New NANO 8gb docking problem

Hello,
Here in the Netherlands we just have the new NANO 8gb on the market for a couple of weeks. At this moment I have a 8gb but it don't fit in any Apple dock that I use for my NANO 4gb. The 8gb also don't fit in my BOSE and Altec speakersystem. Is there outside Europe already a solution for this problem?
Thanks for your support.

Hi there,
Apple cleverly has offset the dock port on the second generation nano by 1mm. It does not fit in my iHome anymore. I checked with the manufacturer and a new second gen nano dock connector is available. It's not free that's for sure.
On another issue I found that my new 8gb nano had connection issues in the iPod HiFi I just bought. I was already on the phone to tech support (although on hold) after I found out that the nano when psuhed forward suddenly made connection. Therefore I investigated and found the nano pin connector pins too low. After massaging the postion I connects flawlesly to the iPod HiFi.

    Did you try recreating the library. Removing the songs won't really help as you have already restored.
    If you have already recreated the iTunes library file...
    Part 1:
    1. Navigate to \iPod_Control\iTunes on the iPod in Windows Explorer. You may have to turn on Show Hidden Files and folders. To do this, go to Tools-->Folder Options, click the view tab, click the bubble to show hidden files and folders, click Apply, and click OK. Look for the presence there of a file named iEKInfo. Is it there? If so, make a copy of this onto your computer somewhere. While there, make a copy of iTunesDB also. Don't delete these copies.
    2. Create a new, administrator user in Windows . (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    3. Log out of the current user.
    4. Log into the new user.
    5. Restore the iPod as documented in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983.
    6. Open iTunes.
    7. Set the Music sync preference in iTunes for the iPod to Manual mode.
    8. Download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store.
    9. Verify that the song plays in iTunes.
    10. Drag only this song to the iPod.
    11. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
    12. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
    Does the song play?
    If the iPod is able to play this song, follow these steps:
    Part 2:
    1. Log out of the new user.
    2. Log back into the original (affected) user.
    3. Reconnect the iPod to the computer.
    4. Drag some of the older purchased content (that would not play before) to the iPod.
    5. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
    6. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
    Does the affected content play?
    Is the iPod still having the same issue? Try these possible solutions:
    Part 3:
    * Delete the SC Info.sidb file as documented in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386.
    * If the issue persists, recreate the iTunes Music Library as described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313.
    Does the music play?
    Please post back if this works or not.

  • New Nano, same freezing problem

    My 2gb Nano is freezing up right after I choose my workout with Nike+ - I hit the button to start, and nothing. I already exchanged the first Nano, and now my new one did this on it's 3rd workout! Is there a fix, or do I need to exchange it yet again?

    There are a lot of reports like this, with the I-Pod putting itself on hold with I-Pod + Nike, im not sure if it is a glitch in the software, i would try to reinstall the OS and if that does not work, contact Apple itself about the problem.

  • New Nano (8GB) freezes when trying to play music. Nike+ IPod at fault?

    This is the second nano I've received, the original did the same thing. The nano works fine when I first play it, but after I upgrade to the latest ipod firmware and try using my Nike ipod thingie, I have problems with it freezing up. I take it to work (where I'm outside & don't have a computer) (no Nike connector) & try selecting something, but as soon as I try playing Music or a Podcast playlist, it freezes with the Play arrow button & "Now Playing" in the top menu & the light on. No button combination or toggling the switch will unfreeze it. I have to wait until after the battery has worn out & I get home to connect it to my computer to get it back to normal.
    Any ideas what the problem is?

    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.

  • New N95 8gb smsing problems

    hey i just bought a N95 8gb and when i tried to sms, it keeps on redirecting to some sms2.0 page and then my sms keeps on getting stuck in drafts. no matter what i do, i cant seem to send out any msgs. Anyone knows what to do? thanks

    ok so you have the right number !
    take your battery out for a few minutes and then boot up...
    now you can do a soft reset *#7780# that will resotre all default settings.
    if that does not work you can do a hard reset *#7730#
    make sure that you have a back up, unless you can afford to los e the data that you have on your phone. you can do a back up via Nokia PC suite.
    now when you reboot go to the settings wizard
    tools- utilities- sett. wizard or somewhere in that vicinity and allow the phone to define settings.
    again make sure that all your numbers and correct for the sms centers. this should work

  • Nano 8gb pausing problem, not headphones

    Hi I'm having a problem with my ipod randomly pausing, i looked online and some were saying it's a headphone problem. It's definately not in this case, I've tried 3 different sets of headphones and two sets of speakers.
    It's pausing anything from 2 to 10 times per song, even when lying completely flat on the table with no movement. Could this be a hardware problem or might restoring the factory settings help?
    It's rendered it pretty useless and I don't need a very expensive paperweight any suggestions to fix this problem?

    Mine is doing the exact same thing! I bought it a year ago and didnt start using it until a month ago so my warranty is up!
    I wont even move my ipod and it pauses like every 30 seconds. Its entirely useless.

  • Ipod Nano 8GB with Bose SoundDock

    Hi all,
    My new Nano 8GB won't fit into the Bose SoundDock using any of the supplied plastic adaptors. It fits without an adaptor and works fine but the supplied Nano adaptor won't allow it to fit.
    Does anyone know where to get an adaptor that fits?
    Thanks,

  • New Nano skipping through songs

    Today is the first day I've listened to my brand new Nano 8GB. It was fine at first, then a song (track 3) that I had just listened to an hour before wouldn't play - the screen would freeze for a second and would skip to track 7, then 15, then 17 on its own. Same exact thing every time I tried to listen to track 3. I reset the iPod and the problem was gone, but I understand this may be a common problem? I'm using Windows 2000 and only have tracks from CD, not from iTunes. Should I take it back to the Apple store?

  • Problems With My New Ipod Nano 8Gb

    Like most got a new ipod Nano 8Gb for Christmas and I had previously installed Itunes and Quicktime to the latest versions. I hooked up the ipod and it was recognized and it said it wanted to update to version 103 which i allowed it to do.
    A bar came up and started going across and I let it go and after 5 minutes it was still going and then after 15 minutes it was still going but I could tell that nothing was happening. (apple if you read these forums how about changing your updates so a percentage is given). I disconnected the player and had to end the task on Itunes to get it to close and then I hooked up the ipod and this time it went into itunes and synced and seemed to copy the 6 albums I had in there.
    I then decided to put a couple more albums on, but when I told it to sync this time the software couldn't find the device and I was given an error. The long and short of this is the device will sync initially and download *Music only* as any of the other checkmarked items will not download, but after the initial syncing anything else added to itunes will not sync or update again.
    I've also noted that anytime you change a setting in the itunes by putting a check mark in the box eg. such as podcasts, movies, outlook and so on the next time the ipod is plugged in none of these items are checked.
    I've come to the conclusion that Apple didn't do much testing on this device and so far i'm not very impressed and will most likely take the product back for a refund. How can Apple expect people to do all these things I've been reading about to try and fix the many problems that seem to plague this new Nano 3rd Gen unit?
    Does anyone from apple read these forums and know what's going on?

    Well i've tried a few things that haven't done anything.
    - 1 reinstalled Itunes but this did nothing to help
    - I tried to restore the unit but got the dreaded 1418 error
    I do have a question though when I plug my ipod in i hear it connect and it shows a USB mass storage device down in the taskbar which i can click on and see that it is the ipod usb device but if I look under My Computer there is nothing in there. So my question is should there be a device in my computer and should I see the device down in the taskbar?

  • IPod Nano 8gb problems with iTunes/iMac

    Bought a brand new iPod Nano 8gb last night. I am trying to use it on an iMac G4 1 gigahertz with OSX 10.4. This computer is not online. I downloaded itunes 7.0.1 from a neighbors computer and installed it on my imac and it seems to work fine. I can hook up the Nano to the iMac with no problem. Itunes recognizes the Nano and seems fine UNTIL I click anywhere in the itunes window woth the Nano plugged in, at which point itunes disappears from my screen. I can relaunch it, but the same thing happens again. Itunes works fine without the Nano plugged in, but not with the Nano.
    I called Apple Support, and was told I HAVE to be online to use both itunes and the new Nano I am online at work on a PC, but don't have internet access at home. I have no desire to download songs online, or do anything else online at home, I just want to be able to put my own existing CD's on my Nano to listen to away from home.
    Any ideas? Do I HAVE to be online to use iTunes 7 and the new Nano?

    I guess I'd better clarify this for my own sake. By "update" are you referring to changing music, folders, artists, etc? In which case, I realize that I would need to update my Nano to reflect any changes I make to my music files. If by "update" you are referring to making a software or firmware change through an internet connection, then I would think this would be a rare occurrence that could be done at a friends computer.
    The Apple "help" person on the phone said that I couldn't even USE my Nano without being online. Period. That the new Nano and new versions of iTunes REQUIRED an internet connection to function properly.
    At the Apple authorized dealer where I bought the Nano, they said there is no need at all to be online, as long as I have the proper versions of everything (OS, iTunes, etc) installed, it should work fine, there is no need for an internet connection. (Unless I want to actually download songs, of course) They have burned a CD for me with the required updates they feel I will need, which I will install later this evening. Hopefully that will work.
    It makes no sense to me that I would be REQUIRED to be connected to the internet in order for the Nano to simply be able to playback songs I have stored on my iMac, as I was told by the Apple help person the phone. He made NO effort to help at all, saying repeatedly that as long as I was not "online" with my iMac, the Nano and iTunes would not work, saying "What part of this don't you understand?"
    Then he hung up.

  • Problems using new nano during workouts

    I bought my new nano for more capacity than my 1st gen, which still works fine. But the touch screen does not work as well for me as the clickwheel did. The best location for the nano is clipped to my waistband, and I can operate the clickwheel by feel, to change volume or skip or repeat selections, which I do frequently during long workouts. But the touchscreen goes to sleep, and in any case I can't find the controls without taking off the new nano and looking at the screen. Sweaty clothes rubbing over it also actuate the touchscreen menus sometimes. So I've given up on using it and have gone back to using my old nano. Too bad, Apple presents the new nano as a workout tool but it certainly doesn't work that way for me. I'll try to figure out some way to get rid of it and get a slightly older refurb-ed nano with a clickwheel.

    I'm sitting at my computer right now with my 6th Generation Nano (Product Red) and my Ultimate Ears headphones and that adapter. I'm able to skip to the next song, return to the start of that song, pause, hear voiceover, raise the volume, lower the volume, ...Works like a champ and I've never had a problem with sweat getting into the switches when I used it with my 3rd Generation Shuffle OR with my 6th Generation Nano.
    I do suggest you use Google and find a plastic docking plug for the Nano when you use it while working out. It says that about the adapter because that is what it was developed for. It will work just fine with the Etymotic.

  • 5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

    5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
    I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

    Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages.  Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part.  If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
    These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out.  This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices.  The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used.  In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
    Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things. 
    I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
    Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

  • Dock station compatible with new nano with multi-touch

    Does anybody knows if JBL OnStage IIIP Speakers are compatible with the new iPod nano with multi-touch?
    Thanks.

    I don't think you understand the problem then. When pressing 'menu/back' on the remote it goes back to the Album list, but there's nothing 'highlighted' and hence no way to switch between different Albums.
    I'm guessing it's because it doesn't make sense to have navigation highlighting on a touch only device.
    It does, however, work on the iPhone 3gs (and all other ipods I've tried), which is why I'm hoping for an update from apple that would fix this. I don't see why they'd purposely make previous ipod docks incompatible with the new nano... then again, it's Apple.
    There's a bunch of software issues with the new nano, so I guess they'll have their hands full with more important problems for the time being.
    I don't see how JBL could fix this.
