IPod Nano 6th generation won't sync with iTunes.

I replaced the battery in my iPod Nano 6th generation and now it won't sync with iTunes. It shows in the list as iPod recognises that it is in recovery mode, so advises to restore. Press the restore button and after a time a message says can't find the iPod

do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. It *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

    My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

  • IPod nano 6th gen won't synch with iTunes 12.1.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 12.1.1.4 on my Windows 7 PC a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to synch my iPod nano 6th generation (SW version 1.2) with iTunes. I have followed Apple's instructions to uninstall all of my Apple SW, restart my PC, then install iTunes again, restart my PC, then attempt to synch. I get the same failure I had before re-installing iTunes. My iPod connects with the PC and displays an icon on iTunes. I can select the iPod icon on iTunes and select the menu items under "Settings" and "On My Device", and all of the music and podcasts stored on my iPod are displayed. But when I select "Synch", I get the following two error messages:
    1. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found.
    2. The iPod "Larry's iPod" cannot be synced. The disk is not available.
    I never had such problems with any prior version of iTunes during the several years I have owned my iPod. Help!
    Thank you.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

    Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

  • IPod nano (1st Gen) won't sync with iTunes 7

    I upgraded iTunes to latest version and now when I connect my Nano it does not sync the music. I have 382 tunes on my Nano and it loaded only 25 into the Library - this were all Music Store purchases strangely.
    Any ideas? I'm on XP by they way

    i say that even tho itunes 7 fixed holes in 6 its still totaly CRAP comapared to 5. and ya it half makes sense to put out a new itunes along with a new ipod gen. but still when the millions of ppl with the first gin have so many problems i dont see how apple isnt getting sued for exentialy sabotoging milions of peoples ipod. i mean when u pay at least $200 for something i would think it sould last more then8 months and not only am i having the itunes problems with sync but according to the guy that reinstalled windows on my laptop its itunes that made it crash and i found an article that thousands of other people had the same thing happen so if thats true thats around $500 ($200 for ipod and $300 for windows pro install cd) apple took from me

  • Ipod 6th Generation won't sync with Itunes but is being recognised as a device on windows

    Recently had to get my laptop set back to factory reset. I have reinstalled Itunes and uploaded my music back on Itunes but my Ipod wont sync. The Ipod itself is saying that it’s connected and my laptop is recognising it as a device and saying that it is working correctly. I’ve reset the Ipod and had a look at the firewall on my computer (Windows and the free Avast software) but everything seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas? 

    do you ever unplug your iPod without ejecting it first?

  • Ipod shuffle (1st generation) won't sync with iTunes 7.0.2.16

    iTunes locks when I attempt to load music from any music folder. iTunes will recognize my iPod after resetting it using the "iPod reset utility", but will lock if I try to drag and drop, or Autofill. However, iTunes will AUTOFILL from MUSIC folder at startup following use of "iPod reset utility". If I try to change the music or load a PODCAST, iPod locks and will not sync. I have tried the five r's, but no luck.

  • Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?

    Since I updated to itunes 11, my ipod nano 6th generation won't update?
    I wanted to add in my Christmas playlists and most recent purchases, when it wouldn't get past syncing the second song a couple of times, I tried restore and lost everything because it still wouldn't sync. Then I tried to sync to my old computer which isn't itunes 11, and doesn't have my latest songs on it. My ipod did sync then though, so it seems to be a conflict between my version of ipod nano and the latest version of iTunes??????
    Has anyone had the same problem? is there a solution??
