Does the iPod Nano 7th generation have iCloud?

No, the iPod Nano runs a barebone version of iOS and does not have any internet connectivity. So you cannot use iCloud.

Are you sure it is running iOS? The iPod Nano 6th Generation runs Pixi, are you sure the 7th gen is not an upgrade of that OS?

And it doesn't matter anyway, there is no WiFi hardware in the Nano which is why it cannot use iCloud.

In order to this the Nano would have to have an OS that would provide for I/O and handle the transfer. It has neither.

You download the songs to your computer and then you sync the iPod with your computer. This is also how you back it up.

If you want to talk about how the internet capability would work, go to a place like MacRumors to do so. These are the Apple Support Communities, and any such discussion of speculation is frowned upon here. We're trying to help people with their Apple products, not give them hope that something COULD techinally be implemented. 😉

Nothing about what you typed is accurate. In fact it is nonsensicle. If I may:

So, firstly - I/O stands for INPUT/OUTPUT.

Secondly - OS stands for "Operating System".

No OS exists that does not have I/O. How else would it communicate with hardware (which includes touch screens, audio, keyboards, etc.)? Yes, even CPUs.

The iPod nano 7G takes input via your finger and via BlueTooth (for proof, connect it to a car or any other system with BlueTooth audio support). It outputs via the audio jack or via BlueTooth. BlueTooth provides device information along with song information to the receiver. The transmitter is what can control the iPod via BlueTooth.

So... I hope this clears up whatever you are trying to say.

"Nonsensicle"

Thanks for the lecture, I'm quite familiar with what I/O and OS stands for. Do you?

I agree that an OS has I/O. But we were specifically talking about whether the 7th Generation Nano has the I/O capability to handle a tethered connection and sync data to and from the cloud. We weren't talking about whether it streams music (one way so in this case it is just Output) or touch screen. But you apparently decided to just ignore this to try and show...something.

Everything I typed is accurate in regards to your theoretical claim. The Nano does not have the PAN Bluetooth profile that would allow it to tether to another device and Pixo is very limited in data exchange capabilites.

So I hope this clears it up for you by brining you back to the topic at hand.

Care to share computer languages we've both programmed in? I started with ALC and then Assembler and dealt with I/O at a machine level. And you?

Yep. Started with ASM at age 14 with the sole purpose of writing shellcode and making 0day exploits for pretty much every program on freshmeat.net at the time (both AT&T and Intel style). Started ASM with DOS originally, then NetBSD, then Linux. Then moved to C, HTML, JS, VB, Perl, Python, Ruby, CSS, Java, Lisp, SmallTalk, C++, Objective-C, Tcl, Tk, bash, zsh. I'm sure I am leaving out a few. Also enjoyed flex&bison while creating a query language for a proprietary CMS.

Today... I get paid to develop mobile apps and websites for the largest entertainment company on Earth... so I won't brag about starting with Assembly/shellcoding since they're literally worthless for me financially.

Yeah, make sure you check "Manually manage music and videos" under Devices when you get it in order to transfer without syncing the entire library.

Just my 2c - In theory, the 7G Nano could (hypothetically) share your computer's internet via its built-in Bluetooth. (OSX offers this in System Preferences)

Awww... my first post/response and it was negative. Thank you! :-D

LOL. I'm sorry. It popped up in my e-mail just now, and probably did on the two others. People come and go on here, it's not a small talk place. That's why I suggested MR (I'm on there too).

LOL, right.
