i have been using one of these for a little over 4 years now, i love it!! it's probably the best ipod i've used except for how small rhe storage is lolll
Thanks for sharing! I have been using it for 2 years now, and the battery is what concerns me the most. Soon it will just die off. Storage wise, I have to agree with you, but it's a lot compared to the iPod shuffle with just 2GB lol.
When the rumours came of an apple watch, this is what I thought of. I remembered holding this in my hand back in the apple store and it was the coolest thing compared to Sony’s walkman mp3 player at the time.
I used this ipod for AGES when i was in college. I used the radio feature to listen to the TVs at my old gym at the time. I loved being able to just shake the ipod to shuffle it any time. Loved this thing. It's stuck in bootloop now and im sure the battery is toast
I repair and mod ipods, So ive got all the proper models from 3-6 gen to mod. I recently brought a 6th and 7th gen nano, well 4 x 6 gens 16gb model. I love them at night, its perfect to listen to music and go to sleep or taking it out and about. They were so cheap, got one with a cracked screen for 15 pounds, brought a new screen and boom, the only non soldering thing you can do on it and it worked a treat. Now ive cleaned up the other 2 and the last one was mint so i dont want to use it ,like the 7th gen nano as they are both still boxed. Great lil device as only 3 times as thick as my headphone lead end. amazing
This may be a dumb question but is there any way to add bluetooth without having a whole adapter plugged in? (I know that would likely be very complex or impossible) I swear if there were a way to mod the 6th gen Nano to have BT, I wouldn't even hesitate to grab one.
At the time of its release bluetooth capabilities were available, but Bluetooth headphones didn't exist. It would still be a useful device these days if it only had BT and mic, and of course, flexibility to get alternative firmwares. Wifi (and DAC) are maybe too much for this little guy, but I still dream of a reissue of this devices from nowdays apple crew. Anyway, it is lovely. I got this one and a 4th gen nano, and I prefer the oldschool round scroll for music, but is a great companion for music without distractions, also works amazing for minimal setups like aux stereo connections with a plug-plug. Maybe it wasn't ahead of its time, and it got nearly obsolete with the massive development of smart phones.. but still does its job (and still looks modern) 12 yrs later, and this means a good engineering and design work.
Well said! We got too much distractions in modern days, that’s why there’s a trend where people started to go back to using retro tech like this one. It can only be a dream as Apple won't reissue the iPod lineup. I'm too used to Spotify but from time to time I still look back at this little iPod nano.
The other day I had occasion to listen to something through a pretty nice, modern bluetooth headphones, and then immediately listen to the same thing on my Sennheiser HD650s with a proper amplifier. The difference is so massive, I cant imagine anyone preferring the wireless cans if given the oppertunity to compare directly and immeditely to nice wired cans with a nice D/A stage and amp. Its so much more detailed, highs freqs and silky smooth, unfatiguing and everything just sonuds right, the bluetooth still suffers from an additional phase of data compression, and of course the amps, while decent, must be designed to work as efficiently as possible to conserve battery life. This results in characteristics that are subtle, but noticable, especially over time, where the audio feels 'pinched' almost, restricted and processed, if I got to deal with a wire, for me, its worth it
That's true! Usually BT is transferred in SBC or AAC codec, which is limited to a low bitrate, losing a lot of the sound richness (maximum 192 kbps). But if a device is oriented to a hi-fi target it can be designed to work with better Bluetooth codecs like aptX, aptX add, LDAC, that are similar to listening to high bitrate mp3 or flac. Also, you have to consider that music platforms don't have high bitrates, or "hi-fi" premium plans; only Apple Music has implemented something like that. But also a "wired" device does not ensure high quality spectrum representation, that's the idea of the "DAC", that work like a little amplifier for premium headphones. Look at the "FIIO M5" or the "Shangling M0 Pro"@@scottfindley1345
Thank you for the more detailed explanation of lossy BT technology, and why it sucks :) In my perfect listening experience, Im listening to completely un-lossy music, FLAC, AIFF or WAV (mostly AIFF as the majority of my music is electronic stuff and this is the native lossless format of bandcamp - exactly the same as any other lossless format but with the sseemingly industry standard ID3 metatagging built in.. @ 48k 24bit, and of course you are right, the term 'DAC' is misused a lot, to describe a kindf of combo digital audio converter AND headphone amp, which are two separate and distinct processes. A 'DAC' in purely technical terms is not necessarly also an amplification stage, nor is a 'headphone amp' necessarily involve a DAC, though they are often lumped together. a DAC it is solely responsible for converting a digital audio signal to an analog one and spitting out an unamplified line-out audio signal.Dont overlook the importance of a good dac though, while, the difference is in the margin - things like clocking jitter can have a massive difference in the overall coherence, detail, and 'listenability' over a long period (bad clocking often leads to a sort of listener fatigue, micro-changes in the rate at which samples are taken can mar audio in very subtle ways..

My sister had it and I used to be in love with it, recently I have been doing some running and I want to listen to music but it gets really uncomfortable to go with my cellphone on me, thanks to that I remembered this beautiful little nugget I saw a good deal on the net and I think im gonna get it
I still have one of these, but haven't updated the music since about 2015. Where I still use it is in the car, when I don't want to sync my phone or listen to radio.
I absolutely loved this thing. So much that i've been considering getting another in 2024. Not sure how much use it would have, but I would love to just have one sitting around again. My favorite Nano, easily.
If there were a way to get bluetooth to work without a huge adapter, I would be 100% sold. That's the ONLY thing keeping me back. I would just get an Apple Watch but I'm an android user so 🤷 Hopefully I can find an android based watch that has as much charm as this Nano did.
I bought one of these things years ago when they were already obsolete as a way to listen to podcasts at work while I was a photographer at a dealership, really small and easy to have it clipped on to me or in my pocket and run headphones through my shirt to my ears. I still have a massive music library I could add to this but would be cool to have spotify and bluetooth I know people have modded some of the other ipod models but I think this one is probably too small to add much to it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with your iPod nano 6th gen with us! Love your story! True that the screen is just too small to mod it. 7th gen iPod nano probably has a higher chance of doing that.
I love this version of the nano 🙂 it's a pure music player and you can stick it anywhere on you with the clip. definitely worth it imo if you have a big iTunes library like I do. just started using mine again and I really like the simplicity of it 🙂
While the 6G nano was good, I’d recommend caution in buying it. This model had a defect with the power button. It would get stuck and the only way to use it would be connect it to power. I ended up getting the 7G and getting rid the 6G. There are videos on UA-cam that describe the issue.
Thinking about getting one myself, be it with a bad battery which I have no issue replacing myself since I’m good at soldering or get a good one. 8gb is no issue, I have multiple playlists with music I’ll listen to daily. Idk I love my 7th gen Nano and Classic 5th gen a lot, might get one of these to add to my rotation of daily use. I thought about slipping my headphone cord through my long sleeve, directly to this while using it as a Watch. Damn this idea excites me, yeah think I’ll get one lol.
Happy to hear that! Soldering is a cool skill! I did that when I was in high school but I don’t have the equipment to do that now. Ya get it as that will be a cool addition to your retro Apple collection.
Yes!!!! I used that feature daily when I was going to the gym back in college. Their TVs transmitted audio over FM, so people could watch the TVs and listen to the audio in their headphones. It was amazing. Loved that little nano
Great vid! Still have my Nano 6th from when they first came out. Any advice on how to get it to play through a 2024 Ford? No aux input on the car and SYNC won't recognize the nano when plugged into the car's USB port(s). Thx
I have this way back in 2012 a product red then 2017 i sold it but it is really a good condition without any dents and scratches. When i was here i the America i buy another one from the amazon,it is brand new sealed (product red 16GB) but upon unboxing the item to try, i was so dissappointed since the product could turn ON! But when i pluggged the the cable,it works perfectly! So i guess the problem is the battery. But i dont want to send it for a repair since when they open the ipod for sure it will cause a damage or scratches around it,so what i might keep it a souvenir instead.. i got it in ebay by $160 something plus tax and delivery almost $200
That’s expensive tbh, sealed iPod nano is common to have battery problems since it’s a 13 years old device. I got mine for RM250 (54 USD) second-hand (comes with seller’s Watch strap too), got scratches but the battery still can hold charges.
@@JackyYBT nice!! Actually there is a technician in ebay that can fixed it but i need to pay $45 plus i need to pay for the shipping fee back and fort. But im so skeptical,what if he wont send back my unit,then it would cause another problem to me. So nuhhh!! I will just kept it as a souvernir!!
hey! your video inspired me to get one just today; i love it! got 8gb version, still trying to figure out some features here and there, and that leads to the question: can i sync it to my iTunes library without bricking it? my iPod touch one died after i tried to sync all my music to it, just stuck on the iTunes logo to this day, so I’m really afraid that can happen again. thanks
First of all, thanks for watching! I sync my iPod nano to iTunes all the time, never face issues like you faced before. So, you can go ahead and sync it.
@@JackyYBT thanks a lot! i got all kanye albums on it like 2 hours ago, this ipod is the best one I’ve ever used! do you know where can i download free mo3 with album covers? it’s lowkey important to me to have covers
It’s always fun to look back at the things we used to own. I hope your iPod Nano is living its best life somewhere out there! 😂 Very close to 50K subscribers ah, you’re doing great in the game!
If Apple released a new nano with Bluetooth and Spotify ability. I think they would make a killing. Intentionally not having all apps. People working out want music, and not the temptation of using phone.
I’ve been using iPod nano 6th gen since it was first introduced in 2010. After the latest Mac OS Sonoma update it got wiped and will no longer sync with Apple Music, hangs up when trying to perform a factory restore and if it tries to sync gives an insufficient memory error when it has more than enough free memory. What was once a nifty little device has become unusable.
True. That’s why I said it was the least iPod nano design ever. IMO iPod nano screen is not that big anyway. I’m okay with no video playback and camera to trade it with the clip design. It’s too convenient when you are working out/jogging etc.
Actually there is but you have to get a Bluetooth adapter for the iPod nano 6th gen. Or if you don’t want the hassle, you can go for the 7th gen iPod nano.
Hey ! Great video ! Do you know how can i connect mine to an iPad Pro ? (I know the cable, but I’m talking about how to transfert music to it). I can’t find it on my iPad.
pretty sure not possible, apple wants you to manage your music with a mac and listen on your nano.. This ethos has changed a little over time, but the nano is stuck with whatever apple wanted at that time. im frankly quite shocked they still work with modern macs, since apple has such a proclivity for dropping support of 'legasy' products, but thankfully, still goin.. I just bought 2 refurb nanos with brand new batteries, etc (Im a crazy person) so I can continue to use them fir the rest of my natural life. :) music is my life, what can I tell ya
Bought this 2 days ago after wanting it for 10 years, a timeless relic the albums and playlist in it is so amazing something that all these bs smartwatches lack and most of them need phone to use music(complete joke)
nevermind after looking hard on ebay i found some used ones in good shape for only 60$. it even came with a charger with a brick and headphones. and im from usa az
Is there a way to listen to this with bluetooth? Ik you can use bluetooth transmitters but they’re kinda expensive. Maybe there isn’t lol but I was just wondering.
@@JackyYBT eh thats alright then, the main reason I wanted an iPod was because I wanted to listen to music while in school, but they banned phones and wireless headphones.
Thank you for being patient. If you're having trouble transferring music from your iPod Nano 6th gen to your laptop, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially solve the problem: 1. Use iTunes: Connect your iPod Nano to your laptop using a USB cable and open iTunes (if you don't have iTunes installed, download and install it first). Once connected, your iPod should appear in the iTunes sidebar or under "Devices." You should be able to access the music on your iPod through iTunes and transfer it to your laptop's iTunes library. 2. Enable Disk Use: On your iPod Nano, go to Settings > USB Mode and select "Disk Use." This will allow your iPod to appear as an external storage device on your laptop, and you may be able to manually transfer music files from the iPod to your laptop's hard drive. 3. Third-Party Software: There are third-party software programs available that can help you transfer music from your iPod to your computer. Example: iMyFone TunesMate (Windows): imyfone.pxf.io/c/3778375/947344/12696 (Mac): imyfone.pxf.io/c/3778375/947345/12696 Download and install this program on your laptop, connect your iPod Nano, and follow the instructions to transfer your music. 4. Check Compatibility: Ensure that your iPod Nano is compatible with your laptop's operating system. Sometimes, older iPod models may not be fully compatible with newer versions of operating systems, which can cause issues with transferring files. 5. Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Try restarting both your iPod Nano and your laptop, then attempt the transfer again. 6. Check for Updates: Make sure that both iTunes and your laptop's operating system are up to date. Updates may include bug fixes and improvements that could help resolve any compatibility issues. 7. Contact Support: If you've tried the above steps and are still unable to transfer your music, consider contacting Apple Support or seeking assistance from a tech-savvy friend or professional for further help. By following these steps, you should be able to transfer the music from your iPod Nano to your laptop successfully. If you encounter any specific error messages or issues along the way, be sure to note them down as they may provide clues to the underlying problem.
Yes, you can download audiobooks for the iPod nano 6th generation. You'll need to use iTunes on your computer to sync the audiobooks to your iPod nano. Just make sure the audiobooks are in a compatible format (such as AAC or MP3) and follow the instructions for syncing in iTunes.
So I bought one with music on it, and a classic 80GB with music. Was on a Mac before. Can I download the music to my PC? I had old software on my old Vista PC, but I don't know where it is.
You don't need to reformat your iPod Classic to add music from a Mac-formatted iPod to a Windows PC. Here's what you can do: 1. Connect your iPod Classic to your Windows PC using a USB cable. 2. On your Windows PC, open iTunes if you have it installed. If not, you can download and install iTunes from the Apple website. 3. After connecting your iPod Classic, it should appear in the iTunes sidebar or as a device icon in the top-left corner of the iTunes window. 4. If prompted, choose to "Trust" the computer on your iPod Classic's screen. 5. In iTunes, click on your iPod Classic to access its settings and summary page. 6. Under the "Options" section, make sure the option "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. 7. Now you can go to your Windows PC's File Explorer and open your iPod Classic as a removable storage device. You should be able to see its content, including the "Music" folder. 8. Locate the music files you want to add to your iPod Classic on your Windows PC. You can copy and paste or drag and drop the music files directly into the "Music" folder on your iPod Classic. 9. Safely eject your iPod Classic from your Windows PC. 10. Disconnect your iPod Classic from the USB cable. 11. On your iPod Classic, navigate to the "Music" section to access and play the newly added music. By following these steps, you can add music from your Windows PC to your Mac-formatted iPod Classic without the need for reformatting.
theres also a handy little util that some nice folks made called "senuti" that allows you to copy the contents of an ipod that is not syced to your machine - copy the stuff off first, add to your library, then sync to the ipod once your sure you got everything off there
Ya, especially streaming music services prices keep increasing. It may not be as convenient for adding your music compare to streaming music but you save a lot of money in the long run.
@@chill.bel.3arabi I don't know about your country price market. As for Malaysia, used good condition is range from RM200 - 250. I don't know about new condition as I yet seen that in Malaysia market.
@@JackyYBT no sir i was in the academy i bought it in 2010 i had the strap too blue one and i was searching for another straps different colors and materials
The 6th gen ipod nano is the still, the worlds best portable music player for serious audiophles and people that care more about music than convenience. Why? Ill tell ya. Phones, suck. Nobody wants to run with a goddamn heavy, enormous glowing square on their arm. I dont stream, I dont want to stream, the shit I like isnt on streaming platforms,. wireless audio, SUCKS. Wireless audio will always suck. I dont have to charge my headphones, i just plug them in, and they go forever. and they sound amazing, lossless. fully unstressed amplification. and theye light. so they dont fall out my ears when I run. dont like the cable? simple, run it down the neck of your shirt, clip to your shorts or whatever. Battery lasts FOREVER. can shuttle through long files, the only thing I listen to (DJ Mixes) Ive had every modern solution. Apply watch ultra, every wireless headphone imagable. ALL GARBAGE the stupid watch wont sync EVER, bluetooth, more like POOTOOTH!! totally spotty and unreliable. Its a miracle every time the stars would align and all three things would work and be charged when it comes time to run. Dont habve time for that shit, when I need it, I need it to WORK. nothing compares to the 6th gen and a nice pair of headphones. Can not belive nobody makes a modern solution for people serious about their music.
Actually Sony is still making Walkman nowadays. The only well known that I know that still care about music. Sounds awesome but it’s bulky compared to iPod nano 6th gen. Also pricey too.
True dat, theres a couple of high end mfgrs now, BUT nothing comes close to the size and functioinality (its got a clip!!) of the nano..Also if you like DJ mixes as I do, for whatever reason ipod os is the only one that gets that people might want to listen to sometinng thats more than 5 minsn long and the only ones that get fast forwarding / shuttling to a precise area of a long file. With the others if you fat finger the FF button youre back to square 1 and gotta hold it down for like 2 mins to get back to where you want. frustrating!! Could there really be this few people that care about this kind of thing?I guess so :/ lol. Cheers! @@JackyYBT
If you are planning to resell it now or in the future, it's better to keep it new as it will have a higher value. However, if you are planning to use it, of course, you'll have to open it.
@@JackyYBT well honestly I have no idea what I would use it for. I’ll probably just keep it new just to see how the value holds. I guess. Thank you so much for the fast response.
@@JackyYBT I really like Apple products and my friend was talking about how she had an iPod and I asked her if it was brand new and she said yeah and I said I’ll take it but I got a really good deal on it and that’s why I watched your video to see if it was worth it to open it and everything that I saw in your video I just I don’t think it’s worth it

I thought about slipping my headphone cord through my long sleeve, directly to this while using it as a Watch. Damn this idea excites me, yeah think I’ll get one lol.
Happy to hear that! Soldering is a cool skill! I did that when I was in high school but I don’t have the equipment to do that now. Ya get it as that will be a cool addition to your retro Apple collection.
Been using a 7th gen classic for a couple weeks now have one of these laying around might get a new battery put in and use it as a back up device
7th gen is a good device, only one downside for me is Apple remove the clip.
The only Apple product to ever have FM radio 😅 By far the best Apple product ever released
Absolutely! If Apple were to update the nano with the latest 2024 specs, I'd jump at the chance to buy it without hesitation!
Yes!!!! I used that feature daily when I was going to the gym back in college. Their TVs transmitted audio over FM, so people could watch the TVs and listen to the audio in their headphones. It was amazing. Loved that little nano
Great vid! Still have my Nano 6th from when they first came out. Any advice on how to get it to play through a 2024 Ford? No aux input on the car and SYNC won't recognize the nano when plugged into the car's USB port(s). Thx
Thanks! You can try to get those 30-pin Bluetooth transmitter for iPod. That’s the only one solution I can think of.
@@JackyYBT Thank you! I was contemplating one of those. Will try it.
I have this way back in 2012 a product red then 2017 i sold it but it is really a good condition without any dents and scratches. When i was here i the America i buy another one from the amazon,it is brand new sealed (product red 16GB) but upon unboxing the item to try, i was so dissappointed since the product could turn ON! But when i pluggged the the cable,it works perfectly! So i guess the problem is the battery. But i dont want to send it for a repair since when they open the ipod for sure it will cause a damage or scratches around it,so what i might keep it a souvenir instead.. i got it in ebay by $160 something plus tax and delivery almost $200
That’s expensive tbh, sealed iPod nano is common to have battery problems since it’s a 13 years old device. I got mine for RM250 (54 USD) second-hand (comes with seller’s Watch strap too), got scratches but the battery still can hold charges.
@@JackyYBT nice!! Actually there is a technician in ebay that can fixed it but i need to pay $45 plus i need to pay for the shipping fee back and fort. But im so skeptical,what if he wont send back my unit,then it would cause another problem to me. So nuhhh!! I will just kept it as a souvernir!!
@@JackyYBT and yeah $200 is too much 😩😩😩
@@JackyYBT what if i bring to an apple store,maybe they might possibly repair it 🧐
You can try, no harm trying also haha
I love everything of this nano, except the stupid power button (sleep/wake) got stuck, and heard its been an issue for other users as well.
Ya you’re right on that, it is a common issue. Thank God that I never had to experience that, at least for now.
hey! your video inspired me to get one just today; i love it! got 8gb version, still trying to figure out some features here and there, and that leads to the question: can i sync it to my iTunes library without bricking it? my iPod touch one died after i tried to sync all my music to it, just stuck on the iTunes logo to this day, so I’m really afraid that can happen again. thanks
First of all, thanks for watching! I sync my iPod nano to iTunes all the time, never face issues like you faced before. So, you can go ahead and sync it.
@@JackyYBT thanks a lot! i got all kanye albums on it like 2 hours ago, this ipod is the best one I’ve ever used! do you know where can i download free mo3 with album covers? it’s lowkey important to me to have covers
I just search album art on google images.
Omg nostalgia! Used to own one, don't know where is it now 😂😂
It’s always fun to look back at the things we used to own. I hope your iPod Nano is living its best life somewhere out there! 😂
Very close to 50K subscribers ah, you’re doing great in the game!
If Apple released a new nano with Bluetooth and Spotify ability. I think they would make a killing. Intentionally not having all apps. People working out want music, and not the temptation of using phone.
That will be all the iPod fan's wet dream!
I just found mine again but the battery is dead. Ordered a new one I want to get it working again.
Wishing you the best of luck with your DIY repairs! 👍
I’ve been using iPod nano 6th gen since it was first introduced in 2010. After the latest Mac OS Sonoma update it got wiped and will no longer sync with Apple Music, hangs up when trying to perform a factory restore and if it tries to sync gives an insufficient memory error when it has more than enough free memory. What was once a nifty little device has become unusable.
Darn it! I guess windows is the way to go now. I have no problem syncing it with iTunes on my windows 11 PC
really good video love it thanks
Thank you for your kind words!
It was a step backwards when it came out though. No video playback
True. That’s why I said it was the least iPod nano design ever. IMO iPod nano screen is not that big anyway. I’m okay with no video playback and camera to trade it with the clip design. It’s too convenient when you are working out/jogging etc.
I just bought one today! Can’t wait for it to come
Good choice! Hope you enjoy it!
@@JackyYBTIT CAME TODAY AND ITS SO COOL I LOVE ITTT
@@silly-yamo haha noice, love seeing people enjoying old tech gadgets! Have fun!
It’s so cute and simple, I wish there was a way to get around the Bluetooth
Actually there is but you have to get a Bluetooth adapter for the iPod nano 6th gen. Or if you don’t want the hassle, you can go for the 7th gen iPod nano.
I’m going to get an adapter! I’ll dig up my little pink & green ones from ‘10. Like you said the design just timeless
Nice, have a blast with it!
These look cool. I might have to get one!
Yup it’s cool indeed, you will be the few people that will wear it nowadays.
I still have it after buying it new
That’s great! Is it still functional?
@@JackyYBT yes
👍
Hey ! Great video ! Do you know how can i connect mine to an iPad Pro ? (I know the cable, but I’m talking about how to transfert music to it). I can’t find it on my iPad.
You mean iPod nano connect to iPad Pro? I don’t think you can do that, just connect it to your computer and use iTunes to transfer music.
pretty sure not possible, apple wants you to manage your music with a mac and listen on your nano.. This ethos has changed a little over time, but the nano is stuck with whatever apple wanted at that time. im frankly quite shocked they still work with modern macs, since apple has such a proclivity for dropping support of 'legasy' products, but thankfully, still goin.. I just bought 2 refurb nanos with brand new batteries, etc (Im a crazy person) so I can continue to use them fir the rest of my natural life. :) music is my life, what can I tell ya
It’s not the best iPod Nano by a long shot, but it’s perhaps the coolest! I enjoy mine. Not as often as my Nano 5, though.
Bought this 2 days ago after wanting it for 10 years, a timeless relic the albums and playlist in it is so amazing something that all these bs smartwatches lack and most of them need phone to use music(complete joke)
Welcome to the cool kids club!
I just brought mine how do I transfer songs into my iPod nano 6
I made a video about this, you can go watch it.

Oh nice, that’s good. You can find iPod stuff in US pretty easily.
Can you please make a video for how to remove current music & download new music onto this device? I am trying to do it right now with no luck!
How To Put Music on My Old Apple Devices In 2023?
ua-cam.com/video/olln2e6M27A/v-deo.html
As for how to remove current music, you just have to delete the music that you don’t want on your iTunes and re-sync it. Very simple.
Is there a way to listen to this with bluetooth? Ik you can use bluetooth transmitters but they’re kinda expensive. Maybe there isn’t lol but I was just wondering.
Get the iPod nano 7th generation then 😂 Joke aside, unfortunately that’s the only way to get Bluetooth on iPod nano 6th generation.
@@JackyYBT eh thats alright then, the main reason I wanted an iPod was because I wanted to listen to music while in school, but they banned phones and wireless headphones.
Oh I see, iPod nano 7th generation and iPod touch are good options too. You can consider it.
I recently found my old one with a bunch of music that I lost, but I can't seem to transfer it to my laptop. ☹
Thank you for being patient. If you're having trouble transferring music from your iPod Nano 6th gen to your laptop, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially solve the problem:
1. Use iTunes: Connect your iPod Nano to your laptop using a USB cable and open iTunes (if you don't have iTunes installed, download and install it first). Once connected, your iPod should appear in the iTunes sidebar or under "Devices." You should be able to access the music on your iPod through iTunes and transfer it to your laptop's iTunes library.
2. Enable Disk Use: On your iPod Nano, go to Settings > USB Mode and select "Disk Use." This will allow your iPod to appear as an external storage device on your laptop, and you may be able to manually transfer music files from the iPod to your laptop's hard drive.
3. Third-Party Software: There are third-party software programs available that can help you transfer music from your iPod to your computer. Example: iMyFone TunesMate (Windows): imyfone.pxf.io/c/3778375/947344/12696
(Mac): imyfone.pxf.io/c/3778375/947345/12696
Download and install this program on your laptop, connect your iPod Nano, and follow the instructions to transfer your music.
4. Check Compatibility: Ensure that your iPod Nano is compatible with your laptop's operating system. Sometimes, older iPod models may not be fully compatible with newer versions of operating systems, which can cause issues with transferring files.
5. Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Try restarting both your iPod Nano and your laptop, then attempt the transfer again.
6. Check for Updates: Make sure that both iTunes and your laptop's operating system are up to date. Updates may include bug fixes and improvements that could help resolve any compatibility issues.
7. Contact Support: If you've tried the above steps and are still unable to transfer your music, consider contacting Apple Support or seeking assistance from a tech-savvy friend or professional for further help.
By following these steps, you should be able to transfer the music from your iPod Nano to your laptop successfully. If you encounter any specific error messages or issues along the way, be sure to note them down as they may provide clues to the underlying problem.
From where can i buy it
eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, Facebook Marketplace, Carousell (If you are from Southeast Asia) etc.
Do you have a link to your watch band that you use?

You're welcome!
Now with 2023 I am at a lost on how to add music to it via my iPad lol. Any ideas? I used to use UA-cam to download the music

mine got stolen in school, still got the band tho
Sorry to hear that
Oh my, that sucks!
Have 2 nano 6th... problem , no bluetooth... all bluetooth support stuff on the market unfortunately are shit...
If you want Bluetooth and nano then you have to go for the 7th gen Nano. That’s the only iPod nano that has Bluetooth.
can you download audiobooks to this model of ipod? Thanks!
Yes, you can download audiobooks for the iPod nano 6th generation. You'll need to use iTunes on your computer to sync the audiobooks to your iPod nano. Just make sure the audiobooks are in a compatible format (such as AAC or MP3) and follow the instructions for syncing in iTunes.
@@JackyYBT ace, thank you so much
@@rachelporter9317 Thanks for watching, remember to share this video!
does this support rockbox?
Nope
8GB is not evough for my library
Get the 16GB version then, too bad that’s the highest storage you can get.
So I bought one with music on it, and a classic 80GB with music. Was on a Mac before. Can I download the music to my PC? I had old software on my old Vista PC, but I don't know where it is.
You don't need to reformat your iPod Classic to add music from a Mac-formatted iPod to a Windows PC. Here's what you can do:
1. Connect your iPod Classic to your Windows PC using a USB cable.
2. On your Windows PC, open iTunes if you have it installed. If not, you can download and install iTunes from the Apple website.
3. After connecting your iPod Classic, it should appear in the iTunes sidebar or as a device icon in the top-left corner of the iTunes window.
4. If prompted, choose to "Trust" the computer on your iPod Classic's screen.
5. In iTunes, click on your iPod Classic to access its settings and summary page.
6. Under the "Options" section, make sure the option "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage music and videos" is checked.
7. Now you can go to your Windows PC's File Explorer and open your iPod Classic as a removable storage device. You should be able to see its content, including the "Music" folder.
8. Locate the music files you want to add to your iPod Classic on your Windows PC. You can copy and paste or drag and drop the music files directly into the "Music" folder on your iPod Classic.
9. Safely eject your iPod Classic from your Windows PC.
10. Disconnect your iPod Classic from the USB cable.
11. On your iPod Classic, navigate to the "Music" section to access and play the newly added music.
By following these steps, you can add music from your Windows PC to your Mac-formatted iPod Classic without the need for reformatting.
theres also a handy little util that some nice folks made called "senuti" that allows you to copy the contents of an ipod that is not syced to your machine - copy the stuff off first, add to your library, then sync to the ipod once your sure you got everything off there
Can you adjust sound balance?
You can adjust the volume. I don’t think there is a built in equaliser.
I want to buy a iPod touch 7th gen , where will I get that !? Please reply
You can find it on eBay, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, and Carousell etc.

lol 😂
I’m having a problem with mine. How do i get it fixed?
What problem?
I'm still using 3rd gen nano for years
Noice
How to get it bro. Can you give me a link
You can get it from your own country shopping platforms or go to eBay and look for it.

eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, Facebook Marketplace, Carousell (If you are from Southeast Asia) etc.
Does it still work on iTunes today??
Yup, it still works on iTunes.
@@JackyYBT awesome! I def wanna get one because I’m getting kinda tired of paying for streaming music.
Ya, especially streaming music services prices keep increasing. It may not be as convenient for adding your music compare to streaming music but you save a lot of money in the long run.
@@JackyYBT exactly bro like I’m paying to listen to music I grew up listening to and have all the words memorized lol how stupid is that 😂
Where this tech gone , we want it back
I know right!? Apple do you hear us?
I have a new th6 ipod I never use it 😅 back to 2010 I thought it a watch
Haha you are not alone for thinking like that
And here i am trying to fet rid of mine since i have not used it anymore lol I also have the first gen and it works but only while its plugged in😂
Haha it’s okay, hope that you can sell it fast. Battery problem, have to change it if you want.
where to buy yours clean alot
I got it from a private seller in second-hand condition on carrousell. You can search it on Facebook marketplace, Amazon and eBay etc.
@@JackyYBT bro if he sells other things give me his info ill tell from you because clean quality is important over money i spend on
It was only a one time thing from him. I can’t remember who I bought from as it was long time ago.
How much is a second hand one worth? I’ve got one in new condition and idk how much to price it
@@chill.bel.3arabi I don't know about your country price market. As for Malaysia, used good condition is range from RM200 - 250. I don't know about new condition as I yet seen that in Malaysia market.
This should've been a shuffle
Ya agree, shape like shuffle but it’s not a shuffle lmao
would it get the black spot😳
It’s possible but it’s not a common occurrence to the iPod nano.
God ... This video brings tears to my eyes😢
Bring back to your childhood right? 2010 good old days.
@@JackyYBT no sir i was in the academy i bought it in 2010 i had the strap too blue one and i was searching for another straps different colors and materials
Ah I see, excuse me for misjudging your age, though you were younger. Did you find it in the end?
@@JackyYBT no i replaced it ipod nano 7th generation now i have ipid touch 3rd g 32g
Good choice too
Where can i buy it ?
You can find it on eBay, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, and Carousell etc.
ugh back to when apple used to make really cool innovative stuff 😞
IKR! Now they only focus on profit.
The 6th gen ipod nano is the still, the worlds best portable music player for serious audiophles and people that care more about music than convenience. Why? Ill tell ya. Phones, suck. Nobody wants to run with a goddamn heavy, enormous glowing square on their arm.
I dont stream, I dont want to stream, the shit I like isnt on streaming platforms,.
wireless audio, SUCKS. Wireless audio will always suck. I dont have to charge my headphones, i just plug them in, and they go forever. and they sound amazing, lossless. fully unstressed amplification. and theye light. so they dont fall out my ears when I run. dont like the cable? simple, run it down the neck of your shirt, clip to your shorts or whatever. Battery lasts FOREVER. can shuttle through long files, the only thing I listen to (DJ Mixes) Ive had every modern solution. Apply watch ultra, every wireless headphone imagable. ALL GARBAGE the stupid watch wont sync EVER, bluetooth, more like POOTOOTH!! totally spotty and unreliable. Its a miracle every time the stars would align and all three things would work and be charged when it comes time to run. Dont habve time for that shit, when I need it, I need it to WORK. nothing compares to the 6th gen and a nice pair of headphones. Can not belive nobody makes a modern solution for people serious about their music.
Actually Sony is still making Walkman nowadays. The only well known that I know that still care about music. Sounds awesome but it’s bulky compared to iPod nano 6th gen. Also pricey too.
True dat, theres a couple of high end mfgrs now, BUT nothing comes close to the size and functioinality (its got a clip!!) of the nano..Also if you like DJ mixes as I do, for whatever reason ipod os is the only one that gets that people might want to listen to sometinng thats more than 5 minsn long and the only ones that get fast forwarding / shuttling to a precise area of a long file. With the others if you fat finger the FF button youre back to square 1 and gotta hold it down for like 2 mins to get back to where you want. frustrating!! Could there really be this few people that care about this kind of thing?I guess so :/ lol. Cheers!
@@JackyYBT
pretty good
Thank you!
its not the first apple watch but ok
It was the Apple Watch before the Apple Watch. Obviously it’s totally two different thing but the idea of Apple making a smartwatch started there.
Omg I never realized this
If u send it to india for me plsssssssssssss❤
No no no… 😂
100
Thanks!
I have a question I just bought one it’s brand new still in box. Is it better to keep it new or would it be ok to open it
If you are planning to resell it now or in the future, it's better to keep it new as it will have a higher value. However, if you are planning to use it, of course, you'll have to open it.
@@JackyYBT well honestly I have no idea what I would use it for. I’ll probably just keep it new just to see how the value holds. I guess. Thank you so much for the fast response.
