IPod nano and BMW iPod adaptor?

Will the iPod nano connect to the BMW iPod adaptor directly or via an adaptor?
Thanks
Tony

It should connect directly. From what I have seen, the iPod your BMW adapter uses the dock connector, which is on the iPod nanos (1G and 2G).

Ipod Nano and Icelink Car adapter

Well i recently installed the Icelink adapter on my BMW's Bussiness CD. I bought an Ipod Nano and i am facing a weird issue that noone can explain.
Though the Nano works fine with the CD player in my car, in certain songs "Warning" is displayed in the CD player's screen and either Nano or CD Player turns off and back on.
If i skip the song within 2-3 minutes moving forwards/backwards it works until i reach a song that can be played.
Note that i controll the Nano from the CD Player's menu buttons.
I have also upgraded it to software version 1.1.1 but still it does the same thing and only in certain songs.
It's weird cause all of these songs play fine in any player in my laptop and through Nano connected to my home stereo or earphones.
An other funny thing is that i connected another regular IPOD which interacts with the car's CD Player fine without having issues like the ones i mentioned above.
Does anyone have any idea why this issue occures??
Thanks in advance.

Well i figured it out.
In order for icelink to transmit the song played in Nano to the CD Player, all songs must have information related both to the Song title and artist name. Otherwise Icelink can not work properly and interact completely with the CD Player.
The info should be added through Itunes only.

Getting the Alpine iPod adaptor to work with the nano

I've had my Nano since September and love it. Had to purchase a new stereo for my car so I had a new Alpine Head Unit and the iPod adaptor installed. The radio works great. The adaptor will not work on my Nano no matter what I do. The error message I get is that my iPod doesn't support the attached accessory.
I've reset my Nano to factory settings twice and I've reset the Head Unit once. That seems to fix everyone else's problem but not mine. Now I'm stuck because I went to the Apple Store and was told my Nano is fine its an Alpine problem, I call Alpine and was told it works just fine with the Nano so it must be a Nano problem. At this point I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Gary,
Thanks so much for your response. I have the Alpine 9847 with the 420i iPod adaptor.
And I should have mentioned this before I did go back to the store for help. They tried and tried but couldn't get it to work (they reset my iPod several times and reset the head unit as well). They even tried to get my Nano to work on some other units in the store - Kenwoods and Alpines and couldn't get it to work anywhere. They swear to me that they've used this adaptor on other Nano's so they said go to the Apple store your iPod must be defective. The sales guy even brought out his iPod (40G I think - don't know the version) and it worked just fine in my car so of course in their mind an iPod work they've used it for other Nano's so they think the hook-up is OK (and I'm hard pressed to argue).
The man at the Apple Store said that the 420i doesn't work with Nanos or iPod videos because it was designed to work with USB Mass Storage and the Nano and iPod video uses PTP (I have no idea what this means). He said the problem was with Alpine because the adaptor needed a software update. I called the audio store back (and this is a actual audio store not a Best Buy/Circuit City type store) and they said they would look into this.
So I called Alpine and the man told me there is no software update and as far as he knew it worked with Nano and iPod videos even though it wasn't designed to work with them; there was nothing he could do for me so his solution was go buy a new iPod (of course my options are a Nano or an iPod video which brings me full circle to it won't work with the 420i). Plus its new I don't want another iPod I like the one I have!
So Apple says its Alpine's adaptor, and Alpine says its Apple's iPod - I say I just want to listen to my music!
The audio store is still trying to help but they seemed stumped as well. My iPod has had some quirks (took me over an hour to get my computer to recognize it tonight to reload songs, I have to have iTunes open before plugging in the Nano or it jams) but I never thought much about it. Is there such a thing as a tempermental Nano that can't be trained?
Thanks again for your help! (And sorry its so long but I figured the more info the better.)

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

How do you know it will not let you? Are you getting an error message? What is the error message?

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

Hello pryan1012,
What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

Hope this helps.
