Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,
GB

  • How do I manually transfer music from my MAC to my iPod Nano (4th Generation)?

    Recently, I have encountered a problem when trying to drag and drop songs and playlists from my Mac to my iPod Nano (4th Generation). I click on the file in my iTunes Library window but it won't allow me to copy it to my iPod. I've restarted both my Mac and my iPod but it hasn't helped. Do I need to download an update?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Do I need to download an update?
    Use Software Update to update iTunes if needed.  Read the iTunes/iPod Summary page to find out if your iPod Nano needs any updates which you can download from there.
    You cannot drag & drop anything to an iPod Nano.  You must sync - Syncing Music to iPod

  • TS1647 My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • Is it possible to sync my itunes account from my ipad to my ipod nano 7th generation? My desktop is so old that I can't do it from there.

    Is it possible to sync my itunes music from my ipad to my ipod nano 7th generation? My desktop computer is so old that I can't do it from there.

    No, the iPad cannot sync to anything else since its not really a computer.  You need a computer to do that.
    How old is your computer? Make and Model?
    Its not so much the computer, but more so the Version of iTunes installed on it.

  • 1 iPod Nano 3rd generation and 2 user accounts on Mac Mini

    My husband and I share our Mac Mini and we log in under separate user
    names. He is the administrator for the computer. My problem started
    when I initially purchased Phase and I could not upload it to my
    iPod Nano 3rd generation. So in an effort to demonstrate the problem I had my husband log
    in to the Mac Mini under his user name and then logged into the
    iTunes store using my account information and bought Scrabble. He was
    able to upload Phase to the iPod but then when I logged into my user
    name on the Mac Mini and went to the iTunes store I could only see
    Scrabble (not Phase) and in order to download it I was forced to sync
    my Games on the iPod which overwrote the Phase game. So now I only
    have Scrabble on my iPod and I can't see Phase in my iTunes account.
    How do I remedy this?

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

  • How do I sync photos from my computer to my IPod touch 2nd generation?

    I can't find anything in the ITunes store that will allow me to sync photos from my computer to my 2nd generation IPod touch.

    You don't go to the iTunes Store to sync photos, that is where you download and purchase content hence the name.
    - select your iPod from the Sidebar
    - select Photos at the top to the right of Summary
    Now follow the article below:

  • Syncing photos from my mac to my ipod

    I have just tried to sync two folders of photos from my desktop to my touch but as I sync each folder the previous folder is eliminated. What am I doing wrong.

    Because you can only sync one folder. What you can do is to put each of your two folder in another folder and since to that one folder. You can only nest one ( one folder in one other folder, not one folder in another folder and that folder in another folder).

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • TS1398 I just got I5 and when I tried to join my network it says it is not allowed?  How do I fix this?

    I got 15 and when I tried to join my wireless network it states I can not join any ideas?

    I assume your wifi network requires a password to join to it.  IF so enter the password when the phone asks for it when attempting to join the wifi network

  • HT2188 My iphone 4s won't sync to my computer. The computer said that the driver was not working. How can I fix this?

  • TS3212 I keep trying to download Itunes to my windows pc and I'm recieveing an error message that Apple Application support not installed. How to I fix this problem?

    Every time I go and install itunes, i recieve an error message stating that "Apple application support was not found." Error 2 and keeps redirecting me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Every time i do this, the same error message pops up. PLEASE HELP!

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The  Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

    Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone.  Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices. 

    I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
    The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.
