IPod Nano (2nd Gen) wont sync with Itunes 9
I haven't had to sync my iPod for a while, so I think it might be an issue with Itunes 9, but I am not sure.
I have a 2nd gen nano, and itunes recognises it when I plug it in, my iPod display the Do not disconnect thing, but it doesnt sync. I have it set to manually manage music, but that won't make any difference will it? Under "file" the option to Sync Songs on iPod is greyed out.
Does anyone know what to do about this? i'm really annoyed as I do not want to restore my iPod as I have some music on it that I can't find anymore (think it went missing when I moved my library 2 years ago)
i didnt realised iTunes had been changed so you had to physically drag the music you wanted on the iPod onto there yourself.
You don't have to. Only if you want to manually manage the music yourself.
i decided to just automatically sync it, but now it has wiped everything off, and is putting it all back on again! will it do that every time
No.

Ipod Nano 7th Gen not syncing with Itunes
My 1 week old nano wont sync with Itunes anymore. I have tried rebooting it and reinstalling Itunes too, but nothing is working. It is connecting at random time but not everytime I try connecting it. I once plugged it into a different desktop and it shut down, after that it isnt connecting properly with my system. Is this the problem here?
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:

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. -
2/3 Of my 4GB Ipod Nanos (2nd gen), wont sync movies.
So yeah I have three 4GB 2nd gen Ipod nanos, and two of them refuse to sync movies, and have trouble syncing music most of the time as well.
When I try to sync a movie it says syncing Ipod for about 5 seconds then says sync complete, which isnt true...Ive looked through all the support FAQ and whatnot, and find it extremely difficult to find anything helpful.
And now I found these discussions! YAY for hope!
Help?Check your settings for syncing movies with those iPods and make sure you are allowing already watched movies to by synced.

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?

i have tried everything that is recommended by apple to get my ipod shuffle 4th gen to sync with itunes or even show up on my computer does anyone have suggestions?
Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred? Are you working with a Mac or a PC? Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

Hi, I can't seem to get my ipod 32gb 4th gen to sync with itunes. It's brand new, but everytime I plug it in it says can't access Itunes store and nothing else happens. I enabled my firewall to allow itunes but it still can't access the store. Please help.
If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK. -

How do I Move Music from iPod Nano(2nd Gen) to Computer with Windows Vista?
I just got a new computer due to my old computer crashing so I'd like to transfer my music from my iPod Nano 2nd Generation to my new computer so I'll have a backup. I followed the directions listed below but they didn't work. Is it possible that it didn't work because I'm using Windows Vista? Is there anything else I can try?
1 - Open iTunes
2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
2c --- Click OK to store changes
3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to ‘Manually manage songs & playlists’ – click ‘OK’
6 – Eject iPod
7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
8 – File=>Add Folder
9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod (or the lower ‘\iPod_Control’ sub-folder)
10 - Click OK

I just noticed this question is under the iPod Nano First Generation discussion but I have a 2nd Generation
Message was edited by: bethyanneAll of the following programs should work with Vista.
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware. -

Ipod nano 2nd gen wont charge, or show up on itunes or the pc itself
hey my ipod nano 4gb when plugged in wont show up on my pc or in itunes. it doesnt even charge. i've tried restarting the computer and reinstalling itunes. other ipods work on it fine. ive tried it on other computers and it doesnt work either. i have a set of speakers and it charges and plays through them without any problems.
PLEASE HELP!I had the exact same problem!!!! As far as I know their no good solution exept what I did....
1. go back to the store
2. Explain the problem
3. Get them to take the iPod back and get another mp3 player that roughly costs the same. (I swapped my iPod for a creative zen-v...)
Good luck getting it to work or good luck in the store!!!
