I can't sync my ipod nano, 6th generation! :(
Hi there!
I'm new to this community, but I've used apple for a long time. I recently bought a "new-ish" ipod nano off of Amazon. Its in great condition but I can't sync my library or specific playlist to it. It says a folder is missing. Also the manual suggest a usb 2.0 port, is that necessary for the nano? I only have regular usb ports.
I've been without an ipod for some time and I was really excited to have my music with me no matter where I went, and I find myself discouraged.
Help?

I haven't reinstalled from scratch because I'm scared of losing all of my music (have about 8.2 days worth -- most CD's, a lot bought on iTunes).
As for the ports, are the 2.0 ports required for syncronization?
I noticed that my computer will only recognize the ipod in a drive after the initial plug in, then the computer no longer recognizes it, but iTunes sees it. I feel like it won't sync because the computer doesn't recognize it at all. The ipod charges from the computer, but like I said, reading it isn't consistent.

I used to own an old 30gb ipod classic that I got back in 2007. I lost it somehow over the summer. I've had the same computer through this time, and it would charge that ipod perfectly, sync it perfectly, everything was beautiful. Nothing has changed but the ipod and the generation.
Is that really all it needs to make the difference?
Thanks again!
Ken

Please help!
You can't. You need a computer of some sort to sync any of those devices to iTunes.

No. You need at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later as well as iTunes version 10.1 or later. Sorry.

Can't sync my Ipod nano-2nd generation
I have a 2nd generation Ipod Nano. My original cable that I received with my Nano stopped working. So I recently purchased another cable from Quill, an office supply company that sells Apple products. Now I can charge my Nano, but cannot sync my Ipod to Itunes. I usually sync to my Windows 7 pc at work, and charge my Ipod on my home pc running under Windows XP (still).
Should I go and purchase another cable from the Apple Store directly? Or can someone tell me a tip on using the current, recently purchased cable?Hi, Zane,
I did get my Ipod nano to sync to my Itunes, but using my new Apple cable from the office supply store. Here's how: first, I uninstall and reinstall my Itunes software with Ipod still plugged in thru the new cable to the pc (I was on my Win 7 one), and second, pressed the menu and center button together to reset my Ipod. That's all it took to get Itunes to start syncing with my Ipod nano.
Thought I'd mention it here so others can see how I got it to work. -
Where can I buy an iPod Nano 6th generation?
I saw that today the new lineup of iPod Nanos is out, but I really would like to buy the 6th generation (the square one) because of it's clip-on ability. I don't see any available in the Apple Store (online) anymore, and Target doesn't seem to carry them anymore, either, at least not online.
Any idea of retailers that are still carrying them? Historically are they discounted after a new model comes out, too?I picked one up not too long ago on Amazon. This is about the only place I have found to get a recently priced one.

Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer
Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer. One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.
It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple. See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????
You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.
I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?
I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

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?

I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

How can I sync my ipod nano 4 to iTunes on my PC? I've tried the sync botton on iTunes and the 5 steps recommended by Apple to correct sync problems with no luck.
How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process?
You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?
