To clean the ipod nano

Like most of you, I have an ipod nano that after a few days of just being in my pocket, got severely scratched up. It is black, and was really sexy when I took it out of the box, but immediately started getting hairline scratches. I really don't want to cover it with one of the Nano tubes, and I can't order one of those covers online because I don't have a credit card.
I was wondering if the stuff you can buy to clean CD's would work? I found it was pretty good at removing the smaller scratches from a CD, so I thought about trying it here. I just don't want to try it and screw up my ipod even more.

a cleaner won't repair the scratches but there was something called novise #2 or something that was included in another post that was a scratch repair formula. It would buff the scratches out. There was a post about a product called Novus #2 or something like that that the user claimed would repair scratches...

might be something to look at (but at your own risk...)

Hi Whiteshaq4,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Knowledge Base Document #61119 says:
"To clean iPod, unplug all cables and cords and set the Hold switch to Hold. Then use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don't use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives to clean iPod."
Some people do recommend iKlear Cleaning Kit.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Why does my lightening wire not fit the ipod nano 7th gen

Could someone tell me why does my lightening wire now not fit the ipod nano (7th gen)? I push it in but it seems to spring out and not fully connect. I only bought it 1 year ago and it is been great, but now I think it needs to go in the bin

I agree, sounds like there's something in the port on the Nano. Try cleaning it out with a can of compressed air, or a gently with a wooden toothpick.

How to Clean the iPod?

I was wondering how you clean the metal panel on the back of the Nano. I used a tissue with soap and water and it got clean but I have heard people use metal wool to clean the back of their iPods in general.
So how do you really clean the back of the iPod Nano?

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Does the Ipod Nano work with Windows XP SP1???

I studied the system requirements for the ipod nano and there was written, that I need a WinXP with SP2 for it.
Because I use Sound-Software that only works with Windows XP SP1 I have to keep this system, and I now would like to know if that works. Could anyone answer this question??

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 there a way to make the iPod Nano 7 run smoother?

I love the iPod Nano. It's great. I've had mine for something like two years now, and I love it. But lately it's been acting up. It connects to my docking station, but if you touch the iPod in anyway, it will immediately disconnect and stop playing music, even though it's still plugged in. Also, sometimes with earbuds, the music will fizzle, crack, or even stop completely. When used with other devices, the earbuds work fine. So, if you have any ideas on how to fix these problems, please let me know!

Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library". I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes. I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

Does the iPod nano have Bluetooth?

Hello,
I am looking at buying the latest iPod nano, I don't like the standard cable headphones, they get in the way, fall out, get tangled and get pulled out of your ears.
Does the latest model come with Bluetooth connectivity?
thank you.

Onechief:
i10s Bluetooth adapter ($45) - Since the iPod nano 6G doesn’t have Bluetooth, a dongle is your only option. While dozens of choices exist, the i10s BT adapter is the smallest of the lot. When you’re rocking the world’s smallest iPod, you don’t want a big horsey adapter jutting out of the side. At about two-thirds the size of Sony’s BT adapter, the i10s is the perfect fit. The i10s is zero-config and auto-pairs when it’s powered up.
Cheers.

Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

Does the ipod nano can record sounds?

Does the iPod nano can record sounds connecting "headphones with microphone"?

Hi uptight,
Yes, the iPod Nano does support MP4 files.
You can find more information about the files the iPod supports here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
You can convert many videos right from iTunes. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 will walk you through the process with sample files.

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-headset-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!

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.
