Nano Firmware Update

I just updated the firmware on my Nano. The Apple site says it included bug fixes. Anyone know what they were?

heres wats new-
1. holding menu will take you to the main menu instead of activating or deactivating the backlight
2. lyrics and album art staying on screen and not disappearing after 10 seconds
3. Apple Radio Remote support
4. Line-out problem, occasionally when going from headphones to line-out, there would be no sound.
5. The 'Alarm' feature has been overhauled, easier to set the time, and a little bell icon is displayed next to the 'Alarm' menu item when it is set.
6. 'Screen-lock' has also been changed, slightly different interface, the numbers are in sunken boxes as opposed to the red glow. And a new warning is given telling you to hook your Nano up to your comp if you forget your code.
7. There was a problem with turning off, if you scrolled back or forward through a playlist/album, back to the main menu, sometimes it would not turn off.
8. The song title is in bold above the lyrics when you go to the lyrics screen
9. itunes opens almost instantly (within a second or 2) with the ipod showing. Before, this used to take 5-10 seconds, maybe more.
10. Reduced lag, before, when scrolling and clicking quickly through menus and songs, had some 'slow down', this is gone now.
11. Before the update I noticed a lag when I would skip songs, the next song would come on but the tags would have a slight lag on them and that has been fixed as well.
12. More accurate battery meter. Doesn't go down too quickly as it used too. One person said that it actually increases battery life after a testing.
13. When using the Universal dock with remote the backlight will come on after you change the volume, before the backlight remained off.

WHAT was the solution???

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2.
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes. I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !

Ipod Nano wont update firmware

Hello,
I have a dialup connection and although, I can download video content, and the new apple itunes 7.3, I have not been able to get my ipod nano to update the firmware version from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.
I will either get kicked out during download, or get an error message related to verification of the file.
Is there a separate way to download the file directly, or do I have to use itunes.
thanks

In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
Not really.
Actually it says,
"iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
You will get Restore Instruction 2.

Firmware update nano p

i have firmware version .0.03 on my nano plus. what are the biggest differences on firmware update, i solved no problems yet, so i would now if there are new options or something like that, if i update?!! or where can i read the changes in every update?
kind regards
duczilla

Is there any place that lists firmware changes? I'm curious.
I used to have a I-Ri'ver, and it had a ton of features, it was literally perfect, it couldn't be more perfect, but due to electricity running down the USB wire and toasting my USB controller and the MP3 player, i've said bye bye.
The creative does not much more than the basic functions of CD players, I think they should add SRS to it (like my I-ri'ver had), and the volume doesn't go loud enough.
I also would have appreciated a on-screen browser, but none, even the most cheap MP3 players allow you to vertically scroll through your music - I know the screen is small, but 3 lines of titles is possible.
oh, and my I-Ri'ver did visulizations (yes, it was black and white)

New Zen 8GB crashed during firmware update; now I can't get it to reboot or connect to a compu

I went and exchanged my "problematic white screen" ZEN 8GB for a new one this evening. When I came home, I attached the new unit to my computer and started to perform the required firmware upgrades. The upgrades downloaded fine, but after the installation started, they seemed to freeze. I waited for an hour before I did anything, but finally had to assume that the update had malfunctioned and would never finish on its own. At that point I clicked "cancel" in the window monitoring the upgrade installation, and thought I could just start the process anew. Unfortunately, my computer no longer recognizes the ZEN when it's plugged into a USB port.
I rebooted my computer, just in case that was the problem, but it still can't find the ZEN when searching for devices to AutoUpdate. As for the Zen itself, I can turn it on and off, but the screen remains black (i.e., no info on screen). If I reset it, the screen flashes the word "Creative" only. If I try to do a Recovery, I can't get any text to appear on the screen. I can't even reformat the ZEN via my computer because they're no longer speaking. I assume that the interrupted firmware installation caused this problem, and that the ZEN just doesn't have enough of an operating system installed to work properly. Is there any fix for this that I can tackle myself Or, is it back to the store to return this one, too I have noticed a lot of white screen flashings as I've been working with the new ZEN, so perhaps this just wasn't meant to be. Any words of advice are certainly appreciated, however.

Same happened to me and I only had the thing a few hours. I may leave it connected overnight to see if the battery needs charging but if nothing happens it's going back. I've tried plenty of suggestions. The Creative screen flashes on when I plug it in but then just sits there. Reseting does nothing and how can you do anything to it if it's not recognised by the PC. Vista did see it before the update attempt. Wondered whether to throw XP back on.
Do I have to resort to the new ipod Nano
OK I've done it. Somewhere on this forum it said to disconnect the Zen from the PC.
Now at the same time, press and hold the play/pause button, put a pin into the reset button and hold down the on/off switch (yes all 3 in that order at the same time). Recovery mode came on and I tried to uninstall the firmware update from previously - it didn't do it but I updated the latest firmware again anyway and this time it worked. I guess the last attempt didn't take.

Hi. I have a Ipod Nano 4g. (actually my husbands.. but anyway) he will load it to his computer and it starts updating, recognizes it.. everything looks perfect then after about 4 songs sometimes 3 or 8.. but generally within minutes it stops updating and says "cant read or write to this disk" something like that. The restoring didnt help.
Its a desktop computer with XP on it.. any suggestions?

just checking. have you worked through the possibilities from this document?

Can I use Zen Nano firmware in my N200? Also battery cover replaceme

I was looking for a firmware update for my N200 and noticed it hadn't been updated since February. The N200 isn't even listed in the menu of products. The Nano and Nano Plus were listed separately, however, and the Nano has been updated this month. Can I use it in my N200? I've searched this forum and read you cannot use Nano Plus firmware in an N200, but the Nano is listed separately so I thought maybe it was a rebadged N200. Thanks!
Also, my battery cover broke. How can I go about getting a replacement? I looked through the online store and accessories, but didn't see anything.Message Edited by bookends on 06-22-2006 2:36 AM

The last update for the N200 added Thai support for the display.
The last update for the Nano Plus added Chinese and Japanese language support. This might not be of interest to most, but it is to me. I am also always interested in improvements in firmware revisions no matter how small. I also don't see a comprehensi've changelog, just a "changes since last version." The N200 and Nano Plus are basically identical, but why does the Nano Plus continue to get firmware revisions the N200 does not? There are obvious improvements the Nano Plus benefits from that the N200 does not. It doesn't make sense to me.

2.0 Firmware update: router & car connection successes, failures & warning

1. I found out that my Touch doesn't see the network on my Airport extreme 802.11n operating on 5GHz in a mixed Airport Extreme network. It does, however, see & connect to an attached Airport extreme 802.11g operating on 2.4GHz (with WPA2). Conclusion: Maybe the Touch can't connect to routers operating on 5GHz. Has anyone had any success with routers operating on 5GHz?
2. After installing the firmware update, my Touch stopped working with my car's Alpine iPod radio that I had been using for over a year with the Touch without any problems. It detected the iPod, but kept on "searching" without any success. I'll try another iPod tomorrow, but I'm sure the radio is OK. That's a problem as I doubt that the radio manufacturers will come up with software updates to accommodate Apple's iPod firmware updates. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?

No video and audio dropouts with my 2G touch. 2G Nano works fine. Alpine Tech help's pointing the finger to Apple.

IPod Nano Firmware v1.1

Where, oh where can one find a list of bugs fixed by the new Nano firmware v1.1 update?

What you really want is the list of bugs introduced.
There's one that's really annoying me: when I hit the centre button to get to the ratings screen the user interface often freezes for a few seconds. When it does eventually go to the ratings screen it ends up in a bizarre state that pressing the centre button doesn't take you back to the main screen again, instead it scrolls the screen sideways to reveal the ratings screen again. This never used to happen.

Problem with Nano after Updating

I recently bought an iPod Nano (Model MA005LL). When I first tried to put songs into it from iTunes it seemed like it worked - iTunes recognized it and successfully transferred the files. Then I noticed that couple of purchased songs didn't make it to my Nano's Playlist. I realized that I had to update the iPod Firmware. So, I downloaded & installed the latest Updater on my PC (running Win2K).
That's when the problem happened - during the update process, both my PC and Nano froze. So, I had no choice but to disconnect the Nano and kill the updater process. Since then neither does my iTunes recognize my Nano nor does the updater.
I think my PC recognizes it because whenever I disconnect the USB chord, the PC complains that I unplugged a device without stopping it first. Also, whenever I try to open Windows Explorer, it behaves extremely slow; whenever I plug it out, explorer goes back to normal.
I have tried ALL the 5 Rs and nothing works - the updater freezes everytime I try to use it with the iPod; so I can't restore it using the updater.
Another strange thing is that when I click on About, it not only says zero Songs & Photos, it also says 0 KB for Capacity & Available. The version does say 1.2 though. Also, the Format says Unknown.
So, at this point of time, my Nano is pretty much useless. I would really appreciate if anybody could please help me fix it such that I don't need to take it back to the store.

look on page 16(Help Nano 2g update problem) and if that does not help there is a really good one that I used myself on page 20(Problem with the update) which has a really good step by step process that returned mine to perfect working condition.

Ist gen nano firmware?

ITunes is trying to update the software on my nano from 1.2 to 1.3, but it tells me it can't because the firmware is corrupt.
Where can i download new firmware from, and how do I install it onto the nano?
I've tried all the resetting suggestions on the apple site, they don't seem to work.
Any other suggestions??
Thanks very much.

replying to Starfire1975
I don't have any of the software you mentioned. I have Zone Alarm but it gives iTunes permission so I don't see that affecting it.
... oddly enough, just this very weekend i've seen a case where Zone Alarm was producing this message. see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3477521#3477521
by way of experiment, does the firmware update go through properly if you disable Zone Alarm temporarily?

Firmware updates without using iTunes

I have had significant problems in the past using the iTunes software and how it interacts with other things on my computer. As such, I won't install it on a computer that I care about these days. On the other hand, I would like to update the firmware on my ipod (like the clock is now screwed up with the timezone changes) but don't want iTunes to do it.
Any pointers on how to do the firmware update without that? I've been digging all over as I used to have an independent installer, but now can't seem to find it anywhere on the web site.
Marcos

rrm,
I got to Marcos' post by searching "dialup update." It seems that several others are in the same boat as me--having a dialup connection and faced with a lengthy download for a firmware update--or drag my G3 Imac into work--so there really is no obscrure ftp site where you can download the update, take it home and drag into the library?
