My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?

Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?
I wanted to add in my Christmas playlists and most recent purchases, when it wouldn't get past syncing the second song a couple of times, I tried restore and lost everything because it still wouldn't sync. Then I tried to sync to my old computer which isn't itunes 11, and doesn't have my latest songs on it. My ipod did sync then though, so it seems to be a conflict between my version of ipod nano and the latest version of iTunes??????
Has anyone had the same problem? is there a solution??

I am having the identical trouble as described above with my month old Macbook Air. I tried everything with the ditto results. Please help anyone!
Mine is a Macbook Air 13', 128GB, 1.86GHz with 4 GB RAM.

IPod Nano 6th generation won't sync with iTunes.

I replaced the battery in my iPod Nano 6th generation and now it won't sync with iTunes. It shows in the list as iPod recognises that it is in recovery mode, so advises to restore. Press the restore button and after a time a message says can't find the iPod

do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

IPod Nano 6th Generation Won't Eject

iTunes recognizes my new iPod Nano (6th Generation) and I can add music, playlists, etc. When I go to eject (both through iTunes or through Finder/desktop), the eject process seems to freeze and the iPod is not completely ejected. Furthermore, I have tried to restore the iPod through iTunes and the disk will just spin after decompressing the iPod software package. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and still have the same issue. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to address.
Thanks.

Both itunes and ipod flash "sync in progress", then it stops and says sync complete, but no music was transfered. I restored the ipod thinking that was the issue, but it continues. I unchecked manually managing the music and in devices i unchecked "stop ipod from automatically syncing". What is wrong?

Ipod nano 6th generation won't shuffle entire library when connected to car

Hello,
I have been connecting my ipod nano 6th generation to my car (a Citroen DS3) using the usb cable. The problem I have is that the music defaults to playing alphabetically through the artists and will not allow me to shuffle my entire music library. I can see my library, arranged by artist, on my cars display and can select which artist I want to listen to, but the car itself will only allow me to shuffle songs for the artist that is currently playing and not the entire library. I cannot control the music that is playing via the ipod itself as it locks itself as it is being used as an accessory.
Has anybody got any ideas?
Many thanks,
Abi

Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com - you need your device serial number for this. It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano. (!!!)
Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open :/

New iPod nano 6th generation won't charge.

I just bought a new ipod nano 6th generation multi-touch. I opened it and it had no charge and a black screen, no surprise I assumed it just has no juice in it. I plugged it into my macbook pro via the USB cord included and after leaving it attached for over 3 hours it still has yet to charge or offer me more than a black screen. Is there any way to remedy this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just simply dead and I need to return it for another? I have a half marathon to run in a week and I'd like to know soon so I can have it for the race x.x

If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

IPod nano 6th generation won't restore

my iPod nano 6th gen, is locked in some kind of restore loop. It says it's restarting after the restore, and after the iPod screen goes from do not disconnect to the Apple logo temporarily, the screen goes back to the restore screen, and iTunes says it needs to be restored. What do I do now?

We had to replace ours and it seems to have fixed the issue, so unfortunately, it does sound like a hardware issue. The thing that ***** the most is that I had the first one engraved for my wife as a "birth" gift, and when you replace something, they don't give you the option to get the replacement engraved.

IPod Nano 6th Generation won't xync Podcasts

Hi
I am in iTunes and selected the Podcasts I wanted to sync on my new iPod Nano.
After syncing, the Nano says there are no podcasts.
Any advice? Thanks.

When you connect your ipod, on itunes on the right side tool bar it says devices.click on your ipod and a summary should come up, click on the podcast tab and select the "sync" option then you could choose which ones to sync.
If it can't help you,you also refer this [iPod Transfer Reviews|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPodTransfer_SoftwareReviews],which lists some tools to work out iPod to computer.
Cheers.

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.
