I just got an ipod nano and every song shuts off halfway through . . .

Does anyone know how to prevent that? It seems odd that it came that way.

I am sorry to upset you, but what I am describing here is exactly what is happening.
If your 6th Gen Nano turns off when the screen goes dark, then that is because the Nano has not detected the headset as inserted. That is what is is supposed to do under 1.1 in order to save battery power. If it does not detect a headset, it pauses the Nano when the screen darkens.
The question is WHY is it not detecting the headset. My post above completely explores the ways to solve your problem. If after doing what I describe it still does not work, then you should take it to the Apple store since the physical headset jack may have a defect.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

My wife has just got a iPod Nano and I have a Ipod Mini

My wife has just bought herself an iPod Nano and I have a Mini-iPod.
However she plugged in her Nano and it opened my iTunes and attempted to put on the album artwork for my albums.
I have told her to reset to factory settings but I have a question.
Do we have to install the disc again for a seperate iTunes or is there another way to register her iPod with my copy of iTunes?

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

Connect your Nano to your computer, in iTunes if you do not get a pop-up box that says there is an update available move to the Summary tab and click Update.

I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.

I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

I just got the Ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect to my computer. I called the apple company, and the said it was defaulted, and to send it in and they would replace it. Will I get a new one?

I just got the ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect into my computer. I took it back to best buy and they said it had a defulted battery, and that I needed to call the company. So I did and they had me send it in. Will they send me a new ipod, or a refurbished one. I havn't even had the ipod long enough, and I paid good money for it. I'm hoping to get a new one, because it wasn't my fault.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

By calling iPod tech support while you are under warranty. You also have 14 days to return it w/no questions asked for a replacement or your $$$ back.

I have an iPad w iTunes. My hubby just got a new nano and I'd like to sync our music to his nano, but dont know how. Help we've already taken a great mp3 back to exchange it for this nano.

I have an iPad w iTunes, my hubby just got a new nano and we would like to sync music from my iPad (and not lose my songs in the process). I do not have iTunes on a pc so I don't know how to share music.

There is no way to share your music on the iPad to his Nano without a computer - that I can think of anyway. No third party application will work unless both devices have WiFi and many of them require a computer as well.
I would suggest downloading iTunes on your PC, transfer your music to the iTunes library and then sync the Nano.
Maybe I am missing something but I don't think this is possible as you are currently set up.
