Ipod nano 7g syncs all smartlists except one which arrives empty

I'm running a new nano 7th generation.  Windows 7 64bit / iTunes 11.4. It seems to operate fine, I've used it a few days.
I've set up several smart playlists. All the playlists sync properly to the nano, except for one which arrives empty.  When looking at the nano via iTunes, that playlist has 315 tunes.  When looking at the nano directly, that playlist has 0 tunes.
I've tried "clicking" it on and off of the list of playlists to send (in the iPod control area) and applied the change. Playlist arrives empty..
I've tried deleting the playlist from iTunes, syncing, and recreating it. Playlist arrives empty.
In both of these tests, the 56 unique tunes (out of 315) invoked by the playlist are properly synced off the nano and back on.  It's only the playlist itself that thinks it's empty -- the tunes are there.
Can't figure out the problem.  Is there a work-around I can try?

Sounds like something on your computer is messing them up.
I have had 8 5th gen Nano's
You mean 3rd gen nano.

  • My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

  • 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.

  • Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer

    Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer.  One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.

    It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple.  See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

  • My ipod won't sync songs-not even one!

    I have 1GB nano and it hasn't been working for a while. It was originally saying that "itunes cannot detect the ipod" but I realised that was because it was trying to sync all of my songs which were more than 1GB. Then I pressed a couple of things and deleted all the songs off my ipod by accident(They're still in the library though). Then I unchecked all of my songs except one so it only had to sync one song but it won't even do that! When I press sync it comes up with the little bar at the top but the bar doesn't fill up and it just stops trying to sync. Can anyone help?

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't get my 4gig ipod nano to sync or restore settings.

    I can't get my 4gig Ipod nano to sync or restore factory settings.  My playlist is good and all songs have been checked and work right.  I get an error for no disc found when I try to sync up with my songs even when ipod is in disc mode.  When I try to restore the settings i get an error 1463 and it won't let me restore.  So I am kind of a loss of what to do.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9).  How can I get them back?  I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

    My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased.  When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found." 

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please
    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

    Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
    This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
    My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac,  MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
    Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
    EX: left"
    Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
    2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
    3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
    4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
    EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
    Enjoy!
