Running with nano 7th gen and sweat

I've had my nano since Christmas. I run with it attached to my arm with the Belkin arm band. When I complete my runs, I pull the nano out and find that its list on the back of the unit from my sweat seeping through the band. Last night my nano died. I unable to get any display or a y action when plugging it to iTunes. Has anyone else had this problem? Not sure if its a defective nano or if in fact it was the sweat that got to it. If it was the sweat, how does anyone exercise with one and keep it dry.

Put the iPod in you pocket next time, or if you are using Nike iPod, buy a clip and attach/clip it to your hip. This is a weird problem. You can get answers from the many other people experiencing this same problem and asking this same question on apple support communities. You can also ask apple by sending a complaint or just do a traditional web search on google. Sorry about your iPod):

Hello i just bought an iPod Nano 7th gen and it got crushed the same day. Can i get a replacement?

I went to walmart and bought a 16 gb silver nano 7th gen. Upon paying for it i regretfully said no when they offered me insurance or w/e it is. So i go home, charge it and upload my music to it and head out to the gym.
Now i know most of you are gonna think i crushed it with some weights but nope. When i finished my workout i left and got on my car. When i closed the door it bounced back and i heard a crush. I look down and it appears the ipod fell out of my pocket and it got destroyed. It still turns on but the mteal is bent, the screen is all tiny shards of glass and the image behind the glass is all messed up now.
A little vent here but i honestly have the worst luck ever.
Now is it possible to get a replacement somehow?

IPod nano 7th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize Headphones

I have a brand new iPod nano (7th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted or that the headphone jack has dust inside. As i always do on a regular basis with mp3 devices, i cleaned out the jack to be sure
This is what happens:
When music is not playing i hear a crackle pop sound every 2 seconds or so. My headphones are perfectly fine and work with my Samsung galaxy s4 and my old iPod touch, and my brothers iPhone. Just don't work with iPod nano. I have 3 pairs of headphones all which do not work but I do not have the original headphones. they are so uncomfortable and seems unfair to me that apple would have a one size fits al headphone that only works with the device. I do not intend on switching.
When I play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if I let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the iPod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
When I try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iPhone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the iPod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
I have also restored the device in iTunes, and updated with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the nano's headphones jack. It should "click" into place. The fit may be tighter than expected, especially when new. There is a sensor in there, and if the plug is not completely inserted, you may get some sound, but the nano will not "sense" the headphones.
If that is not the problem, you should have the nano looked at under warranty. It should work with any standard headphones. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.

Ipod nano 7th gen sync issue

I have just bought a new ipod nano 7th gen and am having issues with syncing it to my PC. On my devices the ipod is there and recognised as such, but in iTunes the ipod doesn't exist at all. I have the latest version of iTunes but can't find a way to access the iPod at all - any ideas?
The iPod is recognised on the family laptop (macbook), but not the PC. The issue is that there is some music on the PC that's not on the laptop and so would be helpful to access it via the PC and not just the macbook.

If the video is HD, the resolution is too high for the iPod's screen, so iTunes will not sync the video.
If this is a purchase from the iTunes Store, and you paid for the HD version, you may be entitled to also download the SD version (at no cost), which should sync to the iPod.
FYI - There is a command in iTunes to create a new version of the video, which should sync to iPods
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
However, videos purchased from the iTunes Store (such as movies and TV shows) have copy protection, so that command is disabled.

Music keeps cutting out on my ipod nano 7th gen when using bluetooth

I just recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen and the music keeps cutting out when I use bluetooth headphones. It seems like it needs to have a line of sight or else the music will cut out. If I hold the ipod in my hands while running or keep it in my pocket, I am listening to more pauses than actual music. I practically have to hold the Ipod up to my head while running to not have it cut out on me (and that is obviously not comfortable). Is this how it should be or do I have a faulty Ipod? Is there some way that I can fix it or do I need to take it to the Apple store?

thankfully I was just able to find the answer in another member's post. You can double click the side button to advance the songs. I credit member little goomba for sharing the answer on another post. Now I am back to loving my new Nano!

How to stream movies from an ipod nano 7th gen

I just bought an iPod nano 7th gen and I own an Apple TV and a lightning connector to hdmi cable. Is there a way to put movies from my iPod on my tv

The 6th gen nano could not play videos, so it certainly could not stream them to a TV. It may have been able to show photo slideshows on a TV screen.
The 5th gen nano (plus 3rd and 4th gen) may have had the ability, but I don't think its output was HDMI. You could use this
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
to output a composite (non-digital) signal to a TV. But the new nano has a Lightning connector, so I probably won't work (even if you use an adapter).

Ipod Nano 7th Gen Lighting Oddity

I just recently bought a new Ipod Nano 7th Gen. and I've noticed that there is a large oval-shaped area in the middle that is darker than the surrounding area. It covers over half of the screen. It just seems like uneven lighting; the middle is simply darker and there is a distinct ovular edge where you can see the change. It is quite noticeable on certain screens. Has anyone ever heard of this problem? Also, if I were to take the Ipod back to the retail location I bought it at and showed them the defect, could I get an exchange?
Thanks

I also have an iPod nano 7th gen and I noticed the exact same thing! At first I thought it was because of a thumb swipe or something. It's bothering me.

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

Using windows 8 - receive message "ipod detected but cannot be identified" when connecting ipod nano 7th gen. Have unisntalled and reinstalled itunes from apple site as advised with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it please?

This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)

IPod Nano 7th Gen Info Voice Over Continually Runs

I bought my Ipod Nano 7th Gen last year and for several months now ive had a issue with the voice over of track information that occurs when holding down the pause/play button on the side of the ipod. The voiceover continues to run and i am unable to stop it, meaning that i have to just turn my device off and leave it. I have tried turning it on and off, the voice continues to run once turned back on, i have reset it, restored it and the voice continues to play over. I find that i have to turn it off and leave it for a while until i can use it again with out the voice over contstantly yelling track information at me. The voice over generally only does this when i am using my headphones and more commonly when i am listening to a podcast, however it still occurs when listening to music. The actually accessbilbity voice over is turned off and i have tried everything i can to stop this from driving me crazy. Is this a glitch in my ipod, should i head to a genius bar or is there some other way of fixing it that i have not come across.
Thank You AnB

Hi there Kaetrin
It sounds like you have already tried a few things, but article below outlines a few settings for Spoken menus you may have missed.

I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it. So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it. Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one? I only have about 30.

AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup.

My ipod nano (7th gen) seems to be stuck in a loop of turning itself on and off, tried rebooting but keeps doing it?

Hi altofts,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can try resetting and restoring your iPod nano to see if that helps with the restart loop:
