Does the third generation iPod Nano have allot of problems with it?

I was wondering if you think that there is an unusual ammount of defective iPod nanos, or iPod nanos with problems.
I know that forums are mainly a support page, so I'm only going to see posts about PROBLEMS with the iPod, but i wanted some opinions.
Should i wait to buy the new iPod nano, or should i go ahead and purchase?
EDIT: Also, remember when steve annouced that the iPod Video could play songs with no song skip. I think it's called "continuous playback". Can the nano do that?
And last of all, does the nano back scratch as easily as the 1st gen nanos?
Thanks in advance,
ZLH

I am on my third Nano3 - the store replaced it without hesitation. This one is (knock on wood) working very well. If you are close to an Apple Store, the risk is low. And they ARE cool!
They indicated that they had not had many returns, so it might have been just a bit of bad luck (after all, it is the 13th iPod in my family, and my 7th...)
I have not tested the gapless play.
I do wish, they had stayed with the Aluminum finish on the back. I never used a cover on my Nano 2, and it looks great. This one has the marring typical of polished SS backs. You can polish it out, of course.

Does the 5th generation ipod nano have bluetooth capabilities?

Does the 5th generation ipod nano have blue tooth capabilities?
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, the fifth generation iPod nano does not have a built-in Bluetooth chip. The seventh generation iPod nano, introduced in fall 2012, is the only iPod nano as of now that does have Bluetooth built-in.

Does the 7th generation ipod nano have the same storage capacity as the 4th generation ipod nano

Just bought a ipod nano 7th generation to replace my 16gb 4th generation nano as its battery life is getting shorter
Went to load my library on to my new ipod and it could not take all the songs, wheras my 4th generarion had room to spare
so i have had to uncheck a lot of songs to get my new ipod to accept loading
my guess would be around 300 mb
Is this difference right when they are both rated as 16gb and showing on itunes at keast the same storage capacity?

Need to add I have restored the ipod twice with no change to storage capacity
'others' is showing
4th gen 119 mb
7th gen 136 mb

Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
1- games
2- voice memo

1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

Does the 7th generation iPod classic have a glass screen

does the 7th gen.... ipod classic have a glass screen an what the average life span with normal everday useage,,,,

It is a glass display and the average lifespan depends on a number of factors such as how often it is used and under what conditions, etc. I would say 2 - 3 years overall is a very good number for these types of devices, but many users recieve many more years of use than that.

I have two iPods, one from the fourth generation and another one that must be from the first generation iPod nano. Can I trade them both in?

I have two iPods, one IPod touch from the fourth generation and another one that must be from the first generation iPod nano. Can I trade them both in?
The Fourth generation- 16GB
First generation-4GB

Apple does not have a "trade in" program for iPods, other than the recycling program that gives you a 10% discount on a new iPod (at an Apple Retail Store).
http://www.apple.com/recycling/ipod-cell-phone/
There are some third-party (non-Apple) companies that provide compensation for old iPods. You can also sell them yourself on eBay.

Hi! How can I change the shipping address for the program of replacement of the 1 generation ipod nano? I've already received the empty box and now I should send back the old ipod but I'd like to receive the new one to another address. Thank you.

I would contact Apple directly and have them work with to get the iPod shipped to a new/different address.

Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs

Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs and what can I do to control or prevent it?

Seems logical and likely to fix it. Have 3 locations where it was happening and will test and get you your ten points if all tests well. Thanks.

Do they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos ?

I was just wondering whether or not they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos. i live in Canada and ive been wanting a red ipod nano for ages...and my silver one is now starting to skip. i might as well get a new one seeing as my silver one has been through alot of rough times...
If they are still selling them, do they have the red ones in Canada? If so, where can i get one?

They have refurbs on the online store, but not the red. You might try stores in your area that sell iPods, ebay, or if you are near an Apple Store check the Black Friday sale.

Does the 7th gen iPod Nano work w/Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers?

Does the 7th gen iPod Nano only work with Bluetooth 4.0 compatible speakers or should it also work with Bluetooth 2.1 devices?

No one here would know for sure. Since the Lightning adapter is new it may take awhile before you see any. The adapter works with my Zeppelin so there are some out there that will work. It will not be Apple making it.

So is the 7th generation iPod Nano in fact a 6th generation iPod Nano with a software upgrade only ?

I went to buy a 7th Generation Nano from a local Apple store and when I gto home to set it up, I found out that it had the old software (i.e. small icons and only two clock faces). I took it back to the Apple store and they informed me that it was the latest model (i.e. 6th gen) and that I had to update the Software to make it a 7th gen model..... this all seems contrary to the following article on the 7th gen tear down....

Same thing with us. We were told that no "new" stock was brought in to the store, just they lowered the price on the current xtg inventory, so buy it now as you don't need the nike kit. Here's apple's own link showing gen 6 as current:
http://support.apple.com/specs/#Nano
Seems like a good way to inject a few more sales as the "new version" at the keynote got our attention. The gen is moot for us as it seems to be working for us so far as it held a charge overnight powered off. We still are testing that it doesn't drain down too fast for our uses running. If it works for what you want, does it really matter what you or someone else wants to call it?

If you want, need, and the item works for you - just buy it and enjoy it.

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
