Having problems coping to my ipod nano 8gb

im trying to copy my tv shows that are in folders on my computer to my ipod in the structure that i have set.
c:/tv shows>Simpsons>>season1>videos....
season2>vidoes....
season3>videos....
season4>videos....
How do i copy the simposns folder onto my ipod so it will stay in the nicely neat structure that i have on my computer already setup. It should be easy but its all new to me as all my other mp3 players never relied off software.
any help would be really appreciated

  • Problems With My New Ipod Nano 8Gb

    Like most got a new ipod Nano 8Gb for Christmas and I had previously installed Itunes and Quicktime to the latest versions. I hooked up the ipod and it was recognized and it said it wanted to update to version 103 which i allowed it to do.
    A bar came up and started going across and I let it go and after 5 minutes it was still going and then after 15 minutes it was still going but I could tell that nothing was happening. (apple if you read these forums how about changing your updates so a percentage is given). I disconnected the player and had to end the task on Itunes to get it to close and then I hooked up the ipod and this time it went into itunes and synced and seemed to copy the 6 albums I had in there.
    I then decided to put a couple more albums on, but when I told it to sync this time the software couldn't find the device and I was given an error. The long and short of this is the device will sync initially and download *Music only* as any of the other checkmarked items will not download, but after the initial syncing anything else added to itunes will not sync or update again.
    I've also noted that anytime you change a setting in the itunes by putting a check mark in the box eg. such as podcasts, movies, outlook and so on the next time the ipod is plugged in none of these items are checked.
    I've come to the conclusion that Apple didn't do much testing on this device and so far i'm not very impressed and will most likely take the product back for a refund. How can Apple expect people to do all these things I've been reading about to try and fix the many problems that seem to plague this new Nano 3rd Gen unit?
    Does anyone from apple read these forums and know what's going on?

    Well i've tried a few things that haven't done anything.
    - 1 reinstalled Itunes but this did nothing to help
    - I tried to restore the unit but got the dreaded 1418 error
    I do have a question though when I plug my ipod in i hear it connect and it shows a USB mass storage device down in the taskbar which i can click on and see that it is the ipod usb device but if I look under My Computer there is nothing in there. So my question is should there be a device in my computer and should I see the device down in the taskbar?

  • Having problems with 4th generation iPod Nano. Desperate.

    I'm having this problem with my 4th generation iPod Nano. Whenever the iPod is connected to iTunes I get message saying "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod “IPOD”. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." However, I have music on the iPod that is purchased through different accounts on different computers (some of which are no longer existent) meaning I can't afford to restore and lose my music. Is there any way I can recover my music without having to restore the iPod?

    sorry, 5th gen. 30gb w video

  • Having problems syncing 1st gen Ipod nano.

    I have a 1st gen Ipod nano (i'm pretty sure it's a 1st gen) that I gave to my mother because I got an Ipod touch. She has her own Itunes accout on her own computer and is trying to connect my old Ipod to her computer/itunes so she can use it and download her music. The problem is the sync function is not working. It will not highlight and stays grey and unable to sync. So can anyone help? I thought I was being nice giving her my Ipod nano for her to use but it's no good is she's stuck with my music and can't put her own on.

    Your mother will have to restore (wipe it out) the iPod Nano.  After doing that, she will be able to sync her own music.

  • IPod Nano 8gb problems with iTunes/iMac

    Bought a brand new iPod Nano 8gb last night. I am trying to use it on an iMac G4 1 gigahertz with OSX 10.4. This computer is not online. I downloaded itunes 7.0.1 from a neighbors computer and installed it on my imac and it seems to work fine. I can hook up the Nano to the iMac with no problem. Itunes recognizes the Nano and seems fine UNTIL I click anywhere in the itunes window woth the Nano plugged in, at which point itunes disappears from my screen. I can relaunch it, but the same thing happens again. Itunes works fine without the Nano plugged in, but not with the Nano.
    I called Apple Support, and was told I HAVE to be online to use both itunes and the new Nano I am online at work on a PC, but don't have internet access at home. I have no desire to download songs online, or do anything else online at home, I just want to be able to put my own existing CD's on my Nano to listen to away from home.
    Any ideas? Do I HAVE to be online to use iTunes 7 and the new Nano?

    I guess I'd better clarify this for my own sake. By "update" are you referring to changing music, folders, artists, etc? In which case, I realize that I would need to update my Nano to reflect any changes I make to my music files. If by "update" you are referring to making a software or firmware change through an internet connection, then I would think this would be a rare occurrence that could be done at a friends computer.
    The Apple "help" person on the phone said that I couldn't even USE my Nano without being online. Period. That the new Nano and new versions of iTunes REQUIRED an internet connection to function properly.
    At the Apple authorized dealer where I bought the Nano, they said there is no need at all to be online, as long as I have the proper versions of everything (OS, iTunes, etc) installed, it should work fine, there is no need for an internet connection. (Unless I want to actually download songs, of course) They have burned a CD for me with the required updates they feel I will need, which I will install later this evening. Hopefully that will work.
    It makes no sense to me that I would be REQUIRED to be connected to the internet in order for the Nano to simply be able to playback songs I have stored on my iMac, as I was told by the Apple help person the phone. He made NO effort to help at all, saying repeatedly that as long as I was not "online" with my iMac, the Nano and iTunes would not work, saying "What part of this don't you understand?"
    Then he hung up.

  • My itunes allows me to download songs but is having difficulty identifying my new Ipod nano. It is not working efficiently enough to power my netflicks through apple tv. Can you help?

    My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • 5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

    5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
    I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

    Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages.  Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part.  If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
    These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out.  This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices.  The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used.  In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
    Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things. 
    I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
    Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

  • Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

    I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

    Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
    I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183

    I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • Having problems trying to install ipod

    I keep running the install disk and it asks to connect the ipod to see if it needs to be formatted. I do this and it says that it is rebooting the ipod...then it says to press the format button again. It will do this a couple times then say that it is having problems conecting to the ipod and to disconnect and re connect the ipod. If i do this it keeps happening...does anyone know how to fix this or what to do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Don't use the CD. Instead download the latest version of the iPod software updater, and install it. Run the updater, connect the iPod when told (but not before), and choose to restore.
    Note: If you do not have iTunes installed you should download iTunes and install it first before attempting the above.

  • Lade-Problem mit ipod Nano 8GB, 4. Gen.

    Mein Ipod nano geht nicht mehr na;
    Beim anschliessen an usb Datacable funkt alles, sobald ich ihn aus dem geladenen Strom nehme,geht er aus und ich krieg ihn nicht mehr an!?!
    Was könnte das sein???
    Danke für die Antwort

    Hello Tine Rico,
    And Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Definitely sounds like your iPod's battery is dead especially if you have left it to charge for such a long period of time. You may want to double check this article first through to make sure you have tried everything.
    [iPod's battery doesn't charge|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44551?viewlocale=en_US]
    You can have Apple replace it for you for a very hefty price, a third party repair company for much less such as [iresq|http://www.iresq.com>, or you can even do it yourself if you wish.
    Or simply look into getting a new iPod if you wish.

  • Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

    I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem.  When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it.  I have done "the five R's" with occasional success.  I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't.  Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all.  In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer.  Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year.  What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!).  For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor.  The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil.  Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

    I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen.  Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano.  I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs.  Not totally broken, but no longer reliable.  I consider my problem solved!    My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem.  I greatly appreciate it! 

  • IPod Nano 8GB -- No Summary Tabs, etc...

    Just bought a new 8GB iPod nano. Apart from the fact that it won't sync (the dreaded "Error -48"), I also can't access the Summary, Music, Podcasts, etc. tabs...
    With my previous iPod, these appeared in a pane on the right hand side of iTunes. Now all I get is a pane asking me for my Apple ID, and password to register the iPod. When I click on the "Continue" button...nothing happens.
    I want to set syncing to Manual, to see if this helps with the -48 problem, but without the Summary tab, I can't.

    ehm i think it's your isp's fault it is taking so long, not the ipod's. =)
