6th Generation Nano Marking Podcasts as Played and Won't sync Partial
I recently received a 6th generation Nano and I'm having a problem with syncing my podcasts. There are two things I noticed.
As soon as I start listening to a podcast on the device, the blue dot that indicates that podcast is unplayed is gone, whereas on my iphone4, the blue dot shows as partial when I start playing the podcast.
Then when I sync the nano to my PC, it does not put the partially played podcast back onto my nano. When I look at the podcast in my iTunes, it shows as partial. In order for me to get my podcast to show up on my nano, I have to manually check the box for the partial podcast and include it on the device.
This does not happen at all on my iPhone 4. This only happens on my iPod Nano.
Is this an issue or is this working as intended? If it is intended, is there a workaround?
These settings have been buggy on previous iPods as well and were fixed with updates. I ended up either syncing to smart playlists or setting podcasts to sync all episodes. I never keep old episode so these settings work for me.

second 6th generation nano..again with the same problem..screen is black will not turn on but am able to touch screen and get music/radio to play...able to touch around on screen from memory..nano is recognized in itunes and computer..but screen will not turn on..called customer support today..of course out of warranty but was told that it sounds like my backlight is burnt out and that's all i need fixed, told that it shouldn't be that expensive (live in myrtle beach SC) and that my screen is fine since i am able to touch around on it...any thoughts?
thanks to all for any advice or input..will try to take to local icitymac store in next couple of days
jennReplacing the backlight usually requires replacing the entire front LCD/digitizer. And yes, it sounds the backlight has burned out.
Keep in mind that if you go the Apple route, they won't actually repair the iPod, but instead will do an out of warranty exchange meaning your current Nano will be replaced with a refurbished model of the same capacity and generation.

My IPod 6th Generation Nano isn't shuffling. I press the shuffling choice on play music. The same song plays over and over again. What do I need to do?
It sounds like the Repeat setting has been turned on/enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to disable it.

In a car ride, we hear the same songs twice even though there is over 24 hours of music on it
Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple. -
My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this? I updated both windows and iTunes.
Work through all the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

I updated iTunes and now my 6th generation nano can't be properly recognized now.
I recently updated my iTunes after holding off for a bit and now my 6th generation Nano wn't be recognized in iTunes but is recognized on the computer.
The message I get is this "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
I did this and still get the same message.
I found this article on the apple website http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218 which specifically deals with this problem. I went through all the steps including uininstalling and installing iTunes and still nothing.
I called apple but they told me I need to buy some 20 dollar phone help plan in order to even talk to anyone since I bought it back in 2010. I won't be doing this.
Can someone plase help me!!Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.
Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz
There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
You really should be backing up your data on your computer. -
I purchased the earpods with mic & controls and the features don't work with 6th generation nano--is this normal?
Hi there,
According to the product page:
The remote and mic are supported by all models of iPod, iPhone, and iPad (not all models support volume up/down functions). Audio is supported by all iPod models.
Your iPod Nano may be one of the models that does not support the volume up/down function. Take a look at the page below for more information.

I have an iPod Nano 6th Generation for just over three months and the down volume button is sticking. Does anyone have a recommendation for resolving?
Dont buy this model again, this is the most common problem and i have gone through 4 of these 6th gen nanos all with the same problem. You can find youtube videos that show you how to fix it yourself but you run the risk of breaking your ipod, also opening the ipod voids any warrently.

My 6th generation nano apears to have locked up. The screen is on, but Ipod does nothing. The Ipod will not turn off, and a buzzing noise is heard through the headphones. What can I do??
Hello houseman06
Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

Why my 1st generation nano earbuds not working with 6th generation nano?
Hi there,
I had a 1st generation iPod Nano and Apple just replaced it with a 6th generation nano, however the earbuds jack of my 1st gen does not fit all the way into the 6th gen, it leaves a tiny bit outside and I couldn't push it all the way in, though I could hear sounds through the earbuds. Is there anyone out there that experience this? I thought the earbuds connector is universal.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related to the earbuds not fitting all the way in. My new Nano shuts itself off about 1 minute or 2 after I turn it on, I am thinking it may think there is no earbuds connected to it, could this be why?
Thanks for any help!
Ray.Push harder, the headphone jack on the 6 is very tight when new.
