Help with 6th gen Nano

All of a sudden, my Nano keeps repeating whatever song I've selected - it will not move to the next song in the playlist. I've no idea what I did to cause this and more importantly, have no clue how to fix it.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

You have repeat on.  Turn it off.  It is covered in the manual:

  • Ihome ip37 compatibile with 6th gen nano?

    I have a 6th generation nano and today received a gift of an ihome ip37 portable dock/speaker system. The ip37 says I shouldn't use it without installing one of the inserts provided that surrounds the jack that the nano connects to. The inserts are obviously designed to cradle a nano or other ipod securely while connected. None of the inserts provided allow the 6th gen nano to be connected. Does anybody have any experience with the ip37 and the 6th generation nano? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    You can try it without the inserts. Just be careful not to force the Nano onto the dock connector, and make sure you are not putting too much sideways or front-to-back pressure on the Nano dock connector. The inserts are designed to reduce the strain on the dock connector, but the Nano is so short in height that it is harder to apply leverage that could damage either device.

  • Help with 6th Gen iPod Nano please

    Hello, I have a 6th gen ipod nano currently for about 1 and a half years, which has been working fine as of late, but today it lost all battery completely (I had used it for the first time yesterday paired up with the Nike+ attachment). Not knowing the battery had depleted I tried turning it on, but didn't work, decided to charge it just in case it was that. After waiting for a while I tried turning it on once more, connected it with my laptop & iTunes only to see the warning that it had to be restored since it had apparently gone corrupt. Even though it seemed weird, I did accept and let iTunes do it's stuff in order to restore it. About 30 minutes later it said that the server wasn't available for reach and couldn't finish the operation. Tried it a couple of more times only resulting in iTunes freezing over and unavailable to detach the nano from the laptop. I searched online for a manual reset and found the one in the support page (Lower volume + Turn on button for about 8 seconds then the lower + upper volume buttons) only to reach a flashing screen of the apple logo in my nano (lasted less then a second between flashes). iTunes couldn't detect my iPod up to this point. Tried it once more only to reach a white screen with black letters 'Do Not Disconnect' and nothing from the iTunes program (every once in a while it detects the nano but still can't update it because of the server issue). I'm pretty sure I've charged it up to full the iPod by now (both with laptop and directly from an outlet). The only thing I imagine left to do is for the battery to die on itself, which should take between 14 and 28 days, but before waiting that time for nothing, I'd rather see if anyone here has an idea on how to make this thing work again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Syncing issues with 6th gen Nano

    Hi,
    Not sure this should be an iTunes specific question of a Nano 6G one, I plumped for this one anyway.
    My Nano seems to have problems fully syncing playlists of either kind. I am trying to sync a handful onto it and having the following issues.
    1) To Listen - Peel.  This is a smart playlist with a single word keyword specification. This one syncs fine.
    2) To Rate. This is a complicated smart playlist with all the music I have listened to, want to keep but still have to rate. There are 7 rules in all and within iTumes the playlist shows up 73 songs. Only 1 song is shown on synced playlist on my Nano however.
    3) 2011 Compilations. I put together standard playlists every couple of months with best music of the year. Within my iTunes the structure is as follows:
    5 - Years & Decades/ 2010s / 2011 / Compilations / then you have the standard playlists, 6 in all which are named 2011-1, 2011-2 etc. there are 88 tracks in these playlists in total.
    I try and sync them and when navigating through it on my Nano it follows the structure above to 2011. It doesn't have the others though, no Compilations and no individual playlists. It means they are all grouped together as a single playlist rather than the 6 they should be.
    And..... just to add another level of bizarre behaviour, within this group above are around 43 of the missing To Rate tracks (2) which show here but not in the playlist they are meant to be in. This is not all of them of course, around 30 To Rate tracks don't sync anywhere.
    I am running the latest version of iTunes and the Nano firmware. Incidentally when I look at the content of the nano through Devices it suggests that the content should be exactly as I have defined it, on the actual Nano it's not the case. I have tried restoring the Nano but the same results are produced.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    C.

    Since I posted this, I had lunch with a friend who is more knowledgeble about these things, and he answered 2 of 3 as follows:
    1) Apparently with new Nano (6 or 7 Gen), you don't need to power off completely, putting in sleep mode or letting it go to sleep mode (with track stopped or pause) is sufficent and does not burn up battery life. If you do this, rather than shutting Nano off completely, it does resume where you left off.
    2) More Clock faces (and other upgrades) are available in 1.2 firmware upgrade which can be downloaded from Apple.
    3) Issue with clock face not staying on, or with Nano being susceptible to command changes from pressing against while in pocket, etc, he believes there must be a lock function, but have not yet figured this out,

  • Problem with 6th Gen Nano - itunes install stops

    I had an upgrade message a few months ago and after that my PC  itunes prog would not see the nano and the message was that it could not be accessed and that i should reinstall itunes. I did all this and then it would not see the nano and i got a long message .... Microsoft VC80.CRT. type ="Win32".version = "8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b" processorArchitecture="amd64",HRESULT - 0x800736FD..... I called apple support and after reinstalling all componments they agreed to replace the nano. The replacement worked straight away. After a few weeks i had another upgrade on the software and the same problem occured so i called supplort and they again replaced the nano. This time when it arrived it came up with the same error message above. They changed it again and again it is not working.  Has anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? Is it a software issue or a hardware issue? I am about to wipe my drive and reinstall windows 7 home edition, but do not want to do this is is this is some other issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

  • 6th gen Nano not appearing in iTunes with OS X 10.7.2

    6th gen Nano not appearing in iTunes with OS X 10.7.2
    device DOES show up on desktop

    And a couple more suggestions.
    The Generic PCL Laser Printer included with Lion will only print in black and white. So open Print & Scan, select the Konica printer, click on Options & Supplies and then select the Driver tab. Ensure this does not show Generic PCL Laser.
    And, there is also a Generic Postscript printer driver included with Lion that does print in colour. So to rule out an issue with the KM driver, create another queue to the printer but this time select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu and see if this prints in colour.

  • My 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings. help

    my 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings and i have reset the nano. it's very frustrating listening to that voice which identifies song, artist and playlist. help!

    If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

  • My speaker system won't work with the 6th gen nano

    Why won't my Logitech Speaker system for the iPod play or charge my 6th gen nano? It's worked for all of my other nano's. I hope there's no compatability issues.

    I'm having almost the exact same problem with my JBL On Stage Micro Speaker (from around 1996) except it charges and syncs my Nano 6G OK. It just won't play the Nano thru the speakers. All my other iPods have played fine sitting in the JBL speaker including my Touch 4G from fall 2010.
    The only thing I can think of is that the dock connector in the Nano 6G is wired differently? It would be interesting to hear if anyone has speakers that play using the Nano dock connector. Or if someone from Apple would let us know if the dock connector pin-outs have changed. Very sucky!

  • Can the voiceover utility on the 6th gen Nano be accessed with headphones other than the Apple earphones?

    Can the voiceover utility on the 6th gen Nano be accessed with headphones other than the Apple earphones?

    No I have tried and they don't also my iPod touch 2nd generation doesn't work with voice control unless it has apple earbuds plugged in. I guess apple doesn't want 3rd party brads interfering with their company. Thanks please like

  • 6th gen nano with nike + playlists don't shuffle

    I switched from 1st gen nano to the 6th gen nano last week and one thing that I noticed is my playlists when hooked up to nike + sensor don't shuffle. I hear the same songs in order every run! It's frustrating because the 1st gen nano if shuffle is turned on for songs will shuffle your playlist songs in nike + mode the 6th gen doesn't. I shook the heck out of it and still it's the same song. Turned off shake when shuffle to see if their's a shuffle choice nope. Anyone else find this frustrating?
    I have a call in to tech support this morning going to ask them this question seems I missing something or the 6th is missing this option.

    I have the very same problem! And the calibration is a pain but it's getting better. "Default calibration... is accurate for many users" pshh...
    You should let me know if you find out a way to get past this!

  • My apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

    my apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

    Hi fejevitzky,
    Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.

    My 6th gen nano has suddenly stoped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest dowloaded tunes from the itunes store.

    The ipod shows on iTunes and it says it's syncing, but no content is transfered.
    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
