would that be possible since color screen u can put MPEG movies on it, maybe the updater or software?

There is ppl that make other os for ipods that aloow video, but so far none for the nano, but it is in development, but never by apple they will just milk this player then when sales drop for ipods release a ipod movie or something.

Future iPod Nano's & Video's

Okay. I'v been thinking for a while. Nano's & Video's, what exactly are they built out of? I know this is beyond any topic on the discussion board but it has come to my attention that. If Nano's are allowed to store pictures and iPod Video's are allowed to store Video's and Picture's then what is it that's taking Apple so long to figure this out.. I don't know if this is possible, but since Nano's can store picture's and iPod video's are allowed to store Video's and Picture's why can't they just build a intergrated Camera on the nano & a Intergrated Video Cam. and a Camera for the iPod video. I know it's a tough question but it is a smart idea. First off, if your thinking it's useless because of the following reason
- Camera Phone
- Video Camera/Camera Phone
Then I'll prove you wrong. Phone's are made for calling, local and long distance. Sure those "new" phones can store music such as the Motorola ROKR or the SLVR, but seriously I have one word for technology. It's great that you have music on your phone but please. stick to the basic. Music with music, Number's with numbers. I bet you're thinking, purchasing an iPod Nano with a Camera is useless or an iPod Video with a Video Camera & a Camera is useless, but wanna know something? If you have the desire to listen to music more often then using your phone I highly Suggest you purcahse a Nano or a Video Intergrated with the following "yeah you know" but if you prefer to talk all day go buy a phone. Point proven any arguments?

I know this is beyond any topic on the discussion board
Then why bring it up,especially since you agreed NOT to discuss it (in the Terms of Service)?
Point proven any arguments?
No, you won, hands down...
Have you posted to Apple, where it will at least get looked at by the concerned parties?

IPod Nano playing Videos?

I know about iPod Linux...that's a risk I wn't take. Is it possible apple could release and iPod updater allowing the Nano to play videos? I'm getting a Nano for my birthday and i'm learing everything I can.

Apple, in my opinion, will probably release something similar to the mini, but the odds of FUTURE nanos playing video isn't bad, as many others have small video players; But I don't think iPod updater will ever let the current gen nano play videos.

Ipod nano and video downloads?

I was just wondering if I could still download and listen to a video on my ipod nano. I really want to put Jojo's "Too little, too late" on my nano so i can listen to it, i dont care if i see it, since the song won't be available until october for an audio download. Is this possible to do or will it screw up my nano too badly?

Don't know for sure, but I don't think the iPod will be damaged. I think all that'll happen is that either you won't get the file onto the iPod (unless you you it in diskmode), but in no way will you be able to listen to the song. It's in a format the Nano won't recognize.

My new ipod nano plays videos but there is no sound, why?

My new iPod nano that plays videos has no sound going along with them. It's not a problem with the iPod, (I don't think) because the sound won't play on iTunes either, yet my music in playing just fine both on my ipod nano and in itunes. I dragged and dropped the video into itunes then I converted the video then used the convert selection for ipod. Why is there no sound? Is there something I am doing wrong? My 30gb ipod did worked just fine when I did it that way but my new ipod nano won't. Is there something else I have to do before I can watch and listen to videos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

4 GB IPod Nano & podcast videos?

I bought this Nano in December 2005 and I recently have been trying to put podcast videos on it. I am able to tranfer music podcasts to it but it will not upload the music videos from the podcasts.Is this device able to accept podcast videos or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jackie22,
If your iPod nano is truly a first generation iPod nano, then no, it does not support videos.

The iPod Nano's video limitation is harshing my groove

It's a well established fact that iPod nano doesn't play videos. Fine. However, there are songs on iTunes that come in video format only. Examples the non-live version of "Dakota" by Stereophonics, "You Were The Last High" by the Dandy Warhols. I bought the video versions for both of these because I really like the songs. And I wound up paying 2x the price for these, though I could care less about the video.
Apple needs a solution for playing the audio content of video files on non video iPods. I don't care if it means extracting the audio only for now. I want to be able to play the music I payed for on my iPod.

It probably would not be in Apple's best interest
(from a business/legal standpoint) to make it a
straight forward process (such as a click in iTunes)
to exctract only the adio.
I guess I hadn't thought through the legal rammifications but what I'm asking for seems straight forward (at least to me). Apple is in full control of the iTunes/iPod interface. When you attempt to drag a video to the iPod nano, they could prompt you with a dialog that asks if you want the audio only, and then just download that. They wouldn't have to make the audio content available as a separate file that could be copied illegally.
The other point I hope to make is that I truly beleive this feature would make the iPod nano a better and more versatile product. I thought part of reason for this forum was to suggest improvements, but if this is just a support forum, I may be a little out of line. Oh well

Can 6th gen Ipod Nano play video on Precor Treadmill?

Many gyms offer Apple connectors on their machines like treadmills and elipticals. I've connected my IPad and watched video, but it's impractical on a treadmill, both due to size and too much vibration.
So, I'm considering the purchase of an Ipod Nano. I know that the 6th gen device lacks video support, but can you load video files onto the device via ITunes and then play the videos on the machines at the gym?
Our gym has two main models of treadmills:
Precor 885, and
Matrix 7XE, which also has Nike+ support for Ipods.
Please let me know which Ipod Nano is best for my needs.

The 5th Generation can do video, or the iPod Touch or iPod Classic. The 6th Generation Nano won't work for your needs.

Connecting iPod Nano 8GB video model to Windows 2k problems

Hello!
I hope someone can help, I had a MacBook that died and now I need to move our 4 iPods to the windows 2k environment. When you plug in the iPod it says that it needs to be converted to Windows, not problem, I click "OK" then iTunes starts and gives me the following message:
The iPod "IPOD2" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later.
Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K? Any help could be appreciated.
I have the latest version for W2K, and I have 1 Nano that has syncd fine. Anyone have any ideas, I have searched and tried all the tech docs I could find to no avail. The iPod is visible in "My Computer" but when you click on it it asks if I want to format it, worried about doing that. Can't find any instructions on resetting the iPod back to factory/out of the box WITHOUT ITUNES! that may help!
Thanks,
John

Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K?
I'm afraid not. The last version of iTunes for Windows compatible with Windows 2000 was 7.3.2:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes732forwindows2000.html
... and the third generation (video) nanos require at least iTunes 7.4.x (and 7.6 is currently recommended).

IPOD nano and video troubles

I am about to scream : )
I bought my wife an new 4g nano for her birthday. I spent about 5 hours loading music into iTunes. Hooked up the nano and it worked just fine. I then recieved my 30g video ipod 2 days ago. Both worked just fine and I loaded the same music (library) onto both (10-12-05 install). I wanted to then load some video clips for work and found out about the new H.264 codec and reluctantly upgraded quicktime to pro so that I could convert my .mov files to ipod .mov files. After attempting to upoload the video is basically when my grief started. I have spent over 12 hours installing, uninstalling, rebooting, deleting registry settings, setting processes to auto....pretty much anything found in these forums. So basically i had them both working and now the 30g shows up as a disk, but is not recognized in iTunes. The pod just seems to freeze and I can't even resotre it to factory since the updater/restore freezes!! I even downloaded the new software on my laptop to try a restore on a different system to no avail. As a last check, after all the re-installations etc, my wifes nano still connects and shows up fine in itunes and i can add or dlete files. Anyone know why this situation could be causing a problem. Yes, I even tried to assigne a different drive letter. What should I do..return it? BTW, I can still turn it on and the original music I uploaded is there and still works.

I found my issue (after 18 straight hours of trying everything found on the boards here) by comparing my 4g nano and my 30g video ipod when they were both connected at the same time. The nano has never had a problem and works great. The 30g has all kinds of problems..worked great for a few days, then i upgraded to quicktime pro and tryed to upload a video and thinngs went south from there. Briefly, with both hooked up and itunes no longer recognizing the 30g (but windows showing it as a recognized device) I compared them by using the "manage" selection (right click my computer) and then going to Disk management. By comparing the 2 ipods, the nano showed it had a 4G FAT32 format where as the 30g showed it was not formated at all! I opted to wipe it and use a quick FAT32 format. Previously I could not even restore the factory settings with the ipod update utility because it would simply freeze. At this point the utility did not freeze and it allowed me to restore. The first time I did this, itunes recognized my ipod and I figured to test it by loading a small video file. Windows gave me some kind of cryptic error about a "read/write failure and all data being lost" and after this occured the ipod would not be recognized by itunes. Back to disk management and it showed that the 30g table was once again unformatted. I have no idea how this would occur without me selecting to wipe the drive somehow. I repeated all the above steps again (formatted) and at this point have uploaded about 2G of music and 1 movie and have not had any further issues. Something is apparently very wrong and although it is working at the moment, I don't have a ton of confidence in this product at the moment. It took about 18 hours of messing with it and alot of frustration. I really like this thing when it works, but this is ridiculous. Does apple even bother to test this stuff on a PC!! Anyway, hope that helps some of you. Judging from the number of issues here (all sounding the same) hopefully it can be determnined what exactly is causing these issues.

Home video on ipod nano will not download to itunes

I took several home videos on my ipod nano under "video camera" and when I try to sync to itunes, they are not showing up. I have an older ipod nano ((the tall one, not the newer version.)) Any suggestions to get these videos downloaded to my computer??? I have a project for school and need them desperately....
Thanks!!!!!

Hello Ben
My suggestion would be to try and put the iPod Nano into Disk Mode and then go forward with the restoring the iPod Nano. This should make the iPod Nano be recognized in iTunes.

IPod Nano white screen (frozen)

I have an iPod Nano (3rd Gen), and a few days ago, on turning it on, the screen was white (no Apple logo, or info). I have tried resetting AND just restored it. It shows up ok in iTunes, and I can even add music to it but the screen is still white / blank!
What's the fix for this? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan

What happened to me was that I put my ipod nano the video one on recharged and when it finished i took it out and it still had the screen saying connected and eject before disconnecting. What do I do to get rid of that and get my Ipod working back to normal?

Has the Nike+ sync with iPod Nano 5th gen been fixed?

Some months ago I had problems syncronising my pedometer walks from my iPod Nano 5th generation to the Nike+ website via iTunes. I then had read that many people were having the same problems. It would seem like if it had syncronised, but then you would see '0' on your fuel. It had been said that the problem would be fixed by late Autumn/Fall. Has this been fixed?
Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

From http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36812/p/3169,3171
"At this time, pedometer workouts cannot be uploaded to nikeplus.com through iTunes. Depending on your specific configuration (iPod nano generation, iTunes version, etc.), you may receive either an error message or no response if you attempt to upload pedometer data.
The Nike+ team may create an upload option for iPod nano pedometer users in the future. We appreciate your patience as we work to implement this option, and we encourage you to keep tracking your steps in the meantime."
