Nano Software V2?

Hi There,
Ia there any plans to offer a downloadable update to V2 software for a 1st generation Nano with the new search and letter features..

No one here works for Apple we are all just users like yourself.
As such, no one knows what Apple's plans are except Apple themselves, and they never divulge details of forthcoming software updates.
We can only wait and see.
Meantime, why not send them your request via the feedback form?

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

ITunes 7.6 won't update my nano software to 1.2

I just bought the Nike+ and I have the black 4GB first gen. nano. The software version that is on it right now is 1.1 and for the receiver to work I know that I need 1.2
I updated iTunes to 7.6 thinking it would also update my nano software but it didn't. When I try to hit "check for updates" in iTunes under my nano summary it says "the iPod software update server could not be contacted". I know that my connection is fine, iTunes store will connect and the support page will connect from iTunes also.
Under the start menu I found the Apple Software UPdate icon and clicked on that. I'm not sure exactly what software it checks for updates, but when it is completed running it says that all of my software is up-to-date.
So I did some searching on Apple's website and found an old iPod Updater from 2006 that would probably update my software but it won't work because I have the newest iTunes and updates have to be done through that.
Without updating my nano to version 1.2 I know that I won't be able to use my Nike+ so if anyone could please help me I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thank you!
I also posted this under the Nike+ category for first generation nanos but I wasn't sure where I would get the best results.

+When I try to hit "check for updates" in iTunes under my nano summary it says "the iPod software update server could not be contacted". I know that my connection is fine, iTunes store will connect and the support page will connect from iTunes also.+
With that one, try the following document:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server
(If that box is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking, and clicking OK.)
EDIT: Sorry, the link in there to the Vista version of the instructions seems to be broken. Top find that LAN settings dialog in Vista, go "Start > Control Panel", click "Classic View", click "Internet Options", click the "Connections" tab, and click the LAN Settings button down the bottom.

BUG: - iPod Nano Software - Clock - Arizona no longer in MST

This is a pretty simple one. Since Arizona started observing Daylight Savings time, they also now observe PST clocks which the iPod Nano software does not reflect.
I'm willing to bet this is a bug across more products than just the iPod Nano software.

I'd be willing to bet that Apple considers the
updated behavior to be the "Correct" behavior.
According to the Apple Nano Features Guide:
"Turn on backlight - If the backlight timer is set to Off, press and hold Menu to turn on the backlight"
I would argue that the issue I am experiencing after update is not the correct behavior. Every iPod made, save the shuffle, functioned this same way: hold the menu button for 1-2 seconds to enable backlight.

Updated Nano software - Library "grayed out"

Hi,
Hoping someone can help. I have a shuffle and nano and have had no trouble to date synching with my windows xp itunes.
Tonite I installed the latest version of the nano software (1.10.2006), and now when I double click the nano icon in itunes, all of the songs and playlists are grayed out. I can update the ipod, but can't click on anything within the list. For example, if I wanted to delete a song on the nano, I can no longer do it.
Any thoughts?

is your nano in disk mode?

Ipod Nano software on 20gig iPod

Yo, do u reckon that the iPod Nano software with the world clock etc will be avalable for the iPod 20gig?

Chris,
Noone is able to answer that. In fact, speculating is conflicting with the term of use on the Apple Discussions. It will get a topic locked or removed by the moderators.
But you can give feedback to Apple here.

Nano software not installing with usb 1.1

I'm having difficulty getting the initial setup to run on my Windows XP computer. I apparently have USB 1.1, the Apple software during installation will tell me i need to format my Nano, then after an hour or so tell me an error occured and to try again?
Any advice?

Problem Updating 1st Gen Nano software from 1.2 to 1.3

Try this as a separate thread...
I have a first gen nano with software version 1.2 (from the 6-28-06 update) and when I plug it into my usb port, i tunes 7.0.1.8 launches to sync. This is as it should be; however this action gives a prompt to update from version 1.2 to 1.3, which I wanted to do.
The problem is that after a short while, I get a message that state that the nano can not be updated because some of the files on it are being used by another program. This is not true as best as I can , other than itunes itself being open.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated...

Hey, tampa!
That's something I was going to mention, if the other suggestions didn't help.
Try this:
Go to Task Manager.
Under the Processes tab, end "iTunes.exe". unplugg all the other USB devices from your computer, reset your iPod (hold the Menu and center buttons together for 7 seconds), then connect it again.
Then, I was also going to say that this could be drive letter confusion in Windows. Have you tried assigning your iPod a different drive letteR? try these steps:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device / Changing drive letter
We'll see what happens with this..

Error when installing ipod nano software

When I try to load the software for my ipod nano I receive the following error
1601:unable to install installshield scripting runtime
I have tried all of the solutions offered but still no luck

OMG! You could sub-title this: "Why Windows Blows" ... I bought a new iPod for my wife - I have to install the sw on the loser windows box because she uses that box.
The iPod (cd) and/or the iTunes (apple.com download) install blows up either under my admin/unrestricted account, or as her limited-user account with the errors described above. I've followed all the links, etc., and jumped through all the hoops but I still get the %#$! 1607 error.
When I try, as a windows "super-user" <snort> to reset the perms on the windows/Installer directory, it gives me the appearance of allowing me to uncheck the box and take the directory out of read-only more, but it doesn't actually reset the directory permissions.
Since windows isn't smart enough to have an equivalent of a chmod 775 command....it looks like we're hosed.
I'm subscribing to the thread in the hopes that someone can actually figure out how to install this software on Windows successfully....until then, I guess she'll have to manage her iPod on my one of my Macs if it will support multiple iPods....
Hey ... Apple - how about itunes/ipod support for linux?
Sigh...frustrated beyond belief; I feel so unclean every time I have to use a windows system...

Zen Nano Software CD - Is It Necessary on

Must I install the software if I just drag and drop using XP? What functionality is lost, if any, by not installing the software?
Thanks

I would probably install "zen nano explorer", which will rip or convert tracks for you. You do not need this specific functionality, but it also includes a feature that will let you order tracks within a folder (which you can also set up in this software or elsewhere) and then rename them to begin with a new track number in the filename (leaves the tag alone since the Nano only uses the song title of the tag). This is a useful program to create a sort of "playlist" of tracks in a specific order without doing a lot of convoluted stuff yourself in renaming filenames (which is how the Nano sorts tracks).

IPod nano software + windows 7

Recently I got a new laptop which has windows 7 on it. When I installed iTunes on it, it worked fine but then when I installed the software to connect my first generation iPod nano to my computer I started having problems.
After installation when I open iTunes a message comes up saying "Software required for communicating with iPods not installed correctly. Do you want to repair iTunes?"
After it does the repair iTunes will open but when I connect my iPod another message saying "Software required for communicating with iPod not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPods software."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the software countless times and it still doesn't work. I have also gone back and made sure all parts of iTunes such as Bonjour were uninstalled as well. Nothing seems to work. Recently I also reinstalled iTunes and my iPod software on another computer and it worked fine. The only difference was my other computer was windows xp.
Help?

UPDATE:
While the iPod Nano would not even turn on in the two computers I tried earlier at home (and posted above about), when I plugged it in on my work computer (PC, Windows 7), the iPod Nano turned on fine as a brand new set up on this computer's iTunes and now it is working.
Very strange that it would crap out at home every time even though I changed the drive letter and followed all the other instructions.
I have to yet check if I can sync at home or not or if it will ask me to restore again!

Have a G4 software 9.2 trying to install Nano Software

Just got a Nano and the cd that comes with the box is not working. Can not install software. Already have iTunes in computer and when I connect my Nano does not show on computer or iTunes. Please Help. Thank you.

Don't bother trying to install the software that comes on the disk. Think of it as a backup. It's really only there for people who don't have internet connections.
Download the latest version of iTunes here and install that.
If that isn't enough to help you see your nano, then check out this page
Hope it helps.

Damaged Nano software?

Hello, I recently bought an iPod Nano 8gb 6th-Generation for $10 from one of my friends who attempted to install 3rd party software onto it. It seems that he managed to wipe most of the system information on it, as my laptop detects that it has no files/folders on it (even the hidden Ipod_Control folder is gone). iTunes still manages to detect it as an iPod Nano, so I tried Restoring it, but it stays stuck in Recovery Mode (it would restore the iPod, the iPod would reset, then it would go straight into recovery mode). What baffles me most is that the whole iPod color scheme (except for the start-up Apple logo) is changed to black and white, with simple icons. It can still go into diagnostic mode, but the volume buttons don't move the cursor anywhere; pressing the Sleep/Lock button turns the iPod screen off. I will post pictures of the iPod's weird color scheme at request. Any help would be greatly appreciated, unless it's to "run a magnet across the back". Thanks

No telling what that 3rd party software did to your $10 iPod Nano. Take it to your local Apple Store or an AASP. See if they can figure it out.
Your iPod is probably still under warranty if it's a 6th Generation. However, by installing 3rd party software the damage may not be covered.
