IPOD NANO in Chinese

I just got a new IPOD NANO and when I charge it up it displays Chinese characters and my computer doesn't seem to recognize it.
Ive been through the "5" steps without success....anyone have any ideas how to get this thing back to English and to link it to my ITUNES?
Thanks.

  • ITunes/iPod nano & chinese song names [please help]

    i own an iPod nano 4gb.
    first question is is there a setting i can choose (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the default? anyone that has chinese songs with chinese characters will notice that the font as compared to english text is relatively lighter (not as bold). hence, it is harder to read.
    second question concerns chinese music. all my songs are chinese and the song names, artist names, album names etc are in chinese characters. those files that appear with chinese characters by default on Windows appear fine on the iPod nano as well. however, most of my songs require a program called NJStar Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese characters - those that have chinese music should know what i'm talking about. without NJStar, the names just appear as random symbols in Windows. the problem is, all of the songs that require NJStar appear on the iPod nano as symbols despite the fact that they appear as chinese characters on iTunes when NJStar is turned ON. when NJStar is turned OFF, the names are just displayed as symbols on iTunes. irregardless of whether i update my iPod nano when NJStar is on or off, the names remain as symbols on the iPod nano and i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can fix this or perhaps it's just tough cookies XD
    any information is much appreciated,
    many thanks.

    I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

  • Ipod nano replacement program webpage

    I have an old Ist generation Ipod nano. Went to the webpage for the replacement program and when you input the serial number and click submit there’s a slight pause while the small graphic goes round and round and then nothing. It stays on the same page.. I googled this and other people have been having the same problem. Is the webpage broken and is there a way of working round this?

    Don't waist your time calling. You will get the runnaround with no answer. They don't know what is going on. One thing I do is I have tell them to go through the repair process. They cannot get the repair started either. They see what we see. They say there is no time it will be fixed but it will be fixed. speculations say it's the chinese new year that is messing things up....

  • IPod cannot show chinese character now, previously can

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for trying to help.
    So I have some songs with Chinese characters in the song names. They work perfectly fine, I mean before, when they become symbols, I just use the ID3Mod to convert them and import them into my iPod nano and I can see all right names.
    Now, I don;t know what happened, I just discovered today. I found that most of the chinese characters cannot be displayed, they did not become strange monsters symbols, but " " blank.
    Do Anyone have any idea what have happened ?
    The thing I did today is just import a few new songs.
    P.S: those names shown perfectly well in iTunes
    Thanks very much.

    I've got the same problem with itunes, quicktime, and also imported Safari bookmarks (the list is doubtless longer than that, but that's what I use and have noticed so far)
    The OS recognises the Chinese, in fact in most cases I wrote the Chinese text in Mac OSX, and it displays the text correctly in the file name but when you open in itunes or quicktime it's scrambled into nonsense.
    Since Chinese people constitute 1.3 Billion consumers that's a pretty poor show from Apple.. (LOL)

  • Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen.q

    Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen That was broken (in 2 places) during disassembly.
    The lcd screen and digitizer were both replaced but the top 1/3 inch of the screen doesn't respond to any touch.

    They have 2 parts for sale for the nano 7th gen.  Ac adapter and charging cable.  I need to find one of those Chinese parts sites, they seem to have items that you cannot find in the states yet.

  • Lyrics font size (iPod nano 4g)?

    Is there any way to increase the lyrics font size in iPod nano (4 gen)?
    Chinese is particularly hard to read on the default settings
    The "increase" font option only affects the menus.
    Thanks!

    wow, i have the exact same problem! i'm studying chinese, and want to read chinesepod transcripts on my ipod but they're so hard to see!

  • Games? No Games? 5G iPod Nano

    Hi,
    this has been asked before but the answers were not clear to me. Are there any games to download anywhere for the 5th Generation iPod Nano? The apps store on iTunes says clearly that only up to 4th Gen is compatable. Is this still true? If so, will there ever be any? Bit dissappointed if only ever have the ones that came with it.
    Thanks,
    Theo

    I don't have a nano or games so I cannot say they will "definitely" work.
    Just that as I stated, the US store shows all the iPod click wheel games as being compatible with 3rd, 4th and 5th gen nanos.
    I doubt that they would work in the US but not work anywhere else so it's likely the iTunes Store - UK games page has not been updated.
    I will forward this info to someone who can likely get that page fixed.
    Actually, only the page where all of the games are listed says that they are compatible with 5th gen nano. If you look at any individual game, it also lists which iPods they work with, and there are NO games that indicate that they are compatible with 5th gen nano (they are compatible with some other 5th gen iPod, which is not the same as nano). This is in the US; I suspect that the person asking this question is seeing the same thing in the UK. If you can get this fixed in the US, too, so that the individual games that are compatible with 5th gen say that they are, that would be great, since apparently some are and some aren't.
    Otherwise, we do have some limited anecdotal evidence from previous threads, and also from some of the comments in the iTunes store. The .99 games (Reversi and Chinese Checkers) reportedly do not work with 5th gen nano. There was a thread within the past week that you can look for where someone did try three games which did work. The only one I remember off the top of my head is Zuma. I believe I have also seen messages in the past indicating that Monopoly and Sonic also work.
    [edit] The thread I was talking about was last written to on 3/14, and is called 'Definitive answer please'. The other two games he tried were Uno and Sudoku, and he wrote what he thought of all three. Zuma sounded like the best bet, although the other two did work also.

  • Can i have an ipod mini and an ipod nano on same account

    My daughter got an ipod mini 2 christmas's ago and so we have an itunes account. This christmas my son got an ipod nano because they had discontinued the minis. My son likes a lot of the songs that my daughter had on her ipod and i really dont want to use all that money just to rebuy songs. I was wondering if there was any way that I could use one account and they both have the same songs on their ipods.

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. One way is is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. You could create one playlist for the Mini and one for the Nano. Each playlist can have whatever songs you like in it drawn from the single library. Have a look at the article linked below: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • IPod Nano 4Gb (2nd Gen) not detected by Windows or iTunes

    I am hoping someone can help me with this as I am at my wits end.
    When I plug my iPod into the usb port, it begins the charging process, but neither windows, nor iTunes will detect any new devices. I have tried the 4 R's (the fifth needs a connection with iTunes), putting it into disc mode, and even on 3 different windows computers, but no dice. To save the no doubt normal questions, The usb ports are 2.0, and brand spanking new, which i have tested sucessfully with other usb devices, so I know it's not the usb port. I have the latest drivers & updates installed, and the latest version of iTunes also installed.
    Other potentially useful info:
    The model is iPod nano 4bg alu 2nd gen
    It's not new, i was given it as a gift by a friend who upgraded to the video model.
    Though I can't be sure, I suspect that the dock cable isn't an apple product. Given that *very few* places where I live sell official iPod accessories, it is difficult for me to check.
    Like I said, i really hope someone can help me, I really don't know how long i can go listening to my friends rather dubious music tastes...

    Hello, Pete. 
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

  • Ipod Nano no longer recognized by Itunes

    I have an Ipod Nano that I used with my Toshiba and Itunes. About a month ago, I got an Ipod Touch (lots of fun)and used it with the same Itunes. It worked fine. However, it does not recognize the Nano anymore. It charges but nothing else happens. Any thoughts? The Nano is recognized by other computers.
    Thanks!

    I've run into similar problems. I have four iPods (a firewire 3G, a Shuffle, a nano and a 5G) attached to my PC and I've yet to get all of them to show up in iTunes at once, even after restoring and reloading each of them. The Shuffle shows up for a few seconds, then goes away. The Nano, 3G and 5G stick around for a while, but if two of them are connected to the system, one of them (usually the nano or the 3G) vanishes from iTunes when the third is connected.
    ITunes won't say so specifically, but you won't be able to successfully restore a device unless it's the only one connected to your system. What's more, if you have more than one iPod connected when you attempt to restore one, there's a good chance you'll screw up your other one instead. No big deal, unless you're on your way out the door and must now wait for 6000 songs to resync, but still a hassle.
