Nano Scratches vs. Video iPod Scratches

Which one is more prone to scratching, or are they equally vulnerable? I'm thinking about getting this kind because my nano's getting scratched just sitting on a microfiber. Is this one coated in some kind of anti-scratch material?

I messed up.
the plastic the ipod came in came off after 4 days. i usually leave the ipod in the case almost 24/7 and then i lost it. now i have nothing and there are a lot of scratches on my ipod. two are on the screen that are visible at all angles. i ordered a invis. shield TWO weeks ago but its still not here so thats great. i dont see why apple cant make it in a material that doesnt scratch so easily. ive had my razr phone for more then a year and it has no scratches at all! i keep it in my pocket, but if i put my ipod there then i wouldent even be able to see the screen there would be so many scratches. i think its ******** that. 1. no wall charger is uncluded. 2. the battery indicator is off by about 25% almost all the time. 3. the ipod material scratches so easily.
can anyone tell me something to clean the ipod screen that might actually get scratches off?

Video Ipod Scratched Screen Refab?

My video Ipod, which is nearly 2 years old now, has a badly scratched screen. I remember seeing an infomercial years ago where this solution was put on eye glasses and it took care of the surface scratches. I don't know if it actually worked but I wonder if there is something like that for the Ipod? I know I heard other people mention the screen scratched easily when they first came out but I don't know if the issue was ever addressed by Apple or a 3rd party.
I love my Ipod but watching clear video through scratches is annoying.

Example of what I mean...

Does the new Video iPod scratch as easily as the old?

I'm thinkig aobut getting a new 80gb Video Ipod to replace my "old" 30 GB video iPod. Does the new version scratch as easily as the old?

I've been to Bestbuy and Circuit City also, no scratches on any of the new video iPods yet. They must have switched to a scratch resistant plastic for the screens. I've looked at the new video iPods at the Apple store, Bestbuy, and Circuit City and none show the slightest scuff after a few weeks. The only scratch I saw was where someone intentionally damaged one of the screens with a knife or something.

Exchange my broken nano for a video ipod?

The play/pause button on my 10-day-old nano stopped working so I used the online form to request warranty support. I shipped it today in the box they sent me.
I'd actually like a video ipod instead of a (scratch-prone) nano back - does Apple let people do this? How would a guy in Canada go about speaking to someone in authority about it? (I returned my nano through an online process; there was no phone number that I could find.)

Hey afw,
You're a little confused about what other people were doing. They weren't sending in for repair, and getting new models- they were RETURNING their iPods (according to the return policy of where they bought it- with Apple, you have 14 days), and buying different ones instead.
If you send your iPod in for repair, you will get the EXACT same model back as you sent in- there is NO WAY around this.
And, if you have an engraved iPod, the 14 day return policy doesn't apply- it is unreturnable (though, under warranty, and of course repairable).

8 GB Nano vs 30 GB Video Ipod

These are the same price. I'm trying to decide which to purchase. Are their any reasons other than size that I would choose the Nano over the Video Ipod with lots of storage?

The Nano is also flash based vs. a hard drive in the video models. Flash memory is much more expensive than hard drives so this is why an 8GB flash player costs the same as a much larger capacity hard drive player. The benefit to a flash player is that it has no moving parts and will likely never fail. I've seen very few comments regarding Nanos failing. The most common hardware failure on hard drive players is the hard drive.

Video Ipod X-coating Scratch resistance

So i came across this site, it offers a varieties of customisation you can do with your video ipod or ipod of other generations.
this site has one unique thing that caught me eyes. The
X-coating. Not everyday you see something with a name of the letter X.
So i research what it was and it says that the coating is a scratch resistance for the ipods.
I called them up and ask them about it, they said that it IS a resistance coating for the ipod but you have to send in your ipod for it to be coated or buy the ipod from them with the extra coating on it.
any thoughts on this X-coating material? any1 used it ?

looks intersting.
but for all i know they just put on another layer of either clear acrylic to protect the surface, or maybe they replace the original screen and put a face plate made out of lexan instead.
until i they give me a how they do it kind of thing, i wouldn't go for it.

How can I get rid of ALL the scratches on my iPod without ruining it?

My sister totally scrached up my iPod by dragging it around wood floors. It still works perfectly normal but I dont want scratches on it. Is there anything I can buy to fix the scratches?
Windows XP

I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

"Key and coin SCRATCH test" video clip!!!

For anyone wondering or worried about your iPod scratching, I made a video that shows off the strength of the Invisible Shield protective film that I bought for my 60GB 5G iPod.
The video contains close ups, key scratching, and a ziploc bag full of keys and coins to "simulate" an iPod inside your pocket. In the end, my iPod remained scratch-free.
Here's the video:

Don't sue Apple if you want a scratch-free iPod... just buy a good case
So what do you think?

Hi J. Charles Holt1,
Nope, the key didn't leave any scratches. It was only the light reflecting on the skin oil from my hand that the key wiped off the iPod. I noticed the same thing after the ziploc test and used my thumb to wipe off the oil.
Here's some close-up pictures of my iPod that I just took:

Scratches in my Ipod

I have an ipod nano and somebody told me about it has problems with scratches that appear all over the ipod and I know that apple is changing those ipods my question is: If its true what could I do my ipod is a gift so I do not have the ticket and the second problem is that I live in Mexico, any body could tell me what can I do? .

Same problem here --- Phantom scratches on my Nano. I purchased my Nano on September 29, 2005. My car is 4 years older than that and has less scratches! From what I understand Apple is facing a class action lawsuit in regards to the mass number of Nanos that are so easily scratched. It seems unfair to me, as a consumer, Apple takes our money for a product we think is backed by a good company but doesn't actually produce a long lasting product or even a short term lasting product!!
I'm extremely frustrated with the service "not" received from Apple. The ordering process was the only easy part because they're taking your money. Once they have your money, their website is next to impossible to navigate!
I ordered an I-Tunes gift card with my Nano purchase, the gift card was sent to me "unactivated"; Therefore, it was useless!!
If I had to do it again ... I wouldn't. I would purchase a similar product from someone else and probably for less money.
Overall --- Very unsatisfied customer!

How to get youtube watch in video ipod nano?

The iPod nano cannot use YouTube. It cannot connect to the Internet at all.

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

Can I sync my Nano 6G and an iPod 5G, and keep video podcasts off my Nano?

Can I use my Macbook to sync both a Nano 6G and an iPod Touch 5G, and specify which podcasts go on which device? I don't want video podcasts on my Nano.
Thank you.

Yes. How you configure podcasts to sync to one device (from under each iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes) will not affect how the configuration settings of the other.

Video iPod Nano doesn't work when plugged in anymore

As of recently, whenever I plug my Video iPod Nano into my Hi-Fi the screen locks up. The music still plays through the Hi-Fi, and I can control the volume via the unit however the screen completely is frozen, and unresponsive to any movement on the clicker. It worked fine before, and this now a recent happening, and I have a feeling the latest update to the iPod Nano knocked it out.

I'm not not sure why this question is flagged as "answered".
I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior. If my nano (3G) is put into my HiFi while in play mode, it will continue playing through the HiFi, but the nano screen will freeze and its controls will become unresponsive. Only the HiFi volume can be controlled via the HiFi top buttons. Ditto for the remote - only the volume controls function (although the HiFi green LED responds to all remote commands as normal).
If the nano is inserted into the HiFi in menu mode, it just remains unresponsive. When taken out of the HiFi dock, it will invariably remain unresponsive for 30-40 seconds, then suddenly light up and return to normal.
In fact, my nano (3G) has always acted this annoying way with our HiFi - which continues to work flawlessly (extra menues and all) with the sundry older iPod models that we own.
Yes, I have tried resetting and restoring the nano (now at firmware version 1.1) and the HiFi no avail.
I'm curious to learn whether anyone has actually gotten a nano (3G) to work properly with a HiFi.
P.S. Great product the HiFi - can't for the good of me figure out why Apple discontinued it... It's truly adding insult to injury if this thing of beauty no longer works properly with the newer iPods.

Video IPod & IPod Nano won't work on Vista 64-bit system

I recently updated my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system on my Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad PC. Somehow, I have a problem using my Video Ipod & Ipod Nano. After downloading the latest Itune+Quicktime & plugging in the USB cord connecting my IPods, i got this blue screen & different error message. When I reboot my PC, it won't run my OS unless I unplugged my Ipods. I tried istalling the old IPod software that comes with the IPod without any luck. Any idea on what's causing this problem? Are there any patch for Vista 64-bit that make the OS work with IPod?

Hi,
I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
Anyone have a solution to the problem?
