Nano with Nike+ Freezes and Won't Play Podcasts

I found this topic from 1.5 years ago and I'm having the same issue (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1130986&tstart=390) . I can't find anything on a solution for this issue. Does anyone know of a fix? I've been using the work around of starting the Podcast first and then starting the run, but I'm running longer and would like to be able to listen to multiple podcasts.
If I start a playlist from within the Nike+ menu it skips all podcasts. If I start a podcast, then start the Nike+, it works but will freeze up if I fast forward (right arrow) 'too much'. My ipod also locks up every couple of days when I start up a podcast (various podcasts). In fast it's done this since I got it a couple of years ago. I had it replaced by Apple because they thought there might be a problem with the ipod but this one has been doing it for years too.
All I use this ipod for is running (I have a few others that don't support Nike+ - anyone know a way to get Nike+ working on a first get ipod Touch?) so I would like to get this resolved.
I'm training for a marathon so I'll be using this a lot more over the coming months. I appreciate any help and suggestions.
2nd Gen 2GB Silver iPod Nano with latest firmware
OS 10.5.7 with latest iTunes
1st Gen Nike+ receiver (bought when first released) with 3 different sensors

A simple work around is to create a smart playlist. I was having the same problems, plus my nano would freeze when I tried to sync it with iTunes. I didn't try the smart playlist option with older versions of iTunes, but with the newest, it seems to work fine. I can play any and all podcasts in the playlist, move through them and select which I want to listen to while I run, and it finally syncs properly when my run is over. I just had to play with the parameters a bit so the playlist included the podcasts I wanted to listen to while I ran. Here is where I found the tip.

I haven't tried it with audiobooks though. Good luck.

Nano scrambles album pics and won't play vids music or pics nothing works

i bought this ipod brand new about a month ago from apple. It has messed up three times since. What happens is that it just stops working. I can't view any pics, video or listen to music. my cover flow turns each album cover to rondom colors all scrambled up. At the main menue when i go over pics, music or video it shows me the picture. but it won't play anything. When i reset it and put everything back on it it works......for a week or two. I think i will return it but if there is anything i could otherwise do please say so
thanks!!!!!!!!

It just happened to me the same! I bought it two weeks ago and this is the first time i have a problem with it. I was listening to music and suddenly the sound stopped and i wasn't able to see any of the pics, videos... anything. The menu and everything else seemed to work though.
I reset it and now it's working perfectly again but i don't know for how long.

Project freezes and won't play on CS3, works on preview

I am using a magic disk in order not to ruin many DVD's, creating image iso files and after mounting them from the virtual DVD they won't play.
Simple project 1 long asset, transcoded automatically, 3 menues, psd's made by photoshop cs2. all the settings of the project are normal.
I worked on it for 2 days, wasnt able to solve it.
need urgent help

I have used MagicDisk, and it works great for me. That doesn't mean it is not the application that is your problem.
You describe it as "mounting from the virtual DVD." The magicdisk application mounts the iso like a drive, so you can see the vob files, etc. It is not a DVD player. As Ruud suggests, you could get the results you describe if you don't actually have a software DVD decoder on your machine. Can you play a DVD on your computer?
Does the magic disk option work on a simple DVD?

Exported movies freeze and won't play.

Whenever exporting an iMovie project, (i'm using iMovie HD, although I do have iMovie '08, and if i'm correct, the problem started when I tried using iMovie '08.) the finished movie's video will always freeze about halfway through, while the audio will continue to play. This happens regardless of what I am exporting it as (mpeg, .mov, .avi, etc.). Anybody else have this problem and/or know what to do about it?

I have had that problem, and worse in that it wouldn't export at all, if my iMovie is composed of many, many clips or has many added audio clips.
My solution is to 'share' as quicktime, full-quality, resulting in a quicktime movie of my iMovie. I then open a new iMovie project, import this new quicktime movie and export that back to my camcorder. It works perfectly!
I also will use the new iMovie with the quicktime movie in iDVD if my original iMovie stutters or skips on playback.
You will have to redo chapter markers as they do not 'share' to quicktime.
The only caution is that you need enough free drive space to create the quicktime movie. It should be smaller in GB size than the original iMovie as it keeps only the footage actually in the timeline. If the quicktime version plays ok, you can delete the original iMovie.

My spot healing tool gets stuck and freezes and won't keep up with the curser. I'm using LR4.

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink Transmitter Nike Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink + Transmitter Nike+ Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

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 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

Ipod songs showing up grey and won't play

I have recently added some cd's on to iTunes. The songs show up normal in my itunes library and will play, but then when I go to them on my iPod library they show up grey and have a sync sign next to them. Most of them don't even show up on my ipod, but some do and they are just grey and won't play. I have tried re-downloading the cd's, right clicking on the songs, and pretty much anything I can think of. How do I fix this?

Couple questions for you.
Are you using the Wi-Fi sync feature?
Are you on the latest firmware?
What I would try doing is, if your using the Wi-Fi sync feature turn that off and sync with the cable that was provided with the iPod.
If you are already doing that I would try going into settings > general > reset all settings
if that doesnt work, then the last thing I would try is restoring your iPod to factory after backing everything up and trying to sync once more.
Let me know if this helps you out at all!

Video thumbs became icons and won't play in preview of Bridge

I started a new project in Premiere Pro 6. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but one thing I did differently on a new project was change the DV to HDV, the only time I've done that.
Then when I was importing by dragging from CS6 Bridge a bunch of videos, it looked like they were disappearing, or being moved instead of copied, so I terminated and started over. But after that some thumbnails switched icons and won't play in CS6 preview, though they do when clicked to open in media player.
I think when I finished the video and was starting to export, that a window came up and said dynamic link fail or something. I'd never seen before. Back in CS6, I went to a backup disk and copied the video files that here had thumbs, and copied to the folder with the icons. They had the same number code, but had text in front on the originals. Once I compared to make sure all thumbs and icons were represented, I deleted the icons, and then renamed the thumbs according to my current naming system, so they were just like the replaced ones.
I had exported to queue, and now ran the queue. I got the dynamic link error again, and when I looked back in CS6, the replaced thumbs had become icons like before. Since I still had the window with the other backup disk open, I copied those. But this time, even though they lacked the text in front of them, they arrived as icons instead of thumbs also. I thinkperhaps it is because PP can recognize that they are the same files even though they have different name. Because when I have changed the names of files that are already in a video sequence, and PP asks where the file is, and I indicate the file, it accepts it with the new name, though the old one still shows in the sequence, and doesn't need to be redone when reopened.
The icons, when in PP do play as normal and the export went normally. But the icons won't play in the Bridge preview, and now it seems I can't get back thumbs at all.

Have you tried the Bridge forum?

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?
This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

This is a followup to my own posting above.
Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted. I deleted the app from iTunes. Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes. I said yes and then synched.
Readdledocs is now working again. It is no longer frozen. However, I have learned my lesson. I will download only pdf's from now on. I don't think it works so well with epub files. The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

I have just downloaded ML. I can get my email via iCloud, but I can't get it on MAIL 6.0. I have done the JAVA thing--seems to be OK. MAIL 6.0 on my desktop won't sync with Mobile Me and won't download emails. Any suggestions?

Just did something--am not sure what, probably in the "iCloud"--but seems to be working at last!
