My 6th gen nano has started relaying song info over and over again through the songs, any ideas?

The nano just interupts each song with the title and album of the song, and then more obscure stuff. Almost as if some deaf-function has been turned on, is there such a thing?

Seemed to be working properly this morning. I think the real problem was when I tried to skip forward/back some tracks, it lost its place and then kind of "fell into" the shuffle mode. But it's playing the tracks in order now, as it should be per the settings shown on the screen. As long as it's doing that, I'll be happy and will deal with any other issues as they come up.
So I guess another question is - if I have it in "continuous" play mode (oval arrows highlighted in blue) and then navigate to the "albums" screen and call up the album being played, should it show the "continuous" play mode at the top of the track listing? Because currently, it shows the shuffle mode at the top of the track liting - "X" arrows, but *NOT* highlighted in blue.
I think that's part of what confused me - I expected that the current play mode would display at the top of the track listing, and if I tapped that, it would toggle through the options until it got to the one I wanted. But of course, with only shuffle mode displayed there at the top of the track listing, when I tapped it, it went right into shuffle mode and started shuffling the tracks on that album.
Hope this makes sense....
Thanks.

TS3474 My 6th gen nano has suddenly stopped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest downloaded tunes.

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.
This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive.

The Display on my 6th gen nano has flipped sideways, and I don't know how to get it back to the right side up.

The display on my 6th Generation Nano has flipped sideways, and I can't figure out how to get it to flip back.

Place your fingers onto the screen and gently (but firmly!) drag the screen around to the upright position.
Hope this helps.

HT1338 This morning my mac has started pressing th 'one' key whenever it feels like it. Any ideas?

So I work from home mostly on my mac book pro, which i bought early in 2011. I set and started working exactly as i would every other day.
The mac took no irregular knocks, nothing was spilt on it but it's decided to put 1's in whenever it feels like it. I've deleted a whole bunch just writing this!
I tried to update the software because i figured it might correct a bug. I also googled the problem to see if anyone else had posted something similar but i haven't had any luck.
I don't feel comfortable taking the mac apart and my nearest apple store is a little out of the way so any help on here would be great!
oh and sometimes the 1 doesn't work, but that came with the problem never had an issue before
Many Thanks to anyone out there!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

My Mac book pro has all the sudden started running slow and freezing up all the time , any ideas why or what to do

Hello ,
I am not very good with tech things , I have a Mac Book Pro and have had it for almost two years with no problems. Now for the past week or so it has started running extremely slow and freezing up all the time. I am not really sure what is going on but is there any advice on something to do or any idea what could be wrong.

My MacBook Pro is running very slow.

My Mac has started to shut down unexpectedly since we installed google chrome. Any ideas?

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and also installed Google Chrome. Since then our Mac will shut down unexpectedly. Any ideas?

Hi, lindafrommendota.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your Mac restarts unexpectedly after the install of Google Chrome. Here is a troubleshooting article that will walk your through some steps for this issue. However, since this issue started once you installed a specific program, I would uninstall this program and test the results.

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.

Does anyone know how to get a 6th gen nano to just play a single podcast and then stop? My old 2nd gen did this, but its slicker replacement has this annoying habit of just ploughing through the whole list.

I like to listen at night, but it's still playing by morning. My old one just played one and then stopped - I liked it much better, thanks if any solutions

My Mac Book OS X(10.9.2) has been receiving pop up ads when I am surfing the internet, any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

I tried to install a virus scanner, traffic light to see where the problem exists with no luck, any suggestions?

See Thomas's site: http://www.thesafemac.com for help with adware.
Also go to Safari, Preferences, Security and see that you have Block Pop-up Windows checked.

My 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings. help

my 6th gen nano voiceover has mysteriously started coming on 2-3 times per song. voiceover is set to off in settings and i have reset the nano. it's very frustrating listening to that voice which identifies song, artist and playlist. help!

If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

6th Gen Nano skipping songs

Hi all
I have a 6th Gen Nano that i recieved as a replacement for a 1st gen. It has been working perfectly until recently when i noticed that it started to skip some songs. It is not all songs that are affected but a significant proportion of them. The songs play fine through iTunes and are also ok on my iPhone 4 and also used to play fine on the Nano but not any more.
The songs affected come from different places (CD Rips, Amazon etc) and looking at the file i can see nothing that could cause the problem. I have created a blank itunes library and added the affected songs to it before syncing with my Nano but this still causes the same problem. The Nano has been wiped but this doesnt help. It is running version 1.2 of the software which i think is the latest.
I have taken it to the Genius Bar where it was wiped and some diagnostics run on it but this didnt help either. I paid for a replacement 6th Gen Nano (it was out of warranty) but this nano exibited the same problem with the same songs. I have been refunded the cost of the replacement but still have a very tiny brick at the moment that i cannot use.
It seems that the Nano doesnt like some of the songs for some reason and when going through the sync process it doesnt sync all of them even though they appear on the iPod the mp3 file may be missing when i look at it in finder.
As the song plays in iTunes and on my iPhone it is perplexing as to why it doesnt on the Nano. Does anyone know of a way to identify if a song will not play on the Nano as at the moment i am putting them on there and seeing which work and which dont. As they used to work on there i am not sure what to do.
Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.
Cheers
Simon

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

My apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

my apple 6th gen nano turns on but only has a bright light without images

Hi fejevitzky,
Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.

How to get Nano 6th Gen v1.1 to scroll song and podcast names

Is it possible to get a Nano 6th Gen v1.1 to scroll song and podcast names ?
F.

swipe to the left on the song name.
On a totally unrelated note this new discussions board is ***** with a capital S. Why the anti-segregation with model generations?

My 6th gen nano has started relaying song info over and over again through the songs, any ideas?
