How to set nano 7th gen to accept podcast downloads

I downloaded (I thought) podcasts from the iTunes store yesterday.  My Nano was plugged into the computer. A pop up menu asked if I wanted to accept/subscribe (don't remember which) to podcasts and I checked yes.  Today when I plugged in my Nano, there is no podcast category in my library and when I check the Nano itself, it shows no podcasts.  I checked the general settings and "podcast" is greyed out so I can't check that I want podcasts to be automatically synced.  What do I need to do to get podcasts downloaded into my iTunes library and synced to my Nano?

This did nto solve my problem.  I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple.  The first "tech" had little idea of what I was talking about, suggested things that did not work, and set a call back (so he could try and find an answer) at the wrong time.
Not getting the call back at the time it was supposed to happen, I went through the whole calling Apple again.
This time I got a real tech who, when she couldn't figure out what was wrong, got a supervisor (Lynette) to take over.  Lynette arranged to "see" my computer so she could better understand the problem.  She, too, was perplexed.  Because I'd been on the phone for almost 2 hours, I asked if she would call me back in the morning and she agreed, that would give her time to research. 
Well, 10 minutes later the phone rang and Lynette asked me to go to the computer and open "Parental" in the iTunes settings.  (A bit of necessary background: the local Apple store had given me a replacement Nano 3 days prior because my new one was getting too much radio static.  I assumed it was a new Nano, but it was apparently a refurbished one, and it had not been totally cleaned.) I had never thought to open the parental category as I don't have kids in the house.  Guess what...when I opened it, both podcast and radio had been check to no allow!  Lynette was as happy as I was; she said she knew she couldn't leave without solving the problem so kept fooling with it.
Lynett rocks!!!

  • How calibrate iPod nano 7th gen ???

    I have read the manual, and tried everything I can think of, I do NOT understand how to calibrate my nano 7th generation ipod.
    The manual says:
    Calibrating iPod nano
    For more accurate workout statistics, make sure your height and weight are set accurately and calibrate iPod nano more than one time. Each time you calibrate iPod nano, its accuracy improves.
    Calibrate iPod nano:
    1 On the Home screen, tap Fitness > Run.
    2 Tap a workout type (see Creating workouts with music on page 36).
    3 Walk or run for at least one-quarter mile (0.4 kilometers).
    4 End your workout, then tap Calibrate.
    The Calibrate button appears at the bottom of the workout summary if the workout qualified for calibration. You may need to flick up to see it.
    This never happens.
    When I end the workout it says tap the Calibrate button, there is NO Calibrate button. At first I thought they meant the Reset Calibrate, but that doesn't get me anywhere. I did this 6 times, it always does the same thing.
    Is this a process that only applies to the Nike thing ? I don't have one of those, and the manual does not seem to say that.
    How do I calibrate just the Nano ??????

    i found these instructions and they worked like a charm (fyi; don't turn the sensor on or it doesn't work):
    1. From your iPod nano’s home screen, navigate to Fitness.
    2. Tap Run.
    3. Select your desired workout type and music.
    4. Tap Start.
    5. Before you begin running, position your iPod nano at your hip (i.e., in a pocket) or your bicep (i.e., in an armband). These positions allow the accelerometer to capture your movement most accurately.
    6. Run or walk a known distance at a steady pace, without stopping or pausing.
    7. After completing your calibration distance, tap End Workout. 8. If your workout is eligible for calibration, a Calibrate button will appear beneath your workout summary. Tap this button to calibrate your workout. 9. Adjust the workout distance displayed on your screen to match the distance you actually ran.
    Note: If the Calibrate button does not appear, the workout is ineligible for calibration. Please review the calibration procedure and try again.
    i had trouble figuring it out and when i found this i was surprised how simple it was.....i made several failed attempts too

  • How to Charge Nano 7th Gen Ipod

    7th Generation Nano Ipod
    1.  When plugged into the automobile USB for playing music (system: Entune Toyota) is the Nano also being charged?
    2.  Is the Nano charging when plugged into the USB in a PC desktop computer that is on?
    3.  Can the Ipad 2 electric connection (10 watt USB Power Adapter (using house power (110 volts)) - the little square white connector used to recharge the Ipad 2 batter) be used to charge the Nano?  That is, instead of inserting the Ipad 2 into the connector to charge the Ipad, can I insert the Nano's USB connection into the connector to recharge the Nano? 

    1.  Found it does charge in the Toyota.
    2.  Still pending.
    3.  Probably best not; disparity between ipad and ipod (10 versus 5 watts).

    I am going out of my mind.  I purchased over 200 songs via itunes and can not get them on to my i pod nano 7th gen no matter what ai try--- All my music is also srored in my i cloud--- Does any one know how to move it from the i cloud to the 7th gen i pod nano?

    As the sound quality on the iphone is no where near as good as on the Nano ( which is meant to ONLY BE A MUSIC PLAYER)----I really want to listen to it on my new Nano----What the **** is wrong with Apple that they enjoy torturing us with ever new product upgrade release that they don' t tell anyone how to use!
    ***!--Apple   you SUCK at customer service and support, which is why all these user groups have cropped up trying to help each other. as Apple is not interest ed in customer service, only in selling us things they don't, can't or just plain won't tell us how to operate!!!

  • How can i connect my ipod nano 7th gen to my car?

    Hi, how can I connect my ipod nano 7th gen to my car with bluetooth? Since I only have onstar device on my car but no bluetooth device, do I need to buy extra device to connect my ipod ? And what kind of device I shall choose? Thank you!

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

  • I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that i sync from my mac.  The problem is, it stops at the end of each CD.  How can I get it to continue on to the hanks, Wendy

    I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that I sync from my Mac.  The problem is that it stops at the end of each CD (very annoying).  How can I get it to continue on the the next CD?  Thanks, Wendy

    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?

  • When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • 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

  • How to stream movies from an ipod nano 7th gen

    I just bought an iPod nano 7th gen and I own an Apple TV and a lightning connector  to hdmi cable. Is there a way to put movies from my iPod on my tv

    The 6th gen nano could not play videos, so it certainly could not stream them to a TV.  It may have been able to show photo slideshows on a TV screen.
    The 5th gen nano (plus 3rd and 4th gen) may have had the ability, but I don't think its output was HDMI.  You could use this
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
    to output a composite (non-digital) signal to a TV.  But the new nano has a Lightning connector, so I probably won't work (even if you use an adapter).

  • 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.
    I have successfully done this in the past.
    now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
    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.

  • Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

    I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
    I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
    So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

    Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
    Happy New Year to you all.

  • 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 no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
