I have a 5th generation iPod nano. I downloaded an audiobook on Itunes. It will not let me sync saying this computer is not authorized. Anyone know what to do?

Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

HT4059 I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano and cannot get audiobooks to sync with it. The manual says this is a valid feature but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

I am trying to sync an audiobook from iTunes to a 7th Generation iPod Nano. The manual says audiobooks can be synced to this device by going to iTunes, selecting the Book button and selecting sync audiobooks but when I select the Book button I do not see any syncing options to select. What am I doing wrong?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

Does the 5th generation ipod nano have bluetooth capabilities?

Does the 5th generation ipod nano have blue tooth capabilities?
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, the fifth generation iPod nano does not have a built-in Bluetooth chip. The seventh generation iPod nano, introduced in fall 2012, is the only iPod nano as of now that does have Bluetooth built-in.

5th generation iPod nano compatibility with Linux?

I have Linux on my computer is the 5th generation iPod nano compatible with my operating system? Would i need to install a particular program to make it work.

Be able to add individual files just by copying them from any computer (any OS, with or without iTunes installed), and use a filesystem browser on the iPod to select which file to play in which directory.
Only Apple would know the answer to this. However, based on the history of the iPod, it seems unlikely that you're going to see this happen. One of the major differentiating features of the iPod is that one doesn't have to mess with a file system browser, it's all handled automatically by iTunes. Now, that's not to say that everyone is going to like players that work this way. Hence, the continuing market for other brands of players.
Please, release a new iPod firmware supporting this feature.
Again, seems very unlikely as it runs counter to the entire Apple design philosophy. However, if you want to make your feelings known to Apple (as opposed to just the fellow users who are going to be seeing this post), submit your feedback here:

I think the dock on my 5th generation ipod nano is broken. Is there a way that i could fix this?

Every time I try to connect my 5th generation ipod Nano to my computer I get a message that says that the device is unrecognizable. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes and I have tried most everything else the Apple Support says to do. I checked my devices on my computer when I had the ipod connected and it said that there was some type of problem with the USB dock on my ipod. other than this I have not had any other problems with this ipod. Is there any way I can fix this without having to get anew ipod?

Have you worked through everything in this article?

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano!

Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano! Unfortunately he is not working as it used to, in this regard, I would like to clarify: Can I change it at the official Apple store, a new one? If so, how much will it cost? (no money to buy a new Ipod, and I would like to change to the new surcharge).
In advance, thank you!

At an Apple Store they will give you 10% off the price of an new one if you recycle your old one.
But if you have a 1st Generation iPod you need to go this route: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/

Just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library. The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything. What am I doing wrong?

Does the same file play normally in iTunes? Do other audiobooks play normally on the iPod?
How does "borrowing" work? Does it require use of another app, other than iTunes, to get it on the iPod?

I just downloaded I tunes on my new computer, I've had an apple I'd since the iPod mini came out, I signed in and went to download purchases from my iPhone. It downloads apps fine but when I click on a song it says "your computer is not authorized" ***??
