  • Trying to set up new iPod Nano

    Just purchased a new iPod Nano and am trying to hook up to my existing iTunes on my Mac. When I plug in the iPod, the computer does not acknowledge new hardware, so I haven't been able to get it set up yet. However, when I plug in my old iPod (mini), it acknowledges it and updates properly. Am I doing something wrong? Why won't the computer acknowledge that my new iPod is there when I try to plug it in? Have I left out a step?

    Actually, do I need to re-install iTunes if I get a new iPod nano? I'm just assuming the new Nano will work with my existing iTunes, right?

  • I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano and I need to update my OS! How do I do this?

    I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!

    Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
    Then buy DVD for that version.

    Trying to load my new I Pod Nano onto my pc.  Have tried numerous times and keep getting same message..."Error 2...Apple Application Support was not found.  When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes".  No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86). 
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

    When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes".  No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
    That's an extreme case of this.
    We'll try doing standalone installations of all the supporting programs.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
    Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
    Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
    Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?

  • Trying to use my new Ipod Nano instead of touch

    I have been using the older Ipod touch and just got the Nano. Is it possible to plug in the nano into my computer and upload the songs from my touch to the nano?? I'm not sure how to do it without losing all of the songs/videos

    Connect the iPod nano to the computer and set it up when prompted. Nothing will be deleted from the computer or the iPod touch in any case.

  • When trying to sync my new ipod nano it gives me an error message (13019)

    Iv had this Ipod for about a month and never had this problem until now, it will go through all of my songs like its syncing them but instead of finishing it gives me the error message. Can anyone help?

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new Ipome and Ipad.  and Ipad. Now I'm told I need to upgrade my operating system. The apple store gave me conflicting instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!

    There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
    So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
    If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
    If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
    everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
    Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)   
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)  
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
    ...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    *But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
    these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    To get more information use a service such as this...
    •identify by serial number:
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
    Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

    I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

    You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
    Sign in where?
    What music list?
    It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
    You can deauthorize all computer once a year.
    See:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

  • I have a new ipod nano and have created an Apple ID and provided all of my account details including address (shipping and billing and debit card). When trying to buy music through itunes I am told to review my account details. i.e. I cannot use itunes!!

    I have a new ipod nano but at the moment I am unable to download music through itunes. I'm so disappointed. I have created an Apple ID, reviewed and inputted all of my data for my account and still get told to 'review account' because my ID has not 'been used with Itunes before. Why is this happening and why don't apple have a more intuative way of dealing with this.
    Please help, I am completely frustrated.

    You'll either have to redeem an iTunes gift card, or create a new ID by following the directions here:

  • My itunes allows me to download songs but is having difficulty identifying my new Ipod nano. It is not working efficiently enough to power my netflicks through apple tv. Can you help?

    My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

    Hi Gordon,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    I would suggest following the instructions on page 56 & 57 of the iPod nano user Guide.
    iPod nano User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1624/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
    Page 15 of the manual explains how to set up iTunes syncing once the device is recognized.

  • I don't want to sync my new ipod nano with all my music on my mac. i only want to put on certain albums. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

    i want to add music to my new ipod nano but i don't want to sync all the music onto the nano from my mac. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

    Hello,
      It is 2015 and iTunes still wants to tell me what to listen to. This problem still persists. The only solution I have found is to select "Manual ..." and pick one by one the items to sync.
      When I select items to sync by artist or genre they do copy to the device. Then iTunes continues randomly selecting music until the device is full. When I want to load the Nano for a road trip I don't want 20% of the tracks to be Chakra meditation. When little Nano is docked on the nightstand alarm clock I DON'T want to hear Motorhead, Ministry, etc.
      For all the effort aPple puts into seamless integration and ease of use ... Why the heck is it so hard to say NO? Sync these tracks and NOT those. Stop asking me to log in to your cloud service BTW. I do not want it.
    Thanks,
    Disgruntled Sour aPple User

  • New ipod nano no longer fits dock
