Playlist problem with podcasts Nano 2nd g 8GB

I have podcasts that I put into playlists, and usually it will play from one to the next, but now it plays only each one individually and then goes back to the main menu, so if I have 8 podcasts of 5 minutes each, I can run for 40 minutes without touching the iPod, but now I have to reselect each one. This happened once before and I don't know what I did to fix it. I have deleted and recreated the playlists to no avail. Music goes from one to the next without a problem, but each Podcast is listed as "1 of 1" rather than "1 of 8" or whatever number.

That renames the iPod but we still have the problem of getting the right songs on to it. We have one playlist designated for the shuffle but it won't take the songs. What are we doing wrong?

Charging problems with 2gb nano

I have two ipod's and my nano will not charge when connected to my computer. It does charge however, when I connect it to my ac adapter but it gives me a weird plug icon on top of the battery icon. The only time I have seen this before is when the battery is fully charged. I know the battery is not fully charged because it only lasts a few hours and then gives me the "ipod is out of battery power" message. Any suggestions?

I had a problem with my nano,it wouldn't turn on so I reset it and held dowm the menu button and it turned on but now the only way it will turn on is if I reset it and hold the menu button down after the apple logo appears but no buttons are broken.Did you find a solution as to why it doesn't turn on after you get the apple logo? It would be appreciated. thx

Has anyone else had a problem with their nano sim slot bending snapping or breaking when they put their sim in!? I have had to order a replacement and only had the phone 5hours!

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

Problems with iPod Nano 6th Gen Playback & Updating

Hi. I have had a look and can't find another post on this - apologies if I have missed it!
My problems start before I purchased my new Nano 16GB last week.
When the last update of iTunes came available, I was unable to install it. The task bar would get to about 50% (although it varied) and would then time out. When I had this problem I tried everything from every forum imaginable, from deleting all Temp files, disabling the firewall and all start up applications and clearing the registry – everything. Nothing worked. Eventually I decided that I should uninstall, then install the new version.
After a week of the same problems trying to install iTunes, I gave up and downloaded on another computer, and saved the .exe file to a USB stick. This worked until two days after I downloaded it, yet another update came out and I had to start all over again (I didn’t – I am running on 10.1.2.17 still).
I was concerned when I purchased my new Nano that I would have problems connecting it to iTunes as I was not running the new version – but it was okay. Unfortunately, the iPod requires update 1.1 and I am also having the same problem with this – I get time out error 3259 after sometime trying to download it. And yes, I have tried all the same tricks, but nothing seems to work.
I am running Vista on a Dell PC, and connect to the internet on a pre-pay internet USB dongle. I can download updates for other programmes, and other files successfully – it is only iTunes that I am having an issue with. ITunes is added to my list of accepted programmes on my firewall, but I disable that when I am downloading.
Meanwhile! My new iPod is fantastic. Unfortunately I am experiencing an odd problem with it, and cannot seem to find other people with the same issue. The memory is not overloaded (it has 1.10GB of free space on it). I have 1857 tracks on it, and 14 podcasts. I play the music files through the ‘Songs’ menu, on Shuffle mode. For some reason, after playing one or two tracks, it doesn’t seem to want to play the next one. The track will be displayed on the screen, but it does not play. When you look at the song progress bar, it shows that it is part way through the song, but it is not moving. I have tried pressing ‘Pause’ followed by ‘Play’ and nothing happens.
The only way to get it to start playing again is to skip to the next track, but even this has its issues. Sometimes, when you skip forward a track, it plays a completely different track to the one that is displayed. When you look at the progress bar for the song it is showing, it isn’t moving, but music is still coming out!
Does anyone have any idea what the issue is, and how I can get the machine to play continuously without having to handle it several times? Please?!

Playlist problems with iOS4

Since I have updated my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch to iOS4, I have been having problems with my iPod making changes to how I have organized my music BY ITSELF. This happens at random and is very frustrating. For example, I have a playlist of Imogen Heap music that has 61 songs in it. Every now and then, I will go into my music, and the playlist has DELETED 59 of the songs on the playlist!!! What the heck is going on?

Thanks Mike,
But it looks like it's a Wacom driver issue and I'm using a Wacom pen: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15677003#15677003
Sorry, I should have looked into that before I posted.
Thanks anyway,

Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hi everybody!
First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,
Marco

IOS4 Problems with iPod Touch 2nd Gen

Hello!
Since installing the iOS4 in my iPod 2nd Gen I had many problems, the OS makes the iPod slower, the auto-lock function doesn't work, once I tell it to auto-lock after 1 minute, it doesn't, it just stays on all day, I have to do it several times and lock it manually so it stays like that.
I have also had problems with syncing music, since it doesn't play the songs, but is not a constant thing, some days are one songs, some another and is not always the same song.
Many Apps are also failing but that goes to the App developer.
< Edited by Host >

That is all fine and good except Apple pushed it 2nd gen owners as a supposed upgrade. Had we been given a disclaimer stating that it was going to half break most of our apps, we naturally would have declined the upgrade.
For the record, G2 touches did not get multitasking. All we got Folders and access to ibooks, along with a few minor tweaks, here and there. There is absolutely no excuse for how terribly slow ibooks renders PDFs, considering Looksee did a much faster and better job of it on my G1 touch.
All I really cared about was folders. It would be nice if Apple could tweak IOS4 for G2 ipods to allow for folders without decimating our Ram. If they can't then give us a convenient way to get back to an OS that actually works properly.

ITunes 9 no longer supports iPod to sync playlists made with podcast files

With the last iTunes upgrade my iPod can't recognize those playlists I had previously created with podcasts files downloaded using iTunes. They just have disappeared from the list in the section Playlists of my old iPod 5G. The same occurs with a new iPod Touch 3G, thus it seems to be related with some change in my computer's software rather than the iPod.
With this last v.9 upgrade all my old podcasts had also disappeared from the section Podcasts but I eventually I could find the cause and fixed it: By default iTunes 9 is configured so that those podcasts which have been totally or partially listened are not synchronize. This can be easily modified opening the Podcasts tab in the iTunes device settings and change the options in 'Sync Podcasts'.
I'd really appreciate I could transfer again my podcast playlists to my iPod. I find rather disappointing to lose the iPod feature I've probably being used most frequently during the last 3 years. It'd thank anyone who could tell me some way to go around this constriction. Otherwise I hope this feature to be supported by iTunes in future upgrades.

I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Two Problems with iPod Nano!

Hi Community!
As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
THX for helping me!
dynAdZ

Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

Problems with Podcasts in iTunes and Podcast App

We're receiving a number of reports from people that our podcasts play for a minute or so and then loop back to the beginning. We're getting the report from multiple users, for different podcast episodes and occurring at different times within each episode.
We've seen it happen once or twice ourselves, but it is very difficult to reproduce. Unfortunately we've received enough complaints that I know this is a real problem that a lot of people are having. They're even leaving negative comments for us in the iTunes store because of it.
Because we've been having trouble reproducing the problem, it's hard to zero in on what's happening. All the complaints I've seen so far seem to be from people using iOS devices and listening through iTunes or the Podcast app.
Is anyone else experiencing these complaints?
The podcast in question is "BackStory with the American History Guys".
Thanks.

This sort of thing is asking for trouble with podcasts, and may not be helping, however it does play OK in iTunes: the fact that the issue seems confined to iOS devices, and from your description, suggests that it is the dreaded 'byte-range requests' problem. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhere weren't working on an iPhone.
A Terminal test for this suggests that your server is indeed not accepting byte-range requests: I'm afraid that the only ways out of this are a) ask the people running your server to enable it, or b) find another hosting service and make sure before committing that they can handle this.
To test for this on a Mac, open Terminal and enter curl -I -r 200-300 followed by a space and the full URL of your media file. Success is indicated by lines in the response similar to this:
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 101
Content-Range: bytes 200-300/46077596
This was not in the response to your file.
(Caveat: if you are going to use Terminal, stick to entering exactly what is specified. Don't improvise: you can do a lot of damage very easily. This test is quite safe.)

Problem with ipod nano updater

Hi.
I have the other problem with my ipod nano. I reset my software ipod nano, but ipod updater 2006-01-10 write:"iPod Updater 2006-01-10 cannot continue because there are other applications using iPod. Please close all iPod applications andtry again.". But I don´t using other applications, iTunes is closed. I try my iPod update on other computer, but text is same. Can you help me please?
iPod is correct only as external disk. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm on a Mac so things may not work the same. Have you tried restarting your computer? If you do that maybe nothing will be using it at first.
I hope someone who knows Windows will come to help you.

Problems with My Nano when using Accessories

I bought my nano in November and haven't had any problem with it...until now. For x-mas I got an ITrip and a music station. My Nano doesn't like them. It worked once, and then stopped working. I took my nano to an Apple Store where they reset everything. It worked...for a day and now my nano won't play music through the ITrip or music station! Any ideas because I don't want to reset it and then re-load everything when I want to use my accessories. Thanks!

Hello Ashers,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I don't want to reset it and then re-load everything when I want to use my accessories.
Resetting will not delete songs/photos from your nano. Sometimes there's a glitch in the nano, where you would have to reset:
Resetting iPod
The next time when you plug your nano to your iTrip and music station, you might want to try turning your nano on first. See if that helps.
