HT1386 Itunes recognises my ipod nano 7th gen but won't sync (also have another ipod nano 6th gen who uses this same computer, different Apple ID, no probs syncing)

Two ipod nanos registered to same PC
Both with own Apple ID
Up until recently able to sync both ipods no problem
Now, the 7th gen ipod nano, unable to sync and all music previously synced has dissappeard from ipod (thankfully still in itunes).
Could Homesharing have something to do with it?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help...have one unhappy 11yr old music lover!

Hi kumaradevan.g,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue syncing music to your iPod from a specific laptop. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that can help resolve the syncing issue that you described.
'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring…

Can I share iTunes purchases on same computer, different apple ID?

If I purchase an album from iTunes, can I share it with my daughter, who lives at home and uses the same computer, but has a different apple ID and separate user account in Windows 7? Our computer would presumably be authorized already by each of us. Thank you.

HT1926 Why ,when Itry to install the latest update for iTunes does it say that my iTunes signature is "invalid" when I have used this same computer for years and have installed all the previous updates? Thank you.

Why, when I try to install the latest iTunes update, itsays that I have an "invalid" signature...I have used this same machine and have installed all the previous updates with no problem.

That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Someone stole my ipod while i was at school. i was wondering if apple is able to locate the stolen ipod through a serial number considering i still have it. i also have another ipod linked to the same itunes account if that means anything.

Hi, someone stole my ipod during school. I was hoping that apple would be able to find my ipod through the serial number. the stolen ipod is linked to the same itunes account as one of my other ipods... if that means anything. another thing is the passcode was on when it was taken so who ever stole it probably isn't having much luck getting into it. anyways, i would be glad to hear anyone's ideas on how to get it back

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

The car gauge app available from the itunes store utilizes an OBDII Bluetooth adapter, but I can't configure the Bluetooth address. How can I use this app I just installed, it has to have the Bluetooth address configured.

I saw an advertisement in a car magazine for an app that would provide gauge read outs available for download from the app store. So I went to the app store, found the app, downloaded and installed it. I then purchased the Bluetooth OBD hardware adapter required to transmit the data from the car to the phone. The adapter has to be configured for the app to communicate with it. This is an apple approved app. But everything I've read says that apple will not allow iPhone owners to make any adjustments to their Bluetooth addresses. And that iPhone only provides Bluetooth connectivity to basic head sets speakers and audio formats through the car stereos ( but no audio streaming).
Bottom line, apple approved app and hardware that can't be configured unless I perform a jailbreak? I don't want to JB the phone but it seems that apple has left me with no other options. I've already invested time and money on this software and hardware. Their must be a legitimate way to use this apple approved software. Does anyone know how to adjust/configure bluetooth settings/addresses?

Generally, if you have to enter a code for bluetooth, your iPhone will ask you to enter a 4 digit code when pairing. Check the instructions for the device you are trying to pair with your iPhone. The instructions should give you the code in the pairing instructions, if a code is required.

What happens when you try? Does the iPod even appear in iTunes? Have you tried a different cable or different USB ports on each PC?

Can you sync games and apps to the 6th gen iPod nano?

Hi, is it possible to sync games and apps to the 6th gen iPod nano because it is a touch screen?
Thanks,

No. Apps are only compatible with devices running iOS such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.

Yes

My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
