IPod nano in iPhone dock

Hi,
My iPod shuffle developed flash problems, so the only thing it is good for at this point is as a 10% discount on a new iPod. However, I don't feel like shelling out $++ for a dock when I already have an iPhone 3G dock attached to my Mac. Has anyone tried docking a 4G nano in an iPhone 3G dock? They're the same generation w.r.t. the dock connector pinouts, so I think it should just come down to whether it is a physical match. I tried to test the theory out at an Apple Store, but everything was locked down too tight to reach.

That's great, getting info on two out of four unknowns is a good start. The fact that it fits at all was important; the fact that it charges means that whatever revision of the charging pinouts they're on -- plus or minus the slow death of FireWire pin support -- it's compatible.
I'm pretty sure my other two unknowns (whether it will sync, whether it will play through) will likely just work fine given the first two answers... although actual experience would be nice to hear about.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough?

I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough? I know i wont need an adapter because it will fit into the wall outlet, but voltage wise, will i need a converter? Japan runs on 100 V. I am so confused on all of this...

As long as the adapter is 2 pronged, then you should be able to use it without any problems.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

Windows XP crashes when iPod Nano or iPhone 3G syncs

My computer has been crashing when i attempt to sync my iPod/iPhone
I had an iPod nano for about a year with no problems, I upgraded to Service Pack 2 and afterwards Service Pack 3 to get my iPhone 3G to work. It sync'ed well the first couple of times but now I cannot even get my old iPod to sync without my computer shutting down, I have the option on to not automatically restart on failure or something like that. No blue screen of death or anything
What should I do because I'm really honestly quite frustrated at this point. Any help is greatly appreaciated.

I've been getting the same problem since upgrading to 7.1. Upgraded to 7.7.1 problem still happens. I have searched everywhere for a fix and a thread where some diagnosis seemed to be taking place but this has been extremely slow.
As a workaround, I found that using an older USB port works. USB 2.0 seems to always crash my iPod Nano 3rd Generation. My 1st Generation works fine with USB 2.0
I hope this helps.

How to export my library off my ipod nano to iphone

Hello - Please can someone tell my how to export my music library of nearly 500 songs off my Ipod Nano 2nd generation onto my Iphone 5 - only the purchased songs have been exported in Match.
Thanks

Go to iTunes and Transfer all songs from iPod to Computer after that, you can sync those songs from itunes to your iphone. IF you have all the songs from iPod Nano to the computer, then just simply sync your iphone.
If you have 3rd party music, most likely, those won't transfer. You'll have to get a 3rd party app to get those music back. If you do, I strongly recommend getting MP3 Music Downloader Free (download unlimited music for free)

6th gen ipod nano works in docking station but not out of it

My ipod nanoworks in the docking station and connects to the PC but when i remove it from a power source the screen is blank. Any ideas?

So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or Mac, a docking station, or when connected to a wall charger? If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less. Here is Apple's pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/

Ipod nano 7th generation/docking station

I recently purchased a sony radio/docking station. I have noticed my ipod never completley turns off while it is in the docking station. Even when the docking station is turned off, the ipod stays in a sleep mode. Long term is this something that could hurt my ipod? I have read that the battery stops charging when the battery gets full, so I am not too worried about that. Should I be concerned about my ipod staying on all the time?

The docking station has a Lightnining connector? If yes be sure you are pressing the Nano all the way in.

Ipod nano use in dock

i have a new nano and find it will not work (charge) in a dock i had for my old ipod. I dont mind buying another dock as this one is old and battered but how do i know if the new one charges my new nano or do all new ones do so. Thanks for info.

I have the same problem with an Edifier if 200 i bought for my daughter this month for her birthday, after talking to the distributer i received this reply
Unfortunately the IF-200 is not compatible with the 4th Gen Nano, when Apple released this iPod they decided to change the way the iPods are now charged, all manufacturers now have to re-design there speakers to conform with this and the speaker you have was manufactured before this change took place....I have found that my daughters Nano 4 G will charge in the Bose Sounddeck that i have..so any of the newer models should work but if possible check instore with a store display model

Can't sync iPad (iPod, iPod Nano, or iPhone) Windows 7 64 bit

I have been trying to solve this issue for months and now that I have my new iPad I would really like to get this figured out.
I have a new Dell running Window7 64 bit. Almost 100% of the time I can't sync any of my devices. They time out, or appear to be syncing but are not.
I have tried updating drivers, deleting and reinstalling iTunes, de-authorizing and re-authorizing accounts...basically everything I can think of.
The thing is, all of these devices will sync fine on my Macbook, and my 5 year old Dell running Windows XP.
Anyone have any ideas? I can provide more details if needed.

Why does my iPod Nano no longer work with JVC TH-BC3 dock?

I have a JVC TH-BC3 soundbar with a built-in iPod/iPhone dock. My iPod now displays a "non-compatible" message on the screen when I when docked in the TH-BC3. What is the problem?

I sent the question to JVC's support desk and they sent the following reply -
Thank you for contacting JVC Customer Care. My name is Veronica, your email care specialist. We value you as a JVC customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your JVC TH-BC3 recognizing your iPod Nano. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. What generation is your iPod Nano? By any chance have you recently updated the iOS? If so, it may just require a soft reset. Simply press and hold the Menu and Home button until the Apple logo appears. This will not erase any information on your iPod/iPhone, simply reboot the software. Please make sure the iPod/iPhone is not connected to the unit while performing the soft reset.
I performed the soft reset and tried my iPod Nano in the dock and it now works!

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.
