7th gen nano first charge

How long does the first charge take? I've had my new nano for 1 week and am really disappointed with the battery charge.  Have you got any tips?
Thanks.

When I got mine, I charged it for a couple of hours. If you're not using bluetooth, turn it off. Turn down the brightness. When not in use, turn it off completely, do not sleep it.

  • Pressing "shuffle" on my 7th gen Nano will only randomly pick the first song, then repeats it over and over. How do I get "shuffle to work properly?

    Is "REPEAT ONE" highlighted. If it is, touch it to de-select. Cheers!

  • 7th Gen Nano charging issue

    To charge my 7th Gen Nano i have to apply pressure from the back of the charging "head" pulling it up in order for the pins to make contact to charge - I have to do that with any charger I try.  The socket seems very tight when I plug the charger in - any charger - yet it wont maintain contact unless i apply that pressure.  Nothing seems loose in the socket itself - any ideas? 

    Static electricity also depends on the humidity. If you are living in a less humid (to dry) area, static is more prominent. If that too happens when you are touching other stuff other than the ipod, then it is normal.

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • 7th gen Nano won't start

    Brand new 7th gen Nano received as Christmas gift last week will not turn on, even after charging for 48 hours.  No exposure to water, moisture; was not dropped or crushed.  Help.  Thank you.

    Do the reset. Press and hold on/off and home buttons until apple logo appears. Cheers!

  • 7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library.  Ipad and old nano sync fine.  How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

    7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library.  Ipad and old nano sync fine.  How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

    **1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
    iTunes:
    Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
    **2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
    Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
    Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
    *3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
    Connect old nano to computer.
    Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
    Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions.

    Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA) $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • 7th gen nano not recognized by windows 8.1 as a drive OR itunes

    When i plug in (USB) my 7th gen nano, my PC (Windows 8.1) doesn't recognize it as a drive (it pops up as a drive for about 2 seconds then goes away) and itunes says its detected but cant be identified properly.  My 4th gen nano connects just fine.

    Hello Quantum222,

  • Where can I purchase a replacement home button for a 7th gen nano?

    My home button fell out when I dropped the 7th gen Nano and shattered the glass while mountain biking.  I have replacement glass and digitizer in hand but no home button.  I have not been able to get anywhere with my local Apple store in regards to purchasing a new button.
    Any help?

    Tried to repair a toaster lately?
    On a device at this price range it makes no sense to have parts available and have a technician spend an hour replacing the button. They provide you with a service replacement instead, send back your old one and have it totally refurbished. Makes far more economic sense.

  • Will apple release an update for the 7th gen nano to have cover flow?

    Doublechecking. Have you also 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:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My Nike  HRM is not working with my 7th gen Nano

    I got the 7th Gen Nano a few weeks ago and so far I like it very much.  I had a Polar HRM and discovered that my existing HRM transmitter would not
    work with the Nano.  I got the HRM transmitter that says it works with Nike+ and it's not working.  Any suggestions?

    When I plug it in iTunes recognizes my iPod, syncs it, but then the iPod library is grey.
    If the iPod's Music list is greyed out, that usually means the iPod uses automatic syncing.  You cannot change anything directly on the iPod, because you are not manually managing content.  You let iTunes manage the content, based on the settings on the iPod's Music settings screen.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  In iTunes 12, click the "device button" on the horizontal bar (its icon looks like the device).  The iPod's "management" screen comes up, showing the iPod's Summary settings view.  Is the box for Manually manage music checked or not checked?  If it's not checked, you are using automatic syncing.  In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music to show the iPod's Music settings screen and set up (or update) automatic syncing for songs.

    If you are working out with this divide and running it will shake to shuffel and you can go under playlist and add new play list and make that way and you can put them in any order and you can turn off shake to shuffel and the settings under music

    How can you disable the FM radio app on a 7th gen NANO?

    Why would you want to? Unless the app is open, you won't be using the functionaloty or using extra power etc.

  • I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
    On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.
