i just bought a brand new nano. After updating iTunes and the nano OS, I downloaded maybe 5-6 artists for about 1gb of storage. After disconnecting i noticed that the nano now ran, I'd guess, about 80% slower. I have to press the music icon 4-5 times to get the machine to register my selection; and it continues for every selection I try to make. Is this just the way the OS is? Or have I gotten a defect or something?
Hi there jdb388,
It sounds like your iPod nano 7th gen is slow after you synced some music to it. I would start by resetting the device with this article:
If the issue persists then I would recommend restoring the iPod with iTunes and syncing your music one more time:
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

That didn't solve the issue. An example, when reset, I could swipe to go back, and had no trouble selecting the music icon, despite there being no music. When I put 6 albums on, it now will not swipe back, and I have to press the music icon multiple times and then the artist selection multiple times. At this point I am planning to return it.
Interesting, restoring as a new device will usually rule out software as an issue or a culprit when it comes to these kinds of issues. I would say that due to that troubleshooting having been done, the iPod will need service at this point:

Thanks, but if my brand new product needs service now it also loses all faith I have in it. I sent it back.
