Ipod nano 5 in car use

Why when the ipod nano 5 was designed was no thought given to in car use?
It is impossible to connect a 3.5mm jackplug to the car's auxilary socket, and connect the USB charging cable at the same time, as there is insufficient clearance between the plugs!
It is also impossible to find a slim enough jack plug,or auxilary cable to enable this!
Would it have been possible to mount the 3.5mm jack socket at the top of the nano chassis,and keep the USB cable socket at the bottom of the nano chassis?

HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes. Windows has all the most recent updates too. I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help

Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt. You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts. Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

Using ipod nano with car stereo?

sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

IPOD nano (4th gen) use on windows platform need to be formatted?

Hi,
I am a NEW ipod nano user . Recently , I have upload some songs using MAC and sync it. When I want to upload some more new songs onto my ipod nano using my other PC which is window XP pro version. It prompt me to "re-format the ipod nano" . Is this normal?
I am afraid if I reformat the ipod nano, all my songs will be gone ( previously using MAC to upload ). Can any expert on apple stuffs give some wise advise?

My ipod is having the same problem...that's actually why I came to the help page. My ipod is 2 yrs old and I've been taking good care of it, and this is the second time i've had this problem. the first time, after I left it for a while plugged in, it just started working - but now, nothing works!!! I've tried everything on the help page, and this is the only discussion I could find on the topic. I do not have voice command for my ipod, so I don't know if it works...it will reset, but the apple logo just sits there. Help!?!?!?!!!!! I really don't want to toss it!

Connecting ipod nano to car radio

i have 2 ipods ,one is one of the first ones made,wich i have played on my car radio ,just plug in the cable that charges ,and away,the second is a 3rd gen ipod nano,when i plug this into my car stereo jack it just says you must eject before disconnecting ,then the radio comes on and the ipod is at its normal screen,but cannot play thru car stereo,what can be wrong ?

are you sure you plugged it into the stereo jack??? because the ipod sees no difference in headphones and a car aux stereo jack to a car .... sounds like you are using something that plugs into a car lighter port... what device are you using to connect the ipod to your car?

I have 2 Ipod nanos, can i use the same apple id for both of them

I have 2 ipod nanos, 1 for my wife and mine. Can I use the same Apple ID for both so we can share the same music.

yes you can. I have 1 nano and 3 iTouches.... you should be able to use Multiple iDevices with the same Apple ID.....

IPod Nano to Car Speakers

I have a white 2 GB iPod Nano 1st Generation and I want to be able to play my iPod through my car speakers. I already have the USB cable and the car charger, can i just plug the cable & the charger into my car and then turn off my radio and press play...or do i need to by one of those FM Radio iPod converters for a car in order for me to play my iPod in my car?

Either that or an expensive retrofit. My last car had a lousy radio so I bought a Sony that had an aux port. There are also some really expensive models that have iPod ports. Another option for some cars is an expensive device that adds an auxilliary input to your factory radio but there can be downsides. For me I have a choice of losing my XM radio or losing audible warnings. And then there's the FM transmitters. I bought a Kensington digital and am mostly happy with it. I say mostly because in some areas there is no free frequency so the iPod is unusable.

Can ipod nano 5 be used with any other version of itunes?

My xphome SP3 computer does not meet system requirements for itunes 9. Does this mean I have to return the ipod nano my daughter got for Xmas or is there another way to use it?

The iPod does require iTunes 9 or later.
The system requirements are listed here.
*Windows system requirements*
* PC with USB 2.0 port
* Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

IPod Nano 4th gen - Use iTunes to Restore

My cousin went to India for a couple of months so he gave me his iPod Nano. It was working when i got it, and i listened to his songs. So I downloaded the latest version of iTunes so I could put my songs in it. When I connected it, iTunes told me to restore it so I did. In the process, it showed an error (1437). So I disconnected it and my nano had this white screen and it says "Use iTunes to Restore". Which I tried many times, and the same error happens.
Now it's not even showing my in My Computer (running Windows Vista). I tried resetting the Nano multiple times and it turns into a black screen for about 2 seconds, then it returns to the "Use iTunes to Restore" screen, I do not get the screen with the apple. If I cannot fix this, will I be able to take it to a Apple store? I have the one year warranty. The Problem is, my Cousin only gave me the iPod, no cables or headphones. I am using the charging wire from my iPod video (5th gen), could this be the problem? Will the Apple store fix it for me without the receipt and the original box?

New ipod nano 6th generation used 3 times. Screen remains black despite a full reset. Something special to do ?

Hi, I just bought a new ipod nano and used it 3 times. Today it did not work and I first believed that the battery was too low. I connected the device to the mac. Sync worked well and charge indicator as well. Nevertheless, the screen remained black. I therefore tried to reset the device and after the resetting, the screen remains as black as before. Any solution ? thanks and regards

If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

IPod Nano Sync Help: Using "Checked songs only" feature

Hi
I just got an 8 gb nano and not used to selecting only part of my library for ipod sync(used to have a 20gb)
Problem: Sync not doing what i would expect
What i have done: I have unchecked most of my library so that it will fit in my ipod (i am not sure how many are checked/uncheked)
Also I have choosen the "only sync selected playlists"
What i want to do: i want to sync all the playlists + only checked songs
When i choose sync all playlists it tells me that the library dosen't fit
then, if i do "slected playlists" + checked songs, it only syncs the songs that are in the playlists and not all the checked songs
What is the hirerarky in the two options: is the "sync checked songs only" more iporatnt than the playlists
how can i get both : the checked songs only + my playlists?
thank you in advanced for your help

This issue has been posted several times; try to search for "ipod skipping songs".

Need to charge IPod Nano in car

My 5th Gen IPod Nano plays in my new car's MP3 player. But it does not charge. The reason is the car's MP3 Player is only compatible with IPod Nanos Generation 1, 2 and 3. I have 5th Generation.
Apple support advised I get the ISimple ReVolt Charging Adapter model IS710.
I bought the ISimple IS710 charger and connected it per the directions - one end of the IS710 into my car's MP3 cable and the other end into my IPod -but my car's MP3 player would not play my IPod's music. I received a message from the car's panel that my IPod is not connected, even though it was. It also seemed that the IS710 adapter did not fit securely into my IPod. But it still would not play even when I held it in securely.
I looked at the box the IS710 came in and it stated that it was compatible with IPod Nano 4th Generation. It did not mention any other generations. I have IPod Nano 5th Generation. Is that the problem? Any advice? I need to charge this IPod Nano in the car while I am playing its music.

Ipod nano can't use podcast?

Hi i just bought a 2 gb ipod nano. I dled some nikefootball vids from podcast. However i am unable to upload it to my ipod nano.
I tried dragging it manually from videos to my ipod. However there is this restricted sign. how ?

The iPod nano isn't capable of playing videos. You need a full-sized fifth generation iPod for that. Sorry.
Cheers!
