Nano 6th Gen. EQ settings

I am on my 3rd IPod, 6th gen., the other 2 were 4th gen ( 1 stolen; sigh) and I just starting to fool around with the EQ settings.  I have always left the EQ off and everything sounded fine.  Most of the time I listen to audiobooks in cheap auto speakers.  And sometimes, I listen to music ( rock) also on the cheap speakers and occasionaly  on the supplied earplugs.  Would I be better of switching to the small speaker setting, how would this affect the sound listening to music?  I'm in the mode of adjusting something once and leaving it, I don't want to keep changing it!  Or, should I just keep the EQ off since it seems to work fine for me that way?  If it isn't broken, don't fix it moron!?  Thanx for any feedback, I appreciate it.

I set my IPOD on the small speaker setting and listened for a while to both music and an audiobook.  It does seem to sort of make a difference and the sound is somewhat better.  The rig that  I use my IPOD in  has cheap  speaekers; I think if I had better speakers I would notice more of a difference.  But, It's a company vehicle and I won't bother upgrading the speakers.
By the way, at home I listen regularily to music off my MacBook Pro on decent speakers.  There is a setting on Itunes where you can also adjust the EQ(Equalizer) where I set it on the rock setting and I definitely noticed a difference.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

    Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

  • 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 - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

    Hi
    I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
    This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
    I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
    Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
    The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
    The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
    The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
    Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
    It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
    Thankyou!

    Hello bfsf,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen, wierd functionality problems

    I got this ipod nano 6th gen refurbished from apple a year back.  I just started using it and found that after I synced it with my itunes, i have the following problems :
    1. The screen display is opposite than my previous ipod (landscape vs portrait).
    2. I have to manually change to next song most of the time.
    3. When I change songs, it plays a song a few seconds and then skips a few before stopping on a song.
    4. The song playing is not the song displayed on the screen.
    Tried restoring to factory settings.  Same issues.    Can someone help?

    Hi zenpal1,
    If you are having multiple issues with your iPod nano that persist after a factory restore, you may need to have your iPod evaluated or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

  • I found Ipod nano 6th gen on the middle of a road In Finland.

    Found ipod nano 6th gen 16gb graphite in the middle of a road. was little banged up from the clip side and probably been there the full 20 or so hours the battery lasts. this was at night between 15th and 16th of may.
    The text was cyrillic so most likely in russian. Most of the memory had been used.
    Is there anyway I can get hold of the owner? I know nothing about apple stuff and there are not much clues in the nano, nor do I know how to read russian so...
    wasted effort anyhows.
    I accedently reset the settings when i tried to turn the language to finnish. (which kinda worked though).

    Be advised: the Ipod nano has been delivered to police station's lost and found.
    If you have lost an Ipod nano 6th in Finland around the time period mentioned above with Russian
    language enabled, you should go ask about it from the nearest police station to the place the nano was lost.
    happy summers.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen will only turn on when plugged into a power source.

    My ipod nano 6th gen ONLY turns on when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as I unplug it, it turns off. I also tried to reset it and it did not help. Any suggestions? 

    Howdy mela1223,
    If I understand correctly your iPod will not stay on unless you have the charger plugged in even after resetting it. Normally this would indicate a hardware issue that would need a repair but to cover all the bases before that, the last troubleshooting that can be done for it would be to restore it with iTunes on a computer. 
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage. 
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • IPOD nano 6th gen recovery problem?

  • Moving music from ipod nano 6th gen to a new itunes llibrary

    I have an ipod nano 6th gen that was originally synced to a laptop which has broken. all the music is gone but is still on my ipod. how can i transfer this music to my new laptop? is there any free/trustworthy programs available or are there settings that i must set my itunes library to? Please help, this will benefit many of my family members.

    Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
    You can now sync your ipod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.

  • IPod nano 6th gen skips songs mid track

    Hi there! I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue?
    Ive had my iPod nano 6th gen for a couple of weeks now and really enjoying it except when its  in my speaker dock where it will occasionally play half a song, bleep, then switch to a new track! (rather annoying when you're belting out a song a it changes half way through!!!) I've also noticed that I will select an album or a particular artist to play, then when this happens and the new song will come from the main playlist! 
    I haven't noticed this when I have my headphones in! 
    This is the only thing that's bugging me about the iPod! Otherwise it's a fab piece of kit! 

    Head to Settings and make sure the Shake to Shuffle feature is turned Off.

  • My Ipod Nano (6th Gen) screen is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. i got this thing this morning and i really regret it!! HELP!!

    HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
    My brand-new IPod Nano (6th gen) is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. This happened right after ITunes said it was in recovery mode. The ipod said "do not disconnect" before and, Like an idiot i disconnected it, now it says "ok to disconnect". it has been like that for over an hour. I think it's a bit of a lost cause. im about ready to hammer this thing. Can anyone help???????

    Go to your Main Menu, then Setting and then Reset Settings. That helped me once with another issue.

  • Is it possible to get intermediate info while running with the Ipod Nano 6th gen?

    In the store I was told that the Ipod Nano 6th gen would keep me informed every 500m or every km about my distance, average speed etc.
    The Ipod only tells me AFTER the run what my average speed etc was. Not during my run. Is there a possibility to get this info during my run? The store does not know the answer.

    Do you have the Spoken Feedback setting set to On under Settings -> Fitness on the iPod?

  • My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • 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.
