Cover flow on ipod nano not working

My cover flow on my ipod stopped working when i plugged in ipod. Have the covers on itunes just not ipod. Also songs skip to next song sometimes also. Could be any song I never know. Seems since i upgraded to new itunes version stuff has been going wrong.

Try checking your ipod settings, i had an itunes one change on its own once. Go to settings, then general, then rotate. If it says "off", then just hit the center button. If it says "cover flow", then see if it's the orientation sensor by going to the "maze" game if you have it to test it. The circle thing on the menu will probably glitch up/not move if it's the orientation sensor. If it responds normally (rolls/slides in the direction you tip the ipod), then i'm not sure. Try calling their customer service line at 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) if that happens. Also, if you are walking w/ it with the hold switch off, then it may me that your walking is shaking it enough to shuffle it. That's my theory, anyway.
BTW, are you're sure the ipod's not too flat for the sensor to register the rotation? I've done that before. It'll register at about a 45 degree angle.

  • Cover flow and "enhanced interface" not working on iPod

    I have an 80gb iPod classic video and it does not have the cover flow feature or "enhanced interface". I have updated the iPod software to version 1.2.3.
    Thoughts?

    *there's no way to download this feature?*
    No I'm afraid there's not. I think it is safe to say that going on past model changes the interface will not be added retrospectively. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The new changes are much more extensive than that one was so I wouldn't expect to see Cover Flow or any aspects of the new interface added through an Apple firmware update to earlier models.

  • 6th Generation iPod Nano Not Working

    So I purchased a 6th iPod nano just last month and had it sent to me via mail. I took it out of the packaging and had turned it on and charged it and it seemed to work so I threw away the packaging and receipt.
    However, I just tried putting music on it yesterday, and it will not work. I bought all of the music from iTunes and its in my library and the music works fine there, but then when I unplug my iPod, half of the time it says that I haven't synced it and there's no music on it, and the other half of the time the music is there, but the cover art is contorted and it will play one or two seconds of the song and then skip to the next.
    I tried messing with it for an hour and a half and its still doing this. Is there anything I can do in this situation? I'm extremely displeased and I need my iPod for a lengthy plane ride I'm going on.

    Hi aseda26,
    Are you using the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried resetting your iPod to factory settings? You can find directions to do this at the link below. This usually helps clear up any software bugs you might be having.

    If it still isn't working and you purchased it less than 30 days ago, I would encourage you to bring it back to your local Best Buy store so we can try to troubleshoot and exchange it for you if necessary.

  • Cover Flow on Windows XP not working, any suggestions?

    I recently had a problem with my HP computer (certainly not the first) and had to recover it using recovery disks. Of course I lost everything and when I reinstalled iTunes, the cover flow option wasn't available. I have tried looking everywhere and performing the nesscessary steps to get it to work. It did work before my computer had to be restored. I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the latest updates. I checked the bit-rate, I guess you could call it and is at 32-bit. I turned up the hardware acceleration to full (it was already up there) and I downloaded a version of DirectX and it still does not work. If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated. I am technology-challenged.
    Thanks!

  • 4th generation ipod nano not working

    All of the sudden my 4th generation, 8GB ipod nano isn't working. I had a 2004 G4 aluminum Powerbook that started to go so I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago. On my Powerbook, the screen all of the sudden went dark. I researched what might be the cause and found it to possibly be the inverter board. I bought the part and installed it to no avail. Which probably means it's the mother board... which is why I bought the new Macbook. Before the screen went dark, my left USB port and audio in was having problems (probably the mother board dying). I would always charge my ipod from that left USB port. Could this be why now it's acting up and not even recognizing it on my old Powerbook and new Macbook? When I plug it into either computer, the apple start up screen shows, then it shows the "Low Battery" screen, then it briefly shows my playlist, movies, etc. screen... and then goes back to the apple start up screen, and filters through this process as I keep it plugged in. I'm assuming the worst but hopefully there's a solution and I won't have to now buy a new ipod   Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    Anyone ever had this problem before?

  • NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

    Hi Guys,
    I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have.
    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
    The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    How long was it "stuck?"
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • IPod Nano Not Working In Car

    I have an ipod nano and if i am sitting at home the ipod works great thru the ear-buds, however if i walk out to my car and try to listen to it in my car thru the same ear buds it does not work at all. it shows it is playing, but no sound. as soon as i get out of the car it works again. Any help would be great.

    thatis really weird...you should be able to even though that is very unsafe because you need to be able to hear fire truck and police sirons...you can by an itrip from http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripnano/index.php or as a cheaper obtion get this... http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72802/wo/vl30tOP xBJ553x2N5WHxF40TTzS/2.SLID?mco=AFDE31D0&nplm=TA381LL%2FA

  • Ipod nano not working on my computer

    I have the new 6th gen nano, 8gb, and it wont work on my pc. i get the "itunes has detected an ipod but it cant be identified" error. im not sure thats exactly what it says, but im sure you know what I mean. i tried reinstalling itunes, uninstalling the ipod in device manager an letting windows reinstall. only thing i havent is uninstall everything apple/ipod related, and reinstall, such as bonjour, ipod updater, apple device helper, etc. seems liek a long process.

    Few suggestions:
    - Connect it directly to your computers USB port, not through a hub.
    - Disconnect all other USB items aside from your mouse and keyboard
    - If the above does not work, create a new user account on your computer. Restart in that account and connect and see if it works. If it does work, you know you have something installed under the other account that is getting in the way
    - If none of that works, do the FULL uninstall/reinstall thing. Here is a link to walk you through it:

  • New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

    I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

    I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.

  • Ipod nano not working with my Ipod / Itunes setup

    I have just bought a 30 GB Ipod and set this up on my Dell Windows XP computer. This works fine and I have been able to synchronise the majority of my music with it.
    At the same time, however, I bought my daughter a 2 gb nano. This I cannot get to work on the same computer, even though it recognises it as a different source. It won't let me set up a specific playlist for the nano, or manually add music files.
    Is there some restriction on using 2 ipods together on one machine that I should be aware of?

    You can use two or more iPods on one computer. There are a couple of methods. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Are you getting any error messages when you try to set up your playlists or drag your music manually?: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
