Nano 6th gen- voice over during songs

I have a nano 6th gen and during songs the music will fade and a voice over will interrupt and name the song and artist then will start skipping through the song. It will then repeat the name and artist then start listing the folders I have set up in Itunes. I have tried turning the ipod on and off but the problem is persistant. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? The ipod was bought new, not refurbished and isn't more than 1 1/2 yrs old.

I can't help you, but you are not alone!!
The same thing happens to me. .its been doing ti for a month now
So annoying!
No idea why its happening or how to fix it

Nano (7th gen) voice over turned off but NOT

I have done 3 things to turn-off Voice Over:
1) Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver
2) Settings>Reset Settings
3) Itunes>Owner's Ipod>Summary>Configure Universal Access
It is not like VoiceOver is turned on for either #1 or #3, so it is a mystery to me why it is turned on.
In fact, it is almost like sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off, but it is on when I don't want it to be.
It happens when I am watching videos (playlist) and not only does VoiceOver turn on but sometimes the
videos just go haywire and go fast forward, reset back to 1st video on playlist even though I want to watch 5th video.
Usually this happens maybe in conjunction with holding onto the Ipod, so I don't know if I am touching something
on the Ipod that is setting it off.
I think it just sounds like I have it exchange...
I even tried to find if there was a Voice Over Kit installed on my computer so I could uninstall it, but I couldn't find it...

I have the same problem. For me it seems to happen because of my headphones causing the voice memo app to appear, even though they don't have a microphone. I only get the weird voice over, pausing, skipping etc. when the voice memo app is visible on the home screen. My earphones don't cause this problem but headphones do, neither have a microphone. Voice memo does not always appear when i plug in my headphones, but when i pause it for a while and come back, it's there. Must be a bug in the software, if only apple cared to fix it. I guess there's still no solution?

How to i get a nano 6th gen to stop playing the same song over and over?

See page 21 of your iPod's user guide for information on how to turn off the repeat feature.

Question: Problem Syncing some songs in ipod nano 6th gen

Hi all,
So I've been having some problems syncing songs over to my new Ipod nano 6th gen. Whenever I try to sync, this message pops up:
This happened before with another song, and I just ignored it, and after checking my iPod, it had synced anyways. However, some songs do not seem to do this. I've tried changing the file format from mp3 to wav, finding other copies, deleting it from iTunes and then re-loading it. Nothing seems to work. The songs that won't sync work fine on iTunes, and I can play it from my computer, whether from iTunes or Windows Media Player, but it refuses to go on my ipod. >.< If anyone has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you actually add these songs to your iTunes library and move their physical location or is iTunes referencing them in another location? Sounds like the latter in which case they won't be synced to the Nano.

Ipod nano 6th gen askinh for resore every time i connect and after the restore not showing the sysnced song on ipod

i have a ipod nano 6th gen, few days back when i tried to add few songs through iTunes it gave me error that it "can't connect to ipod . restore it" so i did and after that i synced al the songs and it showed that my my empty ipod has been up few GB's. after i disconnected , i could not see any song on the ipod . when it connected back the ipod the got same error about restore. i dont know what to do now , please help.

Hello Singhindia,
It sounds like you restored your iPod Nano when iTunes prompted you and it appears to sync. When you disconnect it and look at the content, the songs arent there, and when you plug it back into iTunes you get the same message again. I would recommend these troubleshooting sections from the following article to help isolate the issue to hardware or software:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218
Verify that iTunes is installed and updated
Restart the computer
Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
Verify the device's USB connection
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
Remove and reinstall iTunes
If the issue continues, gathering iPod Diagnostics may be helpful for you or for support personnel in identifying the issue.
Additional Information
Certain phone connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, and Sony may also cause this issue. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall your Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, or Sony phone connectivity software and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista and Windows 7).
After reinstalling iTunes, test the iPod nano.
If you still need your phone connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your iPod nano to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
While the error message is different than you are seeing, the troubleshooting is relevant for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I rencently bought an ipod nano 6th gen and its an 16gb but it does let me downlaod many music i only have 353 songs and nothing elsewhat should i do

i rencently bought an ipod nano 6th gen and its an 16gb but it doesnt let download much music as it suppose to and only have about 353 songs and i dont have any files on others.what should i do

How many songs it will hold depends on the format and length of the songs.

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.

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.

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?

I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

If they are gone, then your question is answered.
If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer. It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
If the music is gone, then it is gone.
Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
Your music is only where you put it. If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
Not sure what else you are looking for.

My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song, My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

Ipod nano 6th gen damages headphones with an inline mic?

I have been using skullcandy earbuds with inline mic/ remote with an iPod nano 6th gen. The problem is that songs will skip automatically, voice over comes on inadvertantly, and volume will go up and down by itself. at first i assumed it was the headphones since it seemed that a button on the inline remote was sticking and causing all of these inadvertant problems. but, i got brand new set of earbuds, different cheaper brand with inline remote (iLuv), and first tested them on my iPhone. they worked perfectly on the iPhone for several weeks. I then started using them on my iPod nano, and a few days later noticed the same thing as before - inadvertant skipping, voice over, etc. When i tried to use the same earbuds again, but on my iPhone, the problem persisted indicating that the headphones were now damaged. That is when i realized it must be the iPod somehow short circuiting the earbuds, since it happened on two separate sets of earbuds.
Has anyone experienced this problem before when using earbuds with an inline remote / mic? is it possible that the earbuds are not compatible with the iPod? i am worried that this is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed by software update....

Did you try doing a Reset on the iPod (which restarts the iPod)?

If that does not help, you may want to also try doing a Restore of the iPod in iTunes.

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 won't play my music.

My iPod nano 6th gen has worked fine for years and when I synced it recently it would play some tunes fine, cut some off mid-way through and skip some completely. The first thing I done was just tried to sync it again but this didn't make a difference so I reset my iPod through iTunes and synced it again but this made it worse, when I pressed play it comes up with the pause button but if I go to the next screen where you can see how far through the song is the bar wasn't moving, so the tunes aren't playing, so following this I formatted my iPod on my pc and then reset it on iTunes (I had to replace the folders I had removed during formatting) and that didn't do anything it still won't play anything. It's not my headphones as they work fine in my pc, and it's not my music as it worked fine before and they all play fine on my pc. What else can I do?

What do you mean by select tracks? It will only play particular tracks or repeatedly play a particular track? What format are these problem tracks in?

Nano 6th Gen - Docking Device?

Nano 6th Gen.. is very cool, but...
I cannot find a docking station device that will recharge it. We have five different docking units in our house... iHome, JBL, iMode, Monster, etc... None of them will charge my new Nano... Very sad.
I talked with support and they said it is "new technology". Basically we have to wait for technology to "catch up?" Lame answer...
I can "play" my Nano on all the devices but the only device that will "charge" my 6th Gen. is the USB cable it came with plugged into a computer.(what a pain)
Anyone know for sure of a dock/speaker unit that will charge?

Does not work with my Belkin doc's. Plays but won't charge. Also often doesn't remember where it was playing from or starts over again in the middle of a song. Seems to work ok on a TEAC Clock Radio. My friend has a Harmon Kardon which I will test it on.
