Brand new nano 7th gen, firmware file corrupt, running windows 7

brand new nano 7th gen, running windows 7, on first plugin I get the message "the ipod XXXX could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt"  The strange thing is that it gave my nano a name - maybe confused with an old ipod??

I have the same issue.  IPOD just arrived, connected to itunes, corrupt!

  • Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound!

    Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound. I've tried 3 different headphones, turned volume up, watched the bar indicate the song is on play, cannot find a mute switch (or indicator on screen) and can't understand why I can't hear music. Can there be an earphone jack problem on a brand new Nano? Help please!

    Are the headphones plugged all the way in? Does the FM radio work?

  • I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that i sync from my mac.  The problem is, it stops at the end of each CD.  How can I get it to continue on to the hanks, Wendy

    I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that I sync from my Mac.  The problem is that it stops at the end of each CD (very annoying).  How can I get it to continue on the the next CD?  Thanks, Wendy

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

  • Brand new ipod 7th gen wont syn or turn on, please help!

    Just tried to syn my brand new ipod nano 7th generation but have encountered problems that I'm certain should not be happened as this has never happened to me before now.
    Firstly, it said that I had to update itunes, which I did.
    Then, registered my ipod but it wouldnt sync and everytime I tried plugging it in an icon flashed up that said it was corrupted. This was followed by another window telling me to update my ipod. Clicked on it and a strange white screen came up on the ipod screen that said ok to disconnect with a tick (but not how it usually looks) I have tried resetting it several times by holding down the "sleep" button and then the screen just went black - not the apple logo to say that it was resetting or anything.
    Now it wont turn on or register when I plug it into itunes...
    Anyone got any suggestions or solutions? Thanks

    Whats ur warrenty on it?
    Just go return it for a new one if its brand new and they will give u a new one. Thats the easiest solution as far as Im concerned

  • Does ipod nano 7th gen download apps

    does ipod nano 7th gen download apps like running apps, exercise apps, etc

    No. There are no third party apps for the iPod nano 7th gen. The only apps are the ones pre-installed.

  • IPod nano 7th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize Headphones

    I have a brand new iPod nano (7th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted or that the headphone jack has dust inside. As i always do on a regular basis with mp3 devices, i cleaned out the jack to be sure
    This is what happens:
    When music is not playing i hear a crackle pop sound every 2 seconds or so. My headphones are perfectly fine and work with my Samsung galaxy s4 and my old iPod touch, and my brothers iPhone. Just don't work with iPod nano. I have 3 pairs of headphones all which do not work but I do not have the original headphones. they are so uncomfortable and seems unfair to me that apple would have a one size fits al headphone that only works with the device. I do not intend on switching.
    When I play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if I let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the iPod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
    When I try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
    Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iPhone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the iPod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
    I have also restored the device in iTunes, and updated with no luck.....
    Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the nano's headphones jack.  It should "click" into place.  The fit may be tighter than expected, especially when new.  There is a sensor in there, and if the plug is not completely inserted, you may get some sound, but the nano will not "sense" the headphones.
    If that is not the problem, you should have the nano looked at under warranty.  It should work with any standard headphones. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.

  • I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

    I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it.  So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it.  Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one?  I only have about 30.

    AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
    if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup.

  • Making new ipod nano 7th gen an exact copy of old ipod nano 5th gen?

    I just purchased the new ipod nano 7th gen, I have an ipod nano 5th gen, and I'm wondering if there is a simple way of making the new nano an exact copy of the old one, e.i. all the same content, settings, etc? I read through the manual and couldn't find anything about it. Thanks for any help!

    He is right that if you want to copy the content, do it through iTunes. As for the settings, some aren't identical with the 5g. For example, there is no option to edit menus or the main app icons (adding/removing) like in previous iPod nanos. I hope the put this feature back in soon.
    Your best bet is to just go through the settings by hand again; there aren't that many. Sorry if this isn't the answer you were hoping for.

  • Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

    I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
    I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
    So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

    Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
    Happy New Year to you all.

  • Does the new Ipod Nano (7th gen?) have a Lock?

    The older ipods had Lock Buttons. How do I 'lock' or prevent my Nano (7th gen I think) from turning on when I don't want it to.

    Press the sleep button on the top. Hold it down if you want to completely shut down the Nano.

  • Does anyone know the battery life (how many hours)of new ipod nano 7th gen while using bluetooth?

    Hoping to find out the battery life of the new nano (7th generation) while using bluetooth.  Has anyone found out how many hours the new one gets with BT? 
    I have the 6th generation nano, and while using bluetooth it only makes about 3 hours before being fully drained. 

    About 9 hours continuous runtime with BT + music playback in this review at least - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/apple-ipod-nano-seventh-generatio n/P5
