Nano 6th gen. will not keep accurate time.

Every time I turn it on the time is wrong and the second hand is stuck.

The audio system in some cars is apparently not compatible with the touch devices. I am not sure why. My Honda won't accept my 1G iPod Touch, but does accept the new nano (fortunately, because as tiny as it is, that's all it is useful for to me).

IPod Nano (6th gen) will not sync.

Okay, I have an iPod Nano (6th generation) that won't sync. I've reset the iPod many times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, done all the suggestions given by the troubleshooting assistant, and still nothing. When I plug it in, it turns on and begins charging, but the computer doesn't do anything. It doesn't make a little sound, it doesn't say it recognized a device. It just does nothing. I'm not in a serious rush to fix this, but I recently got some new podcasts that I REALLY want to sync on there. Does anybody have suggestions? I seriously need help.

IPod nano 6th gen will not charge or sync

iPod nano with neither charge or sync. I have reset and run through all the troubleshooting suggestions. I have used different cables, power blocks, tried plugging into both USB ports on computer. All software is up to date.
Nano will play and everything operates but power is diminishing.
Any suggestions I have not thought of?

Just tried again after an hour and the situation seems to have resolved.

My ipod nano 7th gen. will not advance to the next song, it will keep playing the current song until manuaaly changed. All updates are current.

My ipod nano 7th gen. will not advance to the next song, it will keep playing the current song until manually changed. All updates are current.

I had this issue with my 6th generation nano. It was driving me nuts, until I realized that somehow locked the repeat button on. Selecting one song rather than a selection will cause whatever song you have selected to play over and over and over and over..

Nano 6 gen will not play at the same time it is charging

My Nano 6 gen will not charge and play at the same time via USB on a windows computer. It has in the past, but now it will only charge and be recognized to the computer as an external drive. If I "eject" it, it stops charging. Not sure what to do.

Is it set to Manually manage music, or Enable disk use, on the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, it will not operate as an iPod (when connected to your computer's USB port) while it is recognized by iTunes (and Windows). It is acting as a storage "disk."
However, if you eject the iPod (using the button next to the iPod in iTunes) and leave it connected to the USB port, if should only receive power from the port. It should then operate as an iPod. It should also continue to charge, if it is not fully charged already.
In the past, you probably had it set to automatically sync, instead of Manually manage music, with disk use NOT enabled. Then, the iPod would operate as an iPod when connected, except during the time when iTunes syncs the iPod.

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

Creative Zen 8GB not keeping accurate time on cl

Hello, I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with thier Creative Zen's (mine is an 8GB) not keeping accurate time on the digital clock on the player? My firmware is .2.0 by the way. I have a fully charged battery and noticed yesterday that the time on my clock was way off and needed to be set once more. So I set it correctly yesterday, now 24 hours later, the time is again way off...it thinks it's :6 pm even though it's 0:20 pm as I post this message.
I have noticed this several times previously and have adjusted the clock accordingly each time...this is not just a random incident.
I have used the player for several hours today but the battery still has lots of charge left and the unit functions correctly minus this time issue.
Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew

I too hope that if others are having this problem that they would add their comments to this thread. I know this is a rather small issue, but it is annoying none the less. I mean otherwise my player is rock solid. Yes I could turn off the display of the clock and not rely on it at all (now I don't because it's always wrong) but that means I am settling for a product that does not work as advertised with ALL it's features working correctly. I am being kind of picky but I just want the product to function correctly... I don't think that's being too out of the ordinary with my expectations.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, I have been issued an RMA number and plan on sending the player off to Creative here in Canada.
I promised to post a follow-up with a copy of what Creative has sent me for correspondence in case others are interested. Oh and just to be complete, here are my answers to the suggested self-troubleshooting methods in the following email - yes I am running the latest firmware release and I am a clock setting professional now because I have done it so many times.
I have also searched this forum for other users who may be having this issue and I did not find too many (I found this interesting). So that is why I created this thread. I am starting to notice, at least at this time, a few others who are having similar experiences as I-yup I agree I am not the first to have problems with my MP3 player nor the last. Just was curious to see if this was a common problem or if I was the lucky one of the bunch or one that people just didn't bother to report...
Regardless everyone's feedback is appreciated and respected.
Anyhow here is their email:

hi my ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on what should i do ...no batery left and never pluged it into itunes

Hi meganisawsome,
If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:

If you are still having issues after charging, you may want to look at this article:

My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.

My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?

Hey s.mccarter2010,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPod won't turn on
If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

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
