Ipod Nano as a Removable Harddrive

I had to use a school scanner to scan some of my illustrations and finally managed to put the PSD files onto my ipod nano - but now I don't know how to get to them on my own mac. My ipod doesn't appear on my desktop - it only appears for a second or two before it just disappears and I don't know where to find it. Anyone know how I can fix this? I really need to access these files.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod? Please Help Soon.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

ITunes doesn't recognize IPod Nano 7th Generation

ITunes doesn't recognize my IPod Nano 7th Generation. I get a message saying "An IPod has been detected but could not be identified properly". My Windows 7 computer shows the IPod Nano as a removable drive until I launch ITunes at which point it disappears from the list of removable drives. I even disabled my security software (Norton 360 but not Spybot S & D) and it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions..............Thanks

Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

My computer running Windows 8.1 no longer recognizes my 7th Generation Ipod Nano. I have removed and reinstalled the latest ITunes software and it still doesn't recognize my Ipod.

I previously installed my Ipod Nano 7th generation in Itunes, Windows 8.1. When I have recently connected, Itunes does not recognize it. I removed and reinstalled the latest Itunes software, but no success. Message says that Itunes sees an Ipod is connected, but does not recognize it. The USB connection is working fine, as I recharged the Ipod without problem.

Hello Lynn,

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.

Hello Norman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.

Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

Ipod Nano Being recognized as a removable disk on Laptop.

Hello, i am currently downloading music for a freind on their new Ipod Nano (7th Gen). They did not set up the ipod, as i took it home to put music on it right as they opened it and asked me to. I set it up on my Mac (unfortuantly) and then proceded to connect it to my library on my Laptop (PC) but when i did, it read the Ipod as a removable disc, and not an ipod. Itunes does not recognize it in any way either. It only shows up as a removable disc under My Computer.I then found out that i need to uninstall the mac version of the software from my ipod and reinstall the PC version of the software on it so it is compatable for my laptop, but whenever i try to format, or restore the ipod, it just goes into disk mode and still wont show up on my computer as anything but a removable disc.I tried putting music on it from windows media player but then it said i needed to reformat it, so i went ahead and formated the ipod. After doing so, i was able to put music on it from my documents, but i wasnt able to operate the ipod in any way as it had reverted into Disk Mode as a result of the formatting. Unfortuantly, my ipod was still not showing up in itunes so i could install the software to make the ipod compattable with my laptop. Please help!!! This has been haunting me for the past month and a half, any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

Are you using iTunes 7? There are issues with iPod sync on some Windows boxes. You might wish to regress to iTunes 6.0.5.

"I have 2 ipod nanos (one 3rd Generation and other 4th Generation)"
No you don't. There are only two generations of iPod nano.
Try changing the drive letter of the iPod.

How to remove an engraving from an iPod nano 6th generation?

Anyone has any idea how to remove the engraving from an iPod nano 6th generation?

You would have to grind it out but it is doubtful there is enough metal left for that without damaging the iPod.

I bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

i bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

Connect the iPod Nano to your own iTunes library and restore it to factory settings. This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware onto the device.

Adding and Removing Tunes from iPod nano

I am a 68 year old man who has loved music for many years and has an extensive music collection so my kids gave me an iPodnano for Christmas 2007. I hardly touched it for over a year because of fear of and unfamiliarity with new technologies but recently decided to give it a try.
My fears were well-founded. I don't know how it happened but lots of things are on my iPod that I don't know how they got there and that I want to remove and I also have lots of songs that I want to add to the iPod but I can do neither.
I read the manual for the 3d generation iPod I have and it did not bhelp. To remove songs the manual states, " In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list." When I turn on iTunes there is no "source list" taht I can find. The same thing happens when the manual refers to a "Devices" icon which I cannot find either. And although I can see what tunes I have on my iPod by looking at it, I don't know how to make what I have on my iPod appear on my computer scrteen when I'm in iTunes.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated or else my iPod nano is pretty much useless to me.
Thanks.

the source list on itunes is the grey blue section on the left hand side of itunes, where it lists your libraries and the store.
When the ipod is connected to the computer you will see devices on the left hand side of itunes between itunes store and playlists.
if the ipod is not showing there I would try another USB port on the computer (if on a desk top use the back of the tower).
If still not showing at that point I would make sure you are running the proper system for the unit.
Try those steps first and if still having the issure of the ipod not showing there are other steps on the support pages or you can call apple but if the ipod is over a year old they will have to charge you to walk you through steps on the phone but they can email you for free the articles that will solve the issue at that point.
