I cant get songs onto the ipod nano

ok so ive had this thing since xmas and i had like 235 songs on it.
and it was a 2 gb, and with 235 songs, it was full.
so i thought, well maybe if i just delete some i can put new songs on.
i delete like 50 songs so i can put some on and i didnt know how to get it all back on the nano.
somehow, i accidentally deleted the playlist that had every song in my library from my ipod.
and now i dont have anything on the ipod.
i try and sync it all back on but it says this:
"Songs on the iPod "Matts iPod" cannot be updated because all of the the playlists selected for syncing no long exist"
so i try and make a new playlist, and it STILL wont sync.
oh and i went to "About" on my ipod when it was empty and it said i could have 1.7 GB but it said i only had 1 GB available.
can someone explain this to me?

Use the instructions in this article to add that playlist to the playlists set to be synchronized to the iPod, or change the iPod's synchronization mode.

HELP cant get songs on the ipod

itunes says that the ipod has been updated but when i go to use it it flashes green/orange and doesnt make any noise.
Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Pro

That sounds about right.
Updating the software removes all songs.
Flashing O/G means, among other things, that there are no songs on the iPS to be played.
Not making noise when nothing is there would be a good thing.

Can I store iTunes songs onto the iPod by using it as a HDD?

Hello. I would like to know if I can store iTunes songs onto the iPod but not as a nMP3 player but as an external HDD. For example, suppose I load 1000 songs onto my iPod to listen to, could I take those same 1000 songs and store them as well? 80 GB is about 10 times the storage I'll ever need so instead of backing up all of my songs onto a DVD or external HDD, I wanted to store them on my iPod. I understand that I will be storing the same songs twice (one for listening and one for backup). Is it possible?

A similar issue but with video files. I have created several Gb of video files and backed them up on DVD. Now I want to only store them on the iPod Classic and be able to paly them on the iPod. My current method is to copy the video files onto the iPod (with disk use enabled) and set iTunes to NOT copy songs/video to the iTunes Music folder. Now when the iPod is connected I drag the video files to iTunes and it creates a link to them (located on the iPod whjich is behaving as an external hard disk) and lists them under TV Shows (or Movies). I can now sync them to the iPod and play them successfully.
Although this works I end up with two copies of each video file on the iPod. I am guessing that if I delete the original (data) video file iTunes will get upset and remove the second copy from the iPod as well when I next do a sync.

HT1473 I have an audio mp3 (it's a lecture, not copyrighted). It's in my itunes now but I can't get it onto my iPod nano. I have a mac.

I have gotten an mp3 of a lecture into my itunes but can't get it onto my ipod nano. I'm on a mac. How do I do this?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

HT3819 When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not. When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them.

When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not. When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them. I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

I CANT GET SONGS ON MY IPOD! AAHH!

You know when you first download the itunes CD onto your computer, and there are steps that you have to go through to get the itunes working, well there is one step where the itunes like "checks through" the ipod... and theres an option to skip the step, so I did, and now I can't download any songs onto my ipod. Downloading onto itunes isfine, its just when i try to update my ipod, it says its doing it, but then all my songs are the same. What do I do? HELP!

First of all someran, when you repeatedly scream for help like you have been doing all afternoon, it tends to get you ignored in these forums. Please remember that we are all fellow users in these forums who volunteer our time to help other users. We have no obligation to answer anyone.
The first thing that you need to do, since iTunes seems to be working well, is restore your iPod. See the following link, if you do not know how to restore.

Can you get games on the iPod Nano 2nd generation?

This is probably a simple question, but can you get games on an iPod Nano 2nd Generation?

No, unless you previously bought iPod click wheel games and still have copies of them. Apple no longer sells those.

Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

I just bought a 7G nano. All of my songs are in the cloud. My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos. I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced. The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod. The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC. Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I can't load songs onto my iPod nano after updating to the latest iTunes!

It just won't let me drag and drop songs like I used to be able to and when I go into the other option it tries to syc the whole library and delete what I've already got on it and I don't want to do that.

Hi thomas-paton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the most recent iTunes update. If you are having issues dragging individual files to your iPod nano when connected in iTunes, you may want to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is selected, as outlined in the following article:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

HT1296 "Device" isn't even listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to be able to copy songs onto my iPod nano. What do I do?

The "device" category is not listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to transfer my playlist from my MacBook to my iPod nano. When I plug the nano in the Mac, nothing different happens either. What do I do? The Help option doesn't explain what to do if the Device listing isn't there.

I bought an album and i cant get it onto my ipod clasic but all my other songs are on it

i dont know why just this one album doesnt work

Hello Ethan,
I would be concerned too if one album was not syncing to my iPod. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
First, if you are trying to drag the album over to your iPod in iTunes (manual syncing), verify that "Manually manage music and videos" is checked:
You can find more information at the full article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you are syncing automatically, I recommend trying to resync. You can resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
I also recommend reviewing the following article for additional steps if the album is still not syncing over:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Trying to move songs onto the ipod linked to another computer to a mac

The classic Ipod I have was linked to a PC that crashed. I now have a mac and I am trying to put the songs onto that itunes library. I am able to update my ipod and add songs to it, but I can't put a backup of songs into the itunes library. Any suggestions? Thank you for any input!

now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
VERSION 5.014 --
6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
2
7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
i have no idea what you are talking about.
9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
6.0.2.23
10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
1
11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
no
12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

Is there any way to get songs from your iPod nano into your iTunes library?

My iTunes library has been totally cleared but my iPod nano is full. I'd really like the music back in my iTunes library, so is there a way to get the music from my iPod into iTunes?
