6th generation nano screen black but able to touch screen from memory to get music to play..called customer support they said it's the backlight since touch screen can still be touched and music can be played..any thoughts?

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

Replacing 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.

I can't get into my Apple TV show because they said I had the wrong ID - Password. So I changed it through ITunes, i still can't get on to Apple tv

Help????
I can't get into my Apple TV shows because they said I have the wrong ID/Password. So I went to ITunes like they told me to and changed it all. I still can't get into Apple TV. Any suggestions???

If you've not done so unpower and restart it after 30 secs or so.
`You will presumably have checked all your credentials and password are correct.
If still playing up I'd probably go to Settings menu and reset everything - you'd need to then enter all ID credentials etc again.
If that still failed I'd factory restore via iTunes with a microUSB cable.

I have purchased Black Jack Pro - G 3 Studios. It will not work. It come up but immediately flips off. I called apple Support and they said delete it and re-down load. I have tried that many times. When I go to App store and try to re-download - it comes up "Downloaded" - as in you alreadly have purchased it. Always before on other Apps, I just delete and repurchase and when it comes up OK. But this one comes up "Downloaded", so it will not let me repurchase it.
It still does not work- How do I get it to work?

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

My 6th generation nano is stuck in diagnostic mode. I tried resetting it but itunes does not recognize it. I've tried holding down various combinations of sleep, volume up and down without any success. Any thoughts?

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions?

My ipod nano 6th generation has a black spot on the screen

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.

I am using usb/my keyboard to record an original song. I play the melody on my keyboard but the rhythmic notation shown is not correct. i.e. a dotted 8th and 16th pattern has rests, 32 notes,etc. and most is incorrect. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

What is your GarageBand version? Are you using the most recent GarageBand 10.0.x or an earlier version?

The rhythmic notation in GarageBand is the best estimate, based on the length of the notes you played and the "quantize" settings. You can correct the score somewhat by adjusting the note values in the Piano Roll view and by selecting notes and picking a suitable time quantize setting in the track editor, e.g., if you wanted to play triplets, set the quantize value correspondingly:
But I never could get GarageBand to show the dotted notes and rests correctly.
If your main goal is to create a musical score and not to mix music, better use notation software instead of GarageBand.

How can i transfer my songs from my nano to a new itunes account because when i try to it tells me that i need to errase whatever is on the nanno ans then i can sync whats on my itunes but i want to put these songs and store them onto this new itunes acc

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

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.

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 had this problem. Solution was to move mouse over taskbar icon. When Firefox displays small icon right click this and select maximise window !!! I think somehow Firefox got minimised to the taskbar and would not reopen as a full window. i.e it when you clicked the taskbar icon it would pop up and then pop back down to the taskbar again !!
Hope this helps.

To import all songs on the CD, click Yes in the window that appears. iTunes starts importing the CD.---I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up. How do I fix this? Any thoughts?

You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.
