IPod Nano 7th Generation - Bad out of the box?

I just purchased the iPod Nano 7th generation today and came home to sync it with iTunes. iTunes recognizes the device for a second then I receive a "Disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off." message. I can see the iPod in iTunes for a second then it disappears. As I keep it plugged in it will recognize, disappear, reapear then disappear again.
I purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation today and that is working just fine (as well as synching my other iDevices). Is this nano bad out of the box?

Same thing happened to me. It did download the playlists I wanted, but the next time I plugged it in it acted as though it was being plugged in for the very first time, (regsitration and set up etc.)
But the really bad news is the BATTERY LIFE. maybe get one hour of play time before it drains to zero.
Anyone else have this issue?

You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.

To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

There is a very loud, distorted sound coming from my Ipod Nano 7th generation no matter what headphones i use. Any fixes?

I bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and out of the box, there was a really loud distorted sound as soon as i pressed play. When i press pause, it stops. If i use a different pair of headphones is does it. So, i exchanged it, and all was good for about three weeks, now even the new one is doing it. The sound is so loud and fuzzy that i cant even hear what the song is supposed to be.

First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

IPod nano (7th generation) will not restore in iTunes

Recently, I've been havng issues syncing my iPod nano (7th generation). I thought the most logical way to fix this is to restore it. When I click "Restore" everything is fine till it gets to "Extracting Software" then it says "The iPod "Alex's iPod nano" can not be restored because it is in use with another application." I do have warranty. Should I take it to the Apple Store?

Is the Enable Disk Use option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, disable it and then try restoring again.
Sometimes simply rebooting the iPod and Mac can resolve the issue. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

When will the iPod nano 7th generation look like ios 7

So ios 8 is out now and the iPod nano 7th generation still looks like iOS 6. Is there any chance that it will look like iOS 7 or not?

Hi!
Even I would like to see this (because I'm an owner too), I suppose iPod nano will never ever receive that look
As Mr. Tim Cook said once, iPods are a declained business. I guess no more iPods will be released and the actual ones are suppose to die like they are.

When are they going to start selling cases for the ipod nano 7th generation

I searched the apple store and there are no armbands or cases for the new ipod nano 7th generation…whats ups! I want to protect my new ipod nano and have a fitness band to use it for working out.

This is also my gripe Lacygirl. The ones available on other sites have horrendous reviews. My biggest concern is, will the Nike Fitness work while using an armband? The manual suggests using it at your waist with Nike Fitness. Duh, what runner prefers that?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.
