My ipod nano 7th gen won't sync with new itunes!

Ever since I have downloaded the new version of itunes, my ipod will no longer sync. Firstly, it wouldn't even be recognised on my desktop but I somehow managed to fix that and is now recongnised on computer. When I plug my ipod in it says its connected but now everytime i try to sync my ipod it comes up with the same message on itunes of 'an ipod has been detected, but cannot be indentified properly. Please disconnect an reconnect the ipod, then try again. If the problem persits, unintall and reintall itunes.' I have gone through all the support on the apple website, and uninstalled itunes numerous times and tried all usb ports to make sure there is no faults in that area but nothing seems to work. Just annoying how my ipod used to work perfectly fine before I downloaded the new version of itunes, thought updates were meant to improve the experience? Any help will be very much appreciated!

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect with phone

    I am trying to connect my Droid Razor HD with my iPod Nano 7th Gen using Bluetooth. My phone recognizes the connection, my iPod doesn't. States:
    Mobile phone
    Not Connected
    What's going on?

    The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen won't sync to my iTunes.

    I was charging my iPod when it ended up going to a white screen. I reset it like I was suppose to and that didn't help, so I connected it to my laptop and restored it via iTunes like another post on this forum had suggested. I went back through the setup and did everything the way I had the first time and now it won't sync to my iTunes library. When I go to the iPod tab and select sync, it loads for maybe half a second and stops on my computer screen, then the iPod will show that it's syncing for a few more seconds and then it stops and there is no media on the iPod. Can anyone maybe help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to sync my 3rd gen nano as well with itunes 10 but in my case I can see the removable drive in the Finder. I can eve write files to this mounted drive.
    When I connect the same nano to my Windows XP which also has itunes 10 it shows up with the starting config screen.

  • My ipod nano 7th generation won't sync ratings to itunes. What can I do?

    Hi,
    I have an Ipod nano 7th generation bought about a month ago and usually has no problems.
    I've been having an issue with it where it won't sync songs' ratings from the Nano to Itunes. My Ipod is set to manually manage Music and Video. And no ratings are added to the Itunes Music library when I press sync.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?
    Thank-you.

    This is literally driving me crazy.
    I spend days, or more likely months rating my itunes library.
    I was happy to get this new ipod as it would permit me to finish rating my songs, as I used to with my old ipods.
    Its only about 3 weeks after buying this new ipod do i realize that it is randomly changing song ratings. It has therefore changed all the ratings i painstakingly had made. After trying many different ways to find out where the problem was coming from, I even did the drastic move of unrating all my songs, both on the ipod and itunes. Sure enough, when i plugged it back in to sync it, it was giving me new random ratings for about 40 songs, even though they had previously been totally blank.
    I'm extremely surprised I can't find any information about this. This bug has killed all the work I had spent trying to organize my library, and leaves me feeling quite disgusted.
    edit:
    There seems to be an all around problem with this new ipod. It isn't showing the play count for songs I know i listened to, and it's adding random songs in my top 25 most played that i never listened to.
    An answer would be very nice.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen won't sync

    I bought a new 7th generation ipod nano for my son for Christmas to replace his broken ipod Touch. We have a library of songs in our account that he has purchased and would like to access on his new ipod nano. I have spent over 4 hours today trying unsucessfully to understand how this should work. I have updated to the newest version of iTunes. I can see all the songs in the library. I have registered the new ipod nano. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how this works. We had similar problems with the ipod Touch and found that to be a frustrating experience as well, which makes me wonder why I bought this. I have looked at the online communities, the manual that I had to download and topics on the "help" on Apple.com. I am seriously regretting my purchase. It should not be this hard to migrate the already purchased content onto the new device. I can't believe that I have to write a question in forum just to see if I can get an answer. If this cannot be resolved quickly it will be returned.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    Please give us some more details on what is not working. The more details we have, the more we can help you.

  • IPod nano (1st Gen) won't sync with iTunes 7

    I upgraded iTunes to latest version and now when I connect my Nano it does not sync the music. I have 382 tunes on my Nano and it loaded only 25 into the Library - this were all Music Store purchases strangely.
    Any ideas? I'm on XP by they way

    i say that even tho itunes 7 fixed holes in 6 its still totaly CRAP comapared to 5. and ya it half makes sense to put out a new itunes along with a new ipod gen. but still when the millions of ppl with the first gin have so many problems i dont see how apple isnt getting sued for exentialy sabotoging milions of peoples ipod. i mean when u pay at least $200 for something i would think it sould last more then8 months and not only am i having the itunes problems with sync but according to the guy that reinstalled windows on my laptop its itunes that made it crash and i found an article that thousands of other people had the same thing happen so if thats true thats around $500 ($200 for ipod and $300 for windows pro install cd) apple took from me

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

    I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
    After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
    I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
    I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
    Thanks for any Replies

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
