in iTunes on your computer, how do I switch to an Ipod nano from and old ipod that doesn't work any more? It has all the folders and songs I had on my old ipod, but does not recognize my ipod nano and cannot sync with it?

My MacBook Air which is only 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection. To reconnect I have to click on the internet icon on the top bar and click turn wi-fi off. I then have to click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects after a few seconds.

My MacBook Air which is only just over 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.. To resolve it I have to click on the internet icon at the top of the page and then click turn wi-fi off. I then click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects. This resolves it for a while, and then it disconnects and I have to go through the same procedure again. My BT Home hub is fine because my wife's i pad and our phones are all ok. What can the problem be?

Ipod Nano and really old 20 gb Ipod, will they conflict with each other?

Hi. I guess I'm pretty lucky as I won a new Ipod Nano, 8gb. I'm very happy with my old 20 gb first edition Ipod. No issues ever with the old one. I'd like to use the new Nano working out, etc. How will Itunes know I have a new Nano and will it conflict w/my old one? Can I set playlists for just the Nano? Can I watch videos on a Nano? Any help would be great on features, do's/don'ts, etc. Thank you for the time.

Hello Litodeck,
Since there is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced to one library and iTunes account, you should have no problems hooking up the new nano. As to how you want to manage each iPod depends. There are number of different possibilities here. I think for the best help and information regarding these methods, I would check out this Apple support document.
[How to use multiple iPods with one computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495]
As to watching movies on your iPod, yes, you can. You will either have to import videos of your own or purchase them from the iTunes store. On top of that, you will also have to set your iPod up to sync videos from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP - ipod nano

I cannot get my ipod nano to work. I just got it and im not particularly good with technology but im sure it shouldnt be this hard. When i turn it on i get the folder with exclaimation mark msg - so as the website says i tried to restore it to factory settings. BUT when i do this on my computer, it comes up with "Update version invalid" what is this? I have itunes 7 (the new one??). I'm so confused, can anyone help? a step-by-step guide would be MUCH appreciated but any input would be great.

The iPod is designed to sync to one computer as it copies the music to a special file for the iPod OS and software to play.
You can enable "disk mode" and use that to transfer any file back and forth, but the iPod won't play music files stored in the "disk mode" portion you set in iTunes Preferences with the ipod plugged in.
Basically the software you used to transfer the music out of the "special file" back into iTunes is not authorized, it's a "hack". So Apple routinely disables the hacks because of agreements to protect the music from piracy.
Another thing is the music you got from your friend may indeed by ACC/"Fairplay" copy protected music bought from the iTunes Music Store, unless your computer is one of the five authorized, it won't play.
Also because you hooked your iPod to your friends PC, the "ownership" might have changed and Apple may have employed something that your iPod is no longer recognized as yours.
What you probably have to do is use the iPod software to "reset" your iPod, clear out everything in the process and just hook it to your computer.
If you want to transfer uncopy protected, non-copy righted "free" music to your computer from another computer, enable the iPod's "disk mode" and set a size to balance between the music in your "special file" and the needs of what you intend to transfer.
Once you get home, transfer the music files into your iTunes, then you can copy them to the "special file" so the iPod can play them.
It's a bit complicated, but's it's designed to prevent mass theft of music (so the artists will provide their music online) and keep the benefit of syncing/playlists in line.

Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
How do I fix this problem?

That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

I have a 4 GB Ipod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I leet the anti-virus on my old PC with the iTunes lapse and I think I managed to attract a virus. If I plug my iPod Nano into this old PC, can it also become infested with a virus?

I have a 4GB iPod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again. I let the anti-virus softwarer lapse on my old PC, the one with my iTunes library on it. Can my iTunes library become affected with this virus?
I have tried to fully charge the iPod but the message screen only displays ""Use iTunes to restore"
Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

Hello Mike,
No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus. As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks
-Alex

HELP, Ipod nano 4 GB v 1.2 not visible in itunes v7.02.16

I did the update for Itunes v7.02.16 and after this my ipod nano 4 GB firmware v1.2 was not visible in itunes but in de windows explorer it was shown. I was more then a hour on the phone with a support guy, with the result (his opinion) that it was a hardware problem. His advice was updating the usb driver. I did, but the problems was not solved. I did the same install on 2 other computer and all gave the same problems, I've tried all the solutions on the faq etc, the 5 R's etc.
A strange thing is that de diagnostic in Itunes tells me all the information about the connectec ipod, it shows the serial nummer. name, busspeed, firmware etc.
WHO can help, my mind is empty.

I am having a similar problem. However, I have not updated my USB drive. How did you do that?
For the support guy (or gal)...I have an iPod nano 2 GB and when I plug it into my USB port (I have 2 ports and have tried both) iTunes opens but doesn't recognize that my iPod is connected. When I run iPod diagnostics through iTunes it says iPod Connection Status-Failed, even though it is connected. I cannot sync my iPod via iTunes. I have tried numerous troubleshooters on the apple.com support website without any success (reinstalling iTunes, etc.) I took it to an Apple store this weekend and when they hooked my iPod up with my cable, their Mac recognized my iPod. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Help: iPod nano 7th gen not syncing with iTunes or Windows XP.

Please help !
When we connected and followed the steps the first time, it worked perfect. But after we uploaded some CDs and tried to reconnect the PC does not see the iPod nano at all. not even on Device manager.

Hey VandanaR,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are unable to sync your iPod because it is not connecting to iTunes. If you are experiencing this issue on a Windows computer, you can follow the applicable article from this resource:

HELP ipod nano 4g vs computer softwear issue??

Please HELP?
I have brought a ipod nano 4g,totally new to it,my son down loads itunes for me but uses his apple iphone..so i plug in the nano a day later but my computer thinks the nano is a usb storage device and itunes dont even know its there,being new to apple im clue less on how to use it,the nano its self plays the 2 songs that came on it and the video and appears to work fine,any help would be greatfull,oh i reset the nano that didnt change any thing,i also deleted and re installed itunes too but when reinstalled it come up with my sons settings.

I only have one other iPod, my G1 Shuffle. So, as for what else to do, I am at a loss. I would try to update the iPod's firmware, but I need a broadband connection to the web to do it, which I don't have.
Can you still explain why there would be a distinctive difference in the quality of the sound between the two stereos, vs. just using the 1/8" earphone connection with the line-in on the back of each stereo (or with a pair of speakers)? I could just use my folding speakers, (since I can adjust volume and everything else entirely from the iPod)... but that sort of defeats the reason why I have docks in the first place.

PLEASE! BATTERY HELP IPOD NANO

Please help me, i have just recieved my ipod nano about 2-3 weeks ago and i love it, but the battery last alot less than 14 hours. It is about half empty after only a hour or so of playing music only. I always put the hold on and use a short backlight and dont play games but i still cant figure out why the battery will not last 14 hours.

The battery indicator can get out of sync and be visually inaccurate. There is a specific battery test to follow to determine if your battery is faulty and worthy of replacement by Apple.
Here's a whole section on iPod battery information. --> http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/power/
In addition here's a link also on the the above page to a specific document about the Battery Status indicator --> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61475
