Question: Any way to turn cover flow off? I mostly use the ipod when I'm driving so I don't wanna have to look at the ipod every 5 seconds to take it off cover flow mode and change the song. Can you disable it by turning on the hold switch?
Document: I got this Ipod as an upgrade to my old Ipod Nano and this one is definitely a bomb. It crashed all the time, mostly when I'm updating my library leaving it completely blank.The shuffle feature is downright annoying, it changes the song even while walking down the street and apple provides no way to turn it off.I really enjoyed using apple products but no longer,  I have try a different brand next time.
I reset the Nano and all was well.5) On my 4GB Nano some songs load but only about 10 seconds play. I can't seem to find a way to fix this. The song will play fine on iTunes but not in the Nano. It only happens to about 10 of my 500 songs.Gen 4: So far this is not an issue on the new Nano.
I am used to using the HOLD button/switch so if I am doing something that might cause it to shuffle if jarred (raking leaves, shoveling snow, lawn mowing...)then I put the hold button on. If it is going to be somewhere that the wheel might get pressed and turn it on...use the hold. This is not rocket science! And one last thing...I LOVE THE COLOR!!!!
First of all I was never an apple supporter because every item that I've bought from them dies within a year I purchase it. I decided to give the Ipod nano a try because I need something small to hold all of my music. Secondly, I ordered a 4th Generation Ipod nano and some how I ended up with a 5th Generation Ipod nano with a camera and a microphone. Also, the Ipod I purchased would not even turn on....
On the 2G/3G, if you turned on the hold switch it would not reset the shuffle and you could just continue from where you were, even in the middle of a song. This is a real issue for me because I like to shuffle the songs, then work through the entire playlist without any repeats.
It works very well and I love the color. The cover flow option can be turned off which is good because I find it useless. It is easy to navigate and holds more music than the Sandisk Sansa I had. The only problem I have with is with the shake to shuffle feature. It takes multiple shakes for it to change songs. Overall I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase an mp3 player.
Even though my older 80 GIg iPod can hold over two weeks of music and video, with the creative use of playlists, I was pleasantly surprised of how much music and video I can take with me. It's so much nicer having a very, very small and lightweight player, with no moving parts, that can be dropped and abused with little worry. (see my other reviews for a good, protective skin)The screen is very sharp and bright, and playing videos is a real treat.
This means if the Nano is tilted in your pocket you can't just reach in and adjust the volume. You have make sure it's standing straight up or all you do is scroll through the covers. It's a major hassle. And the cover flow "feature" doesn't work very well, anyway.The battery life is noticeably shorter than my old 2G/3G Nanos.Like others in the reviews, I'm going back to my 3G. I sold it to a friend and I'm just going to offer to swap.
I can listen for 5 hours a day and the simple act of syncing new podcasts a night with the Nano plugged into my PC is enough to charge it. I never have to go out of my way to plug it in to recharge otherwise.Gen 4: I'm pleased with the battery life of the gen 4 too. I've played two hours of video and haven't used half the battery. The first few days the battery life was a bit short but it seems to have seasoned and improved.
I bought this item for my spouse as a christmas gift. He loves it- the fact that it's able to hold ALL of his music whereas his first or second generation ipod nano couldn't. This is his second ipod to own. He uses it generally for traveling in the car, and for his work outs. We love it and I'm glad they finally have a feature where caption is an option because as I have a hearing impairment, that allows me to use caption for videos that are captioned.
Answer: FYI:  Apple just released a SW update that adds an option to toggle CoverFlow mode off completely.
