IPod Nano (6th gen) will not sync.
Okay, I have an iPod Nano (6th generation) that won't sync. I've reset the iPod many times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, done all the suggestions given by the troubleshooting assistant, and still nothing. When I plug it in, it turns on and begins charging, but the computer doesn't do anything. It doesn't make a little sound, it doesn't say it recognized a device. It just does nothing. I'm not in a serious rush to fix this, but I recently got some new podcasts that I REALLY want to sync on there. Does anybody have suggestions? I seriously need help.
I just did the same. Spent at least two hours trying different actions. Then uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. Also used a different USB port, etc. Also rebooted computer. No option for syncing is showing up on Itunes and when I run diagnostics it says there is no device detected- yet it is plugged into a USB port and the screen on the Nano says connected. HELP

IPod nano 6th gen will not charge or sync
iPod nano with neither charge or sync. I have reset and run through all the troubleshooting suggestions. I have used different cables, power blocks, tried plugging into both USB ports on computer. All software is up to date.
Nano will play and everything operates but power is diminishing.
Any suggestions I have not thought of?Just tried again after an hour and the situation seems to have resolved.

IPod Nano 2ed Gen will not sync my songs.
I have recently bought a Saosin (Bonus Track) album for a single song. I got the song and am extremely happy, so as I'm about to go to town earlier today, I put my iPod in to sync and update my songs. (Also, I originally couldn't download the album because it required the latest iTunes, I downloaded it, installed it, rebooted my PC, and all was fine.) It says its syncing and just instantly stops. I check to see if my iPod software is all up to date, and it is. (2ed Gen Nano) I manually hit the sync button on the bottom right, and it says "The iPod "Trent's iPod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." I also noticed that the "Updating, do not disconnect" thing doesn't come up on my Nano as I've told it to update, and it originally has, so I'm even more confused.
I need help, I actually have a fair amount of new songs I need synced onto my iPod. Music is my passion, my iPod is with me at all times, not being able to update my new music onto my iPod is a bummer.
Message was edited by: xIRageIxI've encountered the same problem as this recently, but unfortunately i haven't worked out how to fix it yet.
I tried to fit too many songs on my ipod nano from itunes, and it told me it would create a selection of these (titled my songs) and put them on the nano, which it did. I then went back onto itunes to delete some songs so that they would all fit on the nano. I also deleted the "my songs" playlist, knowing that all the songs were still stored under Music on itunes. When i tried to sync the nano it said that it couldn't be synced as the required disk cannot be found.

My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.
My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?
Hey s.mccarter2010,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPod won't turn on
If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

My ipod nano 7th gen. will not advance to the next song, it will keep playing the current song until manually changed. All updates are current.
I had this issue with my 6th generation nano. It was driving me nuts, until I realized that somehow locked the repeat button on. Selecting one song rather than a selection will cause whatever song you have selected to play over and over and over and over..

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

Hi meganisawsome,

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out
my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.
I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now. -
Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls
any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !
Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.
