So is the 7th generation iPod Nano in fact a 6th generation iPod Nano with a software upgrade only ?

I went to buy a 7th Generation Nano from a local Apple store and when I gto home to set it up, I found out that it had the old software (i.e. small icons and only two clock faces). I took it back to the Apple store and they informed me that it was the latest model (i.e. 6th gen) and that I had to update the Software to make it a 7th gen model..... this all seems contrary to the following article on the 7th gen tear down....

Same thing with us.  We were told that no "new" stock was brought in to the store, just they lowered the price on the current xtg inventory, so buy it now as you don't need the nike kit.  Here's apple's own link showing gen 6 as current:
http://support.apple.com/specs/#Nano
Seems like a good way to inject a few more sales as the "new version" at the keynote got our attention.  The gen is moot for us as it seems to be working for us so far as it held a charge overnight powered off.  We still are testing that it doesn't drain down too fast for our uses running.  If it works for what you want, does it really matter what you or someone else wants to call it?

If you want, need, and the item works for you - just buy it and enjoy it.

    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • While trying to upgrade to mavericks I received the following error during download "OS 10.9 has not yet been approved for software upgrade. Thanks! -SWN IT"

    Hello,  I am trying to upgrade an iMac to Mavericks. At the end of the download phase, a message pops up that says
    "OS 10.9 has not yet been approved for software upgrade. Thanks! - SWN IT" 
    The download stops, and I cannot resume. Made several attempts to start the process of downloading again and receive the same message/error.
    I am not familiar with any software that has the intials SWN or have SWN in the title. 
    Does this error look familiar to anyone? 
    Any clues as to how to find out the what application could be sending this message would be greatly apprciated.

    Is this on a Mac that belongs to a company or did you buy it used?

  • Audio/Voice Recorder for iPod [video] classic 160 GB Silver 6th Generation?

    Hi, I'm looking for a voice recorder for my iPod, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my version, and which one is best.
    i.e. Belkin TuneTalk, Griffin iTalk, etc. (I don't know which one is compatible, and then which one is best.)
    This is the iPod I have:
    Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-classic-Silver-Generation/dp/B000JO7RVC
    I've been doing research on the matter, but due to conflicting reports, I am left in ultimate confusion.
    So I thought it would be best to ask the experts.
    Thanks!

    tunetalk & classic: No way.
    I am having endless trouble with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
    I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
    background: Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.]
    Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
    Had a ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
    Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode. & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
    I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
    As iDude80n said about asking experts? Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work? Will post as separate question.

  • Shuffle resets on 6th Generation Nano

    I like to listen to my playlists on shuffle, but I don't like to hear the same song too frequently.  On my 6th gen iPod Nano, my shuffle resets itself if I let it power down.  In other words, I might turn off my iPod with the track listing reading "23 of 100," and when I turn it on in the morning, the song I was listening to is queued up to exactly where I left off, but the track listing reads "1 of 100."  I never had this problem on the 4th or 5th gen Nanos.  Any ideas on how (or if) this can be fixed?

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features

  • 6th Generation Classic - External Speakers

    Previously, I had a 5th Generation Classic iPod (60GB) that when connected to external speakers, had an option (within the Speakers menu) to show large album cover artwork during song play.  And when a song was playing, the album cover, on a black background, filled the display.
    I'm now using a 6th Generation Classic (120GB) and the Speakers menu does not offer the "large album cover while playing" option. I've search throughout the various menus, and so far, have not found such a setting.
    Can this be done on a 6th Generation?      (Is so, where's it selected?)

    This is the ipod touch forum.
    Maybe you should post i the ipod classic forum.

  • 5th or 6th generation question...

    Hi,
    I am based in the UK and want to buy a 80gb video ipod, many websites are marketing 6th generation but Amazon (UK best price) and others are selling as 5th generation, i assume there must be some difference??
    Thanks
    Michael

    There is no such thing as a 6th generation iPod.
    There is a revised 5th generation often referred to as a "late 2006 model", or a "5.5 generation".
    If you're looking at the 80gb version, it will be the latest - regardless where you purchase. The early version of the 5g was only available in 30gb and 60gb sizes - the 80gb capacity was introduced with the "late 2006" release.
    Cheers!

  • Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

    I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
    1- games
    2- voice memo

    1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
    2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.

  • Is the 7th generation Nano capable of playing podcast's continuously?

    Just purchased the 7th Generation Nano and have discovered it will only play one podcast at a time and not go to the next one in the order automatically.  After doing research, I have learned that I can get it to play all the podcast in order only after I have created playlists, this seems to be a bit akward.  Is this the only option there is?  I read on this forum where someone was having just the opposit issue, their Nano was playing all the podcasts one after the other without having to do it manually.

    I am super intrigued by your question!
    I have an ipod nano 7th gen and I can not play only one podcast at a time no matter how hard I try.
    Searching the internet for information only finds people with the exact opposite problem of yours: everybody seem to only be able to play them continuously. That is what happens to me as well.
    How are you able to play 1 podcast episode and have it stop right there when it ends?
    I search every couple weeks to see if someone found the way but nothing ever comes up: your comment is the closest I have ever found. I would love to know how you do it.
    Thank you!

  • I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

    I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store.  Let them see what you are seeing.  Only this time............
    Prior to leaving the Apple Store:    ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***
