Impossible Ipod Nano problems:1-syncing issues, 2-iTunes won't work at all

My ipod nano started with saying my playlists cannot be synced due to the fact that "no playlists exist"...when they are all obviously there in iTunes.
Then I uninstalled QuickTime & iTunes...then reinstalled them... my ipod would only recognize the Jessica's Ipod Selection playlist.
Then I deleted that, like before when I made my other playlists, in the hope that my other playlists would work
Then it was saying the thing about how my playlists won't sync because they don't exist..again.
Then I reinstalled itunes, + quicktime again..then installed them. Now it is saying "The File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Please, can someone help me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jess

There are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :

IPOD Nano : calendar/iCal sync issue

Since the change made on MobileMe calendar, I can't sync my "old" iPODs nano calendar with iCal anymore. (I have a 2nd generation iPOD Nano and a 4th generation one)
My guess is that the iCal datas are nomore on the Mac itself but somewhere in the MobileMe cloud and the iPOD nano can't find the datas anymore to update its calendar.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot for any help or idea

Nobody has any idea on the way to sync my "old" iPOD nano calendar with iCAL on my Mac running MacOS X 10.6.8?

Ipod nano 7th gen sync issue

I have just bought a new ipod nano 7th gen and am having issues with syncing it to my PC. On my devices the ipod is there and recognised as such, but in iTunes the ipod doesn't exist at all. I have the latest version of iTunes but can't find a way to access the iPod at all - any ideas?
The iPod is recognised on the family laptop (macbook), but not the PC. The issue is that there is some music on the PC that's not on the laptop and so would be helpful to access it via the PC and not just the macbook.

If the video is HD, the resolution is too high for the iPod's screen, so iTunes will not sync the video.
If this is a purchase from the iTunes Store, and you paid for the HD version, you may be entitled to also download the SD version (at no cost), which should sync to the iPod.
FYI - There is a command in iTunes to create a new version of the video, which should sync to iPods
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
However, videos purchased from the iTunes Store (such as movies and TV shows) have copy protection, so that command is disabled.

Ipod nano 6th generation sync issue

I have a 6th generation IPOD nano and I tried syncing it with ITunes but received an error saying that the music on the IPOD was associated with another computer. Unfortunately, this is our old computer that has long since passed away. How can I keep all of the CDs that I downloaded on my old computer on my IPOD and transfer them over to the new computer?

I can pretty much guarantee that Apple would like to know about your experience, as this is at least a potential safety thing. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPod in to an Apple retail store for evaluation.
Best of luck.

New ipod nano how to sync with previous itunes

My old ipod nano was recently broken and I just got a new one. I am not good with computers and have no idea how to get my computer and itunes to recognize the new ipod.
Please help!!!!!!!

Hold down the 'option+' keys when plugging in the iPT. Keep the keys engaged until the iPT shows up in the iTunes Devices list. This will prevent iTunes from updating the iPT. Then you can select the option from the Summary window to 'manually manage music and video'. See if that works.

Ipod Nano (6th generation) Syncing issue.

My computer's hardisk was corrupted and i have to replace my hardisk. I've installed itune on to the new hardisk. When i sync it will it wipe out all my songs on the iPod? If so, how i should to sync it in order to copy all existing songs from the iPod to my itune on the new hardisk? Thanks guys.

I am having huge problems synching my new Nano 6th Gen to my Mac while 2 other earlier Ipods work perfectly. My problem relates to the fact that I use smart playlists and their contents get all messed up on the new Ipod when I try synching. Symptoms include both missing songs on the Ipod and songs in artist name sequence instead of sequence on Itunes, both problems that raise questions about quality of software released for 6th gen. I went to talk to genius at Apple store and he indicated that Apple is moving away from smart playlists on Ipods and so suggested that I create dumb playlists on Itunes and copy the contents of my smart playlists to the dumb playlists and then synchronize those to the Ipod. That does work but it's a pain in the behind each time I add any songs to Itunes that get added to the smart playlists as I have to go through this whole time consuming process just to get the songs to show up on my Ipod. I also hope that Apple gets the synching problem fixed quickly.

My iPod Nano will not sync ratings to iTunes if more than one playlist is played

When I try to sync my iPod back to my computer it will only take song ratings I've changed if I only played music with one playlist. If I've played more than one it doesn't transfer them and just acts if they never existed. Why is this?

If you honestly did not damage the iPod, the broken screen should be covered under warranty. Do you live near an Apple Store?

Ipod nano not accepting synced music from itunes

Somehow my music erased from my ipod during my last charge. Now when syncing my music from itunes the music is not going on to the ipod. Any answers out there?

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

IPad (iOS7.0.3) sync to desktop iTunes won't work with wifi ... Only wired

For some reason, my desktop itunes (11.1.2) doesn't connect to my iPad by WiFi (which it ALWAYS did in the past) so now I have to wire it up to update and sync..??? Another broken Apple feature?? Seems a lot like that other company that I thought I'd gotten away from.. :-(

Hello DJKnutsen,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad with iTunes over Wi-Fi. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

ITunes 9 install issues, now iTunes won't install at all. (Vista 64-bit)

I tried to upgrade to iTunes 9 today but it failed to install using the auto-update tool, so as the tool suggested, I tried going manual. It installed, but gave me the "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support." error every time I plugged in my iPod Touch, and advised me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Support.
I successfully uninstalled iTunes, though the Apple Mobile Device support is being stubborn, and seems not to uninstall properly, remaining on the list of programs in the control panel.
I tried running both the manual install file (iTunes64Setup.exe) and the extracted AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, and neither work, even though I have the AMDS service stopped in the Services panel in the control panel. The progress bar sits for a while near the finish and then rolls back, and tells me that there was an error with the install.
The error message says:
iTunes installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Your system could not be modified. To retry these operations at another time (etc.)
Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.
