Downloading video files directly to 5th gen nano.

I recently got a 5th gen nano (only prior iPod was a 1st gen shuffle) and was excited to put video on it. I found that, due to limited remaining disk space on my laptop, I have to delete files in order to have enough space to handle a movie download from the iTunes store. Apparently the file is saved to the laptop's disk and then transfered to the nano. Is there a way to direct the download directly to the nano? Thanks!

Simple answer, no.
You need to either buy a bigger hard drive or add another hard drive to your computer. If you delete the videos from iTunes and sync the nano to iTunes you will lose the videos on the nano.
Here download the manual for the nano:
iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide
Surprisingly the manual is well written.

  • Possible to disable audio during video recording? On 5th gen nano.

    I'd like to use the video camera to record picture only.   Is there some way to disable the audio?  Does plugging in a microphone to the audio jack disable the onboard mic?   Thanks.

    Not possible. You have to use a regular digital camera OR use an iPod Touch (4th gen or better) OR iPhone (3 or better)

  • When does the new hard case for the 5th gen Nano come out?

  • 5th Gen Nano not listed

    We got our 5th gen nano today and are very happy with it. We looked to buy a few iPod (clickwheel) games on the store (iTunes 9.0). However the compatibility list for the games stops at the 4th generation nano and doesn't list the 5th gen nano at all. Any thoughts on likely compatibility?
    Message was edited by: Mac@DBB to include iTunes version.

    OK - to answer my own question a little bit. the 5th gen nanos aren't listed in the compatibility info but i just loaded Asphalt4 and when it had downloaded it listed the Nano 5th gen as a compatible ipod in its detailed info. It installed and ran fine.

  • Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

    I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
    Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

    I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
    Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

    Hey Stan1958,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT3204 I can't download apps to my ipod 5th gen - ever since I updated to the ios7.4 :(  Please help!

    Hi ~ 
    I recently upgraded to the ios 7.04 and ever since I am unable to download apps to my ipod (5th gen).
    The new apps show up in my itunes library but they will not download onto my ipod.
    I feel as though I have tried everything.
    Please help with whatever tips you may have for me!
    Thank you!

    I had to do a quick check, thanks! Here are a few I think should be working:
    Temple Run
    Sunday Lawn
    Where's my Water
    Dora Dress up
    Dora ABC
    Spy Mouse
    Super Why
    Spongebob Marbles
    Some other apps say iOS 4+ but don't list the iPod Touch 2nd gen in the description, so I'm guessing they just don't work no matter the OS. However, the apps listed above say OS 3+ and just say ipod touch, so I think they should work. I'm running iTunes 10.3 but not the most recent release, and am updating as I type just in case that's the problem. Thanks for any help or advice!

  • Can't see 5th gen nano on hp pavillion running windows xp

    Hi guys, I just got a brand new 5th gen nano (for my birthday) but when i connect it to the usb port on my pc the error message usb device not recognised comes up and i've tried all the usual ways to remidy this (the 5 R's etc). Also, when i check the drivers, all that comes up is unknown device.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Guys, Got the problem sorted. It was a faulty cable shipped with the ipod. Had a friend loan me his and it worked straight off. Thanks again.

  • With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

    I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

    The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off?  If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

  • 5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

    My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.

  • I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

    I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export"  and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

  • My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

    my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.
