Locking video function of ipod nano 5g

Hi there,
is it possible, to disable the video function of the ipod 5g?
Or lock the Main Menu, so that no one has access without the proper password, like with the maximum loudness?
Sincerely

there is nowhere explained, if the VIDEO TAKING FUNCTION of the ipod can be disabled or locked :/
I *ask, because i want to buy one for my children, but i do not want them to take any movies.*
Anyone else, please?

Your only recourse is to purchase an iPod without video features. There is no way to just lock any one feature on the iPod Nano 5th gen with video cam *yet.*

    Cheers thanks.

    There is no search function.  If there was, it would be mentioned in the iPod's User Guide.

  • Is there a way at all to put music videos in your ipod nano?

    Is there a way at all to put music videos in your ipod nano?

    No. The nano is not capable of video playback. You would need the fifth-generation full sized iPod for that.

  • Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

    can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

      Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
      This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it.  One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod.  When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio.  Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio.  I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really?  This is freakin' new, Apple people!  Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

  • What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    There isn't one.  You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings.  There is no other way.

  • My daughter has accidentally deleted all videos from her ipod nano - is there a way of retreiving them?

    my daughter has accidentally deleted all her videos on her ipod nano - is there any way of retreiving them?

    If your daughter owns a 5G Nano (the one with the camera built-in) and she deleted her recorded videos, I'm afraid you are out of luck. There is a small chance that some expensive data recovery solutions can recover some of that, but again the chances are slim.

    You delete the videos directly from the iPod Nano, not iTunes.

  • Function of ipod nano 2G

    i know that ipod is used to listen to music but i don't know if it can allow me listen these file which aren't music , are english example listening lessons . i buy this ipod only to pratise my listening english better so i need know " Can iPod nano 2G run these file, not music " ( i try syncing these file to my ipod but i don't see them on my ipod...)...
    i have ever hear that ipod nano can run video but there have to be " Linux " to run them , i don't know about it clearly, so if you can , tell me about function of Linux.Oh, i also want to know if ipod nano 2G can run video, which not music video .
    thanks .

    It plays most popular formats of sound files, MP3, ACC, M4A. You must convert your files to these formats (iTunes do this usually). But about video on iPod nano 2nd gen., it does not support video playing officially, but iPodLinux make it able to play uncompressed AVI files, but it's better to use it UNTOUCHED! if you wanna watch video, buy newer versions.

  • Lack of good functionality for iPod Nano alarm timer?

    Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a Gen 2 - 2GB Nano, and I had figured that between the Sleep function, the Alarm function, and the Stopwatch function, it would be something I could use to listen to music while working out, and at the same time use it as a timer for the couple of exercises I do that I'd like to time (as opposed to counting).
    I would think this would be a key use of Nanos by many people, but what I find is that all of the options are less than desirable.
    Alarm: I could set the alarm to go off at the allotted time, but what I would want is the "beep" and for the "beep" to come through the headphones. I'm listening to music using the headphones, so I don't to hear the "beep" emitting from the Nano's "internal speaker". Selecting a Playlist to be the alarm sound does work to alert me to it being time to switch exercises, but "switch" is the key problem here because it switches to that new (or the beginning of the same) Playlist. In other words, the main function of the Nano for me is to listen to music, and perhaps that will be an entire album while I work out, but using the Playlist feature for the sound of the alarm means I will be interrupted in the midst of, say, track 4 of the Playlist I'm wanting to listen to for my workout.
    Sleep Timer function: Only allows me to select in 15 minute intervals (I need 11 or 12 minutes for one particular exercise, though I could live with 10 minutes, but that’s not even there). Plus the abrupt shutoff of the music that's playing is horrible. The intent of the Sleep Timer function of course makes the 15 minute interval choices make sense, but a bit of a fade for the music shutoff would be an improvement (and less likely to wake someone up who was just drifting off). If the Sleep Timer could actually let me set the number of minutes, it would be my solution (since upon stopping the music that’s playing, that position in the Playlist is retained and one can start listening again where one left off).
    Stopwatch: Stopwatch isn't really useful for what I'm trying to do. It would be, of course, if it had a "timer" setting that let you program it for a number of minutes to count down, then upon reaching zero it would beep in the headphones along with the music being played, or just fade the music that’s playing, similar to what the Sleep Timer does, though it does it abruptly...
    So two questions:
    1. Do any more experienced iPod owners know of a way I can do what I’m trying to do? (Play music, be alerted when a specific number of minutes are up, and not have the position in the Playlist of the music I’m listening to be lost.)
    2. What is the way to make suggestions to Apple for changes to the iPod software?
    Any help/comments appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Rich Apple (and yes, Apple is my name, and no, Apple the company has never seen fit to give me a computer and take advantage of the wonderful “stealth advertising” I would naturally be… Oh, your name is Apple? Do you own the computer company? Well, no, but they actually did give me a computer; that’s how groovy they are.)
    Nano 2GB Generation 2    

    Thank you, Jeff, for the couple of answers. I did put in a couple enhancement requests via the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html link, and I imagine such requests carry more weight if others also request them.
    I requested that Apple make it so one can be alerted to an alarm via the headphones without losing the position in the playlist that one is listening to, or that the Sleep Timer be changed to accept a number of minutes rather than just choosing between the 15 minute increments. (Either being a means to time something (excersize, hard-boiling an egg, sex, or anything) and be alerted when the time is up without having to lose one's place in the Playlist.)
    I also requested that the Sleep Timer function use a fade-out rather than the abrupt shut-off of the music.
    Again, thanks for the link, and thanks for confirming that you too can't find a way to do the timed periods in the way that I would think many others would want.

  • How do I transfer YouTube videos to my iPod Nano?

    I'm having a slight problem.
    I downloaded some videos from YouTube to download onto my iPod Nano (7th Generation), so I could watch them wherever I go. I then added the videos (converted into MP4 and then into MOV in my attempt to solve my problem) to the Movies, under the "Home Videos" tab. From there, I synced my iPod, and disconnected, going on my merry way. But when I went to watch the videos, none of them were transferred, having only showed me the blank screen, that says "Upload videos from iTunes".
    The iTunes Support wasn't much help, because I don't think it was up to date. This is kind of making me frustrated.. Can anyone help?

    So did you update?
    Movies must be first converted to mp4 format before you can transfer them to the iPod Nano.  Read the manual that came with your iPod nano or do a Google search.

  • Videos from 5g ipod nano to apple tv

    I have taken some videos from my 5th gen. ipod nano. They were uploaded into iphoto. In Apple TV I checked the box under the photo tab, which lists the videos; and I sync. But nothing gets gets synced. There is no error message, nothing gets transferred over. How do I get these videos taken with the ipod onto the Apple TV

    Video Capture specs for nano:
    * H.264 VGA video, 640 by 480 pixels, up to 30 frames per second with AAC audio
    * 15 real-time special effects: Sepia, Black and White, X-Ray, Film Grain, Thermal, Security Cam, Cyborg, Bulge, Kaleido, Motion Blur, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Dent, Stretch, and Twirl
    * H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    The h264 variants should be fine on AppleTV - need to check on the MPEG-4 - resolution may be a bit high.
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    MPEG-4 resolution supported:
    MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    So 640x280 might be too big in the vertical direction - give it a shot and let us know.
    I assume the different video capture settings are selectable on iPod nano - you will likely get equal quality with h264 with smaller file sizes than plain MPEG-4 (They're all MPEG-4 variants and the nomenclature is confusing).

  • Video out on ipod nano 7th generation

    I am trying to determine if I can play video out to TV with the latest ipod nano (7th gen). I found a support page( iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support) which suggests its possible from 3rd gen onwards but I'm not sure that page is up to date for 7th gen, especially as the suggested cables are 30 pin rather than lightning.
    If it is possible then which cable should I use? Prefer HDMI but composite or component would do.

    That is normal.
