I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

Hey! Thanks for the reply!Just give it a try and let me know if it works. I still haven't bought it (because of the cover flow issue) but if that method works, then I'm definitely getting it :D

FYI: Apple just released a SW update that adds an option to toggle CoverFlow mode off completely.

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

No you don't. The cover has a little flap that protects where the charger goes into the device and folds out of the way when the ipod is charging.

Yes you can. I've never done it but I know many who have. A couple of the previous generations didn't remember where you paused your audiobook, which was a nuisance, but apparently the 7th Gen Nano has fixed that :)

Yeah, you just click (the up/down buttons) repeatedly and it seems to change the volume. My iPod doesn't register the change (I checked the screen) but the volume did change. I use them for running so it was necessary that I don't have to take he device out of the sleeve on my arm.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

You can control it through both but mainly through the iPod or iPhone. There is limited functionality through the cars radio. I can advance songs on a playlist and skip around but it does not show me what is playing.

I believe you can choose to turn off that feature on your iPod... Under settling then music.

The only way you can shut it off is by pausing a song and then press the hold button. It will go off and say see you later. Goodluck!!

You have to have the volume about 3/4 on the iPod for music and the radio volume pretty much takes care of the rest. just make sure you get set up before driving, fiddling with tuning and volume gets tricky while driving

Pretty much is on & off. Flow is pretty slow anyway, what is the point of going slower. What I did, was just drop the head in the bucket of water if for any reason I wanted to stop. for example, running to grab something I had forgot. But the on off button was easy access too

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

I havent had any problems with it. The screen cover doesnt lie flat against the ipod but pressing on it still works fine. You shouldnt have a problem but ill reccomend that you might want to try and find a pair of headphones with the volume and pause/play/ff on the headphone cord

You have to "dig" the asymmetry. The other "gotcha" is the volume control is just a rheostat type. It does not tell the iPod to increase or decrease the volume setting. I like he pink.

Only thing I can think of is to check the volume on your iPod. I have found mine is quieter if the volume is down on my iPhone.

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

Are you turning it off after use? You need to hold the power button down until the little light turns red. I was having to charge it every time I used it until I realized it needed to be turned off. I thought it would just shut off like the ipod does after a bit of time. Now that I turn it off, I can used it for many runs before needing to charge it.
