  • IPod Nano song syncing problem

    I have 2 ipod nanos (5th and 3rd gen) and I have noticed some of the songs will not play ( they show up on the ipod though) but they work fine on itunes. everything is up to date, the songs are checked and it's not anything obvious. I have tried resetting are restoring the ipods but no luck. I have noticed all the songs that won't play have ID3 tags- v2.3 and LAME3.98. i know very little of what that means so can some help me understand how i can get these songs working again. I'm almost positive that the Id3 and lame are the reason though.

    Doese anyone know how could it work?

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • Question: Problem Syncing some songs in ipod nano 6th gen

    Hi all,
    So I've been having some problems syncing songs over to my new Ipod nano 6th gen. Whenever I try to sync, this message pops up:
    This happened before with another song, and I just ignored it, and after checking my iPod, it had synced anyways. However, some songs do not seem to do this. I've tried changing the file format from mp3 to wav, finding other copies, deleting it from iTunes and then re-loading it. Nothing seems to work. The songs that won't sync work fine on iTunes, and I can play it from my computer, whether from iTunes or Windows Media Player, but it refuses to go on my ipod. >.< If anyone has encountered this problem and knows how to fix it, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you actually add these songs to your iTunes library and move their physical location or is iTunes referencing them in another location? Sounds like the latter in which case they won't be synced to the Nano.

  • Smart Playlist Song Order Problem on iPod Nano 6th G

    recently i got an iPod Nano 6th G after years of using my iPod Classic 5.5G, and so far it has been a bliss actually if it wasnt for one small thing
    i have a somewhat large collection of music that i have - with a few exceptions - put in one big smart playlist with the rules provided in the pic to fit my needs
    on my old iPod Classic when i sync it i find it in the ipod in the same ordered that shows on my iTunes, but with my iPod Nano that is no longer the case.... even the the same playlist in my iPod have the songs in the exact order as it is in my library on iTunes, once i unblug it the play list on iPod becomes arranged alphabetically by artist and obviousely that is my problem
    so if anyone could guid me to correct it or even the cause of it i'ld be very thankful

    Can someone point me to a forum somewhere where I can get help with this? I'm obviously posting to the wrong place. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Receive error message, The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  iPod nano 6th Gen, all latest updates, Macbook Pro, with OS 10.6.7

    Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7.  This is getting frustrating.  I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once.  I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod.  I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad.  This is the only device that has this issue.

    I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

    Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
    To do this:
    1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
    2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
    3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
    4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
    The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

  • 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, wierd functionality problems

    I got this ipod nano 6th gen refurbished from apple a year back.  I just started using it and found that after I synced it with my itunes, i have the following problems :
    1. The screen display is opposite than my previous ipod (landscape vs portrait).
    2. I have to manually change to next song most of the time.
    3. When I change songs, it plays a song a few seconds and then skips a few before stopping on a song.
    4. The song playing is not the song displayed on the screen.
    Tried restoring to factory settings.  Same issues.    Can someone help?

    Hi zenpal1,
    If you are having multiple issues with your iPod nano that persist after a factory restore, you may need to have your iPod evaluated or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

  • Cannot sync iPod nano 6th gen

    I created playlists on my computer, dropped them onto my iPod nano 6th generation, and they appear on the left side of my computer screen.  When I disconnect the nano, the playlists are not on it. Problem seems reklated to not being able to sync. I get "unknown error"-cannot sync. 

    What is the full wording  of the error message you are receviving? 
    Is the playlist configured to sync to your iPod from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

  • Sync address book & iCal in iPod nano (6th Gen)?

    hello all,
    today I switched from an ancient iPod to a brandnew iPod nano 6th Gen. To my utter surprise there seems to be no (straightforward) way to sync my address book or iCal...? Needless to say, the olden iPod offered that feature. Have I overlooked something???
    Thanks and Regards,
    Georg

    hello planb77,
    thanks for your fast reply! Unfortunately it is as feared... Of course you are right in that I could have spotted the missing functionality in the User Guide. However, nobody documents the functions they leave out -> you need a list of required functions and compare it with the available functions... :-(
    I understand that Apple wants to differentiate the nano from e.g. the touch. But leaving out such basic functions which were even present in the iPod 1G is a sure way to p*** off even the most loyal customers. I buy Apple products (at a higher price) because I want things to simply work! If I wanted problems, I would by my PCs - or my MP3-players in the dept store around the corner. Arrggghhh!!!

  • ITunes freeze when I'm trying to sync podcast on my iPod nano 6th generation

    Hello,
    when I'm trying to sync podcasts on my iPod nano 6th gen. from iTunes 10.6 iTunes freeze, and i close it from Forcing exit.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • 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.

  • I have an ipod nano 6th generation and I am having serious problems updating it to version 1.2.

    Hi all,
    I just got myself an ipod nano 6th gen like in july and i love it. But i have been trying to download the update and it always says there is a error- the internet connection timed out yet i can be doing other stuff with the internet at that time, Facebooking, downloading, watching videos so it's not the internet and this has happened alot.
    When i first got my ipod, I was using a windows machine now i have a macbook and i wonder if that could be the problem because under format on the ipod it says windows...
    Has this happened to anyone else? I really need some help...
    Also, I have seen alot of complaints about the software update over the internet from other ipod nano users, if there is anyone who didn't get affected please let me know, I don't want to download it to only make my ipod act up....
    Thanks!!

    Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
    Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.
