Cant Update Ipod Nano

My computer crashed, so I had to restart the whole thing. I resinstalled itunes, but now I cant update my Ipod without erasing all my music from my Ipod first. So do I have to register my Ipod again or something? or can I somehow copy all my music from my Ipod and put it on my itunes first?

nvm I found out by myself

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

    I cant update ipod to I0S5 from Itunes always saying that its timed out, I have tried updating numerous times still no luck

    Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves that error.

    Hi,
    I am sure there would be numerous people who are in the same situation. Being computer illiterate does not help the situation i tell you. Can anyone please help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is everything up to date?

    Also, have you seen and tried this?
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
    Finally, when you connect your iPod to your computer, open My Computer. See if the iPod appears there. If it does...

  • 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

  • Can't update iPod Nano

    When ever I try and update my iPod nano now I get this message, "songs on iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist". Can some please help me. Post here or e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks!

    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.

  • CANNOT UPDATE IPOD NANO

    I have an Ipod Nano and I have songs on my Itunes that my daughter has downloaded previously to her Ipod and I also imported CD's that I want to put on and I keep getting the message that the songs on my Ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist. Can anybody help me? I am going nuts trying to figure this out. Thank you!!

    In iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>iPod (tab) and which is selected of these three?:
    - Automatically update all songs and playlists
    - Manually manage songs and playlists
    - Automatically update selected playlists only
    I'm assuming it's of the latter (Automatically update selected playlists only) but the ones that are checked are not there anymore.

  • HT1494 Had trouble updating ipod nano, followed instructions for resetting it, didn't work the way it said. First, msg saying "do not disconnect", then msg saying "ok to disconnect". I disconnected, now my screen is frozen with "ok" msg...?

    Can anyone tell me how to un-freeze my ipod nano screen. Tried to do a reset as instructed, and now my screen is frozen with the message "ok to disconnect".
    Cant even turn it off now.

  • Updating iPod nano Manually-How do you do it?

    I am trying to update my iPod manually. The instructions say to "Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list", but iPod nano does NOT appear in my Source list. Is this possible and how do I get it to appear, so I can use properly. Thanks

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
    iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date

  • Manually updating ipod nano

    when i click the update button (manually) it doesnt seem to work. A sign tells me it cant read to or from disk.
    I hav no idea wat this means,
    plz help.

    Which update button are you referring to?
    I am not aware of an 'Update Button' in iTunes, do you mean the Update iPod option in the iTunes 'File' menu?

  • Unable to restore or update ipod nano (1st gen)

    hello, I just upgraded to itunes 7 and it told me there is an update to 1.2 for the ipod. I cannot get it to update. as soon as I click update, the "do not disconnect" message disappears from the ipod and eventually it goes to sleep. The computer says "updating ipod." I have left it on all night with no change.
    Things I have tried:
    -the 5 R's (restore ipod didn't work, does the exact same thing as when I try to udate it.)
    -changing the drive letter for the ipod.
    -removing itunes completely for a fresh reinstall.
    Can anyone help?

    I have a similar problem and can't figure out how to
    post a new topic =(
    When I first got my iPod, I put a whole bunch of
    songs on it (not nearly enough to fill it though).
    Then I let my (now ex) boyfriend use it while he
    worked out, and his friend attempted to add more
    songs to it.. which deleted all my songs and replaced
    them with his. Now I have it back and can't figure
    out how to put my songs back on it. I don't really
    want to delete all the songs he put on it, I just
    want to put mine back on but I can't figure out how.
    Please help, anyone?
    hehe the only thing that is similar is that you have a problem too.
    If you go into the options in itunes you can tell it to manually sync your ipod (do this before you plug your ipod in!) Then you can simply drag the songs from your library to your ipod to add them to what is already in your ipod.
    Now to update the problem I posted about: I formatted the ipod from disk manager in winXP and now when I try to restore the ipod, itunes disconnects the ipod, reconnects it, and then does nothing but display a window that it is restoring the ipod. I don't get anything on the screen of my ipod except "Do not disconnect". I am going to try leaving it on all night.
    The only thing different from what was happening before is that now it is reconnecting the ipod to windows after it disconnects it. From reading the instructions, however, I think I should be seeing a progress bar on my ipod.

  • Y..Y..Y, DOES NEW MUSIC APPEAR IN ITUNE BUT I CANT UPDATE IPOD...Y..Y..Y???

    Hello, I've had limewire to download music for several months now and could drag music to itune then update my ipod, but recently the new songs I drag to itune from limewire are seen in my itune and can be played as well but when I try to update ipod the new songs don't appear. Nothing appears to be wrong with the ipod. I've tried resetting it, checking for upgrades both for the ipod and for the itune and nothing seems to work. Is itune now controling what can be updated to ipod. In other words, will the ipod only accept purchased music from itune?? Please help!! I'll appreciate it a lot...THANKS!

    no i still use limewire to get songs and i can put them on to itunes. but what i do is i add the songs that i want to be put on to itunes into the playlist on limewire and save them to like my music folder and then i go on to itunes and click file, add file to libary and then it will be on the libary on itunes

  • 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.
