 64 bit or what can anyone provide some help please.

    After I read this post I took a look at my nano (with which I am having volume level issues). I had it set to 'Rock'.
    Having now taken it off that EQ setting - i.e. changing it back to 'none' - the volume has been restored to a more acceptable level! AND, when I adjust the volume up or down on the nano using the buttons, it makes a beep - it wasn't doing that before...
    I think a firmware update is required!

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • Having issues with my external hard drive on 6th gen Airport Extreme

    I recently upgraded from a 5th gen to a 6th gen AEBS.  I'm having several issues with it and my 10.8.4 Macs.
    When I try to mount the self-powered external drive, which appeared to work well with the 5th gen, the disk will often become unreachable.  Then if I open Airport Utility, it will say that it cannot find the router.
    The only way to bring the router back to life is to turn off the drive and unplug it.
    I have 7.7.1 on the AEBS as I upgraded to that right away via my phone, but now I cannot seem to downgrade back to 7.7.  The only reason I want to try this is because 7.7.1 was supposed to *fix* external drive issues, and maybe it made it worse for me (as I never actually tried 7.7)
    Any ideas?

    I don't have any experience with hard drives attached, but I can say that I had a different problem with the 7.7.1 firmware update on a brand new Airport Extreme, and was told by Apple tech support that there was no way to download 7.7 to downgrade.  My only option was the return the Airport and exchange it for a new one.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen in Audi Issues

    Hi,
    I had been using my iPod Nano 1st Gen in my Audi A3 perfectly for a few years now, but following the recent recall I had this replaced with a 6th Gen touch screen.  Since having it replaced I find that it keeps turning itself off and is not being power cycled when I turn over the engine.  My 1st Gen would work automatically, as soon as I started the car the connection would kick in and resume where the music had left off.  Now however when I start the car it tells me there is no CD found.  To resolve the issue I need to power the device manually before it is found.  I was wondering if anyone else has experience these issues?  My car is around 4 years old, do you think it could be a software issue on that side?
    If you require any further information please let me know,
    Dave

    1) Turn it off and back on.  If nothing,
    2) Restore it through iTunes.  Nothing still?
    3) Check the iPod with the Apple store and see what they can do.

  • Issues with syncing 2 IPOD 6th Gen Nano's to one computer

    we have 2 new IPOD 6th Gen.  I can sync mine in ITunes, but when I plug in the 2nd one (which has a different owners name) to sync, the device comes up, but when I hit the sync button nothing is happening.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have an 6th gen Ipod that keeps making me restore it.  How can I fix this issue

    I have a 6th gen ipod that keeps making me restore it.  It says there is another application running somewhere else.  I just want my sons brand new ipod to work without paying apple another $45.00.

    Disable any and all A/V or Security software running on your system before syncing your iPod with iTunes and see if that helps.  A simple reboot your or PC may help as well.
    If you do disable any security software, make sure to re-enable once you have finished syncing the iPod with iTunes.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

    I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
    I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
    I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
    Thanks

    I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
    I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
    I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Bluetooth Headphones not working with the Nano 6th Gen

    I was wondering if anyone else out there has issues with using bluetooth headphone with the new nano. I have a pair of Motorola Motoroka S9 headphones and have to use the D650 Adapter with it and when I plug into the bottom of the iPod I get "Unsupported" Accessory is not supported. As I know Apple hates to put bluetooth in anything other then iPod Touch & iPhones. What's up with that?? All my other nanos 2nd & 3rd Gens work fine with the adapter......but my current and newest one doesn't. Anyone else having that issue?

    How did you reboot the ipod nano 6th gen?
    Two things this thing needs.
    1. Digital / regular watch face combo.
    2. capable bluetooth headphones. Either a plug in add-on to either headphone or multi-pin port. Also a speaker of some sort to tell that an alarm is going off.
    I use alarms on my watch.
    more watch face designs(digital and analogue) would be awesome.

  • My 6th gen nano never works unless connected to my computer

    my 6th gen nano never works unless connected to my computer. I already restored factory settings twice, it's still not working. It automatically turns off when I unplug it from pc.

    If a complete restore of the Nano failed to resolve the issue, the issue is hardware related.  In your case it sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement as it can no longer hold or rebuild any sort of charge.  You can choose to have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service to have them replace the battery for a little less.
    If the Nano is less than a year old, it should still be covered under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects.  In that case, bring to your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and show them what is going on and they should swap it out for you at no cost.
