IPod Nano & dock question

Hi, my brother has dock which he uses with his forth gen iPod and which I have also used on my Mini, I've just purchased a Nano that came with a dock adaptor, how and where does this fit on the dock? It has two small white clips that seem to prevent the adaptor from sitting in the dock properly so I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to be using it although I'd like to as I'd prefer to have the Nano docked rather then lying on my desk, sorry if this sounds dumb and there's a really obvious answer but I just can get it to fit... Thanks!

Apparently, that adapter is for some third party type doohinkeys. It doesn't actually work with previously shipping Apple docks.

As long as the dockings station has a headphones jack on it, you can attach speakers.

Unusual iPod Nano Dock Connector

My iPod Nano 4GB Black (Second Generation) appears to have an unusual dock connector on the bottom. All the accessories that seem to be available have a wide connector on them bu the connector on my iPod Nano is very small.
Does anyone know why this is please?

where did you buy the "iPod"? To know if it really is an iPod, look on the back, it should have an Apple logo. Look for a serial number. Does it have a click wheel? Do you need to use iTunes to update it? Is the headphoone port to the right of the iPod Dock connector? If you answered "no" to any of these or the "iPod" in question does not look like others, you don't have an iPod. I suppose it would be possible for someone to put iPod software on a fake, but it would be hard because the iPod updaters are no longer available and the 2nd Generation Nano just used iTunes to update it, not another program. The cable you use to connect the device should be from Apple and should be white. The wide end that plugs into the iPod is called the "30 Pin Dock Connector" and should have a small rectangle with a line through it (both grey). The USB A end (the smaller one that plugs into your computer) should have the Apple logo and the USB symbol. There should be no printing on the cord. if the iPod in question does not resemble ANY of this, it's a counterfeit.

IPod Nano dock connection

Does iPod Nano has a dock connection? I am still using iPod mini, wish I can use all my other accessories. Thanks Alex

Apple Universal dock & ipod Universal Dock will work with any iPods with dock connector slots.
I have found that all the dock-connecting accessories which I used with my iPod mini will work fine with the new 3G nano.
I suggest you visit <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233> for more info.

About The Apple iPod nano Dock

I'm going away for a month where I won't have a computer, so I'm thinking of buying this product. But I'm not exactly sure what it does. It charges it even when it's away from a computer, right? And does it need the iPod USB Power Adapter to charge my nano?

The dock is just a place to stand your Nano. Like I have one for my Video. It can be used at the computer to transfer music, and away, to charge. The only way it would charge your iPod Nano when away from the computer is if you have the USB Cable (comes with iPod) and the USB Power Adapter. (sold seperately)

Nano Dock question

Hey Gang,
I have a 3G 20gig, my daughter has a 4G 20gig... and now my wife wants a NANO 4gig. Looking at the docks, seems the Nano dock is a bit different, will the Nano fit onto my current dock (made for the 3/4G 20gigs) ???
Thanks Scott

I would recommend buying the Universal Dock from Apple. It works with all iPods with dock connectors and has seperate inserts for each model so that they will fit snuggly. Since the nano is much thinner than the full sized iPods it will not fit in the older dock snuggly and you risk breaking the dock connector or the pins for it in the nano.

Ipod Nano Docking Remote

Windows XP
Ipod nano bought as a package with an "I Bass" speaker dock from Curry's as a Chrisrmas present - only sound buttons on dock remote will work i.e cannot change track or pause remotely.
New Ipod works OK in another dock whilst buttons work when another Ipod is in the new I Bass dock - therefore cannot identify which if any is faulty (new IPod or new Dock)- can anyone offer any help.

To reset the dock to work with all remotes
Then see if the remote works. You also don't really need to pair it unless you have multiple devices.

Simple Ipod Nano Music Question

Ok on my nano I have probably 20 cd's loaded on there and they are all nicely organized in the "Albums" Folder on the Ipod.
My question is I have a CD that my brother made for me with all different songs on it and different music groups.
I want to put it on the Nano, How would I do this because I do not want these songs appearing in the "Album" section of the Nano, because these are obvilusly not full albums by one Artist.
Any suggestions or help?

Being its a "Personally created" CD it should show up blank in iTunes. Everything will be blank except the "Name" field, there you will see "Track 1" "Track 2" "Track23" ect ect.
You will have to manually type in the name of each track before importing it

IPod nano 1G questions,

Hello!
While tidying my bedroom I've come across one of my family members old iPod nano 1G, after asking why it was in my room I remembered that when he had it the iPod overheated and the Display cracked. He never used it after this as he didn't know what was wrong. Now when plugging it in there is a low pitched buzzing noise and it doesn't work...
Would I be able to send the iPod to Apple under the Recall as it overheated and broke a while ago. I just thought I would ask here before sending it.
Thankyou,
Jack :)

Yes, it qualifies.

The amount of songs you can fit on any iPod will be determined by how they are encoded.
Apples estimates for song quantity are based on tracks being 128kbps AAC files of about 4 minutes each.
Using that estimate, a 2GB Nano will hold about 500 tracks, and a 4GB Nano will hold about 1000 tracks.
If your tracks are encoded at a higher bitrate, use a lossless encoding method, or are generally longer than 4 minutes each... you won't fit quite as many tracks as Apples estimate.

ITunes Match and iPod Nano Syncing Question

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. My son and husband still have iPod Nanos. How do you sync the nano with the iTunes match?

I subscribed to Match because the USB ports in the laptop where my iTunes playlists resides are toast - do not work. I could not sync my iPod to it. So I thought if I subscribed to Match, I would be able to access my playlists with my other laptop. I have iTunes installed on my other laptop and the USB ports work! I also authorized my other laptop for the account.
So I thought "great - I'll access my original playlists with my second laptop and connect my iPod Nano and sync it to the second laptop and it will load my playlists on my Nano".
Nope - I get nothing. I have it set up to sync automatically - didn't work. I tried to sync manually - it acts like it's syncing, tells me it's done and there is nothing on my Nano. Help?!

Ipod nano restore question

how long does it take to restore settings in my ipod nano?

If your computer doesn't have a low amount of RAM, restoring normally takes up to about 4-5 minutes. Remember, if you have multiple windows or programs running at the bottom bar of your screen, this will slow up the speed of the process. Overall, it's a pretty quick process.

IPod Nano Accesories question

Does anyone know if Apple makes little plastic screen covers for the ipod nano? I don't want to take off the packaging completely until I have another cover to protect it with. Thanks for any help.

I don't think Apple do (maybe I'm wrong) but many other people do. Most shops that sell Nano's sell those too.
Shops that sell handheld pc's, palms and other screen devices often also sell screen protectors for those devices that you can cut to size for your Nano.
