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.

  • 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?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen, not synching with itunes

    My ipod is not showing up in itunes - it shows up in 'my comp' but not in itunes.  On my ipod screen it synchs for approx 5secs then stops and i get a box with 'an ipod has been detected but was not recognised'  i have tried all the suggestions on the site but no joy.  I live really far away from a store so travelling to a genius bar isn't really possible.  Anyone have any suggstions?  Also is it possible to restore the 6th gen - as i cannot synch to itunes?

    anyone?

  • 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.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen not syncing and prompted to re-install iTunes

    my iPod Nano 6th Gen connects on my computer but not recognized by iTunes. I have already tried reinstalling the software as prompted by it but nothing happens

  • 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.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognized in itunes

    I recently purchased a used "AS IS" ipod nano 6th gen. The only problem with it is that it's not recognized by iTunes. I was fairly sure on purchasing it that solving this would be as simple as resetting it, or, at worst, figure it out by googling the problem. The method involving holding down the sleep/wake button and volume down for 8 seconds until the apple logo appears didn't help. Putting it in disk mode didn't help. I have a mac and I suspect the original owner of the ipod may have used windows, so I tried both of these things again with my dad's PC. I at least got some response--an error message saying the usb device couldn't be read or something of that sort (I can look up the exact message again tomorrow if it's relevant).
    I don't think it's the USB plug or cord, because both of these work with my iphone and another ipod nano in the household. I don't think it's itunes either, for the same reason. I'm running Lion, fully up-to-date, on a Macbook Pro. ITunes is also fully up-to-date.
    I wouldn't be devastated if I can't fix it, since it still charges and plays music (the previous owner's hip-hop/club type music works pretty well for workouts), and it's probably not worth it to me to pay Apple to repair it. But…if anyone has any suggestions for things I can try to get it totally working, I'd love to hear them!

    solved it :-)
    Apparently it's not enough to reinstall iTunes itself, but all mobile device software should be uninstalled, then your pc has to be rebooted and then iTunes has to be installed again.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen not syncing despite reset

    My Dad's iPod Nano 6th generation is not syncing with iTunes. He used it first with iTunes on a MacMini G4 and – with later versions of iTunes – ran into trouble while syncing. Now he owns a Mac Mini mid 2010 with a brand new installation of Mavericks on an erased and reformatted harddrive.
    Software's all up-to-date but the iPod still does not sync. It's being recognized and being found spotless by the harddrive tool. iTunes will just show it in the sidebar with no further info on the content of the iPod being displayed except the colored bar at the bottom indicating 430+ songs on the thing. No copying manually is working.
    Switching syncing options to manual and back do not help either, nor does a restart (of either iTunes or the Mac).
    I have reset the iPod but the result in iTunes is now that there is a welcome screen with button «more». As soon as I click that the iPod disappears from the sidebar – with no further action or option.
    I'd be glad to get any help here!

    Figured out the solution: I quit iTunes, dragged the "com.apple.iTunes.plist" file (located in Library –> Preferences) to the desktop and reopened iTunes. After confirming the t&c pop-up I plugged in the iPod and it's window appeared again in full, letting me sync contents once again.

  • 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 Touch (1st Gen) not syncing with iTunes 11.0.4

    I own an iPod touch 1st generation and for some reason it won't sync music properly with the latest version of iTunes. This problem has been going on for about 6 months. I have found some way around it but it involves wiping the iPod entirely and then syncing it with my iTunes. This, however, is a very long process and I want to know if there is a solution. I do understand that this is a very old iPod (c. 2005) but I've had it from new and other than this problem it works perfectly fine and has a decent battery life. I don't really care much for apps I just want to be able to listen to my music on the train without having to fork out for a new iPod or iPhone.

    I would try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

    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?
