Ipod nano 7th recongised, but can't sync music onto it

my ipod 7th generation does get recongised by my computer, but it won't allow me to upload new things, nor delete old things on it.  It's not the same computer i first synced it to, because that computer crashed. But i would like to keep the music that's already on there, am i able to? please answer

You have to do it manually from where the songs are saved in your computer. Let me know if you need me to walk you through it.

  • I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

    I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • I can't sync music onto my iPod touch after restoring

    I have just restored and updated my iPod touch and now my music won't sync onto it. The music is still in my iTunes library and the "Sync music" box is ticked but the music will not sync onto my iPod.
    My apps are no longer in my iTunes library to sync onto my iPod. My photos are still on the device and the wifi settings are still the same.
    I have tried restoring and syncing my iPod touch again a few times and I get error message -54.
    Please help me :-(

    I can't find an iTunes error -54 anywhere, even from Google.
    I would try:
    Placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring. The iPod will be erased by recovery mode.
    Place in DFU mode and then restore.

  • Can't sync music onto iPhone 4 or 5

    A few months ago, I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 6.  It wiped out my music library, and I can't get it to sync.  I've tried many times to no avail.  My daughter got an iPhone 5 for Christmas, and I can't get her music to sync either. We are using iTunes 11. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    On a side note, I have had my iPhone for a while now, and up until recently it would sync music fine. Only within the past two or so months did this problem crop up.

  • Software is up to date, but can't sync music on my 3rd gen iPod.

    Before I begin, I wanna clarify... my iTunes software is up to date, and I've turned my computer on & off to help resolve this.
    Last night, for the first time, I couldn't sync one music purchase on my iPod.  The sync would complete, but my song never appeared on my iPod.  During that same sync attempt, a message popped up claiming that 2 of my OLDER songs couldn't be synced because "an error occurred." Never happened before with those songs or other music purchases!  Also tried clicking on transferring purchases just in case that was the issue.  My new song never appeared.
    Then today, when I went to try again the whole sync stopped.  Up popped an error message with a big red "X" saying my iPod couldn't be synced.  Wth is going on- any ideas?  Help!

    Tried both resetting and restoring.  As predicted, the restoration process wiped out all my music.  When I went to re-sync, everything returned except one old Napster song from a couple years ago...and ALL the songs I've purchased on iTunes are GONE.  Poof. Now it's worse.

  • ITunes sees my iPod Nano 7th Gen, but there is no "On This iPod" tab to acces and manage what is on my iPod.

    Ever since I used the pedometer there is a "Nike + iPod" tab but no "On This iPod" tab. I can't get in to delete or add media.

    In case anyone has this problem, customer support enlightened me to "ctl + S" to bing up a side bar onthe left that now allows me to manage my iPod in iTunes.

  • Can't sync music onto new itouch

    I received a replacment Itouch because of issues with my previous one. I am now trying to get my music library on to my new Itouch and it does not work. How do I get all of my information onto my new ipod? Everytime i try to sync, it won't go past step 1.
    Thanks!!

    The first step is creating a backup.  Try either deleting the existing backup file or moving it to a safe place.  It is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • I can't see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation)

    I can’t see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation), but I can see and play them on the iTunes on my laptop. What do I do?

    Hi lone_dreamr,
    This is going to depend on how you are syncing music to your iPod nano. If you are automatically syncing, what option do you have selected in this menu? (Entire music library, or Selected content)
    You may want to uncheck the "Sync Music" box, apply the changes, then recheck the box, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:
