what is up with the iPod nano 7th gen.  I just had a second one die.  both after only 3 weeks of useage... both dead since Jan 10th 2013.

this is an answer I just gave to someone else.
i'm going to ask you to try something I just did to fix a maybe simular problem that worked..... but I don't know why yet........make sure your iPod in plugged into your computer (mine is a Mac) and iTunes is turned on. My iPod  was  also "dead" but had been plugged into my computer for a couple of hours (but not lit up in any way).  Then (in desperation) I held down all the buttons, the on/off (on top right), the small Home botton at the bottom of the face, and the volume/pause buttons (left side).  For whatever reasons my iPod came back to life in a needs restoring mode ....and asked me to restore it in the itunes like "new'  iPod connected mode.  Since I have a Mac I also had to give permission to do a download by entering my computer password. If you have to do the same have that password ready. Then it did a restore software download.  Everything previously on the iPod was erased and had to be re-synced,  but I was just thankful to get it up and restored again.
Give this a shot and I hope it works for you.....but  why? I don't know yet, I need more questions answered.

    If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • I recently purchased a bluetooth headphone set that I have been able to pair to my iphone6 , but it is not showing up on my ipod nano 7th gen, anyone else had a similar problem ?

  • Does anyone know if the Sony JamBox RDHGTK33IP 420W is compatible with the ipod nano 7th generation?

    It doesn't say so on the box, just the ipod nano 6th and earlier. I am hoping someone already tried using the 7th and has an answer.

    Hello Jay,
    Welcome to the Sony Community.
    The Sony RDH-GTK33iP Home Audio Docking System is not compatible with iPod Nano 7th generation.
    Thank you for your post.

  • Can't the iPod nano 7th gen. VoiceOver function identify which language that is being used? My iPod Shuffle can.

    I am very satisfied with my iPod SHUFFLE (last version), especially with the VoiceOver function which is (quite) able to  identify correctly which language is being used in every song: For a Norwegian artist / a song in Norwegian, the artist and title is pronounced in Norwegian; for a French artist / a song in French, the artist and title is pronounced in French; for an English artist / a song in English, the artist and title is pronounced in English etc. A really impressive and useful function!
    I was very surprised and dissatisfied to find that my new iPod nano 7th generation does not seem to work this way: I am able to select the language to be used in VoiceOver, but then this language is used in everything that is pronounced. Most of my music is in English language, so this is what I have selected. But to hear Norwegian artists' names and Norwegian titles pronounced with an English-speaking voice is quite disturbing.
    I believe I have been through all possible settings in the nano and in iTunes to correct this, but I am unable to find a solution. I have also asked people at an Apple store, but they were unable to help. Can anybody help? Or is it really possible that this excellent function has been removed?
    (Could it be that the previous version of iTunes could fix the problem? I have installed the last one, v. 11.0.1.12.)

  • How can I lock the screen on ipod nano 7th gen?

    How can I lock the ipod nano 7th gen? Just pressing the top button doesnt cut it as it still starts to play music or pauses or change volume with the slightest knock im in 2 minds to take it back if you cant lock it as ive only had it 4 days and already found this a huge problem!

    Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
    That's an old discussion about (failure vs feature), but I wonder about if you are running, you can let the screen locked and still change or pause the song by pressing the buttons on the side of the iPod)
    hope I could help you

  • Is there a way to listen to radio on iPod nano 7th gen with Bluetooth headphones?

    I know the iPod nano 7th gen uses the headphones as an antenna. I know there will need to be some sort of antenna attached. Does anybody know if there is an antenna on the market that can be plugged into the headphone jack that will allow audio to be sent to a pair of Bluetooth headphones?

    There is currently no such antenna available.
