DO NOT UPDATE IPOD NANO

the newest updater doees not help at all, if u do not have the remote.

i love the updater this is wat i have seen is new
1. holding menu will take you to the main menu instead of activating or deactivating the backlight
2. lyrics and album art staying on screen and not disappearing after 10 seconds
3. Apple Radio Remote support
4. Line-out problem, occasionally when going from headphones to line-out, there would be no sound.
5. The 'Alarm' feature has been overhauled, easier to set the time, and a little bell icon is displayed next to the 'Alarm' menu item when it is set.
6. 'Screen-lock' has also been changed, slightly different interface, the numbers are in sunken boxes as opposed to the red glow. And a new warning is given telling you to hook your Nano up to your comp if you forget your code.
7. There was a problem with turning off, if you scrolled back or forward through a playlist/album, back to the main menu, sometimes it would not turn off.
8. The song title is in bold above the lyrics when you go to the lyrics screen
9. itunes opens almost instantly (within a second or 2) with the ipod showing. Before, this used to take 5-10 seconds, maybe more.
10. Reduced lag, before, when scrolling and clicking quickly through menus and songs, had some 'slow down', this is gone now.
11. Before the update I noticed a lag when I would skip songs, the next song would come on but the tags would have a slight lag on them and that has been fixed as well.
12. More accurate battery meter. Doesn't go down too quickly as it used too. One person said that it actually increases battery life after a testing.
13. When using the Universal dock with remote the backlight will come on after you change the volume, before the backlight remained off.

Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
Thank you

There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

Pc not updating ipod nano

I have 2 ipods connected to my computer in different settings. I have 120 songs in nano library and 67 on the nano. It will not update. cannot drag them into ipod either. I have tried everything. Please help

To change your setting, make sure ipod is plugged in and go to edit / preferences / ipod and select manual update. Then you can drag and drop. Hope it works for you.
NOTHING is working for me... tried everything... brand new nano. downloaded cd track to library... auto update doesn't work; manual update doesn't work. Uninstalled all ipod/itunes/quicktime programs and reinstalled the most recent version from apple website. Songs in library will not load onto Nano.
Bummer. I have spent waaaay too much time trying to make your product work... also have used my one complimentary support (which took approx. 31/2 hours.)
I'm onboard with the idea of this technology but the technology is not up to par. Feeling let down!

Windows XP Media Center Edition does not suport ipod nano...need programs

I was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano, but that there are online programs available that would allow me to use my ipod with Windows XP Media Center. Does anyone know of these porgrams?? If so, could you recommend a website? Thanks!

was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano
Correct. Sort of.
Windows Media Center is not a computer. Just as Mac OS is not a computer. It is a operating system. (a version of Windows XP).
You have a PC with Windows XP Media Center.
You cannot use Windows Media Center OS to load the iPod.
You need to load iTunes to manage the iPod.
And yes, you can use the iPod Nano on Windows XP Media Center.

After updating my itunes, its saying syncronising but it its not updating my nano?

After updating my itunes, its saying syncronising but it its not updating my nano? The old tunes are their and wont add or delete anything?

Activation issues are typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

Updated ipod nano is now not recognised by windows or itunes

Hi,
I am sure there would be numerous people who are in the same situation. Being computer illiterate does not help the situation i tell you. Can anyone please help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is everything up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, have you seen and tried this?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
Finally, when you connect your iPod to your computer, open My Computer. See if the iPod appears there. If it does...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

IPod Updater does not recognize iPod Nano

I installed the iTunes while charging my new iPod Nano 4GB from my USB port. iPod worked and was recognized during this process. After successfull ejecting and disconnecting I got the 'Folder icon with an exclamation point' in the iPod display. I followed the Apple hint on their www.apple.com/support/ipod homepage and downloaded the latest software iPod Updater (2006-06-28) and updated from 1.1 to iPod nano 1.2. In this process the Updater ended with saying that the software was updated, but that I had to wait for the iPod to quit/release the process, and it never did. It says 'Do not disconnect'. After ½ a day of waiting I had to disconnect it anyway. I thaught of 'Restore' the factory software but now Updater will not even see my iPod when I connect it. The Updater freezes and I have to 'End Process' from the Task Manager. iPod display keeps saying 'Do not disconnect' and shows a small 'sun' in the upper left corner with 'sunbeams rotating around the sun'. Can't find this symbol anywhere. Can't eject the iPod by software from neither the iTunes nor the 'Safely remove hardware' utility. When I pull out the plug from the iPod it resets and shows the Apple log and prompts me for selecting a language. The iPod 'About' panel shows that I have updated to software 1.2
I tried to follow this link down to the 'Remove iTunes' point, but no success sofar:

I have the same problem after update to sw 1.2.
And I have successfully get it back to normal by re-format the iPod-drive.
If you see windows recognise the iPod-drive. Try to re-format it (use FAT32). If you are success to reformat it, Ipod updater will recognise it and you can now do a 'Restore' to create the file structure back again for the Ipod-drive.
I continue to use the updated sw, v1.2. And hope it does not cause more problem as this one.

File size of Notes on iPod nano?

Hello,
my question is about the file size of notes to be handled by the iPod nano.
I have copied several ASCII text-files into the Notes folder of my iPod nano. Each has a size of approx. 20 kByte. Windows Explorer shows them in the iPod Notes folder with their original size.
However, when opening one of the text files on the iPod nano, text is only displayed until approx. 700 words (approx. 4000 characters), which corresponds to approx. 4 kByte. The larger rest of the file is not displayed, as if it was cut.
Is this an error?
Or is 4 kByte the max. size of text files which can be displayed as notes on the iPod nano?
I have updated the iPod nano firmware recently with release 1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is an online utility for doing this - will save you tons of time AND adds links so you go from one section of the larger file to the next:

Until they inprove the file size that the iPods can read, this is your only real way to use your iPod as an ebook reader.

Itunes will not read Ipod Nano...

I just got an Ipod Nano for my Windows XP Dell Inspiron 8500. Installed the latest version of Itunes 5... and any 'latest' updated for Ipod software. (uninstalled/reinstalled SEVERAL times)
Everytime I open ITunes, I get a message saying:
"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." ...
SO I did that .. didnt work.. then I went to the Apple site and followed step by step instructions to possibly correct this problem... I followed ALL instructions and I still get the error message. My computer , windows explorer, detects the ipod fine.. but Itunes just cant read it... any ideas or help on this one?? Im about to pull my hair out.
thanks!

my advice is to uninstall EVERYTHING you downloaded, this includes iTunes 5 as well as anything else (eg iPod Updater), reboot as prompted to a clean state. Then install just the software that came with your nano on the CD. There's software on the CD that cannot be downloaded. Provided this works, and iTunes 4.9 can recognise the nano, THEN you can install iTunes 5.0 and whatever else you want.

Windows not installing iPod nano 3G

When i plugged in my iPod nano 3G for the first time the "Found New Hardware Device' bubble came up and it recognized that it was an Apple iPod, but then it said that there was a problem with installing the new device and that it might not work properly. After this I cant see my ipod in My Computer or in iTunes. Under the hardware profile it shows an exclamation mark symbol next to the ipod. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that doesn't work either. I just repeats the same process. I've tried updating the driver but it says it can't find an updated driver. The real strange thing is that I have an iPod Video 5G that has been working with this computer for 2 years now. So why wont the Nano?
So after i got fed up with this, I plugged my ipod Nano into my laptop and it worked flawlessly. But all of my music is on my desktop which is why i need it to connect. Any help?

This is the same problem I'm having & no other USB devices are hooked up to my laptop, can anybody HELP??????????
Before I install iTunes Vista recognizes my iPod, it shows up in My Computer and I can use it as a storage device. In Device Manager it shows up under disk drives as an iPod and under USB controllers as a mass storage device. After I install iTunes it loads new drivers, or it tries to. It installs a new iPod USB driver & then it tries to install iPod drivers and never finds them. It tells me the device drivers were not found & I can't use the device until they are loaded. Now the iPod won't even show up in My Computer. When I check Device Manager there is an entry for the iPod with an exclamation mark beside it & under USB controllers it is now listed as an iPod USB device. When I uninstall iTunes it still won't recognize the device properly but if I do a system restore, back to before I loaded iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in it goes back to recognizing it in My Computer as an iPod storage device and under Device Manager it checks out OK. I think the problem is with the new device drivers iTunes installs. When installed iTunes will start up no problem, it's just when I plug in the iPod it loads the problem drivers & I have to do a system restore to get my iPod back again. Please help, I've had to do a system restore 5 times now & it still won't work. I can either have an iPod loaded or iTunes load, just not both at the same time. I'm very familiar with computers & software but this is driving me crazy
BTW, my iPod is a new 3rd generation Nano

Windows will not recognize ipod nano anymore

At the beginning it was working fine, but after I left it for a week it stopped working. When I plugged it to the computer, the computer would not recognize it.
When I plugged in the ipod nano into Window XP, the following happens:
- Window XP lags and take a long time to display the message "new hardware found"
- my ipod displays the charging symbol
- then ipod shows the screen "Do not disconnect" and it stalls on this screen
- after awhile, Windows show a "safely remove hardware" icon on the bottom right of my screen, but it describes the recognized hardware as "Apple ipod USB Device at location 0"
Note that:
- my ipod is not charged at all after all this
- itunes would not recognize my ipod
- there's not hardware icon in "My Computer" and "Device Manager"
- my computer can recognize my friend's ipod
- I can neither restore or reset my ipod because it does not get passed the "Do not disconnect" screen
So if anybody could provide any help, i'll be very very grateful. =P Please save me.

Maybe for that one week that you left your iPod nano idle, your iPod software automatically updated and left you with some strange conflict.
Anyhow, your symptons sound similar to some described in this article:

Not sure if the solution presented in the article will work for you, but let us know if it solved it.

CANNOT UPDATE IPOD NANO

I have an Ipod Nano and I have songs on my Itunes that my daughter has downloaded previously to her Ipod and I also imported CD's that I want to put on and I keep getting the message that the songs on my Ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist. Can anybody help me? I am going nuts trying to figure this out. Thank you!!

In iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>iPod (tab) and which is selected of these three?:
- Automatically update all songs and playlists
- Manually manage songs and playlists
- Automatically update selected playlists only
I'm assuming it's of the latter (Automatically update selected playlists only) but the ones that are checked are not there anymore.

Updating iPod nano Manually-How do you do it?

I am trying to update my iPod manually. The instructions say to "Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list", but iPod nano does NOT appear in my Source list. Is this possible and how do I get it to appear, so I can use properly. Thanks

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
Microsoft Support - A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB thumb drive, an Apple iPod, or an external hard disk drive
