Nano 6th Gen and Windows 8

My Ipod Nano 6th Generation is not recognized by Windows 8.1. Is there a patch?

The article you provided (iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369) seems to indicate that the system requirements only apply to Windows 7 and earlier. However, I have the bug-filled Windows 8.1 on my desktop. In addition, nothing I tried in your article worked, and neither Windows Explorer or the latest iTunes recognizes the Ipod Nano Gen 6. It works fine on my Windows 7 laptop, so it is not the cord or the unit.
Have your engineers checked out the Gen 6 on Windows 8.1? If so, please update your article to reflect that 8.1 meets system requirements. If not, and you don't intend to update the software to resolve the conflicts that might arrise between them, you should so state.
If the Gen 6 should work with Windows 8.1, and it is just some conflct with my machine, then please escalate this request and have someone call me.

Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?

I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

Nano 6th Gen and iTune crash my PC (windows 7)!!

I have a nano 6th generation and i am using a PC runing on windows 7.
Initially, a couple of months back, i was able to connect and sync the nano to my PC - no issues with iTune.
Just last week, I tried to connect my nano to my PC again but i noticed once the iTunes started running, it crashed my PC. It crashed not just my PC, but 2 other PC with iTunes running. Whereas I tried to connect it with a PC without iTunes and a Macbook, the laptops didn't crash at all.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes as well as did a hard reset on on the nano (resulting in loss of all songs in the nano).
Yet when i connect the Nano to my PC, it will crash the PC again and again.
Is anyone facing such issue??? Please help advise how to resolve this issue?

Do you have any other USB devices connected to your PC when you connect the Nano (minus the keyboard and mouse)?
Do you have any AntiVirus software running on your system? Try temporarily disabling it to see if that helps.
Any additional iTunes plug-ins/add-ons installed of any sort?
Do you have all the latest Windows updates/patches applied to your system? You should also update all firmware, BIOS, and drivers for your system as outdated ones can cause issues.

IPod Nano (6th gen) and Technogym treadmill

Hi,
I have a 6th gen iPod Nano and I have been using it with nike+ for a while. In particular, I have been using the transmitter plugged in the ipod and the sensor in my nike shoe to track my running data and eventually upload it to nikeplus.com. Hence, I have one sensor linked.
Today, I went to my local gym and saw a Technogym treadmill with a big touchscreen and a possibility to dock an ipod. (I assume that the model of treadmill is a couple of years old, because it had a TV, fan, ipod support, etc., but no internet support. Here is the image of the exact treadmill - http://cityfitness.lv/upload/IMG_0452.JPG).
Moreover, I plugged in my 6th gen ipod nano. Set up and started a 5k run on the technogym treadmill. My ipods music was accessible on the technogym instantly. Also, I saw that during the workout the ipod's screen showed "Nike+. Workout data is recording" or something like that.
I did the 5k and finished the workout. I unplugged the iPod nano but my workout did not appear under Fitness - History. When I got home, I connected the ipod to iTunes, and the ordinary-afer-a-workout popup asking whether I want to send workout data to nikeplus appeard. I clicked yes. BUT, again, nikeplus.com does not show my technogym workout and neither does itunes.
The only thing appearing in iTunes, is a new sensor. Its name is "Gym User 1" or something like that.
So the question is. How can I get my 6th gen iPod Nano to fully work with technogym treadmill?
Thanks,
Reinis

Hello mark0198,
I'm afraid not. Your computer must meet the minimum requirements.

Ipod nano 6th gen and bluetooth

How do I connect my ipod nano 6th generation to a blutooth adapter so I can use wireless headphones?

You buy a bluetooth adapter that is compatible with a 6th Generation Nano.

I just got a new used iPod nano 6th gen and I registered it, but it will not sync. I had an exsisting iPod nano that I no longer have, but I do have itunes on my computer. When I try and sync it, it flashes 'syncing' then stops. Help please!

I have looked all over itunes for help, please help me figure this out. I just want to sync the music from my itunes accout from my old iPod onto my new one that I got off of ebay. I have registered it but it will still not work. Is there anything I can do? Should I call Apple? Can I reregister it? Is there some other way for me to connect it to my account? Please help me:(

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

Nano 6th gen and Itunes for audiobooks

Been trying to get an audiobook onto my ipod for 2 weeks. It's downloaded and in Itunes. Been dragged to device and appears in "recently added" but is not on the actual device. I've used Itunes for music and also Zune (which, by the way, is much easier and user friendly than Itunes). Can someone help me to get this audiobook to appear on my device?

For audiobooks and iTunesU to appear on the screen you have to download the relevant content into iTunes and then synchronise your iPod. For voice memo to appear you have to connect a pair of headphones that incorporate a microphone, such as these: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB770G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng

My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
Thanks

I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ipod nano 6th gen keeps disconnecting

Hi all, I have a 2 year old ipod nano 6th gen and when I first brought it I synced it with my windows 7 computer. I now have a mac so about a month ago I started syncing it with my mac, and all was fine. However, I noticed it wasnt syncing my 25 top played about two weeks ago so I did a system restore. After I disconnecting my ipod (which is the final stage in the restore) I then connected it again to sync all my music back on to the ipod, but after about 50 songs it came up with a pop up box saying that I had disconnected the ipod so it couldnt be synced, however I had not touched the ipod. I have also tried a friend's ipod cord and I have tried syncing my ipod with my old windows 7 computer but when I try to sync it it still says after about 50 songs that I have disconnected the ipod. I have turned off automatic sync and I have tried restarting the ipod and my computer and nothing has helped, any ideas?

then try to do this:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step. If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

I have a brand new iPod nano (6th 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 (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
This is what happens:
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!
It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

Thanks for your answer...
The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

IPod Nano 6th Gen Touch Problems

So I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen, and my touch screen is acting weird. It will work and detect my touch, but it will randomly act as if I'm touching it when I'm not, for example I set it to time on wake, then when I wake it I see the clock for a second then it jumps to my home screen and starts "touching" icons. I did a test in the diag mode by holding all 3 buttons at once, and I get the results shown below, the Cal and SC and green and 0C is red, not sure what these mean but I'm guessing they are all supposed to say OK!. Any help would be appreciated.
Cal:OK!
0C:R2
SC:OK!

Have you tried restoring the device?
Diagnostic mode is only for the Apple Technicians. We have no way of using that information.
