I just recently updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and, after the upgrade finished, my iTunes library, playlists and all, vanished. How can I restore the playlists and songs to iTunes?

I updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and it wiped my iTunes library. I no longer have my playlists or movies. I was able to recover my music, but the many, many playlists I had, I could not recover. Is there any way I could recover them?

Hello apbvieira,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes anymore after a recent update. I recommend the following article to help you get that in order named:

1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
This step will get you started, but there are additional steps in the article if you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • I need to sync my iPod Nano 3rd Generation with my new iMac, but my old pc no longer works so I can't follow the instructions on the apple site.  Is there any other way?

    Following the instructions on the Apple website on how to transfer music to a new computer using your iPod, it basically says that you have to hook up your iPod to your old computer.  Seeing as my old computer (a PC running Vista) died a horrible death and no longer works - including the hard drive being corrupted, I cannot do this.  Is there a way to sync my iPod Nanop 3rd generation to my brand new iMac without losing all my music?

  • TS3623 I rented a movie "Fracture".  We watched over an hour and it quit.  It just is locked on "Acquiring". I  guess I need to upgrade my Wi-Fi to high thru-put.  How can I see the rest of the movie and the upgrade?

    I rented a movie"Fracture"  We were able to watch an hour of it and then it quit been able yesterday evening.  I have not to continue with the movie which is quit good.  I probably need to upgrade my  wi-fi.  How can I view the movie after  the  upgrade?

    Once you start viewing a movie you will have 24 or 48 hours (depending on location) before it expires.

  • Ipod Nano 7th generation touch interface is now screwed with due to apple update.

    Hi, I recently purchased a new laptop switching over from a macbook pro 2010 of which the logicboard died. In this newly configured windows 7 64 bit laptop I downloaded the latest itunes. I then connected my ipod nano 7th generation to it and it requested to format it since it was formatted for a mac. I did so and restored my ipod nano 7th generation. After this however my previously perfectly working nano touch interface (swiping, touch to select) is now completely messed up. This has to be due to the formatting and/or the new nano update or itunes update from apple. I can't even swipe to the right or left to move between screen interfaces on my nano anymore. As well the touch icons require double taps and have rectangular white selection boxes over each icon (NOT NORMAL)
    Overall I am very displeased and want apple to fix this with either a new firmware nano 7th generation update or apple itunes update for windows 7 64bit. I'm thinking of buying a replacement iphone 4 but now that this issue is prevalent how can I TRUST Apple that nothing wrong will occur with connecting a new iphone 4 to my itunes on a windows 7 64 bit PC.
    I am NOT the only one with this issue as you can check out for yourself: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130727205241AAOmiuC
    REASON FOR POSTING THIS HERE: I want more exposure to this issue. I couldn't get access to customer support since my ipod nano 7th generation is over a year old. This is cruel but whatever, Apple does what it wants and I will post this here to do what I want. Gain exposure to this defect that clearly Apple is not addressing since the above link displays a user with the same issue and posted the problem 3 months ago.

    Hi ImAMinion.
    Very good question. I should have explained that part. VoiceOver changes how the navigation functions so it's a little tricky.
    From the home screen I got to settings by swiping up and down instead of the normal left and right.
    To open settings I first tapped once on the settings icon so that the box appeared around the icon. Then I double tapped the icon to open it.
    I repeated the "tap once to get the box then double tap to open" process to navigate through the settings menu. Navigate to: Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver -> set to off. Once it's off the navigation will return to normal.
    Hope that helps.

  • Itunes has stopped detecting my ipod nano 7th generation

    Hi I have recently bought an ipod nano (7th generation). Initially I connected it to my computer and everything was working fine but it has now stopped appearing when I connect it to iTunes. It connects - the ipod screen shows it is connected - but I cannot sync it or transfer music.
    I have tried it on my wife's computer and it works as normal but all my music is on my laptop. I don't know if I need to download a mobile support or something but it's very frustrating. I have the latest version of iTunes on  both laptops/
    I've followed the steps on the online help but the ipod isn't even appearing in my laptop's device manager. Gratedful for any help

    It's working now, apple must have updated itunes that fixed the issue, not sure.

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation Screen Replacement

    I recently dropped my iPod Nano 7th Generation and cracked the screen in the top corner.  Does anybody know where I can get this replaced in England and how much it costs?

    If you leave it plugged in long enough, it should respond. that happened to me a couple of times when my battery completely drained. if that doesn't work, hold down the circular menu button (Just beneath the screen), and the power button (Top right corner, ontop of the Ipod, above where the battery life would be shown), to rester it. You might have to hold it for about 15-30 seconds before it resets. Hope i helped

  • IPod Nano, 7th generation, compatible mini-stereo system?

    We recently purchased an iPod Nano, 7th generation as well as a Sony mini-system and 30-pin - Lightning adapter. The iPod would not play on the stereo. I have called both Apple and Sony. Sony tells me their stereos are not compatible with 7th generation iPod Nanos. So, I returned the stereo.
    Does anyone have a stereo that works with the iPod Nano, 7th generation?
    Thanks for any input on this at all!!

  • Can i use my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro

    I registered my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro.  While on my macbook, I tried to download wma audiobooks from the library using overdrive media console & its not working.....so, I decided to use my windows laptop.  I have the latest version of itunes on both laptops.  (I know I can download & transfer wma audiobooks to my shuffle using overdrive media console & windows laptop.)  I'm getting an error message that says I have to reformat my nano if I want to download wma audiobooks.  Can I use my nano on macbook pro & windows laptop?  will I ever be able to download wma audiobooks to my nano using macbook? 

    Your iPod Nano will need to be restored in iTunes on the Windows laptop before you can start adding/syncing content over to it.
    Or if you want to use it with OverDrive on the Mac, you'll need to download the books as MP3s as WMA is not supported.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.
