Supported Audio File Formats

The following audio file formats are supported by iPod nano. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting:

 AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 Kbps)

 Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)

 MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)

 MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

 WAV

 AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)

 AIFF

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up only about half the amount of space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by default.

Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3 format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format. iPod nano does not support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com format 1.

If you have a song in iTunes that isn’t supported by iPod nano, you can convert it to a format iPod nano supports. For more information, see iTunes and Music Store Help.

Chapter 5 Tips and Troubleshooting

In addition, on the Macintosh, iPhoto 4.0.3 or later is recommended for downloading photos and albums to iPod nano. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be installed on your Mac. Check the Applications folder. If you have iPhoto 4 you can update it by choosing Apple () > Software Update.

On a Windows PC, iPod nano can import photo collections automatically from Adobe

Photoshop Album 1.0 or later, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later, available at www.adobe.com. This software is optional.

On both Macintosh and Windows PC, iPod nano can import digital photos from folders on your computer’s hard disk.

If you want to use your iPod nano with a Mac and a Windows PC

If you are using your iPod nano with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC

(or vice versa), you must restore the iPod software for use with the other computer

using iPod Updater (see “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” below). Restoring the

iPod software erases all data from iPod nano, including all songs.

You cannot switch from using iPod nano with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC (or vice versa) without erasing all data on iPod nano.

If you lock your iPod nano screen and can’t unlock it

Normally, if you can connect your iPod nano to the computer it is authorized to work with, your iPod nano automatically unlocks. If the computer authorized to work with your iPod nano is unavailable, you can connect iPod nano to another computer and use iPod Updater to restore your iPod software. See the next section for more information.

Updating and Restoring iPod Software

You can use iPod Updater to update or restore your iPod software. Apple periodically updates iPod software to improve performance or add features. It is recommended that you update your iPod nano to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod nano back in its original state.

 If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not affected.

 If you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod nano, including songs, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod nano settings are restored to their original state.

Chapter 5 Tips and Troubleshooting 47

To update or restore iPod nano with the latest software:

1 Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update has the latest software for all models of iPod.

2 Double-click the software installation file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the iPod update.

3 Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application opens.

If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.

4 Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod software.

If you use the iPod Updater application and it doesn’t recognize that iPod nano is

connected to your computer, reset iPod nano (see page 43).

If you want to restore iPod software and you don’t have an Internet connection, you can use the iPod Updater application that was installed on your computer when you installed the software from the iPod CD.

To restore iPod software using the iPod Updater application that came on your iPod CD:

 If you have a Mac, you can find the iPod Updater application in Applications/Utilities/ iPod Software Updater.

 If you have a Windows PC, you can find the iPod Updater application by choosing

Start > All Programs > iPod.

Note: The date of the updater is in the filename, so, if you have more than one version, make sure to use the latest one.

Safety and Cleaning

Learn about cleaning your iPod nano and handling it safely.

Setup Safety Instructions

When setting up and using your iPod nano, remember the following:

 Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others.

 Follow all instructions and warnings about your iPod nano.

Warning: Electrical equipment can be hazardous if misused. Operation of this product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to handle any cables.

General Safety, Cleaning, and Handling Guidelines

To Do This

Handle your iPod nano safely Be careful not to drop your iPod nano.

Use headphones safely

Warning: Your iPod nano contains sensitive components including a rechargeable battery. Prevent damage by making sure you do not drop, bend, or crush your iPod nano.

Use of headphones while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving.

Stop listening to your iPod nano if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.

To

Avoid hearing damage

Use connectors and ports properly

Reduce the chance of shock or injury

Clean the outside of your iPod nano

Repair your iPod nano

Use your iPod nano in acceptable temperatures

Store your iPod nano safely

Do This

Set your iPod nano volume to a safe level. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your iPod nano.

Warning: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.

 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

 Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.

Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Keep your iPod nano away from sources of liquids, such as drinks or washbasins. Protect your iPod nano from rain or other moisture.

Take care not to spill any food or liquid on iPod nano. In case of a spill, unplug iPod nano before cleaning up. You might need to send your equipment to Apple for service.

Warning: Do not use your iPod nano in or near water or wet locations.

Make sure your iPod nano is unplugged. Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives.

For service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 51.

Warning: Do not make repairs yourself. Do not attempt to open your iPod nano, disassemble it, or remove the battery. You run the risk of electric shock and voiding the limited warranty. No userserviceable parts are inside.

Operate your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod nano play time might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.

Note: When you’re using your iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. The bottom of the iPod nano case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Store your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always between –20º and 45º C (–4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod nano in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.
