Ipod nano & video ipod

I have a nano and a 30gb video. Can i use both ipods on the same computer were I can put the same songs on both ipods? If so, How. My nano will not download songs from my laptop. My 30 gb will. I have never set up my nano on the laptop as a user...how do i do that?

When you are adding a second iPod for your own use, it's usually just a matter of connecting it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. Are you getting any error messages, is it showing up in iTunes and your computer?

  • Ipod nano video firmware

    I think the current v1.0.2 firmware is in need of an update, as this has caused me no end of problems with my ipod nano video, causing it to shutdown on it's own and then require switch to disk mode, to restore. Trouble is, each time I get it back to v1.0.1 firmware, as soon as it's connected to iTunes, it recognises v1.0.2 is available and prompts me to install (whether I have auto update checked or not).
    With v1.0.2 I also have a problem after I've added songs as the ipod just switches to a black screen with the apple logo and it can't be used. Not much use for a player bought as a present for someone.
    So c'mon Apple, do the decent thing and provide a firmware update to fix this problem, as it seems I'm far from being the only one having problems going by the forums here.

    Send your feedback to Apple via the appropriate link.

    Also, when discussing the nano 3rd gen, it's always best to use the correct forum.

  • MAJOR PROBLEM ABOUT VIDEOS IN IPOD NANO VIDEOS!

    i neeeed help !
    i added mpegs videos to iTunes Library but when i tried updating my iPod nano video , it wouldnt and it says it has to be converted so the videocan be used for the iPod and i did but when i played the videos on the iPod nano Video there was no sound .
    HOW IN TTHE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?
    anyone has answers for me pls. ?

    There is no such thing as a nano video.
    There is a fifth-generation, full sized iPod capable of video, but there is no nano capable of video playback.
    What ipod do you have? The fact that you say it does play video indicates that it's a fifth-gen. If that's the case, what version firmware are you running? Go to SETTINGS > ABOUT to find out.
    Cheers!

  • IPod Nano Video & iChat A/V

    This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know if you can use an iPod Nano Video as a web cam for your iChat? I have not found any documentation on this but it would make sense if you could.

    Doubt it very much.

  • Whats better the ipod nano or Ipod video??

    What are your views on the ipod nano and ipod video??

    I'm horrified that Apple have released a video iPod and stuck a tiny 4:3 ratio screen on it. I know that 16:9 widescreen has only just appeared in the good old US of A, but as one of the countries at the forefront of Hi-Def TV (which has 16;9 widescreen images as standard) I am quite bemused - what are you going to watch; black and white re-runs of 'I love Lucy' - again. Or perhaps just even smaller letterboxed films, (special 1 inch high presentation of Star Wars Episode 3 ?) TV shows and pop promos? ( most of which are now shot 16:9 widescreen especially if they are sourced HD)
    I hate to say this but buy yourself a nano for your music (Apple's music players still beat every other one out there) and get a PSP for watching films/videos !
    Let the torrent of abuse begin....

  • Using an iPod Nano and iPod Mini with one PC

    I have an iPod Mini which I bought last year and I'm thinking of buying a Nano for my wife. I only have one Laptop PC. Can I use both iPods with one Laptop and update both from the already installed iTunes ? I don't want to create a second PC user ID/account. Will I have to load the iPod Nano s/w onto my Laptop and will this affect my Mini s/w or is it totally separate ? Are there any problems with using to different iPods on a single PC ?
    Regards
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    There is only one iPod updater (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/):
    iPod Updater 2006-01-10 includes iPod Software 1.1 for the new iPod, new iPod Software 1.1 for iPod nano, new iPod Software 1.2.1 for iPod with color display, new iPod Software 1.4.1 for iPod mini, and new iPod Software 3.1.1 for iPod with Click Wheel. iPod Updater 2006-01-10 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-11-17 for all other iPod models.
    It recognises which iPod is plugged in when you attach it for update.
    Regards,

  • IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

    I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
    But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
    Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

    You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.

  • Itunes won't transfer short film to ipod nano (video)

    Hope you can help me. I've got a new 8gb ipod nano and am using latest itunes for Windows. Vista is operating system.
    I bought a short film through itunes (one of the Pixar movies). However, when I sync my ipod, it WILL NOT transfer the film to my ipod.
    I notice in itunes the film was only listed in "Purchased", so I added it to Movies but no joy. When syncing, my music video will be transferred, as will my songs, but my one short film just sits in itunes and never goes anywhere. What am I not doing?

    Sorted it. Itunes default setting is not to sync any movies with the ipod. Changed this setting and all OK.

  • Ipod nano video and radio????

    hi, i have a ipod radio and i was wondering if you can putt a movie on it and watch it or can you putt radio stations from itunes on youre ipod?

    Video is only for the iPod with video, not the nano. Radio stations from iTunes require an internet connection, so no iPod can play them. You can buy an FM tuner that attaches to your iPod and lets you play regular radio stations though.

  • Ipod Nano Video - Charging or not? Who knows?

    Okay, since Apple can't wrap their heads around the idea that some of us don't want video (and don't want to PAY for it) but would still like an MP3 player with a decent storage capacity, I finally broke down and bought a Nano video.
    Got it home, plugged it in, and the thing won't charge. Battery icon remained red even after being plugged into my mac all night. Screen says "connected,"
    but there is ZERO indication of charging.
    Took it back, exchanged it for another one, same deal. Changed connector cables, same deal. When plugged in initially the battery icon shows a lightening bolt, and then that goes away to leave an empty battery icon with a red sliver (traditionally means "low battery.")
    Any ideas, anyone?
    ~D.

    So the Classic line doesn't meet your needs as well? Per gigabyte it is cheaper than a Nano and has lots more storage.
    So anyway, perhaps it is your computer, since that is still the common component to both iPods. If you go back to the Apple store (or take it to work or a friend's house) see if it charges on another computer besides yours.

  • Ipod Nano video recorder and Windows?

    Hello all, just want to say I LOVE my new Ipod (haven't had one since the first gen nano)
    I was just curious, what would be the best way to open the videos in say Sony Vegas or Windows Movie maker? I tried a converter last night and the video was horribly compressed/muddy looking. Are there specific codecs I need to use?
    I'm running Vista, but I also have an old iMac G3 (with an orange case) which is too slow to edit video. Any help would be great

    I have a new ipod nano and can not download iTunes to Winnows Vista.
    Need all the help that i can get. Thanks,
