Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen

Is there gonna be any software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen for video playback??

Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

  • Does the Ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to headphones. Us older folks would like to use wireless headphones versus earphones with a wire.

    Is the  ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to wireless headphones. I am 57 and do not like earphones and wire. Would like to get the nano. I understand the iphone 4 can use wireless headphones, but i can not wear it on my wrist like a watch. Thank you. techie mawmaw.

    What is your price range. I know exactly what you are talking about. I always used headphones while mowing and I used to runt he cord through my shirt to prevent it from getting caught on the steering controls of the mower but one day the cord came untucked form my pants pocket ripping the cord straight out of the headphone itself. They were nice Sennheisers to!
    I ended up replacing them with these http://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-bluetooth-hea​dset-headphone-smart-mobile-phone-stereo-mm-500-x they are pricey at 330 but will last you many years if they are taken care of. Sennheisers are excellent quality. Best Buy oddly doesnt carry the 500 series they have the 450 and 550 but not the 500. Completely ignore the Beats by Dr. Dre they are horrible for the price point they are!
    The noise cancellation is great and they are very comfortable. Like you I dont care for earbuds as I have tried many and they all hurt my ears and on-ear style would eventually start hurting my outer ear but these are very comfy!

  • For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
    Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
    The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
    My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
    Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
    CD-i200 iPod cable for above
    Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
    I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
    I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
    Apple are you listening??

  • Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

    Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

  • Is it possible to get intermediate info while running with the Ipod Nano 6th gen?

    In the store I was told that the Ipod Nano 6th gen would keep me informed every 500m or every km about my distance, average speed etc.
    The Ipod only tells me AFTER the run what my average speed etc was. Not during my run. Is there a possibility to get this info during my run? The store does not know the answer.

    Do you have the Spoken Feedback setting set to On under Settings -> Fitness on the iPod?

  • Will there be a download for existing ipod nano 6th gen owners?

    I just wanted to know if existing ipod nano 6th gen owners will be able to download an update for the new features?

    There seems to be some confusion about old vs new 6th gen nanos and this update.
    What was announced was ONLY a software update. For those of you that bought your Nano 6th Gen last year, you will get ALL the features noted in the release yesterday.
    The most common confusion seems to relate to the fitness app and using the step count dongle with Nike+. There is NO NEW HARDWARE in the Nano to allow the device to work without the dongle. The folks at Apple have worked their software Mojo to allow the accelerometer to do the job of the dongle that used to get stuck in your shoe.
    Hope that helps,

  • Will there ever be an update where I can have a personalized wallpaper on the clock screen on the iPod Nano 6th Gen?

    I LOVE using my 6th Gen iPod Nano as a watch, but I'd love to be able to change the watch face to be customized with a picture from my album. It would be like having a personalized watch for any occasion. Is there any plans in the works to make this happen?
    Having the watch be digital would be nice too.

    Since this is a user to user message board and we are all end users like yourself, no one knows the answer to your question.

  • What will  the replacement be for the ipod nano 1st gen

    Would like to know if anybody knows what will the replacement be? Also has anybody received it? I'm still waiting for the box will be 3rd week waiting.....thanks for any information

    Apple appears to be replacing 1st generation nanos with the same product - 1st gen nanos. The only difference seems to be that the new ones do not have any personal engraving.
    Be sure you stop using your old nano.
    Best of luck.

  • Update for the iPod touch 4th gen

    Hi, I have a iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 4.1 (Yes, really old.) And i've never updated an apple device and I need some help about it.
    I did backup the iPod but when I go to update it, it gives me a warning saying "Some purchased files on here are not bla bla bla" And i'm thinking, when I backed it up did everything get onto my computer?
    And do the photos sync with it aswell? Because I have photos I can't loose.

    The backup does not include any iTunes content.  You can transfer purchases from idevice to computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The photos taken with the iPhone are not part of the sync.  You should be importing them as you would with any digital camera.

  • Do I get an Universal Dock Adapter for the iPod nano 7. gen?

    I allready have the universal dock connector, but with the new Lightning Connector it is not working.
    I can't imagine to connect the new iPod nano with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter?!
    Will the iPod fit the universal dock with it?
    Anyone with some experiences to share?
    Thanks!

    I am affraid that the iPod will not stay in place and tip over if i place the Lighting to 30-pin adapter on top on my universal dock and then attach my iPod to it!
    There must be a better solution!
