Nano will not operate like the users guide says

I bought a new Nano for my wife and so far I cannot get it to work properly. I've been going by the users guide and nothing works like it say it should. Guide says to swipe right to go back to home screen, cursor goes up. Guide says to hold on touch pad and will go back to home screen, nothing happens. Guide says to swipe left to go back one page, cursor goes down. If you try to rotate the screen then it will take you back a page, somtimes, usually this takes at least 5 tries. There is nothing simple about this new Nano. There is even a voice that comes on and talks whenever the ipod does anything. And I can't find anywhere to turn it off. Any help will be appreciated.

Is this the manual you are referring to?

I think you have somehow turned on the VoiceOver functionality, which is a feature to help disabled people operate the Nano. If this is the case, the normal gestures won't work like you think they should.
If your iPod is unresponsive and you see a box around the screen, VoiceOver may be turned on and you must use VoiceOver gestures to turn it off. You can turn off the VoiceOver feature by following the instructions to turn off VoiceOver gestures on page 63 of the manual. You will need to use two fingers to turn off VoiceOver manually. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly.
If you are near an Apple Store, it may be worthwhile to have someone at the store help you with this.

    I plugged my ipod into my computer to load up new tunes and it froaze on the time I dad connected it with the message 'do not disconnect' on the screen. Despite disconnecting and reconnecting it and ensuring it was charged up it will not operate. The 'lock' symbol is showing at the top of the screen even when I have moved the lock switch. I have been using my ipod for several years with no similar fault. What is the problem/solution?

    I would first try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to restore the iPod from backup

    I just subscribed to imatch while logged in to iTunes on a mac computer that belongs to someone else. (I was logged in to MY iTunes)  my iPhone will not turn on the MATCH function, saying I am no subscribed. I've powered off and on.  can anyone help?

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem. Itunes reports that it's uploaded all the music etc.
    When I turn the match function on, it says "you are not currently subscribed to itunes match".
    I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    my ipad2 will not connect to the internet, it says that it "unable to join"...but my laptop is connected to the internet.... i don't understand why all of a sudden it stopped connecting it dosent make sense.

    hmm, well I would say that raises the possibility of an issue with your ipad, and lessens one with your router.

    i have an ipad 2 the itunes program worked fine at first but now it will not connect to the store. it says 'secure link to itune store failed' i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. what do i do?

    Doublechecking before proceeding. Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

    Hi,
    Do you know which test your notebook failed?  If you don't know, try the following.
    Shutdown the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

  • Adobe Tech told me HONESTLY that Adobe Connect will NOT work like the Adobe site demo

    I am seconds away from subscribing to gotomeeting.com (Which is a GREAT and REALLy easy to use product).
    I really want the white board featues, etc. At first I could NOT connect at all...then with an Adobe TEch (FROM INDIA) online with me (very patronizing to me also, by the way). I could connect and when I clicked on "Share My Screen" the adobe connect window minimizes itself and becomes useless to me.
    I was told that the tech COULD see my screen. I asked how I would know that. He ACTUALLY told me that the ONLY way I could see the CONNECT window and see all the participants, let other share screens and see and use the whiteboarding is to GET A SECOND COMPUTER!!!!
    I HAVE TO USE TWO COMPUTERS in order to use the features demo'd in the demo video.
    Isn't that the MOST obsurd thing you could tell someone. AND if it is true, what a piece of carp program.
    Too bad, the product does not remotely work like the demo
    AND even worse, the tech support has NO IDEA how to use this product and told me IN THESE WORDS that the product DOES NOT REALLY DO WHAT THE DEMO SAYS IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What a nightmare!

    Wow ... well all I can say is I've been using Connect for 2 years for remote training and for webinars and all sorts of stuff, and in general I'm thrilled with it.  I've used the freebie ConnectNow service (via Acrobat.com), the $39.95/mo. Connect Standard account (hosted, up to 15 participants), and for the past 1.5 years, the Connect Pro account, also hosted.
    When you are sharing your screen, you don't see any of the Connect "room" interface; all you see is your screen. This is how most of the services work in my experience. If you're just showing a Powerpoint demo that you've uploaded to your account previously, then you *can* see the panels etc. in the Connect room.
    Almost all of my demos/webinars/training involved me sharing my screen, so yes, I do connect a second laptop to the room, logging on as a guest, so I can see what my participants see, and I can see what the lag time is. I don't think that's out of the ordinary.
    I started using Connect after nightmares with WebEx and other services. It's really important to me that everything works equally on Macs as well as Windows; and so far Connect is great that way.
    I do agree the Support is a pain and Connect is missing some features. But all in all it's been nice and stable for me and my clients. You should check out http://connectusers.com; there are wonderful forums and expert users and tutorials over there.

  • I bought nano 7th generation and docking station adapter, now nano reads  Unsupported Acccessory is not supported" and nano will not operate in IPOD docking station??

    My ipod nano 7th generation requires a docking adapter which I bought however when connected to docking station a message appears "unsupported accessory is not supported" how do I correct this so it will play?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • IPod nano will not connect and the Apple logo screen stays up

    Hello,
    Earlier today I shut my iPod nano off normally (by holding the pause/play button). Later, when I went to listen to it again, I found it wouldn't turn on. I tried resetting it, and I got the low-battery signal, so I plugged it in. The thing is, the Apple logo screen is illuminated and I cannot get it off that screen, and normally when I plug my iPod in, iTunes comes up. iTunes didn't come up and it says there is nothing plugged in. What should I do?
      Windows XP  

    Okay.
    If the Apple logo is not going away and the iPod won't get to the main menu (when not connected to the computer), try what those links suggest.
    If your iPod does not get to the main menu or say Do Not Disconnect, it will not be recognized by the computer. You have to get the iPod to say Do Not Disconnect, show the main menu, or just get past the Apple logo before it will be recognized. The above links will help you get the iPod get past the Apple logo.
    The iPod cannot be recognized by iTunes or the computer if it is stuck at the Apple logo.
    Finally, don't connect the iPod while the iPod preferences in iTunes are open.

  • Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.

    Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.  The Mac's take the DVD's and it sounds like it's trying to run the DVD.  After about 10 seconds the Mac just spits it out.  I am using the newest version of the Beta Yosemite OS X 10.10.3 Version.  I'm a little more than a novice user, just to keep in mind... Can anyone help me fix this problem?

    Aside from running the beta (and not being allowed to discuss anything at all about it anywhere including these forums), I have found that some commercial DVDs (and actually also music CDs) are coded such that they will not play in any device that could ostensibly be used to copy the content due to DRM/copyright issues. The DVDs played just fine in both of my DVD players hooked up to my TVs and the music CDs worked in my stereo system.
    Have you tried to play those in a regular DVD player?

  • Timing of text box will not appear.  My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

    Timing of text box not working.  I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear.  And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show.   Help anyone.

    Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
    Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
    If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
    I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?
