I-Pod Nano and I Tunes on Windows XP

I have just bought my I Pod today and have managed to send 40 songs to the I POD but now I have just sent over 300 other songs to my I POD but mysteriously I tunes decided to crash itself and none of the music files are on my I POD. I have tried to reconnect to I tunes and after the 5minute wait the I POD isnt an option on the source list.
I have no other programmes running and I have 1gb of ram moe than enough for this, I have downloaded the latest I tunes version and this is seriously putting me off the Apple company maybe all the rumours of unreliablity are true.

Ipod does not appear in iTunes

I have an I Pod Nano and would get messages to update my software. In my I Tunes I have 1,900 songs but after the updates it will only sync 933 songs. My current software version is 1.0.2. What am I doing wrong or is it something in the software. I have not done anything different in my I Tunes and all songs are checked. Could someone please help or advise me what to do?

Thank you Gail, but not to be ignorant but can I send you a print screen on what I am looking at. I will try am explain what I see: I hooked up my I Pod Clicked on Music checked Sync Music 1909 Songs select Playlist, Artists, albums, and genres checked Include music videos Playlists checked 50's Music checked 70's Music checked 80's Music checked 90's Music checked 2000 Music checked 2010 Music These are songs that I downloaded onto my I Tunes. I bought me a new computer but when my data was transferred from old computer to new computer a lot of my songs on my hard drive were lost, but they were able to save all my songs on I tunes. My I Pod is still connected Clicked on "On this Ipod" Music 938 Songs 2.2 days So my question to you is if I have 1,909 songs on my ITunes how come only 938 transferred to my IPod. I checked my IPod and it shows only 938 songs transferred. This did not happen before until I Tunes asked me if I wanted to update to a newer version. Last month I did have all my 1,909 songs on my I Pod. I hope this explains what I am asking

If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows, will all the original music be erased?, If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows, will all the original music be erased?

If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows for my new Dell laptop, will the original music on it be erased?

Yes, but if the device is formatted for Mac then you'll either need a Mac or an HFS+ driver for Windows (try hfsexplorer) to extract the data from it. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some ideas on recovery. The manual method listed at the bottom of the table and the driver should be enogh if you only need the media and aren't worried about ratings, play counts and playlists.

Just purchased my i pod nano and the battery is low, How do I charge it?

I have just purchased my ipad nano, and have no idea how it charges? I know Im so computer dumb! But is it the cord that you use to sinc your ipod that charges it? Please help?

Yes - just plug it into a USB port on your computer, or if you've got a wallplug from a previous iPod you can use the cable with that. There is more info on charging Nano's here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3215

Basic question: can I burn a playlist from my i-pod nano via i-tunes?

I see the playlist I want to burn when I connect my i-pod nano to my pc but I can't see any way of burning a cd from that playlist.

No, the playlist must be in iTunes in order to burn a CD.

Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

I pod Nano and Windows Media player.

Can someone please help! All my music is in windows media player and I dont know how to transfer it over to by nano.

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically when you use the "file/add to library" option in iTunes.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.
Once they are in iTunes and converted to a format the iPod can read, they should transfer.

I lost my i-pod nano and bought a replacement.............

how do I change the serial number on i-tunes so i can download all my current itunes which were on my old ipod? I dont want to lose all my tunes!!!!

You don't need to change anything, just connect the iPod and as auto transfer is the default setting, iTunes will load the songs to your new nano.

TS1363 My I Pod Nano is not reconised by I Tunes but used to be any ideas

Since I got my I pod nano periodically I Tunes would not recognise it but now it will not recognise it all. Any help please

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

1 computer, 2 I phones, and an I Pod Nano!

Myself and husband only have 1 home PC, i currently have an I phone and I tunes account that i sync together. My partner is now looking to purchase an I phone as well, and we also have been given a new I pod nano that we wish to run a home sound system from.
how will i need to go about setting up Multiple I tunes accounts and devices? and can music be shared across the i pod nano and I phones? so if i use my account to buy an album can i transfer and sync to both my I phone and the I pod nano?
I'm fairly new user and find it all a little complicated.. thanks for anyones help!

Obviously it's not something that Apple would suggest doing, but if you want to share 1 iTunes account, I would suggest creating a new admin account on your system, or using another computer. You can authorize an Apple ID on up to 5 computers. To do this open iTunes select Store (from the top menu) and Authorize computer.
If you are worried about getting all the content into another user. There are 2 ways;
1. If all of the content is purchased from the iTunes store, you would want to connect up the iPhone to iTunes (in another user) cancel the sync if it starts automatically, or before connecting up the iPhone launch iTunes and go to (Windows Edit/Preferences .. Mac iTunes/Preferences) go to the Device tab and select 'Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods' .. however this does not always work. Authorize computer in the new user. Once the iPhone is connected and this user account is authorized with your shared Apple ID, go to File/Transfer purchases from iPhone. This will bring over any purchased content.
2. If not all the content is purchased, put all the content onto a flash drive, log into the test user, open iTunes, authorize the computer in this new user account and then bring over all the content. Once this is done, make sure that you can play the purchased content in the new user.
Or you can put only the non-purchased content onto the flash drive, and then do step 1 and 2 to get all your data over.
Hope this is helpful, enjoy! ✰

I am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?, i am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?

I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music back

Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
Good Luck

I Pod Nano plugged in but is not recognized...help

So i just recently bought a 4 gig i pod nano and put in the cd to download the updater software and all that garbage. I already had itunes 7 downloaded on my computer but the disk that came with the ipod nano had itunes 6 on it (for what reason i dont know) and thats where everything went downhill. Previously (before i purchased the nano) i had an ipod mini connected to my Itunes 7 and since i downloaded itunes 6 which came with my nano it wouldnt even let me open itunes. so i redownloaded itunes 7 and plugged in my nano and it didnt show up but when i plug in my mini that shows up. i dont know what to do...i think it has something to do with my music library but not sure...let me know
dell inspiron 6000 Windows XP

Been having the same problem with my new 4G Nano, the computer just wont recognise it, but my old Ipod is fine.
But by chance i had a USB memory stick in the other USB port and the Nano suddenly shows up on my desktop and iTunes 7!! Still won't work without a memory still plugged in as well. But I can at least get music onto it now.

How to put PDF in my i-Pod Nano?

I know I can't put stright PDF in my my i-Pod Nano and I would like to know how turn a PDF file into a picture or text file so I would be able to put it in there.
please answer me if you can,
daniel

If you set up your Nano in iTunes to Manually Manage your music and enable disk use you can copy a PDF to your Nano. You won't be able to view it, you can just have it on there like a data file.
You need to convert it to a plain text file if you want to put it on your Nano as a note, or convert it to a jpeg to view it as a picture. To do either you will need to acquire software that can convert PDFs.

Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
