  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

  • New iPod Nano 6th Gen just got it going today and it won't stay on. It starts playing a song and pauses (shuts down?) after a few seconds. It's fully charged what do i do? Help please!!

    New iPod Nano 6th generation just got it going today. It is fully charged but shuts off a few seconds into a song, what do I do?

    I received mine yesterday as replacement for 1st generation and yes I had exactly the same problem.
    I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
    I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
    Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
    The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

  • Artist information on my iPod Nano 6th Gen cannot be changed

    Hi,
    apparently I made the mistake, that during my initial setup I had changed the Artist information for all my U2 Songs from "U2" to "U2, Green Day" when I only wanted to change it for a single song. Now I habe the problem that even though I did correct that problem (looks all great in itunes) this will not sync correctly with my 8GB iPod Nano (6th Generation).
    I even reset the iPod, made sure all titles were erased, before doing a new sync - it just does not change.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this? Everything else works fine.

    A reset is different from a restore if you are speaking in terms of iPods.  If restoring the iPod to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's likely a tagging issue with the tracks in iTunes from under the Get Info section.
    You may want to take a minute or two to read this excellent guide from another forum member turingtest2 on tagging your tracks in iTunes.

  • New ipod nano (6th gen) question - can it do apple remote?

    I was wondering if the new ipod nano touch (announced sept 2010) can install apple's Remote app to control itunes? It would be awesome to have such a small remote control for itunes.

    Hi Subw00er,
    From what I see on the iPod nano spec page, it doesn't do apps. It's a music/picture/podcast player.
    iPod nano Technical Specifications
    Note the bottom section under, "Which iPod are you?"

  • IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

    I have a brand new iPod nano (6th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
    This is what happens:
    When i play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if i let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the ipod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
    When i try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
    Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iphone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the ipod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
    It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
    The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
    I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
    Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

    Thanks for your answer...
    The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
    The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
    I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen videos movies apps?

    hey, i was wondering if the new ipod nano 6th gen touch can get podasts, tv shows, music videos, apps tht DONT REQUIRE WIFI ,movies or anything of the sort... plz let me know ASAP!1 thx guys! <3

    No, the 6th Gen Nano does NOT support video. It does not say that in the description. Find the tech specs here:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    Video podcasts can be loaded, but then you will just get a frame from the video as album art and the audio of the podcast.

  • Ipod Nano 6th gen apps

    I have the new ipod nano (6th gen), and i was just wondering what other "apps" i can get other than the ones that i started with. 

           Nope, sorry, the new nano does not have any extra apps available for it. Their available for the clickwheel nanos. But apple has not released any apps for the nano 6th gen!

  • My Ipod Nano (6th Gen) screen is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. i got this thing this morning and i really regret it!! HELP!!

    HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
    My brand-new IPod Nano (6th gen) is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. This happened right after ITunes said it was in recovery mode. The ipod said "do not disconnect" before and, Like an idiot i disconnected it, now it says "ok to disconnect". it has been like that for over an hour. I think it's a bit of a lost cause. im about ready to hammer this thing. Can anyone help???????

    Go to your Main Menu, then Setting and then Reset Settings. That helped me once with another issue.

  • Question: Problem Syncing some songs in ipod nano 6th gen

    Hi all,
    So I've been having some problems syncing songs over to my new Ipod nano 6th gen. Whenever I try to sync, this message pops up:
    This happened before with another song, and I just ignored it, and after checking my iPod, it had synced anyways. However, some songs do not seem to do this. I've tried changing the file format from mp3 to wav, finding other copies, deleting it from iTunes and then re-loading it. Nothing seems to work. The songs that won't sync work fine on iTunes, and I can play it from my computer, whether from iTunes or Windows Media Player, but it refuses to go on my ipod. >.< If anyone has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you actually add these songs to your iTunes library and move their physical location or is iTunes referencing them in another location? Sounds like the latter in which case they won't be synced to the Nano.

  • I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

    I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

    If they are gone, then your question is answered.
    If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
    You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer.  It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
    If the music is gone, then it is gone.
    Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
    Your music is only where you put it.  If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
    Not sure what else you are looking for.

  • I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

    I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • Receive error message, The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  iPod nano 6th Gen, all latest updates, Macbook Pro, with OS 10.6.7

    Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7.  This is getting frustrating.  I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once.  I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod.  I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad.  This is the only device that has this issue.

    I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

    Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
    To do this:
    1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
    2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
    3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
    4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
    The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.
