Why can't i charge Nano while listening to Nano?

I've got my Nano plugged into its desk stand, and the audio plugged into my speakers. But when I plug the USB into any computer (office PC or home Mac) the Nano stops playing and just sits and charges. Is this an intentional design feature of Nano? I am able to simultaneously charge and listen to my 1st Gen iPod (connected via firewire) without any problems...making the Nano not quite as convenient to use.
I haven't loaded iTunes onto my work PC and don't want to, because it's not my property and IT frowns on it. Besides, I don't want to have to fool with iTunes every time I plug the Nano into USB... all I want is to play the Nano while charging it.

Switch the iPod to Manual Syncing before going to work, then when you plug into the work PC it will only charge but not take command of the iPod so you can still play it.

Why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth

why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth. i wanted to use wireless feature at work but i only use the radio at work , so i bought bluetooth stereo headphones by plantronics, got the backbeat 903, at wal-mart . got home got it all set up and works fine but not for radio , i'm so dissaponted and am thinking i might take them back and continue using the wire ware , but then again i like listening to my podcast while doing dishes and chores at home so the bluetooth would be better for that .

i have sent a feedback form to apple about this problem . i hope that they work on a sulotion for it .

why can't I charge my ipod shuffle gen 2 on my new Windows 8.1 computer?

Hello, jmjapple.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is some information you may find helpful when experiencing issues charging an iPod shuffle. Make sure to test with another charging cable and avoid using adapters.
For iPod shuffle (2nd generation)
To charge the battery using your computer:
Connect the iPod shuffle dock's USB connector into a high-power USB port on your computer.
Note: To charge a iPod shuffle battery, connect the device to a high-power USB port. Please be aware that USB keyboards and non-powered USB hubs generally do not have high-power USB ports. If you connect to a low or non-powered port, iPod shuffle will not charge.
The computer must be turned on and set to not go to sleep.
Insert the iPod shuffle into the dock.
Verify the iPod shuffle is seated securely in the dock.
Once the iPod shuffle is plugged in, it will take about 2 hours to charge the battery to 80% capacity and about 4 hours to charge it to 100%. Find out how to check the battery charge here. For information on status lights while connected, click here.Note: The computer must be turned on and set to not go to sleep or hibernate.To charge the battery using an iPod USB Power Adapter:
Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected).
Plug the USB connector of the iPod shuffle USB Cable or Dock into the power adapter.
Plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet.
Connect the iPod shuffle to the dock.
Verify the iPod shuffle is connected securely.

Why can't I charge my 5G from AC adapter

Can APPLE answer this once and for all. Why can't I charge my IPOD 5G Video (30g) from a AC USB adapter ??? I can only seem to charge it from a PC USB port. Sometimes it does seem to want to charge from the AC Adapter but very slowly ? Is is a firmware problem ??? I also tried using a cig ligher USB adapter in the car and that doesn't work either (have tried different cables and different adapters so that isn't the problem)...
ANY ANSWERS MR APPLE !!!!!!!!!!!

Well I finally got my "dumb" USB charger (a Belkin F8Z009 Power pack) to work with my iPod 5G 30GB. To wake up the 5G needs to see 2.5 volts on it's data lines. The easiest way to do this is with a voltage divider made with two equal resistors. Like this:
As a poof of concept I made the device below with four 30K resistors but anything from 10K to 50K should work fine.
A more compact wake up cable could be made by cutting into a standard USB male-female extension cable and soldering in four resistors like this:
Of course if your building your own or can get your "dumb" USB charger open then the resistor voltage dividers can go inside.

Why can I only charge from mains ? .

Why can I only charge from mains ? . If I charge via cigarette lighter it says not compatable and trickle charges .
Tried two sources of USB ends and cables .
Is there a software glitch ?

Buy an adapter designed for iPads.

Why can't I charge my Iphone 4s on the actiontec router rev I?

I mean with rev E I could charge my IPhone and with the rev I I can't? Why can't I charge my iphone with the actiontec rev i. I mean the actiontec rev I have 2 blue USB sockets so many usb 3 but it won't charge my Iphone 4s why not when the rev E could? The usb light lights up but no charging to my 4s why not and when I take my iphone 4s from the charger the lights go out but with the charger still on there but not my iphone on the charger.

I don't know what you mean by "right pins". I switched the action back to my rev E since I can't charge my iphone and the rev E can.
I really don't have an answer, other than USB 3 is different, the standard includes 5 more wires in the cable and associated pins in the connectors at each end of the cable. As far as I know the power connector pins are the same for both USB 2 and USB 3, but as I said, my Android phone powers just fine from my Rev. I router, just as it does from the USB 2 ports on my older Actiontec, laptop and DVR. So the USB 3 ports on my Rev. I router most definitely provide power to my Android phone.
Do you have any other devices that offer a USB 3 port that you could try to charge from? Or maybe some other phone or device that you could try on your Rev. I router? If not, maybe you could borrow another cable just to see if your iPhone will charge from the Rev. I router.
Of course it is also possible the USB 3 ports on your router are defective or not powered up for some reason. Do you have a neighbor or friend with a Rev. I that you could test with, or maybe a Verizon store nearby that you could see if it will work there?
I'm sorry, but that is all I can think of for now. Hope you can get it figured out.

Should be possible if you use the optical output from AppleTV and connect it to your sound system..

So you are trying to connect your iPod Shuffle to another computer you don't normally sync it with is that correct? And it won't charge for some reason? How are you connecting it? To a USB or a USB port located directly on the PC?

Why can't you charge while device is off?

Every electronic device I have owned, whether it is a dumb phone, portable radio, or smartphone with the exception of Apple allows you to charge your device when it is turned off. Yet, with Apple, you have to charge it while it is on. When I charge it overnight, it is completed within a few hours but it is still on (sleeping). This is causing the battery to drain even more than when off.
While it is true that batteries will lose their charge no matter what, wouldn't it make more sense to allow to charge the phone while off, like all other devices made so when you turn on the phone, the device has the most possible battery charge unlike the way it is now.

@Meg St._ClairThe device....it won't charge using your method.
And yes, the battery is draining, why wouldnt it? The device is on.
As an experiment, try this: have your battery almost completely dead. Use your method. Then check back in a day or two. Let us know your findings. You will see that the iphone is not charged.

Hello Jr45,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Instead of having me try to explain this one, check out this wonderfully written article by another forum member turingtest2 on organizing content in iTunes. It should be able to assist you with this situation.

Requires the support of Bluetooth Profile A2DP, that's why. Your phone supports such, but it appears your hearing aids do not.

New laptop, why can't I play the songs from my nano? Help!!!

Please help,I have bought a new laptop (windows XP) I plugged in my nano and my songs appeared in

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod to discourage it's use as a device for mass file sharing. However there is a manual (free) method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
Not all the third party programs are commercial offerings and you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
If you want to check out the YamiPod utility it is free but you are also free to make a donation to it's developer if you find it useful: YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Why can't i change units while vi is running on horizonal fill slide?

I have a horizonal fill slide with two sliders and units of sec. I want the user to be able to change the two digital displays from min to sec while the vi is running.
right now, i can change the units on the slider itself correctly, but the digital displays don't update to the new units. how can i get the digital displys to update?

Here's a peice of code that demonstrates it. push the first boolean, wait a bit, push the second, then change the units. the digital display units are not updated.

Why can't I Step Backwards while in Free Transform Mode?

When I ue the Free Transform tool I can't use Step Backwards tough I can use Redo and Undo. I still can use Step Backwards outside of the Free Transform tool.

Hi there
When you're in Free Transform mode, you're not making any committed changes until you press the "Enter" key on your keyboard or click on the Commit icon (the checkmark) in the options bar. Once your change is committed, you can use the Step Backward or Step Forward functions.
To "step" backwards or forwards while in Free Transform mode, just use the Undo/Redo functions.
Cheers!
