Ipod Nano 1rst Generation not syncing

Ok, so somehow fixed the problem with my ipod not being found by itunes. Now I'm back to the original problem I had. I get the error message, "The Ipod "Blaise's Ipod" cannot be synced. The required folder is not found." So I geuss I need to find the required folder... Help?

Oh and right after I "x" out of the first error message I get another one that states, "The Ipod cannot be synced. The disk cannot be read or written from."
I've been through the 5 r's

  • Ipod Nano 7th generation not recognized by computer or iTunes

    Neither my computer nor ITunes recognizes my Ipod nano 7th generation. It was working fine until I ran an intensive AVG PC tuneup on the laptop. Device manager recognizes the Ipod and says it is working correctly. I have done all suggested troubleshooting and nothing has yet worked. Additional suggestions or info I should provide?

    when I plug in a thumb drive, it recognizes that, why not the ipod?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen not syncing despite reset

    My Dad's iPod Nano 6th generation is not syncing with iTunes. He used it first with iTunes on a MacMini G4 and – with later versions of iTunes – ran into trouble while syncing. Now he owns a Mac Mini mid 2010 with a brand new installation of Mavericks on an erased and reformatted harddrive.
    Software's all up-to-date but the iPod still does not sync. It's being recognized and being found spotless by the harddrive tool. iTunes will just show it in the sidebar with no further info on the content of the iPod being displayed except the colored bar at the bottom indicating 430+ songs on the thing. No copying manually is working.
    Switching syncing options to manual and back do not help either, nor does a restart (of either iTunes or the Mac).
    I have reset the iPod but the result in iTunes is now that there is a welcome screen with button «more». As soon as I click that the iPod disappears from the sidebar – with no further action or option.
    I'd be glad to get any help here!

    Figured out the solution: I quit iTunes, dragged the "com.apple.iTunes.plist" file (located in Library –> Preferences) to the desktop and reopened iTunes. After confirming the t&c pop-up I plugged in the iPod and it's window appeared again in full, letting me sync contents once again.

  • IPod Nano 7th gen not syncing, accesoire not recognized

    Hello,
    My iPod Nano 7th generation is not syncing to my Macbook Pro, late 2011 and my iPod says 'Accesoire not recognized', while it's a lightning-cable from Apple itself. Can anyone help?

    Hello, Bram66. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend making sure you are using an Apple branded Lightning to USB cable, the MacBook Pro is connected to power and that you are not using a USB hub or docking station when charging the iPod nano.  If you are still experiencing issues after making the above changes, see the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Ipod nano 1st gen not syncing

    My ipod nano 1st gen is not syncing properly. When I plug it in and itunes starts up, it begins the syncing process, but gets stuck midway through. I have it set to only sync checked songs and a specific playlist. Also, it still has enough memory. Cannot get it to sync and stays busy so long i cannot eject because computer is busy syncing! I've also tried to reset and restore, but it wouldn't restore because it was busy syncing!! Help please!

    I have the same problem. I have an Ipod Nano 1st generation that won't sync also. I tried downgrading Itunes version and that didn't work. I installed the latest Itunes and firmware but I'm still having the problem.
    The only solution I have found is to reset the ipod, then do a restore in itunes then run the sync. It works then once and you will need to do it again everytime you sync otherwise it won't sync. It is rather disapointing considering that the Ipod is supposed to be a premium product.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen. not syncing with itunes match

    After the new itunes 11 release I cannot sync my Ipod nano 6th generation with Itunes match without downloading all the songs I want to copy to my ipod to the computer first.
    It is a little compersome to download 8Gb to my mac just for syncing and after sync delete them from my computer so that I just stream it again (airbook simply does not have enough space)

    iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
    You can send feedback on the upgrade here:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Not Charging/Holding Charge

    Hi.
    My iPod Nano 6th generation will not charge or hold a charge. I plug it in and it will turn on for about 30 seconds or less and then die. It will then continue to turn on and die unless I unplug it in which case it will die and not turn on. Any advice/suggestions and/or help finding what is wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    hold down the enter button for 5 secs then plug into wall while still holding it down.

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

    I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
    The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
    The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
    This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
    My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
    Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
    Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.
    Dell PC   Windows XP  
    Dell PC   Windows XP  

    Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
    After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
    BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
    Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.

  • Help: iPod nano 7th gen not syncing with iTunes or Windows XP.

    Please help !
    When we connected and followed the steps the first time, it worked perfect. But after we uploaded some CDs and tried to reconnect the PC does not see the iPod nano at all. not even on Device manager.

    Hey VandanaR,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are unable to sync your iPod because it is not connecting to iTunes. If you are experiencing this issue on a Windows computer, you can follow the applicable article from this resource:

    Windows

  • New iPod Nano gen7 will not sync

    Some backround info;
    My iMac 27" harddrive was recently replaced (11/2012) by Apple because they said it was defective (replacement was covered by AppleCare).
    I have recently purchased an iPod Nano gen7 and connected it to sync with my iTunes library.
    My iMac is running OS X 10.8.2 and my iTunes is running Ver. 10.0.2. The iPod Nano gen7 is running Ver. 1.0.2.
    My iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both installed prior to my harddrive repalcement are syncing all of my tunes from my old hard drive and tunes added after the harddrive was replace. My complete iTunes library runs from 2007 to present day and is stored in the iCloud.
    Listed on my iTunes account, iTunes in the Cloud under Manage Devices are 1) My iMac, 2) My iPhone, and 3) My iPad, Missing is my iPod Nano.
    On my Itunes page listed undet "STORE" is a listing called PURCHASED that only shows tunes purchased since my harddrive was replaced.
    My problem is that my just purchased iPod Nano gen7 will only sync tunes installed since my harddrive was replace, non of my tunes from my old harddrive.
    How can I get iTunes to sync all of my iTunes library to my iPod Nano gen7.
    Any and all help will be appreciated.

    I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
    Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!
