Wife wants new nano; will "shake" be activated by jogging or jumping?

she likes to trampoline and stuff while listening.

Hello ukeman123.
In short: no. You can disable the iPod nano controls (such as the Click Wheel and the Shake function) by turning the HOLD switch (an orange bar appears) at the upper edge of the iPod nano.
You might want to read the official Manual which is available online as a pdf file [here|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_nano_4th_genUserGuide.pdf] (click the link) and which provides very useful information.

  • Will the new ipod touch have the same fitness, no shoe insert, ability that the new nano will have

    Will the new ipod touch have the same "fitness", no shoe insert needed, ability that the new nano will have?

    Yes, it acualy does, witch I found suprising.

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • New Nano - will it work with firewire or usb 1.1?

    I have a g3 b&w with a 3g ipod (4 buttons and the wheel) hooked to firewire on the g3. This works great.
    I just bought a Nano and was wondering if the Nano could handle the same setup that I have been using successfully this past year-and-a-half with the other ipod or do I need to go out and buy a usb 2.0 card?
    G3 b&w with 3g ipod and a new nano   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I believe it was an Adaptec USB2connect 5100. I figured that if I was going to bother putting a card in, I wanted as many ports as I could reasonably afford. It comes with 6 USB ports, 5 external, 1 internal.
    This was a no muss, no fuss install. Open my Sawtooth, put in the card, closed it up, plugged everyhing in, it worked.
    I'm running 10.4.3, but the card should work just fine under 10.3.9. It uses the standard USB drivers that come with the OS. I didn't even have to install anything. It comes with a CD, but I believe that's for installing in a windows box.

  • Brand new nano, will not sync, still says do not disconnect

    I have a brand new nano that does not seem to want to sync with my itunes. Each time I plug it in it asks me to name the iPod, which I do, then it says updating, do not disconnect. So once itunes is done updating the nano still says do not disconnect. So everytime I have to eject it properly and it never updates with the information from my itunes. It also has a bunch of orange space that it says is being used on the capacity bar and there is no information on the iPod. I have restored it back to factory settings and no luck... I have also taken it in to the Apple Genius Bar and they said it wad fixed and it wasn't so then they gave me a new one and it has the same problem...HELP!

  • My new nano will not stay connected to my computer.

    I recieved a 6 gen nano from the 1 gen replacement program.  I completely removed all apple software from my system, and downloaded the newest versions to replace them before plugging in the new nano.  When I plugged in the new nano, the computer recognized it for a few seconds, saw it was an ipod and started the registration process, but then started disconnecting and connecting the nano every few seconds.  Now itunes does not recognize the nano at all.  I ruled out the usb ports and the cable as the problem, so it has to be the nano with the issues.  Please help, at least my old 1 gen still worked!  Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

    I have the EXACT same problem.  I believe also it is the NANO. 

  • Lost old nano and new nano will not sychronize with my itunes

    I recently bought an new nano ipod after my old one stopped working. I am trying to synchronize the new one and it is not working. What should I try?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

  • Can I set up my wife's new iPhone 5 w/o activating it?

    i would like to set my wife's Christmas present, a new iPhone 5s before we leave for Mexico.  Then on Christmas I want to be able to activate it when I give it to her. I can't exactly activate it now as I would have to turn off her iPhone 4 now and end up blowing the surprise.  So, can i download all her settings and so forth now while NOT activating it?  And then can I activate it from Mexico?  Note: I have the Mexico share everything plan tacked on to my current share everything plan.  Thanks in advance.
    Mit

        Mit,
    Great question.  What an awesome Christmas gift for your wife.  You can download everything on the phone by using her iCloud information on the phone.  You would not be able to activate the phone in Mexico as you will not be on Verizon Wireless coverage.  You can activate either before you after you get home from a wonderful vacation.
    Thank you,

  • New Nano will not be recognized by Itunes

    My Nano is new (Christmas) and Windows XP will connect, but the connection will not show up in Itunes. We have the lastest version of Itunes. It does recognize my dad's Nano. Please reply to [email protected] since I have trouble on these forums.
    Thanks

    It is unlikely that two consecutive iPods have the same problem, so let's assume there is nothing wrong with the iPod for now.  There is no systemic problem with iPod nano 7th gen and iTunes 12.  Even my ancient 3rd gen iPod "classic" from 2003 works fine with iTunes 12 (and the latest OS X).
    Since your other devices connect to iTunes, your OS and iTunes installation seem to be fine.
    Does the iPad or iPhone use the same docking cable (not the newer "Lightning" cable)?  You want to rule out a faulty cable as the cause.  There are separate connection points on the connector for power and data, so it is possible for it to charge from a connection, but not connect for data, due to a faulty cable.
    So (if you can rule out faulty cable), that leaves a problem with the USB port.  It charges, so it seems to supply enough power.  But because it shows only the battery status icon, it's like you are connecting it to a USB power adapter; there is no data connection either to iTunes or the Mac in general. 
    As a test, shut down (power off) the iMac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hubs).  You can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected, if used.  Do this to Reset the iPod
    Reset your iPod - Apple Support
    Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the iPod to a direct USB port, by itself.  Any difference?
    If that does not help, try putting the iPod in Disk Mode
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
    Then, connect it to the Mac and run iTunes.  Any indication in iTunes, on the Mac in general, or on the iPod's screen, that there is a data connection between iPod and computer?

  • New nano will not sync tv shows

    2 days ago i purchased a new 8mg nano and then purchased 5 tv shows from itunes, all of my music syncs fine, but not one of my tv shows will sync, i can view them on the computer, i have all the options checked to sync them but i keep getting unable to sync file not found(50). I just seach this discussion board, remapped my network drive, now my computer doesn't recongnize the nano at all.. it still connects to itunes but I can't see it as an external drive. I spent over an hour at the new apple store and they suggest i great a new unit. so i did.it's doing the same thing. 2 nano's in 2 days.. not able to sync tv shows.

    I am having the same problem - everything is loading and downloading fine but when it comes to syncing tv shows it does not do it after repeated tries
    it even caused my ipod nano 4GB to malfunction and i had to restore it
    I am very dissapointed with this malfunction and I HOPE SOMEONE FROM APPLE CAN REPLY AND HELP ME TROUBLESHOOT THIS PROBLEM
    IF NOT I HAVE A MAJOR COMPLAINT FOR APPLE AND THEIR IPOD NANO!!!!!

  • Want a Nano: will it work on a G3 with USB 1.1?

    I am thinking of buying a Nano, but it's going to be used on a G3 iMac with USB 1.1.
    Does this mean I can't connect it, or does it mean that loading songs will be slow?
    If so, how slow?

    Many people with older computers running 10.2.8 are using an iPod successfully. There are three issues. 1) you must be able to run the newest version of iTunes (which requires 10.2.8), 2) your syncs will be longer, 3) your USB port may not supply enough current to charge the iPod
    Totally refilling a 4gb Nano with USB1 will take just over an hour. That might sound pretty bad but will you really swap out all 4gb at once? I generally swap out 3-4 CDs at a time which will take no more than about 5-10 minutes.
    If you find your USB port doesn't charge the iPod you can purchase a powered hub for about $15-$20 or an iPod charger.

  • HT1451 My 2004 iPod doesn't work with my new Windows 8 computer. If I get a new iPod nano, will I be able to sync my content from my old iPod?

    If I replace my 2005-era iPod with a new nano, will I be able to sync my existing content? Currently my Windows 8 will not allow me to access my music, etc., although I can see it. Took forever to event get iTunes to recognize my device--lots of removing of Apple software, downloading again, etc.

    You can sync from your computer to your ipod.

  • FAQ--How to transfer run data from old Nano to new Nano

    Go to this thread and follow the instructions. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=595567&tstart=0
    To get your old runs from your old Nano into your new Nano (1st or 2nd generation), you do the same as you would to reupload runs from your Nano that have not posted to Nike+ (happens all the time). No doubt there will soon be loads of people needing to transfer their runs to their new 2nd gen Nano.

    If you do follow these instructions and transfer your old runs from your old Nano to your new Nano, please do not expect that your total runs on your new Nano will be the same as on your Nike+ site.
    Also, your new Nano is NOT a clone of your old Nano so it will NOT match exactly to the data on your old Nano if you put your old runs on the new Nano (totals, etc won't match).
    Unless you're a programmer or serious hacker, most users can only edit the XML files on the Nano--"Lastworkout" "preferences" and your run data files in "latest" & "synched." The Unix Executable Files are out of reach for me anyway.
    Maybe someone will figure out how to do more, but I suspect our time would be better spent RUNNING!

  • New Nano & audiobooks

    Does anyone know if the new Nano will play audiobooks the way former ones did? Nothing mention about it on the Apple site. Thanks.

    I'm thinking it will since it appears that it is running the same OS. Wait and be sure once people start getting them before buying one.
    I too like the way it groups each book in one folder just like my iPhone does.

  • New Nano, won't accept purchased songs.

    Just bought my wife a new nano, I installed the iTunes 7 update. Her iPod is recognized, but it won't let me click and drag songs to transfer them into her iPod library. It shows up as recognized but won't let me transfer any songs.
