Why cant my ipod nano 4g support video podcasts

help me

The only iPods that support video playback are the 5th gen and 7th gen. Sorry. You need to upgrade for videos.

  • Problem: iPod nano 4th gen & video podcast

    Hi ladies and gents!
    Just bought a brand new ipod 4th gen. mp3 playback works perfectly, but i experience the following problem when trying to watch a video podcast (the file is ok, it works under itunes on my macbook):
    my ipod (nano) plays the first seconds of the podcast, but after some seconds the video gets stuck and the ipod doesn't react anymore. i tried several times to play different video podcast. they all get stuck after a few seconds (randomly something between 5 and 30 seconds)
    Has anybody had the same problem
    and has found a solution?
    Otherwise i'll go back to the shop to change the ipod for another one :S

    After leaving the iPod to charge for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting it?

  • Why cant my ipod touch 4g cant sign in on icloud

    Why cant my ipod touch 4g sign in on icloud something always appear it said the maximum number of accounts on your ipod touch has made. What will i do?pls help me

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Replace the jack yourself

  • Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

  • I cant  see ipod nano on itunes,

    I cant see Ipod Nano (6th gen) on itunes windows vista operating system.

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • Why does my Ipod Nano  sometimes lose volumn

    Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

    If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit.  Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
    Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen videos movies apps?

    hey, i was wondering if the new ipod nano 6th gen touch can get podasts, tv shows, music videos, apps tht DONT REQUIRE WIFI ,movies or anything of the sort... plz let me know ASAP!1 thx guys! <3

    No, the 6th Gen Nano does NOT support video. It does not say that in the description. Find the tech specs here:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    Video podcasts can be loaded, but then you will just get a frame from the video as album art and the audio of the podcast.

  • Why is my ipod nanos screen soo dark?

    it has water damage but we put it in rice and it works likr the sound and all the buttoms excpt the screen wont get brighter i checked blacklight and brigtness still cant find why?

    The water pretty much ruined your LCD screen.  The only 2 things you can do is buy a LCD replacement screen or buy a new iPod nano.

  • IPod Nano's playing videos - THE VERDICT?

    I just got a brand new iPod Nano (blue) for Xmas yesterday!
    And I've already begun personalizing it and searching version tracker for some helpful apps to organise stuff
    (not that iTunes isn't great!)
    But whilst surfing I came across a few websites stating you can get your ipod to play videos.
    http://www.theplaceforitall.com/linuxnano/
    http://ipodlinux.org/Video_Player
    This interests me, but I don't want to muck up my new ipod.
    So just wondered if anyone's tried it or think it looks dodgy.
    I'll check for replies later!
    Thanks!

    The iPod nano does not support video. The processor is not strong enough, along with other things.
    Also, do not try iPod Linux, even though you might hear that its awesome.
    1. Even iPod Linux does not support iPod nano downloads.
    2. Voids any Warranty you have on your iPod.
    3. Not unusual for it to leave your iPod as a large domino, and with no warranty, you're out of luck.
    4. Is it really worth it to watch video on a 1.5 inch screen?
    5. Video takes up a lot of space, and iPod nanos don't have much to spare.
    I hope this helps!

  • TS3474 Why does my iPod Nano turn off after one minute of use?

    I just got a new 16 GB iPod Nano and it turns off after one minute of use.  Why does it do this?

    I figured it out.  Headphones were not plugged all the way in.  This support community is awesome.  Thanks everyone.

  • Can I sync my Nano 6G and an iPod 5G, and keep video podcasts off my Nano?

    Can I use my Macbook to sync both a Nano 6G and an iPod Touch 5G, and specify which podcasts go on which device?  I don't want video podcasts on my Nano.
    Thank you.

    Yes. How you configure podcasts to sync to one device (from under each iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes) will not affect how the configuration settings of the other.

  • Why does my iPod Nano no longer work with JVC TH-BC3 dock?

    I have a JVC TH-BC3 soundbar with a built-in iPod/iPhone dock.  My iPod now displays a "non-compatible" message on the screen when I when docked in the TH-BC3.  What is the problem?

    I sent the question to JVC's support desk and they sent the following reply -
    Thank you for contacting JVC Customer Care. My name is Veronica, your email care specialist. We value you as a JVC customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
    I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your JVC TH-BC3 recognizing your iPod Nano. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. What generation is your iPod Nano? By any chance have you recently updated the iOS? If so, it may just require a soft reset. Simply press and hold the Menu and Home button until the Apple logo appears. This will not erase any information on your iPod/iPhone, simply reboot the software. Please make sure the iPod/iPhone is not connected to the unit while performing the soft reset.
    I performed the soft reset and tried my iPod Nano in the dock and it now works!

  • Why is my ipod nano 7 not recognised in windows 8.1?

    My ipod nano isn't recognized in itumes since I upgraded tot windows 8.1.
    Help!

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
