Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
PLEASE HELP!

Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?

  • 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?

  • Will updating my iTunes stop me from syncing my iPod Nano 3rd Generation?

    I have never updated my iTunes since I got my old Nano, and I'm scared that updating it will mean it won't work with my Nano anymore. I have recently got an iPhone 4 and in order to set up two seperate libraries for my iPod and iPhone, and iCloud I think I need to upate it.
    Basically I need to know if it will cause issues with my iPod.
    Thanks.

    Hello, Grover,
    This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iPod nano forums.

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Does the iPod nano 3rd Generation charge and sync in an iPhone 3G Dock?

    I wanna bye an iPhone 3G Dock. Now I have the question if I can connect my iPod nano 3rd Generation to the new dock for syncing and charging. On Apples homepage is the campatibility status set to only iPhone 3G, but I question this because older docks, like the one for the old iPod Photo works with other iPods as well.
    The dock connector on the iPhone 3G dock seems to be the same as the one on the charging cable and that cable has to be inserted in the dock. So why should it not work?
    I know I could bye the iPhone 3G cradle for the universal dock I already have, but I want to have the ability to make speakerphone conversations with the iPhone in the dock. That only works well with the original iPhone 3G dock.
    Can someone help me?

    Bit late on the old reply, but i'm using a different Apple Dock for my Nano. I have the Universal one,but it looked so big for the little Nano. I stumbled across an iPhone one by mistake, but only cost me £7 delivered, brand new.
    So in answer to your question, yes. And it enables me to get a skin on the iPod and still use the dock...

  • 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?

    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,

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Nano 3rd Gen to my iTunes 9.1.1?

    My daughter mistakenly downloaded the latest iTunes version which does not work with my older iPod Nano 3rd gen.  Before all this happened I was running version 9.1.1 which was working beautifully.  After uninstalling the updated version and reinstalling the 9.1.1 version, I cannot restore nor sync my music to the iPod Nano.  I would just be happy having things the way they were previously.  Any tips???  Thanks.

    Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

  • Problems with syncing my ipod

    Yesterday I updated my iPod tot 1.1
    After that it had that crappie bug with the video's, so I downgraded my iPod. After that I updated it again tot 1.1
    Now I have a problem with syncing my iPod (video's only).
    First I had some series it synced with my iPod, also after the first update. But after the second update it tells me there are some files it couldn't sync. (some videos it did sync btw, and the problem with the sound has gone, I can play movies normal now!)
    So the problem is now that it doesn't sync all my movies anymore, and I converted all of them with the same program..
    Anyone has the same problem or knows how to solve?

    Mijn advies: terug naar versie 1.0. Tenzij je versie 1.1 nodig hebt, natuurlijk (voor radio o.i.d.). Of wachten op versie 1.2
    Ik heb zojuist versie 1.0 geherinstalleerd, en alles werkt nu prima. En telkens als iTunes vraagt of ik de nieuwste versie wil installeren klik ik op NEE.
