Nano won't play podcasts separately

My old iPod Mini played the titles of a podcast always separately, but the nano is going to play all titles from the newest to the oldest one. This makes no senses for me. Is that a feauture, a software-bug or a bug, that only concern me?
Thank for your help.

no one?

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

Ipad nano won't play anything

I was listening to my ipod Nano (6th Gen) and it just stopped working. I've reset my ipod Nano 6th Gen a couple times and it still won't play any of the music/podcasts i have stored on it. My computer won't recognize it either. Please help...

Hey there,
There could be corrupt file somewhere within the software or from one of the songs itself. I would try a Restore of the iPod.
Restoring the iPod will delete all the music and files from the iPod. So before doing so, I would make sure you have it all backed up on your computer if possible. As long as everything that she has on her ipod is on the computer, then restoring it should be no problem. Instructions on restoring your iPod can be found below.

Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
Any ideas how to fix it??

IPod Nano Won't Play Songs...Stays on Menu

Hi! My husband's 2GB iPod Nano will not play any songs. It will charge and it will show the menu with Music, Photos, Extras, Settings and Shuffle Songs...yet it won't let you click on any of these. I have tried resetting it by holding the Menu and Center Buttons, and it will show the Apple logo and then go back to the menu it was on before. Any suggestions on what I can do now???
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You may have a hardware issue and need to have it serviced, but before going that route, try this. Connect your iPod and in Device Manager or My Computer, right click on your iPod, then select disk management. Format the iPod (FAT32) and while you are there, assign it a different drive letter, try M or P or Z. Now Restore it in iTunes, fully charge it, resync it, and try again.
Is this iPod in warranty?

Nano won't play in bose when fully charged

Whenever I put my i-pod (third generation) into the bose speaker system, it won't play once it reaches a full charge. It's as if it refuses to play once the battery is full. The song stops and the screen displaying the full battery pops up and I have to keep hitting play every 10 seconds. Has this happened to anyone else?? Help!

Add me to the list of "same problem" I had my 3G Nano for less than a day - docking with JBL Onstage II - and don't recall the problem happening once before the 1.0.2 firmware upgrade. Now it happens somewhat randomly, but with a mean of once every hour our so. To repeat: Nano 3G plays normally with screen dimmed, then "battery charged" screen lights up and playback stops until I hit play again. Does this happen with dock products (i.e. do any of you have non-JBL dock with the same problem)? Jerryii_:) does your car have a JBL / Harmon Kardon docking adapter? If it's just the JBL dock I have 30 days for a no-questions asked exchange or refund.

Please HELP! iPod Nano won't play songs

I just got my iPod nano yesterday and absolutely loved it. I took some of my friendssongs from his PC. Then I tryed using ipod agent to put them into itunes. It said that there was an error. Now when I chose a song the song will come up, it won't play, but instead go to the next song and same thing happens. Now itunes won't even recongiz or pop up when it is plugged in

The iPod is designed to sync to one computer as it copies the music to a special file for the iPod OS and software to play.
You can enable "disk mode" and use that to transfer any file back and forth, but the iPod won't play music files stored in the "disk mode" portion you set in iTunes Preferences with the ipod plugged in.
Basically the software you used to transfer the music out of the "special file" back into iTunes is not authorized, it's a "hack". So Apple routinely disables the hacks because of agreements to protect the music from piracy.
Another thing is the music you got from your friend may indeed by ACC/"Fairplay" copy protected music bought from the iTunes Music Store, unless your computer is one of the five authorized, it won't play.
Also because you hooked your iPod to your friends PC, the "ownership" might have changed and Apple may have employed something that your iPod is no longer recognized as yours.
What you probably have to do is use the iPod software to "reset" your iPod, clear out everything in the process and just hook it to your computer.
If you want to transfer uncopy protected, non-copy righted "free" music to your computer from another computer, enable the iPod's "disk mode" and set a size to balance between the music in your "special file" and the needs of what you intend to transfer.
Once you get home, transfer the music files into your iTunes, then you can copy them to the "special file" so the iPod can play them.
It's a bit complicated, but's it's designed to prevent mass theft of music (so the artists will provide their music online) and keep the benefit of syncing/playlists in line.

Nano won't play new songs

I can only play songs from my current Nano playlist. I can't move songs I purchased last night (to my one Mac) or any other songs from my iTunes playlist, they show in my ipod playlist but they won't play. When I plug the iPod into my Mac I see the songs in iTunes on the iPod playlist and I can play them through my computer.
I changed USB Ports and reset my iPod

Can you play the recently purchases songs on the Computer?
Have you tried the five Rs?

Nano won't play purchased music from iTunes 6!

Is there anyone else that is having problems playing purchased music from iTunes 6 on your iPod? My 4GB iPod nano is not playing (i.e. skipping over) songs that I have purchased AFTER I upgraded to iTunes 6. My iPod software is up-to-date and I tried resetting the iPod, but neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

From what I've read, resetting your nano erases the music, etc. from your nano, putting the software back to its original state.
This really has to s*ck, but if it works, its good that you can fix it that way. It does, however, make a great real life case for backing up your music.
I've been using software (no I don't work for them) called e-backup for my email. I have receipts and other email from 2002! But, the point: it allows you to backup other folders/files. I included my music as an option yesterday because I remember losing term papers, etc. that I didn't backup to floppy or disk. Just in case!

3rd Gen Nano won't play certain albums

So I got a 3g Nano for Xmas, and transferred all my music that I wanted from my Linux laptop to the WinXP desktop I have, and loaded it all onto the iPod without any problems.
All but 3 albums play fine on the iPod, which happen to be my 3 favourite albums of my whole collection. The songs show up, and I can select them, but the song never plays past 00:00.
I've searched through a bunch of topics here, and looked at the "problematic music files" thing, and haven't found anything to help me. I've also unloaded and reloaded the songs onto the iPod, and it still doesn't help.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

my new nano 3g stopped playing anything... music or video... stuck on 0:00
this trick below I found fixed it...
Good luck!!!
The first thing that every iPod owner needs to know is how to restart your little MP3 player. Apple has a nice little tech note about restarting your iPod, and here's the gist of it:
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

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.

Ipod Nano won't play in car...

Our car has an ipod USB but when connected, it says no music on my Nano. Does anyone know how to get it to play the songs off it?

Are you sure the car installation is compatible with the Nano you have? Some older installations won't work with new iPods.

IPod nano won't delete podcast

I have a first generation iPod nano, 4GB. There is one podcast episode on my iPod that doesn't show up under Podcasts when my iPod is on; I have to go into Artists and select the episode under that. So when my iTunes comes up, I can't find that episode under Podcasts OR Music, even if I search the artist. I've saved it on a playlist now so I can see it in iTunes, but I can't delete it. I've tried changing the genre, the artist name, the media kind (it won't let me change it), even converting the ID3 tags (and I have no idea what that does.)
This has never happened with any podcasts I've had on my iPod before, and this is not a new podcast.
Does anyone know what my problem is and how to fix it?
EDIT: oops, I didn't mean to post this in the Using iTunes for Mac category. Could an admin please move this to the appropriate place? thanks

Hi.
I had this problem too, but it was fixed for me in an update to iTunes.
It's a bug; you aren't doing anything wrong.
In iTunes, go to iTunes-> Check For Updates...
Install the latest version.
Sync you iPod.
Let me know if that fixes it.
If it doesn't, here's what you can try:
In the Summary page of your iPod (in iTunes), check Manually Manage Media or something to that effect.
Then, click the triangle by your iPod in the source list.
Choose Podcasts. Find the ones you want to get rid of, select them, and press the delete key.
Afterwards, you can try unchecking Manually Manage...
Good luck!
