Ahh, my new iPod Nano automatically ejects and disconnects itself, Help!

I brought a iPod Nano just a few days ago, and when I got home I managed to Sync a bunch of songs onto it. However, now when I try to sync movies, music, pictures, whatever onto it, the iPod ejects itself before I have to chance to do anything!
I've tried re-installing iTunes, it didn't seem to change anything.
I have tried updating the iPod software, but it doesn't work.
Also I have read other tips from other people who have had the same problem. Nothing they have suggested has worked.
Help!

I'm having a similar and very frustrating problem. I originally synced my new iPod nano onto my MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.5.1), and had no problems. The frustrations began when I tried to transfer a few files from my old Windows computer; a window popped up and indicates that I have to reformat my iPod before it can be used (even when just transferring files).
Now, when I go to use it on my MacBook Pro, the iPod momentarily connects itself but then ejects itself almost immediately. The computer won't seem to read that it's connected and the iPod reverts to charging itself (it's fully charged).
I reset my iPod, I reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, I restarted my computer, I restored my iPod to its original settings... nothing seems to help at all.
Why is this happening???

    Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
    Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

    Thanks for all help =)
    Thanks if you reply!

    How exactly is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options do you have selected/enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs for the iPod in iTunes.  To access the Summary tab, plug the iPod in and select it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.  To move onto the Music tab, select the Music tab along the top part of the window.
    As for the grayed out tracks, there may have been an issue during the sync process.  The best thing to do is remove all the music from your iPod and resync it.

  • Ipod touch randomly connects and disconnects? help please!

    Agh! I'm so frustrated! So basically, I'll plug in my ipod touch via USB 2.0 cable, and it on the screen the battery icon will come up like normal, then all of the sudden it will turn to my wallpaper like its not connected, then back to the battery and switch back and forth randomly! I've tried two different USB cables now and I get the same result with both! I know they work because my ipod charges fine with my AC wall charger thing. The next strange thing is the fact that whenever I plug in the ipod and it stays with the battery icon for a little while, a windows thing prompts that I have plugged in a camera, and asks what I want to do with it? I always just say cancel. Also if it switches from connect to disconnect long enough iTunes will come up with an error message saying something like "The iPhone "" could not connect... blah blah blah. (error code something similar to Ex80000035 i think.)" I haven't had trouble syncing in the past! It just started doing this out of the blue and all I want is to put some new music on my iPod!
    Things I have already tried numerous times...
    -uninstalling ALL things apple related on the computer and reinstalling.
    -resetting ipod
    -restarting computer
    -using different USB cords
    -using different USB ports
    Please help! I really don't want to go back to the Apple store. Please and thanks! (Oh, and in case it matters, I have firmware 2.2, and the latest iTunes)

    Hello,
    A couple of items...
    It's possible that a cable can charge an iPod on a wall charger wonderfully, but not sync the iPod to the computer. One of mine are in that "half-broken" stage, so I just ended up leaving it in the system I use to connect my iPod to my television.
    Regarding the error you're receiving when connecting the iPod... is the iPod jailbroken? If not, try creating a new user account on your computer and connecting the iPod there.
    Creating a new user in Windows XP:
    1. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts
    2. Click on "Create new user"
    3. Follow the prompts to create a new computer administrator
    4. Restart the PC and log in to the new account
    I know you've already uninstalled and reinstalled Apple software, but this recommendation doesn't hurt. Open your Control Panel and go into Add or Remove Programs. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes. Then, open up My Computer, go to your hard drive, and open up the folder called Program Files. If you see a folder called Apple Mobile Device Support, delete it. Then, restart your computer, download a new copy of the iTunes installer from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and go through the installation.

  • I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano and I need to update my OS! How do I do this?

    I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!

    Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
    Then buy DVD for that version.

  • New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

    I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

    I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

  • Can I update older Mac Mini to support new IPOD Nano?

    I have a non-Intel based Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3.  Purchased a new IPOD Nano for Christmas and now find that I need to install iTunes 10.7 to use the new IPOD.  Is there a way I can upgrade my Mac OS so I can get iTunes 10.7 or change the IPOD to work with iTunes 10.6.3?
    Seems my options may be to 1) return the IPOD Nano or 2) buy a new Mac to support the new IPOD. 
    Appreciate any tips!
    Thanks!

    I'm not aware of a workaround for your current system. You can still buy 6th generation iPod Nano's on Amazon.com, and other vendors may still have them too. They require OS X 10.5.8 to sync. Of course, it may be a good excuse to upgrade your system too

  • Itunes/ computer will not recognize new ipod nano

  • My iTunes won't recognize my new iPod nano 5th generation

    Alright, my parents got my the new iPod nano for Christmas, and when I connected it to my Windows Vista, to charge and sync, it was charged, but it was not recognized in iTunes. I tried updating and the 5R's but it wouldn't work. iTunes is acting like it doesn't exist. Help?

    I had a similar issue with a XP machine. The Nano charged but I never got the onscreen setup instructions and Itunes did not list the device. I tried a lot of technical stuff with no luck and finally spoke with an Apple Expert.
    Here was the fix for me:
    I downloaded Itunes to another computer (also XP, same firewall, etc). Plugged in the Nano and miraculously I was able to set it up, name the device and also update it with the latest software. When I plugged it back into the PC it recognized it just fine. Must be something flukey with the setup or maybe the update helped fix a few bugs.
    If you have other computers available, try it on them first with latest Itunes version. Hope this helps.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • New IPOD Nano will not sync.  iTunes recognizes it, I think.  It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

    I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas.  Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
    However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it.  It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
    I have reset, I have toggled security on and off.  I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

    I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
    First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
    As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
    Good  luck!
