IPod Nano Firmware v1.1

Where, oh where can one find a list of bugs fixed by the new Nano firmware v1.1 update?

What you really want is the list of bugs introduced.
There's one that's really annoying me: when I hit the centre button to get to the ratings screen the user interface often freezes for a few seconds. When it does eventually go to the ratings screen it ends up in a bizarre state that pressing the centre button doesn't take you back to the main screen again, instead it scrolls the screen sideways to reveal the ratings screen again. This never used to happen.

Brand new nano 7th gen, firmware file corrupt, running windows 7

brand new nano 7th gen, running windows 7, on first plugin I get the message "the ipod XXXX could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt" The strange thing is that it gave my nano a name - maybe confused with an old ipod??

I have the same issue. IPOD just arrived, connected to itunes, corrupt!

Can't Sync New Nano: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

I just got a new nano for Christmas, but can't seem to sync it with iTunes. I updated all the software, reset, restarted, restored, and all the rest, but it still gives me the same error whenever I try to sync it:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "{Ipod's Name}" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
If I change the settings so it's not downloading anything it doesn't complain, but as soon as I select any artist or album to actually sync, it gives that error.
There's also one specific file that gives a different error message (in addition to this one)--it tells me that the file wasn't copied because the iPod can't play it. I tried looking for someone with the same problem, but all the ones that I found were talking about this happening to videos, and this is just a straight audio mp3.

Just doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Brand new nano: iTunes shows songs on the ipod that the ipod thinks are not

I first upgraded the firmware on my new 8GB nano, and upgraded my iTunes version, and then uploaded about 4 GB of music.
But I have this weird bug:
For a few artists, iTunes correctly shows their songs as being on the ipod, but then when I browse to the artist on my ipod, only 1 of the 3 songs are there. 2 songs are missing, even though iTunes definitely thinks they're on the ipod. I've tried deleting them and reuploading, but they still don't show up on the nano.
The missing songs are just standard mp3s, and play fine on my computer. There's no difference between the 2 missing ones and the 1 that does show up that I can tell.
Also, another bug is that the nano is displaying one of my artists twice in the Artist listing, even though the name is exactly identical. This is what is shows:
The Cruxshadows
Cruxshadows
The Cruxshadows
The 2nd entry is because I have one song which has a different artist name in the ID3 tags. But entries 1 and 3 are exactly identical - clicking on them brings me to the same exact set of songs.
I never had these bugs with my iPod mini. Are these known bugs in the nano firmware?

"For a few artists, iTunes correctly shows their songs as being on the ipod, but then when I browse to the artist on my ipod,"
There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

Transferring from my original iPod onto my new Nano

I bought a new iPod nano 4GB today and before hooking it up to my computer I had a few questions:
1) Can I transfer all my music from my original iTunes onto my new Nano?
2) Can I do this off-line?
3) I have my computer from college with over 3GB of music and it is operated by my original iTunes; can I get music off of the old computer?

If your old computer meets the requirements for iTunes 7 or later and the 2nd gen nano...and you still have access to the old computer in order to connect your ipod to then yes to all 3 questions. If you can't get online you won't be able to update your iPod firmware from the old computer and you won't be able to purchase any new songs from iTunes...but you can get what's already in the library

IPod Nano Firmware crash, reproducable

I was recently given an iPod nano 4GB for my birthday. My review is here: http://megaphone.unixdaemons.com/?p=25
I'm subscribed to several podcasts. I use the latest version of iTunes on Windows XP. This morning I sync'd up my podcasts and there were two new episodes (I am subscribed to a total of 5 shows, and 2 shows had each a new episode). Before sync'ing up the iPod, I decided to do some cleanup.
Through iTunes, I cleared everything on my iPod (songs and podcasts). I noticed that although the podcast episodes themselves were cleared, the podcast show FOLDERS still existed on the iPod, but were empty.
After some playing around, i noticed that if you have at least one empty podcast folder (I don't know why iTunes doesn't garbage collect empty podcast folders?), the iPod nano firmware boots up, and you can browse the high-level menu items EXCEPT FOR MUSIC. If you click on the "Music" high-level menu item, the firmware crashes and the Apple logo appears on the nano screen as it resets itself. If you try to just hit "play" without entering the Music sub-menu it actually does play and you can skip forward and backward. But the moment you try to browse the Music sub-folder, the OS crashes.
My workaround is, since I have 5 podcast show folders on the iPod, to keep at least ONE episode from each in each folder, and this works just fine, although my iPod now stores some old shows, taking up some space, even though I've already listened to them.
Help?
Cheers,
Bosko.

So I called Apple Support and apparently the problem has not yet been reported but while talking to the service rep found a more viable workaround.
The bug seems to be that if you have Podcast episodes in iTunes that you drag over to your iPod, the first time you do so, a directory underneath the "Podcasts" category on your iPod will be created to store episodes for the given show. If you then go ahead and highlight each episode within that show's folder on your iPod with iTunes, right-click, and click on "Clear", you'll notice that while the episode disappears, the empty directory FOR THAT SHOW will remain within "Podcasts" on your iPod.
And that's where the problem is. The iPod nano firmware seems to crap itself when you then try to access the "Music" top-level menu item if there is at least one empty podcast show directory on it.
The workaround to not waste any space is to access the iPod via iTunes, and instead of clearing individual shows, right-click on the podcast show's folder itself and click on "clear", this will properly get rid of all the episodes within that show AS WELL AS THE SHOW'S FOLDER.
Hopefully someone will fix the firmware bug in the future. For now, this is how to deal with it.
Cheers,
Bosko

Problems with the NEW V50 Firmware

Hi all... my nokia 5800 faces some problems here after upgrading to the new V50 firmware, not sure whether have u all encountered it before...
1. Sometimes when typing SMS, the cursor will keep moving backwards and hang there (sounding tut tut tut... continuously and unstoppable)
2. Sometimes the vibration on touching the screen will suddenly become stronger than normal, like suddenly Zeeek, zek, zek rather than normal zek, zek, zek~
I am not sure whther it is common in V50 firmware or it happens only to my specific phone.
Please help !!! Thanks~

A hard reset is needed to clean everything out on your phone. In fact, it is best to do a hard reset BEFORE any firmware update. This is because of possible inconsistencies with system files our own usage may have made. Installation of apps also has an effect, as they create their own system files which are set to be compatible to that of older firmware. New files and new system files coming with the newer firmware adding new features everywhere (this one, v50, in fact from my understanding affects display and icon system files due to the kinetic scrolling in icon menu) may have caused incompatibilities with certain apps. Also one must take into consideration orphaned files caused by installation and uninstallation of apps.
All of these possible incompatibilities may exist on both phone or memory card which both contains system files. First thing, try to run a disk check on the memory card, if nothing happens, you format. If nothing still happens, you reinstall the fw into the phone. If nothing still happens, you put a formatted card and format the phone and reinstall.

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

Need help on how to help my sister register her new nano and add music to it on my computer. I have my on nano already on my computer registered and set up but she and I don't listen to the same music so how would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to find out information on how to go about helping my sister to register her new nano and load on CD's and such. I have a nano and already know how to do this but she is from CA and we want to load it here on my computer. She will be going home in 2 weeks and wants to use it in the car for the ride home.We don't listen to the same kind of music so I don't want to use my library but do one of her own for her. Also she will want to add this library on to her computer at home. I'm 60 and my sister is 70 I have enough knowledge to do some things on the computer but am not real computer smart. My sister is just learning about everything but has no idea what to do with that knowledge. Can anyone give me and idea on how to do this that I can get a grasp of what needs to be done to do this? My nephew says it's easy but he's in Az and I'm here. He also helps people with computers so he is more knowledgeable than I am. Would appreciate any help on this. thx

I just bought a new Nano. How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

I just bought a new Nano. How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

How can I sync my old music library in my new nano to the new library???

CAN'T COMBINE MUSIC LIBRARIES:
Got a new 6th gen nano. X-ferred my old music lib to new nano. Gave my old nano to my hubs and he erased most of the music and added his own.(so, he has the same name for the old nano that I was using) Now, when I try to add more music to my new nano, I get a message asking me if I want to erase all the music content and add the new stuff. Well, of course I do not want to do this as I have hundreds of songs in the old music library. I also get a message saying that the old music lib is associated with a diff account name and I cannot have 2 music libs running on one iPod. Can anyone tell me how I an get the two libs combined? Do I need to back up the old music and add it to the new lib? Or, can I add the new music (only about 50 songs) to the old lib? (the latter would be much easier, as it would take 10-12 CD's to store my old lib and much time burning the cd's. I naively thot that I could add music to the new nano under the same music lib as the old nano. HELP!

iPod Nano: Multiple Users- Single iTunes

My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot get access to. Is there a way I can still get access to my music via the cloud and use on my various Apple devices including a new nano that I have just purchased?

My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot access. What options do I have to play my music on the apple devices including a new Nano that I have just bought?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

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
