Interested in the Nano 6gen...

Hi Forum Friends,
Just wanted to know what the music player is like. I love my Ipod Shuffle but need so much more space for my tunes. It is simple to use, I clip it on and can suffle songs easy and move on to the next track easily but I am not sure how the music player works on the Nano 6gen.
Is it easy to upload individual songs rather than uploading the full album?
Can it shuffle songs?
How easy is it to move on to the next track?
I am only buying it for the music player and not interested in the other features. Perhaps you could recommend something else?
Thanks in advance!

You load music to it just like your shuffle
Yes, you can shuffle
It is easy to move tracks you can even do it from headphones with a control.

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector. What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike ipod sport kit fuctionality?

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector. Not sure if the kit will work. What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano? Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

Hey SeanW89,
Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:

Connect to Bluetooth accessories
You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks,

IPod Nano 6gen not recognized by iTunes using a Mac, have tried all the tips.

I've tried all of the tips on the site, nothing seems to work. My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) can see the device and my iTunes updates as normal on other devices but the nano suddenly isn't seen by iTunes. I've reset the settings, checked the USB, nothing seems to work. I'm also getting an error message that says Mac OS X can't repair the disk, its telling me to backup and reformat. The resetting on the device should take care of this but it doesn't, the device is empty. All software is up to date. Any ideas?

Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

When trying to sych my new nano 6gen not reading and request restor.

Just bought a nano 6gen and it shows and when it tries to sych comes up asking me to restore after doing this it gives me the same message. It currently has software version 1.2 and I just downloaded itunes.

Whenever you got that error it is normally becuase of corrupt software. And in that case the only option is to restore the ipod.

IPod nano 6gen does not send audio to home stereo when using an older (iPod classic) dock.

iPod nano 6gen does not send audio to home stereo when using an older (iPod classic) dock. Is this a functional discount or something else? [This system has worked with iPod Classic and Nano 4 gen.]

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.

The BEST Armband for the Nano

Besides the Apple armband, is anyone using an armband for the Nano that covers it well?
- SpeckProducts SkinTight armband + skin
- Incase Sports Case with Armband
- Marware Sportsuit Convertible for iPod nano with armband
- XtremeMac Sport Wrap

I too would like peoples opinions on the best armband. i am looking at getting the invisble sheild as well so I would like to know what case with armband fits over the invisible sheild. I am not interested in teh apple one as this one seems like the ipod will fall out if i were upside down (and yes, when i'm working out i just might be upside down

Is this the end of the nanos that scratch so easly????

I bought my second nano today (4GB white). interesting thing is that my nano has been in my pocket all day and does not have a scratch on it. not even a hair. looks right out of the box. i even wiped it with several different kinds of fabrics and towels just to see what would happen. could apple have finally fixed the problem? is this the end of the nanos that scratch so easly???? if so apple could have the perfect product. my first nano scratched like it was made out of candy. needless to say i quickly returned that one.

I don't think Apple has fixed the problem. In fact, they don't believe that there is a problem.
I sent my excessively scratched nano back to Apple after getting the go ahead from customer support. Today, I checked the status of my return on Apple's web site. To my surprise, I found that my original nano was being returned and that Apple will not send a new unit.
Apples position is that the nano is made of the same material as the other ipods and it does not scratch any easier than their other models. I was told that I should have bought some sort of protection for the nano. In other words, Im stuck with a product that they view is not defective, even though my viewing screen is getting progressively cloudy from scratches.

Still on the fence about the Nano? Are you all happy with yours?

Hi,
Is there a certain week number I should look for when buying the Nano like week 38 (that was mentioned for the Touch model before). I know some have had problems with a slanted screen as well.
How about the sounds is it pretty good? I saw one in the store yesterday but they didn't have earbuds out for it. I'm still between this and the Classic but obviously want good performance so will sacrifice space for that in the end. Are there still bugs with this one?
S.

I'm pretty happy with my 3G Nano so far. I got it about a week ago shipped from China (got it engraved from Apple). But my prior iPod was an original 1G 5GB iPod. So it's about 1/6th the size and has over 50% more capacity than what I'm used to. Battery life is a lot longer as well. The things I was looking forward to was the ability to view video and photos on a TV. So I'm most disappointed that Apple has locked the video out functionality. Only one reason makes sense for why they did that, and that is to stick it to their licensees so Apple can charge higher licensing fees for 3rd party iPod video devices. That decision can only frustrate and annoy iPod owners--expecially since even Apple isn't yet selling their own video-enabled cables yet (you can't find them in Apple retail stores and they're backordered for weeks on the Apple store.com).
My screen is mounted straight (In fact I haven't personally seen any crooked ones), and I've started subscribing to video podcasts and have been very impressed with the viewing quality on the 2" display. It's not that much smaller than the Classic, and though I would have loved the larger iPod Touch display, I just couldn't justify double the price.
The included games are okay. I probably wouldn't buy any new ones since the Nano is so small and the touchwheel is so low on the iPod that it cramps my hand to use it for extended time needed for a game, but that's just me.
I've heard the coverflow has issues on the Nano. But so far, I haven't encountered either the problem with coverflow lag or cover jumbling. As far as I can tell, since I've populated all the relevent track tages in iTunes they seem to group as expected for all my music.
Probably the second thing I'd criticize the Nano on would be the storage capacity. I was hoping for 10-16GB when Steve announced them. 8GB is a bit cramped for anyone who seriously wants to utilize it for music, photos and videos in my opinion. But I think I'll give iTunes synchronization a try and see how it goes (I've always managed my prior iPod manually) as far as maintaining a fresh source of podcasts to keep me interested.
Overall. The sound quality seems great. I'm not hyper-sensitive, so I don't hear any extra hiss in the audio at all. Though I've read that there are some audio-dropout problems once you start sync'ing photos onto the Nano (but I haven't gotten around to installing photos yet)
I'm sure there will be more software updates for the Nano in the future, I wish Apple provided some way to customize the view when an audio track is playing. I'd much rather have more song info displayed along with a head-on square view of the cover art, but I'd be surprised if any significant interface changes like that are ever introduced.
I must say, the Nano looked a bit odd when I first saw it online, but in person, it's really the nicest tiny iPod ever in my opinion.

My ipod won't show up on my computer. I have another ipod touch, that works fine. What should I do? Do I need a different ipo usb cord for the nano?

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

I have a Nano, where I changed computers and moved my library. Now my nano doesn't recognize the location or the song on the nano. How do I update my library so the nano will recognize.

I have an IPOD Nano. I had it originally set up on another computer where I would down load my songs that I purchased from ITunes. My Nano would sync up with my PC when I would plug it in. I had to change computers, so I moved all my songs / library to my new PC. I downloaded the ITunes process to my new PC and then purchased a song. I saw the song in my download area of my PC under ITunes Media / downloads. However, my nano would not sync as it is still referencing the prior location, which was on my old PC. I moved the song directly to the Nano when it was plugged in. I see the song on the Nano directory when I have it plugged in to the PC via the USB cable. I even click on the song and I hear it play from the Nano on the PC. However, when I go to look for the song directly from my song listing from the Nano music screen, it doesn't list he song or the artist as being on the Nano.
I have tried to follow the online instructions for erase and sync the old library to the new, but that doesn't happen. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong in moving from one PC to another. Seems to me this should be a much simplier process. But I find working with Apple products they are all harder to deal with. I would appreciate your help.
Mel

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

New to the Nano - can someone help me with 2 problems?!?!

Bought the watchband, put the Nano in it, but the watch face is facing the wrong way. What am I doing wrong?
Also how do you use the Radio with the dock -you cannot attach the headphones for reception.

You can rotate the screen by holding down two fingers and rotating.

I lose wireless connectivity when I connect the nano to my PC

I have a DSL modem connected by ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. My PC has USB linksys antenna. The wireless connection works fine except when I plug in the Nano, it takes about two seconds and I lose the connection to the router. If we are in itunes downloading it is suspended. If we are on the internet the next click and the Microsoft "you are not connected to the internet" page comes up. To reestablish the internet connection I have to remove the nano and reboot the PC. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
If I reboot with the cable attached I get an error unable to run an ____.exe that I believe is the antenna setup because the linksys monitor stays gray in the startup box.
I have tried to move the antenna to a different USB port on the PC with no luck. Everything else runs fine.
Does anyone out there have any ideas/fixes? - Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

thanks deggie for your answer.
