IPod nano (1st Gen) won't sync with iTunes 7

I upgraded iTunes to latest version and now when I connect my Nano it does not sync the music. I have 382 tunes on my Nano and it loaded only 25 into the Library - this were all Music Store purchases strangely.
Any ideas? I'm on XP by they way
iPod Nano 1st generation   Windows XP  

i say that even tho itunes 7 fixed holes in 6 its still totaly CRAP comapared to 5. and ya it half makes sense to put out a new itunes along with a new ipod gen. but still when the millions of ppl with the first gin have so many problems i dont see how apple isnt getting sued for exentialy sabotoging milions of peoples ipod. i mean when u pay at least $200 for something i would think it sould last more then8 months and not only am i having the itunes problems with sync but according to the guy that reinstalled windows on my laptop its itunes that made it crash and i found an article that thousands of other people had the same thing happen so if thats true thats around $500 ($200 for ipod and $300 for windows pro install cd) apple took from me

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • My Ipod Nano (3rd Gen) won't sync with Itunes. Help!

    My Ipod nano 3rd gen stopped syncing with my Itunes for some reason. I switched the cords and it still doesn't sync. It doesn't even show the little lightning bolt on the battery and more.

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

    Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync with itunes..i know i have to replace the battery as it won't hold a charge.

    It turns on fine, appears to charge but will not hold a charge..It won't sync with my Mac Book Pro, iMac, PC or Netbook.  Do you think it is the battery?

    What happens when you try to sync? Error messages?
    An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

  • IPod Nano, 1st gen., won't connect with XP

    I have a 1 GB black 1st generation iPod Nano. The screen recently broke, so I had to send it in for servicing and they sent me a new one. My old iPod Nano worked perfectly with iTunes and Windows XP. Now, when I try to connect my new one, I guess that since it has a different Serial Number, iTunes nor Windows will recognize it. I called the Apple company, hoping they could help me, but they couldn't and said it was a Microsoft problem. My iPod will charge and everything, it's just that when I try to use the iPod CD, my computer won't recognize the CD either. If you have any suggestions, please post them. I can't wait till I can use my iPod again!

    The iPod Nano only has A2DP (stereo bluetooth) AVRCP (controls) and low power Bluetooth profiles. It does not have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and cannot connect to your phone.

  • IPod nano 6th gen won't synch with iTunes 12.1.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 12.1.1.4 on my Windows 7 PC a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to synch my iPod nano 6th generation (SW version 1.2) with iTunes. I have followed Apple's instructions to uninstall all of my Apple SW, restart my PC, then install iTunes again, restart my PC, then attempt to synch. I get the same failure I had before re-installing iTunes. My iPod connects with the PC and displays an icon on iTunes. I can select the iPod icon on iTunes and select the menu items under "Settings" and "On My Device", and all of the music and podcasts stored on my iPod are displayed. But when I select "Synch", I get the following two error messages:
    1. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found.
    2. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk is not available.
    I never had such problems with any prior version of iTunes during the several years I have owned my iPod. Help!
    Thank you.

  • Nano 1st gen will not sync with itunes

    I dont understand, suddenly my ipod will not sync with the new itunes [the 7.1?] and i cant even restore it, becuase itues does not recogise it.
    I also tried two ways,
    1) with run i tried this services.msc and i made it into a manual option
    2) then i tried to restart the ipod through the computer management option.
    what do u suggest? I dont have the old cd that came with the nano with the old itunes when i didnt have any of these problems.

    Hello
    For some people (that don't have Fifth Generation iPods) in the new iTunes 7 (or 7.1) their iPods aren't recognized, but the new features in iTunes 7 may not be worth it, if you want your iPod to be recognized correctly.
    If you think you'd like to go back to the old iTunes, then you can download iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple's website here -> iTunes 6.0.5 for Windows download (here is the original web page; look on the right panel to download).
    So, if you don't have the installation CD, you can simply download it from the link above.
    I hope this helps you!

  • My ipod nano 7th gen won't sync with new itunes!

    Ever since I have downloaded the new version of itunes, my ipod will no longer sync. Firstly, it wouldn't even be recognised on my desktop but I somehow managed to fix that and is now recongnised on computer. When I plug my ipod in it says its connected but now everytime i try to sync my ipod it comes up with the same message on itunes of 'an ipod has been detected, but cannot be indentified properly. Please disconnect an reconnect the ipod, then try again. If the problem persits, unintall and reintall itunes.' I have gone through all the support on the apple website, and uninstalled itunes numerous times and tried all usb ports to make sure there is no faults in that area but nothing seems to work. Just annoying how my ipod used to work perfectly fine before I downloaded the new version of itunes, thought updates were meant to improve the experience? Any help will be very much appreciated!
