Ipod Nano Alarm-- no sound

I've been trying to use the nano as an alarm clock on the Bose speakers. At the time the alarms should go off, it just displays "you have an alarm-- dismiss or snooze" but it doesn't play music.
It's charged, the clock is in the right time zone, I've selected a playlist. The speaders do work-- it will play music when I turn on the ipok, just not as an alarm.
any ideas?

Mine does this too. Don't know what ttell you

Does the ipod nano can record sounds?

Does the iPod nano can record sounds connecting "headphones with microphone"?

Hi uptight,
Yes, the iPod Nano does support MP4 files.
You can find more information about the files the iPod supports here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
You can convert many videos right from iTunes. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 will walk you through the process with sample files.

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.

Can I connect my Ipod Nano to my sound system with amplifier

Is it possible to connect my Ipod nano to my sound system which has an amplifier. If so any problem will occur to my ipod nano.

The usual way of doing this is to buy the universal dock, then use the line out jack on the dock to connect to your amp via a cable that has a mini jack (like the one on your headphones) at one end and 2 RCA phono plugs at the other end (to connect to line in sockets on your amp).
You can do this direct from the headphone socket on the iPod instead of buying the dock, but personally I don't think the sound quality is as good this way.

Ipod Nano 7 - No sound comes out of the headphones, and i tried different headphones... Can you help? What shall i do?

Hello ! No sound comes out of my ipod nano 7. I tried different headphones, all working on other players, but nothing comes out of the ipod nano. Of course I turned the volume up and made sure to press on play... Anybody to help me out? Thanks a lot !

The jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headphones all the way in until the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

IPod Nano 5th Gen sound broken.

My iPod nano 5th Gen 16g's sound quality last night got messed up and it is horrible, makes it unuseable. Also, when you change the volume, it shows that it is changing, but the sound does not change, it is "stuck" at the same volume. I tried restarting it, reformatting it (or whatever it is called) in iTunes, and nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it a problem with the hardware that I can't fix myself?

Playing ipod nano through home sound system

I want to play my ipod (nano) through my panasonic dvd player + sound system. Ive tried heaps of leads into every plug socket in the dvd player, but no tunes!
What type of lead do i need?
Where do i plug it into in the player??
Do i just press play to start playing?

ipod new nano Windows 2000

Just to expand on what Chris said.
The phono inputs of a stereo amp are designed to accept the inputs of a moving magnet (or sometimes a moving coil) phono cartridge on a turntable. These are low output devices and so the phono input is engineered to amplify the signal.
A line level output such as the iPod doesn't need such amplification and so, if you connect the iPod to the phono input of your stereo you will overload that input. The sound will be distorted and in many instances may cause damage to the speakers. The phono input is for turntables only. Connect the iPod to a line level input as previously mentioned.
The reason you will get a better sound from the iPod when connected to a stereo and using the line out port from the dock (and not the headphone jack on the iPod itself), is that the headhpone socket is powered by a low quality amp. It's meant to drive an easy load like headphones and not the input of a stereo.

IPod Nano has no sound

Hi,
I have a second gen iPod nano that was bought off eBay for Xmas.
I have downloaded some songs onto it but get no sound - not even the clicker sound.
I have tried the 5R's with no luck. I have also tried different headphones, playing through speakers and computers etc. and still get no sound.
Can anyone help?

Sounds like a problem i had with my U2 Special Edition ipod when i had it. Except i could play sound in Ipod Stattion/Speakers/Docks. It sounds like your Ipod Jack has got a problem and isn't working The little whole where you plus earphones/ipod into places either that or have you checked all the settings/volumes on the ipods?
If it has warrenty take ot back to Apple is all i can suggest.

IPod nano 2nd generation sound check bug

Every time I sync my 2nd generation 4Gb iPod nano with my computer to add songs to it, the sound check option becomes turned off, but it says it is still on. My iPod software is the latest version (1.1.3). Sound Check is turned on in iTunes, and I had it turned on in my iPod's settings menu before syncing. Turning it off and back on in the settings on the iPod after syncing re-enables sound check, but it turns back off every time I sync. I have also tried resetting and restoring the iPod nano, but it still has this problem. A third generation iPod nano used on the same computer doesn't have this problem. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong when syncing (auto sync, disk use enabled)?

This problem is also happening with my ipod, except the sound check function doesn't even work! My brother in product design says it could be a problem with the volume control chip in the ipod.

Ipod nano alarm clock

Hi guys, help needed
I was sent an email from Apple saying that i can use my ipod nano as an alarm clock, and thats true...i can, however it also said, wake up to your favourite track......
heres the problem, all i can get is a setting for a beep, not to have it come alaive at the set time with my favourite track...
any ideas appreciated
I have the latest software, and use Nike+ on windows xp verion 2
any help appreciated
mick

The track you want to wake up to must be in a playlist.
So, create a playlist (with just one track if that's all you want) and select this to wake up to.

Lack of good functionality for iPod Nano alarm timer?

Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a Gen 2 - 2GB Nano, and I had figured that between the Sleep function, the Alarm function, and the Stopwatch function, it would be something I could use to listen to music while working out, and at the same time use it as a timer for the couple of exercises I do that I'd like to time (as opposed to counting).
I would think this would be a key use of Nanos by many people, but what I find is that all of the options are less than desirable.
Alarm: I could set the alarm to go off at the allotted time, but what I would want is the "beep" and for the "beep" to come through the headphones. I'm listening to music using the headphones, so I don't to hear the "beep" emitting from the Nano's "internal speaker". Selecting a Playlist to be the alarm sound does work to alert me to it being time to switch exercises, but "switch" is the key problem here because it switches to that new (or the beginning of the same) Playlist. In other words, the main function of the Nano for me is to listen to music, and perhaps that will be an entire album while I work out, but using the Playlist feature for the sound of the alarm means I will be interrupted in the midst of, say, track 4 of the Playlist I'm wanting to listen to for my workout.
Sleep Timer function: Only allows me to select in 15 minute intervals (I need 11 or 12 minutes for one particular exercise, though I could live with 10 minutes, but that’s not even there). Plus the abrupt shutoff of the music that's playing is horrible. The intent of the Sleep Timer function of course makes the 15 minute interval choices make sense, but a bit of a fade for the music shutoff would be an improvement (and less likely to wake someone up who was just drifting off). If the Sleep Timer could actually let me set the number of minutes, it would be my solution (since upon stopping the music that’s playing, that position in the Playlist is retained and one can start listening again where one left off).
Stopwatch: Stopwatch isn't really useful for what I'm trying to do. It would be, of course, if it had a "timer" setting that let you program it for a number of minutes to count down, then upon reaching zero it would beep in the headphones along with the music being played, or just fade the music that’s playing, similar to what the Sleep Timer does, though it does it abruptly...
So two questions:
1. Do any more experienced iPod owners know of a way I can do what I’m trying to do? (Play music, be alerted when a specific number of minutes are up, and not have the position in the Playlist of the music I’m listening to be lost.)
2. What is the way to make suggestions to Apple for changes to the iPod software?
Any help/comments appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich Apple (and yes, Apple is my name, and no, Apple the company has never seen fit to give me a computer and take advantage of the wonderful “stealth advertising” I would naturally be… Oh, your name is Apple? Do you own the computer company? Well, no, but they actually did give me a computer; that’s how groovy they are.)
Nano 2GB Generation 2

Thank you, Jeff, for the couple of answers. I did put in a couple enhancement requests via the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html link, and I imagine such requests carry more weight if others also request them.
I requested that Apple make it so one can be alerted to an alarm via the headphones without losing the position in the playlist that one is listening to, or that the Sleep Timer be changed to accept a number of minutes rather than just choosing between the 15 minute increments. (Either being a means to time something (excersize, hard-boiling an egg, sex, or anything) and be alerted when the time is up without having to lose one's place in the Playlist.)
I also requested that the Sleep Timer function use a fade-out rather than the abrupt shut-off of the music.
Again, thanks for the link, and thanks for confirming that you too can't find a way to do the timed periods in the way that I would think many others would want.

IPod Nano 2nd Gen Sound worse than 1st gen

Hi, i got a nano 2gen and the sound is not satisfactory to me. Especially the bass is not strong enough. Heard about other nano 2g user having the same problem. I'm using the Firmware 1.1.1. Heard that the firmware 1.1 sounded better!
Will there be another upgrade improving the sound?

The iPod eq is, in my opinion, trash and I never use it.
I have no wish to be told that the frequency settings for "rock" for instance is how I should be listening to rock music. Those settings are only the opinion of whoever made that preset in the first place.
This is a very subjective issue however, and I appreciate that some like to use the preset eq. One person's audio nirvana would most likely have others reaching for the off switch! Ask yourself why many high quality audio amps don't even have tone controls.
The eq on devices such as the iPod is low quality, and as someone who works in the recording industry, I can tell you that it's only when you have an eq device costing many $/£/€ (such as a SoundCraft mixing console) does it produce anything other than a nasty effect.
If there's going to be any eq on a device such as the iPod, it ought to be at the very least user definable.
Each to his own though. : )

Ipod nano (new) no sound on resumption

I have downloaded my audible books without problem, but when I resume listening the following day, having cancelled "hold", the reading starts up on the time bar but there is simply no sound.If I then reset I am returned to zero and have to scrub forward to the required position.
I have returned one iPod with this fault but the replacement has the same problem!!

The jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headphones all the way in until the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

Ipod nano 2nd Gen sound EQ reducing sound quality?

Hey there every one i have a slight complaint.
When ever i turn the sound EQ on to rock or anything else i can hear what sounds like static or crackling in the backgroud. Now its not to notice-able but its still annoying. And when i turn off EQ it goes away.
Im thinkin this is a firmware issue (i have 1.1)
any one else have this problem?

Something that many iPod users have known for awhile...iPod's EQ's leave much to be desired. The sound may be better depending on the type of earphones you use (I think a lot of people enjoy the Shure brand but I have never used them)....but it's a pretty well known issue that the EQ's need a lot of work.
