Ipod Nano FM Transmitter adaptor - which one?

I recently bought an Ipod nano for my girlfriend and would like to by an FM transmitter to operate it through my car stereo. My question is, which type of transmitter is compatible with a Nano? I know Griffin technologies makes a couple of different types of transmitters for Ipods but I don't know if they fit a Nano or not. Can anyone help?

I can second the Monster CarFM transmitter. We have one for each car. We got the version that lets you program in any frequency because we live in a radio-dirty area.
While Griffin has many nifty version of the iTrip, I would recommend using a transmitter with a dock connector that also charges the iPod at the same time. I had an iTrip for my 40 GB iPod, but it had a couple of issues: 1) changing frequency was a pain, 2) signal strength would fade over time unless the iPod was also connected to a charger.
Another issue is that when I switched from using my 40 GB iPod to using the nano in the car, the iTrip wouldn't work for me. That's why I recommend using a transmitter with a dock connector. It is more likely to be compatible with any future iPod you may get.

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

My iPod Mini 3rd Generation isn't recognized in My Computer or iTunes. I can't even restore it without iTunes. The same thing happened with my iPod Nano 3rd Generation, but that one worked for a while, and suddenly went unrecognized.

How to sync iPod Nano to Outlook on just one machine?

I'm using my iPod Nano with two different computers. Is there a way to get my iPod to sync to my Outlook calendar on one computer without having it sync to the (different) Outlook calendar on the other when I plug in? This means that I lose all of the events from the first computer. Unlike the Mac iCal settings, there aren't options that let me set which calendar(s) to sync.
Any ideas? Do you know if this is something that's going to be fixed in the next iPod firmware or iTunes update?

I meant can't sync podcasts.

How do i sync an old Ipod nano account to a new one?

My husband has an iPod Nano. He used to have it set up on an old computer linked to an email address that is now no longer in opperation. We have now put ITunes onto a new computer and he has created a new Itunes account under a new email address. He has now burned some CD's onto the account (under the new email address) however we can't work out how to put these songs onto his ipod nano?
We plug his ipod in, and when we click on the device it shows all of his old songs on his nano, but we can't get the old and new songs to sync, or at least the new songs onto his nano and override his old songs.
Can anyone help??

Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want, sync

My ipod nano (6g) screen is stuck one way!

I got the new ipod nano and i turned the screen left and now its stuck like this and i cant turn it back. I restored it and its ok now, but it doesn't turn any way now! HELP!!

How are you trying to rotate the display? All you should need to do is place to fingers such as your thumb and pointer finger and slide them in either a clockwise or counterclockwise motion.

IPod Nano lacks important feature which Shuffle has

I got myself a shuffle a few months ago and I think it's great. Recently I started wanting a screen to navigate through my music so I upgraded to the Nano. I've got a lot of music in iTunes and all of it is around 320aac or lossless.
So what am I getting at? I could fit MUCH MORE music on my Shuffle than on my nano, even though the Nano has 4 times the capacity!!! This is because of a little check box available to iPod shuffles which once ticked adds your music to your iPod at 128kbps.
It is completely useless that the Nano doesn't have this feature and I'm probably going to convert back to my Shuffle because of it - I want high quality music in my home but not necessarily on my iPod. I am aware that it would take ages to sync with higher capacities but please note this post is assuming you're in the manually manage music mode.
I suppose then this is a feature request unless the is infact a way around this currently within iTunes.
Thanks

The shuffle is the only iPod that has an on-the-fly conversion option. For the larger iPods the files have to be converted in iTunes first or indeed have to have been imported in a more compressed format prior to transfer. If you have space on your hard drive one workaround in this case would be to use the "Sync Music - Selected Playlist" update option and sync the iPod using a playlist that contains only lower bit rate songs:Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
As for having this option on other iPods a feature you can as you say post a feature request: Apple Product Feedback

My iPod Nano FM is locked in one place and I cannot move the dial to the right past 90.0

How can I unlock the FM radio on my iPod Namo dial which is locked in place at 90.0 and I cannot move the dial to the right?

Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano

Would it be more expensive to replace the screen on my iPod nano generation 6 or purchase a new one?

Today I dropped my sixth generation iPod nano which cracked the screen, and my "Apple Care" has runout. Would I be better off purchasing a new iPod or having the screen replaced by a Springboard Apple Specialist.

AppleCare does not apply to accidents, so it would not have helped.
You can get an Apple Certified Refurb iPod nano (8GB) for $99, which has the same one-year warranty as a new one. And it looks new. You'll have to get a quote from your repair specialist and decide if it's an economical repair.

Would Like to get an iPod but not sure which one would be the best for me..

i have done some research on the iPods, the easiest to use, which ones are best for fitness workouts, etc. I had an iPod Classic sometime ago but I ruined it because I tried to install the program it came with but it was already installed and the second install I did ruin it. At least this is what the genius bar guy said.
Anybody who knows iPods fairly well. I am new to my MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to synch the music in iTunes with the iPod for music for various activities. I also have trouble with the ear phones that come with the iPods, so I was looking at a website that had earphones ranging from $300 to $500 approx for people who have various needs in addition to using them at studios while mixing new music. I just want a pair that will stay in my odd shaped ears, have great quality, and work well with the iPods.
Any recommendations on iPod for exercise. I am not big on videos but having some good music gets me through a hard workout. One problem I have is that the genus guys could not fix the multiple setting, software, preference settings, etc. that had become corrupted in my old Mac and because several genius guys could not fix the numerous problems they gave me a new MacBook Pro. However, they recommended that since my problems were all setting, software issues and problems I have add with adding music in iTunes, that none of my pictures, music or setting be transferred to the new MBP but to start over. They did not even save any of my iTunes and pictures which I thought was odd but what could I say since they were giving me a new MBP. If anybody has a legal way of transferring from my friend;s iTunes the music he has that I can use for the yoga and mind-body classes I teach, which I am getting nervous on because I start the classes next week. I do not have the money to buy the yoga and other fitness music in hours like I use to have. My friend will let me transfer some of his music that he had from his own cds and some but few from iTunes, but that I could get them on myTunes if I could find out how to do that.
I researched that and since my friend did not care about atwork, artists of the songs on one cd, for example, the genre, tracks, artists, etc. he does have some but I would want to do the research and get the artwork and the titles of the various songs, the tracks, and all the info one gets when they transfer a new cd to iTunes. I had this problem with some of my old music but with google images, and finding the cd online I was able to get all the CDs accurate, even the double CDs that iTunes would have as one cd, but I figured out how to get them to one cd.
The ways ITunes Help advices on moving songs from one iTunes to another computer with iTunes, they recommend an iPod, transferring them to a DVD and burn the DVd on to my new MacBook Pro, with several other option that were beyond my ability to understand. If anybody has suggestions how to get my friend;s songs to my iTunes so I can have enough New Age and Yoga music for the classes that start next week, I would really appreciate it.
I also want to start backing up using time Machine and LaCie Rugged hard disk FW, USB, 400 0r 800 FW, 7200 speed, usb, etc. I am not up-to-date on the speed of the LaCie and if the 7200 speed would be a waste of money. Any recommendations for getting this device, not hooking it up to a wireless devise but to the Time Machine. If it does not come formatted for the new MacBook Pro and is it a big deal formatting the hard drive so I would be able to start using it right out of the box. Any suggestions n the iPod, and the LaCie rugged external hard drive would be a hugh help. I cannot afford a Time Capsule right now so I though the LaCie would be the next best thing
Thanks!!
