I cant add music or restore my 5th generation

it says the required folder cannot be found and doesnt allow me to do anything with it

Have you tried resetting your nano with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Also make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of the PC ( or Mac).
Sometimes, this can be caused by a corrupted iPod Photo cache.  Trash this file and resync your iPod.  See this artictle for information on how to find this file.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    I believe that iOS 7 requires iTunes 11. You may need to update your iTunes file.

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    As I said in my previous reply:
    You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you

  • Ios 7.1 iphone4s update means i cant add music to my phone!

    Since updating to ios 7.1 i can no longer add music to my iphone.
    I plug it in and it starts syncing then gets stuck on step 5 - waiting for changes to be applied (even though there are none)
    when i try to drag and drop music by going on phone - add to.. etc nothing happens.  sometiomes they appear but greyed outr as if they are waiting to transfer onto the phone but nothing happens.  This is really starting to annoy the heck out of me.  i did have a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and must've restored my phone to a previous version.  then i downloaded the ios 7.1 update again by mistake...
    it truly *****!! 
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe that iOS 7 requires iTunes 11. You may need to update your iTunes file.

Then I Ran the CD that came with my ZEN Player and only installed the Media Explorer and ran a firmware check on the player, plus got the Plays for Sure reinstalled off the Creative site that matched my player. Goodluck.

  • Cant add music files to iTunes

    Hi there. I have iTunes version 9.0.2.25 and unable to add music files to the existing list. I recently formatted my computer for a fresh start (which I have done previously with no iTunes issue), re-added the folder I have all my music in for iTunes but the new files won't add. It adds the 443 music files that I had on iTunes prior to formatting my computer but won't add any new single files when I use File -> Add file etc. as I did originally before the format.
    I have googled the issue and there are a lot of people with the same problem but the forums have no answers.
    Could somebody please help me with this problem as it is on my iPhone 3G which is an integral part of my work and public time.
    Regards
    Ross

    I'm having the problem of not being able to add any of my files/folders. And **** will freeze over before i do CDs again. Everytime I upgrade iTunes I have this problem. And I only upgrade when I get a new computer. I can import a CD, but I can't import files or folders from my hard drive.

  • I cant add music videos to itunes library of itunes version 10.7

    I am using itunes version 10.7. I am unable to add music videos into Itunes library. The Movies section remains blank when i select a music video and add it to library.

    Why you open a new thread for questions which where answered already 100 times...and do nou use the search option???
    But quickly:
    1. The IPOD Video needs the right video format
    2. There a dozends of 3rd party SW solutions available to convert almost every format into the IPOD Video compatible format - some of them are freeware - use e.g. Google to find some.

  • Cant add music to playlist

    so yeah i have windows 8 and itunes hates it. everytime i try to add music to an already made playlist it crashes or it does not add. not to mention it keeps adding multiples of songs to my library when i have one file for the song... it hates windows 8

    hey there lindseyroyal!
    I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing in iTunes with Windows 8. The article is for Windows Vista and 7, but the steps still apply in Windows 8. That article can be found right here:

  • I cant add music

    after i reformatted my computer my ipod could still connect to my computer but i couldnt play in my ipod and i couldnt add music to my ipod. i tryed using ipod updater but it didnt work. can somebody please help me?

    When it's connected do you see your songs in iTunes as grey text and with a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen? If so your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
