IPod 6th gen.  nano freezes at adding playlists

I reset iPod to factory settings, apply 2 artists for 86 songs, sync'd good. Went to apply another artist or  playlist iTunes froze up. Had to press button to restart computer for each time it freezes up. iPod Classic works fine.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
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.

  • Issues with syncing 2 IPOD 6th Gen Nano's to one computer

    we have 2 new IPOD 6th Gen.  I can sync mine in ITunes, but when I plug in the 2nd one (which has a different owners name) to sync, the device comes up, but when I hit the sync button nothing is happening.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

  • 6th gen nano, can't edit playlists

    I can successfully synch both this nano and my iPhone 4.  On the phone, I can add songs to playlists and remove them.  Can't now on the nano.  I have nearly 6GB of room free, I've restored to the factory settings and resynched, I've double-checked that the device is registered in iTunes (it was).  I am unable to add songs to playlists or remove them.  When I select a playlist, all the songs are grayed out.  Right-clicking on a song in a playlist allows me to Like, Post, Show Artist Profile (Ping menu); Get Info or Show in Playlist.
    Any thoughts here?

    Are you trying to do this from Playlist listed under your iPod? Or are you trying to do this from PLAYLISTS under the smart playlists?
    IF the songs are grayed out in Playlist under your iPod's name then that is why, you can't add songs to the playlist from there.
    You would have to add a song to your Playlist under PLAYLISTS, then resync the playlist to your iPod. This will add the new songs that you've added.
    IF the songs are grayed out in Playlist under the PLAYLISTS section, then unfortunately I'm uncertain.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize ipod 6th gen nano

    Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

    Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
    To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
    It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

  • My ipod (6th gen nano) is not being recognized

    I was moving some music on to it, decided to update itunes, and the moment it updated my ipod stopped being recognized. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod, and restarted the computer- all, multiple times. Thoroughly unimpressed and not sure how to get this working. Please help?

    Hi, SFletches.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

  • Ipod 6th gen nano issue

    I have done the step by step procedure to try and have my computer recognize my new nano and it just wont work.  As soon as I start up my itunes my computer no longer recognizes the nano as a disk drive.  I dont know if its because it is 64 bit or what can anyone provide some help please.

    After I read this post I took a look at my nano (with which I am having volume level issues). I had it set to 'Rock'.
    Having now taken it off that EQ setting - i.e. changing it back to 'none' - the volume has been restored to a more acceptable level! AND, when I adjust the volume up or down on the nano using the buttons, it makes a beep - it wasn't doing that before...
    I think a firmware update is required!

  • Since upgrading to itunes 10.5.3 6th & 5th gen Nano freeze when trying to play podcast from Audible

    My 5th & 6th Gen Nano Freezes when I try to play Charlie Rose, which I get from Audible.com. On the 6th Gen Nano a grey book comes up and it locks up and has to be reset. On the 5th gen Nano it shows the playlist but when I click on Charlie Rose podcast it freezes and it too had to be reset.

  • Ipod 6th gen not working

    Hi there, I bought an ipod 6th gen just over a year ago, while using it, I noticed the screen get grainy just before my battery went low.  Now the screen is black and wont charge.  I am wondering if it is the battery or the ipod itself.  I never dropped the ipod or abused it anyway, I dont really want to buy another one, if this is going to happen, has anyone else had this happen, or know what the problem is?

    I Just bought a used 6th gen nano and when I plug it into the usb it says on my itunes page "an ipod has been detected but cannot be identified properly". I have already registered it. What am I doing wrong? Is it a faulty one?

  • 6th gen nano with nike + playlists don't shuffle

    I switched from 1st gen nano to the 6th gen nano last week and one thing that I noticed is my playlists when hooked up to nike + sensor don't shuffle. I hear the same songs in order every run! It's frustrating because the 1st gen nano if shuffle is turned on for songs will shuffle your playlist songs in nike + mode the 6th gen doesn't. I shook the heck out of it and still it's the same song. Turned off shake when shuffle to see if their's a shuffle choice nope. Anyone else find this frustrating?
    I have a call in to tech support this morning going to ask them this question seems I missing something or the 6th is missing this option.

    I have the very same problem! And the calibration is a pain but it's getting better. "Default calibration... is accurate for many users" pshh...
    You should let me know if you find out a way to get past this!

  • My 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings. help

    my 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings and i have reset the nano. it's very frustrating listening to that voice which identifies song, artist and playlist. help!

    If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

  • Using nike fitness technology on 6th gen nano

    One of the main reasons I chose the 6th gen nano over the shuffle was the feature enabling run tracking.  It was my understanding that the newest generation was ready to go and didn't need an added kit like previous nano generations.  However, I find that my nano only has the option to use a pedometer on the pre-loaded fitness icon.  I'm new to apple technology, so excuse my ignorance, but I can't seem to find a way to track distances, mile times, and similar. Please help me figure out if there are controls that can be changed or additional downloads that must be pursued.  Thank you!

    You can't. Being able to do so would dramatically decrease your iPod's battery life anyways.

  • 6th Gen Nano Battery Life

    How much run time are you getting with your 6th Gen Nano?
    The tech specs state "up to 24 hours of play time."
    I'm getting less than 6 hours. I charge overnight and listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed. The screen display is off most of this time. I may pause it every 30 min or so, but the screen is "off" the vast majority of time.
    The unit is about a week old and only cycled 3 times.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I thought I had a defective batter as well, but I was wrong. I have been using the ipod throughout the day, starting in the Am with a full charge. At the end of the day, using it on and off, it would be about 20% or less. My thought was that I was probably only using it maybe 6 or 7 hours a day and that this is not what apple advertised. So I thought Id put it to the test. I was thinking that because I was changing albums by hand (using the LCD), checking song names occasionally, maybe using the lcd was a problem and draining the battery. So I looped a playlist and plugged it into my headphones and didn't touch it except for a couple times to quickly check the batter meter. It Gave up and quit at 16 hours. I thought for sure that I had a defective unit as thats 8 hours short of the 24 hours claimed. After reading an apple doc on how to extend battery life on Ipods, It mentioned that Turning off the EQ would extend the batter life. I also had another thought. The headphones I use are more DJ style and much larger. perhaps it takes more battery life to drive these things. So I Plugged in the Stock Apple Headphones and hit the reset button on the Ipod, which turned off the EQ and put the Ipod back to factory spec. After a re-run of the test, I got 31 hours and 15 minutes. This is a huge difference. So I guess My ipod is OK,and learned that the headphones I use, the abundant use of the interface screen, and using an EQ setting has a huge impact on batter life. Now I know, Hope this helps.

  • 6th Gen Nano skipping songs

    Hi all
    I have a 6th Gen Nano that i recieved as a replacement for a 1st gen.  It has been working perfectly until recently when i noticed that it started to skip some songs.  It is not all songs that are affected but a significant proportion of them.  The songs play fine through iTunes and are also ok on my iPhone 4 and also used to play fine on the Nano but not any more.
    The songs affected come from different places (CD Rips, Amazon etc) and looking at the file i can see nothing that could cause the problem.  I have created a blank itunes library and added the affected songs to it before syncing with my Nano but this still causes the same problem.  The Nano has been wiped but this doesnt help.  It is running version 1.2 of the software which i think is the latest.
    I have taken it to the Genius Bar where it was wiped and some diagnostics run on it but this didnt help either.  I paid for a replacement 6th Gen Nano (it was out of warranty) but this nano exibited the same problem with the same songs.  I have been refunded the cost of the replacement but still have a very tiny brick at the moment that i cannot use.
    It seems that the Nano doesnt like some of the songs for some reason and when going through the sync process it doesnt sync all of them even though they appear on the iPod the mp3 file may be missing when i look at it in finder.
    As the song plays in iTunes and on my iPhone it is perplexing as to why it doesnt on the Nano.  Does anyone know of a way to identify if a song will not play on the Nano as at the moment i am putting them on there and seeing which work and which dont.  As they used to work on there i am not sure what to do.
    Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.
    Cheers
    Simon
