Interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation ..

interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation might be helpful to some.
NOTE: the feedback form isnt up to date for software versions for 1gb ipod nano (newest here is 1.1.1 but i have 1.3.1).
it seems i cannot create on-the-go playlist by holding album OR artist, with my 1gb ipod nano with VERSION 1.3.1 software, if there are various sizes of playlists in my ipod. i had about 4 playlists with 1 song in them and 2 -3 playlists with 5 - 30 songs in them. total space on ipod used was about 400mb of 896mb and about 1500 songs (most poor quality to save space (18-48kbs - i noticed some of the lower qualities have overtones of whistle or cricket like sounds (i have many ambient songs birds, thunder storms, etc)).
i just manually deleted ALL playlists also deleted 945 songs on my ipod with itunes, and now i am able to do it. i can even do it now with composer or genre etc (which isnt listed in the playlist creation instructions). i now have 612 songs with 113mb free.
p.s. i tried to leave this as bug feedback but got a strange message that was like a command pointing to a thank you for leaving feedback page.

I have got this problem with my new 8gb nano too. Its very sad I had my mini stolen from my person whilst in a hospital bed dozing and it worked from the same itunes list and I could add albums or artists or songs now on the new replacment nano I can only add songs. Very annoying, please let me know if anyone can solve this. I too have reset and restored it numerous times. I am in the uk I think you are in the states.

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!

Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!

You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough?

I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough? I know i wont need an adapter because it will fit into the wall outlet, but voltage wise, will i need a converter? Japan runs on 100 V. I am so confused on all of this...

As long as the adapter is 2 pronged, then you should be able to use it without any problems.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

Recent problems occurring with new iPod Nanos as well?

Are the recent problems associated with the iPod firmware version 1.2 occurring with brand new Nanos, or are they only occurring with Nanos that were running previous versions that have been updated to the new version? I've been considering buying a Nano, but may reconsider if the problems are happening with new ones as well.

I bought a 2GB iPod nano over the weekend. It works great, as long as I don't try to put more than 215 songs on it. iTunes crashes and freezes my iPod every time I try to fill it up more than half way. Every crash requires a hard shut down on my mac and restoration of the iPod.

The radio is not working in my ipod nano, and has the correct zone, how can I make it work?

I bought the new Ipod nano, and the radio is not working. I live in the USA, and has being setting in "America" zone, but is not working!! I plugged the headphones, and I tried in different places, and I not working!!!
What could I do?

Check if the headphones are inserted all the way in till you hear a click. Hope this helps!

Compatibility issues with 1st Ipod Nano and In Car Windows MP3 media player

I use a mac pro running 10.5.6 leopard. My new car has a Windows formatted media MP3 player with USB connector which doesn't read my 1st generation Ipod nano. I can load the music files onto a flash drive and play them in the car but without any of the functionality of an Ipod.
How can I load music files onto my Ipod and use it in my car without
resorting to loading Windows on my mac and reformatting my Ipod to PC? Is
there a crossover bit of software available? Are more recent nano's formatted for both Mac and PC? I have saved the IPod as a external hard disk and converted all music files to MP3 which is the MP3's accepted format. I'm also sure I have the latest software for the IPod. Any ideas? Cheers.

OK I am confused. You say your car stereo has a Windows formatted MP3 player? What does that mean exactly? That the car stereo can play MP3s off of mass storage devices plugged into its USB port?
I think if the above is what you meant, then you have two problems. One is that your car stereo likely reads FAT32 formatted storage devices (and possibly, but doubtfully, Windows NTFS formatted devices). Your iPod is likely formatted in Mac format which your stereo won't be able to read.
That can be overcome. Simply restore your ipod on a Windows machine to put it into Windows format then plug it back into your Mac and use it that way. Macs can read and sync to Windows formatted iPods just fine.
But the other problem is, your stereo may not be able to actually control an iPod directly. Does the instruction say it can? Therefore it would be looking on the storage of the iPod that shows up as Mass Storage for tracks, not on the hidden area where iTunes stashes music into and your iPod plays music from.

Bug with 1.2 (podcasts and on-the-go playlists)

Previously, I was able to add podcasts to an On-The-Go playlist, and listen to them one after another just like a group of songs. Great for mowing the lawn. And yes, I think I will have to have one of the new shuffles.
Anyway, after installing 1.2 (on my Windows formatted 60GB 5G iPod) it's not letting me do that any longer. I do the same procedure as before, but when I click a podcast track in the on-the-go playlist, it just repeats that track over and over like it does when picking it from the podcasts menu.
Just for kicks I tossed both music tracks and podcasts in the OTG playlist to see what happens. Same as above if I start with a podcast. If I start with a music track it flips through the songs normally and ignores the podcasts.
Anyone else notice this?
PS: I'm addicted to Texas Hold'em. Nice work with that one!

Yes, there's no way this can be considered proper operation. After reading this thread and doing some more experimentation, I have found that the work-around is to uncheck the "Skip when shuffling" option for each podcast. However, this is definitely a bug for the following reasons:
Set the iPod's Shuffle setting to none. Then go to a playlist (or make an on the go playlist) with a Podcast who's "Skip when shuffling" option is checked. The bug is still present. If this were an intentional change for playlists to honor the "Skip when shuffling" setting of a song or podcast, then it shouldn't have any effect when not shuffling.
The second thing is to think about what is meant by the "Skip when shuffling" setting. In iPod firmware 1.1.2 (the last one), if you picked "Shuffle Songs" from the iPod main menu, it wouldn't select songs/podcasts with the "Skip when shuffling" setting checked. However, anything a user added to a playlist should always be played when playing that playlist. This is what the 1.1.2 iPod software did and it is what users expect. Having to uncheck the "Skip when shuffling" setting for every podcast that gets downloaded before they can be used in a playlist is ludicrous.

Switching from an ipod to an ipod nano and moving itunes

The hard drive of my ipod recently died and I'm considering replacing it with an ipod nano and changing the computer on which my itunes resides. I have 3 questions:
1. Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?
2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?
3. In moving the itunes to a new computer, will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)?

"Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?"
You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your iPod Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your Nano (around 1800 MB for a 4G). Or of course you can choose to "manually manage songs and playlists".
"2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?"
Network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. I moved and iTunes folder recently between two Macs and for it quite strightforward. However as I don't use a PC here's a link that may help you out for moving on Windows.:

"will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)'
It won't make a difference in the move but you'll have to authorise the new PC to play the purchased ones. Don't forget by the way to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up one of your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

IPod nano and Altec Lansing inMotion im5, clicks between tracks?

When I'm using my iPod nano with the Altec Lansing inMotion im5 there are 'clicks' between the tracks. When I'm using my iPod headphone I don't hear these 'clicks'. What could be wrong?

I've been playing around with my iPod nano and the im5 speaker system. I guess that the clicks might be caused by a gap (longer than 5 seconds) between the songs. It would have been no problem when the iPod should have a crossfade playback like iTunes has. I haven't heard the clicks when I use the iPod dock. The one I heard was just a strange end of a song....sorry!

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

HT3310 i have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do?.. I am using the original headset eversince. I took it to an Apple Mac Center I was told they can't do anythin

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.
