Ipod nano third generation: no music after sync.

I have a Ipod nano third generation upgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. Now it shows no music music after syncing. In itunes however, it shows data on my ipod. This can't be removed, unless I restore my ipod. Syncing videos and pictures do work fine. I have a G5 OS10.4.11, itunes 9.2.1
Can anyone give me some help?

For sure. Sorry I couldn't bring better news.
You can find some pretty cheap repair quotes from 3rd party repair companies. It might not hurt to look into it.

Hi sid1010,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library. Here's how:

Have ipod nano 5th generation..will not sync dognostics in itunes says no ipod touch found...its a nano pass all other test

i have a ipod nano 5th generation. use to work fine now will not sync. have done the 5rs several times all that got me was no songs on my ipod at all. have latest version of itunes. when run diognostics test on itunes pass all but says no ipod touch found. whay is it saying no touch when its a nano? I will never purchase another ipod only worked until the warnety ended.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

My ipod nano 6th generation turns off after she tells me the screen is dimming than ipod goes off.

I wanted to know if there is someone at Apple that can give me some guidance on how to use my ipod nano 6th generation. I am not sure if I am working it properly or if there is something wrong with it.
I cannot get back to home page; I shut it off and on and it just stays on same page. I cannot take the voice constantly interrupting the song or functions;
When you set an album in play it will just play the first song over and over never going to next song. The genius interrupts and starts randomly playing different songs; when you select a song the voice comes and and tells you the screen is dimming and then seconds later it turns off.
I have tried to read the directions put the ipod won't allow me to follow.
Please help!

Is VoiceOver turned on? See here for more help on how to turn it off if need be.

Ipod nano 4th generation takes forever to sync

I have Windows Vista, Latest iTunes, and thhe 4th Gen. iPod Nano.
In addition to this problem i have only one USB port in the back of my computer that works with my iPod. If i plug it in in any other port, Windows gives me a message that it has malfunctioned, etc..I don't know if that has any relevance to the problem im about to tell you. The following constantly recurs: I plug my ipod in to my computer and open iTunes. iTunes sees my iPod, so far everything is fine. I then proceed to automatically sync music, movies, and TV Shows to my iPod. It takes approximately 5 minutes to sync all my music(445 songs - 1.65 GB) and then by the movies it just continously sncs without end. The progress bar starts and remains at 1/4 done. In the most recent attempt to fix this, I have Restored and Reset my iPod Nano, but I was still waiting about 30 minutes for one movie to sync. And after i realized that it wasn't going to happen, i tried to stop the syncing by clicking the 'X' by the Sync progress bar, but it did nothing. So i instead clicked on the eject next to the picture of my ipod, and the result: Complete crash- iTunes stopped responding and in order to close it i had to unplug my iPod and close iTunes with Task Manager. The only thing i can do that works to sync is to enable Manually manage music and videos and add all music, movies and TV shows manually. But i really need to be able to automatically sync because manually managing everything is a pain. Please help!

I think there is someting wrong with your USB. It's USB 2.0, correct, not a really old computer with USB 1.1?
It takes approximately 5 minutes to sync all my music(445 songs - 1.65 GB)
It's not syncing all of your songs every time, only changes since the last sync, so 5 minutes is probably too long of a time too. The movies take a much longer time, because each one is quite large, compared to a song.
Here's a test you can do. You can use a USB external drive, a USB flash drive, or even the iPod with disk mode enabled. Find one of those movie files, something that is at least 100mb. Use Windows to manually copy that one file from your computer's internal drive to something on the same USB port that the iPod uses to connect. If you have a USB flash drive, that would be ideal. Time how long it takes.
If it takes a really long time time to complete, that's the same problem iTunes is encountering. It would be a more general problem that goes beyond iTunes and iPods.

Can iPod nano playback on same song after sync?

Hello,
Everytime when I add new music to my playlist on my ipod nano, I disconnect and go back to continue to play same song on where i left off, it randomly goes to a new song after syncing?! I always keep my playlist on shuffle, could that be the problem? It does not happen to my podcasts, which continue on where i left off whenever I sync. I'm confused, please help

To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

New IPOD NANO (5th Generation) - Copying music files from IPOD to ITUNES

Help!
I managed to sync all of my music files from my ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer and I also managed to sync one album to my IPOD NANO from my old G4 Tower Apple computer's ITUNES. Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer. Do I sync in the manual mode option?

Happy New Years!

Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer.
You can't use iTunes to transfer music from iPod to computer unless that music was purchased from the iTunes store.
If so, see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.

IPod nano Third Generation problems...

help, anyone!
my sister's iPod nano doesn't play the songs that are in it... I am so frustrated because we had to install iTunes on another computer just to sync the songs we wanted... and it doesn't work at all.. let me explain:
when i decide to play a song on the ipod, the upper part of the screen shows that the song is playing, but the song duration bar :
0:00 ------------------- 4:15
does not move...
most importantly, if you hear the song you are playing, it doesnt play at all...
silence, the only thing I hear...
help me please , no one helped us on our last question...

It happened to me too, so I just resest the ipod, and now everything works. Switch the hold button at the bottom on then off then hold the menu and center button at the same time until the ipod resets. You won't lose your music, and it should work correctly.

ANYTHING HEPLS!

My cousin had this same problem when she plugged in her ipod.
Luckily i was able to fix it for her.
If it doesnt show up in either iTunes or windows explorer then follow these steps
1. Click the start menu and right click my computer, click manage in the drop menu
2. Accept the security thing and then the computer management will appear
3. In the right hand pane, look for disk managment and click it.
4. In the right hand side now it should display all of your system disks, locate your iPod and click format, a dialog box will appear and check quick format and then click format.
5. Disconnect your ipod and it should begin to restart.
But if that doesnt work, try this
1. Get into computer management like before
2. Go to device management in the left pane
3. In the right pane it should show all the devices installed on your computer grouped in categories.
4. Locate your iPod right click it and click uninstall, disconnect it and then reconnect it and let the device install.

Why does my iPod Nano 6th generation stop playing after a specific time only on 2 songs? (but both at different times)

My Songs (Eminem,Just Lose It) stops after 57 second seconds and my other song (Jessie J, Who's laughing Now) stops after 1 minute 23 seconds. I think this might've happened because internet connection was lost while it was loading but I'm not sure how to help it and find a way to make it play fully threw.

Do these same songs play okay in iTunes? Were they originally downloaded from the iTunes Store?

HT1351 Why won't music sinc to ipod nano 3rd generation?

When I sync my ipod nano 3rd generation, no music actually goes onto the ipod.

Did you select it to sync?

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

"I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.
