HELP!!!! Ipod nano synced with itunes but all purchased music do not play

HELP, PLEASE HELP!!!
I have two iPod nano's and both have the same issue. I can sync all of my music, single song whatever I like without any problems, however any music which I have purchased from Itures just skips on the nano when played back?
I have done all of the other hints listed, including De-authorizing the PC, reset nano, restored the nano, exported libary/imported libary... you name it... still the misic I've paid for does not work
I have just upgrade to iTunes 7, which all reports everything to be at the latest versions but still nothing works!
Maybe a Sony or other MP3 player would have been the beter optoin for my kids at christmas after all!
Please help!!

The ipod is not a backup device.  the music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • IPod Nano Sync with Mac, but iPod formatted for Windows

    I finally changed to the Mac platform and all my iPods and iPhones were synced with a Windows based computer. While my iPhones were not a problem, my iPod Nano (4GB 2nd generation) seemed not be recognized by my iMac.
    I can't seem to get my iMac to show the iPod under Devices to reformat it. Anyone have any advice to give?
    I have plugged it in to a my Windows based work laptop and it seems to work fine. However I don't sync with that machine and I have already sold my old Windows based computer it was synced to.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I have three iPods: 40GB iPod photo, 2GB black iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle. Each one has it's own playlist to auto sync songs from (technically, the 40GB iPod is synchronized manually, but the other two have playlists to sync automatically from). They each have different names so iTunes knows they're each different. So, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping just two iPods separate with your Mac mini or iMac.

  • Ipod classic syncs with itunes, but when I disconnect, no music shows on ipod

    I have an iPod classic 160GB and am able to sync the ipod to my macbook with iTunes 11, and it shows that I have 35gb of music on the iPod in iTunes. But when I disconnect the ipod, it says there is no music on the ipod. I think the problem started when I tried to connect the ipod to someone else's computer, but then there was a power outage so the computer died while the ipod was connected. Next thing I know, there is now music on the ipod. I've tried erasing everything and going back to factory settings, then re-syncing with my computer. Once the sync is complete, on the computer it shows the music is loaded, just when it's disconnected, there's nothing there.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Is this a playlist you created or one that was created by iTunes?  Is it configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes?

    i have just reloaded my computer with itunes after a crash,how do i get my music collection back....if i try to sync with my phone will it wipe my collection off my i phone?

    - Have you used the Spotligh search function on the iPod to see if it on a screen or in a folder and your just can't find it?
    - Are restrictions set on the iPod to hide/prevent use of the Camera app?  Go to Settings>General>Restriction to check.

  • Latest version of iTunes, but just purchased song does not play!

    Hi All,
    All other songs I have purchased in the last few weeks from iTunes play fine, however the song I have just bought won't. I have all the latest drivers, I have checked for Updates in iTunes but there are none...
    Personally, I am wondering whether the file corrupted when I downloaded it, in which case I guess my money has just gone down the drain and I have to cough up again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

    Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • IPod cannot sync with iTunes

    Hello everyone. I have a small problem with my brothers iPod. It cannot sync with iTunes, but mine can sync perfectly. We have the same iPod (Nano, 2GB) but his is black, and mine is white. When the iPod is plugged in, iTunes freezes for a minute or two and then keeps going. When songs are being updates, it freezes, and sometimes says that the source cannot by written to or read from, Any help?

    Oh and note that sometimes iTunes thinks its a White iPod but really is Black.
    Help!
    Note: i did read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267 and it did not help.
