Ipod nano 6th gen cant download files into it anymore

So i try to download podcasts and music but it wont let me anymore, it says a file is missing.

Connect it to your computer. Click on the name of your iPod under DEVICES in the far left frame. Move to the Summary tab to your right and click on "Manually Manage My Music".
You will have to manually drag your music/podcasts from iTunes to your iPod and you will have to manually eject your iPod when you are through syncing.

HT1364 how can i download from my itunes list to my ipod nano 6th gen ?

hi can anyone out there help me i purcheased a song from itunes it down loaded to my itunes list on laptop but i cant download that song onto my ipod nano 6th gen even thoe it reconises my ipod as before i use to just plug my ipod into the laptop and select down load and it would atomaticly down load song onto my ipod now it wont do that have anyone got any idea why please ?

It works the same way it has always worked.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
There is no "download" option when an iDevice is connected as content does not get downloaded to devices. Content gets downloaded from iTunes to the computer.
Try using the correct terminology and possibly reading the User's Guide... that may allow you to figure this out on your own or ask an intelligent question to get a resolution.

My ipod nano 6th gen will only turn on when plugged into a power source.

My ipod nano 6th gen ONLY turns on when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as I unplug it, it turns off. I also tried to reset it and it did not help. Any suggestions?

Howdy mela1223,
If I understand correctly your iPod will not stay on unless you have the charger plugged in even after resetting it. Normally this would indicate a hardware issue that would need a repair but to cover all the bases before that, the last troubleshooting that can be done for it would be to restore it with iTunes on a computer.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Will there be a download for existing ipod nano 6th gen owners?

I just wanted to know if existing ipod nano 6th gen owners will be able to download an update for the new features?

There seems to be some confusion about old vs new 6th gen nanos and this update.
What was announced was ONLY a software update. For those of you that bought your Nano 6th Gen last year, you will get ALL the features noted in the release yesterday.
The most common confusion seems to relate to the fitness app and using the step count dongle with Nike+. There is NO NEW HARDWARE in the Nano to allow the device to work without the dongle. The folks at Apple have worked their software Mojo to allow the accelerometer to do the job of the dongle that used to get stuck in your shoe.
Hope that helps,

My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook. I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod. What am I doing wrong?

Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes? Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

Hey, the stand-by button on my iPod nano 6th generation has been pushed into the iPod, I guess after being pressed a lot, to the point were it doesn't work, what do I do to fix this???

You'll need to take or send the iPod in for service or repair either via Apple or a third party company that does repair work on iPods.

Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized by itunes

I recently updated my version of itunes and now whenever I plug in my ipod nano 6th gen an error message pops up saying it doesn't recognize my ipod. Why odes this even happen?

For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

Ipod Nano 6th gen not syncing mp3s after itunes 11.1.4.62 update

As the title says, after updating itunes to the 11.1.4.62 update, and everything that doing that successfully involved such as completely uninstalling all Apple software and then reinstalling itunes, my ipod nano 6th gen will not allow itunes to sync any mp3 files to it. The only way to get any new files onto it is to let the ipod convert them into AAC files when you transfer, even though all other music files on the ipod are, and have always been, mp3 files. Everything worked fine before the latest itunes update, I could sync mp3 files to the ipod nano with no problems.
Anyone know of a solution to this issue, or whether Apple are working on a solution for this obviously botched itunes update?
Thanks in advance.

Moving music from ipod nano 6th gen to a new itunes llibrary

I have an ipod nano 6th gen that was originally synced to a laptop which has broken. all the music is gone but is still on my ipod. how can i transfer this music to my new laptop? is there any free/trustworthy programs available or are there settings that i must set my itunes library to? Please help, this will benefit many of my family members.

Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
You can now sync your ipod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.

My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
Thanks

I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
