IPod nano no longer works correctly

I have an iPod nano and I have only just purchased it less than a month ago. Whenever it is laying somewhere not plugged in to the computer it will be a blank screen. If I press menu it will come up with a note that reads "use iTunes to restore" and than it shuts off again. It will do the same thing if I press menu again. when I connect it to my computer it makes a beep that acknoledges that is connected but won't show up on the left where it should. While it is plugged in it will say do not disconnect... and it will not stop saying that! I have tried reseting it s instructed in the manual but that doesn't have any effect. I have also tried disk mode which I don't totally understand but I tried it non the less. Anyway my question basically is how do I fix this and how could I possibly restore it via iTunes if iTunes does not recognize its connection. Please if someone knows what the problem is please respond and help me out. Thanks in advance - Skidd711

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!

Hello Tomás Beauchamp,

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.

ITunes 10.1 - Shuffle function no longer works correctly

The shuffle function on playlists no longer works correctly since the most recent iTunes update.
It will periodically stop playing without playing the entire playlist. It is a real hassle and kills the mood as you have to go back to the Mac and click play again. Please fix this issue as it is a very basic function.

Thanks for letting us know, however, this is a user to user forum and not an "Apple Run" forum.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

IPod Touch no longer working with car Head Unit since update

Hi there, I have a problem with using my iPod Touch with my car's head unit.
I've been using my iPod Touch with the Alpine IDA X001 Head unit fitted in my car for the last 3 months without any problems, however I installed the latest software update for the Touch (v4.0) and now the head unit connects and then says no USB device. At first I thought it was the cable as the cable supplied with the head unit is pretty fragile, so I've replaced it with a new one but it still doesn't work.
I've tested with my iPod Nano and it works perfectly so its not a problem with the head unit or lead (I plugged the Touch in and it didn't work, plugged the Nano in and worked perfectly and then plugged the Touch in and didn't work).
Can anyone help or is it gonna be a case of Restoring the iPod Touch back to factory settings ????

I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. She uses this as her imessage texting. First it needed to be verified. Once I tried to verify it on appleid support, It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

When I did 7.1 update on iPhone five my reminders no longer works correctly it automatically erases the time and date that I requested

Can somebody tell me why my reminders no longer work correctly on 7.1 update on iPhone five every time I post a reminder it would delete the time and date of the reminder and my reminders do not go off.

Remove Office 2008 for Mac using Microsoft deinstall procedure. Reinstall Office 2008 for Mac. If there are updates, apply them. Using Disk Utility, verify/repair permissions on your boot drive.
Does Office for Mac 2008 now work correctly? If not, you may want to repeat the above first sentence, and then update to Office for Mac 2011, and apply the latest (14.4.8) update which has Yosemite fixes.

Filter list no longer works correctly in 4.6

I have been using the classic filter function for array collections since 4.0. With the recent 4.6 update my filter no longer works correctly.
Example of classic realtime filter:
http://experiments.mrinalwadhwa.com/FilterFunctions/srcview/index.html
While the filter works and updates the list just like it used to, the underlying arraycollection doesn't get updated.
For example:
Pretend I have the following AC
testData = new ArrayCollection([
                        {name:"Item 1", price:18},
                        {name:"Item 2", price:50},
                        {name:"Item 3", price:77},
                        {name:"Item 4", price:52},
                        {name:"Item 5", price:43},
                        {name:"Item 6", price:97},
                        {name:"Item 7", price:56},
                        {name:"Item 8", price:81},
                        {name:"Item 9", price:63},
                        {name:"Item 10", price:29},
                        {name:"Item 11", price:84},
                        {name:"Item 12", price:31},
                        {name:"Item 13", price:78},
                        {name:"Item 14", price:48},
                        {name:"Item 15", price:23},
1. I start typing 9 in a textbox to filter the list
2. list filters down to what I want
3. I click on the item in the list which fires off the IndexChangeEvent
4. changeHandler is called
protected function changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
       filterTxt.text = "";
       this.saveScrollPosition();
       var selfact:Object = event.currentTarget.selectedIndex;
     // This should yield 8, however because testdata current view only has one item in the list the event.newIndex is acutally 0 where it should be 8
     // So I would need a way to get to the "current view"
So its like there are two lists.
1. filteredlist (auto generated)
2. list with mydata before filter.
The IndexChangeEvent is giving me the selectedindex of the filtered list (item 0) but resolving item 0 with the unfiltered list and the data does not match up.
Now I can no longer get the correct name of the list after applying the fiilter.
Is this a bug that was introduced in Flex 4.6?

galleherjazz, a little research would tell you a lot. Palm sold the rights to Palm Desktop years ago to a company called "Access" from Japan. It was their responsibility to come up with a version of Palm Desktop that works with Vista. They produced one version, then updated it to 6.2.2 to fix some bugs. After that, they abandoned the project! Palm Inc. moved on to a wholly new operating system (webOS).
"Palm programmers" had nothing to do with the decisions made. Access' version came with no color categorization. Pleas for improvements and bug fixes have fallen on deaf ears.
Palm Inc. appears to have no interest in supporting Windows 7 with their legacy (read: discontinued) devices. Any hope for 64-bit USB compatibility appears to be gone.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.
