How do I get my iPod Nano 7th Gen. to sort by Artist and not Album Artist?

Why does my iPod Nano 7th sort by Album Artist? And how do I get it to sort/view by just purely Artist like on my iTunes?

Check with the manufacturer of your radio and see if they have a compatible cable.

    Hi TheGuru146,
    It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.

    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

    iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
    It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
    I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 

  • My ipod nano 7th gen has suddenly gone black and it wont turn on or connect to a power source.

    I was listening to my ipod nano 7th gen when it went black and the music stopped playing.  It wont turn on when i press the power button and when i connect it up to charge the screen doesn't turn on.  Can anyone tell me how to turn it on again or give me suggestions. 
    Much appriciated,

    Hey MissC@t,
    Although the following article says 6th generation, most of the troubleshooting steps should still apply to your 7th generation nano. I'd go through the troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue:

  • How can I get iPod touch with IOS5 to sort by song artist and not album artist?

    Since updating to IOS5 many song artist are missing. I set up iTunes to sort on song artist but when I sync, my ipod tyrs to sort by album artist not song artist. How can I get the ipod touch to sort by song artist???? Most of my Song artists show up under Various which is the entry for album artist. Please help! I have aver 9000 songs with this problem. If I can't solve this issue, I will have to return to using my Toshiba Gigabeat which allows me to sort be album artist. IOS-5 was a step backwards.

    Go to settings.

  • Does anyone know the battery life (how many hours)of new ipod nano 7th gen while using bluetooth?

    Hoping to find out the battery life of the new nano (7th generation) while using bluetooth.  Has anyone found out how many hours the new one gets with BT? 
    I have the 6th generation nano, and while using bluetooth it only makes about 3 hours before being fully drained. 

    About 9 hours continuous runtime with BT + music playback in this review at least - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/apple-ipod-nano-seventh-generatio n/P5

  • How can I get my ipod nano (6th gen) to stop making a static-y noise when I try to listen to my music? It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it.

    It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it. I try plugging it in to my iTunes and when I un-plug it, it still makes the loud static noise. I have also tried tapping my knuckle on the back of my ipod nano. This has not damaged it at all nor caused this to my ipod. There is no water damage to the ipod. Only a few scratches from a couple drops. The drops have been on concrete but not at a very high distance. How to I stop this? Do I need to replace my ipod instead?

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

  • How can I lock the screen on ipod nano 7th gen?

    How can I lock the ipod nano 7th gen? Just pressing the top button doesnt cut it as it still starts to play music or pauses or change volume with the slightest knock im in 2 minds to take it back if you cant lock it as ive only had it 4 days and already found this a huge problem!

    Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
    That's an old discussion about (failure vs feature), but I wonder about if you are running, you can let the screen locked and still change or pause the song by pressing the buttons on the side of the iPod)
    hope I could help you

  • Ipod nano 7th gen not turning on or connecting to laptop??

    My son's ipod nano 7th gen won't turn on and when I connect it to the lap top a message comes up saying device driver not recognised - he was listening to it just last night, can anyone help? He's only had it since his birthday in November.

    I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

  • Water damaged ipod nano 7th gen.

    I washed my ipod nano 7th gen. in the washing machine and it wont turn on. I tryed plugging it in to the charger and still wont turn on. Any help could help.

    Charging it while still wet will cause damaged to your nano. Try what deggie said.....
    You can try putting it in a bowl of raw rice for 4 to 5 days, charging it for a half-hour then resetting it while it is on the charger.
    I done this trick a few years ago with a 5th generation nano. It turned back on.

  • Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

    i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.

    have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
    My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
    I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
    Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    Dimitris.

  • How do i get my ipod nano touch screen fixed?

    How do i get the ipod nano touch screen fixed?

    Hello Kimberly j,
    You can either set up a service request with Apple through this or you can bring it into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them set one up for you.

    Another option would be a 3rd party repair company who would be able to fix the iPod at a much lower cost.
