  • HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  Help!

    reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
    Help!

  • Error Message for Videos when using 2 computers and 1 iPod Nano 5th Gen

    I have a 5th Gen iPod Nano and a PC (XP) and Laptop (Vista). I store my free digital copies of movies on the Laptop and all other media on the PC. I have both computers set to share iTunes libraries. When I tried to sync some TV shows from the PC to the Nano I got this error message: The iPod "xxxx" is currently linked to another iTunes library on the computer "xxxx". In order to copy the TV Show "xxxx" to this iPod you must link this iPod with this iTunes library. Doing so will remove 3 movies including 'xxxx' from this iPod.
    Questions: 1)Why only videos and not music or podcasts? No problems with any other syncing and don't lose my music from the PC when I sync movies from the laptop. 2)Is there a fix for this?
    I was able to do a work-around by copying the TV shows to a USB memory device and then transfering them to the iTunes on the laptop. I could then sync both the movies and the TV shows to the Nano.
    I'm new at this iPod stuff and would appreciate your input.
    Thanks.

    Does this problematic song play okay in iTunes?  Have you tried removing and resyncing it to your device via iTunes?

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • 2nd gen iPod nano has blurry, upside down and backwards text suddenly

    I have a second gen iPod nano and after a couple of weeks the screen is blurry upside down and the text is backwards. I have tried resetting it and restoring to factory defaults. Nothing helps. It is fully charged. I followed the troubleshooting instructions from Apple and I didn't find this listed on the forum.  Thanks for the help.

    I would have to disagree with you. I like the shake and shuffle feature. I would assume people also use ipods for travelling/commuting. Bus rides, trains, flights and so on.
    But, to each their own opinions I guess.
    Peace!

  • Can you sync games and apps to the 6th gen iPod nano?

    Hi, is it possible to sync games and apps to the 6th gen iPod nano because it is a touch screen?
    Thanks,

    No.  Apps are only compatible with devices running iOS such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.

  • RDS data display and 3rd gen iPod nano

    Will RDS data be displayed for compatibile stations when using the Radio remote with 3rd gen iPod nano?

    Since the iPod radio remote isn't compatible with the 3rd gen nano, the answer is probably no.
    I've found that the radio/remote often does work with iPods that are not listed as compatible, but that some of the features (such as RDS) do not or at least if they do work, they're pretty hit and miss.

  • The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

  • I recently purchased a 7th Gen iPod nano which I have downloaded my music to. However, when I try to play this it is showing on the iPod as play but I am getting no sound through. I have checked the headphones and reset it. Any ideas?

    Haha I had the exact same problem. Once I had tried it like 4 different pairs of headphones i was ready to give my iPod back. Then I tried pushing the headphones in further and proceeded to kick myself. I seems a lot of people have the same problem, post it on here and realise a few minutes later.

  • My iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano)

    my iPod doesn't stay connected, it keeps ejecting and saying disconnected (4th gen iPod nano) and im trying to connect it to my new laptop to add music to it.

    I had the same thing happen where the ipod would cycle between connected and ejecting and disconnecting, with the USB device icon appearing then disappearing is the application tray. I tried reinstalling iTunes, resetting the ipod, resetting the computer and tried it on another USB port then another computer and had the same thing happen. I was ready to take the ipod back to the store and thought I'd try it on my work laptop and it worked OK. The two previous computers were the same make and have 8 USB ports each, two on the front and 6 at the rear. I only tried the two front ports. After it worked on the work laptop I tried one of the rear USB ports on the original PC, which is a bit of a pain, but it worked. I ejected it and plugged it into one of the front USB ports again and I got the same cycling effect. Plugging back into the rear port and it was fine. I can only assume that some USB ports may be borderline with power requirements which the iPod is touchy on. I suggest if you experience this problem try the iPod on ALL your USB ports even if you have to move an existing USB device to another port.
    I did read somewhere in the support area that an external USB hub that has its own power supply could help if the unit has issues recharging through a direct USB port so since this issue appears to be port related an external USB hub may be another solution. I personally haven't tried this but if all the direct ports on the PC exhibit this issue this may be a valid alternative outside of returning the unit. Hopefully someone may find this helpful.

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    MAJOR DEFICIENCY = WASTED MONEY:

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't turn off, change songs, turn volume down. song stays stuck and nothing works at all. any ideas??

    i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
