7th gen Nano won't autoconnect to a previous connected device

I have paired my Nano 7th gen to 4 different devices so pairing is no problem, but normally, like on my iPhone, it should autoconnect when I come back in range. Instead I have to go back into settings and tell it to connect to the device. Then it does and everything is fine, but I don't understand why it doesn't auto-connect to previously paired devices.

I have spent HOURS trying to get my stuff to show on Nike+.  I spent an hour on the phone with Nike, and another hour with Apple, who told me to contact Nike again.  Then I saw up2105's respnse up above and it clicked.....I, too, had been using the WALK option, because I'm trying to get back into shape and I'm not yet up to running 100% of my workout.  And WALK does not show up in Nike+.
I don't even know why WALK is an option, if it won't sync with Nike+.  And why did their techs not mention this to me at the very beginning????  What about older folks who don't run anymore....are their workouts not worthy of charting on Nike+?  Anyway....thank you up2105!!!

  • 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!

    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.

  • New 7th gen nano with Windows 8

    I purchased a new 7th gen nano and iTunes will not recognize it.  I have followed all the steps in support but it still won't work.  Any ideas of what else to try?

    Hi there  - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me) - Windows 8.1 user, 7th generation nano. You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
    1) iTunes
    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support
    Then you restart your computer.
    Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
    Then you restart your computer again.
    Mine is working perfectly again now.
    I hope it works for you,
    Carmen.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

    No news yet up to now but i doubt it would be available anytime soon. cheers!

    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.

  • How do I get my 7th gen nano to play music in specified order?  It either repeats songs endlessly or shuffles; neither do I want it to do.

    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

  • 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.

  • My 7th gen nano ipod is playing everything super-slowly! How do I get the songs to play normally?

    My iPod 7th gen nano is playing songs very slowly. I have reset it and that did not help. In podcasts, when I tap the top, it says "1x" I reset my settings, and that did not help.
    Does anyone know how to get the songs to play at their normal speed?

    Hi tab66,
    Are you setting the Shuffle Albums setting here:
    Settings>Shuffle>Albums
    If you have that last setting = Songs, then it is going to shuffle your songs. If you have it set to Albums, then it should shuffle the Albums but play the songs within the albums in order.
    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.

    Hello zdeans,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1399
    Put iPod into Disk Mode.
    iPod should appear in the iTunes Source pane and on the desktop or in a Finder window, or in the My Computer window.
    If a message appears that says the volume could not be mounted and asks if you want to initialize the disk, choose to initialize iPod's disk. Use Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) if you have a Mac, or FAT32 if you have a Windows PC.
    Warning: This process cannot be undone. All of your songs, videos, and other files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    Follow the steps to update or restore iPod. If you manually put iPod into Disk Mode it may need to be resetbefore you can use it.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
