Loading podcasts cause iPod Nano to continuously reboot

Here is the issue. I have a 2gb Nano. Occassionally when I load a podcast (e.g. Ricky Gervais) it causes my iPod to reboot when I attempt to look for music or surf for other items. I have two options, 1) remove the podcast and it seems to work okay but everytime I put a podcast back on the behavior returns or 2) restore the system and reload everything (including podcasts). This is only a temporary fix. After a week or so, the problem returns. There seems to be a bug in the system as it relates to podcasts.
Any thoughts? Please e-mail me at [email protected]

i tell you this! Do not download podcast. They can wreck ipods. I have read that many times...unless you find a solution...but i wont downlaod any!

    You can only transfer music and videos through iTunes. If computer/laptop music folders is what you mean of "existing library", then it would not be possible. Add your files first to iTunes then sync.

  • Can't transfer podcasts to iPod nano

    I've read several similar problems of being unable to transfer podcasts from iTunes to an iPod nano, but none of them seems to help. I've tried the 5 R's (reset, retry, restart, reinstall and restore) with no success. The latest versions of the iTunes and iPod software have been installed. I've tried all 3 options for transferring podcasts to the iPod (update all automatically, update selected automatically and update manually), and none of them work. The only problem I've noticed is that when I try to set it to manual update and press OK, I get an error message saying (I can't remember the exact words) that it can't be done because I don't have sufficient privileges, but I'm using the Administrator account and besides, the next time I look at Options the correct selection has been made - but the drag and drop method doesn't work in this mode. Is there anything I haven't tried? Is there something wrong with the iPod?

    It appears as if I've solved the problem, thanks to a reply to another post (sorry I haven't got time to try and find it). It involved going to the iTunes store and downloading the free download (song) of the week. Unfortunately, it also involved giving my credit card number, which I don't like to do. Anyway, after downloading this song my iPod appeared to have all of the podcasts which were previously only in iTunes. I have no idea why this worked, because it didn't in the post I mentioned.

  • Video podcasts and iPod Nano

    Hi everybody!
    Why can't I add video podcasts to my iPod nano 4GB ?

    no...i don't becuase, like all good marketing, they have certain products with certain features.
    Such as,
    Ipod Nano = incredibly small, album art, and a good amount of music
    ipod Video= little big but the screen needs to be big for video capabilities. They can also get more money for something like this.
    and plus if nano had video, it be hard to see...the screen is extremely small.

  • Free space. Trouble loading music to ipod nano

    I bought a 2GB Nano today but although it is supposed to hold about 500 songs, I can only load about 1/3 of that volume. Am I just being really blonde or can someone explain how to correct this. Also, I used to have a shuffle and it was much easier to upload music to it with the 'autofill' feature. When my nano is plugged in, the 'autofill' feature doesnt display. Why is it so hard to upload music.

    However, my 2GB iPod nano still only stores 132 randomly selected songs from my library and fills up the memory.
    I'm a little confused by this. The 2GB Nano doesn't have an autofill feature like the shuffle does. How exactly are you getting a "random" selection of songs?
    Are you using manual updates for your Nano and picking the songs you want on it?
    If your songs are all 128kbps AAC files of around 4 minutes each... and you can really only fit 130 tracks on the iPod... then you might want to try restoring your iPod and syncing your music again.
    Additionally, the importing settings are only for NEWLY IMPORTED tracks. Changing those settings won't affect tracks that are already in your iTunes library.
    Is it possible that you have songs in your library that are encoded higher than 128kbps? You can do a 'Get Info' on some of your tracks and check the encoding bitrate.

  • Why won't my Playlist load onto my iPod Nano

    Hi, I have been given a 1GB iPod nano as a present but being computer iliterate cannot figure out how to put music from iTunes on the iPod. I have, using CD's & some songs from iTunes Stores built a playlist of my favourite tracks. However, although my list has 95 songs on it, it will only load 22 of these onto my iPod. What am I doing wrong !! I am using iTunes 7.02 so have the most up-to-date software but don't know why I can't get the rest of my songs onto the iPod. If someone can tell me in english how to do this, I would be most grateful ! I have also tried deleting the songs from the iPod and starting again but iTunes won't allow me to delete these either! Thanks
    Time   Windows XP  

    Hi, thanks for you reply. I thyink I have included the info you wanted!
    In iTunes under the import tab, it says:
    On CD Insert: Ask to import CD
    Import Using: AAC Encode
    Setting: High Quality (128kbs)
    Details: 64 kbps (mono)/128 kbps (stereo)
    underneath this, the 1st 3 boxs are ticked.
    When I right-click on some of the songs in itunes here is the response:
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod (orignally on my old MP3 player):
    Size 2.2MB / Format MPEG-1 , Layer 3
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 3.1MB / Kind AAC Audio File
    I purchased 2 songs from iTunes - neither of which went onto my iPod, Here is the info for 1 of these:
    Size 3.5MB / Kind Protected AAC audio file
    1 of the songs that did not load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 4.5MB / Kind AAC audio file (I copied 3 songs from this particular album and 1 went onto my iPod but this one and another did not.)
    I never had this problem with my old MP3 Player. I presume there is a way around this with iTunes ?? Otherwise, will be reverting back to my old MP3 !

  • How do you load games onto ipod nano?

    i purchased them and now i cannot figure out a way to load them on my ipod as simple as my music.

    Games from the iTunes store are not compatible with the iPod nano first generation.

  • Trouble manually managing podcasts on iPod nano.

    I want to automatically sync songs on my iPod nano, but manually manage the podcasts.
    In this setup I have trouble deleting the podcasts. After much testing I have come to believe this it is a sofware bug. I will now describe the way to reproduce this 'bug'. I want to know if others have the same problem, or if I'm doing something wrong.
    Setup : Windows XP. iTunes 6.0.3.23 , Nano 4Gb 1.1
    1. I have setup iTunes to not synchronise podcasts. I've set it to "manually manage podcasts". How then should I get podcasts on my iPod in such a configuration? By manually placing the podcast into a playlist and then syncing that playlist to the iPod. Well.... let's try that.
    2. I create a playlist MyPlaylist and manually add two songs ( Song1 , Song2 ) and two podcasts (Podcast1, Podcast2) to the playlist.
    3. I go to the preferences of the iPod and select to sync MyPlaylist
    4. I let iTunes update the iPod
    5. When I browse the iPod from within iTunes I can confirm that as expected both songs and both podcast are now on the iPod
    6. I remove Song2 and Podcast2 from the playlist.
    7. Again I let iTunes update the iPod
    8. When I browse the iPod from within iTunes I see that Song2 has been deleted as expected. But Podcast2 still remains on the iPod. I can not select it and delete it. It just sits there wasting space. If I look at the playlist on the iPod I can see that Podcast2 is not listed in the playlist.
    Keep in mind that I do not wish to remove Podcast2 from iTunes. I only wish to remove it from my iPod.
    Even if I choose to not sync MyPlaylist at all, the two Podcasts remain on the iPod.
    My workaround is to temporarily select that I will manually manage the songs on the iPod. Now I can select the podcast and delete it.
    So. Do others have this same weird behavior? Am I doing something wrong?
    Nano 4Gb 1.1   Windows XP   iTunes 6.0.3.23
      Windows XP  

    I tried dragging the podcast over to my Ipod Nano. While I succeeded in getting the podcast over into the Nano, it shows up in songs, not under the Podcast list.
    Are you supposed to specify it is a podcast somehow, or a specific folder to drag it to?

  • IPod Nano restarting continually

    My iPod Nano has been working OK up through yesterday evening. I went for a run and then got home and connected my Nano to my PC and let it sync (which worked OK).
    During the sync, the Nike+ web site was offline, so I got some error messages from iTunes about it not being able to connect (which I ignored other than being bummed I couldn't get my data up to the web site and which may or may not be related to this problem).
    This morning, I found that my Nano restarts (resets) itself every minute or two - I'll turn on a song and it'll play for a bit and then it will reset (Apple logo comes up, it resets and returns to the main menu).
    Even if I am not doing anything at all with it (just let it sit there on my desk looking sad and lonely ), it will restart every minute or two.
    Anyone know what might cause this?
    I haven't been able to reconnect to my PC since this started happening but plan to when I return home from work. I'm hoping I can get my last few runs to the Nike+ website and then do a reinstall or something to the Nano. Not sure if that'll work.
    Any other suggestions or pointers? I tried searching here for a similar problem but found none.
    Thanks!

    Hello my ipod has just started going to the apple screen and the going white every 7 seconds or so...I have tryd to reset it the hold switch thing and all of it..I can't get it to conect to the computer..Will some one please help....

  • Loading Photos onto iPod Nano

    I'm trying to load a few photos onto my iPod nano. Right now, Itunes is telling me I have 53.6mb of free space, and windows says the contents of the folder I'm trying to load is only 6.61mb. But when I try to load the photos, I get an error message that there isn't enough room.
    Is there something I'm missing here?

  • ITunes 8 upgrade caused iPod Nano to disappear

    After upgrading my iTunes to the latest version (in Vista) - my iPod Nano is no longer being seen by either Windows or iTunes. The Nano is charging, but not visible. I have tried uninstalling iTunes, and going back to older versions, but my iPod won't come back. Help!

    Hi again,
    Unfortunately, I have already checked through that page, and done many an uninstall/reinstall of different versions. Just tried doing another reinstall with my security systems off as well - unfortunately no luck there either.
    Any other ideas? The iPod, which has it's normal screen at first, changes to the big green charged battery as soon as iTunes starts up - but it's still not seen.

  • After latest update, podcasts cause iPod to crash

    I've had no troubles at all with my Windows iTunes and iPod, until after updating to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, certain podcasts will not play on my iPod (they will on my computer in iTunes), and only cause the iPod to reboot (with the apple logo). Is this a glitch in the latest update? Resyncing doesn't help. Thanks

    Thanks for the tip, but this isn't working for me.
    Same problem persists even with the EQ setting turned
    off.
    Since then, certain podcasts will not play on
    my
    iPod (they will on my computer in iTunes), and
    only
    cause the iPod to reboot (with the apple
    logo).
    if you're getting that with certain mp3
    podcasts, it might be worth checking to see if the
    workaround from this document is of any help with
    that:
    <A
    </div>
    HREF="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=3
    04490">Fifth Generation iPod resets when playing
    some
    mono MP3 songs and podcasts
    Hmm, I take that back. I reset the EQ to off AGAIN (apparently the first time it didn't take), and the affected podcasts play.
    But turning the EQ off has to be only a temporary work-around. I am hoping Apple patches this fast.
    Thanks!

  • ITunes does not load when connecting iPod Nano (4th Gen)

    I have my iTunes settings 'disable automatic syncing for iphones and ipods' unchecked, and in my iPod settings i have 'open iTunes when connected' option checked, and iTunes still does not load. How do I solve this?

    If you have itunes open and then connect the nano, what happens?

  • Loading Podcast to iPod photo 20g

    I have an iPod Photo 20gig. Works great, but I can't always get a podcast to load from my Mac to the iPod. When I try to drag it from my iTunes list to the iPod (in iTunes), the iPod icon in iTunes won't highlight, and I can't load up the selected podcast. This is only happening with one podcast.

    In another thread ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1524557 ) turingtest2 suggests that "you must use an automatic sync option (at least for the Podcasts section) for them to appear in the iPod's Podcast menu". Perhaps the Classic is more demanding with Podcasts, who knows!

    I see the status bar showing that I'm loading something into the iPod. But when loading is done, I cannot find the file anywhere in my iPod, much less in the PodCast section. Note that I see the capacity of the iPod decreased due to audio content increase.
    As you say that you see the capacity decrease due to audio content, that would suggest that the Podcasts are in audio somewhere and have not been transferred as data files. Check in the music section under Artists, Albums and even Genres/Podcasts. If you cannot find them, I'm not sure what else to suggest.
    I've got an equally silly question, why don't you use sync to automatically load your iPod, rather than dragging stuff on and off? Unless your total audio content is greater than your iPod's capacity, it is by far the best thing to do. You can still manage the content, by selecting/unselecting the individual song titles in your library and you can also keep all the Podcasts or let iTunes delete them once you have listened to them.

  • IPod nano 3 gen rebooting

    I have just recently installed the newest update for my iPod. I am now having problems if I select a different song from the one that is playing. It goes directly to the apple icon and then reboots it self. I also downloaded a new game. So I don't know what is causing it to reboot. Could someone please tell me what to do I am leaving tomorrow. I want to resolve this problem today.
    Thanks
    One other thing it has also did it when I tried playing the game Mahjong that I downloaded on to my iPod after updating to 1.1.2.

    Try placing the iPod in Disk Mode and connecting it to your PC.  This should keep the iPod from rebooting and mount the iPod as an external volume on your Windows PC viewable from My Computer or Computer.  If you can successfully place the iPod into Disk Mode and have it recognized by iTunes, restore it to factory settings.
    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try a different USB sync cable to rule out a faulty/damaged cable. Plug the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port as well.  The iPod may not be receiving enough output from the iPod to stay connected.  This means you should unplug all other USB devices as well minus your keyboard and mouse if it's a desktop.
