Hooking up a NEW Nano (3rd Gen)

Hello All,
I recently got an Ipod Nano. Hooked it up to my Vista machine and it worked great for about 1 week. Then had issues, anyway ended up returning the Nano and getting a new one...same 8 gig model. Anyway, how do I go about hooking up that new Nano to my old Nano Itunes settings?
thx
Marcus

Plug that iPod in and go through the iPod Setup Assistant.

My computer doesn't recognize my new Nano 3rd Gen

Please HELP!!! I have a new nano 8gb and I am unable to load my tunes into it. My PC doesn't recognize it and I don't know how to add another device ( i have 2 registered to the account) Please help, my beautiful new IPOD Nano is a paper weight!!
scazz

My PC Shuts Down When I Plug In My New IPod Nano 3rd Gen.

The title of this post pretty much says it all. Got me my new iPod Nano 3rd gen. yesterday. Brought it home, booted up the puter, loaded iTunes and plugged that sucker in. Well first iTunes kindly instructed me that I would have to download it's newest software, which I did.
Then soon afterwards when I thought i was set, I plugged in my new 3rd gen iPod Nano to the pc and as soon as I did that my pc shut down completely, and restarted. Shut down is putting it mildly, I mean it just went 'kablink" and then was restarting.
I tried uninstalling iTunes, cleaning my temp folder, my internet cache, then reinstalling iTunes anew, still nada. All to no avail, people, because each and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, no sooner than i do this my pc summarily goes "kablink" on me and starts booting up again.
NOW I STILL have my iPod Nano 2nd gen, and it works fine, even with the newest iTunes software, it doesn't screw up my pc like the new 3rd gen iPod Nano does.
Now I am to conclude that the problem lies in the 3rd gen iPod itself. How could it not? My iPod Nano 2nd gen works absolutely fine, and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, I shut down in a flash withtout fail. Anyone of you have this error? I would love to know short of calling iTunes tech support about what to do about this, this is a MAJOR bummer for sure. Now I have to be concerened about whether or not I am ever going to get this thing to work now.
Is the iPod broken? If not why the shutdowns then? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

Plug it to your computer using iPod USB Cable (any cable should work excluding iPhone 5 and Shuffle cables)...... when you see your iPod in iTunes go to that iPod and click restore...... the whole process should take (depending on what you have on your iPod and its is up to date) it should take no longer than 30 minutes...... then it will ask if you want to set up as new iPod or restore from back-up (itunes back up), since you said:
so its like new
click set as new iPod and follow through what they said.

Will my computer read my new ipod nano 3rd gen?

i just bought a new ipod nano 3rd gen from circuit city before i opened it i looked on the back and saw system requirments it says nothing about being compatible with windows xp media center edition and i have windows XP media center edition 2002 sp2. will the ipod nano 3rd gen work with my computer?

Yes it will work fine. iTunes just needs XP and doesn't really care what sort of crazy version that came with whatever computer you bought. It is still just XP maybe configured or a little more specifically.

p.s. This is a Tablet laptop I assume?

Hi there,
I'd suggest first resetting the iPod (check the online manual for that) and then restoring the latest software using iTunes.
Good luck!

IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
Thanks,

IPod Nano 3rd Gen Issues: would be grateful for any help

Dear all,
I recently purchased an iPod Nano 3rd Gen for my wife. I have been using a mac for 7 years, still have my first iPod 5GB scroll wheel as well as a 60 GB iPod video 5.5 Gen.
Here's what's happening.
iPod Nano connected via dock (which is in a USB hub...could that cause problems?)
Connect, sync, no worries.
Update iPod Nano software to 1.0.2.
iPod then, halfway through syncing, flashes the Apple Logo every 6-7 secs and then does the same again.
It is not recognised in iTunes like that.
Any help?
A hopeful Dan

Hi,
Same thing just happened to me - I have put the Nano 3G into disk mode (hold Menu and Select for 10 seconds then immediately hold Play/Pause and Select).
Just doing a factory restore now, that should bring it back to a brand new state and will try again from there.

Nano 3rd GEN & Apple Universal Dock

Hi! I've just bought a nano 3rd GEN and a Apple Universal Dock. I've a probleme with the compatibility of these two devices. When I'm connecting the nano with the Universal Dock, there is only one channel (the right channel) whitch works.
I've try a nano 2sd GEN and it works very well. Do you think the nano 3rd GEN isn't compatible withe the Apple Universal Dock ?

I am almost positive it is the way in which the iPod is sitting in the dock, or the way the 1/8" stereo-phono plug is connected at the back (but as you mention, prior iPods work with both channels, it is likely not that issue). On the Apple dock connecter there are the 3 pins for audio, Left, Right, and common/ground. If you only have common/left connected, you will only hear left-side audio.
I have had this happen to me also when using my iPhone in a non-iPhone dock, or my 2G nano in my iPhone dock. If I am able to press down on the right side of my 2G nano sometimes, it connects and intermittently disconnects audio from one of the channels.
I would try to remove the plastic "widget" that came with the nano, and attempt to gently seat the new 3G nano in situ in the dock, and I bet the problem becomes either intermittent, or solved all-together.
I have had almost identical issues with numerous iPods.

HT1447 Plugging in my Nano 3rd gen into iTunes 11.1 on OSX 10.8.5 causes iTunes to beachball.

I've restored the iPod with iTunes 11.0.5 on my Macbook, and iTunes 11.1 still freezes/does not recognize the iPod. Help! Is the iPod nano 3rd gen still supported by Apple?

I finally let iTunes have time with the nano and it eventually popped up the following window:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "<name>".
Go to the Summart tab in iPod prferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
Then iTunes beachballs again.. then eventually shows me the restore screen. I restore and after the nano reboots.. iTunes once again beachballs and eventually shows the Welcome to your new ipod sceen. It starts to sync, then eventually errors out with The iPod "<name>" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54).
It's almost like there's something blocking the hardware from mounting or something. This doesn;t happen on any iPad's or iPhones. Disk use is enabled, but I cannot turn it off. I wish I could as maybe that would help.

Nano 3rd gen and itunes 8.0.1

My ipod nano 3rd gen will not sync with itunes now that we have downloaded the latest version 8.0.1. Itunes locks up immediately upon recognizing my ipod and closes upon clearing the error message (systems error upon opening itunes). Originally I was unable to open Itunes all together, but after going through the support programs and following the instructions of removing one of the SDDb files, Itunes was at least opening. Unfortunately I am unable to do anything with my nano when it is connected to the computer or when I try and connect it after opening Itunes. Itunes open if there my nano is not connected to it.
I am completely at a lose. Please offer some advice.
cheers,

So, to bring closure - and possibly help someone else with the same question - I'll answer my own question.
The new 3rd Gen Nano arrived today. I just decided to install iTunes on the new computer and connect the new Nano to that computer. I was prompted to name the Nano and I was able to log into my existing iTunes account and purchase music. I was not able to transfer those purchases to the Nano - got an authorization error. I needed to authorize the new computer and then I was all set.
It turned out there was already a 2nd authorized computer on the account (my laptop which I had forgotten about). I was surprised that when I connected the new Nano to that laptop, it was recognized without question - and without affecting the old Nano that had been previously docked to the laptop.
My only problem was downloading a podcast that I subscribe to (Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy). I tried downloading the last 4 or 5 podcasts on the new computer - but, kept getting a network timeout error. I tried on the laptop and got the same errors. I knew that these had been previously downloaded to the old desktop. So, I updated that to the latest version of iTunes and was able to get those podcasts onto my new Nano.
So, the bottom line is this turned out to be a no-brainer. Was worried for nothing.

The volume in my ipod nano 3rd gen goes up and down on its own

I notice lately my nano 3rd gen adjust its volume on its own! Also the clicky wheel doesn't work some of the time.
I've tried resetting it and syncing it with my pc but it did not help.
Should I bring this in the store to fix???

Upeace, it's so long ago I can't remember now… But I do know that my newer MBP's volume can be affected by someone tinkering with the Apple TV remote. Is that a possibility? If so you can turn this off in System Preferences. It's not at all easy to find though—you have to go into 'Security Privacy > Firewall > Advanced' and then tick 'Disable remote control infrared receiver'.

My ipod nano 3rd gen gets error code -9459 when I try to convert a video in Itunes

I'm tring to convert video from Youtube to play on my ipod nano 3rd gen. When i go to itunes and Advanced and set it to convert for ipod it goes on for quite a while then about 3/4 way done I get error message Erroe occurred converting file "teapot 1". An unknown error (-9459)
What do I do? I tried Real player converter too - no luck.

I'm not sure about the error message, but it might just be easier to use an application such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to create an iPod compatible version of the video.

Ipod nano 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes or windows 7

USB device not recognized.
things I have done
put Ipod in disk mode still didn't recognized
My Ipod Classic 6th Gen works fine
It shows 3 Mass Storage Device
when I plug in Ipod nano 3rd gen it shows unknow device
have deleted Mass storage devices and Apple Moble Devices
unpluged computer from wall
nothing solving problem
I also tried it on my laptop its not being recognized
my wife Ipod nano is doing the same thing as mine
its got to be the software download from itunes because it has worked on all previous versions.

I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...
