  • Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

    I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
    1- games
    2- voice memo

    1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
    2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
    3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

  • Why does my 4th generation ipod show an icon of an ipod with "x" eyes and it wont chage or do anything?, why does my 4th generation ipod show an icon of an ipod with "x" eyes and it wont chage or do anything?

    Why does my 4th generation ipod shaw an icon of an ipod with "X ed" eyes and it won't charge or do anything?

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

  • Does the 5th generation ipod nano have bluetooth capabilities?

    Does the 5th generation ipod nano have blue tooth capabilities?
    Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately, the fifth generation iPod nano does not have a built-in Bluetooth chip. The seventh generation iPod nano, introduced in fall 2012, is the only iPod nano as of now that does have Bluetooth built-in.

  • Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod repeat the same song over?  I can't get any playlists or albums to play...

    Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod just play the same song over and over?  I cannot figure out how to get it to shuffle or play through an album or playlist...  It just started doing this randomly and it's very frustrating!

    You have probably Repeat turned on.  See the top of p. 77 of the User Guide.

  • Why does my  Gen 7 ipod nano keep pausing?

    I've owned a Gen 7 iPod nano for a month now as a go-to MP3 player for work (we can't use our phones to listen to music due to cell phone abuse that's happened). Everything seemed fine until about 2-3 weeks ago I found that my music kept spontaneously pausing. Ok so I figured that maybe I hit the button on the side so I used the remote on my earbuds to continue playing. Another slight move and the thing pauses again. I quickly discovered that the slightest movement of the earbud jack triggers this thing to pause the music.
    I then thought it was the headphones and perhaps the remote causing it to glitch. So I went and bought a cheap basic pair of earbuds (Sennheisers) without the remote only to find that the pausing is still going on. I've cleaned out the jack numerous times and it is still doing it. Any idea why this is happening? Seems like this is a known issue as I've seen that others ran into this. Why would Apple continue to let faulty product to be sold? For $140, I would have expected this to last longer, now thinking I should have stuck with a cheapo MP3 player from Walmart as it would have probably lasted longer
    Are there any fixes to this or should I retire this practically new 'pod (and get my hard-earned cash back) and move onto something better? I'm now kind of weary of buying Apple devices if this is the kind of performance I'm going to get from it.

  • Does the third generation iPod Nano have allot of problems with it?

    I was wondering if you think that there is an unusual ammount of defective iPod nanos, or iPod nanos with problems.
    I know that forums are mainly a support page, so I'm only going to see posts about PROBLEMS with the iPod, but i wanted some opinions.
    Should i wait to buy the new iPod nano, or should i go ahead and purchase?
    EDIT: Also, remember when steve annouced that the iPod Video could play songs with no song skip. I think it's called "continuous playback". Can the nano do that?
    And last of all, does the nano back scratch as easily as the 1st gen nanos?
    Thanks in advance,
    ZLH

    I am on my third Nano3 - the store replaced it without hesitation. This one is (knock on wood) working very well. If you are close to an Apple Store, the risk is low. And they ARE cool!
    They indicated that they had not had many returns, so it might have been just a bit of bad luck (after all, it is the 13th iPod in my family, and my 7th...)
    I have not tested the gapless play.
    I do wish, they had stayed with the Aluminum finish on the back. I never used a cover on my Nano 2, and it looks great. This one has the marring typical of polished SS backs. You can polish it out, of course.

  • Does the 7th generation ipod nano have the same storage capacity as the 4th generation ipod nano

    Just bought a ipod nano 7th generation to replace my 16gb 4th generation nano as its battery life is getting shorter
    Went to load my library on to my new ipod and it could not take all the songs, wheras my 4th generarion had room to spare
    so i have had to uncheck a lot of songs to get my new ipod to accept loading
    my guess would be around 300 mb
    Is this difference right when they are both rated as 16gb and showing on itunes at keast the same storage capacity?

    Need to add I have restored the ipod twice with no change to storage capacity
    'others' is showing
    4th gen    119 mb
    7th gen 136 mb

  • Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

    I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
    Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

    If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

  • Why is my 7th Generation Ipod Nano not placing music in the same album?

    But to be more specific.
    Let's say I've bought a music album from iTunes.
    All the music is in the same album.
    But there is this other song I've downloaded and I want to put it on that same album.
    On my ipod, for some reason, they are on separate albums.
    And yes, I've put ALL songs under the same album name.
    (I know this isn't a big deal but I'd like to shuffle the album with all the songs together.)

    Hi TheBigWhiteGun,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Even if the album name in the same, if the artist or "album artist" is different, it still might not show under the same album.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
    There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
    The album names of the songs may differ slightly
    The songs from the same album may have different artists
    Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
    See if that works for you.
    Best Regards,
    Nubz

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPod touch freeze and crash randomly?

    My sister has a used 3rd Gen iPod touch. It looks fine, not much physical damage beyond normal wear. But it will continuly randomly freeze and crash. It will shut off and we have to turn it back on, only to have it crash again. The frequency of this varies and resetting it and restoring it to factory setting make no difference. Is there anything we could do to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How much music does a 7th generation ipod nano hold?

    I know you can't know for sure but if you have nothing other then music how much should it be able to store?

    You still can't tell for sure; the number of songs it will hold depends on the iPod's capacity as well as the length and bitrate of each song.
