Will there be a download for existing ipod nano 6th gen owners?

I just wanted to know if existing ipod nano 6th gen owners will be able to download an update for the new features?

There seems to be some confusion about old vs new 6th gen nanos and this update.
What was announced was ONLY a software update. For those of you that bought your Nano 6th Gen last year, you will get ALL the features noted in the release yesterday.
The most common confusion seems to relate to the fitness app and using the step count dongle with Nike+. There is NO NEW HARDWARE in the Nano to allow the device to work without the dongle. The folks at Apple have worked their software Mojo to allow the accelerometer to do the job of the dongle that used to get stuck in your shoe.
Hope that helps,

Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen

Is there gonna be any software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen for video playback??

Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

My ipod nano 6th gen can't be identified by any computer, but it can still be charged in a wall socket. what's the problem in here? :'(

There's this time that my ipod nano 6th gen stopped from being recognized on any computer, i tried all trouble shooting stuff but none of them worked, can you give me any solutions? i'm pretty desperate.

Are you using a Macintosh or Windows?

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

How much will apple charge me for fixing a cracked ipod nano 6th gen screen??

Well I don't have any warranty and i want to get my ipod nano fixed! So how much will apple charge me to fix a cracked ipod nano 6th gen screen????

They won't actually "fix" the iPod, but instead will replace it with an exact refurbished replica. See this page for pricing.

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
CD-i200 iPod cable for above
Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Apple are you listening??

My ipod nano 6th gen will only turn on when plugged into a power source.

My ipod nano 6th gen ONLY turns on when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as I unplug it, it turns off. I also tried to reset it and it did not help. Any suggestions?

Howdy mela1223,
If I understand correctly your iPod will not stay on unless you have the charger plugged in even after resetting it. Normally this would indicate a hardware issue that would need a repair but to cover all the bases before that, the last troubleshooting that can be done for it would be to restore it with iTunes on a computer.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My ipod nano 6th gen will not sync.

My ipod nano 6th gen will not sync. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes; I have reset the nano; I have used a different USB port and connector; I have rebooted my computer. Any suggestions?

I just did the same. Spent at least two hours trying different actions. Then uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. Also used a different USB port, etc. Also rebooted computer. No option for syncing is showing up on Itunes and when I run diagnostics it says there is no device detected- yet it is plugged into a USB port and the screen on the Nano says connected. HELP

Ipod nano 6th gen askinh for resore every time i connect and after the restore not showing the sysnced song on ipod

i have a ipod nano 6th gen, few days back when i tried to add few songs through iTunes it gave me error that it "can't connect to ipod . restore it" so i did and after that i synced al the songs and it showed that my my empty ipod has been up few GB's. after i disconnected , i could not see any song on the ipod . when it connected back the ipod the got same error about restore. i dont know what to do now , please help.

Hello Singhindia,
It sounds like you restored your iPod Nano when iTunes prompted you and it appears to sync. When you disconnect it and look at the content, the songs arent there, and when you plug it back into iTunes you get the same message again. I would recommend these troubleshooting sections from the following article to help isolate the issue to hardware or software:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218
Verify that iTunes is installed and updated
Restart the computer
Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
Verify the device's USB connection
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
Remove and reinstall iTunes
If the issue continues, gathering iPod Diagnostics may be helpful for you or for support personnel in identifying the issue.
Additional Information
Certain phone connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, and Sony may also cause this issue. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall your Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, or Sony phone connectivity software and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista and Windows 7).
After reinstalling iTunes, test the iPod nano.
If you still need your phone connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your iPod nano to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
While the error message is different than you are seeing, the troubleshooting is relevant for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

HT1364 how can i download from my itunes list to my ipod nano 6th gen ?

hi can anyone out there help me i purcheased a song from itunes it down loaded to my itunes list on laptop but i cant download that song onto my ipod nano 6th gen even thoe it reconises my ipod as before i use to just plug my ipod into the laptop and select down load and it would atomaticly down load song onto my ipod now it wont do that have anyone got any idea why please ?

It works the same way it has always worked.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
There is no "download" option when an iDevice is connected as content does not get downloaded to devices. Content gets downloaded from iTunes to the computer.
Try using the correct terminology and possibly reading the User's Guide... that may allow you to figure this out on your own or ask an intelligent question to get a resolution.

Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen.q

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen That was broken (in 2 places) during disassembly.
The lcd screen and digitizer were both replaced but the top 1/3 inch of the screen doesn't respond to any touch.

They have 2 parts for sale for the nano 7th gen. Ac adapter and charging cable. I need to find one of those Chinese parts sites, they seem to have items that you cannot find in the states yet.

Will there be a download for existing ipod nano 6th gen owners?
