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.
iPod nano, Mac 10.6.8

When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds. Any advice please?

Ken in SwedenTry this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. If that does the same or you can't create a new library try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

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.

my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks
In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook. I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod. What am I doing wrong?
Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes? Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer. -
My ipod nano 6th gen just blinking
my ipod nano 6th gen is completely dead, i charged it in but now it doesn't stop blinking and it is all it does..
Hello Joey,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on completely. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
I got this information from the following article:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
Additionally, I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized in iTunes:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

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?"
Capability
Music, audiobooks, podcasts, photos, FM radio, pedometer, Nike + iPod support
Hope that helps,

Itunes just shuts down after a few seconds - no error message.
Ok, i've been wrestling with my itunes for 3 days. My itunes starts up no problem, works for between 5-30 seconds, then just dissapears without any error msg. I've tried every single trouble shooting topic in these forums. From getting rid of Norton, deleting Apple from my registry, installing quicktime as a standalone, checking my windows processes to see if i have any spyware running when im starting up itunes, changing my start up to only the apple products, etc, etc, etc, etc. I can't even remember most of the other ones I've tried, thats how many I've done. I've probably spent at least 10 hours in front of my computer dealing with this. Thats more than i usually spend in 2 weeks. Only because i NEED my itunes to be working. I have the new IPOD video coming and I want it working by the time it gets to my house so i can use it. Has anyone had this problem and gotten it fixed? ANY help would be incredible, i'm so sick and tired and trying things, thinking they'll work, and then they of course, don't. Thanks in advance!
please help!
i've tried the method in the other topic with the guy/gal who was having the same problems as me and it didn't work. -
please help me with this..
try toggling the hold switch on then off (quickly) then hold the centre button down until the apple logo appears (about 6-10secs) pls mark this as correct - it is!!!

Everytime I turn my ipod nano 6th gen on it automaticLly goes to the music tab please
Title says it all thanks!
Is your iPod configured to sync photos? If so, try disabling the syncing of photos and see if the error message goes away.
Anything change with your iTunes library since the last time the Nano was able to successfully sync?

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.

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.
