Ipod 7th Gen battery icon

Why do Apple have micorscopic sub-icons (lightning bolt and plug) on the battery charge indicator of 7th Gen IPod Nano? I cannot see them without a magnifying glass!! Whay don't they have the moving fillup indicator that most things have?

That's not normal or expected. I've gone 2 weeks and probably 20 hours of play time without giving the battery in mine a second thought, and it still shows 25-33% charge. In November, I drove 8 hours from Ohio to Maryland, and it made it the whole way using Bluetooth to play audio through my car stereo. It was pretty well drained by the trip, though. I doubt it would have made it 10 hours with BT. I've never watched video on it, so I have no idea what to expect if it has to power the screen constantly.
I'd charge it overnight, and then start a timer while starting it playing music. When it was almost dead, and with the timer still running, I'd walk it into my local Apple store. (I hope you have one.) Bonus points if you document the experiment on video.

TS1591 iPod 7th gen not showing up in iTunes (Macbook Pro) on first try

hi guys. i have an ipod 7th gen and just recently bought a macbook pro. what i noticed right away was that whenever i try to plug in and update my ipod, the icon shows up on the desktop but the iPod itself does not show up in iTunes. i have to unplug then re-plug in my iPod and that usually does the trick. a trick which is annoying to do because im sure most people with iPods dont have this problem. help please

Hey there Miles,
It sounds like your iPod isn't showing in iTunes when you connect it to your Mac. I would start with this bit from the following article:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3716
First, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod.
If you still cannot get the device to appear in iTunes, use the following link to help troubleshoot it:

Take care,

My new iPod 7th gen is syncing but no sound

I have just received my iPod 7th gen. It is fully charged and set up. I have synced my music files to it. When i play a song no sound comes through but on the iPod it shows as playing. Is this a fault with the ipod? The earphones work fine as i have tested them on my ipad. I have also restored the ipod to factory settings and resynced but am still having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

Nano 7th gen battery

My nano 7th gen bought on december 2012 is experiencing battery problems. It discharges so fast (about 1 hour) and takes hours to full charge.
I undesrstand that is a factory problem.
Any other 7th gen having battery problems?

Calibrate your ipod by charging fully, then using it until it drains then charging it again. And resetting might help too.

Brand new 7th Gen battery issues?

Hello. I just bought a 7th Gen iPod Nano. It's the Product Red version (not like that should matter). However, shuffle or not, the battery drains fairly quick. I'm lucky if it lasts a day. Is this fixable at home or go to the Apple store?

Been solved

My iPod 7th gen has no sound

My new iPod nano 7th gen will not give out any sounds,

Hi guys,
I have just received my second iPod nano from Amazon. I had to return the first one as I had no sound coming out and the Apple Support guy - after resetting and restoring the original factory settings, said that it was probably defect and that I should send it back - which I did.
Just received the replacement and surprise, surprise, there is no sound coming out of this one either!!
I've reset this one with the Power and Home buttons, made sure that the Volume Limiter in the Settings is set to OFF, and turned the volume up to the max, but still no sound.
If I have to send this one back, it's the last device I buy from Apple. There is of course the possibility that I am completely stupid and I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, in which case shine a light guys, shine a light!
Other than that I have been all over the Internet before I landed here and there really does seem to be a problem with iPod nanos.
Yours, in deep frustration,
Lyra

When will apple allow apps on ipod 7th gen?

I wish apple put games compatability on the next ipod nano 7th gen update. i loved the games on the 4th gen and miss them.

Who knows what the future will bring for Apple products... No one posting here knows such info, and the rest of us are not supposed to speculate about future Apple products in Apple's forum.
You can, however, provide feedback to Apple here

Why doesn't my ipod 7th gen connect to bluetooth in my new car

I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT. I was told that I could play my Ipod nano 7th Gen via Bluetooth. the car picked up my IPod and the IPod detected the car. Seemed pretty simple. But when I tap connect on my Ipod, I get an error on the car display "connection failed". I tried deleting the Ipod and starting over, but still won't connect.
The folks at the Hyundai are blaming it on Apple saying they are restricting the connection due to the last software upgrade. No one seems to be able to give a concrete answer. If someone spends over $25,000 on a new car they should be able to connect a simple Ipod nano.
I hope someone from Apple reads this and provides a solution so I can enjoy my tunes in my new car.

Nobody from Apple will read this.
Go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
Or call AppleCare.
There hasn't been a firmware upgrade on the Nano for over a year, which software upgrade is your Hyundai dealer referring to? Also, have you connected the car to any other device?

Brand new ipod 7th gen wont syn or turn on, please help!

Just tried to syn my brand new ipod nano 7th generation but have encountered problems that I'm certain should not be happened as this has never happened to me before now.
Firstly, it said that I had to update itunes, which I did.
Then, registered my ipod but it wouldnt sync and everytime I tried plugging it in an icon flashed up that said it was corrupted. This was followed by another window telling me to update my ipod. Clicked on it and a strange white screen came up on the ipod screen that said ok to disconnect with a tick (but not how it usually looks) I have tried resetting it several times by holding down the "sleep" button and then the screen just went black - not the apple logo to say that it was resetting or anything.
Now it wont turn on or register when I plug it into itunes...
Anyone got any suggestions or solutions? Thanks

Whats ur warrenty on it?
Just go return it for a new one if its brand new and they will give u a new one. Thats the easiest solution as far as Im concerned

IPod 5th Gen Battery Dying Quickly!?!

I have a U2 Special Edtn 5th Gen iPod Video.
I have calibrated the battery correctly. Anyways, my iPod was completely charged. I plugged it into the TV to watch a movie. I didn't get 2 hours and it was dead. In previous experiences my battery would last for almost double the suggested movie playing time because the lcd isn't in use when playing to the TV. I would get at LEAST through a movie or two.
Also, after listening to music one night for about an hour or two the battery was down to about 50%.
Sound like my battery is getting toasted?

Unfortunately taking it back to the store is not really an option given that I bought it in Orlando, FLA, and am now in Edinburgh, Scotland!
It does charge fully and when playing music the battery doesn't seem to go down any quicker than it should. Its when I go to play it again after it being off for 24 hours and find the battery is flat that I can't understand??
You think its definitely defective? I will try a few things out before I consider returning it to Apple as that would be an almighty hassle I suspect?

Ipod 3rd gen battery lasting 10 mins

**** IT! i have an i pod 3rd gen for 4 years and the battery only lasts for 10 or 20 mins although its fully charged!!! what do i do? how do i change battery? should i ? should i buy a new one?

What yo do is up to you
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one fwith a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement caots about $10
