GOOD NEWS FOR THE NANO!!!

"They claim current iPods can already play video (but this is disabled) — which means an updated firmware might enable movie playback, something not infeasible given the power of the iPod hardware platform."
http://engadget.com/page/3 -- scroll down to "Think Secret thinks we'll see a video iPod Tomorrow" and read the update!!
This is good news for all those who may be regreting buying the nano. (I don't, it's flash-newer technology, hard drive skips)

Yeah,
Even though the screen on the Nano is small, I would still welcome video playback. I don't think copying full DVD's onto the Nano is practical given the storage size unless there is a way to compress video/DVD content to be loaded on to the Nano. You would be able to hold maybe 1 or 2 full DVD movies plus your music library. The new video iPod and regular iPods have much larger storage for things like full quality audio and video.
I welcome the ability to play Quick Time content, though.
Have a lot of video/movies in QT format and the sound would probably be great over headphones.
I do not regret buying a Nano, though. The Nano is an impressive piece of technology and still a good-looking device for playing any audio/video/image content.
I hope apple does release a firmware updater to recent iPods for video playback.
This would just make the Nano even more slicker device.

  • I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my serial no.

    I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my box number?

    If this is a new box you just bought ad the disk is bad, Apple will replace it for you.  OTOH, if you have lost the disk or it has become damaged over time, that is your responsibility, and though I don't speak for Apple, I'd be very surprised if you had any option other than buying another copy.

  • Games for the nano 6th generation

    Question for Apple:
    Are the any plans for additional updates. For example it would be good if there were a few basic apps/games for the nano considering the price associated with it.
    Please note I understand that there is limitation to what can be added due to the size, however I do believe that adding simple card games such as solitaire, hearts, black-jack would really enhance the product and increase customer satisfaction of the product.
    I brought this Ipod to replace my classic version with probably the same size screen(but not touch) and that came with games.

    Are you referring to the iPod Classic that you can currently buy? If yes, that screen is quite a bit larger but more importantly you use the click wheel as control for any games, such as solitaire, black jack, etc.
    With the current touch screen you would have to have awfully small hands and very good eyes to use the screen to control the game plus see what was happening at the same time. But it really doesn't matter as there is no Software Development Kit (SDK) available to developers for the Nano OS, so there is no possible way for them to develop games.
    If with all these limitations you would still pay for games on the Nano (not sure what the price has to do with it), you need to send your request to Apple, they are not here.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.
    Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

  • I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

    What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
    Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

    If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

  • Make goods receipt for the items w/difference after the proof of delivery

    Hello experts,
    I do like to know how finish the process of proof of delivery, when I does have items with differences over the quantities that arrived to my client. For example, one sales order for 20 units. I did the delivery note, and posted the goods issue. Then I did the Proof of Delivery, confirming 19 units and the deviation reasons, saving the document. Then I made my billing document for 19 units of material.
    The deviation reasons was a damage material, my questions is: How does make goods receipt for the items with difference over the quantities after the confirming of proof of delivery?
    Thanks in advance

    Edited by: Johnattan Company on Sep 8, 2009 3:59 PM

    Hello Chetan,
    Thinking in the process, I have found a solution to do it. If the differences was caused by unknowing reasons, like stolen or whatever reasons and the material will not enter again in the warehouse, we donu2019t need to make any process.
    But if the causes was a broken material, a lapsed date expired or unknowing others reasons as a consequence the material will enter again in the warehouse; I have customized a returns order, and a returns item with the option not relevant for billing to conclude the process.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Games for the Nano?

    I cant find games that will work for the nano on itunes. what BS are they trying to pull with only games for the touch and iphone?

    I've read a lot of the posts on this forum, but I don't seem to see a real answer to this question. Most responses just seem to point to where the clickwheel games are listed. However, as some others have said on other posts, although the top of that page states that these games are compatible with 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPod nano (and a few other iPod models), if you look at the individual game descriptions, not a single one lists 5th generation nano. One (I forget which) only lists 3rd gen, and all the others list 3rd and 4th. So, it is not at all clear if any of these will work on the 5th generation nano. So just saying where the clickwheel games are doesn't really help.
    I don't have time to read every comment on every game (especially when most of them are like, "Hey Apple - we want free games!" or "Make Guitar Hero!"), so I am hoping that someone here will have some answers. I have managed to glean that the .99 games of Chinese Checkers and Reversi don't work on 5th generation because parts, but not all, of the images are reversed so things don't line up. I did find one post on this forum that said that Monopoly does work. Can anybody say from their own experience which games they have tried on 5th gen, and which ones worked or didn't work? If you have any opinions on the games themselves, that would be great, too - for example, when I was reading about Yahtzee, apparently the computer plays like a moron so it's not worth playing the computer on that one.
    I won a 5th gen nano at my office Christmas party, and am a complete novice at this, so any help is appreciated! I am really enjoying the games that came loaded on it, and would like to add some more, but I am not sure there are any on iTunes that actually work with this specific model.
    TIA!!!!!!
