My ipod nano 7th gen. won't save the changes I make to a song's start and stop time. How do I fix this?

So I have a few songs that I don't like the intro to or the end of it that I had cut to where I wanted on my previous ipod. When I try to do the ame thing with this one with the start and stop time, it will work for awhile and then randomly start and stop where it had originally. I have done it like 4 times now for some songs and I can't seem to get it to stick. Suggestions?

If you use the Sync feature in iTunes, then it needs to be done to the song in your Music Library, then synced with the iPod.  If you do not use the Sync feature and are performing the changes to the song on your iPod specifically, then the setting may be getting overwritten when you drag the song that's already on the iPod back onto the iPod.  It will overwrite all local settings for the song on the iPod with the settings in your library. 
Try performing the changes to the song in your music library, and then dragging it back over to your ipod (or Sync your iPod if you use that feature).  This will make sure that the setting are consistent in both your library and iPod in-case you were to ever overwrite the song once more.

    My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect with phone

    I am trying to connect my Droid Razor HD with my iPod Nano 7th Gen using Bluetooth. My phone recognizes the connection, my iPod doesn't. States:
    Mobile phone
    Not Connected
    What's going on?

    The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

  • Ipod-nano-7th-gen-won't-synch-from-itunes-or icloud?

    I have a Nano 7th generation. I am beside my self trying to get the music I buy in i tunes onto the Nano 7th gen--my iphone 4S automatically downloads all the music I buy via Wi Fi ( I also have an icloud account that has all my music in it)
    But, No matter what I can not get the the music into the Nano.  I launch itunes, plug the Nano in, it shows up on the left side of the itunes store screen (sometimes)-- I have never been asked to register it-- and it never shows up with my authorized devices in the My account info section of itunes-- the Laptop I use  & the iphone show up-- but I can't figure out how to get the Nano to show up as a recognized, authorized device.
    Why does Apple make it impossible to learn how to use the devices they make?
    I have all my  music  on the i phone ( which is really NOT the quaity music player that the Nano is, I would like to listen to it on the Nano).
    Is there any way I can move the music from my icloud into the Nano 7th generation?  I am completely at a loss, and don't know what to do or who to ask
    Please, can someone help me?   Music is one of the only things I have in my life, and this is frustrating beyond belief to pay for music I can't listen to.
    Thanks for any one s help

    Hey liznofears,
    Connecting the iPod to iTunes and having it show up on the left is the first step. It sounds to me like you want your music to sync automatically whenever you connect your iPod - if so, follow these directions:
    Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    Click the button with your device's name, below the Spotlight window.
    In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
    Select Sync Music. You can select "Include music videos" if you want to sync Music videos to your device.
    Your device needs to have enough free space to sync the content that you selected from your library.
    Tip: You can use the capacity bar at the bottom of the device settings window to see how much free space is available. The window will update with an estimate as you select content.
    Click Apply. iTunes will sync the content you selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will show the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
    To disconnect your device, find your device in iTunes and click the eject icon.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen won't charge or sync to itunes.

    I recently purchased an Ipod Nano 7th generation. When I plug it in to charge or try to sync it to my computer I get an error message saying that the accessory is unsupported. I am running Itunes in Windows Vista. I have synced this Ipod and charged it before so I am unsure of the problem. I have tried multiple cables, and other things work in the usb charge on the same computer. I have reinstalled Itunes and reset my Ipod and nothing has worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Ipod nano 7th gen won't sync

    I bought a new 7th generation ipod nano for my son for Christmas to replace his broken ipod Touch. We have a library of songs in our account that he has purchased and would like to access on his new ipod nano. I have spent over 4 hours today trying unsucessfully to understand how this should work. I have updated to the newest version of iTunes. I can see all the songs in the library. I have registered the new ipod nano. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how this works. We had similar problems with the ipod Touch and found that to be a frustrating experience as well, which makes me wonder why I bought this. I have looked at the online communities, the manual that I had to download and topics on the "help" on Apple.com. I am seriously regretting my purchase. It should not be this hard to migrate the already purchased content onto the new device. I can't believe that I have to write a question in forum just to see if I can get an answer. If this cannot be resolved quickly it will be returned.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    Please give us some more details on what is not working. The more details we have, the more we can help you.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen won't work

    I just got a 7th generation Nano. It was a gift. I tried to sync it up, and the first problem I had was that it said it was formatted for a Mac, and needed to be restored so it can sync with my PC. No problem. Then it ended up in a loop of saying it has to be restored. When I decided to heck with it for one day, disconnected and unplugged, the display on the Nano wouldn't turn off. I tried the trick of pressing both the home and power buttons at a time and it went blank, now it won't turn on again.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and nothing is working. Help?!?!

    If your version of iTunes is not the latest, go here to download the latest iTunes installer
    http://itunes.apple.com
    I would try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    On the computer, run iTunes.  If there are other USB devices connected (other than standard keyboard/mouse), disconnect them for now.  Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself.  If iTunes prompts you to do another Restore, do the Restore.  Hopefully, no "loop" this time.

  • Ipod Nano (7th gen) won't play in Prius

    I have no problems with my ipod classic or with my husband's ipod classic (these use the old USB cords).  But when I try my nano or iphone 5 (both use the newer cord that came with the nano), the connection doesn't work.
    When I connect it, I get the black screen that says that the device is connected and I can play music through the stereo as usual.  Music will play for about 10 seconds and then the ipod stops.  At this point the ipod either restarts completely or goes to it's home menu and doesn't reconnect to the car.  I will try unplugging the cord and restarting the process but it doesn't always work.  I've tried resetting the nano but it doesn't seem to make a difference.  The disconnection issue happens whether the car is moving or if I'm parked in my driveway.  I have also tried getting a new cord and using the one that came with the iphone but it didn't make a difference. 

    does no one have any suggestions?

  • IPod nano 7th gen won't charge.

    I bought it in July, everything has worked well. Yesterday the battery had run out, and now it won't read the charger - and I have tried multiple chargers. I have also tried resetting while plugged in, and that did not help either. Any ideas?

    You are still under warranty.  Call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) 

  • My ipod nano 7th gen won't sync with new itunes!

    Ever since I have downloaded the new version of itunes, my ipod will no longer sync. Firstly, it wouldn't even be recognised on my desktop but I somehow managed to fix that and is now recongnised on computer. When I plug my ipod in it says its connected but now everytime i try to sync my ipod it comes up with the same message on itunes of 'an ipod has been detected, but cannot be indentified properly. Please disconnect an reconnect the ipod, then try again. If the problem persits, unintall and reintall itunes.' I have gone through all the support on the apple website, and uninstalled itunes numerous times and tried all usb ports to make sure there is no faults in that area but nothing seems to work. Just annoying how my ipod used to work perfectly fine before I downloaded the new version of itunes, thought updates were meant to improve the experience? Any help will be very much appreciated!

    CORRECTION IT IS A 4TH GEN.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen not turning on or connecting to laptop??

    My son's ipod nano 7th gen won't turn on and when I connect it to the lap top a message comes up saying device driver not recognised - he was listening to it just last night, can anyone help? He's only had it since his birthday in November.

    I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

  • Ipod Nano 7th Gen Shuffle question...

    Hi, ive just purchased an ipod nano 7th gen, when i use the shuffle function and turn the ipod on the playlist starts back at the begining (i.e 1 of 400) not where i turned it off at (say 30 of 400).
    is there any way to correct this so i can get all the way through a shuffle playlist?
    thanks, Rob.

    Hi Raynlis,
    It sounds like a frustrating situation with your iPod nano not allowing you to play in shuffle mode. You have already done some of the troubleshooting I was going to suggest - resetting the iPod. The next step would be to do a restore of the iPod. See this article -

  • How can I lock the screen on ipod nano 7th gen?

    How can I lock the ipod nano 7th gen? Just pressing the top button doesnt cut it as it still starts to play music or pauses or change volume with the slightest knock im in 2 minds to take it back if you cant lock it as ive only had it 4 days and already found this a huge problem!

    Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
    That's an old discussion about (failure vs feature), but I wonder about if you are running, you can let the screen locked and still change or pause the song by pressing the buttons on the side of the iPod)
    hope I could help you

  • IPod nano 7th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize Headphones

    I have a brand new iPod nano (7th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted or that the headphone jack has dust inside. As i always do on a regular basis with mp3 devices, i cleaned out the jack to be sure
    This is what happens:
    When music is not playing i hear a crackle pop sound every 2 seconds or so. My headphones are perfectly fine and work with my Samsung galaxy s4 and my old iPod touch, and my brothers iPhone. Just don't work with iPod nano. I have 3 pairs of headphones all which do not work but I do not have the original headphones. they are so uncomfortable and seems unfair to me that apple would have a one size fits al headphone that only works with the device. I do not intend on switching.
    When I play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if I let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the iPod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
    When I try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
    Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iPhone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the iPod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
    I have also restored the device in iTunes, and updated with no luck.....
    Thanks in advance for any useful answer!
    iPod nano

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the nano's headphones jack.  It should "click" into place.  The fit may be tighter than expected, especially when new.  There is a sensor in there, and if the plug is not completely inserted, you may get some sound, but the nano will not "sense" the headphones.
    If that is not the problem, you should have the nano looked at under warranty.  It should work with any standard headphones. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.

  • How to stream movies from an ipod nano 7th gen

    I just bought an iPod nano 7th gen and I own an Apple TV and a lightning connector  to hdmi cable. Is there a way to put movies from my iPod on my tv

    The 6th gen nano could not play videos, so it certainly could not stream them to a TV.  It may have been able to show photo slideshows on a TV screen.
    The 5th gen nano (plus 3rd and 4th gen) may have had the ability, but I don't think its output was HDMI.  You could use this
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
    to output a composite (non-digital) signal to a TV.  But the new nano has a Lightning connector, so I probably won't work (even if you use an adapter).
