Sync from vista to nano

All of a sudden I cannot sync my iTunes with my nano from my vista computer help needed

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Mac formatted iPods can only be used on a PC that has a third party helper program such as XPlay or MacDrive installed: How to determine your iPod's disk format
Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore the iPod on the PC which will change the formatting. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac. I've no experience of the iPhone or the Touch but Apple has until now only fully supported using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows. XPlay and MacDrive for instance get good reviews. XPlay is an iPod specific program and can be used as an iTunes alternative, MacDrive is more general and lets you access various types of Mac formatted drives on Windows such as CDs, DVDs, hard drives etc:
XPlay 2

No photo sync from Vista 64 Home

I just moved my PC from an old, creaking XP system to a new Vista-64 Home system (no choice, unfortunately, if I wanted to upgrade). iTunes (all versions up to 8.1.1.10) synced flawlessly and automatically with my AppleTV on XP. After days of trying to sync with iTunes 8.1.1.10 on the Vista machine, I finally reset the AppleTV and it showed up on Vista iTunes. But the "syncing" message showed up forever with nothing transferring. Tried it again and voila! all my music and movies transferred ... but the photos did not. Tried again, same result. When I try to sync photos it just goes into an infinite "syncing" message loop and nothing actually downloads. I have sync photos selected and the correct directory chosen (and I have verified that the directory is filled with photos). The result is the same with ATV S/W vsns. 1.0 and 2.3.1. Space is not an issue ... there are 126GB free on the ATV. Any ideas on how to get the photos downloaded?

OK this should NOT be this hard. I too am having difficulties with Photo sync. I get the eternal loop of syncing and it does not ever get to the point hwere it copies the photos. IU have seen similar issues from other users but no detail of how to fully resolve this and this lead seemed to disappear with no follow up to any resolutions.
I have installed the 64 bit version of itunes after accidently installing the 32 bit version. I did remove the 32 bit and then install the 64 bit.
I found detail on moving the photos to a public folder which I also did. This has not solved the issue.
The only other piece of information I saw was on removing the ipod photo cache file in the parent directory of photos however I could not fin this file (unless it is hidden of course).
So I am a very frustrated new vista user who has spent the last 24 hours trying to find a fix for this.
Perhaps I should have gone mac

HT1382 how can I sync music from a iPOD Nano Generation 4 to an iPhone 5?

I have just bought my first iPhone. I went with the iPhone 5. I also have an older iPod Nano that I have had for several years. Almost all of my music is located on the iPod and only the songs I have purchased through iTunes Store are showing up on my iTunes account. How can I get the music files to sync from the iPod Nano to the iPhone 5? I have already set up iCloud on my iPhone 5 but I don't think that will help me with getting the music from the iPod Nano to the iPhone 5. Thank you

There is no supported way to transfer library content synced to an iDevice to another iDevice. You also cannot sync library content from an iDevice to a different iTunes library. Content transfer is from the itunes library on the computer to the iDevice.
The one exception is purchased content (from the iTunes store), which can be transferred to the computer by selecting the "Transfer Purchases" menu option with hte device connected to the computer.
The only resolution I could offer, is that you "Could" (assuming you still have the original computer with the content) transfer the music via homesharing or another method listed in the following KB article:

I upgraded my computer from vista to windows 7, losing my itunes library in the process - how can I sync my current itunes with my ipod?

I upgraded my computer system from vista to windows 7 losing my authorized itunes in the process - I cannot sync my ipod now without losing everything on it. Is there a solution for this?

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

When trying to set up automatic syncing , on my iPod Nano, I get a notice that I am synced to another unknown computer. How do I get unsynced from this other computer ? Have I been hacked ?

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

HT1535 I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.

I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod. Help!

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that i sync from my mac. The problem is, it stops at the end of each CD. How can I get it to continue on to the hanks, Wendy

I use my new nano (7th gen) to listen to books on CD that I sync from my Mac. The problem is that it stops at the end of each CD (very annoying). How can I get it to continue on the the next CD? Thanks, Wendy

Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones? You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack. Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage. You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

How do I transfer or sync music from a Ipod Nano to a new computer?

I have a new computer and have installed ITunes on it. An existing Ipod Nano has my music files. How do I sync or transfer the music from the Nano, so I can use those files on my Iphone?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod Nano. And here is a guide about how to sync music from iPod nano back to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Insufficient capacity on 3rd generation Nano to allow auto syncing from iTunes

I have an iPod 3rd generation that has been restored. I have 7.3GB space available. Will not sync from iTunes because not enough space is available on iPod. iTunes has 21.0 Gb total amt of music only stored. At this time there is no music on iPod. I anticipate 2 solutions neither of which I have tried; (1) manually drag each song from iTunes to iPod, or (2) deselect songs to be synced until I reach a total of 7.3 Gb. Is there anyother solution?

Hello marion60
You can do one of two things to get those purchased songs to your new iTunes library. The first is to navigate to the iTunes Store on your MacBook and then click on Purchased in the Quick Links section. Once there you will have a list of all purchased items that were made with that account and can download those tracks again. The second things you can do is plug in your iPod nano and then go to the drop down menu File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

Why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? I have just switched from Vista to Windows 7.

I 'upgraded' from Vista to Windows 7 and now iTunes won't recognize my phone or iPad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes; I have gone into device manager to check that the drivers for the phone are up-to-date and, apparently, they are. Still nothing. HELP! please....

Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.
