Ipod Nano 8GB with Bose SoundDock

Hi all,
My new Nano 8GB won't fit into the Bose SoundDock using any of the supplied plastic adaptors. It fits without an adaptor and works fine but the supplied Nano adaptor won't allow it to fit.
Does anyone know where to get an adaptor that fits?
Thanks,
MT23

My 4GB Nano just got destroyed and I'm getting ready
to buy the 8GB...Will it work in the same docking
stations that my 4GB worked in? Thank
you

I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB.

How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod? Please Help Soon.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

IPod touch 4 with Bose sounddock portable

Hey buddies, my IPod touch 4 (iOS 5.1.1) isn't fit with Bose Sounddock Portable, how come? You guys have any solution? Thx

If you mean theat the 4G iPd does not full mate with the dock you have two solutions:
- Modify the dock with knife and duct tape to make it fit.
- Use a dock extender:

IPod Nano 8gb problems with iTunes/iMac

Bought a brand new iPod Nano 8gb last night. I am trying to use it on an iMac G4 1 gigahertz with OSX 10.4. This computer is not online. I downloaded itunes 7.0.1 from a neighbors computer and installed it on my imac and it seems to work fine. I can hook up the Nano to the iMac with no problem. Itunes recognizes the Nano and seems fine UNTIL I click anywhere in the itunes window woth the Nano plugged in, at which point itunes disappears from my screen. I can relaunch it, but the same thing happens again. Itunes works fine without the Nano plugged in, but not with the Nano.
I called Apple Support, and was told I HAVE to be online to use both itunes and the new Nano I am online at work on a PC, but don't have internet access at home. I have no desire to download songs online, or do anything else online at home, I just want to be able to put my own existing CD's on my Nano to listen to away from home.
Any ideas? Do I HAVE to be online to use iTunes 7 and the new Nano?

I guess I'd better clarify this for my own sake. By "update" are you referring to changing music, folders, artists, etc? In which case, I realize that I would need to update my Nano to reflect any changes I make to my music files. If by "update" you are referring to making a software or firmware change through an internet connection, then I would think this would be a rare occurrence that could be done at a friends computer.
The Apple "help" person on the phone said that I couldn't even USE my Nano without being online. Period. That the new Nano and new versions of iTunes REQUIRED an internet connection to function properly.
At the Apple authorized dealer where I bought the Nano, they said there is no need at all to be online, as long as I have the proper versions of everything (OS, iTunes, etc) installed, it should work fine, there is no need for an internet connection. (Unless I want to actually download songs, of course) They have burned a CD for me with the required updates they feel I will need, which I will install later this evening. Hopefully that will work.
It makes no sense to me that I would be REQUIRED to be connected to the internet in order for the Nano to simply be able to playback songs I have stored on my iMac, as I was told by the Apple help person the phone. He made NO effort to help at all, saying repeatedly that as long as I was not "online" with my iMac, the Nano and iTunes would not work, saying "What part of this don't you understand?"
Then he hung up.

Yes it does. just bought a Bose. But make sure you have no cover on your Nano as it will not connect!

Problems With My New Ipod Nano 8Gb

Like most got a new ipod Nano 8Gb for Christmas and I had previously installed Itunes and Quicktime to the latest versions. I hooked up the ipod and it was recognized and it said it wanted to update to version 103 which i allowed it to do.
A bar came up and started going across and I let it go and after 5 minutes it was still going and then after 15 minutes it was still going but I could tell that nothing was happening. (apple if you read these forums how about changing your updates so a percentage is given). I disconnected the player and had to end the task on Itunes to get it to close and then I hooked up the ipod and this time it went into itunes and synced and seemed to copy the 6 albums I had in there.
I then decided to put a couple more albums on, but when I told it to sync this time the software couldn't find the device and I was given an error. The long and short of this is the device will sync initially and download *Music only* as any of the other checkmarked items will not download, but after the initial syncing anything else added to itunes will not sync or update again.
I've also noted that anytime you change a setting in the itunes by putting a check mark in the box eg. such as podcasts, movies, outlook and so on the next time the ipod is plugged in none of these items are checked.
I've come to the conclusion that Apple didn't do much testing on this device and so far i'm not very impressed and will most likely take the product back for a refund. How can Apple expect people to do all these things I've been reading about to try and fix the many problems that seem to plague this new Nano 3rd Gen unit?
Does anyone from apple read these forums and know what's going on?

Well i've tried a few things that haven't done anything.
- 1 reinstalled Itunes but this did nothing to help
- I tried to restore the unit but got the dreaded 1418 error
I do have a question though when I plug my ipod in i hear it connect and it shows a USB mass storage device down in the taskbar which i can click on and see that it is the ipod usb device but if I look under My Computer there is nothing in there. So my question is should there be a device in my computer and should I see the device down in the taskbar?

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183
Good luck!

Ipod nano compatibility with ipod accessories

Is the ipod nano compatible with other ipod accessories? Will it work with my Bose speaker system built for the ipod? Will the car charger and battery backups that I have purchased for my ipods work with the nano? thanks

I want to get an ipod nano, but i have the earbud headphones that i bought separately from the ipod. you know, the ones with the 3 different rubber sizes or your ears? well i was wondering if it would work with the ipod nano. i saw that the nano had different headphones.

TS2771 itouch stopped working with Bose sounddock after software update 5.1.1

Have an iTouch that used to work well with Bose SoundDock. Then updated iTouch software to version 5.1.1 and as usual apple ITouchOS now does not recognize the Bose SoundDock at all now. Error message iTouch does not support this accessory. What the heck? How to fix? Buying new dock is not solution. iTouch is gen 4.

You can try the standard fixes:
Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
- If still the problem then it appears that the iOS update broke the compatibility. That happens sometimes. In that case you have to wait for an update from either Apple or Bose.
- Also, use the communities search box in the upper right and search for. bose. I think other users had same problem. It is hard to remember the dock manufacturer.

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages. Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part. If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out. This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices. The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used. In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things.
I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

The newer like above allow yo to directly insert the 5G iPod into the dock. They also have an input to use the headphone jack.

HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. Help!

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
The iPod Classic uses different drivers than the Nano

Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.
