Free iPod Nano 6th Generation Always On Digital Watch Face "App"

I created what I call the Slideshow Clock. I have only tested it for a couple hours, but it seems to work great, and should help quench the thirst for those of you who really wanted their Nano watch to stay on, or wanted a digital display. Yeah, it's a little ridiculous but it's all I could do. I tested other ideas, but they all failed.
It would also be helpful if someone would mirror the zip file, as my free host is not known for reliability.

From the site:
The Slideshow Clock is a set of images to be used as a slideshow on the iPod Nano. These images show the time accurately when the slideshow is started on the appropriate image for the current time. The Slideshow Clock provides functions not otherwise available to the iPod Nano. These include: Always on, never sleep, constant clock face display; digital display; custom display. These functions are primarily desired by those wishing to use the nano as a wrist watch.
To use the Slideshow Clock, make sure your slideshow settings are set to repeat, and 20 seconds display time. Then open Photos and select the image that corresponds to the current time and hit play. There are 3 images for each minute of the day since each only displays for 20 seconds.
Drawbacks:
-Slideshow Clock 1 is a 1.18MB zip file, which expands to 15.9MB, but unfortunately iTunes "optimizes" it into 1.09GB. So you will probably not want many different watch face styles installed on your nano at a time.
-Rapid battery drain. Suggestions: minimum brightness, use only during key geek moments, use while charging.
-Accidentally touching the display stops the clock.
-You have to "set" clock every time you want to use it.

Hello NickTech,
I want to keep my iPod nano on all the time because recently my sleep/wake button stopped woking - it has become compressed. so every time I want to wake it I have to connect it to the charger or I can shuffle around a little with my music with the buttons on my earphones. So i was wondering if you have a solution for that? And if not than I want to Slideshow Clock thing like how you've explained above but that link you provided doesn't open. http://nicktech.heliohost.org/ipod-nano.shtml
Can you help me out?
THANKS!!

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.

yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

IPod nano 6th generation. repeat is on, and I can't see a way to turn it off.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation. Shake to shuttle is turned on, though I can rarely get it to work. I can't find a repeat setting, but when I select shuffle, it always repeats. I can't find anything in the manual about how to turn repeat on or off. This behavior started a few weeks ago.

I reset all settings, and that seemed to clear it. I had to turn some back on. I still can't find anywhere to turn repeat off or on.

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen. While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

The volume increase button is stuck on my iPod nano (6th Generation) and I can't turn the volume up. Is there a way to fix it?

I have the iPod nano 6th generation, and I have had it since Christmas 2011 so it isn't that old; recently I went to listen to my music and found that the volume increase button is stuck (basically it's like when you press the volume button down to increase the volume, except it is stuck down like that and won't come back up) but it was only stuck about 3/4 of the way down. For about a week this was ok, I just had to press the button harder to make it go down and increase the volume, but now it won't increase the volume at all and it feels and looks as though the button is stuck the whole way in, even when I press the button with some force. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it or if I need to take it to an apple store for them to fix it?!
Sorry if the way I have explained the problem is confusing, it's difficult to explain but it's extremely frustrating.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. Instead of taking it to the Apple store and paying $ the 99 service charge ( I did give Apple 139.00 13 months ago! for this ipod), I saturated the end of a q-tip w/ WD 40 and carfefully rubbed around the perimeter of the power button. I waited a half hour and then cleaned of the excess WD 40. This unstuck my power button. I guess the WD 40 dissovled all the dirt under and around (also the consrtuction of the buttons is done w/ double sided tape-- maybe a design issue) the button. A friend tried isopropyl alcohol w/ great results. Try this before you give Appple any more $$ or get a new ipod. It's been 6 wks. and my button functions perfectly,

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

Adding photos from iphoto to ipod nano 6th generation

I want to take photos from iphoto (mac os x 10.6.8) and put them on my ipod nano 6th generation. I can't find anything on itunes that mentions photos and my ipod doesn't show up in iphoto or applications.

Thanks. I followed through with those instructions. Now when I go to sync, I don't want everybody else's music to show up on my ipod. How do I sync? And if I check sync only checked songs, will it sync ALL checked songs? We have alot of songs, but I don't want all of them. How can I manually sync?
Thanks!

IPod Nano 6th Generation Not Charging/Holding Charge

Hi.
My iPod Nano 6th generation will not charge or hold a charge. I plug it in and it will turn on for about 30 seconds or less and then die. It will then continue to turn on and die unless I unplug it in which case it will die and not turn on. Any advice/suggestions and/or help finding what is wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

hold down the enter button for 5 secs then plug into wall while still holding it down.

Hi meganisawsome,
If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:
