while the ipod is connected and showing up in the itunes source list, go "edit > preferences" and click on the "ipod" tab.
you will currently have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected. compare the list of playlists beneath that setting with the playlists that are showing up in your sourcelist. if you find any that don't currently exist in the itunes sourcelist, uncheck them.

Can't update ipod nano: errors 1417 and 1428

I bought my 4gb iPOD nano a month or so ago and initially it worked perfectly. For the last week when I plug it in to my PC iTunes detects it and lists what's on it but won't update it or write to it in any way: it variously gives me error numbers 1417 and 1428. Bizzarely I can copy files onto it absolutely fine through Windows. I can't even restore it to factory settings since I can't write anything to it! Help!
Thanks very much
Ian

some people have been having some success with the 1417 using eboncairn's technique:

Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
Thank you

There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

From where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?

Hi everybody!
I searched this on the internet, with google, but i found nothing. So, knows anyone from where can i download iPod nano 2G 1.0.2 version software?
I want to downgrade my Ipod nano only because of white screen.
Thanks!

Hello StanGinger,
itunes does not support downgrading any ipod software, nor does Apple. White screen normally means your ipod has a hardware issue.
Try this:
Apple - Support - iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If that does not work, use this:
Online Service Assistant
Hope this helps.

P.S. I dont know of any place you can download the 1.0.2 software, nor once you get it, how to get it on the iPod.

i want to know if is true if I can change my ipod nano 1 generacion for the new ipod nano in any store?

No, you have to send the iPod into Apple in exchange for a 6G Nano. See this page for more information.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

Can't connect iPod nano since latest iTunes update. Please help :(

Ever since I downloaded the latest versions of iTunes, my 5th gen iPod nano won't connect. I get a pop-up that says, "Could not install hardware" or something to that affect. I switched cables and usb ports, and no change. What should I do?
I was thinking I want to go back to a previous iTunes version, but I have no idea if you can uninstall a version. I've only ever seen tips on uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling the same one.
The best "solution" I've gotten was to buy a new iPod, that I was out of luck and the new iTunes versions obviously don't support older iPods, but I don't think that's right. If it is, Apple has lost a customer forever.
If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate your help.

About one out of every 5 times now my Iphone will sync, the other times it will give one of several errors(see thread above) or it will just stay on the syncing deal forever.
I have not put ANY third party apps on or done anything. Hey Apple, instead of continually putting out updates to turn peoples unlocked phones into bricks, how about addresses some of these syncing issues??
thanks!!

Can you connect ipod nano to more than one pc wiyh no music loss....help!

Hi, I have a iPod nano and I would like to know if you can sync the ipod to more than one pc at a time without loosing all the music on it when you connect to another pc i.e I have a pc at work and one at home and would like to us them both with the same ipod nano to download music...

Yes long as you have it set to manual update. If you started syncing to your home PC, connect it there and rightclick it in itunes, hit options and select "Manual Update" and hit OK.
Now you can connect it to your home and work PC and manually drag and drop songs to it. Now if your buying music on the work PC, you will also want to use windows to add the music files to the iPod, so when you get home you can add these music files to your home PC and make backups

Can't update ipod cause playlist being updated do not exist

I installed my ipod software. Great! Easy to use. Then my computer crashed for other reasons. I got a new computer, installed again, and when I try to update my iPod, iTunes tells me they can't update my songs because the playlists I am updating (I did create a couple on the old computer) are gone.
Now I can't update my iPod cause I got a new computer? HELP!

As long as you still have a backup of the music (on the new computer prefably) try restoring your Nano with Ipod updater. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

Can't update ipod (windows-mac issue)

My mom got a MacBook on sale so this is now what I use for everything; it is faster and more efficient than the PC that we own. On my iTunes, I can do everything exceptupdate my iPod nano. It simply says "Only Macintosh-formatted iPods can be updated." How do I change my Windows-formatted iPod to a Macintosh-formatted iPod?

Are you sure that there is no way to change the
format?
I never said there wasn't a way to change the
format.
To change the format, select it in iTunes on the Mac
and select Restore.
I am having a similar issue with my daughters ipod nano. It was formatted for windows when we bought it (we have the songs on a mac) but it only downloads some of her library not all. Having looked in some of the forums it suggests restoring however when we plug the ipod into the mac the button for restoring the ipod to factory settings is not highlighted. In this case how can the ipod be restored to a mac setting? We are using the latest itunes software and OSX operating system.
