My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle.

My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle.  It just plays the same song over and over.  How do I fix this?

Make sure the Repeat setting hasn't been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

  • 6th gen Nano doesn't recognize "Album Artist"

    I've recently bought a 6th gen Nano and noticed that while my iTunes recognizes "Album Artist" for songs with featured artists, but my iPod doesn't.  It'll list, for example, "Matsushita Yuya" and "Matsushita Yuya ft. Sista" as two different artists in the "Artist" menu even though they both have "Matsushita Yuya" as "Album Artist."  Both kinds of songs show up in the same album under the "Album" menu.
    I've tried listing as a compilation, changing "Sort Artist" and "Sort Album Artist," but nothing groups the songs together on my iPod under the Artist menu while keeping the featured song artist.
    Listing as a compilation and changing "Sort Album Artist" doesn't change anything.
    When I put "Matsushita Yuya" in "Sort Artist" for a "Matsushita Yuya ft. Sista" song, my iPod just gets rid of the featuring part all together.
    I've looked online, but as far as I've seen, other 6th gen Nanos don't have this problem.

    My new (5 months old) 6th gen nano started doing the same thing, starting a week ago!  I had to trade in my previous nano because the screen went white.  Paid 150 for this one, now this again!   I see alot of the same problems posted everywhere.  Is there an Nano (6G) recall in the near future?
    So where do I go from here?

  • My IPod 6th Generation Nano doesn't shuffle when I press the shuffle key. It keeps playing the same song?

    My IPod 6th Generation Nano isn't shuffling. I press the shuffling choice on play music. The same song plays over and over again. What do I need to do?

    It sounds like the Repeat setting has been turned on/enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to disable it.

  • 6th gen nano doesn't stay on or off

    My ipod nano 6g stops playing occasionally - not just when the screen goes black.  It will run about 40 minutes and then quit, and after that somewhere between 3 and 30 seconds at a time.  It also does not stay off even when I turn it off, the screen keeps coming back on and runs the battery all day.  Suggestions besides the headphones?  I've tried that.

  • I can't get my 6th gen nano to stop shuffling songs in a playlist.  I turned off "Shake to Shuffle", to no avail. Extra annoying when the playlist is an audio-book. Can anyone advise?

    Many of my playlists are audiobooks that I have borrowed from the library on CD and downloaded, not the ebook type. It is, of course, extremely annoying to have the tracks shuffled.  Is this something I am doing, or a problem with my nano?  I do have the latest version of iTunes.

    I finally exported my music to a DVD and moved it to another computer that I just bought. When I plugged in the Nano, I tried restoring the settings again. Even though I had just restored a few days before that and updated the Nano software on the other computer, it told me new software was available for the Nano! So it went thru the restore process and I loaded the music again. Same problem with the unwanted shuffling. When I checked some of the songs, shuffle was ON. I turned it off on a couple of songs, and now it's back to normal. No shuffling. Go figure.

  • Using nike fitness technology on 6th gen nano

    One of the main reasons I chose the 6th gen nano over the shuffle was the feature enabling run tracking.  It was my understanding that the newest generation was ready to go and didn't need an added kit like previous nano generations.  However, I find that my nano only has the option to use a pedometer on the pre-loaded fitness icon.  I'm new to apple technology, so excuse my ignorance, but I can't seem to find a way to track distances, mile times, and similar. Please help me figure out if there are controls that can be changed or additional downloads that must be pursued.  Thank you!

    You can't. Being able to do so would dramatically decrease your iPod's battery life anyways.

  • HT4316 my 6th gen nano won't p/u any radio signals when I plug in earbuds

    My 6th gen nano doesn't seem to recognize the earbuds are inserted.  It tells me to insert them in order to p/u radio signals when they are already in.  How can I get FM radio to work? Thx!

    I don't understand why you only recvd 5pts, I clicked on "This solved my question", as it did.
    I had tried 3 sets of headphones but not inserted them far enough in, afraid of damaging my
    new gadget.  I was quite frustrated.  Anyway, I suppose 5 beats 0, thank you again and I
    apologize for points mixup.

  • 6th gen nano with nike + playlists don't shuffle

    I switched from 1st gen nano to the 6th gen nano last week and one thing that I noticed is my playlists when hooked up to nike + sensor don't shuffle. I hear the same songs in order every run! It's frustrating because the 1st gen nano if shuffle is turned on for songs will shuffle your playlist songs in nike + mode the 6th gen doesn't. I shook the heck out of it and still it's the same song. Turned off shake when shuffle to see if their's a shuffle choice nope. Anyone else find this frustrating?
    I have a call in to tech support this morning going to ask them this question seems I missing something or the 6th is missing this option.

    I have the very same problem! And the calibration is a pain but it's getting better. "Default calibration... is accurate for many users" pshh...
    You should let me know if you find out a way to get past this!

    My 6th gen nano has suddenly stoped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest dowloaded tunes from the itunes store.

    The ipod shows on iTunes and it says it's syncing, but no content is transfered.

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

  • 6th Gen Nano - Sound Check doesn't work

    Hi
    The sound level on my 6th Gen Nano is all over the place. There is a big variance in volume from one song to the next which is both annoying and dangerous to my hearing. The Sound Check function is turned on in both the Nano settings and iTunes.
    Does anyone know a fix to this before my ear-drums blow out?

    Sound check is basically useless. Hasn't worked effectively on any model I've purchased. However, as others have pointed out, you can adjust the volume of a song so that your playlists don't cause public embarrassment. Simply do a control "i" on a particular song. In the "info" tab, you can increase or decrease the volume of a particular tune. However, if you make the adjustment, be sure to adjust all of the tune from that album. Otherwise, when you play the album, the song you tweaked will have a different volume from the rest of tunes on the album. It ain't a great fix... but it's better than what the programmers have done with sound check.

  • 6th gen nano not recognized by win7, nor itunes

    i've been using my 6th gen nano for a few months now with no problems. suddenly today, i plugged it in and it wasn't recognized by windows and doesn't show up in itunes.
    i keep getting errors stating the unknown device is not recognized. i've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers in the Device Manager. i've tried everything on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. i've also uninstalled, reset, and reinstalled itunes...twice. i've also reset the 6th gen nano several times by holding down the - volume button and sleep button.
    the weird thing is, when i plug in my 2nd gen shuffle, it's instantly recognized by win7 and itunes. same thing for my 1st gen nano (using the same cable and USB port).
    itunes 10.1.1.4

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

  • HOW do I get the "watch" to stay on and not shut off on my 6th GEN  NANO?

    After purchasing a $70 cool watchband for my new 6th GEN NANO, I'm very disapointed that I can't get the "watch" function to stay on more than 15 seconds.  AppleCare says that it isn't meant to stay on, it would run down the battery.  Then why put on 16 watch faces, and show it as a "watch" on everything you publish?  Doesn't make sense you can watch TV shows and movies, but doesn't have enough battery to run a watch face.   BAD design, and shame on APPLE for selling a dozen different watchbands in their stores.  Now don't you think the store salesman would say "are you thinking of wearing this as a watch, or to hold your NANO while you are at the gym"?   15 seconds is often not enought time to get setup and take someone's blood pressure.  I don't think I need to offer an explanation of WHY a watch should work more than 15 seconds without pushing a button, do I? 

    This is getting silly, but I'm not too young to remember the early digital watches.  The difference is that we knew what we were buying .  jThey were upfont about the FACT that the watches didn't stay on.  And how well did they sell as watches?  Hmmm    I don't think any of us said that Apple was pushing Nano primarily as a watch.  That said, this is not a third party "app" either .... 18 clock faces come with the Nano as a "feature" of the product. It's not a "digital time read out"... it's made to look and act like a watch.   Apples own website touts that you can change its face "to match your mood or your outfit".... The  bands they sell range from $20 bucks to like $150 bucks....   This is a HUGE money maker for them.   It is THESE KINDS OF FEATURES that brings people back buying new ipods, because like I said, without them, I have plenty of devices that already "record music", or "store pictures".    And your other points have zero merit.  Go to the Apple website to the Nano 6 page where Apple touts all of its merits. This is where Apple explains the features of their product.  There is a whole section:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
    Clock faces. Time to match your mood. Or your outfit.
    (copy below)
    It’s all in the wrist.
    Do you wear your iPod nano on a watchband? With 18 different clock face designs to choose from, you can have a new watch style whenever the mood strikes you. Sport an analog face for a formal event, go digital for a retro feel, or choose a whimsical, animated character like Mickey Mouse or Kermit the Frog. There are also color options so you can match the color of your iPod nano. iPod nano watchbands are available in a range of styles and colors from theApple Online Store.
    And last, for the record Sir, I have probably purchased 50 Apple products for myself, my business, and as gifts in the last 10 years.  I have had my manufacturing issues which Apple always responsibly took care of.  But I have NOT ONCE complained in this forum about ANYTHING. I am a HUGE Apple fan.  I felt strongly enough, that this issure warranted warning others about.  Mostly, I wanted APPLE to understand the gaff and perceptual problem which was created. Perhaps not to all (like to you), but certainly to some (obviously like me). Let's face it, we BOTH represent groups of the public, like it our not.  Especially, since I rarely talk to Apple staff, I'm an early adopter, and for some reason, I hesitated on this product and did talk to a couple staff members when I was in the store FOR OTHER THINGS. I bought one for myself, and three for gifts.  I've already returned the ones I bought as gifts, because when I showed my neices and nephews MINE, and the disfunction of the watch, they all lost interest in keeping theirs, and opted for other Apple devices instead.  And if you still don't think they are marketing this Nano as a watch more than  iphone, touch, pad, or classic, then I throw up my arms, and say Happy New Year.  You are Apple washed and whipped beyond repair. NOBODY is perfect, not even Apple.  Or, you.

  • Linking multiple Nike+ Sensors to 6th Gen Nano

    Is there a way to link multiple Nike+ sensors to a 6th Gen Nano? I have the Nike+Sports kit with that sensor. I would like to link the sensor that I use with my touch to the nano also.
    Please point me in the directions of the correct instructions.
    I've tried to link, but the Nano doesn't see the new sensor.
    thanks
