Can the 6th gen nano survive the washing machine?

It was an accident (of course). Does anyone know if it will come back to life?

not likely but there's a small (~5%) chance it will survive.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

My pc does not meet the minimum operating system requirements for the 6th gen nano. Is there anything I can do to make it work? This was sent to me from Apple after my previous Nano was recalled.

I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

Hey there larkandwarbler,
It sounds like you are experiencing multiple issues with this iPod Nano 5th Gen. From what you are describing it seems we can isolate this to either the software or the hardware on the device with a couple of simple steps assuming you have tried another set of headphones. First, reset your iPod with this article:

How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
iPod models with a Click Wheel include:
iPod nano (5th generation)
iPod nano (4th generation)
iPod nano (3rd generation)
iPod nano (2nd generation)

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If you are able to reset it, but the issue persists, or you are unable to reset it, I would next attempt restoring it with iTunes:

Can the voiceover utility on the 6th gen Nano be accessed with headphones other than the Apple earphones?

Can the voiceover utility on the 6th gen Nano be accessed with headphones other than the Apple earphones?

No I have tried and they don't also my iPod touch 2nd generation doesn't work with voice control unless it has apple earbuds plugged in. I guess apple doesn't want 3rd party brads interfering with their company. Thanks please like

Can I sync TV Shows from my Library to the 6th Gen Nano??

Just got the 6th Gen Nano for my daughter for xmas, went to load several TV Shows currently in my library (and just also downloaded an entire season of a show), that is giving me the message that they won't play on this nano. Am I doing something wrong?? Does this new Nano not play TV Shows or video??

It doesn't play video.

Can there be an update for the 6TH Gen nano to have a calculator?

I think it would be really useful if there was a calculator on the 6th gen nano.

HOW do I get the "watch" to stay on and not shut off on my 6th GEN NANO?

After purchasing a $70 cool watchband for my new 6th GEN NANO, I'm very disapointed that I can't get the "watch" function to stay on more than 15 seconds. AppleCare says that it isn't meant to stay on, it would run down the battery. Then why put on 16 watch faces, and show it as a "watch" on everything you publish? Doesn't make sense you can watch TV shows and movies, but doesn't have enough battery to run a watch face. BAD design, and shame on APPLE for selling a dozen different watchbands in their stores. Now don't you think the store salesman would say "are you thinking of wearing this as a watch, or to hold your NANO while you are at the gym"? 15 seconds is often not enought time to get setup and take someone's blood pressure. I don't think I need to offer an explanation of WHY a watch should work more than 15 seconds without pushing a button, do I?

This is getting silly, but I'm not too young to remember the early digital watches. The difference is that we knew what we were buying . jThey were upfont about the FACT that the watches didn't stay on. And how well did they sell as watches? Hmmm I don't think any of us said that Apple was pushing Nano primarily as a watch. That said, this is not a third party "app" either .... 18 clock faces come with the Nano as a "feature" of the product. It's not a "digital time read out"... it's made to look and act like a watch. Apples own website touts that you can change its face "to match your mood or your outfit".... The bands they sell range from $20 bucks to like $150 bucks.... This is a HUGE money maker for them. It is THESE KINDS OF FEATURES that brings people back buying new ipods, because like I said, without them, I have plenty of devices that already "record music", or "store pictures". And your other points have zero merit. Go to the Apple website to the Nano 6 page where Apple touts all of its merits. This is where Apple explains the features of their product. There is a whole section:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
Clock faces. Time to match your mood. Or your outfit.
(copy below)
It’s all in the wrist.
Do you wear your iPod nano on a watchband? With 18 different clock face designs to choose from, you can have a new watch style whenever the mood strikes you. Sport an analog face for a formal event, go digital for a retro feel, or choose a whimsical, animated character like Mickey Mouse or Kermit the Frog. There are also color options so you can match the color of your iPod nano. iPod nano watchbands are available in a range of styles and colors from theApple Online Store.
And last, for the record Sir, I have probably purchased 50 Apple products for myself, my business, and as gifts in the last 10 years. I have had my manufacturing issues which Apple always responsibly took care of. But I have NOT ONCE complained in this forum about ANYTHING. I am a HUGE Apple fan. I felt strongly enough, that this issure warranted warning others about. Mostly, I wanted APPLE to understand the gaff and perceptual problem which was created. Perhaps not to all (like to you), but certainly to some (obviously like me). Let's face it, we BOTH represent groups of the public, like it our not. Especially, since I rarely talk to Apple staff, I'm an early adopter, and for some reason, I hesitated on this product and did talk to a couple staff members when I was in the store FOR OTHER THINGS. I bought one for myself, and three for gifts. I've already returned the ones I bought as gifts, because when I showed my neices and nephews MINE, and the disfunction of the watch, they all lost interest in keeping theirs, and opted for other Apple devices instead. And if you still don't think they are marketing this Nano as a watch more than iphone, touch, pad, or classic, then I throw up my arms, and say Happy New Year. You are Apple washed and whipped beyond repair. NOBODY is perfect, not even Apple. Or, you.

Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
Thx

It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

I have the new 6th Gen Nano,AC charger?

Hello,
I have a new 6th gen Nano, and I usually charge it using the usb thru my pc, but I dont use my pc that often.
I still have my old ac charger (A1205) with an 5v output from my 1st gen iphone, can I use this charger for my new Nano? please advise.

All I need is fact.
The fact of the matter is you won't know unless you at least try it just as the previous poster suggested that you do!
If you are worried about damaging your iPod, post in the iPhone forum area, call Apple Care, iPod tech support and read the user manual for the proper equipment to use.

I just got the 6th gen nano...

I just got the 6th gen nano and when i try to touch the apps it comes up with a square outline around the app symbol and I can drag that outline around the screen and onto the clock, battery symbol, etc. How can I fix this?

Does the 6th gen nano have a mecanical or piezoelectric accelerometer?

I know that there are basically two types of pedomenters: mecanical/spring action and piezoelectric. They maybe 2 or three axis acceleromenters but when it comes to sensors, its one or the other. One has to be vertical to trigger properlly and the other can be thrown in a pocket because it doesn't have to be in a certain position to work. Now this one says that it has a 3 axis acceleromenter but is that mechanical or piezoelectric? I don't hear a click so that makes me think that it must be piezoelectric but you know what they say about assuming things. I can't find this spelled out anywhere except that in the version that required a shoe sensor had a piezoelectric sensor in the shoe. However they say we don't need the shoe sensor anymore, soooooo....does that mean we have it in the 6th gen nano itself? I'd love to know.

Run-mofo,
That's great news.
The reason I don't just delete the 'feat' bit is three fold:
First, like Erik Dyson, I want things to work properly. Second, I like to know who is being "featured" so, if that track strikes me because of the contribution of the featured artist, I can find more information about the featured artist. Finally, I just like to have as much information accessible to me as possible.
Now, the question is, does my Mini Cooper (BMW) iPod control software will use the iPod OS to identify the artist for the "Artist" category or if the Mini Cooper software will ignore the "Sort Artist" ...

My speaker system won't work with the 6th gen nano

Why won't my Logitech Speaker system for the iPod play or charge my 6th gen nano? It's worked for all of my other nano's. I hope there's no compatability issues.

I'm having almost the exact same problem with my JBL On Stage Micro Speaker (from around 1996) except it charges and syncs my Nano 6G OK. It just won't play the Nano thru the speakers. All my other iPods have played fine sitting in the JBL speaker including my Touch 4G from fall 2010.
The only thing I can think of is that the dock connector in the Nano 6G is wired differently? It would be interesting to hear if anyone has speakers that play using the Nano dock connector. Or if someone from Apple would let us know if the dock connector pin-outs have changed. Very sucky!

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
