Nano Full With MP3's On A New PC

I just ordered a Dell.It's on it's way.....The problem is that i got an Ipod Nano full with songs.Is there a way of using the Nano on the new computer without deleting the songs on my ipod?Help!

Connect your iPod to your current computer and change the update setting to "manually manage songs and playlists":
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
If you haven't access to the old computer take care when connecting to the new one and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually

New 4g nano full with 159 songs???

My new 4g nano says the 159 songs I have in my "music" file in itunes equals 4.98 gb. I don't see how. Even when average is maybe 5 mins. per song, it should still not max out with 159 songs. I looked into import settings when trying to figure this out but its over my head. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's probably because you have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac. If you see AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless then those formats are going to take way more space than mp3 or aac, especially the first 2 which are raw uncompressed formats. Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using aac at 128kbps for a 4 minute song.

Problems with mp3 files on my new MacBook

I just received my macbook for college in the fall but i wanted to put a little bit of music on it as well. So, i purchased xtorrent (after hearing how compatible it is with macs) and the 15 dollar license from its website. (it happened when i tried the trial of xtorrent as well, maybe i shouldnt have bought but i know there has to be a fix to it) However, to my dismay after downloading about 200 songs i realized there were about 70 files that i never downloaded. And most of them were only about 30 seconds or less (some were even read as 0:00), just songs from artists i downloaded but songs i did download. A lot of these random songs were also duplicated two or even three times in some cases. This didnt happen im pretty sure when i downloaded an entire album off of xtorrent, but when it was one or two files from an album they would download other parts of the album i never asked for. i tried dealing with it and just deleting the mp3s i didnt dl, however, that was tooooooo annoying and pointless cause they just kept coming. Well if anyone can tell me why this is happening you will basically make my week cause i really want my music now, thanks ( i am new to macs so this could be a simple mistake, but its really weird and its concerning me a lot)
p.s. i know mac os is nearly indestructible when it comes to viruses, but is there really no need for an antivirus software, cause i wouldnt mind buying it if it would save my mac

I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB.

How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod? Please Help Soon.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

New iPod nano, comes with a USB cable and CLIP? Whats it for?

My new ipod 2gb nano comes with a usb cable and a little clip or stand type thing that the nano can sit in and at the bottom has a hole that the usb wire sort of fits through but it isn't made to sit on the desk, its more like a clip of something, any ideas what this is or how to use it?

The extra piece is the adapter for the Universal Dock. The dock has a well in it and there's an adapter for each size of iPod that goes into it.

When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

New Nano compatible with accessories?

Hi,
I just bought accessories for the Nano (a TuneBase device with FM Transmitter) and am about to buy a new Nano in a week.
Is the new Nano about the same size? Will the connecting accessories be compatible with the new ones?
Hopefully they will.
If someone has a new Nano and some previous connecting accessories, thanks to let us know about possible problems.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
According to iLounge in its first look, the headphone port is slightly moved...
iPod nano first look
However, some accessories that use the dock connector and headphone port are being listed as compatible with both on the Apple Store online, so I don't think there is a definitive answer out there right now.

Does anyone know if the new ipod nano come with a camera

Does anyone know if the new ipod nano comes with a camera?

The newest nano is the 7th generation. It does not have a camera. The 8th generation is the next one, for Apple to release whenever they want. We do not know when or what it will have.

Old shuffle did not sync with iTunes 7 so bought new Nano same problem!

Don't waste your time buying new iPod,I just did but the same problems occurring.Itunes 7 won't recognise new Nano I have to right click my computer and re-start iPod service every time to get iPod to appear (yes I do read online help Iv'e even reinstalled windows to no effect, no software clash as iTunes was only software installed). New Nano comes with iPod ver 1.01 but as soon as I get iTunes, to recognize new Nano it tells me to ugrade to ver 1.02,I click to upgrade and iTunes 7 hangs!I can't update and iTunes will not recognize Nano (windows sees it as drive e)so it's real messy loading songs and iTunes 7 hangs on song loadup too!
Look I have a Dell Pentium 4 3.0g processor and 2g memory and 120 g hard drive, so APPLE WHAT THE F?*K IS GOING ON? Yes I read that it's all the users fault yes it is I NEVER SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED APPLE,I SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL UPDATE WAS PROVEN! Gee I can run softimage and games like FEAR but iTunes 7 is the worst piece of software I have ever seen!

Sorry Mitch it didn't work. I can get Nano recognized by right clicking my computer then/manage/services/iPod...by stopping and restarting, then opening itunes Hooray i can at last load songs. BUT THE DIALOG BOX WANTS ME TO UPDATE TO 1.02 BUT IF I START THE UPDATE iTUNES GOES INTO HANG. SIMILARLY IF I CLICK RESTORE IT ALSO GOES INTO HANG!
Folks don't bother updating your hardware until Apple fixes the very broken iTunes.I'm putting it all into the hands of lawyers on Monday!

Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

I have:
Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
works fine, linking is easy, but....
Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
Anyone have any suggestions ?

I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone. My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones. Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

IPod Nano crashes with BMW adapter after 1.3 update

Hi All,
I have a 1st Gen 4G iPod Nano that I have updated to the new firmware version 1.3. The problem is that now when I connect the iPod to the BMW adaptor kit in my car the iPod freezes after approximately 1 hour and will not change play lists or tracks. Then when I unplug the adaptor the iPod is frozen with "BMW okay to disconnect" on the screen. Once resetting, the iPod will go back to normal for approximately one hour and then the error will start over again. Does anyone have a suggestion or is it possible to revert to old firmware?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Here is my update on the issue:
While reconnecting and disconnecting the iPod, I accidentally dislodged the adapter from the stereo which resulted in a service call to BMW to reconnect the adapter.
I ended up purchasing the new Product Red iPod which works fine with the adapter. To sum things up, the fact that I just updated the firmware may not have anything to do with the BMW adapter problems. The BMW adapter is finicky. I have friends with the same adapter in an X3 as well as a Mini Cooper with the same issues; the adapter becomes loose and begins to malfunction.
My recommendation is test your adapter with another iPod and if the problem persists take your car back to BMW to fix the problem.
*Note: Cold weather should not affect how the adapter works because mine has been working fine in -30 degree Celsius weather

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

5th generation iPod nano compatibility with Linux?

I have Linux on my computer is the 5th generation iPod nano compatible with my operating system? Would i need to install a particular program to make it work.

Why not let the customer choose to use iTunes or not ?
Be able to add individual files just by copying them from any computer (any OS, with or without iTunes installed), and use a filesystem browser on the iPod to select which file to play in which directory.
Only Apple would know the answer to this. However, based on the history of the iPod, it seems unlikely that you're going to see this happen. One of the major differentiating features of the iPod is that one doesn't have to mess with a file system browser, it's all handled automatically by iTunes. Now, that's not to say that everyone is going to like players that work this way. Hence, the continuing market for other brands of players.
Please, release a new iPod firmware supporting this feature.
Again, seems very unlikely as it runs counter to the entire Apple design philosophy. However, if you want to make your feelings known to Apple (as opposed to just the fellow users who are going to be seeing this post), submit your feedback here:

Best of luck.

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
