TS3474 Why does my 6th gen nano spontaneously lose sound?

I wear the nano in a wristband when I run/exercise and any song could be playing and suddenly the sound just decreases down to no sound.  And after I attempt to adjust/turn the volume back up, the sound decreases to nothing.  I've tried to reset the ipod, turn off/on and it still doesn't function properly.  Why does this happen?  I've read that it could be because it is overheated because it is too close to the body however it is in a watch cradle so it isn't even touching my skin.

I'm going to the apple store tomorrow for them to advise what the problem is...otherwise they'll be replacing it.  I bought this not even 6 months ago and I shouldn't be having problems.  Especially if it is overheating...what's the point of a device you're supposed to work out with that won't let you because it overheats??  WTH?

    how does the 6th gen nano screen view from 2 different positions

    Same as the current Ipod Video or "Classic" there is an option under settings to toggle between original aspect ratio or Full Screen.

  • Does the 6th gen nano have a mecanical or piezoelectric accelerometer?

    I know that there are basically two types of pedomenters: mecanical/spring action and piezoelectric. They maybe 2 or three axis acceleromenters but when it comes to sensors, its one or the other. One has to be vertical to trigger properlly and the other can be thrown in a pocket because it doesn't have to be in a certain position to work. Now this one says that it has a 3 axis acceleromenter but is that mechanical or piezoelectric? I don't hear a click so that makes me think that it must be piezoelectric but you know what they say about assuming things. I can't find this spelled out anywhere except that in the version that required a shoe sensor had a piezoelectric sensor in the shoe. However they say we don't need the shoe sensor anymore, soooooo....does that mean we have it in the 6th gen nano itself? I'd love to know.

    Run-mofo,
    That's great news.
    The reason I don't just delete the 'feat' bit is three fold:
    First, like Erik Dyson, I want things to work properly. Second, I like to know who is being "featured" so, if that track strikes me because of the contribution of the featured artist, I can find more information about the featured artist. Finally, I just like to have as much information accessible to me as possible.
    Now, the question is, does my Mini Cooper (BMW) iPod control software will use the iPod OS to identify the artist for the "Artist" category or if the Mini Cooper software will ignore the "Sort Artist" ...

  • Why does my 6th gen iPod keep pausing

    It just randomly pauses and has done since I had it 4 years ago. I stupidly didn't take it back and stopped using it after a month cuz it did my head in. Just got it back out and wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix it or any other solutions?

    Is it possibly pausing when the screen goes out while you are listening?

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

  • 6th Gen Nano skipping songs

    Hi all
    I have a 6th Gen Nano that i recieved as a replacement for a 1st gen.  It has been working perfectly until recently when i noticed that it started to skip some songs.  It is not all songs that are affected but a significant proportion of them.  The songs play fine through iTunes and are also ok on my iPhone 4 and also used to play fine on the Nano but not any more.
    The songs affected come from different places (CD Rips, Amazon etc) and looking at the file i can see nothing that could cause the problem.  I have created a blank itunes library and added the affected songs to it before syncing with my Nano but this still causes the same problem.  The Nano has been wiped but this doesnt help.  It is running version 1.2 of the software which i think is the latest.
    I have taken it to the Genius Bar where it was wiped and some diagnostics run on it but this didnt help either.  I paid for a replacement 6th Gen Nano (it was out of warranty) but this nano exibited the same problem with the same songs.  I have been refunded the cost of the replacement but still have a very tiny brick at the moment that i cannot use.
    It seems that the Nano doesnt like some of the songs for some reason and when going through the sync process it doesnt sync all of them even though they appear on the iPod the mp3 file may be missing when i look at it in finder.
    As the song plays in iTunes and on my iPhone it is perplexing as to why it doesnt on the Nano.  Does anyone know of a way to identify if a song will not play on the Nano as at the moment i am putting them on there and seeing which work and which dont.  As they used to work on there i am not sure what to do.
    Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.
    Cheers
    Simon

  • HOW do I get the "watch" to stay on and not shut off on my 6th GEN  NANO?

    After purchasing a $70 cool watchband for my new 6th GEN NANO, I'm very disapointed that I can't get the "watch" function to stay on more than 15 seconds.  AppleCare says that it isn't meant to stay on, it would run down the battery.  Then why put on 16 watch faces, and show it as a "watch" on everything you publish?  Doesn't make sense you can watch TV shows and movies, but doesn't have enough battery to run a watch face.   BAD design, and shame on APPLE for selling a dozen different watchbands in their stores.  Now don't you think the store salesman would say "are you thinking of wearing this as a watch, or to hold your NANO while you are at the gym"?   15 seconds is often not enought time to get setup and take someone's blood pressure.  I don't think I need to offer an explanation of WHY a watch should work more than 15 seconds without pushing a button, do I? 

    This is getting silly, but I'm not too young to remember the early digital watches.  The difference is that we knew what we were buying .  jThey were upfont about the FACT that the watches didn't stay on.  And how well did they sell as watches?  Hmmm    I don't think any of us said that Apple was pushing Nano primarily as a watch.  That said, this is not a third party "app" either .... 18 clock faces come with the Nano as a "feature" of the product. It's not a "digital time read out"... it's made to look and act like a watch.   Apples own website touts that you can change its face "to match your mood or your outfit".... The  bands they sell range from $20 bucks to like $150 bucks....   This is a HUGE money maker for them.   It is THESE KINDS OF FEATURES that brings people back buying new ipods, because like I said, without them, I have plenty of devices that already "record music", or "store pictures".    And your other points have zero merit.  Go to the Apple website to the Nano 6 page where Apple touts all of its merits. This is where Apple explains the features of their product.  There is a whole section:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
    Clock faces. Time to match your mood. Or your outfit.
    (copy below)
    It’s all in the wrist.
    Do you wear your iPod nano on a watchband? With 18 different clock face designs to choose from, you can have a new watch style whenever the mood strikes you. Sport an analog face for a formal event, go digital for a retro feel, or choose a whimsical, animated character like Mickey Mouse or Kermit the Frog. There are also color options so you can match the color of your iPod nano. iPod nano watchbands are available in a range of styles and colors from theApple Online Store.
    And last, for the record Sir, I have probably purchased 50 Apple products for myself, my business, and as gifts in the last 10 years.  I have had my manufacturing issues which Apple always responsibly took care of.  But I have NOT ONCE complained in this forum about ANYTHING. I am a HUGE Apple fan.  I felt strongly enough, that this issure warranted warning others about.  Mostly, I wanted APPLE to understand the gaff and perceptual problem which was created. Perhaps not to all (like to you), but certainly to some (obviously like me). Let's face it, we BOTH represent groups of the public, like it our not.  Especially, since I rarely talk to Apple staff, I'm an early adopter, and for some reason, I hesitated on this product and did talk to a couple staff members when I was in the store FOR OTHER THINGS. I bought one for myself, and three for gifts.  I've already returned the ones I bought as gifts, because when I showed my neices and nephews MINE, and the disfunction of the watch, they all lost interest in keeping theirs, and opted for other Apple devices instead.  And if you still don't think they are marketing this Nano as a watch more than  iphone, touch, pad, or classic, then I throw up my arms, and say Happy New Year.  You are Apple washed and whipped beyond repair. NOBODY is perfect, not even Apple.  Or, you.

    My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?

    And a couple more suggestions.
    The Generic PCL Laser Printer included with Lion will only print in black and white. So open Print & Scan, select the Konica printer, click on Options & Supplies and then select the Driver tab. Ensure this does not show Generic PCL Laser.
    And, there is also a Generic Postscript printer driver included with Lion that does print in colour. So to rule out an issue with the KM driver, create another queue to the printer but this time select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu and see if this prints in colour.
