Cant sync or restore my ipod nano..

I Cant sync my ipod, gets an error message saying songs on the nims ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exists.. when i try to retore i still get an error saying unknown erroe 1471 occured. Plz help..

Without more info like the current status of the iPod and what happens when you try to restore:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer                            
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

    Please help i restored my ipod nano and now my wheel will not let me pick songs rasie or lower the volume or even turn it off how do i fix this prob and can it be fixed its a ipod nano gen 4 or 5 i cant remember please help

    Does this video play okay in iTunes?  Have you tried resetting your Nano?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If it plays okay in iTunes, try removing the video from the iPod and resyncing it.

    Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

    I have restored my ipod nano 6th generation and am being told it is now in recovery mode so needs to be restored which is what i have just done. I can't get any further than this. Please help.

    Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
    I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

    I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    Plug it to your computer using iPod USB Cable (any cable should work excluding iPhone 5 and Shuffle cables)...... when you see your iPod in iTunes go to that iPod and click restore...... the whole process should take (depending on what you have on your iPod and its is up to date) it should take no longer than 30 minutes...... then it will ask if you want to set up as new iPod or restore from back-up (itunes back up), since you said:
    so its like new
    click set as new iPod and follow through what they said.

  • HT1711 I restored my Ipod Nano.  I thought I would keep all my songs on my PC.  It seems to have erased most of my downloads.  How do I retrieve?

    I restored my Ipod Nano due to most of the songs crackling or breaking up while playing.  I thought I would keep all my songs on my PC.  It seems to have erased most of my downloads from my PC.  How do I retrieve?

    Restoring your ipod will have no effect on the music stored on your computer.
    If for some reason the music is not on your computer, then use your backup copy of your computer to put it back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can transfer some purchases in some countries:

  • I can't restore my ipod nano 5g

    I can't restore my ipod nano 5g, I follow all the steps of the iTunes program but when the process of restore is finish it starts all over again saying that an Ipod in process of restore is connected and to start using it I have to restore it... I can't use any of the bottoms of the Ipod, but the lock one does work. Please help me; I've proved to update the iTunes, to change the USB port and also to reset the computer, nothing seems to work...

    The folder that you need to delete, iPod Software Updates, should be in this location on your computer:
    C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
    If it is not there, then you may want to try searching for this folder, in case your iTunes/Apple software decided to place its software updates for iPod folder in another location.
    Go to the "START" menu, and select "Search". Select "All files and folders", and make sure that you are searching over your entire drive. Type "ipod software updates" in the blank, and click on OK (or hit Return) to begin searching.
    Any folders of that sort of kind showing up in odd locations, or does your search return nothing?
    Also, by the way, you are getting this exact error message, right?:
    The iPod "[your iPod's name]" could not be updated because the firmware file could not be found.
    If it says something different, then quote what the error message exactly says.

    Hi kumaradevan.g,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue syncing music to your iPod from a specific laptop. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that can help resolve the syncing issue that you described.
    'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring…
