I got a Nano 7th Gen for Xmas. It keeps teling me there is nothing in my Library to sync, even though I'm staring at my full library.

Before you ask, Yes I have selected "Sync Music", Yes the music is selected for syncing, Yes I've hit Apply, Yes I've downloaded the newest version of Itunes, and Yes the computer is authorized. This isn't my first Ipod.
My computer runs Windows 8, and I've also tried running the compatibility test and changing the compatibility to Windows 7 and Windows XP; still have the same problem no matter which mode it runs in.
The Ipod Tab shows up just fine; it just says there's nothing to sync.

The only way to backup non-Tunes purchases to iCloud it to subscribe to iTunes Match.
The message you are getting means that iTunes can't find the actual music files.
You can:

- You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How do I blutooth from my SIII to my nano 7th gen for music

I have just gotton the new ipod nano as my old one died. I've tried to use the bluetooth between my SIII and nano but neither will connect is there a way around this as I don't really want to pay for songs I already have.

Ultimately, an iPod nano is loaded (synced) from a computer running iTunes. There is no way to directly connect it to another mobile device, not even Apple's mobile devices.
What you need to research is how to offload the music on the S3 to your computer. If you can do that, and the song files are MP3, AAC, WMA, or some other format that can be imported into iTunes, you can then simply sync those songs to the nano, like any of your songs in the iTunes library.

HT5470 How can I get the driver for my new ipod nano 7th gen for windows vista?

Recently purchased a Nano 7 to replace my 3rd generation struggling to connect to my windows vista laptop and Im looking for the driver, can anyone help?

The driver you need to connect your device to Windows is installed during the iTunes installation. So if you already have iTunes installed, verify if it is updated. If it's not, then update, If it is already updated download a new .exe file from the Apple page, and reinstall it:

Follow this article before removing iTunes and its components.
Hope this helps!

I got CC a year ago for teams and haven't used it. Now I can't add myself even though I have renewed.

I didn't respond to my invitation to myself last year, (Didn't realise I had to) and no longer have the invitation apparently. (I subscribed but didn't use CC). Should I remove myself as user , and just re-send?

If you're subscription still active You must revoke the invitation and send it again .

Ipod Nano 7th Gen

Hi Can anyone help, Just got the Ipod Nano 7th Gen for christmas and when connecting to itunes it states that there is an update to 1.0.3, when I follow the instructions to update, it starts downloading and near the end I get an error and it does not finish any ideas?

What is the error message?
I'm going to guess you are updating on a Windows computer. The error is probably due to your antivirus/antispyware software. Temporarily disable ALL of it and try again.

Music keeps cutting out on my ipod nano 7th gen when using bluetooth

I just recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen and the music keeps cutting out when I use bluetooth headphones. It seems like it needs to have a line of sight or else the music will cut out. If I hold the ipod in my hands while running or keep it in my pocket, I am listening to more pauses than actual music. I practically have to hold the Ipod up to my head while running to not have it cut out on me (and that is obviously not comfortable). Is this how it should be or do I have a faulty Ipod? Is there some way that I can fix it or do I need to take it to the Apple store?

thankfully I was just able to find the answer in another member's post. You can double click the side button to advance the songs. I credit member little goomba for sharing the answer on another post. Now I am back to loving my new Nano!

IPod Nano 7th Gen. & Nike App

Good morning friends,
I am interested in purchasing an iPod Nano 7th Gen. for the fitness app but I have some queries - I've checked online and am a little more confused then when I started.
I understand that the Nike Fitness App doesn't need the shoe sensor in order to work. This is the main reason I am interested in purchasing the product; however, in the store the personnel indicated that the shoe sensor is required. I investigated this a little and now I am of the understanding that you can use the app without the shoe sensor for walking/running, but that having said sensor makes the app more efficient/accurate.
Could someone clarify this for me, and indicate which are the functions when having the iPod only or having the iPod + shoe sensor?
Thanks so much in advance!

Hello,
I have the ipod nano 7th gen. I use it without the sensor and it works fine. It is quite accurate. I have tested it by running around my neighborhood and then compared my run to Google Maps and it was pretty close. After each run, you can calibrate your distance. This will make your runs even more accurate.

I previously owned iPod Touch -New iPhod Nano 7th Gen. Can't seem to be recognized by iTunes or Sync

I previously owned an iPod Touch. I received an iPod Nano 7th Gen. for Christmas. How can I get the device to be recognized by iTunes and Sync my music? I tried all the Troubleshooting and it doesn't seem to work

Try this one: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Playlists will not sync onto iPod nano 7th gen

Since the very beginning of iPods, I subscribe to a number of podcasts that refresh in iTunes automatically. Once a day I transfer the "recently added" podcasts to a created playlist for my daily listening. This allows me to cull out music downloads from the pure podcast list. Since "podcasts" have been separated as an app, iTunes made it difficult to accomplish this. With iTunes 12 and my current iPod 7th generation, I can find no tip that will allow me to continue the practice. I want a continuously playing playlist of the most recently downloaded subscribed podcasts that can easily be refreshed and transferred to my iPod nano 7th gen at the end of each day.

There is no Apply button there, until you change something. Until you make a change to a setting on that screen, the button (where the Apply button is located) says Sync.
It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are describing. The Recently Added playlist is a smart playlist. It comes "pre-installed" with iTunes. However, if you right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist, you will see that the two rules for populating it are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks
Genre - is not - Podcast
Therefore, if that is the playlist you are referring to, it intentionally excludes podcast episodes. If you want a new smart playlist that lists podcast episodes downloaded in the last two week, you can start with the Recently Added playlist. Don't modify that playlist. Right-click on it and select Duplicate. Name it (the duplicate) something like "Recently Added Podcasts" (or whatever you want). Right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist. Change the rules so that they are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks <- You can change the number of weeks as desired.
Media Kind - is - Podcast
NOTE: I suggest using Media Kind instead of Genre, because it more accurately identifies items that are podcasts. Something can be a "podcast" without Genre set to Podcast. But everything iTunes shows as a podcast MUST have Media Kind set to Podcast.
That new smart playlist ONLY shows all podcast episodes downloaded in the last two weeks. You can then sync that playlist, if you want them all, or use it as the source to manually update your "daily podfest" playlist, and then select that playlist on the iPod's Podcasts screen (as described in my previous reply).

Charging iPod nano 7th gen

How long should I charge my ipod Nano 7th gen for maximum charge?

The battery meter in the top corner seem to always stay at about 90% and would never fill up the entire way, But I just went to the store today and bought a new charge chord and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you for trying to help I appreciate it.

Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
Happy New Year to you all.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

Hello i just bought an iPod Nano 7th gen and it got crushed the same day. Can i get a replacement?

I went to walmart and bought a 16 gb silver nano 7th gen. Upon paying for it i regretfully said no when they offered me insurance or w/e it is. So i go home, charge it and upload my music to it and head out to the gym.
Now i know most of you are gonna think i crushed it with some weights but nope. When i finished my workout i left and got on my car. When i closed the door it bounced back and i heard a crush. I look down and it appears the ipod fell out of my pocket and it got destroyed. It still turns on but the mteal is bent, the screen is all tiny shards of glass and the image behind the glass is all messed up now.
A little vent here but i honestly have the worst luck ever.
Now is it possible to get a replacement somehow?

You can send it in to them: https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action?PRKEYS=PF3
