Help with Syncing new iPod Nano 7th Gen

I just bought a new IPod Nano 7th Generation. I set it up on iTunes and was able to sync music to it but was unable to sync photos from iPhoto or Photos (the new beta photo app with Yosemite). When I chose Sync All Photos the only choice was the Pictures folder or other folder, thus only one picture synced. I suspect this has to do with the beta Photos app but not sure. Also my new iPod does not show up in the iTunes list of approved devices. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

You have to shake the Nano again to get it to Shuffle to another song. If you want to shuffle the songs in your playlist, start a song from that playlist and then enable the Shuffle option from the additonal controls that you bring up on the Now Playing screen.

Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.
I have successfully done this in the past.
now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dimitris.

Making new ipod nano 7th gen an exact copy of old ipod nano 5th gen?

I just purchased the new ipod nano 7th gen, I have an ipod nano 5th gen, and I'm wondering if there is a simple way of making the new nano an exact copy of the old one, e.i. all the same content, settings, etc? I read through the manual and couldn't find anything about it. Thanks for any help!

He is right that if you want to copy the content, do it through iTunes. As for the settings, some aren't identical with the 5g. For example, there is no option to edit menus or the main app icons (adding/removing) like in previous iPod nanos. I hope the put this feature back in soon.
Your best bet is to just go through the settings by hand again; there aren't that many. Sorry if this isn't the answer you were hoping for.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

Playlists will not sync onto iPod nano 7th gen

Since the very beginning of iPods, I subscribe to a number of podcasts that refresh in iTunes automatically. Once a day I transfer the "recently added" podcasts to a created playlist for my daily listening. This allows me to cull out music downloads from the pure podcast list. Since "podcasts" have been separated as an app, iTunes made it difficult to accomplish this. With iTunes 12 and my current iPod 7th generation, I can find no tip that will allow me to continue the practice. I want a continuously playing playlist of the most recently downloaded subscribed podcasts that can easily be refreshed and transferred to my iPod nano 7th gen at the end of each day.

There is no Apply button there, until you change something. Until you make a change to a setting on that screen, the button (where the Apply button is located) says Sync.
It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are describing. The Recently Added playlist is a smart playlist. It comes "pre-installed" with iTunes. However, if you right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist, you will see that the two rules for populating it are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks
Genre - is not - Podcast
Therefore, if that is the playlist you are referring to, it intentionally excludes podcast episodes. If you want a new smart playlist that lists podcast episodes downloaded in the last two week, you can start with the Recently Added playlist. Don't modify that playlist. Right-click on it and select Duplicate. Name it (the duplicate) something like "Recently Added Podcasts" (or whatever you want). Right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist. Change the rules so that they are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks <- You can change the number of weeks as desired.
Media Kind - is - Podcast
NOTE: I suggest using Media Kind instead of Genre, because it more accurately identifies items that are podcasts. Something can be a "podcast" without Genre set to Podcast. But everything iTunes shows as a podcast MUST have Media Kind set to Podcast.
That new smart playlist ONLY shows all podcast episodes downloaded in the last two weeks. You can then sync that playlist, if you want them all, or use it as the source to manually update your "daily podfest" playlist, and then select that playlist on the iPod's Podcasts screen (as described in my previous reply).

Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
Happy New Year to you all.

Help me sync my ipod nano 5th gen

My new i tunes purchases will not sync to my i pod nano (5th Gen). I did not have this problem unitl I replaced my laptop. I am thinking it must be some sort of setting on my laptop. My Ipod has plenty of space, its about 14 songs... please help! If someone can call me and walk me through it, that would be awesome!!

Hey there TXann,
It soudns like you have purchases that will not sync over to the iPod Nano 5th gen no matter what you do. I want to recommend running through the iPod 5rs to help troubleshoot the issue here:
iPod nano (5th generation) Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
I suggest trying the sync after each step so as to minimize the amount of troubleshooting you need to do. Here is step one to get you started:
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 is this why I cannot sync my ipod nano 7th GEN

I had no problem when I got my new ipod nano about 2 years ago......notice in the pass few months I cannot sync music to my nano.......do I have to upgrade my macbook to OS 10.6.8? or higher?

Yes you do need to upgrade, and especially Upgrade to the latest version of iTunes on your Mac. And then, as expert User kenichi Watanabe informed another user with that issue,:
"The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar. If it is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar visible. when you connect the iPod (to the same USB port used by your other iPod), does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
If it does not, I would shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub. Start up with only standard keyboard/mouse connected (if normally used). Do this to Reset the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer."
"If the iTunes sidebar is visible, does the iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES? If it does, select it there. The iPod's Summary screen appears to the right. The Restorebutton is there.
If you are able to do the above, click the Restore button. This will erase the iPod's storage, re-install its software, and set it to default settings."

Does the new Ipod Nano (7th gen?) have a Lock?

The older ipods had Lock Buttons. How do I 'lock' or prevent my Nano (7th gen I think) from turning on when I don't want it to.

Press the sleep button on the top. Hold it down if you want to completely shut down the Nano.

Does anyone know the battery life (how many hours)of new ipod nano 7th gen while using bluetooth?

Hoping to find out the battery life of the new nano (7th generation) while using bluetooth. Has anyone found out how many hours the new one gets with BT?
I have the 6th generation nano, and while using bluetooth it only makes about 3 hours before being fully drained.

About 9 hours continuous runtime with BT + music playback in this review at least - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/apple-ipod-nano-seventh-generatio n/P5

Existing Nike+ workouts stored on the Nike website to new iPod nano 7th gen?

Will my existing workouts stored on the Nike website (recorded via Nike+ on my iPhone 4S) be downloaded/added to my new 7th gen. Nano? I wouldn't want to have to start over re: my accumulated data... And I want to be able to see it all on my new 7th gen. Nano (when I get it). Will it all show up there?

No they don't. I tried the same and it did not happen.

Keeping my itunes playlist order after I sync to iPod Nano 7th Gen

So I created a playlist but I am having trouble keeping the order of songs after I sync. I have tried rating them as well but as soon as I sync, Alphabetical order is what I get. Any thoughts?

In iTunes, go to your playlist. On the playlist, click on its column header row at the far left end, above the column with sequential numbers below. That sorts the playlist by playlist order, and you can change the song order by dragging songs around on the list. You may have done this already.
If you sync this playlist to the iPod, it should appear in that order on the iPod.
If it does not, you may not be looking at the playlist on the iPod. If you select the list of All Songs on the iPod, it will be in alphabetical order. Even if you only have one playlist synced to the iPod, the All Songs list is not the playlist. If you select the playlist on the iPod, it should be in playlist order.

HT5470 How can I get the driver for my new ipod nano 7th gen for windows vista?

Recently purchased a Nano 7 to replace my 3rd generation struggling to connect to my windows vista laptop and Im looking for the driver, can anyone help?

The driver you need to connect your device to Windows is installed during the iTunes installation. So if you already have iTunes installed, verify if it is updated. If it's not, then update, If it is already updated download a new .exe file from the Apple page, and reinstall it:

Follow this article before removing iTunes and its components.
Hope this helps!

Ipod nano 7th gen sync issue

I have just bought a new ipod nano 7th gen and am having issues with syncing it to my PC. On my devices the ipod is there and recognised as such, but in iTunes the ipod doesn't exist at all. I have the latest version of iTunes but can't find a way to access the iPod at all - any ideas?
The iPod is recognised on the family laptop (macbook), but not the PC. The issue is that there is some music on the PC that's not on the laptop and so would be helpful to access it via the PC and not just the macbook.

If the video is HD, the resolution is too high for the iPod's screen, so iTunes will not sync the video.
If this is a purchase from the iTunes Store, and you paid for the HD version, you may be entitled to also download the SD version (at no cost), which should sync to the iPod.
FYI - There is a command in iTunes to create a new version of the video, which should sync to iPods
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
However, videos purchased from the iTunes Store (such as movies and TV shows) have copy protection, so that command is disabled.

IPod nano 7th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize Headphones

I have a brand new iPod nano (7th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted or that the headphone jack has dust inside. As i always do on a regular basis with mp3 devices, i cleaned out the jack to be sure
This is what happens:
When music is not playing i hear a crackle pop sound every 2 seconds or so. My headphones are perfectly fine and work with my Samsung galaxy s4 and my old iPod touch, and my brothers iPhone. Just don't work with iPod nano. I have 3 pairs of headphones all which do not work but I do not have the original headphones. they are so uncomfortable and seems unfair to me that apple would have a one size fits al headphone that only works with the device. I do not intend on switching.
When I play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if I let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the iPod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
When I try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iPhone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the iPod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
I have also restored the device in iTunes, and updated with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!
iPod nano

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the nano's headphones jack. It should "click" into place. The fit may be tighter than expected, especially when new. There is a sensor in there, and if the plug is not completely inserted, you may get some sound, but the nano will not "sense" the headphones.
If that is not the problem, you should have the nano looked at under warranty. It should work with any standard headphones. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.
