HT1320 ipod nano 3g from EBay does not see my downloaded itunes but my pc sees them when connected to the nano

I can connect the ipod, the pc recognizes it, can download my itunes and see them at a latter date, they are all mp3 files. The ipod knows that the right amount of merory was used (3.4 G) but does not see any music. When I got the ipod the menue was funnyI was able (I think) to do a reset only after one of the Utube videos suggested toggling the lock swith several times, thid in supposedly refurbished device.. Is there such a thing as downloading original software to the nano? Also, the itunes were on a 1g device. Could my itunes software on the pc be out of date for this device? If so, could that be fixed? My android (unfortunately trashed) had no trouble accepting the download and playing them. Thanks, Bob

Sounds like your iPod's software is corrupt. Connect it to iTunes and restore it. This will wipe all data from the iPod, reset all settings back to their defautls, and install a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Then resync all of your music back over to it.

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging. How can I get Itunes to recognize my devices (that have always been recognized until this latest software update)?

ITunes does not see airport express speakers but airfoil does

iTunes 6.0.2 and AE 6.3
iTunes does not see the AE speakers but Airfoil does.
Have restarted AE to no avail.

Having a similar problem. iTunes 6.0.2 "sees" the Airport Express but cannot select the speakers associated with the Airport. iTunes 6.0.1 works on a Mac Mini with the same Express. Tried to re-load the system from the CDs but iTunes 6.0.2 still on

Ipod does not respond to computer/Itunes, but reboots constantly.

I have been using the same Ipod since 2/14/2006 (Black 30GB-5th Generation). Never had any problems with it at all.
About 4 days ago, I updated to the latest version of Itunes (Ver 7.6.2.9.) and I have been having problems with my Ipod ever since. Everytime I connect my Ipod to the dock/computer to sync, it turns off by itself immediately and keeps rebooting over and over by itself when connected. My Ipod is not able to establish a connection with my computer or Itunes.
I have read other recent threads in regards to similar issues, namely "low battery" or a sad Ipod face, but I haven't had either appear on my Ipod yet. I have put Ipod in Disk mode and plugged it in with a full battery to no success, I have rebooted OVER 50 times in the past 48 hours. The battery is well charged and has not given me any issues, I changed the battery on the Ipod 2 months ago, but it never affected anything. I am able to charge the Ipod fully with my standard AC Charger. At first I thought it was that my computer was not giving enough power to my Ipod, but according to the other posts I read, that is not the case.
In addition, If by chance not enough power is the problem, how can I put more power in my Ipod when it is plugged into the USB port? Why did it change all of a sudden? Most dual AC Power Adaptor USB ports for Ipod have a firewire prong, but I do not have a firewire outlet in my computer to plug in. Can I connect the computer to AC power adaptor and then to Ipod docking station?
I have tried connecting Ipod to another USB port, no success either.
Help! Troubleshooting this on my own has taken its toll. I tried everything!

When i said reboot, I meant "restarts my Ipod".
I tried installing driver to no success. What could be wrong? My Ipod just doesn't communicate with my computer since the latest Itunes was installed.

IPOD shuffle Windows XP explorer does NOT see my IPOD

Hi hope someone can explain or help,
I have an IPOD shuffle using the latest ITUNES software. I connect my IPOD to the USB, ITUNES sees it fine & syncs. But in Windows XP, I go to windows explorer, I can't see my IPOD drive why is that?
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks,

Hi Katrina,

I have a DVD drive (D drive) & a CD/DVD RW drive (E Drive) and an external USB drive (G drive) during this screenshot my IPOD is plugged in and seen by ITUNES but it is not shown in explorer as I said.
Thanks for any help,

Importing from CD does not play properly in iTunes on Leopard

When I am import from a CD either separately per song or all at once, the songs import and you can see the song on my library; but then when I play they do not work, only work for a few seconds and then quit, or skip badly. I have tried changing the preferences and am importing as .mp3 now but still have same problems. I read the forum and saw problems similar but not exactly like mine. Also when just clik and drag the track as an .mp3 from an external drive I get the same problem. Anyone know what gives?
Message was edited by: PDMG

I just started having the same issue, I just got a brand new cd and when I import the cd I get skips and scratches in the music. I just updated to 10.6 today, and I don't know if it is a problem with the new operating system or with my aging machine (most likely my machine because it is a '06 MB). I know it is not the CD because I can play it on my surround sound at home with no skips. Any ideas how to fix the issue?

Mom does not see my iChat video, but I see her, and my wife can see mine

When I iChat with Mom, I can see her, but she cannot see my iChat video. All she sees is herself as if she is still in iChat preview mode. Audio works fine. It is like a 1-way video chat with a 2-way audio chat, only we did not request this mode.
This was working for years (from when Mac OS X Panther first offered iChat video chats). Mom only seeing herself is a fairly new situation, but I can not pin down when it started, or what might have triggered it.
My wife can connect with my Mom, and again, my Mom's display stays in preview mode, but my wife can see my Mom, same as I see, only my wife is using her own MacBook Pro.
When I'm at Mom's using my MacBook, I can iChat with my wife. She can see me and I can see her. My wife and I can also successfully iChat video chat when she is away on business trips using the hotel's WiFi. I do not think it is my MacBook, nor my wife's MacBook Pro.
And also while at Mom's with my laptop right next to Mom's iMac G4 using a Bonjour local connection, I see what Mom is sending, but she stays in preview mode only seeing herself.
So I think I've eliminated the internet as a whole, and I've eliminated my MacBook as being the cause.
I really think it is Mom's iMac G4.
I've tried trashing all the iChat related .plist files, but I could have missed something.
Mom's Connection Doctor says it is getting stuff from me at between 13 and 15 frames/second, but all that is shown is her own iSight image.
Some configuration details:
o Mom's 1.25GHz G4 PowerPC iMac is Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) all the latest updates.
o Mom uses the original firewire iSight.
o While I think I've eliminated the router, it is an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz mode, channel 1).
o Verizon DSL connection that has worked just fine in the past, beside same situation occurs when I'm sitting next to Mom using a Bonjour connection.
o Mom is 300 miles away, so I can not just drop in. However, I do have VNC access to Mom's system over an ssh tunnel.
o Firewall is Off
o My 2GHz intel Core 2 Duo white MacBook is Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My wife has an intel 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My router is also an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11n 5GHz only mode), with an older flying saucer Airport Extreme 802.11g in bridge mode to support older Macs and iPod Touchs.
o My broadband is also a Verizon DSL connection.
o Firewall is Off.
Events that have happened recently. I'm not saying they are the cause, but generally things that did work do not stop working for no reason at all.
o I've applied Apple's Software Updates.
o I've experimented with TeamViewer.com as an alternative to VNC for remote control (this did not involve video, but it was something new to the mix). NOTE: I DO NOT keep TeamViewer running. I find my VNC via OSXvnc to be satisfactory.
o My nephew moved back in with his Mom (my sister) and his Dad, which is where my Mom happens to live. However, my nephew has his own 12" G4 PowerBook, so he does not need to mess with Mom's. But then again, years ago, I found my Mom's previous Bondi Blue iMac had its web server enabed after a visit from my nephew. Of course now he is a college gradate and much more responsible. Oh yea my nephew was a College Quarterback for a Top Ten College, and I'm a bookworm type. I am not going to accuse my nephew of doing something to his grandmother's iMac unless I have absolute proof
o At one time I had the Chax plug-in installed on Mom's iMac G4. I used Chax to uninstall itself.
I'm stumped. I've tried all the problem isolation things I could think of, as well as the tried and true "Delete the .plist" trick (assuming I found the right .plist(s)).
Has anyone actually lived through this, solve it for someone else, other.

I would do the Latest Combo Installer for the OS level she is at.
That is going to have to wait until after Thanksgiving.
While I'm confident that applying/re-applying the latest Combo Update will not cause any problems, if anything goes wrong (and I know Murphy personally), I will not be able to drive the 300 miles to Mom's house until the weekend following the Thanksgiving weekend.
If I'm going to try doing something like this remotely, I'm not going to do it unless I can get in the car and be a Mom's house the next morning to clean up any mess I create.
So I will put your idea in my "To Do" list (I'll even create a Google Calendar event), to try this 4-Dec-2009.
Thank you for the idea. If I have not found a solution before the 4th, I will install the Combo update.
But I do have a question. Why would Mom's iChat display the video preview window showing what her iSight camera sees, if she was unable to display the remote video stream, just because there was a ColorSpace issue. Hay, I write software for a living, so I know that the left hand does not need to know what the right hand is doing, not the big toe, the elbow, an ear, etc... Software is full of paradoxes. But I figured I would just ask.
And I'm still going to give the Combo update a try on 4-Dec-2009.
But in the mean time. Other suggestions would be appreciated.
Does anyone have a laundry list of .plist files I should try deleting? I did try deleting some obvious ones, but maybe I missed something important, or maybe there is one that does not say iChat, but is just as important.
You never know, if I get enough ideas (tons of ideas), and they all still fail, and I'm frustrated beyond belief, maybe I'll break down and get Mom a nice 27" iMac for Christmas! But if I do that, I'm getting one for me first

Mail does not see accounts after shutdown but are in Mail Folder

Several days ago upgradeD an iMac from Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.1. After the initial update Mail did not recognize any mail accounts that were in the Mail folder in user/Library. Solved my replacing user folder with one backed up up several days before by Time Machine.
Yesterday upon start-up I noticed that my earlier Time Machine backups were no longer seen by Time Machine however, Mail seemed OK. This morning, upon start-up, Mail again does not recognize any accounts, and I am dead in the water!
The Mail Folder still seems to look OK, but Mail will not input from this folder.
Is there any way without recreating all 8 mail accounts and have Mail rebuild?
I do have daily Retrospect tape backups.
Any help out there?

this means that your mail preference file was reset. quit Mail and restore the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the most recent backup. start Mail and it will recognize its existing accounts and mailboxes. however, something is wrong with your system as this should not be happening with any regularity.

ITunes Library Does Not See Music in iTunes Music Folder

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I can't seem to search the right combination of terms to find the answer.
The issue: I just bought a Macbook Pro, an upgrade from my Powermac G5. On the old setup, iTunes was accessing its library from a second internal harddrive. I've removed that drive and put it in an external enclosure for use on the MBP.
When setting up my MBP, I used migration assistant to import my settings (probably the source of my problem). Once set up, I copied my entire iTunes Music folder to the harddrive of the MBP and pointed iTunes to it.
iTunes lists all of the music but can't find any of it. I've tried changing the iTunes Music folder location in the preferences to something else and then back to where the music is, just to force iTunes to reread it and nothing seems to work.
How can I get iTunes to recognize this music? Again, iTunes is pointed to the correct folder and all the music is in there. It's very important that I don't lost my comments and playlists if at all possible.
Thanks!

Not sure why this worked, but I dragged my old iTunes Library file and iTunes Music Library.xml from the old computer into the new one, and it automatically worked. Weird fix, but I'm happy nonetheless.
