I want my nano to update like my shuffle, but no luck!

the one thing i loved about my shuffle was it's ability to be inserted and automatically fill with ONLY the EXACT amount of songs that space would allow.
on my nano, i've been trying to do it manually, only to find that it will fill only as far as it can get in the playlist--not randomly.
so i tried the trick of creating a smart playlist, and set it to fill up with 3G of songs from a certain playlist, a playlist that is 4.39G. (i wish it would allow me to set 3.5 but alas it won't do fractions).
so i created a second playlist to fill up to 500MB.
Youd think I'd be up to 3.5G, right? nope, it won't fill. you apparently have to have not one kilobyte more than what's in the song playlist or it just won't fill it up to it's limit.
Any workarounds here? I just simply want my nano to act like my shuffle. Seems like a script has been written, why not apply it to the Nano like apple did to the shuffle?
::confused::

Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

Can the iPod nano auto sync (like the shuffle)?

Ok, I think I am going to enjoy the new nano over the shuffle, especially for running...but do I miss autosync for the shuffle.
Is there a way to do this for Nano? I have 60 gigs worth of songs, and only 5 gigs of space on nano.
Thanks,
plarsen111

Make a new Smart playlist. Limit it to 5 gigs. Set the Nano to sync only selected playlists (Music tab) and check that playlist.
For playlist criteria, I'd set something like, Last Played is not within the last 5 days and be sure to select Live updating. This way, as you play songs, they will roll off the list for a while.

How to trick nano into thinking like a shuffle?

I am tired of the 300+ songs in various smart playlists I created on my nano. How do I get rid of these and randomly select, say, 100 other blues songs from my library? Is there an easy way to do something like an "autofill" on the nano, or set different parameters on the smart playlists to select completely different songs?

Here is the joy of smart playlists: You create one big playlist. Then you create smart playlists that pull songs out of the one big playlist, but add a new condition.
Say you create a big playlist called Rotate. Now you can create a new smart playlist with the conditions Playlist is Rotate AND Genre is Blues. Same songs, but you're pulling out just the one genre. And this playlist takes up no space on your nano, as the songs are already there.
Another technique is to enable the Genre menu on your nano. Then you don't have to create new playlists to break out different genres.

one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

OK, I downloaded the utility, but during the installation process I was advised to shut down Outlook, or restart it after installation. I immediately cancelled the installation. Obviously, this thing is going to muck about with Outlook. I don't want anything to be touching or looking at any of my installed program unless I tell it too AFTER I fully understand what it is doing and how to reverse the whole process in case it gets mucked up.
I looked for a manual or some sort of documentation on the configuration utility, but there does not seem to be any.
Anyone have a link to program documentation for
iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6.2 for Windows?
I find it incredilble that there does not seem to be a stand alone, plug the usb cable in, and make a back up (system image) of an iPhone. After all, the thing seems to be hand held computer. Why not have a simple back up utility? Even the newer phones only have, what, a few GB. Lots of images would fit on an outboard TB disk.
Then if every thing gets FUBAR, simply restore the phone the the last working image.
Does no one keep controled squential backups of iPhones and iPads like you should do with any other computer, workstation or laptop that is a serious business tool?
iTunes for back-up. Does and business seriously do that?
iCloud? I'd be fired if the boss caught me putting client contact information on 'the cloud' or anything outside my secured hard drives. (Unless we have a specific paid contract for services).
My company does not even allow wifi in the office. Security begins with a hard wired connection.
sigh....

I just want to keep CSx updated and continue to use it like I have been.

I'm an individual.. One computer!, no team or bank of computers... Just me..
I don't need a cloud! I don't want a cloud!
I just want to keep CSx updated. and continue to use it like I have been.
Cost me about $600 every other year to keep this updated.
I can afford $600/every other year.
What do I need to do to keep using The Design Premium CSx ??

Short answer: You are [or eventually will be] outdated and out of luck.
I've been a master collection user since it's been availaboe, but I've been struggling with this and other questions, and have come to the conclusion that I need to be proactive in looking for alternatives, so when the day comes that CS6 stops working on new hardware, I'll have options.
My biggest concern is that with the current CC model, if a user decides to stop, or can't afford, their subscription fee, thirty days later they loose access to ALL THEIR CREATIVE WORK-- without monthly activation, all the CC software STOPS WORKING!
Moreover, after everyone is on the CC hook, what is to stop Adobe from charging $100 per month, or $300.... As a huge company driven by investors and quarterly profits they will charge whatever the market will bear. Many will be held hostage to the subscription fee, no matter how high it goes, because they won't be able to afford to loose access their creative work. So... going forward the market will probably bear a lot more than $49 per month.
Then, if this wasn't enough risk, there is also the dependence on the web and Adobe's IT infrastructure to keep the software "activated". I know it is probably extremely unlikely, but what if they suffer a cyber-attack like many other large and theoretically "secure" companies? What kind of havoc could an attacker wreak with the creative community if suddenly all our software stopped working? You may laugh, but I just read an article today on cNet Security about how Twitter's domain registration was hacked by SEA-- at least for a brief time, SEA was the admin for the Twitter domain records.
Since hearing Adobe's plans, I realised that over the years, with the exception of 3D, I've gravitated to Adobe for all my creative work-- they really do make great software. Even though this represents a huge investment in time and "learning curve", I've started to seriously evaluate alternatives. When the day comes that CS6 is no longer working on new hardware, I hopefully will already be using other brands.
My current thinking: If Apple makes FCP 11 a professional tool again, that would be my first choice for video. If they don't, I've been taking a hard look at Sony Vegas-- or there is always Avid. For compositing, while I really know and love After Effects, I have a copy of Eyeon's Digital Fusion that came free with Lightwave3D that I've never even installed. It is now out of the closet and sitting on my desk, waiting until I have a few minutes to install it to give it a try. For photo editing and vector graphics, I've been looking at the Corel suite-- I haven't used Corel in years, as it always seemed "clunky" compared to Illustrator, but it is a viable alternative, and used and loved by many. Photoshop is an industry standard and I've used it for fifteen years, but I also have both Gimp and Cinepaint on Mac, and use them frequently already. They aren't as capable or as slick as Photoshop, but they do everything I need, so photo editing is covered. As far as web tools, Dreamweaver is nice, but web development can be done with any editor. Flash (and all browser plugin technology) is being supplanted by HTML5 and Javascript, so loosing Flash, going forward, is no great loss. I haven't used it in over a year anyway, but f I really need 2D animation there is always (gasp) Silverlight, and maybe also other tools that I'm currently unaware of. InDesign isn't a concern for me as I almost never do print.
So bottom line for me: If Adobe works out a compromise where the software keeps working even if the subscription lapses, then it would be a different ballgame for me. I'd even be willing to agree to pay two or three year contract before the perpetual license kicked in. However, as it stands, the CC subscription (and potentially vanishing software) represents a level of trust in Adobe that I'm not prepared to give.

Mystery- how has my old nano been updated with my new playlists in iTunes when I haven't synced it?

I got given a 2gb nano in 2005, which I filled up with imported cd music, not wanting an Apple account and not wanting to pay for music that I already have on cd (was in music industry for years, and like to own the physical product rather than a download that then needs backing up). Anway, lovely bf has bought me a 7th gen 160gb pod for Xmas, so I was merrily organising playlists and preparing to load the whole 45gb of music onto my new shiny ipod. Got my old nano out yesterday, and found that all the playlists that were there have been replaced by the first few new playlists I've made in iTunes. I am not using Match, or thieving Cloud, and I haven't had the nano anywhere near the computer for the last 3 or 4 years! I don't remember registering the nano with Apple, but the new one has definitely been registered (several conversations with Apple because Amazon sent us a "new" iPod that had already been opened, language and clock set to Australian time (the London clock said 9.47pm YESTERDAY), and replaced it with another "new" one with the same issues (replacement hadn't even been shrinkwrapped, just the bare and slightly battered box).
Is this something that the cloud has done? And if so, how come it's done it to my baby nano, and not to the new Classic 160gb? It means it ran out of space, so effectively it's wiped off all the music that has been on there for years, and replaced it with as much as it could fit on, working from the top of the playlist list........
Having read about how the cloud nicks things and won't let you access them if you disconnect from cloud (not that I'm aware of having connected to the **** thing anyway), I'm now going to have to do a back up so that when I tell cloud to bog off, I can still copy any missing music back into iTunes.
Has anyone got an explanation for how my nano's content has been changed without me doing anything except changing my playlists in iTunes, and has it happened to anyone else?
Also, why did nobody at Apple stop to thing that "pushing" data to all your Apple devices is bound to cause problems when each device's capacity is so different from the others? My iPad is the first and small one (32gb I think), the nano is 2gb, my new Pod is 160gb, and what's in iTunes is 35gb. It's also tried to put my music library onto the iPad, announced there wasn't room (I had already selectively downloaded some music on to it when I got it 2 years ago), and wiped off all the music that was on that. It currently says there's nothing on it BUT also says it's full. I'm not very happy with Apple at the moment!
The only device listed in iTunes is the iPad, dated as Xmas 2010. Should I remove that from there?
iTunes is ALWAYS set to "prevent automatic sync" because until now, I haven't had a device with sufficient capacity to put the whole library on to, so even if I had plugged the nano in, I would have had to have selected the whole library in order for this mysterious over-writing to have happened.
Answers, anyone?
Thanks in advance :-)
Nikki

When iTunes removed the ping feature they replaced it with an internal check on feeds - based on the frequency of new episodes - so your feed may take a week or more to show up the changes.
http://www.nobodydanceshere.com/blog/feed/podcast/
Looking at your feed it is showing a last build date of 5/26/2012 - so the next time iTunes checks your feed it should update your info.
But since it has been since 2010 since your last update - you do need to wait a bit before iTunes checks your feed again.

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

4 Gig Nano not updating/Cant write to this disk error. Please Help!

Hi. I have a Ipod Nano 4g. (actually my husbands.. but anyway) he will load it to his computer and it starts updating, recognizes it.. everything looks perfect then after about 4 songs sometimes 3 or 8.. but generally within minutes it stops updating and says "cant read or write to this disk" something like that. The restoring didnt help.
Its a desktop computer with XP on it.. any suggestions?

Aurara keeps wanting to update to 16.0a2, but it's already updated to 16.0a2

Every day, I get this pop-up window telling me to update to 16.0a2. It must have worked as this is the version I ran - but still, the update message.
So I uninstalled (Revo Uninstaller), cleaned caches and ran a couple of registry cleaners (CCleaner & Wise Reg Cleaner), rebooted, reinstalled a fresh copy of aurora v16.0a2... still the update message. :(

The Aurora channel is a pre-release development channel which receives updates almost everyday, but the version number rarely changes. Like once when it is Nightly, when that version moves from the Nightly to the Aurora channel, and maybe once (if at all) before it advances to the Beta channel, where version numbers don't even appear in the UI and it is simply known as Firefox with no Beta designation any more.
If you type '''about:buildconfig''' in the URL bar and hit Enter, and then click on '''Source''' '''''built from''''', you'll see the "changeset" information about the changes included in the update.
If you don't want those almost daily updates get rid of Aurora and use the Firefox release version, or use Firefox Beta which receives updates less frequently - like every week to 10 days, and when it is close to release like every 2 to 3 weeks.

Problem with Nano after Updating

I recently bought an iPod Nano (Model MA005LL). When I first tried to put songs into it from iTunes it seemed like it worked - iTunes recognized it and successfully transferred the files. Then I noticed that couple of purchased songs didn't make it to my Nano's Playlist. I realized that I had to update the iPod Firmware. So, I downloaded & installed the latest Updater on my PC (running Win2K).
That's when the problem happened - during the update process, both my PC and Nano froze. So, I had no choice but to disconnect the Nano and kill the updater process. Since then neither does my iTunes recognize my Nano nor does the updater.
I think my PC recognizes it because whenever I disconnect the USB chord, the PC complains that I unplugged a device without stopping it first. Also, whenever I try to open Windows Explorer, it behaves extremely slow; whenever I plug it out, explorer goes back to normal.
I have tried ALL the 5 Rs and nothing works - the updater freezes everytime I try to use it with the iPod; so I can't restore it using the updater.
Another strange thing is that when I click on About, it not only says zero Songs & Photos, it also says 0 KB for Capacity & Available. The version does say 1.2 though. Also, the Format says Unknown.
So, at this point of time, my Nano is pretty much useless. I would really appreciate if anybody could please help me fix it such that I don't need to take it back to the store.

look on page 16(Help Nano 2g update problem) and if that does not help there is a really good one that I used myself on page 20(Problem with the update) which has a really good step by step process that returned mine to perfect working condition.

I want my nano to update like my shuffle, but no luck!
