Next generation iPod nano idea

The iPod nano before this generation had a camera for filming.
Apple need to put a small but decent enough front facing camera back into the iPod nano.
They also need to add wifi and FaceTime to it. This then means that people who wear the iPod nano as a watch have sate trek like communicator.
Please Apple add these functions to the next generation iPod nano.

  • Do all first generation ipod nano's prebuffer the next track?

    do all first generation ipod nano's prebuffer the next track?
    have they always? the first gen that is.
    what i mean by prebuffer is does the firmware load the next track in memory as the current track is being played ?

    As far as I know, the flash memory used in the nano is one big buffer.
    It doesn't work like hd based iPods where the songs are pre-loaded into a 32mb (or 64mb) buffer and played from there.

  • My 3rd generation iPod nano won't sync because "It cannot be found" even though it will automatically sync when I plug it in.

    Hey,
    My dad and I both own a third generation iPod nano. ever since I updated our iTunes software, neither his nor my iPod will sync because "the correct disk cannot be found" or "ipod cannot be found" even though it will sync automatically when I plug it in. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
    Thanks

    Try these steps listed below.
    1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
    2. Start up iTunes
    3. Next, connect your iPod.
    4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
    5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
    6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
    7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
    8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
    It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod).  See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

  • 1st Generation iPod nano won't sync

    I've had my first generation iPod nano since April of 2006, and I've only had pretty minor problems with it.
    Last year I hooked up my iPod to a new computer, and synced my music just fine. The next day when I tried to add new songs, it deleted my entire library. I restored the factory settings and bought new songs.
    Last week I used my sister's external hard drive to put some of her music on my iPod, and it accepted them and kept working fine. A few days ago I tried to add more music from her xHD onto my iPod, and ended up with an error message like this:
    "your iPod is corrupted and needs to be either restored to factory settings, or disconnected and reconnected."
    I removed and re-connected my iPod, and it deleted all the songs I had acquired off of the xHD. Now when I try to add music it says, "Attempting to copy to the disk has failed. Unknown error occurred (-69).
    How can I add more music to my iPod? I really don't want to reset my iPod just because it has so much valuable music and it's already cost me so much to acquire this much. It's only synced with one computer, and unfortunately my computer doesn't have a CD burner.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Is your sisters xHD connected to your PC permanently? I suspect not, and I also suspect that your iTunes install isn't set to copy the files over when you add new music to iTunes.
    You need to go into your iTunes settings and tell it to keep your music library organized ( it will copy all the music to your default directory) and to copy music when adding to your library.
    Otherwise it just makes a pointer to where the music is when you add it, and if that is an external hard drive it won't be able to sync when that drive isn't connected.
    You don't need to burn to back-up your music - resetting your Nano won't delete the music from your hard drive. But, you should copy it to either an xHD or another location on your HD as a temporary measure.

  • 1st Generation iPod nano

    I have rediscovered my 1st generation iPod nano in a drawer and am attempting to use it again but it will not sync with iTunes. The do not disconnect message is on the iPod but nothing is happening on the progress bar on the laptop. I have gone through the 5R's but still no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Does the battery charge properly?  If not, Apple has an iPod exchange program for products with defective batteries.

  • My first generation ipod nano freezes on language menu. All a can do is reset it

    My 1st generation ipod nano froze today on the menu.

    Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

  • My 4th generation ipod nano backlight no longer working. Any suggestions

    My 4th or 5th generation ipod nano backlight is no longer working.  Any suggestions?

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

    can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

      Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
      This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it.  One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod.  When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio.  Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio.  I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really?  This is freakin' new, Apple people!  Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

  • 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

    My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
    I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi VeerleD,
    If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • Duration sixth generation iPod Nano Battery Standby?

    My sixth-generation iPod nano can not keep the battery in standby for more than two hours,informing me know if this is normal or can deal with problems on my device?

    I've only been using my new 4th Generation Nano for a few weeks. I already own 2 other MP3 players, and only bought an iPod for the Nike+. I feel like someone stole $175 from me and from the comments I'm not sure how to get it back. I charge it all day on my computer at work, yet it only has about an hour of battery life. I used it for an hour work-out the other day - without music, I was walking with a friend - then turned it off and locked it off. The next day it was completely dead. It was bad the first couple of weeks, but now it's hit a new level. I can't imagine how it is supposed to shoot or run video if can't maintain an hours worth of low battery usage. Is Apple going to address their shoddy work? Or please Nike get in bed with another electronics company!!

  • 1GB 1st Generation iPod Nano USB Device Not Recognized on any computer

    I just recently received a free 1st generation 1GB iPod nano from a friend because they couldn't get it to work. I figured I'd take a crack at it and hopefully get a working, free iPod out of the deal...
    It already had music loaded on it (mostly a bunch of garbage), so like anyone else in my position I proceeded to reformat the little sucker and wipe its slate clean.
    Here is what happens when I try to connect the nano to ANY computer:
    Here is how the nano shows up in device manager:
    This was the original problem I was having with my desktop PC which is running Windows XP Home with SP2 and all the latest Windows updates. It is running iTunes 7.5.0.20, w/ latest iPod updater software version 1.2.3.
    Prior to testing the 1st gen. 1GB iPod nano, I had been charging and syncing my 5th generation 60GB iPod classic on my desktop PC using the same exact cable. All of my USB ports are in working, functional condition and order. I even have “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” unchecked under USB Root Hub Properties.
    I tried a couple different USB ports and I used another cable, no luck. So I moved on to my Fujitsu laptop running Windows Media Center Edition, all latest Windows updates, same version of iTunes and iPod software (the difference being that I DO NOT sync any iPods to it, nor do I have any music on it). SAME EXACT PROBLEM, same message bubble, same entry in device manager, and same lack of driver availability.
    Thinking maybe it’s just a “PeeCee” thing I dug out my old PowerBook G4 running the ancient Mac OS 10.2. Keep in mind this thing only has a 400 MHz G4 processor, 512MB RAM, 30GB hardrive, and USB 1.1 ports. The iPod nano wouldn’t even give a hint that it existed when I plugged it in.
    I have tried every single little Apple trick available. I’ve done the forced restart while connected and while not connected to the computer. I’ve done forced disk mode while connected and while not. I’ve run iTunes diagnostic tests on connected devices. I’ve messed with USB port settings. I’ve tried two different USB 2.0 iPod cables. I tested my dad’s 8GB 2nd generation iPod nano to see if it linked up with my desktop and my laptop IT DOES. I even tried my 60GB 5th gen iPod classic OVER AGAIN to see if it still worked, IT DOES.
    Also, this 1st gen iPod nano will not charge when hooked to the computer through USB. When I plug it in, between the time it’s plugged in and when the “USB device recognized” bubble pops up the battery icon shows it is charging, but as soon as that bubble pops up it disappears and discontinues pretending to charge.
    On my Fujitsu laptop, I uninstalled everything having to do with Apple. I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Update, everything. Restarting after it all of course. Then I installed the old iPod Software Updater from 6-28-2006. I was pretty sure this wouldn’t work because the iPod isn’t even recognized by the computer. In order for the iPod to work in the iPod Software Updater or iTunes it has to first be recognized at the basic Windows level. Which it isn’t…
    I have done research all across the net and the only real answer I found was that the iPod Nano’s internal USB controller is dead. I’m 99% sure it has nothing to do with my laptop, desktop, USB cables, software, or drivers. What do you guys think?

    Nope I have not figured anything out since I posted this. The closest answer I've found is that it's the internal USB controller which has gone bad. If that's the case than there is really nothing more I can do.
    I did find one opening and that was the diagnostic screen. You get to it by holding down the Menu and Center buttons, as soon as the iPod resets hold down the Left and Center buttons, the iPod will beep and then it will go to a diagnostic screen. Maybe somewhere in there you can find the problem I don't know how to use it though.
