IPod Nano Firmware v1.1

Where, oh where can one find a list of bugs fixed by the new Nano firmware v1.1 update?

What you really want is the list of bugs introduced.
There's one that's really annoying me: when I hit the centre button to get to the ratings screen the user interface often freezes for a few seconds. When it does eventually go to the ratings screen it ends up in a bizarre state that pressing the centre button doesn't take you back to the main screen again, instead it scrolls the screen sideways to reveal the ratings screen again. This never used to happen.

Downgrading iPod Nano Firmware

Does anybody know how to downgrading apple iPod Nano Firmware ?

It may be on Apple's site somewhere, but transmitting it any other way is piracy and therefore a violation of the terms of this forum.
Downgrading firmware is almost never an appropriate way to troubleshoot. If you post complete descriptions of your specific problems, we could probably provide some better ideas.

IPod Nano Firmware crash, reproducable

I was recently given an iPod nano 4GB for my birthday. My review is here: http://megaphone.unixdaemons.com/?p=25
I'm subscribed to several podcasts. I use the latest version of iTunes on Windows XP. This morning I sync'd up my podcasts and there were two new episodes (I am subscribed to a total of 5 shows, and 2 shows had each a new episode). Before sync'ing up the iPod, I decided to do some cleanup.
Through iTunes, I cleared everything on my iPod (songs and podcasts). I noticed that although the podcast episodes themselves were cleared, the podcast show FOLDERS still existed on the iPod, but were empty.
After some playing around, i noticed that if you have at least one empty podcast folder (I don't know why iTunes doesn't garbage collect empty podcast folders?), the iPod nano firmware boots up, and you can browse the high-level menu items EXCEPT FOR MUSIC. If you click on the "Music" high-level menu item, the firmware crashes and the Apple logo appears on the nano screen as it resets itself. If you try to just hit "play" without entering the Music sub-menu it actually does play and you can skip forward and backward. But the moment you try to browse the Music sub-folder, the OS crashes.
My workaround is, since I have 5 podcast show folders on the iPod, to keep at least ONE episode from each in each folder, and this works just fine, although my iPod now stores some old shows, taking up some space, even though I've already listened to them.
Help?
Cheers,
Bosko.

So I called Apple Support and apparently the problem has not yet been reported but while talking to the service rep found a more viable workaround.
The bug seems to be that if you have Podcast episodes in iTunes that you drag over to your iPod, the first time you do so, a directory underneath the "Podcasts" category on your iPod will be created to store episodes for the given show. If you then go ahead and highlight each episode within that show's folder on your iPod with iTunes, right-click, and click on "Clear", you'll notice that while the episode disappears, the empty directory FOR THAT SHOW will remain within "Podcasts" on your iPod.
And that's where the problem is. The iPod nano firmware seems to crap itself when you then try to access the "Music" top-level menu item if there is at least one empty podcast show directory on it.
The workaround to not waste any space is to access the iPod via iTunes, and instead of clearing individual shows, right-click on the podcast show's folder itself and click on "clear", this will properly get rid of all the episodes within that show AS WELL AS THE SHOW'S FOLDER.
Hopefully someone will fix the firmware bug in the future. For now, this is how to deal with it.
Cheers,
Bosko

Apple checklist for fixing iPod nano firmware!

Sorry i just wanted to leave a list somewhere! just to make sure that i have vented my concerns - i love the new interface, just these few bugs really nark me off over time, so i wanted to list them so that apple is definitely aware that they exist and can fix them! even if noone reads this - at least i can say i submitted my observations to apple somehow.
1. Camera Photos in full screen mode go black
2. Once, while playing music, songs didn’t play - stuck at 0:00, album arts were all like static television images even in coverflow
3. Cover flow shows too much of same album arts.. should be grouped into albums NOT artists
4. ‘P’ in title bar when syncing with time in title option on
5. In podcast menu, selecting a podcast, then pressing menu, takes back to podcast menu, but photo thumbnails no longer load!
6. Occasionally nano has turned off for no reason.. inexplicably

9. Select a video podcast to play. The screen goes black briefly and then you are returned to the podcast list. Select the podcast a second time and the podcast plays.

File size of Notes on iPod nano?

Hello,
my question is about the file size of notes to be handled by the iPod nano.
I have copied several ASCII text-files into the Notes folder of my iPod nano. Each has a size of approx. 20 kByte. Windows Explorer shows them in the iPod Notes folder with their original size.
However, when opening one of the text files on the iPod nano, text is only displayed until approx. 700 words (approx. 4000 characters), which corresponds to approx. 4 kByte. The larger rest of the file is not displayed, as if it was cut.
Is this an error?
Or is 4 kByte the max. size of text files which can be displayed as notes on the iPod nano?
I have updated the iPod nano firmware recently with release 1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is an online utility for doing this - will save you tons of time AND adds links so you go from one section of the larger file to the next:

Until they inprove the file size that the iPods can read, this is your only real way to use your iPod as an ebook reader.

IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks.

Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions?
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Ipod Nano + Alpine CDE-9873rb + Full speed connnection

Hi all,
I bought reciently a new radio-CD *Alpine CDE-9873rb* with full speed connection for my ipod. I have the cable installed and the full speed connection acitvated, now I have a new *3G ipod nano* and when I connect it to the radio, ipod screen turns white... with the words..."connected"... but the *radio cant control my ipod*. I cant play nothing with it... I dont know if that is a problem which will be resolved with new Ipod Nano firmwares or if its an installation problem.
Any thought? How can i resolve this issue?Anyone with the same problem?
Thank you,
Oscar

Hi,
I have mine connected to my Alpine CDA-9887R using the full speed cable, but it works fine. However, the screen goes white (with the back-light continually on) but says noting on the screen. With my old 4g 20gig ipod, "Alpine - OK to disconnect" was displayed.

I can't view photos in my iPod Nano

Please, someone help me. I'm doing exactly how the manual says that I must do, but the photos doens't appear. Photo Library don't appear, only "photos", but not Photo library. What should I do?

Please, someone help me. I'm doing exactly how the
manual says that I must do, but the photos doens't
appear. Photo Library don't appear, only "photos",
but not Photo library. What should I do?
I am new to the ipod world, I won the thing. So since I had
no music on my computer but lots of photo's thought I would
load some to check out how they look.
After trying for an hour, updating to the latest 1.1.1 ipod
nano firmware, latest itunes 6.0.4.2 I fixed the problem.
I had to put at least one song on the nano and then the
"Photo Library" folder along with the folder name I was
syncing showed up. This is a bug <|:-(

ITunes does not sync Addressbook & Calender on my iPod Nano

Hi,
I am using Mac OS X 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6.1 with an iPod Nano Firmware V 1.1. Since I have updated iTunes from 7.6 to 7.6.1 my adressbook and calender data is not synchronized any more. No data of both applications will copied to my iPod. Are there any workarounds that fixes that kind of problem?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
first please check the option "deactivate automatic sync for all iPhones and iPods" (iTunes Prefs - Sync)
It is checked by default (hope the option is right - I use german iTunes)
I build up my adressbook new (export data first, then remove folder /user/library/appl support/addressbook, afterwards import data again) - the next sync works!
With iCal I never had trouble.

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2.
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes. I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !

Ipod nano video firmware

I think the current v1.0.2 firmware is in need of an update, as this has caused me no end of problems with my ipod nano video, causing it to shutdown on it's own and then require switch to disk mode, to restore. Trouble is, each time I get it back to v1.0.1 firmware, as soon as it's connected to iTunes, it recognises v1.0.2 is available and prompts me to install (whether I have auto update checked or not).
With v1.0.2 I also have a problem after I've added songs as the ipod just switches to a black screen with the apple logo and it can't be used. Not much use for a player bought as a present for someone.
So c'mon Apple, do the decent thing and provide a firmware update to fix this problem, as it seems I'm far from being the only one having problems going by the forums here.

Send your feedback to Apple via the appropriate link.

How to run games on ipod nano 2nd generation with firmware 1.1.1

Does anyone know if you can run games on the 2nd generation ipod nano with the latest firmware of 1.1.1 when the itunes store with games wants the system to have firmware 1.2.
This means that the games must only work on 1st generation ipods or that 2nd generation ipod nanos do not need this level of firmware.
Games are not loading on my ipod.
Any advice?

Nope, sorry but games are currently only supported on the 5th Generation (video) iPods. Also the 1.2 firmware is only for the 5th Generation iPods.

If I helped... please mark as helpful or solved. Thanks

IPod Nano stops working after 1.0.2 firmware update

I just updated the firmware of my ipod nano last night to 1.0.2. I was using thru out the day when it suddenly stops playing the next music in my playlist. My ipod shows the play icon but there is no sound and the play track is not moving. Tried to play a different music and videos but the same problem occurs. Tried to reset is several times but doesn't fix the problem will try to reset the firmware later when I get home.

Just got the nano 3rd gen yesterday. Already had a Nano 1st gen. Running Itunes 7.x on windows 2000 os at work (1st gen nano used there). Needed new Nano in a hurry, so went to RShack and bought one. Ran home....Itunes says wont work with Nano 3rd gen. Went to download upgrade for Itunes, and find out the upgrade won't run unless running windows XP or VISTA.... Borrrowed a laptop with XP OS and got latest Itunes. Happy...happy...joy...joy, now I can get Itunes and new Nano to work together. Now gotta get music off old Nano and into new Nano usiing borrowed laptop. (Found a program on net called 'SimpleCenter' to do this.) Xferred music from old Nano to Itunes on laptop, then transferred entire library to new Nano. (Was out of reach of wireless network while doing this, so was unable to 'UPDATE NANO' when prompted by Itunes.)
Sooo...
Took laptop over to its owners home (and wirless network) and Updated the firmware to 1.0.2. When supposedly complete, the new Nano starts to Reset continuously (Apple Logo....Menu Screen......Apple Logo.....Menu Screen....Apple Logo etc. etc.) Oh 'darn' ........
So frustrating.... Disconnected new Nano from laptop during the couple seconds the main menu was showing.
For grins went to play the solitaire game that comes with new Nano, but comes up with error message saying it (the game) won't load. (Worked fine earlier, before the 'upgrade')
Oh Mannnn..... I find that there a 'ton' of other 3rd gen Nano usere having same problem with firmware upgrade 1.0.2.
I will wait for some response from Apple on this issue for a few weeks before I take the device back to dealer. I expect that this problem will be resolved by Apple in quick order in the form of a new firmware upgrade (or something similar). I really don't want to hassle the dealer at this time, and can live with the old Nano at least until the end of November, when I will be needing both Nanos for a special event.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

IPod nano 3G goes into eternal loop with firmware 1.0.2 - fixed with 1.0.3?

After automatically upgrading to firmware 1.0.2, my iPod nano would enter an eternal loop (apple logo appears/disappears/appears/... until battery is empty) when ejecting from iTunes. The only way of resurrecting it was entering disk mode manually, then connecting & restoring original settings through iTunes. However, then the same problem was seen again when ejecting. I replaced the iPod twice, but both (brand new) devices showed exactly the same problem, right out of the box. I re-installed iTunes as well, no effect. Finally I asked (and got) my money back and returned the iPod. Has anyone else seen the same problem and does anyone know whether firmware update 1.0.3 has fixed the issue? I may then consider to buy another iPod...

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this with the last iPod I received, which already showed firmware 1.0.2 when connecting it to iTunes (i.e. without upgrading) and the described problem. I followed instructions for replacing the two files indicated with the 1.0.1 ones downloaded from the web, but iTunes still claimed to have firmware 1.0.2 on the iPod and the problems remained. Though Apple documentation claims that there is an option to set back the firmware to an earlier version, this option does not seem to exist in the Windows version, I only had the option to search for an upgrade or leave things as they are, so I was stuck with 1.0.2
