Ipod Nano volume question

Hi,
I use my nano as a music source on my motorcycle connected to an Autocom intercom. I have found it to be the best think yet for non skip music.
As I normally wear ear plugs I have always had a problem getting enough volume from other sources. However, with the nano I realise that you can import from itunes with a volume level adjustable up to +100%. I have found that at this import level I only need the volume turned up to about 80% on the nano when on the bike. However, even with AAC tracks I can hear some minor sound distortion.
My question is would I benefit copying from itunes to the nano at, say +75%, and then have to use more volume on the nano or remain with +100% and use less volume on the nano?
Or another way of asking is will I get better quality from increasing the volume from an import from itunes at a lower volume or increasing the volume on the nano to max?
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks,
Mark

I encountered this problem about a week into using it. I restored my iPod to fix the problem.
Everything was fine for me for about a week, but then at the start of one run, the Nike+ voice tried to say two sentences to me at the same time. I think it was the "Walk around to activate your sensor..." and whatever instruction happens next at the same time. From this point on, all of my songs and Podcasts were less than half the original volume, but the Nike+ voice was full volume. This basically ruined the rest of my workout.
I suggest trying to reset your iPod to see if this fixes the problem, and if not, then do a restore to your iPod.
The only bad thing about doing a restore is then your iPod loses all of its workout history, so from that point on your history is only on the Nike+ web site. Too bad iTunes doesn't transfer the workout history back to the iPod...
Good luck,

My 6th generation ipod nano volume adjusts itself and turns down volume without me touching it. This is the second ipod on which this has happened. I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!

My ipod nano 6th generation has started changing the volume while music is playing. It doesn't matter whether I am running or sitting. It will turn volume down to zero in the middle of a song. This happened on my last ipod a few months ago and I returned it and got a new one. This is my second grey one. I don't want to have to return it again, but I might.

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............

IPod Nano - volume not working

My 3rd generation Ipod Nano's volume stopped working after a software update. I have tried the 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore
1. I checked the head-phones
2. I tried resetting my iPod.
3. I removed and reinstalled itunes to my computer.
4. I finally restored my Ipod Nano to it's original settings and the volume still does not work.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

Ipod Nano Volume level

Hi, I have got an Ipod Nano 2nd Generation and use earphone that sit on your ears not in ears as I find them uncomfortable. The only problem with this is that I find that the volume is not very loud, I have it on the maximum, I know there is a volume limit set on all mp3 players but does anyone know if there is any way of making it louder?

At this point, the software people with iPods purchased in EU countries were using to remove the cap do not work on the 2nd gen nano. No word on when it will. So other than maxing your volume limiter and trying more expensive earphones there really isn't anything you can do right now.

Ipod nano volume control

I have an ipod nano, and I was messing with my ipod in my pocket and somehow locked my volume control so it will only go up so loud. I've tried going under "Volume lock" in the "Settings" area, but its asking for a combination and I don't know what it is, any suggestions how to take the lock off or find out what my combination is? Thanks! You can also email me with an answer, [email protected]

My ipod nano volume limit?!

Well, my ipod nano second generation has very low volume. Even set to full under settings and normal, its not even as loud as my old mp3 player.
But my mates ipod is very loud when he turns it up, is there a reason why mine dosn't play sounds loud?
Its english;
I checked the headphones on his and there is no problem with those.

My iPod nano was bought from US and it was loud enough when needed but after the latest software update, the volume levels went down. So, I guess I got the EU package and that explains the change.

Ipod nano volume limit locked

Hi
I think the kids have set a combination code on the volume limit of my iPod Nano. Can I get it off and how? If I have to do some kind of reset can I re-sync my playlists from my iTunes library? Have over 1000 songs on and would hate to have to import/purchase again.
All help gratefully received.
Thanx.

Restore your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Simple Ipod Nano Music Question

Ok on my nano I have probably 20 cd's loaded on there and they are all nicely organized in the "Albums" Folder on the Ipod.
My question is I have a CD that my brother made for me with all different songs on it and different music groups.
I want to put it on the Nano, How would I do this because I do not want these songs appearing in the "Album" section of the Nano, because these are obvilusly not full albums by one Artist.
Any suggestions or help?

Being its a "Personally created" CD it should show up blank in iTunes. Everything will be blank except the "Name" field, there you will see "Track 1" "Track 2" "Track23" ect ect.
You will have to manually type in the name of each track before importing it

6th gen iPod Nano volume keeps going down on its own

It's been getting worse lately. It started happening towards the end of each of my run, but now even when I leave it on my desk, I can see the volume just move down on its own to zero. It is very unreliable and during long runs, I have to keep battling with the volume (it goes down on its own, and I have to bring it back up again). Shutting the iPod Nano off and turning it back on doesnt help.
Anyone else encounters this? What should I do? My iPod Nano is about 1 year old.

This issue is usually the result of the Nano coming into contact with moisture (likely from your workouts). Try putting the iPod into an uncooked bag of dried rice and leaving it sit for a few days. This should absorb any moisture in the iPod.
After the few days are up, give it another whirl. If the problem persists, connect the Nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
Otherwise, the damage may be permanent, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.

IPod nano 1G questions,

Hello!
While tidying my bedroom I've come across one of my family members old iPod nano 1G, after asking why it was in my room I remembered that when he had it the iPod overheated and the Display cracked. He never used it after this as he didn't know what was wrong. Now when plugging it in there is a low pitched buzzing noise and it doesn't work...
Would I be able to send the iPod to Apple under the Recall as it overheated and broke a while ago. I just thought I would ask here before sending it.
Thankyou,
Jack :)

Yes, it qualifies.

The amount of songs you can fit on any iPod will be determined by how they are encoded.
Apples estimates for song quantity are based on tracks being 128kbps AAC files of about 4 minutes each.
Using that estimate, a 2GB Nano will hold about 500 tracks, and a 4GB Nano will hold about 1000 tracks.
If your tracks are encoded at a higher bitrate, use a lossless encoding method, or are generally longer than 4 minutes each... you won't fit quite as many tracks as Apples estimate.

ITunes Match and iPod Nano Syncing Question

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. My son and husband still have iPod Nanos. How do you sync the nano with the iTunes match?

I subscribed to Match because the USB ports in the laptop where my iTunes playlists resides are toast - do not work. I could not sync my iPod to it. So I thought if I subscribed to Match, I would be able to access my playlists with my other laptop. I have iTunes installed on my other laptop and the USB ports work! I also authorized my other laptop for the account.
So I thought "great - I'll access my original playlists with my second laptop and connect my iPod Nano and sync it to the second laptop and it will load my playlists on my Nano".
Nope - I get nothing. I have it set up to sync automatically - didn't work. I tried to sync manually - it acts like it's syncing, tells me it's done and there is nothing on my Nano. Help?!
