Insufficient capacity on 3rd generation Nano to allow auto syncing from iTunes

I have an iPod 3rd generation that has been restored.  I have 7.3GB space available.  Will not sync from iTunes because not enough space is available on iPod.  iTunes has 21.0 Gb total amt of music only stored.  At this time there is no music on iPod.  I anticipate 2 solutions neither of which I have tried; (1) manually drag each song from iTunes to iPod, or (2) deselect songs to be synced until I reach a total of 7.3 Gb.  Is there anyother solution?

Hello marion60
You can do one of two things to get those purchased songs to your new iTunes library. The first is to navigate to the iTunes Store on your MacBook and then click on Purchased in the Quick Links section. Once there you will have a list of all purchased items that were made with that account and can download those tracks again. The second things you can do is plug in your iPod nano and then go to the drop down menu File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

  • My ipod 3rd generation nano will not power up and itunes does not recognize it, what can I do?

    My 3rd generation will not power up. I've tried to reset it by holding the menu and select buttons at the same time but nothing happens. My itunes will not recognize it either when i connect it to the usb port. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • 3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

    3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • 3rd Generation Nano playing songs slow with static.

    I have a 3rd generation Nano and I have noticed that it has been songs a bit weird lately. It is not every song but rather every few songs. What happens is the song slows down with some static too. I equate to a record playing on a slower speed than it should. I am not quite sure what is going on...please help.

    The songs were purchased from iTunes therefore I do not believe that they are corrupt. May I ask how a song can be corrupted?
    I am assuming that a visit to the Genius Bar is order, correct???

  • 3rd Generation Nano only gets Apple logo on main screen need a full reset?

    Was just given a 3rd generation nano for one of my kids.  I cannot seem to unlock it (apple logo only on screen).  Need to reset.  When I hold down menu and center button, it just goes back to apple logo.  Am I out of luck?

    Try manually forcing the iPod into disk mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restoring it in iTunes.

  • Nike+ compatible with 3rd Generation Nano

    Hello ...I have been using Nike+ on my 2nd Generation Nano for just over a year with no problems ...unexpectedly I have got my hands on a 3rd Generation Nano ...my question is can I use the same Nike+ kit with the 3rd Generation Nano? ...or have the Nike+ kits been updated therefore meaning I'd have to buy a new one?

    There are a couple of different model numbers out on the packaging from nike and apple.
    With that said, both will work. There should not be any problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • 3rd generation nano hates certain songs!

    I am sure that this question has been posted before but - here it goes. It seems that my 3rd generation nano randomly stops playing musical tracks for no apparent reason. A song will be playing and before the song is over nano stops the tack and proceeds to the next. Whether I am shuffling songs, playing an album - whatever, it just randomly cuts a track short.
    I have tried restoring it to no avail.
    Any wisdom or advice out there???
    Thanks so much!

  • 3rd generation nano frozen and won't reset

    I have a 3rd generation nano, that is about 3 weeks old. It is frozen and it won't reset. I've reset before with no problem, but for some reason it won't reset anymore. Any tips?

    I've successfully reverted to 1.0.1 using information in the Mac OS thread. Go to:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1213. It has all the guidance you need to revert to 1.0.1. Below is part of my recent post within that thread.
    "I downloaded the two 1.0.1 files (iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw" and "iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw.signature) provided on this thread by "Alain Claude Cl..." (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1036653). Many thanks Alain. I followed his instructions, also in this thread, for installing them. I also found the posts from "sottil" (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1033843 ) to be extremely helpful.
    Thanks to everyone in the thread who kept this topic going. Until Apple gets its act together and issues 1.0.3 or 1.0.2.1 or whatever, the only solution is to revert to 1.0.1 following the guidance in this thread.

  • I need an earphone lanyard for my 3rd generation nano.  Will the lanyard for the 1st generation nano fit my 3rd generation nano?

    I need an earphone lanyard for my 3rd generation nano.  Have searched the internet and cannot find one.  Can find one for the 1st generation nano.  Does anyone know whether or not the lanyard for the 1st will also work on my 3rd? If not where I can purchase a 3rd generation lanyard?  Thanks for everyones help!

    You aren't required to do so. You can choose not to use the speaker dock or you can return the Nano.

  • Is there a battery recall on 3rd Generation Nanos?

    Is there a battery recall on the 3rd generation Nano? Mine's 9 months old, will play video for 35 minutes with full charge (from full depletion). It doesn't get much use, I heard that could cause problems also.

    There is no recall but they do need to be "exercised", with a charge cycle at least monthly.
    It is still in warranty, send it in or make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store.

  • HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

    My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac.  It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty.  All the other sync operations work fine including iCal.  My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

    It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud. 
    Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
    A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder.  You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
    Using your iPod as a storage drive
    That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

    My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
    Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.
