IPod nano video update

My iPod nano (5th gen) will not allow me to play videos, i know i need an update but where do i find this update?
All help is really appreciated.

No problem. Have you tried reconverting them in iTunes using iTunes built in converter? To do this, highlight each video and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When they are finished, try resyncing the newly converted videos to see if that helps.
Other than that, I don't have to many other suggestions regarding this issue. Sorry.

  • 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 wont update firmware

    Hello,
    I have a dialup connection and although, I can download video content, and the new apple itunes 7.3, I have not been able to get my ipod nano to update the firmware version from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.
    I will either get kicked out during download, or get an error message related to verification of the file.
    Is there a separate way to download the file directly, or do I have to use itunes.
    thanks

    In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
    Not really.
    Actually it says,
    "iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    * Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    * Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
    You will get Restore Instruction 2.

    I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

  • 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.

  • I can't load songs onto my iPod nano after updating to the latest iTunes!

    It just won't let me drag and drop songs like I used to be able to and when I go into the other option it tries to syc the whole library and delete what I've already got on it and I don't want to do that.

    Hi thomas-paton,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the most recent iTunes update. If you are having issues dragging individual files to your iPod nano when connected in iTunes, you may want to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is selected, as outlined in the following article:
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

  • 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 wont update songs!!!

    Okay, when I plug my ipod nano into the USB port and my itunes pop up, the stage where my ipod would usually update itself is replaced with a popup window that says: Songs on "iPod Nano" cannot be updated because of all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    Yes, I have no playlists right now, for some reason in the past I deleted them all. But this problem has erased all the songs and things I have on my ipod and since it wont update my songs I cant seem to put them back in (this includes the burned ones and ones bought from the music store). I am totally confused on what to do, someone PLEASE help!!

    I am experiencing, for the first time, a VERY similar issue; except I have MANY playlists, and, up until now, I have been able to selectively manage them on my iPod (2Gb iPod, 60Gb of music). Now, all of a sudden, I get the error that is quoted above, although I have already restored iPod twice, reinstalled iTunes once, as well as selected manual sync, and they all "crap-out" about 1/3 of the way thru the synch-job. Never before have I had any similar problems with my product. Please help.

  • 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.
