  • IPod Nano 6th generation won't sync with iTunes.

    I replaced the battery in my iPod Nano 6th generation and now it won't sync with iTunes. It shows in the list as iPod recognises that it is in recovery mode, so advises to restore. Press the restore button and after a time a message says can't find the iPod

    do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?

    Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?
    I wanted to add in my Christmas playlists and most recent purchases, when it wouldn't get past syncing the second song a couple of times, I tried restore and lost everything because it still wouldn't sync. Then I tried to sync to my old computer which isn't itunes 11, and doesn't have my latest songs on it. My ipod did sync then though, so it seems to be a conflict between my version of ipod nano and the latest version of iTunes??????
    Has anyone had the same problem? is there a solution??

  • My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. It *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

    My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?

    My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try again.

  • Ipod nano 6th generation won't shuffle entire library when connected to car

    Hello,
    I have been connecting my ipod nano 6th generation to my car (a Citroen DS3) using the usb cable. The problem I have is that the music defaults to playing alphabetically through the artists and will not allow me to shuffle my entire music library. I can see my library, arranged by artist, on my cars display and can select which artist I want to listen to, but the car itself will only allow me to shuffle songs for the artist that is currently playing and not the entire library. I cannot control the music that is playing via the ipod itself as it locks itself as it is being used as an accessory.
    Has anybody got any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Abi

    Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com  - you need your device serial number for this.  It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano.  (!!!)  
    Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open  :/

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Won't Eject

    iTunes recognizes my new iPod Nano (6th Generation) and I can add music, playlists, etc.  When I go to eject (both through iTunes or through Finder/desktop), the eject process seems to freeze and the iPod is not completely ejected.  Furthermore, I have tried to restore the iPod through iTunes and the disk will just spin after decompressing the iPod software package.  I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and still have the same issue.  I'm looking for any suggestions on how to address.
    Thanks.

    Both itunes and ipod flash "sync in progress", then it stops and says sync complete, but no music was transfered. I restored the ipod thinking that was the issue, but it continues. I unchecked manually managing the music and in devices i unchecked "stop ipod from automatically syncing". What is wrong?

  • New iPod nano 6th generation won't charge.

    I just bought a new ipod nano 6th generation multi-touch. I opened it and it had no charge and a black screen, no surprise I assumed it just has no juice in it. I plugged it into my macbook pro via the USB cord included and after leaving it attached for over 3 hours it still has yet to charge or offer me more than a black screen. Is there any way to remedy this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just simply dead and I need to return it for another? I have a half marathon to run in a week and I'd like to know soon so I can have it for the race x.x

    If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
    You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
    You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

  • IPod nano 6th gen won't synch with iTunes 12.1.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 12.1.1.4 on my Windows 7 PC a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to synch my iPod nano 6th generation (SW version 1.2) with iTunes. I have followed Apple's instructions to uninstall all of my Apple SW, restart my PC, then install iTunes again, restart my PC, then attempt to synch. I get the same failure I had before re-installing iTunes. My iPod connects with the PC and displays an icon on iTunes. I can select the iPod icon on iTunes and select the menu items under "Settings" and "On My Device", and all of the music and podcasts stored on my iPod are displayed. But when I select "Synch", I get the following two error messages:
    1. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found.
    2. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk is not available.
    I never had such problems with any prior version of iTunes during the several years I have owned my iPod. Help!
    Thank you.

    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.

  • IPod nano 1st generation doesn't appear in iTunes vers. 9.02 - HELP

    Since I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 9.02, my iPod nano (1st generation) doesn't appear and I cannot synchronize it. Tried to change USB port, no result. Tried to uninstall iTunes and install earlier version 8.2 for Windows XP, but it won't open, saying that "the iTunes Library.itl cannot be read as it was created in a more recent iTunes version". What am I to do if I want to keep using my old nano?
    Desperate Sapiapple

    I am having a similar problem. Dusted off my daughters old nano to take to the beach. Tried setting it up on the old lap top I am taking with me and I could not get it working. After hours of diagnostics and troubleshooting matrixs it seems that I did not have drivers. Apple's troubleshooting says go to microsoft, MS's says go to apple for the drivers. Shows up as a faulted device. Did the updates to the USB drivers, etc. Put the player in disk mode (still would not recognize) My laptop says yes I have an I pod but it cant find the drivers to install it My other old laptop running old I Tune software seems to have no problem. I thought it was my problem I was wasting a
    Sunday on, now I am thinking that this is a problem with this latest version of I tunes.

  • IPod nano 6th generation won't restore

    my iPod nano 6th gen, is locked in some kind of restore loop.  It says it's restarting after the restore, and after the iPod screen goes from do not disconnect to the Apple logo temporarily, the screen goes back to the restore screen, and iTunes says it needs to be restored.  What do I do now?

    We had to replace ours and it seems to have fixed the issue, so unfortunately, it does sound like a hardware issue.  The thing that ***** the most is that I had the first one engraved for my wife as a "birth" gift, and when you replace something, they don't give you the option to get the replacement engraved.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

    Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation won't xync Podcasts

    Hi
    I am in iTunes and selected the Podcasts I wanted to sync on my new iPod Nano.
    After syncing, the Nano says there are no podcasts.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    When you connect your ipod, on itunes on the right side tool bar it says devices.click on your ipod and a summary should come up, click on the podcast tab and select the "sync" option then you could choose which ones to sync.
    If it can't help you,you also refer this [iPod Transfer Reviews|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPodTransfer_SoftwareReviews],which lists some tools to work out iPod to computer.
    Cheers.
