Traded a video for a nano

Yesterday morning I had traded my iPod video for a nano and I cannot sync it in iTunes, I have a feeling that it's becuase it doesn't have the right firmware, but if you could provide a link to a download or some other help please. Thank you in advance.

Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

  • What format do videos for the Nano have to be in?

    I have videos that are already in MP4 format that will not upload to the 7th gen nano. They are not high def cause they were taken with a phone ... is there a converter out there that I DON'T have to pay for. This is ridiculous that the kid such an amazing gift and they can't use it due to all the proprietary #$%@& you have to go through just so they can use it.

    All of the encoding parameters supported by the 5G iPod are on the tech specs on the Apple site:
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
    See the row "Video Support" about midway down the page.
    On the Mac, I've been using Handbrake to encode videos to MP4 for the iPod, works great. There's an article or blog entry somewhere with all the details, but unfortunately I don't have it handy.

  • Exchanged my broken ipod video for a nano

    I purchased a 2GB white ipod nano a month or so ago. then i saw they released a video ipod. well of course i had to have it. so i returned my nano and bought one of the first video ipods in white 30GB. well a few days later i started hearing weird noises from the hard drive. like a clunking screetching. i immediately knew the hard drive was failing. took it to the apple store to have a mac genius look at it and of course it was a bad hard drive. they obviously let me exchange it for another.....but instead of getting another video ipod i got another 4GB white nano. i just feel like the nano is more durable (at least the insides are) and will last alot longer. also it will be skip free. and after holding both in my hand the nano just fits alot better. the new video ipod is thin but it is wide and is more akward to use with one hand than the nano is. i know there are some of you that bought a nano and now want a video ipod, and i am hear to say be happy with the nano. it is a very nice music player.

    another interesting thing is that my nano has been in my pocket all day and does not have a scratch on it. not even a hair. looks right out of the box. could apple have finally fixed the problem? is this the end of the nanos that scratch so easly???? my first nano scratched like it was made out of candy.

  • Trading a 5g for a nano

    I have a 5g and my son has a nano. Each of us has itunes set up on our respective computers.
    We want to exchange ipods: I want the nano and he wants the 5g.
    What do we need to do to "start over" with each ipod?

    With the iPod updater, simply do a reset of both iPod.

  • Matias Armor for iPod nano

    Well, I received mine today and despite a few minor issues, I think this is an excellent case. My nano fits very good in it an I have the Martin Fields Overlay plus on it as well, though this device does have screen protection. It does have a couple of flaws in my opinion, but they are minor.
    1) The included lanyard must be designed for a young teenager or something. I'm a 36¾ year old man... And I'm 6'1" tall... Putting this over my head looks like a choker chain... No thanks... I have other lanyards though.
    2) The click-wheel hole seems slighlty off center.. could be an illusion though because of the hinge.
    Overall, I give this an A... where I gave the iSkin an A- and the zCover's re-evaluated grade is a C- because the click wheel is very difficult to use through it.
    Finally, I have the case I will settle with. It is very sturdy and I trust it to safegaurd my nano from scratches and stuff. Those interested should check it out.. here is a link.

  • Trading for a Nano?

    I was wondering if there was anywhere i could exchange my 20 gig. 4th generation ipod for a Nano. I got my first ipod in july of last year, and had a problem with it, so in june of this year i got a brand new one because of the warranty. is anyone interested in mine? is it worth it for a trade? i am looking to skateboard and run and have it in my pocket alot.
    - thanks for the help

    Eric, you would probably just have to sell your current iPod on eBay and use the money towards a new iPod nano. Although there are sites to sell you Mac for an upgrade, I don't know of any for an iPod...

  • Why haven't I been able to watch YouTube videos for months? :(

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue I've been having...
    I have an older MacBook Pro (bought July 2007) running OS 10.4.11, that hasn't been able to access YouTube or YouTube videos for the past several months. When trying to access the website on Firefox or Safari, the page takes forever to load and I get the "Connection has timed out" error. I've tried loading it on several different wireless connections, none of which should have any firewalls/proxies set. Embedded YouTube videos don't show up (there's just a blank space where they should be), and embedded HD YouTube videos will show the first frame but will not load or play.
    I've never had any problems with YouTube before, but didn't turn my computer on between Feb and May of this year (I was traveling). I figured I must have missed some important update. But I'm currently running the most recent versions of Firefox (3.6.9) and Safari (4.0.3), Adobe Flash (10.1), Quicktime (7.6.4), and Java (v9 for OS 10.4). Updating these hasn't helped any. I also reinstalled Firefox entirely.
    I don't have any issues loading any other websites, or playing/viewing other kinds of embedded videos, or any other videos. As far as I can tell, my internet browsers don't have any firewalls or blocks set up. Other laptops and desktops on the same wireless connections I've tried can access the site and embedded videos without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try? I'd love to be able to get back on YouTube...
    thank you in advance!
    -Ann

    I understand that you can not access youtube website at all .. this can be due to a variety of reasons ..
    what you describe looks like a dns resolution error .. try this
    go to terminal and type
    sudo nano /Private/Etc/Hosts
    you will be prompted for your password ..enter it and note that your input won't be visible ..
    if all goes well you will see something like this :
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    if you see that try adding these lines EXACTLY AS YOU SEE underneath that page
    74.125.43.103 youtube.com
    74.125.43.103 www.youtube.com
    and press control and X together on your keyboard
    now back at the terminal type exit and hit return
    reboot your machine ..
    see how it goes
    hope this helps

  • Video quality of Nano

    Got the new Nano and I am underwhelmed with the video quality of the new video camera. I have a mid priced Nikon Cool Pix camera that takes much better video.
    Nano users, how is your video quality? Mine certainly doesn't look like the video clips on the Apple site that are advertised for the Nano. Maybe I am doing something wrong or my Nano is not up to spec?
    Thanks.

    As with ANY camera, you have to hold it steady to get sharp video. IMHO, the 5G is NOT a camera. It just happens to have a video camera built-in for those times when you need a video camera, but you left your "A" camera home.
    I have a 42" HD TV at home that does a better job watching movie than my Nano, but once again, the Nano video playback is for when I'm on the move.
    I just don't understand why all you critics need to tear down the Nano (mainly a audio player, the IP mainly a phone, the IT because it doesn't have all the goodies the IP has, etc).
    I like my Apple tech toys for what they do.

  • Video IPod & IPod Nano won't work on Vista 64-bit system

    I recently updated my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system on my Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad PC. Somehow, I have a problem using my Video Ipod & Ipod Nano. After downloading the latest Itune+Quicktime & plugging in the USB cord connecting my IPods, i got this blue screen & different error message. When I reboot my PC, it won't run my OS unless I unplugged my Ipods. I tried istalling the old IPod software that comes with the IPod without any luck. Any idea on what's causing this problem? Are there any patch for Vista 64-bit that make the OS work with IPod?

    Hi,
    I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
    I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
    NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
    Anyone have a solution to the problem?

  • I can't sync a music video to my Nano

    I just got my first 2GB Nano for christmas. I purchased and downloaded a George Strait music video but it won't sync to my ipod. The ipod came with a music video playlist on it by the video just won't sync. What do I do?

    Unfortunately, the iPod nano does not have the ability to play videos due to the fact that it is not an iPod VIDEO. A nano does however, have the ability to store and show photos. Sorry for the disappointing news. Maybe if you really want you can save up for an iPod video although I don't recommend it because nano's are just as good as a video.
    Cheers,

  • Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

    Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
    Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
    McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

    I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
    *The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
    You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
    "Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
    If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.

  • Does anyone know how to put videos on ipod nano

    I cant find out how to put videos on my IPOD NANO....its says u could and i know someone who does so i know it is possible but how do i do it.

    I don't know who told you that you could put videos on your nano but I wouldn't rely on them for any stock tips either.
    Nanos don't support video.
    Sorry.

  • Would Ipod Video hurt the Nano sells?

    I ask this because Apple released the Nano not long ago, and now, they are releasing the Ipod Video.
    Lots of people seems to be jumping in into the Ipod Video and wanting to sell their Nano.
    What I am wondernig is, do you think Ipod Video is a successer to the Ipod Nano? Or are they in a seperate market that attracts different people?

    Yea. I guess you guys are right. Apple does know what they are doing.
    I would much rather have the Nano too. I never carry all my musics with me. I just carry the ones that i like the most and 4 G is more than enough for that. And I would never watch video on that thing. LOL that is what my labtop and TV is for.
    Nano is perfect for me cause itz soo small and convienent.
    Ipod Video, although smaller than the previous Ipod, is still very chunky compare to the Nano.
