If iPod nano displays a “Use iTunes to restore” message
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (download it from m
www.itunes.com/downloads).
Connect iPod nano to your computer. When iTunes opens, follow the onscreen prompts to m
restore iPod nano.
If restoring iPod nano doesn’t solve the problem, iPod nano may need to be repaired. You can m
arrange for service at the iPod Service & Support website at www.apple.com/support/ipod.
If you can’t add a song or other item to iPod nano
The song may be in a format that iPod nano doesn’t support. The following audio le formats are m
supported by iPod nano. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting:
AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps) Â
Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format) Â
MP3 (up to 320 Kbps) Â
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) Â
WAV Â
AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) Â
AIFF Â
A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has CD-quality sound, but takes up only about half
as much 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’s
converted to AAC format by default.
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 Help.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA les to AAC or MP3 format. This
can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.
iPod nano doesn’t support audible.com format 1, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2, or WMA audio les.
