Issues with New Ipod 3rd Gen Nano!! Please help!!

HELP!!!
I bought a new IPOD Nano for Xmas and it doesn't appear to be working.
It automatically syncs once then appears to completely disconnect, so when you then try to "apply" new settings or re-sync it fails.
I checked on "My Computer" and for the first few mins it appears as an external drive, then once again completely disappears.
This means I can't change any settings on how I want my IPOD to sync., for example adding new films that were previously unchecked...
Hope this makes sense!!
Has anyone else had any issues like this? Is there an easy way of solving this?
I've tried updating the software (which now says is uptodate) and resetting the factory settings.
I'd appreciate all the help I can get on this

Loading songs on ipod 3rd gen nano without itunes

is there a way to get songs onto the new Ipod 3rd gen nano 8GB without using Itunes? I have tried Xplay 2.3.5 and the playlist is all messed up. It would show all the songs in my hard drive on every single playlist created, even the On-the-Go list. I would hate to use Anapod because of they limited activation status. Itune is slow, and too restrictive for me. I hate itune with a passion. So does anyone know a way to get songs onto this ipod properly with Xplay or another good program? I have tried everything i know and I am able to throw this thing against the wall. thank you in advance!

I feel your pain. I have been fighting iTunes and QuickTime for 2 weeks trying to get it so that it does not interrupt my wireless USB connection when ejecting the Nano. A simple solution would be to use another program to manage the syncing of stuff to the iPod.

Ipod 3rd gen nano syncing problems.

My nano 3rd gen is fine, but when I plug it into Itunes, it says it's syncing, but on the ipod, it shows connected, but it was done syncing, and Itunes apparently can't finish syncing, even though the ipod shows completion. I can't add any songs either. Please assist me in this matter.

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

Ipod 3rd Gen Nano Skipping?

So I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Nano. I only used it once for a couple weeks about two years ago, I erased all the music off of it and put it back in it's case never to see the light of day until a couple of days ago. I decided to bring it back out of it's factory case, and while it's an older model, it's still in pristine condition. I plugged it into the computer and had a couple of problems trying to install the most update ipod software onto the Nano, but evenually I got it on there. I uploaded about 60 songs and took it to the park the first song played fine then all of a sudden it begins to cut off in the middle of songs and skips completely over others. It does this for ALL songs, indescriminately it seems. I've tried quite a bit of different things...
-Deleting & Reuploading the songs onto the Ipod
-Deleting & Reuploading the songs into Itunes and then onto the Ipod
-Converting the files into AAC copies
-Automatically allowing files over 128bps to convert to AAC
-Multiple Restores
-Ensuring I have the latest updated software
-Uploading songs and doing restores on itunes from different computers with different operating systems (I tried all of this on Windows 8 as well as Windows XP)
I don't know what the deal is? It's flash software so it shouldn't have hard disk-like problems. What gives?

I don't make duplicates when I have this problem. I uncheck the song in iTunes, connect the iPod. This takes the songs off of the iPod. Then I disconnect the iPod. Check the songs in iTunes, then reconnect the iPod. This put the songs back on the iPod.
It usually works, but my iPod has been messing up so much lately that I've had to do a factory restore and when the songs get put back on the iPod a ton of different songs are skipping. It's driving me crazy.

Updating Ipod 3rd gen nano without itunes

I am trying to update the nano to V1.0.1. I have seen a 57MB v.1.0.1 of the new nano in articles, but when I go to the apple site, all i see is a link to download itunes. I do not want to install itunes for the only purpose of updating the nano. is there way to download just the update: iPod Nano (3rd Generation) software updated to v1.0.1.

This is becoming a bigger and bigger deal as we get updates with NEW bugs. We need Apple to do one of two things:
1) Offer a LIST of updates (old/new) to restore in iTunes
2) Offer a standalone updater (preferable) like I used to use with my Mini

IPOD 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes on firewire but it does on USB

Hi,
I have a 3rd gen Ipod (the one with the buttons) since its release date.
It worked perfectly with FIREWIRE.
Months ago i restore it and now it's a mess.
I have to connect it via USB to sync it with my itunes library, to
delete music, to add new one, or use it as a hard disk. But,
the battery doesn't charge (actually the battery now only lasts for 1 hour)
If i want to charge the battery i have to connect the ipod to the computer
via FIREWIRE, but it doesn't get recognized by itunes, so i cant update
it.
I wanted to restore the ipod but if i connect it via USB, itunes send me a message
that i have to connect it via firewire in order to restore it. But if I connect it
via FIREWIRE i can't restore it because ITUNES doesn't recognize it.
I hope someone can help me.
thanks a lot

Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen). However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod. When I try it crashes Outlook. iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!). I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it? (HELP!)

Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

Do you clean your iPad screen? Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended. There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

- Have you tried disabling Avast and Spybot?
- Have yu tried everthing here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- Do you have another computer to try to help determine if it is a computer or iPod problem?
- The Nano uses a different iOS so it not a good comparison.
