IPod 4th/5th Generation can't be customized

Hi there,
A few years ago I purchased an iPod Nano, I'm not sure whether it is 4th or 5th generation. I customized it on Windows and lost it when I moved. I just found it today and wanted to customize it on my new MacBook Pro (old Windows computer is dead long ago).
But iTunes won't let me delete selected photos on my iPod, and when I wanted to sync over new music, it informed me that all my other music will be deleted!
Also, on my Apple Account, it somehow doesn't show on my list of registered products. I KNOW I registered it when I bought it. I tried to add it to the list, and it wanted to know the exact date I bought it. I don't remember, and it won't let me add my iPod to my list of products.
What can I do about all this? I do not want to lose precious data in the process of deleting the ones I don't need. And I want Apple to know this product is mine, yet it won't let me add it to the list.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you!

It is out of warranty so the registration is really not an issue.
Your Nano can only be linked to one library. If you used the backup from your old PC to move your iTunes folder to the new laptop you would be able to do what you want.
You will need to use 3rd party software to move what is on your Nano to your computer. You can try Senuti.

    In the iPod touch 5th generation can I put a wifi card like Vodafone wifi cards I put a wifi card in my iPad 3G and it works what about ipod ?

    Wi-fi card?
    The ipod has wi-fi bult in.
    Why would you need a wi-fi card?
    It sounds like you are  talking about a SIM card, which has nothing at all to do with wi-fi.  It is for cellular service from a wireless phone provider.  If this is what you mean, then no.  Ipods are not cell phones and cannot access cellular data.

  • 2 ipods (4th & 5th generation), 1 itunes, different software

    Yikes! I had a 4th generation click wheel 20gb ipod (black & white) that started acting up. After looking around these forums, I decided the hard drive was dying so I bought a new ipod (5th generation 30gb with video). Suddenly my old ipod came back to life. For a short time. Now I'm trying to sync it with my itunes and I'm getting a message about it being corrupt. When I look up 'corrupt' in the support section here, it says, "The message does not indicate that there is an issue with the iPod but that iTunes was unable to read the firmware file it uses to restore or update your iPod. You can delete the folder containing the firmware files so iTunes can download a useable (non-corrupted) version." I'm afraid if I mess with the itunes folders, I'll mess things up with my new ipod. Can anyone help me get my mind around this?

    The updater to restore the iPod is now contained in iTunes version 7 or later. If you don't have it, get it here.
    iTunes download.
    Then use the updater to restore the iPod.
    See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.
    None of this will "mess" with your iTunes library or files.

  • I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

    If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

  • My iPod touch 5th generation had white screened an it won't let me rest it by holding down the home button an the power button for ten seconds I've pulled it in to iTunes an its not being detected what can i do as its starting to over heat?

    If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
    There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.
    Regards.

  • Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

    Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
    I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

    Good to hear you found the solution.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
