How to listen to radio when the iPod nano is docked?

On the iPod, the antenna for the radio is the cable of the earspeakers. However the earplug is on the same side as the docking plug. Is there any accesoire for that or should I make my own design?

If your docking station has a line-in input, you can get a male to male audio cable and it will act as the antenna. I just did this with my nano and it works fine. Only prob is you can't adjust the volume with your docking station remote and the vol on the nano only goes so high. Hope this helps.

  • How can i listen to radio when the ipod nano is placed in a dockingstation?

    The radio antenna is integrated in the earphones. But the earphonesocket is placed on the buttom of the ipod and must be removed when placed in the dockingstation. Without antenna no radio.
    Do wee need a special dockingstation adapter with antenna for ipod 5g?
    (Who thought it was good idea to put the earphonesocket in the buttom of the device!?)
    I can put my ipod classic in the dockingstation and connect the earphones on the top of the device. It plays through the dockingstation and the earphones as well.

  • Quick question about the FM Radio in the iPod Nano

    Can I listen to stations not in my geographical region? For example, can I listen to LBC outside of London?

    With FM radio, You can not reach the stations that don't broadcast in your region. But you can listen to them online (if they broadcast tha station online), by computer or some apps on cell phone.

  • How do you calibtate Running in the Ipod Nano 7g?

    I read the manual. Run multiple times. Entered calibration numbers each time,  I get new mileage based on the calibration numbers.  It all seems great. Problem is it recalibrates WALKING nut RUNNING. Apple, after many back and forth discussions, offered to my Nano 7G for a new one.  Didn't run all winter and just tried it today, same thing.  Apple says its Nike+ firmware problem; Nike says its an Apple problem.  The 7G would be pefect otherwise. I use the 5S with various aps for running as a result, and it works rather well even with the annoying oddities of the free aps. It would be great if Apple made an iPhone the same size as the 7G, but I read now the iPhone 6 will be is even bigger than the 5S.  The Nano 7G calibration problem would be east to fix if they GAS, but they don't.  P.S. The 7G manual wasn't proof read very well.

    The cable comes with the shuffle.

  • How come apple doesnt add a radio to the ipod touch like and ipod nano

    Apple should add a radio app to the ipod touch just like they did to the ipod nano. It doesnt have to be am/fm it could just be and fm radio like the ipod nano. If they were to add that feature they should add it to the next ipod touch update.

    Apple does not announce why it does, or does not do, many things like that and it is against the terms of this forum to speculate on such things.  To make a recommendation to Apple see:

  • Is it possible to find out when was ipod nano 6th gen last time connected to the iTunes?

    Hi
    I would like to know is it possible to trace this information using serial number or is it possible to get this info from some authorized personal?
    Thanks in advance

    You may not be able to show "When" the iPod nano was plugged in, but you can find out when the last sync was.  Open the desktop iTunes app (you don't need to plug the nano in), choose the iTunes drop down menu, select "Preferences" {or after opening iTunes, use Command-Comma to show the Preferences, select the "Devices" icon.  It will show all devices which have been synced.  This may or may not show if logged in under another user.  This is only the easiest way.  Jim

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

    From my limited knowledge the iPod Nano has no support for iCloud or wireless transfers- therefore the only means of downloading songs is by hooking it up to the computer by the white cable.

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    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.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    iPod nano (7th generation)
    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.
