Function of ipod nano 2G

i know that ipod is used to listen to music but i don't know if it can allow me listen these file which aren't music , are english example listening lessons . i buy this ipod only to pratise my listening english better so i need know " Can iPod nano 2G run these file, not music " ( i try syncing these file to my ipod but i don't see them on my ipod...)...
i have ever hear that ipod nano can run video but there have to be " Linux " to run them , i don't know about it clearly, so if you can , tell me about function of Linux.Oh, i also want to know if ipod nano 2G can run video, which not music video .
thanks .

It plays most popular formats of sound files, MP3, ACC, M4A. You must convert your files to these formats (iTunes do this usually). But about video on iPod nano 2nd gen., it does not support video playing officially, but iPodLinux make it able to play uncompressed AVI files, but it's better to use it UNTOUCHED! if you wanna watch video, buy newer versions.

There is no search function. If there was, it would be mentioned in the iPod's User Guide.

Lack of good functionality for iPod Nano alarm timer?

Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a Gen 2 - 2GB Nano, and I had figured that between the Sleep function, the Alarm function, and the Stopwatch function, it would be something I could use to listen to music while working out, and at the same time use it as a timer for the couple of exercises I do that I'd like to time (as opposed to counting).
I would think this would be a key use of Nanos by many people, but what I find is that all of the options are less than desirable.
Alarm: I could set the alarm to go off at the allotted time, but what I would want is the "beep" and for the "beep" to come through the headphones. I'm listening to music using the headphones, so I don't to hear the "beep" emitting from the Nano's "internal speaker". Selecting a Playlist to be the alarm sound does work to alert me to it being time to switch exercises, but "switch" is the key problem here because it switches to that new (or the beginning of the same) Playlist. In other words, the main function of the Nano for me is to listen to music, and perhaps that will be an entire album while I work out, but using the Playlist feature for the sound of the alarm means I will be interrupted in the midst of, say, track 4 of the Playlist I'm wanting to listen to for my workout.
Sleep Timer function: Only allows me to select in 15 minute intervals (I need 11 or 12 minutes for one particular exercise, though I could live with 10 minutes, but that’s not even there). Plus the abrupt shutoff of the music that's playing is horrible. The intent of the Sleep Timer function of course makes the 15 minute interval choices make sense, but a bit of a fade for the music shutoff would be an improvement (and less likely to wake someone up who was just drifting off). If the Sleep Timer could actually let me set the number of minutes, it would be my solution (since upon stopping the music that’s playing, that position in the Playlist is retained and one can start listening again where one left off).
Stopwatch: Stopwatch isn't really useful for what I'm trying to do. It would be, of course, if it had a "timer" setting that let you program it for a number of minutes to count down, then upon reaching zero it would beep in the headphones along with the music being played, or just fade the music that’s playing, similar to what the Sleep Timer does, though it does it abruptly...
So two questions:
1. Do any more experienced iPod owners know of a way I can do what I’m trying to do? (Play music, be alerted when a specific number of minutes are up, and not have the position in the Playlist of the music I’m listening to be lost.)
2. What is the way to make suggestions to Apple for changes to the iPod software?
Any help/comments appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich Apple (and yes, Apple is my name, and no, Apple the company has never seen fit to give me a computer and take advantage of the wonderful “stealth advertising” I would naturally be… Oh, your name is Apple? Do you own the computer company? Well, no, but they actually did give me a computer; that’s how groovy they are.)
Nano 2GB Generation 2

Thank you, Jeff, for the couple of answers. I did put in a couple enhancement requests via the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html link, and I imagine such requests carry more weight if others also request them.
I requested that Apple make it so one can be alerted to an alarm via the headphones without losing the position in the playlist that one is listening to, or that the Sleep Timer be changed to accept a number of minutes rather than just choosing between the 15 minute increments. (Either being a means to time something (excersize, hard-boiling an egg, sex, or anything) and be alerted when the time is up without having to lose one's place in the Playlist.)
I also requested that the Sleep Timer function use a fade-out rather than the abrupt shut-off of the music.
Again, thanks for the link, and thanks for confirming that you too can't find a way to do the timed periods in the way that I would think many others would want.

Locking video function of ipod nano 5g

Hi there,
is it possible, to disable the video function of the ipod 5g?
Or lock the Main Menu, so that no one has access without the proper password, like with the maximum loudness?
Sincerely

I *ask, because i want to buy one for my children, but i do not want them to take any movies.*
Anyone else, please?

Your only recourse is to purchase an iPod without video features. There is no way to just lock any one feature on the iPod Nano 5th gen with video cam *yet.*

Nano Shuffle Function Resets Ipod

Hi ,
I'm having a problem with my new ipod nano (2nd gen)
i put the shuffle function on and it's fine if i let it play through but if i wan to skip forward a song or two it always crash's,
i've tried doing a software update but it's already running the most recent version, i've done a reset an still no luck!
would anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Windows XP Pro

Any body have any idea what might be causing this?

Can't the iPod nano 7th gen. VoiceOver function identify which language that is being used? My iPod Shuffle can.

I am very satisfied with my iPod SHUFFLE (last version), especially with the VoiceOver function which is (quite) able to identify correctly which language is being used in every song: For a Norwegian artist / a song in Norwegian, the artist and title is pronounced in Norwegian; for a French artist / a song in French, the artist and title is pronounced in French; for an English artist / a song in English, the artist and title is pronounced in English etc. A really impressive and useful function!
I was very surprised and dissatisfied to find that my new iPod nano 7th generation does not seem to work this way: I am able to select the language to be used in VoiceOver, but then this language is used in everything that is pronounced. Most of my music is in English language, so this is what I have selected. But to hear Norwegian artists' names and Norwegian titles pronounced with an English-speaking voice is quite disturbing.
I believe I have been through all possible settings in the nano and in iTunes to correct this, but I am unable to find a solution. I have also asked people at an Apple store, but they were unable to help. Can anybody help? Or is it really possible that this excellent function has been removed?
(Could it be that the previous version of iTunes could fix the problem? I have installed the last one, v. 11.0.1.12.)

IPod nano 7G issues with shuffle function

Dear all,
I just bought a 7G iPod nano. Altogether it's great but I have a couple of issues I would like to comment with you:
1. I sometimes use the "shake to shuffle" function, but when I go and turn it OFF, the shuffle function still remains (although not in the "shake" mode), and I must turn it off manually by tapping on the screen while a song is playing, and de-selecting it. Does this happen to you?
2. When I pair the iPod nano 7G to my car through bluetooth, after listening to any album up until the end, it then suddenly pauses, then starts playing again but in a shuffle mode, without me having done or touched anything. So after the end of any album, it just turns on the shuffle mode automatically. My car stereo system is a 2012 Mercedes Benz Audio 20 system, which has both A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Has anyone experienced something similar?
It's sounded like fun to listen to the iPod wirelessly in the car, but I must say that the bluetooth functionalities are so limited (play, stop, next track, last track) that it quicly becomes quite boring. I wish it had all the browsing controls like when you plug it in...Any comments?
Thanks a lot in advance for you help with these issues,
CCCP

im having the same problem. I drive a 203 c class with audio 20 and for some reason the media interface wont sync with my ipod. The bluetooth works fine but when i try to plug it via the media interface cables, it only charges....

IPod Nano 6th Gen - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

Hi
I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
Thankyou!

Hello bfsf,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.

TS1425 iPod nano - loses functionality when connected to car radio

For the past week, when I connect my iPod nano (4th generation) to a car radio (and I've tried it in several) it brings up a splash screen of the radio manufacturer which stays on the iPod screen and prevents any further access to the iPod functionality. This only happens when connected to a car radio, otherwise the iPod functions normally. So in effect, the iPod is unusable when connected to the car radio, which is where I do most of my listening. Anyone know how to help eliminate this problem?

It sounds like a battery issue to me. When you connect it to the PC it draws power from the computer and thus it is able to function. Apparently it doesn't have enough of its own juice anymore. You probably just need a new battery.

A TV Function for the iPod nano

hi,
i have an iPod nano 4 GB and i tried the Marantz
dockingstation. Working fine for normal audio play-
back, but there is a problem about the photo pla-
back at the tv.
The iPod 30 GB or 60 GB has a TV function for photo
and video. I don't want my nano to play video, but
a great thing would be to use the slideshow on the
tv ...
Did i miss something and there is a function like
that ???

that's what i got so far
video isn't the case for me
but the output of the photos
shouldn't be a big case to
integrate with the next update ...

Ipod nano 7g search function

I changed my old Ipod Nano 4G to a new 7G and I can't believe it..
1) where is the title search funtion? - why is it removed?
2) where is the cover flow? - why is it removed?
-- quite the same day by day - new generation and the old one will be better...

Maybe it's the looking from your side, but I can't understand why everybody thinks he knows what the customer wants and needs. I think - put it in, if somebody will or can't use some feature it's not a problem, but if you have used it in the past and you haven't it now, you are engry.
My 6-person familiy - we use 6 Iphones, 1 Ipad, 5 Ipods 4G, Classic and 7G and the understanding about the missing functions comes not from mine, it comes from my children 13years, and they have smaller fingers
... I'am also waiting since the Iphone 3GS-4GS to use my phone like a business phone, we have IOS 8.1 and you always can't sync the Outlook ToDo-List and I can't use my Outlook calender with all categories and colours .. - I was waiting now to the new 6series - and it will come with ?
YES - a new design,
- looks cheaper not so high-end than the 4GS+5GS metall series..?
- bigger and superbig like a little Ipad - so can't put it in your pants and jacket?
- new connector like 5GS, so I can change everything, HIFI-docking stations can't be used, fix mounted charging station in my business car should be changed.., charging docking stations in my office and so on...?
so what's going on with Apple...
Tell me why I should change to the new series, if I get only things I don't need or used things will be missed. - I will lose a lot of money to change everything, like the actually problem now with the first new lightning connector of the new Ipod 7G of my daughter...
I'am with you - design and technic must be balanced, but we haven't problems with the amount of RAM to reduce functions - at the moment a lot of people around me can't find the motivation to buy new things, because you can be sure, you get 4 new features you don't need and you also lose 5-10 features you have used day by day - and you can't see it before !
So and old adage says, "Don't touch a running system!"

IPod Nano pause function erratic

I've had my Nano for nearly three weeks now and I'm quite happy with it, no scratches, sound is great, just a gorgeous and well thought out device.
However, I've come really use the function of pausing the Nano by pulling out the earphone plug. For the most part, this does pause the player as advertised, but not always. I've done the reset thing to see if it would help, but it still occasionally plays on after I've removed the head phones.
Curious if anyone else has experienced this....

I just bought an ipod nano for my daughter's birthday 2 months ago and it has just started pausing itself. She has updated the OS to v 1.1, but that didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? Should we send it back?
