Yet another Nano 6th Gen with power button failure

When is apple going to put its hand up and admit there is a problem with the 6th Gen Nano. My daughters 13 month old 16gig ipod has a power button failure the same as so many others. At £120 odd its already an expensive bit of kit without having to purchase an extended warranty. Pay another £50 for a repair and another years use? I dont think so.
I notice the sales pitch boasts the new ipod has been "completely renanoed" Come on Apple why dont you look after the little people and give us a decent trade in on these faulty year old ipods against a new sorted one? Patrick

Well a robust defence of your product Apple well done!

IPod Nano nightmare with Win2K

I've been messing with an iPod Nano for two days now trying to get it to work on an older Compaq (200MB RAM, 750 MHz AMD, Win2K). I added on a USB 2.0 card specifically for the Nano.
I've had nothing but problems getting it to work smoothly. The problem is there are so many problems I can list them. Sometimes when I try to manually update the iPod, the system ejects the iPod then shows me a dialog: "New equipment has been successfully installed. System must be restarted, do you want to restart."
When I click No, disconnect the iPod and reconnect it, then I can sync it.
Still other times, I get variations on "File cannot be found," "Volume doesn't exist," or "This iPod is not properly formatted." When I try to restore using iPod updater, I get the message, "This updater does not support the iPod hardware you have connected." But it is the software I installed off the CD that came with the Nano.
When I plug it into a G5 iMac running Tiger, it works perfect.
aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Juile,
Technical Specifications: iPod nano
1. iTunes 4.9 and later must be installed.
2. Windows system requirements
* PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
* Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
One thing to note that you're Compaq probably does not support USB 2.0. You may want to check if you have Service Pack 4 or later installed.
If you setup your iPod nano first on Mac then the flash memory will be configured to support Mac not PC and visa versa. It would be nice if Apple would allow one common format so Man and PC could be used interchangeably.
In some of the older PC systems after installing the new software its always advisable to reboot. After rebooting if you review the Device Manager located under Control Panel --> System you can see if any of the device drivers are incorrectly installed. If so they will be indicated with a red X showing an error. If everything looks OK here then it might just be the USB interface. There may be some incompatibility running the AMD chipset versus Intel.
Its difficult to tell from your description since Im not sure if the warning/errors youve experienced are from the hardware or software (iTunes, iPod, etc). It would be best to try to narrow these down. The volume problem to me sound like software issues.

Nano nightmare!

Okay, my son is so frustrated. I can't even tell if the 7.0 is actually downloaded because I can't get the itunes to come up. I have 3 people on this computer and what I want to do is set up my son's page to hold his itunes library. I could'nt even get his old library or a cd to load onto his nano. On top of that, I followed the instructions and it kept taking me to this itunes things where i signed up for the 19.95 for one year(out of frustration- I didn't think I was supposed to subscribe to anything!) When I subscribed, it ended up charging me 34.95 and I'm not even sure what I paid for. I know that sounds wierd but it was directly from the itunes website. I have a username, password and confirmation # but I don't think that this was the right path to nano connection! Please help if you can. Thank you.

I'm sorry for your difficulties, but something kinda stands out to me as glaring. As far as I know, there are no subscription services in iTunes. I may be wrong, but you may have been misled.
As to the inability to load the Nano, there are two ways to load it. The easiest being; create a playlist in iTunes (File > New Playlist) then drag the songs you want from the right panel to the new playlist on the left you've created. Once you've filled it with the music you want (as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum memory of the nano), click on your Nano in the left panel. The right panel will change, at this point, select the Music tab. Click the Sync Music tab, a window will pop up, select Sync Music. Then, select the "Selected playlists" button, check mark the playlist you made, and finally click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner.
It should work.

Another Nano Screen Problem!

About a week ago, i put my nano in my pocket. A few minutes later, i took it out. When i took it out of my pocket and turned it on, it looked like the bottom half of the screen was a bar code. It looks as though the top half has been smeared onto the bottom. The music still plays and such, but i cant read anything on the screen. Ive been looking all week for someone else with a post about this and found nothing. Anybody else have this problem?

Managing podcasts on nano nightmare

I uncheck episodes I'm not interested in on the podcast playlist, but they are still on the nano. Do I have to clear/delete them? What if I want to listen to them later? Is there a way to take them off the ipod but keep them on the podcast list?
My kids have shuffles and it is so easy to drag and drop on their ipod screen. The nano has the "grey" entries that cannot be managed without numerous visits to various playlists. Is there an easier way???
Nano Windows XP

Go to iTunes prefs -> iPod and select the Podcasts tab.
This is where you control what is loaded on your iPod.
Set it to Manually manage podcasts, then close the prefs.
In iTunes, click on Podcasts, right below library.
This is the podcasts on your computer.
Drag the ones you want to the iPod.
A blue dot in front of the filename means you have NOT listened to it.
To get them off the iPod, Click the triangle next to the iPod.
Click on Podcasts right under the iPod name. Select the podcasts you don’t want on the iPod and press Delete.

Got an IPOD nanno last year. Used Itunes often and got a lot of music. Bought another nano for a family member who is using their own laptop . Anyway for me to get music from my Itunes library onto family members ipod? Thanks

Can i get music from my itunes library (created with different computer) onto wife's ipod library (created using different computer)? Hope this makes sense

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Nano in the washer died so I'm probably getting another but have a question

If I buy another nano will the new one download the songs we have on the computer from the old nano?
Do I just install the new one and let it do it's thing and hopefully it will load the songs on the computer?
help?

I'll check them out. I'm in Ontario so I checked this site
http://irepair.ca
After I told them that it had been put thru the wash and wasn't turning on or anything they said it would cost more to repair than to replace. I then wondered if it was just the battery but they replied and said if it doesn't come on at all, then the whole thing is cooked. They said that if it was the battery, it would still turn on (or show some signs of life).
I'll check out the link you provided too though!! and thanks for telling me the new one will download the songs already on the computer
Thanks!

How do I add my another Ipod to my Itunes?

I currrently use Itunes with my Ipod Nano. I recently got another Nano for my daughter. She was initially set up on another computer/Itunes, but now we want to manage her Ipod using my Itunes.
How can I manage her Ipod and only load a specific play list(s) on her Itunes? (I don't want my entire library loaded onto hers)
Any help is appreciated.

Simple way is to create playlist for her iPod the set her ipod to only sync that playlist.

Nano not recognized by Windows, help!

I just got a second generation Nano, but whenever I plug it into my USB port it will say the following message:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
I had a first generation Nano that had no problems syncing with iTunes, but that one got corrupted, so I resorted to getting a new one.
I have tried the Five Rs, erased iTunes entirely and redownloaded Version 7.3 by way of the Apple website, and I have gone to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store only to have them give me another Nano with the same results. I don't know what else to do! Please help!

Even if no new drivers are available for your computer, read the last section and update your USB driver.

Try a drive letter Z and do this with all other USB devices other than your keyboard and mouse disconnected (this includes disconnecting your printer).

I've done most I could think of, iTunes refuses to recognize 4 GB Nano

I have the constant "Do Not Connect" screen on my new 4GB Nano.
My wife previously used this computer for her iPod Mini. Before installing the new Nano, I removed iTunes from the computer. Then installed off the Nano's CD. I updated both iTunes and the iPod.
My computer recognizes the Nano as a "Removable Disk." iTunes, however, refuses to recognize it. I have loaded music into iTunes and that will play, but the Nano never works.
So, I unistalled iTunes, then reinstalled off the downloaded version that I saved to my desktop. Still no go.
Then I tried all the steps on iPod shows up in Windows, but not in iTunes -- to no avail.
So, I uninstalled and then reinstalled, without any success. I have reset the Nano several times. I have unplugged the Nano as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking about returning this on for another Nano, and then throwing in the towel.
By the way, I was able to intall another 4GB Nano on my wife's new computer with no problems. The other computer doesn't want to recognize my Nano either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow... the exact same thing has happened to me. First i bought a 2GB iPod Nano from Costco... installed perfectly and I had no problems. The next day I spotted the 4GB Nano and exchanged my 2GB for the 4GB (my sister also puchased and exanged one at the same time as me). My sister hasn't run the iPod software update, and her's works fine. I, meanwhile, installed it onto my iPod... now iTunes doesn't recognize my 4GB nano, and windows only recognizes it at a removable disk. I'm trying to rename the drive letter, but everytime i attempt ANYTHING to do with the nano my computer will freeze. Anyways, I took that one back to Costco and got another one. Yet, being absolutely stupid, I once again installed the update (this was when i thought the iPod was just faulty). I'm stuck in the exact same situation. Again. I've gone through 3 ipods in two days. So, the moral of the story is DON'T INSTALL THE NEW SOFTWARE ON 4GB NANOS! :'( ... Thanks for the warning Apple! Even your website is faulty!
P.S. Buy your iPods at Costco! They are amazing to their customers! (At least my location)

My Nano no long is syncing....how do I get the music from my Nano to my computer?

I have an older IPod Nano but it does not synch anymore when I connect it to my laptop. Do I have to buy another Nano? If so, how do I get the music from my older Nano onto my laptop?
Thanks

Get a CD/DVD drive.

Nano -no sound from Bose docking station

My nano plays sound thru headphones but there is no soung when used on Bose station.It is not the station as I have another nano which plays on it. I have sent the problematic nano back to apple but they found no fault.Ant ideas?

I have tried just now, and my Nano works too.
Have you rechecked the volume limit on your Nano?
The docking of iPod is a two ways traffic, manages to get charge does not mean it can transmit the audio signal from your Nano to your Bose, that why I asked you whether you can play your Nano via connecting with your computer.

How to setup 2 iPods nanos

Recently purchased an iPod Nano for my wife and then month so later I purchased another nano for my daughter, how do I create a new device w/in iTunes.
The new iPod for my daughter is using the same name as the original iPod for my wife. Wife's iPod serial # is now updated...
Any assistance is very much appreciated...

Select one iPod in the iTunes source list, click on its name, type a new name, connect the other iPod, and go through the iPod Setup Assistant if it hasn't already been used; you can then use both iPods one at a time, or simultaneously on some configurations.
