iPod Nano 5 G vs 7G

I am looking to buy an iPod Nano. I heard that the click wheel on the 5G breaks, I don't want to deal with fingerprints. Which device is more user-friendly and accessible, because for me, the G-7 resembles a small iPod Touch without internet.

I used a nano gen 5 years and use it exclusively for my race (with the Nike + Bluetooth receiver to iPod and motion sensor on the shoe).  I use a case and hold it in my hand when running.  I took a few falls and dropped my nano several times.  So it has a few scratches.  Always works 100%.  According to my experience, it is solid.  I don't know that there are some owners with broken wheel.  When tens of millions of what whatsoever are sold, ALL possible types of problem will be produced for the global customer base.  This does not mean that any particular problem is likely to occur to any individual customer.  Since you don't touch the screen to use a 5th gen nano, there is no problem with the fingerprints.  A user of long date iPod, I like the interface of the wheel.

The 5th gen nano becomes an iPod 'old' at this stage.  Old things tend to start to break down.  If the iPod has been heavily used, its battery is likely to be carried out (or how to get there).  If the iPod wasn't used a lot and sat in a drawer, which can be even worse for a lithium battery.  The nano gen 5 has a battery that is soldered to the logic board, is not easy to replace, without good soldering skills and enjoy disassembling miniature electronics.

A unique feature of 5th generation iPod nano: it has a video camera (to take videos not photos), as well as a built-in microphone and tiny speaker.

The 7th gen nano is the current model.  It is brand new with a warranty of one year.  Users who have never used an iPod scroll wheel can be more usable.  It has a touch interface; you deal with fingerprints.  It uses the connector of the lightning, which is the current standard for Apple peripheral of mooring.  No accessory Nike + necessary to track running.

    So I've recently updated the software on my ipod nano (7th generation).  I wish I hadn't.  Everything I had before worked fine, but I thought it would be easier to reformat, updated software, and consequently to the fitness, loading podcasts less (and more recent).  Unfortunately, it takes now several taps to make appear the podcasts, music, etc (and now, a box appears around each option before you can select, for no apparent reason) and most important, I can do is no longer the progress bar for each stroke of the podcast, if I want to skip the part from left to right, or all of the podcast.   Very annoying.  If someone else encountered these problems and someone at - it a 'fix '?

  • iPod nano 5 with MacOS Sierra

    I use the latest version of MacOS Sierra (10.12) in my MBPmid14. However, I found that the iPod Nano 5 I have is not recognized by the computer. It loads, but it does not sync. One of you have the same problem?

    I have not used this iPod in some time, including synchronization and load. I have an XtremeMac charging cable.

    Is what the iPod is too old and too recent software, cable has problems (it has synchronized before) or something in the settings prevents the synchronization?

    I use a 5th generation iPod nano, and it works fine with the latest version of the OS and iTunes.

    When you connect it, look at the screen of the iPod.  He said initially 'Connected' (to indicate a data connection)?  Or does only show the symbol of battery?

  • My iPod nano 2nd generation gets disk errors after installing iTunes?

    I use my iPod nano 2nd generation for... Wow little almost 10 years now and of course is not as sensitive, a little laggy sometimes, battery life isn't as good but still never had real problems with it that can be repaired by a reset. Well not until now and I have not really money to spend to get a new, in particular the fact that practically it still works fine on his own, just that I can not add or remove pieces of her more.

    The problem

    It seems that the computer has trouble reading the device. Whenever I plug my iPod nano 2nd generation USB in my laptop (Windows 10), which has some sort of interaction with it freezes. For the moment I plug in, programs such as Winamp, iTunes, File Explorer (if I click my computer-> try to right click on the drive, that says all F: drive instead of the usual name recognized as "My iPod."), the Device Manager when I try to turn Apple iPod USB Driver and the small icon in the system tray when you try to eject the drop-down list no longer appears, all these programs themselves just freeze and unresponsive until I unplug the device. In Event Viewer, the moment where I plug it, it gets spammed by looping errors to:

    Error: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR21, has a bad block.

    ATTENTION: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR21 during a paging operation.

    So, basically, it seems that the computer is blocked just not try to read and recognize the device, which means that I can't really do anything with it. The iPod itself seems to work fine, I can hear songs, recharge the battery and other things, earlier I can't add or remove pieces of her.

    Stuff leading up to it

    A year or two before, I used to manage the ipod via itunes (a relatively old version of time too I guess since I almost never update) until I formatted my laptop some time ago and never bored computer reinstall itunes. Since then, I really didn't need to change anything to my iPod and just use Winamp (my default music player) to the add/remove songs when I needed to. Today, I decided to install iTunes because there are some things that winamp cannot do as add embedded lyrics and also winamp blurs the sorted list of the song. Since then, after you have installed the new iTunes, start freezing and program I get the problems described above. There might be a chance that iTunes was not the real culprit and the disc was already beginning to get corrupted or something somehow, but I can't think of anything that's happened before this problem started.

    I tried many things

    • Uninstalled iTunes and all the other stuff related to the installation as pie, Apple Mobile Device Support... .etc
    • Reinstall the device driver USB Apple iPod. When I turn it off (Plug in iPod-> iPod poster 'do not disconnect'-->--> Device Manager driver right click-> disable-> Device Manager freezes up-> unplug ipod-> Device Manager-> thaws plug ipod in) ipod becomes simply the State of charge. Steps to reinstall is the same (need to plug and unplug).
    • Reset iPod in now the Center button + menu button.
    • Will then resetting operation rewind + Centre button iPod diagnostic mode. It is not a test disc hard because I guess nano doesn't have a disc hard just flash ram. Anyway, when I select SDRAM QScan he only says: "SDRAM OK." NAND_SPEC gives "NandLBA = 1982464". Flash gives Checksum "Checksum is 0x26AF".
    • Wanted to try as described here to check for disk errors, but cannot because the computer cannot correctly recognize and explore freezes if I right click. I tried using 'chkdsk f:' in the command prompt, but that seems to hang as well.
    • Switches mode disc reset ipod then now Center + play button. Then connect the laptop... etc, same problem.

    It's a pretty old device, so it seems that support because it is very rare. I didn't install iTunes could screw up the device that it is intended to support and do anything as permanent as this one.

    You must exclude a faulty USB, cable anchorage, try another, or using your power with another Apple device cable, to confirm that it works correctly.

    Otherwise, your troubleshooting seems complete.  If that's what you've done for disc Mode

    How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

    and connection to your computer causes this issue General 'freeze' with multiple processes, the iPod has possibly a hardware problem.  Flash storage eventually.  Or it can be a problem on the logic board of the iPod.

    I suggest try to reformat the iPod using Windows, as if it were a USB flash drive.  But you can only do if the system hangs when you connect iPod.

    NOTE: If you find a way to reformat iPod using Windows, use FAT32 as the disc format.  If there is an option to do a quick format, do a full format instead.  Once the process is complete, the iPod is totally blank.  You do restore using iTunes (if you are prompted or not), to the embedded iPod software.

  • iPod nano not recognized

    Hi people,

    Here's my problem. I have two iPod nanos. One is a 8 GB, 4 years old, one is a 16 GB, age of two weeks. I was their sync to my new laptop aged from 1 month (running windows 10). Now, when I Plug one of them in, itunes says it can detect an ipod, but cannot therefore no synchronization ID. I do not see it is the iPod because it just started to happen with both at the same time. Any ideas? I already followed the advice found here If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support and which did not help either. I have the computer to run a pilot if at least ipods load, but that's all I got to this point.

    Thank you!

    iPods will charge from any USB port powered, even if iTunes is not installed on the computer.  They charge also of a power adapter USB (like the type that comes with the iPhone or any other device), no computer at all.

    This Apple support document (the one you linked to) is quite comprehensive.  If you already went through these basic troubleshooting steps and technical, the other thing to try is to completely remove iTunes (and related software components) and reinstall the latest version.  Curiously, the Apple has a document for this procedure, but recently deleted 'Windows 10' from its description.  But you can find this document here

    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 - Apple Support

    and also do an Internet search for stories of (non-Apple) on this subject.  The key point is to remove all the components of iTunes (not just "iTunes") and do it in the exact order shown.  After removing the existing installation of iTunes, download and install the latest version from here

  • iPod Nano 6th generation of devices

    I have an iPod Nano 6th generation. I would like to continue to use it to play music during the night while I SLEEP. I got an iHome unit, but who has just died. I have two conditions for a new device. The device must plug into a wall outlet and charge the iPod Nano.

    Can someone suggest a new device?

    There are two separate functions here.  Charging the iPod and speakers are active.  The iPod has two connectors for audio output and power, so do not force yourself to a single device.

    Use a common USB adapter, (that plugs into the wall), as the type that comes with the iPhone or other device and standard USB cable to charge the battery of the iPod.  Connect common self-powered speakers, as the type that people use computers, making headphone iPod.  That is how I use my iPod touch on the bedside table.

  • iPod Nano is not synchronize or send workouts on the portal of Nike

    I have an iPod Nano and up to a week or two ago when Nike changed their entire portal (which I am already Livid about because 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it") workout of my iPod Nano is no longer synchronize or send the portal of Nike + at all.

    I received continuous error messages and they have yet to fix.  However, they have not run before release products even if existing ones is glitching out.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    The web site Nike + was revised a few months ago.  I like the old better version also...

    Since the revision, when I sync my iPod nano and it has new workout data, I get an error message.  I my case, clicking the button OK in the error message allows the synchronization to continue, and iTunes sends my new workout data to Nike + (despite what the error of not being able to connect to Nike +).  I get the usual message of confirmation.

    In your case, Nike + receive your new workout data?

  • Problem syncing with iPod Nano

    I have an iPod nano 3rd generation. He stopped properly syncing with iTunes. I have the latest version of ITunes and Windows 10. It is always synchronized automatically before. The computer recognizes the iPod and it's synchronization on iPod, but not on the computer screen. None of the songs I bought on iTunes since it began have been added to my iPod. I also noticed that new Playlists, I added to iTunes also syncs.  Maybe it's the same cause.  I appreciate your help. I'm nervous about what he is going to erase my iPod and then Resync.  I don't want to end up with nothing on my iPod!  I spent hours trying to understand, without a bit of luck. Thanks a lot for your help!

    One thing to check is the parameter to sync music on settings of music from the iPod screen.  Here is a screenshot showing the screen.

    Perhaps the box sync music got disabled for some reason any.  If it is not checked, the iPod is currently set to manually manage the music.  It will always 'sync' when it is connected, but the content does not sync automatically. However, existing content on the iPod.

    NOTE: If you change this setting (and apply) Sync music is currently not checked, all the songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.
