IPod Nano and iTunes 7

Hello,
I just got an iPod Nano three days ago. The box does not say what generation, so I would assume it's the latest (4th generation)? When you rotate the nano, the image will rotate also. The back of the box shows Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3); iTunes 8.
My computer at work has the Windows XP with iTunes 8. I have download the latest software for the iPod Nano.
My computer at home has Windows 2000 with iTunes 7, why can't I use iTunes 7 to download and add songs to my iPod Nano?
Thank you,
-Shannon

Because the 4th Generation Nano is not compatible with Windows 2000 nor iTunes 7, changes have been made to the firmware for video, video rentals, etc. that requires the newer OSs and software.
You can use Xplay with Windows 2000 and the 4th Gen Nano.

I bought an iPod nano and Itunes does recognize the iPod but when I try to sync it will not let me.

I bought an iPod nano and Itunes does recognize the iPod but when I try to sync it will not let me. What now?

How do you know it will not let you? Are you getting an error message? What is the error message?

Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks

IPod Nano and iTunes - can't edit Library

I have an iPod Nano, and just downloaded iTunes 11.3 for Windows. I can see my iPod Library, but I can't edit it - i.e. delete songs to make room to add new. Can anyone help?

Hey there Bayvette,
You will want to use these instructions to help you sync music onto your iPod, keeping in mind that you can uncheck any music you want to remove from your iPod and it will be removed when you initialize the syncing process:

IPod Nano and iTunes 5.0.1 - Crash on sync

Whenever I connect my iPod nano to my laptop using iTunes 5.0.1, it appears in the panel on the left and a preferences box appears to enable me to set up my nano. I enter all the details I want, and click OK.
Then I get a nice crash message asking me whether I want to close or debug the application using the Just In Time debugger and iTunes closes either way.
Reverting to iTunes 4.9 on the nano CD seems to have solved the problem, but I still have sporadic problems where during a transfer, iTunes says it cannot communicate with the nano.
Anyone know how I can the 5.0.1 to work properly, or should I just wait for the next version?

I thought it was just ipod, maybe because I was playing movie files from it, but now I see other people are having problems. My 3G ipod is crashing or stalling when connected to to my computer via firewire. At first everyting looks normal, the "Do not disconnect" sign flashes a few times, but then the hard drive starts clicking and the screen on the ipod freezes (no flashing). And if I try to access it from the computer it crashes any program on which I try to do so, including Finder.
Right now, it did that and I forced restarted the ipod. As soon as I did that, all of the stalled programs on my computer started working fine. The ipod is now connected and flashing, but now it doesn't even show up on the computer, so I don't know how to eject it. I was able to get it to work once last night, but I forgot how. Apple, if other people are having this or similar problems, please fix it.

Two iPod nanos and iTunes

We just bought 2 nanos and now of course are paranoid about scratches.
I have been creating libraries and moving them to my iPod. When I hook my wife's up is it automatically going to synch my libraries onto her iPod as well?
Is there a way to not have that happen? Can I create her libraries and direct iTunes to only move them when I connect her iPod to the computer?
Thanks
Darryl

Darryl,
I think you need to get your terminology right as it does not sound like you understand iTunes fully yet.
On your computer you have iTunes and it has one and only one library of music. This contains all the music loaded on to your computer from CD's or bought from the music store, etc.
What I think you have been creating are Playlists, i.e lists of songs that exist in your library.
You can use as many iPods on your computer as you like and each can be set up to have different contents selected by you.
To do this you need to connect the iPod you want to put music onto, and then in iTunes go to the preferences section and go to the iPod preferences area, specifically the music tab. Once there you can tell iTunes to automatically sync only a selection of specific playlists. Once done your iPod will only contain those playlists selected.
You can now connect the other iPod and do the same thing, selecting any list of playlist you like.
Can I suggest you read up about iTunes a little more, there are some great online tutorials here :-

And a very specific one for the question you have, here :-

Ipod nano and itunes 7.3

so, is it just my ipod or this happens to everyone else?
i upgraded the new itunes 7.3 because it keeps popping up and it's annoying, and it's recommended. Although I'm sure it's for the new iphone.
But anyway, now it doesn't show the available space remained on my ipod.
My question is this: is there an option to view the available space remained on the new itunes 7.3? or do i have to reinstall an earlier version to see that information?
Thanks
ipod nano Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1gig

As 0Ari0 said, it should still be there on the bottom of the iPod Summary Screen. Is it not there? Or do you mean something else?
Perhaps that bar at the bottom is showing something besides Memory Usage? If it is, you can click that bar until it shows what you want it to display.
I hope this helps! Post back!

IPod nano and iTunes U

I'm getting conflicting information. The iPod nano manuel suggests that I can use iTunes U. But when I click to where I can learn more, it only shows iPod touch and iPhone. Can I use iTunes U or not?

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

30g iPod classic and 8g iPod nano and iTunes

I have been running very well with my 30g classic. I got an 8g nano as an award. I had just upgraded iTunes, tried hooking the nano up and now nothing works! iTunes never did find the nano. Did the r,r,r,r,r thing but could only reset because iTunes can not see the nano. Later I was syncing the 30g and was ejecting it and got a message stating it could not be ejected as there are files on it being used by another program. Did the 5R's on he 30g, the unit was syncing and the battery went low and interrupted the sync. Now iTunes can't see the 30g or the 8g. I did a reinstall of iTunes and still nothing. This is driving me to drink, HELP if you can. hank, reo52.............

Well, I sent the Nano in, it came back, Apple found no problems with it. When trying to sync it acted as before. With Apple on the phone I tried syncing to my wifes machine!?? I'll be dammed it synced right up!???! Well Apples says it works because it works on my wifes machine!! Well, why wont it work on my PC?!!. Both machines are running up to date iTunes, both have the same firewalls and virus programs and both are running XP with all service packs and updates installed. Now I can work around this for awile but I have got to get that Nano to sync with my machine. Help if you can and Thanks again, reo52

while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the itunes sourcelist, click on that little triangle you see next to the ipod icon. when the triangle is pointing downwards, you should see "Music" and a list of the playlists on the ipod. click on one of those to show the contents of the ipod, or the contents of a particular playlist on the ipod,
