Ipod Mini generation 2 sync with ipod nano

I have an older version of i podmini generation 2 that i am uable to sync with the songs from my new ipod nano. The battery from my old mini is dead and instead of sending it in ... i receievd the new nano for X-mas.But now i can not add the song list from my old ipod to the new old .I have purchased a new Labtop since i got the first mini and never added the playlist to my new computer untill i received this new ipod. Does that have anything to do with the issue? sO MY QUESTION IS ... THERE ANY WAY TO ADD THE SONG LIST FROM MY OLD IPOD TO MY MY NEW IPOD?

In order to sync the songs that are on your old iPod Mini to your new Nano, they need to be imported and stored in your iTunes library first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Can ipod touch be synced with iPod?

No. You have to sync each with your iTunes library on your computer.

IPod Mini cannot Sync with Windows XP

I have a Dimension 4550 (Dell) running with Windows XP w/SP2. In the past when we purchased our iPod Mini, all things ran well. We had a system crash, and when attempting to load back we noted that iTunes now (ver 7+)requires a 500 Mhz; and ours is a 256Mhz. Therefore, I load on from a website an older version of iTunes (ver 4.9)
iTunes loaded on fine, but when we attempt to sync the iPod Mini we get the following message:
The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
I do not want to load the new Version, becuase it will not install on our machine due to the MHz matters discussed above. However, if anyone has a way to resolve this matter I welcome your comments. Thanks

The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
if you are using an iTunes 4.9, it would also help to have the IPod Updater software installed. here's a link through to that:

Ipod mini wont sync with podcatsing

everytime I hook my ipod up it says that ipod cannot be updated because the selected podcasts dont exist. I used to be getting podcasts but when they turned out to be bad i deleted them and frogot to unsuscribe to them. What should I do?

Hello sportyjenny19,
So your iPod never appears in the Devices section of your iTunes library correct? Have you tried resetting the iPod with it still connected to your PC?
What happens when you try manually putting it into *Disk Mode* ?

If still no luck, many users experiencing the same issue were able to resolve it by reformatting their iPod Mini using the tools provided by Windows. Here are instructions on how to do this.

IPod will not Sync with iTunes Nano

I want to put the songs I purchased from iTunes onto my iPod. Unfortunately the "sync" is now grayed out even though iTunes is reading the iPod. Meaning, I can add my iPod songs into my iTunes Dashboard, but the songs do not transfer the other way.
I use my iPod, and make song purchases, from two separate computers. Both computers are registered to my account.
I never had this problem with older versions of iTunes.

Hey Biglou1,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

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.

5th Generation iPod won't sync with iMac iTunes 9

PLEASE help. 5th generation 8GB iPod will not sync with iTunes 9 on my iMac OSx 10.4.11. Hubby rebooted system and now I have zero songs on my iPod.

Please help...must have my tunes back asap...THANK YOU anyone who can help.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

The screen on my ipod mini is black with small dots. It looks like space. Can I do anything to fix it?

Hi,
My screen on my ipod mini is black with small dots. It looks like space. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
Thank you. Cindy

This is an iPod mini, not the iPod nano in your profile info?
If you have not already, try doing a reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
This restarts the iPod. It is not erased.
If that does not help, the next thing to try would be a Restore (as long as the iPod is still recognized by iTunes when connected. The Restore button is in the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This DOES erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. If a software problem on the iPod is the cause, a Restore should fix it.
If the screen still has this problem after doing a Restore, it is likely to be a hardware problem on the iPod.

Can I use my Ipod Mini A1070 charger with the 4th gen Shuffle?

I have the old Ipod Mini which came with the A1070 charger. Would this charger be OK with the 4th generation (current) Shuffle?
The connections all fit properly but I was concerned about the compatibility between how much power was going into the device from the AC outlet.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Just got the Shuffle home and the Ipod Mini charger is not compatible. The connections don't fit. The connections do fit on my I-Pad charger and I've heard stories going both ways that it will work and it won't work.

Special syncing with iPod question, playlist

Hi- I have 2 playlists. I only want those 2 playlists to sync with my Nano. How do I get it so only those two playlists update automatically without the "ipod selection" playlist being created and a lot of the music I don't want copied over to my ipod.
Thanks!

When your iPod is docked & the iPod "summary" tab is displayed in iTunes, the second tab is "music", click on that tab. Under "sync music", the second choice is selected playlists where all of your available playlists will be displayed. At that point, you can choose what playlists you wish to sync to the Nano by checking "selected playlists' & then check the specific playlists you wish to sync.

I have moved my itunes to a new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Select Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs. Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, create your selection of songs below. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes. Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content. Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync. So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.
