I recently bought an i pod nano first gen and am having a hard time syncing

its not fully charged, so do i have to wait for it to charge to put music on it. i have a mac, and its not even acknowledging its existence
thanks!

Overdrive provides a step by step instruction on how to download the audiobooks to the nano http://help.overdrive.com/customer/portal/articles/1481729-getting-started-with- overdrive.  This may help you with the process. 
I have also read that you need to download the overdrive for windows not the overdrive app.  There is an issue with Itunes and the overdrive app.

    The music does not belong to you.  You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
    Sorry

  • I recently restored my i-pod nano but it will not automatically load the library from i-tunes. I've checked

    I recently restored my i-pod nano version 1.1.3, Model MA426LL.  When I open I-tunes on windows 8 the library doesn't automatically download. @witsend

    When I open I-tunes on windows 8 the library doesn't automatically download.
    When you say "download," you are referring to your iTunes library syncing to the iPod, correct?  Not something downloading from the Interent to your computer...
    If you want to use automatic syncing, you need to set it up in iTunes.  First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears under DEVICES in the sidebar, when connected.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar.  The iPod's Summary screen appears to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary; click on Music next toSummary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  That syncs everything that is music.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) what you want on the iPod from the lists below.  One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists.  (Or you can use existing playlists.)  Back on the iPod's Music screen, select the playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, the songs in your selection(s) sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

  • I recently bought an i- Pod Touch. Whenever I try to sync I get a message

    i recently bought an i-pod touch. I have loaded i-tunes be whenever I want to sync. or when I switch the computer off i get the message " i-tunes-exe Application error.   The instruction at "0x00000008" reference memory at 0x00000008". The memory could not be read.

  • I recently bought the i pod touch 4 and noticed that not all of my songs transferred over-The songs that didn't, say original file cannot be found. What should I do?

    I recently bought the i pod touch 4 and noticed that not all of my songs transferred over from my i tunes library-The songs that didn't, say original file cannot be found, when clicked. What should I do? I tried using the tips on this site, but they weren't too helpful...I downloaded the songs from cd's and purchased them from i tunes.
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    I doubt that your music files are gone. Do a spotlight search and look for The Cure. What likely happened is that for whatever reason, your iTunes lost track of the location of your songs.. which happens on occasion.
    What you need to do is go to the folder where your music library is - where the song files are - and check to see if they are there. If so, then go into your iTunes preferences and in the 'Advanced' pane put in the location of the folder where it says 'iTunes Media folder location'. iTunes should then be able to 'see' the songs again.

  • I have a nano ipod first generation and I am havng a problem syncing it to my computer. It won't sync.

    I have an iPod nano first generation and I am having trouble syncing it to my computer. My email address is [email protected]

    Thanks, I deleted a bunch of apps and some other TV shows I had on there. All of the other movies have an active download button so there is room for other movies, just not that one for some reason...weird!

  • How do I get music onto my i pod nano 7th gen

    I am going out of my mind.  I purchased over 200 songs via itunes and can not get them on to my i pod nano 7th gen no matter what ai try--- All my music is also srored in my i cloud--- Does any one know how to move it from the i cloud to the 7th gen i pod nano?
      Help Help Help --- I am ready to throw this thing in the river, as I can't get any of the music I have paid for on it.   All my music automatically downloads to my i phone S via Wi-Fi, I don't have to plug in to itunes or synch-- the music just "appears"----magic???
    As the sound quality on the iphone is no where near as good as on the Nano ( which is meant to ONLY BE A MUSIC PLAYER)----I really want to listen to it on my new Nano----What the **** is wrong with Apple that they enjoy torturing us with ever new product upgrade release that they don' t tell anyone how to use!
    ***!--Apple   you SUCK at customer service and support, which is why all these user groups have cropped up trying to help each other. as Apple is not interest ed in customer service, only in selling us things they don't, can't or just plain won't tell us how to operate!!!
    Why is it impossible to put music on an Nano 7th generation.   Does any one know of a phone number for a real Apple human that may deign to help me?
    Please !!!!!
    Apple, we buy your stuff- why can't you tell us how to use it? 
    I am desperate-- have been trying to do this for weeks with no results!!

  • I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" I don't know the owners info! Help?

    I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!

    A little more information:
    You are running against the Activation Lock
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    If you can't get this done
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account

  • Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

    recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ?  I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

    If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.
