IPod Nano 16GB, Latest Windows 64-bit iTunes, Playlist Question

Hello,
I have a 16GB Nano with touch screen and unfortunately it will not hold all of my music. I was wondering if it was possible to create Genius, Smart and Regular playlists and have iTunes sync only those playlists and ONLY the songs contained in those playlists? If so how do you do this?
Thanks,
Robert

Just set it to sync playlists, an put check marks by those playlists.

IPOD Nano Seen in Windows & Almost in ITunes!

New IPOD Nano is seen fine in My Computer as drive F: (external hard drive is E:) and I can browse to it using Windows Explorer. Itunes starts up when I connect the Nano but it does not list in under Sources. I have done everthing I could find on the support site including the 5 R's, disabling all but core services using MSCONGIG, removing/cleanup install using MS utility/reinstall with Virus protection disabled, checking for possible power shutdown problem with USB. I even went so far as to use the XP System Restore utility to get me back to the day before bought the NANA, downloaded and installed latest version of ITUNES with no virus protection and disabled all but essential services using MS CONFIG. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I could try? I am running XP Media Edition.

My nano would also launch itunes but not be seen in the source list. How I resolved it was I would shut down itunes, and while the ipod was still connected, do the reset on the ipod. When I reset it itunes would launch again, and this time itunes would show the ipod in the source list.

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb and it says it holds up to 4,000 songs, and 16 hours of video but on my Itunes I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb. How is this possible?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb that says it holds up to 4,000 songs, 16 hours of video, and 14,000 pictures. On my Itunes Library, I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb just of songs. How is this possible? If I buy the Nano, will I not be able to have all my songs on the ipod? The music is my first and only prioarity. I want to be able to have up to at least 3,000 songs, even if that means not having video or pictures. Can someone please help me?

Daniella,
The estimated song capacities, such as 4000 songs in 16 GB, are based on 4 minute songs of 4 MB each, which is what you get at 128 encoding.
Most of us nowadays use well above 128. (For example, the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 both sell songs only in 256.)
However, you can still make more songs fit! When you sync your iPod, use the option to "convert higher bit rate songs," as pictured. Choose 128. This fits more on the iPod, but does not change the songs in your library.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

IPod Nano 16Gb sync error

For a while now I have been getting the following when I try and sync my iPod Nano 16Gb on my Mac.
The iPod syncs when it first is recignized by iTunes, but it will not synce again. I select different playlists, or make any changes. I tries resetting the iPod and now I have almost no music on it. It is three months old and useless now.
iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-25172).
Any help would be appreiciated.

It does happen on both USB ports. I have used the original cable and one out of another iPod Nano box.
Both my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) and iTunes (10.6.1) have the latest updates.
I have tried both of my iPods, (16GB Nano and Classic 160GB), they will sync when first plugged in, but when I make music and playlist changes, then click the sync button they fail.
The 160GB will synce the changes to the playlists after I restart my system and iTunes, but the Nano had to be reinstalled completely and I cannot change the selected playlists, so it is almost useless now.
I will try and get to the Apple store next week. I read a couple of comments about this being a possible corrupt file. I have 160GB of music in iTunes, so not sure how to go about figuring this out.

My ipod nano 7th generation not recognised by itunes

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall and resinstall iTunes
> Register Your iPod Nano
> iPod not appearing in iTunes
> Restoring iPod to factory settings

IPod nano (4th gen) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.3

I have an iPod nano (4th gen). After upgarding iTunes to v 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro) I get the follwoing message:
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
Unfortunately, I restored to factory settings, which erased everything, but each time I connect the iPod I get the same message.
It must be an issue with compatibility because I get the same message with my wife's iPod (same gen), but hers syncs just fine on her iTunes (v 10), and I get the same message using two different USB cables.
So now my iPod is essentially empty (factory settings) and as good as a paperweight unless there is a way to get iTunes to recognize and sync. If I could get past the error message, I suspect it would be easy to sync automatically or manually.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi JMfromMN,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iPod isn't recognized by your computer, this article may help:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows

Since your wife's iPod displays the same behavior omn your computer, it sounds like the troubleshooting for the iPod itself (which you've largely already done anyway) can be skipped.

My new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You mean it appears in My Computer but not in iTunes? If so, check this first:
iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes on Windows
iPod shows up in Windows Explorer but not in iTunes, iPod Service Error or Please reinstall iTunes

My Ipod nano doesn't show up in itunes and in finder just like an extern unit. What has happened??

Just like above. The history is
An old ipod (4, 5th generation)
A few months ago my friend tried to sync it to her windows computer and had to erase all music (it's been compatible to mac always before) but then she could't put in any new music either.
Then it's just been laying around uncharged.
Now I try to sync it to my new macbook pro (itunes 1.11) but it doesnt show up in itunes. When i plug it in itunes show up over all the other programs but i cant find the ipod in it. In finder it's just a device with "NO NAME"
i don't know how to fix this, please help me!

Hello Solverlona,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized correctly in iTunes, but is recognized in Finder but seems to be seen as a storage device.
First, I would start with the iPod 5rs for your model iPod Nano
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
I would next try the steps outlined in this Troubleshooting Assistant if the above steps do not fix the issue:

About how many songs will the new iPod Nano 16GB hold?

About how many songs will the new iPod Nano 16GB hold?

That depends on a number of variables including how long the songs are and the quality of the format.
A 4 minute song downloaded from iTunes (256k format) is 8MB. That would give you about 1,625 songs if you had nothing else on the Nano.

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

Why is it that i am unable to buy an ipod nano 16gb in germany? In the stores it is advertised however not available, the store only has the 8gb and I can't ship it here? Is it a case of not yet launched, patent infringement or apple just being annoying?

I am trying, thus far with no success, to buy an ipod nano 16gb here in Germany. However whilst the stores advertise it they don't have it in stock and can't tell when it will be. The german apple store only has the 8gb version. Should i try to order from a reseller then they will only post within the uk. iSo my question is - whats going on? Why are there no 16gb ipods to be (apparantly) had in Germany? Not launched yet? Patent infringement? Apple being very annoying?

Call Apple or an Apple Store in your city and ask them. Or do a Google search.
