HT4316 my 6th gen nano won't p/u any radio signals when I plug in earbuds

My 6th gen nano doesn't seem to recognize the earbuds are inserted.  It tells me to insert them in order to p/u radio signals when they are already in.  How can I get FM radio to work? Thx!

I don't understand why you only recvd 5pts, I clicked on "This solved my question", as it did.
I had tried 3 sets of headphones but not inserted them far enough in, afraid of damaging my
new gadget.  I was quite frustrated.  Anyway, I suppose 5 beats 0, thank you again and I
apologize for points mixup.

  • My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this. I updated both windows and iTunes.

    Work through all the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

  • 6th gen nano won't charge

    I got my wife a new 6th gen nano.  It operates just fine...as long as it's plugged into my PC.  I can put songs on it, use the touch screen, etc. The display shows the battery with the plug icon on it, which I assume means it's plugged in, but not charging.  As soon as I disconnect it, the ipod won;t work at all. No power ups, nothing at all.  I tried resetting it when plugged in, but it made no difference.  I've tried charging it on the PC via the USB cable, on my car charger for my 5th gen ipod, and using the AC adapter, but with no luck.  Do i just have a bad battery or what?!

    Take the iPod  to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • 6th Gen Nano won't play content longer than 1440 minutes

    Audible.com now allows for single file download of audio books which can be sync'd to iPod. However the iPod cannot plan content longer than 24 hours in length. You will ned to download the segmented audio if the program is longer than 1440 minutes long.

    Hi, just found this after Googling the same problem. I hope this will help other Audible.com users who like long biographies and the like, but can't play them to the end on their iPods.
    My iPod Nano is a gen 7, and either starts stuttering like a stuck LP record or jumps back to page one of the audiobook after flawlessly playing a good part of a long book. I suppose it must be about 24 hours into it, as it didn't falter on a 23+ hour book. My laptop and my Kindle would play the books all the way to the end, so it wasn't a problem with the files themselves. The local Apple store tried reinstalling the iPod's firmware, to no avail, so they gave me a new iPod. I had the same problem with the new device.
    Today I had a talk with a supervisor in the Apple support group who was sympathetic and said that she would refer the issue to their engineeriing staff and get back to me. In the meantime, I talked with Audible.com, and the support guy there solved the problem for me. All you have to do is sign in to your Audible account, go to your Library, and find the "Audio Quality" button at the upper right corner. Mine was on "Enhanced", and he had me switch it to "Format 4". That resulted in all the audiobooks in the library to be displayed as both a single file and as multiple files (Part 1, 2, 3, etc.). I was able to download the final parts and successfully listened to them on my iPod.
    Nonetheless, this does seem like an issue that Apple would want to address with a software enhancement.

  • 6th Gen Nano Won't Work In My Car After Restore

    When I first bought my Red Nano, it wouldn't work with my car mp3 player. I took it to a Genius Bar, and the guy said he'd try some type of update. Whatever he did, it worked. Yesterday my Nano started acting wonky, so I restored it today. Now it won't play in my car. Does anyone have any idea what the Genius guy might have done to make it work last time?

    After trying reset, reinstall, blah, blah, blah, I got the wild idea to see if my Classic would still play in my car. It did. So I tried my Nano again. This time it worked. I don't know why, all I care about is that it's working again.

  • 6th gen nano won't recognize being rotated

    One of the features of the 6th generation iPod nano is use of the accelerometer, that it will recognize being rotated and rotate the display accordingly. Is this a setting that needs to be enabled beforehand, or would you suspect a hardware problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    Edit: You know what, I'm going to read the manual from now on. You manually rotate the display, for all those curious.

  • My 6th gen nano won't let me put my correct height in.

    I'm 5'2 and every other height works. It autocorrects to 5'1. I've tried to restore and update.

    I am having the same problem (I am also 5'2") and it has been a nightmare. I was told to return the i-pod nano (which meant having to schedule an appointment and wait a long time for the store staff person to assist). Then when I tried to exchange it for the same color they were out. I received a different color (which I don't like as much) and it still has the same problem. Tech support had me delete and reinstall software several different times and then finally told me there was a fix in the works and it would be available in the next update. It has been months and nothing has happened. I would have rathered that the first time I contacted tech support they simply would have said there is a fix in the works (and don't hold your breath). I spent a lot of time running around trying to fix a problem that presumably Apple already knew about and is "working" on repairing.

  • 6th gen nano won't go to sleep/white screen

    I washed my nano! I put it in a bag of rice for a few days.  When I push the sleep button, a white screen comes on that says OK to disconnect. I have tried resetting. The apple logo comes up and then goes to the white screen, saying Do not disconnect and then back to OK to disconnect.  I have connected it to my mac and its recognized in itunes.  It will let me add music to it.  I have restored it a few times and still the same thing.  I have tried to get it to go into disk mode by holding the sleep button and the volume down button, waiting for the black screen and then pressing the volume buttons together as suggested in apple support.  The apple logo just comes back up again and then to the white screen.  It doesn't go into disk mode. Any ideas?

    If the rice trick did not work, the Nano seems to be in need of service: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    Since water damage is not covered by the warranty, you'll have to pay for the replacement:

  • 6th gen nano won't sync with iTunes

    I was able to plug in and sync my nano when I first got it. But after I updated my nano, it shows this message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identifed properly. I assume this is because the version of iTunes that I am using (10.1) is not compatible with the updates on my nano. However, this is the latest version of iTunes that I could get on my computer and I can't update to a later version (I have tried everything that has been suggested on the discussion boards). I can't return the nano to factory settings because that requires iTunes. I have tried formating my iPod, but all that did was erase all my songs off of it. Can someone please help me?

    However, this is the latest version of iTunes that I could get on my computer and I can't update to a later version
    Can you walk us through what happens when you try to update iTunes?
    If you get any error messages, let us know what they say. (Precise text, please.)

  • Issues with syncing 2 IPOD 6th Gen Nano's to one computer

    we have 2 new IPOD 6th Gen.  I can sync mine in ITunes, but when I plug in the 2nd one (which has a different owners name) to sync, the device comes up, but when I hit the sync button nothing is happening.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • 6th gen nano - headphone jack won't hold.

    I just got the shiny new 6th gen nano from the 1st gen replacement program. I tried 3 different headphones and the connector won't stay in. It feels like the jack is too big. I was  using these headphones just fine with the 1st gen nano. Is the jack on the 6th gen different, or did I perhaps get a defective replacement?

    Nothing wrong with that. Glad to hear that it resolved the issue.

  • 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!

  • My pc does not meet the minimum operating system requirements for the 6th gen nano. Is there anything I can do to make it work?  This was sent to me from Apple after my previous Nano was recalled.

    I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

  • HT202183 My power button on 6th gen nano stopped working.

    hello everybody.
    the power button on my 6th gen nano stopped working. everything else is ok but won't switch on unless plugged in to power. then its fine.
    I think the power button is broken/stuck.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    If so how did you fix it/ how much did it cost to fix?

    Take the iPod Nano into an Apple Store.  After the folks there examine it, they will quote you an estimate.  Or you can call them and ask.
