Having great difficulty syncing my new iPod nano ....

Try posting in the ipod nano forum
Also try explain what "difficulty" you are having.  It is hard to help when you do not even explain the issue

  • My itunes allows me to download songs but is having difficulty identifying my new Ipod nano. It is not working efficiently enough to power my netflicks through apple tv. Can you help?

    My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • I am having great difficulty syncing my iPhone 5

    I am having great difficulty syncing my iPhone 5 and especially with the Apple ID and password.  It never lets me in.  I will change my password and it gets reset but when I go to use it, the window message says incorrect password even after I have reset it successfully.  I have done this now at least ten times and I am at wits end to be able update apps or get info I need.  Apple ID/PW process is not user friendly at all.  Please HeLP!!!!!
    Now I am trying to add songs and ringtones to my phone and it won't connect so I can sync things.  I really need help.  Seriously.!!!
    Thanks.

    Hello, katieokane1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder.  Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write.  You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

  • I don't want to sync my new ipod nano with all my music on my mac. i only want to put on certain albums. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

    i want to add music to my new ipod nano but i don't want to sync all the music onto the nano from my mac. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

    Hello,
      It is 2015 and iTunes still wants to tell me what to listen to. This problem still persists. The only solution I have found is to select "Manual ..." and pick one by one the items to sync.
      When I select items to sync by artist or genre they do copy to the device. Then iTunes continues randomly selecting music until the device is full. When I want to load the Nano for a road trip I don't want 20% of the tracks to be Chakra meditation. When little Nano is docked on the nightstand alarm clock I DON'T want to hear Motorhead, Ministry, etc.
      For all the effort aPple puts into seamless integration and ease of use ... Why the heck is it so hard to say NO? Sync these tracks and NOT those. Stop asking me to log in to your cloud service BTW. I do not want it.
    Thanks,

  • TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

    I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
    First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES.  There is a bar with buttons toward the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist.  Click Apply.
    Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library.  The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

  • HT4235 having a problem syncing my new ipod

    having a problem syncing up my new ipod, any suggestions?

    The device will get a little warm during game play. If this becomes a concern I would take it to an Apple store to be checked out.

  • When trying to sync my new ipod nano it gives me an error message (13019)

    Iv had this Ipod for about a month and never had this problem until now, it will go through all of my songs like its syncing them but instead of finishing it gives me the error message. Can anyone help?

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • Ahh, my new iPod Nano automatically ejects and disconnects itself, Help!

    I brought a iPod Nano just a few days ago, and when I got home I managed to Sync a bunch of songs onto it. However, now when I try to sync movies, music, pictures, whatever onto it, the iPod ejects itself before I have to chance to do anything!
    I've tried re-installing iTunes, it didn't seem to change anything.
    I have tried updating the iPod software, but it doesn't work.
    Also I have read other tips from other people who have had the same problem. Nothing they have suggested has worked.
    Help!

    I'm having a similar and very frustrating problem. I originally synced my new iPod nano onto my MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.5.1), and had no problems. The frustrations began when I tried to transfer a few files from my old Windows computer; a window popped up and indicates that I have to reformat my iPod before it can be used (even when just transferring files).
    Now, when I go to use it on my MacBook Pro, the iPod momentarily connects itself but then ejects itself almost immediately. The computer won't seem to read that it's connected and the iPod reverts to charging itself (it's fully charged).
    I reset my iPod, I reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, I restarted my computer, I restored my iPod to its original settings... nothing seems to help at all.
    Why is this happening???

  • How do I transfer songs from my old ipod touch to the new ipod nano?

    I just got the new Ipod nano and I want to get the music i already have to transfer from my old ipod touch to the new nano, how can I do this?

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • BMW car adapter problems with new iPOD nano

    Hi,
    I recently swapped my iPOD nano to the new model. I used the old one as "CD-changer" in my BMW 3-series with the original Apple BMW iPod Adapter.
    Worked really great.
    With the new iPOD nano the interface does not work any more properly:
    - the iPOD is not turned off when the car radio is swtiched off.
    - the iPOD is not charged any more through the interface
    - once connected through the interface, the display is turned on (full white) and remains on! You could use it as a flashlight. The batteries are empty through this after max. 3 hours.
    Means: If you forget to switch off the iPOD manually after the journey, it will be dead when you come back.
    I updated already to latest firmware 1.0.2, no diference.
    Apple has no contact to call.
    BMW does not know anything and cannot help.
    Anyone an idea whom to contact or how to overcome?
    Thank you,
    JJer

    Mine finally got fixed at the MINI dealership! At first they kept telling me to update my ipod firmware but 2 firmware updates later (I'm up to 1.1 now) it still did not work). I finally convinced them to take a look at it. They were able to reproduce the same thing I saw, where my ipod worked on their cars, and their ipods worked on my car. That seemed to show that the connector and cables were ok, but they ordered a whole extra kit anyway just to try it out. After they got the new kit, they found out that though the cables were ok, they had to replace the ipod "interface/module (hw v3.0/sw v3.0)" to get it to work. Now my ipod finally works in my car and I get the MINI logo and everything!
    You guys may want to check with your respective dealerships or whoever installed the adapter to see if you may have the same issue.

  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

  • New IPOD Nano will not sync.  iTunes recognizes it, I think.  It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

    I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas.  Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
    However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it.  It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
    I have reset, I have toggled security on and off.  I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

    I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
    First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
    As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
    Good  luck!

  • How do I sync iCloud/iTunes Match content with my new iPod nano?

    I have a MacBook Air with the associated small flash drive. For that reason, all of my music is in the cloud and some of it is via iTunes Match. I bought a new iPod Nano and I want to sync most or all of my music with that device for use when I travel and do not have WiFi available. When I did my initial sync it says I have 38 songs. Obviously those are only the ones on the local drive = recent purchases. How can I sync all of my music with this iPod whithout having to download all of my music to my MacBook first - an impossibility due the limited drive space? Or am I just out of luck and need to return the iPod to the store. Thanks!

    Ipod is not compatible to iCloud. The only way to load the music is through iTunes.

    Managed to get my ipod restored to factory settings (yay!) However then it was being recognised in windows but not in itunes.......to solve this I referred back to Apples excellent troubleshooting guide. Installed the lastest version of itunes.....and there we go! We have a working ipod! I am so delighted and no longer on the verge of tears! (I so thought I had completely banjaxed my brand new ipod!)
