Nano Games on iTouch

If I purchase a nano game from the ipod games section in iTunes will it work on my iTouch. Or can you only put on Apps

"These games are compatible with the iPod nano (3rd and 4th generation), iPod classic and iPod (5th generation) only. They cannot be played on your computer, nor are they compatible with other iPod models including the iPhone and the iPod touch."
stated clearly at the top of the Games section of the itunes store. well done for asking though, people have made the mistake before and wasted money by buying games that won't work.

Deleting nano games?

Is it possible to delete the games(solitaire etc..) on your nano? I have been trying to, so I can free up some more room. The 500 song thing is definatley not true. I wish they would change the advertising on the song capacity.

The 500 song thing is definatley not true. I wish they would change the advertising on the song capacity.
Here's the math for you. (I'll use a 4GB Nano as an example since I can cut & paste from a previous post.)
Apple states that 1GB = 1 billion bytes.
4GB Nano is advertised as having 4 billion bytes of capacity. (4,000,000,000 bytes)
Since a true binary gigabyte is actually 1,073,741,824 bytes, that would mean that a 4GB Nano actually has about 3.72GB of unformatted capacity. 4,000,000,000 / 1,073,741,824 = 3.72GB
Since the iPod software, extras and formatting take up some space, you are left with slightly less than 3.72GB of space for your music. Let's ballpark the iPod software to be about 20MB... which is somewhat close. That leaves about 3.70GB for your content.
A 4minute 128kbps AAC file will be just about 3.75MB
240 seconds * 128 kilobits per second = 30,720,000 bits.
30,720,000 bits = 3,840,000 bytes = 3.75MB
3.70GB = 3,972,844,749 bytes
3.75MB = 3,932,160 bytes
3,972,844,749 / 3,932,160 = 1010 songs.
If a 4GB Nano can hold about 1000 songs, then a 2GB Nano will hold about half that. Half of 1000 in my book is 500.

RE: Help needed w/ iPod Nano game issues

I have an 8GB 4th generation iPod nano, I've downloaded a game for it and cannot sync it to my iPod. The game shows up in my itunes library in the applications tab, but not were the games tab is. I also don't have a games tab under my iPod in the devices tab. I've tried to drag and drop,but to no avail,as well as manual and auto synchronizing. If anybody could help with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thnx R1PP3rJack

what game is it?
some games aren't for the nano... just to make sure you downloaded one that's compatible, what's it called?

Applications and Games for iTouch

Why can't I download new applications for the iTouch, Like notes, tasks, games, Wireless access point finder, etc...

so at this point, my new itouch is good for videos, music, etc. but i can't take picts with it, i can't download apps that might be useful, i can't use like a pda, except in the most basic way. and i am limited to 16g on it with no expansion slot. i have been a long time mac user...actually i still have my first mac...but why, why does apple always have a closed system...i love this thing..but why limit it. i am very depressed.

Ripped music in library disappeared when I replaced original Nano with new iTouch

I had an original 2Gb Nano that Apple replaced with a new 8 Gb iTouch a few months ago. When I synced the new iTouch with iTunes, all of the ripped music I had in the library that was also on the original Nano disappeared from the library. How do I find this music on my computer (same one I was using with the original Nano) and get it into the iTunes library once again? Thanks for any assistance!

Ok, it magically came back. :? I really don't know what happened, but I'll leave this topic open for a day in case anyone eles is having a similar situation and someone would be kind enough to come in here and explain either that a) I'm more technologically impaired than the majority of the population under the age of 10 or b) this is a common thing and this is what happened. . .so I don't get ticked off the next time it happens.

IPod Classic/nano Games

Hey, does the iTunes store still sell "Click Wheel Games"? I want some for my iPod nano 3rd Generation

Sorry, but it looks like they have removed the Clickwheel games as a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't look like they will return it either.

Is there a way to "reset" the games "played count" on the 5th Gen iPod Nano

I was just looking through my new iPod Nano (16 GB), and happened to select
all three games (Klondike, Maze and Vortex), but never played them, just looked and then
quit out of each game. Now I have a "game played" count on all three games.
I'm not sure if I may hang onto this iPod Nano or possibly look into an iTouch.
If I sell this new one on eBay, I would like to know how to reset the "game counts"
back to 0 or the original "default" of no game counts showing.
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, why would Apple even need to show a "game played count" on any of
the iPod Nano games ... very weird.

I think the only way you can reset play counts on games is if you do a full restore of the ipod. But, then again, if you plan on selling it on ebay, it'd be probably be best if you do the restore, that way it'd be like opening a brand new ipod for the new owner.
As for why Apple would want to keep track of game counts...I have no idea.

Why is the Nike apps different on the iTouch and iPod nano

Can someone explain why Apple put different apps on iTouch and iPod nano and call it only Nike +. There are obvious difference in the apps. I want the app that stores heart information...but the Nike + app on the iTouch only records distance ran. Why not make one app that does both?
what is the deal and can I load the Nike + app that comes on the nano on my iTouch 4gen?
Will the Nike + app for the iTouch be upgrade to work with the Polar heart band and Nike + Gym?

Yes and Yes.
When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
Notifications view - on
Today view - on
Today summary - on
Calendar day view - off
Reminders - on
Stocks - off
Tomorrow summary - off
Sort by Time
The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Just replaced my nano with the new itouch. Easiest way to re-sync?

Guys-
I'd like to be able to switch from my Nano to my ipod and simply import all my songs (Apple purchased and cd's and podcasts) from my Nano into my new itouch. What's the easiest way to do this?
Alternatively, can I still keep the same music on both my Nano and my itouch? I mean, I purchased both devices and I purchased my music and it's still on my same pc, right?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
You can certainly sync multiple devices to one iTunes library. iTunes should be able to tell the difference between devices, to maintain differences in name, syncing preferences, etc. When you connect the touch, it should behave similarly to the nano, in that you can have iTunes sync everything in the iTunes library to it for you.

Ipod Nano 5G games

I was using the Userguide to download and syn games. It says, after logging into App Store I have to select iPod Games, this I couldnt find.
Could someone plz guide me through exact steps to download and sync games to my ipod. (An example would help a lot )
Thanks

I was kind of disappointed by the lack of 5G specific games. There seems to be a lot of games for the Ipod Touch and the Iphone but they seem to forget about the 5G.
Am I missing something? Itunes seem to be getting away from the Ipod and supporting more of the higher end devices.
it's not itunes' or apple's choice of what platform to make the games for. they come from individual developers, and since the market is there for the higher end products in greater numbers (as a gaming platform), then it's gonna naturally go that way. on my 5g nano, I'm looking for something to kill time hear and there. but folks with iphones and ipod touches are using it as a small form-factor gaming platform like the ds or psp in many circumstances.
the interface for making games that are able to hold attn for longer periods of time are naturally the ones that have the touchscreen—such as the touch or iphone. and theoretically, I'd argue that both still qualify as ipods (just with more features). from what I could tell, the nano games worked for most of the 3-5g versions, except those that required the accelerometer. there are plenty of games, just not so many that have great interactive interfaces. that's just the nature of the interface itself though. give the next gen nano a touchscreen and it'll grow its gameplay market exponentially. at that point though, I think you lose the appeal of the "little worry about the screen or body" and portability of the nano.
he main point I'll make though is that it's not a decision by apple. they don't make the games themselves. they make the platform and the OS, the developers make the games (and other apps in the case of the touchscreens)

Install games for iPod Nano 4G

Hi,
I know it was possible to download ipod nano games on itunes. But now I can´t find anything. Did apple take them out or what is the reason for this?
Is it possible to download games somewhere else or would this be illigal?
Thanks for every contriboution.

Apple took out the click-wheel games over 2 years ago. If you can find and load them there is nothing illegal about it.
