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.

No purpose as far as changing the way the toggle operates. It's for looks really. When you close the cover it will shut the toggle off automatically so then you don't have to second guess if you shut it off or not. I close mine just enough that its resting on the toggle its self so the light doesn't shine in my face. while im driving

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

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.

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.

Its so confuse at the beggining when you try to use it, but I will let you some instructios: First: This device you recharge it as an ipod. Second: When is charged, you put it on pulling the button to the left -the button is on the top- and then appears the options on the screen (music, radio, video, etc) Third: To choose the options, if you want to listen to music choose the option "Music", pushing the word button "Menu" -It appears in the top of the circle. After that, the music is into a carpet, you go to the "x" carpet from up and down pushing on the simbol left or right arrow, when you are on the "x" carpet push the menu button until appears the songs and for to begin to listen to a song do it the same operation until you hear it. You control the volume pushing the circle in the middle, to up and down, push the arrows. Alejandro.

the HK turns off automatically if no song is played from the ipod. i assume that's the battery saving feature. i am not sure how long it takes to turn off, but in my case i had to wait about 10 minutes until it turned off from alone.

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

When you close the cover it turns itself off as well as stops my IPod music player.

If you have steering wheel controls you just set the iPod volume at a little above midpoint or so and adjust volume with the steering wheel controls as well as the songs changing up or down. Hope this helps.

Luke,It keeps your last setting. You don't have to constantly play with your iPhone. Effects have been good - I usually toggle between one reverb and one chorus.

It came with a set up which allowed it to adapt to other iPods but I'm not sure which ones. Honestly it doesn't work that well anyway so we don't use it anymore, and if yours has a cover then you have to take it off first. We just use it as a clock now.

The controls work in a similar way as they do with your personal music on your device. Volume Up/Down work like normal. The next track works if the service offers that. I've used it a bunch with I Heart Music and it goes to the next track until the service says you can't forward any more. This is a service level limit, not anything controlle by our device. Pause/Play also work like normal. Let me know if you need any further assistance, Valerie - Wusic Customer Service

It is not necessary to turn on the TV to enter the DMPORT mode to output your iPod/iPhone music with this system. Shuffle on my iPod Touch works fine with this system... I also want to state that this system does not have a display for your iPod/iPhone. You have to change tracks manually from your iPod/iPhone which is a hassle.

The cover has a magnetic cover, which will close or turn off the ipad when it shuts, and turn it on when the cover is opened. By turning off and on, I mean more like putting it to sleep/waking it up. It does not shut it completely down. I think this is a very handy feature to have in an ipad cover. And I love this ipad cover.

Sometimes it is hard to know when you have turned your battery off. When you turn the unit off, put the lock on it. The charge really does last longer than an IPOD if you have the ZUNE off (not idle black screen) when not using it. My kids used to think they had it on off position because they were holding down the play/pause button long enough to put it to sleep, when actually you hold to back button and down on the outer circle to turn it off. This may not be your problem, but I am sure it is a problem to some of the readers. Plus, if you are downloading music: Zune uses a higher bit rate than Apple, so for music purists, your sound is of higher quality. A plus for owning a ZUNE.

I only use the up/down controls on my steering wheel to select music on my Iphone. So I only go forward or backward through the playlist that I selected using my Iphone. It odes show the songs, artist,etc.. I have used the controls on the radio to select various options but it is complicated and I would not do that if I was driving. I usually select a playlist on my Iphone, then start a song in that playlist. Then I select SAT and IPOD Bluetooth on my stereo either using the buttons on my stereo or the source button on my steering wheel. There are menus you can download off the internet that compliment the original user guide. The Isimple I use is in a 2009 LEXUS RX350. Bye the way, I have a new Toyota Camry that has built in Bluetooth. It doesn't do much more than the Isimple.
