IPod Nano (3rd gen.) will sync but music is not uploaded

I previosuly wanted to format my iPod with Disk Utility (since it would not mount on iTunes) and a very knowledgable person on this site assisted me - now when I connect the iPod to iTunes, it appears as a device!!  But...
I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it.  Why? ...and how do I fix it? When I click on the iPod in ITunes, it states that there is 0.76GB of Audio files (in blue), 0.05GB of other files (in yellow) and 6.3GB of Free Space (in grey) but when disconnected, no music???
Thanks again!

I have the same problem.  Not sure it is a Yosemite issue.  I can connect to one machine but not the other.  Very strange.  I have even tried reinstalling the Nano software.  If I sent the device to Disk mode then I can mount it on the machine that it will not work with, but iTunes does not see it.  If I disable the disk mode then it seams iTunes un-mounts the device after a few seconds.  Annoying.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
    'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
    'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
    that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

  • HT1399 problem with playlist sync of  ipod nano 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I added and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why?

    Since I got the last update of itunes, my 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I created and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why and what I can do to cure the problem?

    if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen won't accept music

    So, I just bought an ipod nano 3rd generation off of Craigslist.
    Now, the guy said that the iPod worked. When I got it home, I was looking through the music already on it when it froze. I don't know if this caused my problem, but I just plugged it in from its frozen state into my computer.
    I reset it to factory settings, then started loading music onto it. iTunes showed that it was loading all of this music onto my iPod. But, every time I eject it, the iPod shows that I have none. Does anybody know how to help me? I'm tired of being iPodless. :/

    I am able to sncy my daughters i pod which is a 3rd gen, but my 3nd gen will not sync.  It comes on like it is syncing for just a few seconds then dissapears

    Did you try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button untilt the Apple logo comes up again? You will not lose data doing this.
    Is there a certain step in the sync process when the ipod stops syncing? Does it stay visible in the device list after it stoped syncing?

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

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen went mad then all the songs were gone can I get them back

    My iPod nano 3rd gen wiped all my music can I recover it

    If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck. 
    For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live.  See this article for more details.

    As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

    ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp.   Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

    Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Nano 3rd Gen to my iTunes 9.1.1?

    My daughter mistakenly downloaded the latest iTunes version which does not work with my older iPod Nano 3rd gen.  Before all this happened I was running version 9.1.1 which was working beautifully.  After uninstalling the updated version and reinstalling the 9.1.1 version, I cannot restore nor sync my music to the iPod Nano.  I would just be happy having things the way they were previously.  Any tips???  Thanks.

    Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
