Can't transfer podcasts to iPod nano

I've read several similar problems of being unable to transfer podcasts from iTunes to an iPod nano, but none of them seems to help. I've tried the 5 R's (reset, retry, restart, reinstall and restore) with no success. The latest versions of the iTunes and iPod software have been installed. I've tried all 3 options for transferring podcasts to the iPod (update all automatically, update selected automatically and update manually), and none of them work. The only problem I've noticed is that when I try to set it to manual update and press OK, I get an error message saying (I can't remember the exact words) that it can't be done because I don't have sufficient privileges, but I'm using the Administrator account and besides, the next time I look at Options the correct selection has been made - but the drag and drop method doesn't work in this mode. Is there anything I haven't tried? Is there something wrong with the iPod?

It appears as if I've solved the problem, thanks to a reply to another post (sorry I haven't got time to try and find it). It involved going to the iTunes store and downloading the free download (song) of the week. Unfortunately, it also involved giving my credit card number, which I don't like to do. Anyway, after downloading this song my iPod appeared to have all of the podcasts which were previously only in iTunes. I have no idea why this worked, because it didn't in the post I mentioned.

Can't transfer podcasts to iPod

To my dismay I suddenly find that I can't transfer material from my computer to my iPod nano. I have it set on manual transfer. I haven't changed computers and I have the same iPod, after the latest software update I just can't transfer podcasts from the iTunes list to the iPod by dragging the item to the iPod list in the left column. It shows the + sign but the items don't show up on the iPod. Did the update break iTunes? Anybody know what's wrong here?

How can you transfer photos from iPod Nano to new iMac?

My friend has an ipod nano. Here's a photo, not sure what gen. it is.
He had a PC that no longer works and has no data left on it. His original iPod Photos were stored on that PC that no longer works.
He has since purchased an iMac and is running Lion OS X, all up to date.
The problem: He NO LONGER has the ORIGINAL PHOTOS, only the ones on his iPod Nano, that used to work with his PC, which no longer functions.
He would like to copy the photos stored on his iPod Nano, to his new iMac.
Using finder, he went to Device, then clicked PHOTOS and dragged the folder to his desktop. It said there was 1.43 GB of content.
However, all that was saved to the desktop was (see other photo) Photo Cache, Photo Database and Thumbs. There are no photos at all. What is he doing wrong? Thanks.

There are a number programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

Can't transfer music to iPod nano

How do I download music from portable hard drive to iPod nano. I tried to retrieve my music from iTunes, but its in the portable hard drive and it only shows up thru the cloud. I want to have access all my iTunes while keeping it on portable drive.

Hey Jdog469,
It sounds like the music on your external drive is not yet imported to iTunes:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Import music and video already on your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12493
Once your music is in iTunes, you can then sync the content to your iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Thanks,

yeah i am having the EXACT same problem as you are at the moment!

Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
Hope that helps you out.

Trying to add kgo podcast to ipod nano

tryingtoadd kgo radio podcast to ipod nano using itunes

You can only transfer music and videos through iTunes. If computer/laptop music folders is what you mean of "existing library", then it would not be possible. Add your files first to iTunes then sync.

How can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4

how can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4??

Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content. If you want to transfer the game data as well, perform a backup and restore.

I can no longer sync my iPod Nano.

After installing the latest iTunes update, I can no longer sync my iPod Nano. Windows 7 says that there is no driver installed, whereas there was prior to the update. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit OS and the new iTunes version is 10.5.3.3. Thanks for your help.

Hello Bridgie\'s girl
Try out the 5r’s section to resolve issues with your iPod nano not syncing. A simple restart my fix it or you may need to restore it all together.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

Since I love the Genius-Mixes I'd really like to convert them into a playlist that I can also play on my iPod-Nano. Is there a solution?

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I can't get my 4gig ipod nano to sync or restore settings.

I can't get my 4gig Ipod nano to sync or restore factory settings. My playlist is good and all songs have been checked and work right. I get an error for no disc found when I try to sync up with my songs even when ipod is in disc mode. When I try to restore the settings i get an error 1463 and it won't let me restore. So I am kind of a loss of what to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop? PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps
