IPod Nano in Mini connector

Will the iPod Nano plug into a dock or other accessory originally built for the iPod Mini?

If the mini accessory plugs into the dock connector that you would use to sync to your computer, then yes. If it uses the headphone port and the data input port that is next to it on the mini, then no, because the nano does not have this port.

IPod nano and mini connectors

Are the nano and mini connectors interchangeable?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean to ask if the iPod nano and the iPod mini use the same type of connector? Then, yes, they do use the same type of connector.
However, there are a couple of differences between the two iPod models. For example, if you have a FireWire cable connected to your dock or an iPod cable with a FireWire connection, you will only be able to charge your iPod nano. The iPod nano requires a USB connection to sync songs or pictures.

IPod nano car stereo connectors

Does anyone know if any of the various third party car stereo connection kits are compatible with the iPod nano? They advertise that you can control iPods and iPod minis directly from the stereo controls, but they don't mention the nanos. Is the interface for controlling the nanos through the dock connector the same as that of the iPods and minis?

Can i use ipod nano and mini on same computer?

we have an ipod nano. works great. daughter is trying to use an ipod mini and we get a message that itunes cannot communicate with device and that we need to reinstall itunes. Is there a compatibility problem here? Can we use a nano and a mini on the same computer?
THANKS!

You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

IPod nano with mini cooper

I have the mini factory iPod connector installed in my mini. It works great with my iPod mini. I just purchased a nano. when I plug the nano into the car, it works fine, but when disconnecting the nano stays in the "mini" mode. The only way I have found to recover from this is to either reset the nano or plug it into my iMac. Has anyone seen this probelm and if so any resolutions?
Thanks.

Did the 6th gen. nano have any changes to the connection port??
No.
Try resetting the iPod before trying to connect it again to see if that makes any difference. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try another cable just to be sure.

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

Restoring 2nd Gen Ipod Nano?

hey guys, iv just had a real big problem with my ipod nano (2nd gen)...
well basically i was wanting to sync some more music from my itunes onto it and it just kept disconnecting itself for some stupid reason, and after several times it said something like my ipod wasnt readable, and i think i accidently put my ipod into factory mode and iv been attemting to try to restore it back to normal and iv tried everything but i cant seem to find anything that works. iv even tried putting it into disk mode but i dont know how that works, and every time i try to restore it it keeps coming up with this error code...and now i cant even load my music back on it now, im just wondering if anyone can help and knows how to restore an ipod nano like mine and knows how i can get it back to normal so i cant put my music back onto it?? Thankyouu

If iTunes is recognising your iPod you should have no errors when you go to restore it. Restoring your iPod will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

IPod Nano Disk Drive Size

I'd like to buy an iPod Nano or mini with speakers for everyday use and riding on a horse. What's the largest size hard drive available on the Nano? Also, how well will it work on my horse. What am I getting into here? He's being taught Classical Dressage to Music. Horse riding is the major reason I'm buying an iPod.

Maybe it's just that the black shows the scratches much more than the white of a standard iPod. I don't have one to compare - this is my first ever Apple purchase. Needless to say I am NOT impressed. It's a very elegant design, but a poor build.
I spent my lunchtime cruising around all the CD stores in town trying to find one that sold the special solution you can buy to hard-coat CD's so that they are scratch-resistant. (CD's are made of polycarbonate too.) Didn't find one yet, but I'll keep looking.

Have Ipon Nano and Mini, Mini is not recognized when pluged into USB.

I have a Ipod Nano and Mini. The Nano works correctly. But when I plug the Mini in I dont get anything, not even a battery charging icon. But, when I plug it into the USB on the back of the computer in stead of the front the computer just beeps.

Work your way through these.
The Five Rs.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
iPod does not appear in iTunes.
Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
Strange iPod behavior.
When restoring the iPod, put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Your profile shows you are using Windows ME. Is this correct?

IPod Nano is such a great product! Agree?

This is my first apple product purchase! Today is the 7th day I'm using iPod Nano 3rd gen. This is what appeared on my iPod Nano 5 mins ago and it is not playing anything!
Take a look!

I know the reason why your iPod Nano was doing that....YOUR PLAYING YANNI!! iPods only like good music!!
Kidding of course
I too had the same problem but as the previous poster wrote about resetting it, I did that and it has worked
great ever since.

7th generation nano & 2013 mini cooper connector

I have a ipod nano 7th generation and a custom 2013 mini cooper. Is there a connector that does double duty (connect to mini and charges at the same time)? After about 1.5 hours of playing my nano in my mini the battery on my nano died. Thanks.

For idiots like me, this is what you need to get back to charging:

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

ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music. Very disappointed!

Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option). I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano. I have to re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
What a big mistake.
Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

Had the same issue when I changed computers. I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now. There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.

I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it. MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs...
Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

1 iPod Nano 3rd generation and 2 user accounts on Mac Mini

My husband and I share our Mac Mini and we log in under separate user
names. He is the administrator for the computer. My problem started
when I initially purchased Phase and I could not upload it to my
iPod Nano 3rd generation. So in an effort to demonstrate the problem I had my husband log
in to the Mac Mini under his user name and then logged into the
iTunes store using my account information and bought Scrabble. He was
able to upload Phase to the iPod but then when I logged into my user
name on the Mac Mini and went to the iTunes store I could only see
Scrabble (not Phase) and in order to download it I was forced to sync
my Games on the iPod which overwrote the Phase game. So now I only
have Scrabble on my iPod and I can't see Phase in my iTunes account.
How do I remedy this?

Hello HernanOtt,
Depends on where you have it serviced. Here are Apple's repair quotes.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead. Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.
