I have tried to add a second nano to my computer

Hi,
I've just bought a second nano, and when I plugged it in using my existing usb cable from my previous nano, itunes did not recognise it.
Windows found it displaying a message “new device found” and I think it is now trying to format it with some software? The message on the Ipod says Do Not Disconnect but it’s was like it for hours with nothing happening on my computer, I eventually unplugged it. I have now established that I should have ejected it first, but then when I plug it in now, I think it is still trying to load something to it, and now when I unplug it my computer says writing to Drive I: failed, data may have been lost. I have tried going through the My computer and ejecting it from Drive I: but it still says Do Not Disconnect.
I have carried out the tutorials on disconnecting and resetting and when it is not plugged in the Apple logo appears and then comes up with the choice of Language, but then if I plug it back in it just says Do Not Disconnect, last night I left it for three hours and came back and it still said Do Not Disconnect.
Can someone please help me?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
I tried adding a nano to my existing mini. I ran the program and it automatically downloaded my library from the mini to the new nano. OK.
The next time I got on it erased everything on the nano and my complete library is gone geez. The mini has all the songs on it but Im afraid to reconnet. I was on with apple and we couldnt fine the missing library. As long as it says do not disconnect your safe it wont erase anything. Just shut down the pc first then its ok to disconnect. Thats as far as Ive gotton so far.

    You cannot.
    Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer.

    I recently deleted my gamil account from my iphone accidentally, and have tried to add it again, but it won't load mail. I get an error message that says my serve is not responding.

    That is the gmail server which has nothing to do with your iphone or Apple.

  • Have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

    have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?

    Because ratings don't travel with the files or the playlist.
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

    Hi..
    Delete the app then reinstall.
    Hold the app icon down until all the apps jiggle then tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop the jiggling.
    Then go to the iTunes store and re download the app.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    That should download the most recent version including whatever update was available.
    You won't be charged again.

  • HT1430 My iPad isn't getting connection to internet.  It just suddenly stopped!  It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up.  Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).

    My iPad isn't getting connection to internet.  It just suddenly stopped!  It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up.  Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).

    Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

  • I have a stuck CDR disk in my MacBook. I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

    I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

    I had that happen with a MacBook. It turned out that the metal case above the slot was slightly bent down.
    Putting a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and gently twisting it to move the metal case up allowed it to eject. Don't put it in too far you only want to bend the case not the drive.
    The case can get bent down by picking it up with your thumb pressing down on the case above the slot.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1766 i have recieved a new apple 4s phone and have a nana when i have tried to add other songs on my nana i have lost all of my songs that were already been downloaded little nervous about sync my phone is their a easier way?

    I have just bought a iphone 4s and i own a Nano, my concerns are i have tried to sync my nano before and have lost all my music that i previously put on when i tried to add new songs to it is their a easier way to do this to my new phone without losing all the music off of my Nano again ...

    You can only sync with one iTuns library/computer. It sounds like the Nano was previously synced to another computer/library.
    Just make sure that you also ways sync to the same computer/iTunes library.
    If you want to switch your syncing computer/library see:

  • HT1535 I have tried to add music to my ipod and it says no content but the itunes says its on there, what do i do????

    I have tried to drag music to my new ipod and it says its on there but when you eject it, says no content???*** i've had around 12 ipods and never got anything like this.

    - See if this works
    Fix for “No Content” on iPhone & iPod after iOS 4.2.1 update
    - Next try a reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try restoring the iPod from backup
    - Last, restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync.

  • How do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

    I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
    Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
    Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

    The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
    Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
    I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

  • Unable to download using Vista; FF goes to run or save; I've selected both; download goes thru "downloading" and then disappears; can't find anywhere; have tried this many, many times on two identical computer setups.

    Have tried many times to download both Firefox and Thunderbird on two 2-year old, rarely used, identical computers, both using Vista. (I downloaded both successfully on an old computer using XP.) The program goes thru the downloading process; alternately I've told it to "run", "save", "save to desktop", "save to my documents folder on desktop." It disappears when through downloading. I've checked in these folders plus temporary folder as found through "tools/internet options. I've tried to find these downloads by using "run" and using every word I can think of to help find them (temporary folder/or User/my name/firefox 3.6.9.ext and others. Get the message can't be found.

    A: Why won't AirPort Utility find my Netgear Router?
    AirPort Utility works only with an Apple router, as does the utility for a Netgear work only with a Netgear router.
    B: Why won't AirPort utility find my AirPort Express?
    Any of 3-4 common reasons. We'll have to work on troubleshooting that.
    C: Why, on the two occasions the AP Utility did find the APE, did it not give me the option anywhere to set it up as an EXTENDER to the current network?
    Apple designed the wireless "extend" feature on their routers to only work with other Apple routers.
    D: Is there any other way to add the APE to my network as desired without using AP Utility?
    No
    Not sure how you want to proceed at this point. It might be possible to use the AirPort Express to extend the Netgear network if you connect it using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection back to the Netgear router.
    If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, your best bet by far is to use another Netgear extender or repeater, which would likely be compatible with your Netgear router.

  • I have tried to add a NEW GMAIL Account into Thunderbird and after i use the automatic configuration finder and Password confirmation, it does not display

    I tried to set up a NEW Gmail account in Thunderbird But it will not display eventhough it confirms that the configuration is correct and that the password is Valid. Please NOTE that i previously was able to set up the email account correctly in Thunderbird but was encountering some errors and i therefore deleted it using the Account Actions menu.
    I have repeated this action probably probably 5 or 6 times and I still cannot see the new email account in Thunderbird. I can only see my other Gmail Account
    Would appreciate someone sharing with me a step by step answer to help me fix this problem as I have no clue

    Sounds like the Google Less Secure Application situation. Go to gmail and read what they have to say about this.
    FYI: Deleting and reinstalling accounts or Thunderbird software is not the best way to solve problems. It usually never solves a thing and can cause more issues as you are seeing. It is best to troubleshoot what you have and fix those issues.
