Ipod touch or nano?

i really like the new nano, but i want the internet too. is it worth getting an ipod touch over a nano? if the wifi reliable enough to spend the extra money?

I think that depends on your preference, I link Games, Apps, and Podcast and love wifi for email and browsing!! I don't listen to music that often so i just have less than 1gb on music.. and every where i go someone has wifi.
wifi is 100% reliable when available!!!

Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

Apple Remote with iPod Touch or Nano

My father has an iPod Nano right now and is going to be getting an iPod Touch in the next few months.
So, one of the items we got him was the Apple Remote (aluminum with black buttons)
I CAN NOT get it to work.
Does it work with the Nano??? If not, does it work (should it work) with an iPod touch?
I wanted him to use it with his in-wall ipod dock (connected to in wall speakers.
Please help! I feel like I gave a crappy fathers day gift :P

Ipod touch and nano not recognised with itunes

Hi
I updated my itunes yesterday. I have a new shuffle (4th gen I think) but 4th gen nano and 2nd gen touch. Itunes recognises my shuffle no problem and I was able to sync ok, but it won't recognise the touch or nano, I tried 2 different usb cables but still won't recognise, is it something to do with older gen models not working with the new itunes??? I have a fairly new computer running off new windows package. Itunes was recognising all my ipods until I installed the new itunes. Any help gratefully received.
Thanks.

It sounds to me like an issue with your iTunes, try un-installing the software and re-installing it and see what happens then. It seems a little odd that it won't recognise 2 iPods, so I highly doubt it is the iPods' fault.
If it deosn't work after re-installing, take it to the Apple Store (with your computer, if it is portable) and they should be able to help out

IPod Touch and Nano

I am interested in buying the Ipod Touch. I currently own the previous version of the Nano and would like to still use that model in my car. Will I have any problems transferring songs from my music library to two different Ipods??

No, the music will transfer just fine

Ipod touch no longer working in car?

Hi there,
Both my ipod touch and nano are no longer working in the car. We have a USB port etc and have not had any issues until now. We just plugged it in, pressed CD/AUX and that was it. Now it just says "Unsupported" on the screen. Any ideas?

snoakes wrote:
That's likely it but I don't understand what that means.
It means that either:
(a) Your stereo never did fully comply with Apple's communication protocol. The only reason it worked before was because Apple previously did not use something in the defined protocol until now. Now that they are, your stereo no longer communicates with the iPod. Apple is still complying with their protocol, but your stereo can no longer capitalize in a prior limitation in the iPod OS.
OR
(b) Apple either did not define the protocol completely (or accurately), or they muffed the code that would ensure compliance to their own defined protocol.
snoakes wrote:
Will it ever work again? Any way around this. Seems kinda dumb to update something and then suddenly it no longer works with the stuff I have (ie a car!!)
You can see if there is a firmware update for your stereo, or you can wait and hope for a change in the iPod OS someday that will restore functionality. You might also be able to step down a revision in your iPod OS.
In any case, you can report your problem here:

How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is? How can I fix this?

My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is? How can I fix this?

     My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore. Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either. When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
     "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
     I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference. It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago. My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows. I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it. Didn't make any difference. Any ideas?

IPod touch 4th gen wont show up in iTunes, but my old iPod nano does.

So I've looked up this issue on multiple forums and here, but it seems like everyone is having a simmilar issue, but not the same. I've gone through just about everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369 and I've tried all the trouble shooting and everything. I thought that maybe it was an issue with my cheap USB but I recently purchased an apple brand one and it still doesn't work. My iPod doesn't even show up as an iPod in the connected devices on my computer, but it shows up as a camera or something. I have a Toshiba Leading Innovation laptop with Windows 8, and a 4th generation iPod touch. My older iPod nano connects to iTunes just fine. I'm thinking it's an issue with my iPod touch but I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. Can anyone help?

The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My ipod won't show up on my computer. I have another ipod touch, that works fine. What should I do? Do I need a different ipo usb cord for the nano?

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...

I used to download music from Itunes to an Ipod nano. How can I get my music on my new Ipod Touch???

I used to download music from Itunes from my computer to my ipod nano. How can i download this music to my new ipod touch??

The same way.

I just bought an Ipod Nano for my husband from a friend. We cannot figure how to add songs. I have an Ipod Touch and everything I pull up on Itunes is dealing with mine...I can't do anything with his Nano. What are we doing wrong?

I purchased an Ipod Nano from someone yesterday. How do I register it in my name and unregister the previous owner. I have a 4th gen Ipod touch and was told I could add songs from my library to the nano but we can't seem to do anything with it. HELP please!!

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

Ipod touch or nano?
