Recent problems occurring with new iPod Nanos as well?

Are the recent problems associated with the iPod firmware version 1.2 occurring with brand new Nanos, or are they only occurring with Nanos that were running previous versions that have been updated to the new version? I've been considering buying a Nano, but may reconsider if the problems are happening with new ones as well.

I bought a 2GB iPod nano over the weekend. It works great, as long as I don't try to put more than 215 songs on it. iTunes crashes and freezes my iPod every time I try to fill it up more than half way. Every crash requires a hard shut down on my mac and restoration of the iPod.

Interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation ..

interesting occurance with 1gb ipod nano and on-the-go playlist creation might be helpful to some.
NOTE: the feedback form isnt up to date for software versions for 1gb ipod nano (newest here is 1.1.1 but i have 1.3.1).
it seems i cannot create on-the-go playlist by holding album OR artist, with my 1gb ipod nano with VERSION 1.3.1 software, if there are various sizes of playlists in my ipod. i had about 4 playlists with 1 song in them and 2 -3 playlists with 5 - 30 songs in them. total space on ipod used was about 400mb of 896mb and about 1500 songs (most poor quality to save space (18-48kbs - i noticed some of the lower qualities have overtones of whistle or cricket like sounds (i have many ambient songs birds, thunder storms, etc)).
i just manually deleted ALL playlists also deleted 945 songs on my ipod with itunes, and now i am able to do it. i can even do it now with composer or genre etc (which isnt listed in the playlist creation instructions). i now have 612 songs with 113mb free.
p.s. i tried to leave this as bug feedback but got a strange message that was like a command pointing to a thank you for leaving feedback page.

I have got this problem with my new 8gb nano too. Its very sad I had my mini stolen from my person whilst in a hospital bed dozing and it worked from the same itunes list and I could add albums or artists or songs now on the new replacment nano I can only add songs. Very annoying, please let me know if anyone can solve this. I too have reset and restored it numerous times. I am in the uk I think you are in the states.

BMW car adapter problems with new iPOD nano

Hi,
I recently swapped my iPOD nano to the new model. I used the old one as "CD-changer" in my BMW 3-series with the original Apple BMW iPod Adapter.
Worked really great.
With the new iPOD nano the interface does not work any more properly:
- the iPOD is not turned off when the car radio is swtiched off.
- the iPOD is not charged any more through the interface
- once connected through the interface, the display is turned on (full white) and remains on! You could use it as a flashlight. The batteries are empty through this after max. 3 hours.
Means: If you forget to switch off the iPOD manually after the journey, it will be dead when you come back.
I updated already to latest firmware 1.0.2, no diference.
Apple has no contact to call.
BMW does not know anything and cannot help.
Anyone an idea whom to contact or how to overcome?
Thank you,
JJer

Mine finally got fixed at the MINI dealership! At first they kept telling me to update my ipod firmware but 2 firmware updates later (I'm up to 1.1 now) it still did not work). I finally convinced them to take a look at it. They were able to reproduce the same thing I saw, where my ipod worked on their cars, and their ipods worked on my car. That seemed to show that the connector and cables were ok, but they ordered a whole extra kit anyway just to try it out. After they got the new kit, they found out that though the cables were ok, they had to replace the ipod "interface/module (hw v3.0/sw v3.0)" to get it to work. Now my ipod finally works in my car and I get the MINI logo and everything!
You guys may want to check with your respective dealerships or whoever installed the adapter to see if you may have the same issue.

Multiple issues with new IPod Nano+ ITunes 7

I am a formerly happy and loyal Apple user, but have recently become disenchanted due to what I see as bad faith actions.
I bought a new Ipod nano for my wife and brought it home to set up. When I plugged it in, it told me that I needed ITunes 7. Fair enough, I go up to download ITunes 7, only to be told that it won't work with OS 10.2.8 and that I need 10.3.9. There is nothing on the IPod packaging that indicates that I can only use ITunes 7. So as far as I can tell, Apple wants me to pay another $129 to buy a new OS, so that I can use my new ipod. It doesn't give me the option to use it with my existing setup. Is there a workaround so that I can use my ipod with my existing OS?
I started transferring my music collection to a PC to see if I could make it work there, since ITunes 7 works with Windows XP, which I have. This creates a new problem, since I can't seem to get the DRM protected music I bought on my Mac through ITunes to work on the PC. Can't get it to load onto the IPod, which is my whole intent in transferring it. My solution now is to not buy anything more from Itunes, since it will be a pain to transfer it when I change computers. I am not going to burn CDs for 400 songs, just to load them onto another computer. It seems like there are solutions on the web that can help you strip the DRM protection from songs, so I plan on using those to be able to listen to the music that I paid for.
Sor far, I have spent multiple hours trying to make things work. I have no interest in anything other than being able to listen to my music on our Ipods. While I understand the necessity to protect copyrights and limit illicit sharing, Apple has gotten a little too manipulative of a loyal customer base. Apple can count me in the formerly happy, now alienated group.

I just looked at one of the boxes for the new nano, and it has this on the back:
Requires Mac or PC; USB 2.0; Mac OS X v10.3.9

Can an old iPod classic charger brick be used with new iPod nano?

I have an Apple ModelA1102 W005A050 wall charger. I came with the iPod I purchased in 2005.
Can it be used to charge the new iPod nano I just purchased?
Thanks.

Yes so long as it has a USB connection on it.

Trouble with new ipod nano..

Just purchased a new ipod Nano but the music wont load fron my computer- Mac OS 10.6.8. The itunes version is the latest- 11.1.3 (8). Under devices the 'syn' option can't be selected and only 'Transfer purchases from ipod' The ipod shows up in itunes and my desktop. What to do?

Hi Gordon,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
I would suggest following the instructions on page 56 & 57 of the iPod nano user Guide.
iPod nano User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1624/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
Page 15 of the manual explains how to set up iTunes syncing once the device is recognized.
Cheers,

Disappointed with new Ipod Nano

I got a new ipod nano for Christmas mostly for the fm receiver.
I went to the gym today and can only tune in one station while working out. Not only do I have to wear the earbuds that come with the new ipod to even get one station but it doesn't seem to work anyways.
I live in a metro area with plenty of radio stations and good reception with other equipment.
Are there any ways to boost your reception with the ipod nano?
Otherwise this was a waste of money for a new ipod.

I also live in a huge metro area and have no issues getting all the FM stations I want when I am out & about. Did you read the Listening to FM Radio chapter in the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide?
Search Apple Knowledge Base. I found iPod nano (5th generation): How to use the station Seek feature for FM radio which should be worth a read.
Call iPod tech support before your 90 days of free phone support runs out if a solution is not found above. Did you also get Apple Care?

Using original power adaptor with new iPod Nano

Hi all,
I was wondering whether it's possible to use my new iPod Nano (3rd Gen) with the old USB Apple power adaptor from my first generation iPod Nano.
Thanks in advance,
Stu

Does this hold true for old FireWire power adapters for old iPods as well? I have an iPod Nano (3Gen), along with the USB cable that was included when purchased, but no power adapter was included. I'd really like to use an old FireWire cable and adapter from an older iPod model with this new Nano, so I can charge it when I'm away from my computer. (more importantly, I don't want to have to go and buy ANOTHER power adapter with a USB connection...)

Many problems with new iPod nano

I had an iPod Mini for a year, and never had any problems with it. Last month, I bought a Nano (4 GB), and I've already had several problems. Has anyone else experienced these issues?
1. When I jog with it (which is very often), it often skips.
2. Several times the purchased music has stopped playing altogether. When I try to play purchased songs, they just skip directly to the next song. The problem is temporarily solved when I restore my Nano, but it then resurfaces within 2 or 3 days- and I have to restore it again. Bottom line, it's a recurrent issue.
3. In the last 3 days, I can't turn off my Nano (it has nothing to do with the "hold" switch being out of place). It operates otherwise normally, but nothing happens when I hold down the "play/pause" button. I tried resetting it and restoring it, but the problem isn't solved.
I can't seem to find any good references in the Troubleshooting tips Apple has posted.
Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me on solving any of these 3 issues.

Numbers 1 and 2 may be related. The iPod nano will not skip just because you are jogging (it does not have a harddrive).

New ipod nano with problems: Is my new ipod nano ejecting correctly?

My new 4th gen. ipod nano was doing all sorts of wacky things with the sync disconnection process like requiring a manual eject when it shouldnt do that (enable disk use and manual music checkboxes were not checked) so I had to restore it and now I am not sure if it is completely fixed so could you please tell me if the process below is the normal disconnect process when a sync concludes on an ipod nano 4th gen:
1. In itunes, display at top of window says, "ipod sync is complete", but it does not show "ok to disconnect" underneath that like when I sync my iphone.
2. On the ipod nano display though, it says a brief "Ejecting-You may now disconnect" and then turns into a progress bar that lasts for about 10 seconds and says "OK to disconnect" next to it, then after the progress bar completes, it goes to the normal ipod menu home screen.
It seems to me that it should say OK to disconnect in the itunes window and then in the nano screen it should immediately return to the home screen just like it does with my iphone.
So, is my ipod now operating normally or is it still buggy?
Thanks for your help!

Are you clicking the little eject button that is next to the name of the ipod in iTunes?

Need help with new ipod nano

Wonder if anyone could help I had the 3rd generation nano and I have just purchased the fifth generation model. Am I able to plug it into my computer and it will link with my i tunes library even though it was previously linked to the 3rd gen model?
Sorry if this sounds like a daft question.

You can sync as many iPods as you want to any given iTunes library. iTunes will recognize each one as unique with its own settings.
Best of luck.

Put it in a baggie when you exercise with it or get a plastic plug for the dock connector. Sweat will kill it.

ITunes not working with new iPod

After recently getting a new iPod, I cant get it to work.
The problem is no tin the iPod, Im sure of that. The problem occurs with any iPod on the system.
The problem is that when the iPod is plugged in, it recognizes it, but not as an iPod. At first we thought it was because of other USB devices on the computer, and removed them. One of the devices was an external hard drive, which has all of my iTunes music on it. We moved the external drive to a different networked computer, and made it a network folder. That way we can access all of our iTunes music from a different computer.
That works very well...All of our music can play fine, but the iPod is still not recognized. It says that the firmware on the iPod is corrupt, and asks if we want to restore it. Click yes, and we get error 1418.
How do we fix this?

hmmmmm. you're not getting the classical symptoms of the following issue. but since the PC is networked to other drives, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
