How to sync existing itunes to new nano

just bought a new ipod nano MD477LL/A.  I've followed all the directions to sync this ipod to my itunes library.  Ipod shows that it is syncing, then when I disconnect, the songs never make it to the ipod. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Go to "music"in your ipod menu then make sure that "sync music" is selected. If not, do accordingly the perform the sync again. Cheers!

    Hey HalSF,
    iTunes allows you to sync music with your devices in several different ways, including by playlist. See the iPhone user manual for how to -

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • HT1329 how to sync ipod to a new computer when your old computer is dead

    how to sync ipod to a new computer when your old computer is dead

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

  • IPod Nano won't sync with iTunes on new laptop

    When I first got my new laptop about a month ago I did the 'homesharing' technique to be able to use my iTunes on it, it worked successfully up until I tried to purchase new music from the iTunes Store & upload music into my Library from my laptop.. It just wouldn't sync onto my Nano! Every time I clicked the Sync tab nothing would happen even though the music had all been purchased/uploaded perfectly fine. I had ofcourse made sure my iTunes was 'activated' onto my new laptop, etc etc & when I went onto my old laptop to try it on there all the music DID sync onto my Nano.
    Since then I've re-installed iTunes several times even copied my full iTunes folder onto an external USB stick & transferred it that way & still my Nano will not sync with my iTunes! The new iTunes isn't helping much either as I find it quite confusing to work out as it's totally different. But yeah even with the new iTunes upgrade my Nano still won't sync.
    I'm at a loss, I've no idea what the problem is! Can anyone help?

  • HT1386 I have an 80GB iPod that was purchased in 2007 and I cannot figure out how to sync it using the "newer" iTunes format.  Can anyone help?

    I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it.  The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear.  Any suggestions?  I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.

    If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help.  I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.

  • Ipod nano does not sync with itunes library, ipod nano does not sync with itunes library

    bought an ipod nano, upgraded Itunes to version 11 running on Windows 8.
    My nano is set  up with a different apple ID than my main account, but it won't sync with my Itunes Library, When I plug it in via USB, the IPOD nano icon shows up in Itunes, but when I do File>Devices>Sync,  the Snyc is grayed out.
    does the differenct apple ID on the nano have anything to do with the fact that it is different from my Itunes Apple ID, is that causing a problem? Most of the music in my library is uploads from CDs I had already owned, not Itunes purchases. 
    Solutions?

    Automatic syncing is set up on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, which is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits on iPod.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example (if you want to keep it simple), you can create a new playlist in iTunes and add all songs you want on the iPod to that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.  There are many ways to set it up...
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs syncs to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create that playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs) whenever you want, and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

  • How do I use iTunes with new iPod

    I have my own video iPod, and use iTunes without a problem.
    However, I bought a refurbished iPod for a relative, and am now trying to download music onto this new iPod. When I go into my iTunes with the new iPod connected to my computer, I can't get the new iPod to show up on the task bar -- so I can't download music onto it.
    Do I have to create a separate account for this new iPod, or somehow download iTunes again for this new iPod in order to get music onto it???
    Thanks.

    Using a second iPod is normally just a question of connecting it to your computer choosing how you want to update it and using your existing iTunes. You don't need a separate Windows account unless two users want to use the one computer and maintain separate libraries. You don't need two instances of iTunes for separate accounts. Have you had look at either of these troubleshooting pages?

  • Transfer ringtones not synced with itunes to new phone

    I have an iPhone 4s that has ringtones on it. They have not been synced with iTunes and don't show up in the Tones Library when I sync. When I look at the sync options in iTunes and select Sync Tones, I get a message "Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to "My Phone" from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." I'm hesitant to do that because I'm afraid I'll lose the ringtones I actually have on my phone.
    Two questions:
    1. If I Sync Tones with my iPhone 4s, will I lose the tones that are on my phone?
    2. I now have an iPhone5s that I want to get those ringtones on. How can I do that?

  • Problem transferring contents of iTunes to new Nano

    I have just bought a new Nano. When I plugged it in, I expected that my existing iTune library from my old 20GB iPod would simply load up, but it didn't. The size of the library is currently 1.5GB. The new iPod appears in the source window. If I unplug the iPod and plug it back in, I get an error message saying 'X could not be copied to iPod as could not be found'. Can anyone help?

    Before deleting the songs, can you locate them on your PC? If you can, what format are they? Possibly, something that I cannot explain, a dang gremlin is in the midst.
    If you find the songs, then try clicking on it and let iTunes read. That is, if you have it setup for iTunes to be the default player.
