IPod nano (5th Generation), Windows, get stuck in syncing after few songs

I try to sync smth like 3000 songs, and after few ones, it remain syncing for hours at one random.
Already tried to restore the iPod, uninstall iTunes, change USB port. Tried also with an another iPod, and worked...

I have a few suggestions for you today.
1st. try and sync a few songs at a time, 3000 songs at once can possibly freeze your pc.
2nd. try and reinstall itunes. : http://www.support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
how much memory is your Ipod?

  • When i go to sync my ipod nano 5th generation i get an error saying "A duplicate file name was specified".  what do i do then?

    I am trying to sync my iPod nano 5th generation to my computer and when i go to add music through iTunes i get the following message:
    The iPod "X's iPod" cannot be synced.  A duplicate file name was specified.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    On my computer (iMac) while in iTunes it is showing that the music is indeed on my iPod, but when i eject the iPod there is nothing there.

    I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes.  I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes.  What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC.  I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • IPod Nano 5th Generation Stuck in Recovery Mode even after Restore.

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.
    Currently it is stuck in "recovery mode".
    I have followed the steps given by Apple here on a Microsoft Windows system with the latest Apple iTunes software but after step 9 I am back to "recovery" mode where I am given the option of performing the restore process all over again.
    How can I restore this iPod Nano?
    Thank you.

  • TA44551 i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

    As I said in my previous reply:
    You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

    Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

    Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

  • I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

         I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

  • My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos  I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

  • My ipod nano 5th generation won't sync. It says disc cannot be found.

    My iPod nano 5th generation won't sync for some reason. It is almost like my PC is reading it as a regular mp3 player. I have to manually open itunes when I connect it.

    The computer won't see them as the same iPod despite the name.
    You might want to reload Windows on your computer or reinstall the USB root driver.

  • Nike + sensor isn't recognized by my iPod nano (5th generation)

    I've tried everything but I can't get my new iPOD nano (5th generation) to locate my sensor. I've tried rebooting the iPOD, I've tried turning the senor on and off a bunch of times and nothing. The battery isn't low. Any other suggestions?

    if you haven't already figured it out; you have to also have the Nike+ receiver - it's the little white plug that plugs into the bottom of the ipod nano
    there's MAJOR confusion among apple employees who say that the 5th generation ipod nano, which i recently bought, automatically detects the sensor - but it doesn't. You need the sensor AND the receiver.
    hope this helps; albeit a little late. cheers-

  • HT1473 i need a file to download audiobooks to ipod nano 5th generation

    I need a file to download audiobooks to my ipod nano 5th generation
    eg. .aa

    Original message:-
    I have tried every way but due to my ipod requiring iOS I cannot upload audiobooks. I can only upload audiobooks  made by Librivox. on iTunes
    I used another Website called "Audible", where with my Ipod nano 5th generation they gave me a file namely .aa which worked for me and I was able to upload audios of all kinds onto iTunes and my Ipod..
    Have iTunes any such files that I can use to do the same please? thank you.
    New Message:-
    Sorry my friend but you are not answering my question.
    Now you are asking me  "And what do you mean by 'have iTunes any such files' ?"
    and "have you checked to see if the site that you got them from have their own app in your country's app store ? Which is UK, is there a difference?
    I have an Ipod nano 5th Generation so I use "ITunes" yes? or "Apple" if you prefer that?
    Now when I download audiobooks on to iTunes  I cannot transfer those audiobooks from iTunes  on to my ( Ipod nano 5th Generation) because ITunes STORE tell me that I need iOS  which is NOT on my player although when I purchased the player it advertised it downloaded Music and Audiobooks OK?
    Yet when I went to another site "Audible" THEY had a file to facilitate my player WHICH allowed me to download both music and audiobooks:)
    Now all I'm asking you is does "ITunes" have any such software to allow me to do the same to get my audiobooks downloaded?  Thank You.
