IPod nano reboot on bad track?

I have a reproducible problem with a particular AAC track synced on to my nano. After a couple of seconds of music playing, the nano reboots. The track plays fine in iTunes 6.02 on my Mac, where it was also ripped/encoded. I don't know what might be "bad" about the track other than the fact that the nano apparently dislikes it.
Kind of impressed that a data stream can apparently take down the device ; not very good coding there, boys.
I've got the 1.1 firmware on the nano.
Is there anywhere official that bugs can be reported on the iPod, I could make the track as I have it available for testing purposes.

IPod Nano 7th Generation - Bad out of the box?

I just purchased the iPod Nano 7th generation today and came home to sync it with iTunes. iTunes recognizes the device for a second then I receive a "Disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off." message. I can see the iPod in iTunes for a second then it disappears. As I keep it plugged in it will recognize, disappear, reapear then disappear again.
I purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation today and that is working just fine (as well as synching my other iDevices). Is this nano bad out of the box?

Same thing happened to me. It did download the playlists I wanted, but the next time I plugged it in it acted as though it was being plugged in for the very first time, (regsitration and set up etc.)
But the really bad news is the BATTERY LIFE. maybe get one hour of play time before it drains to zero.
Anyone else have this issue?

Ipod Nano Reboots my P.C

I bought an ipod nano, and installed the software it came with. now when i connect the ipod to my pc, seconds to mins later it reboots automatically. How can i fix this?

are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

4G Ipod Nano reboots everytime I do 2nd Sync

Each time I do a 2nd Sync to my Nano without first ejecting it, unplugging and replugging into the GSB port the Ipod reboots. Is this suppose to happen or it this a symptom of something lurking in the corner waiting to make my life crazy?

Hello Link8Zelda,
You may need to download the movie in SD rather than HD in order to transfer it to your iPod Nano.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.2
Cheers,
Allen

Does the Ipod nano 4th gen keep track of playcounts?

I am not talking about how many times you play a song on the computer on itunes. but does the ipod itself keep track how many times you play a song on the ipod? where can i find this information?

I did that, and it is completely the same. Here is pictures of it
this right here is my top 25 for my ipod....
http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7069/top25onipodqg6.png
what you see right here is teh same exact playcounts that is seen on my computer's top 25 when no ipod is connected. there are some wierd differences though, for example flashing lights on my ipod is played only like 5 times or something, whereas on the computer its number 3 played with 375 times played. also pepita(the song on the bottom of the list), is on my top 25 on my computer, but i have not played it yet on my ipod, and the ipod's top 25 accurately shows this. so basically the ipod's top 25 accurately tells teh playcounts for flashing lights and pepita, but not for the rest.
can anyone make any sense of this? how do i find the playcounts for solely my ipod?

HT1632 Ipod Nano Nike Plus Workout Tracking

I do not remember creating an account on Nike Plus to track my workouts. I just realized that my ipod can be used as a pedometer, and have completed 3 workouts. The itunes library apparently sent the workout data to nikeplus.com, but I do not know how to retrieve it. Any ideas? Thanks!

7th gen iPod Nano bad flutter on podcasts

My 7th gen iPod Nano periodically suffers bad flutter on playback of podcasts, with the voices and music sounding rough and choppy, in the same manner as on a really bad turntable back in the days of LPs. When it happens, I perform a reset, reload everything, and it'll be alright for a week or three until the problem happens again. I'm getting a bit tired of having to perform resets and reloads. Any suggestions on how to avoid the problem?
I also have an older iPod classic, and I have never experienced the same problem on it, though I also put the same podcasts on it through the same copy of iTunes, so the problem would appear to be the iPod Nano itself.

Hello NikPayne,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have isolated the Podcast playback issue to your iPod nano. As frustrating as playback issues can be, there are some good troubleshooting steps I would recommend. Please use the attached article for information on troubleshooting your iPod nano. Please let me know if the issue continues after you have worked through the steps. Also, if the issue continues, does this happen with only Podcasts or with Music or other audio playback as well?

Does the ipod nano save the position in a track when you turn it off?

Hello friends,
I listen to a lot of Dhamma talks that tend to be 30 minutes to an hour long. I am considering getting an ipod nano. The reason is that my current mp3 player, an old sony walkman, will forget the position of the track I am listening to if I turn it off and come back to it in a few days. Will the ipod nano save the position of where I am, even if i turn it off and come back to it a week later? Also, which generations have this feature and which do not?
EDIT:
Reading a few posts, it seems that the new ipod nanos will forget the track, just like my walkman. Which of the old generation ipod classics and nanos have this feature?
Thank you.
May you fare well,
James

If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

Switching from an ipod to an ipod nano and moving itunes

The hard drive of my ipod recently died and I'm considering replacing it with an ipod nano and changing the computer on which my itunes resides. I have 3 questions:
1. Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?
2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?
3. In moving the itunes to a new computer, will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)?

"Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?"
You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your iPod Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your Nano (around 1800 MB for a 4G). Or of course you can choose to "manually manage songs and playlists".
"2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?"
Network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. I moved and iTunes folder recently between two Macs and for it quite strightforward. However as I don't use a PC here's a link that may help you out for moving on Windows.:
New PC & moving iTunes library
"will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)'
It won't make a difference in the move but you'll have to authorise the new PC to play the purchased ones. Don't forget by the way to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up one of your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen. While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.
