IPod Nano crashes iTunes

Hi, every time we time we connect my daughter's 4th generation iPod Nano it crashes iTunes. The iPod is just a year old. It has worked fine until a week ago. iTunes runs fine on its own.
We also sync an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and the new Nano. We do not have a problem with these.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing the problem with the 4th Gen Nano?

I am really upset. I have an ipod classic 2 years old. I plugged in my ipod into the computer to create a new playlist. I started adding music to my list and after a few minutes and then itunes crashed. I closed the program and tried again. started ok then crashed again. I tried to close the program and it finally closed and totally erased my ipod 10,600+ songs GONE! Now most of those songs cannot be easily replaced. I am a music teacher and use it everyday to do my job. Now I am stuck redoing it. After restoring the original settings and a disk check, my ipod still crashes itunes. Even before it did this. I would randomly get songs that just would not play that would before. What do I do now. I am really mad!

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.

How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

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

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

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

Is it possible to find the serial of the last connected device (iPod Nano) in itunes?

Is it possible to find the serial of the last connected device (iPod Nano) in itunes? Was stolen, trying to get info on my device.

iTunes will only show the serial number for iOS devices backed up using iTunes (and the iPod nano is not an iOS device). For alternative ways to find the serial number, see:
On your iPod packaging
If you still have the original packaging for your iPod, you can find your serial number on the barcode label that's affixed to the packaging.
On your iPod invoice or receipt
Some retailers may include the serial number of your iPod on the receipt.
Online at My Support Profile
If you used your Apple ID to register or purchase your iPod, you may find the serial number listed in My Support Profile (available in the United States and Canada). Log in with your Apple ID and find your iPod in the My Products box on the main page:
From iPod: How to find the serial number.

Did you already try the suggestions mentioned in this article? iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

When you connect ipod nano to itunes is there a way to stop it deleteing the albums on it if they are not on my laptop anymore

Yes, do not set it to automatic sync, and if these albums are purchases in iTunes, then you need to transfer them to your iTunes library. If you attempt to sync the device the music sync is one way, only from the library to the device. If this is music you did not purchase, but is on the iPod, you will need to get some 3rd party software to extract it from the iPod to put in the library. Touchcopy from Wide Angle Software is one choice. I have used it before and it does a lot more than music, and it works on both the Windows and Mac platforms.

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

Hello rachel167,

Ensure you use every step.
Hope this helps.

Synchronising iPod Nano to iTunes?

I have uploaded music from a CD to my iPod Nano through iTunes on my laptop. The music is loaded on the Nano and plays fine but when I click to update Nano from iTunes, iTunes displays a dialogue box saying that the songs I uploaded from the CD could not be updated on the Nano because they are missing! BUT they are not missing on the Nano...can I synchronise iTunes with the iPod Nano (which is correct)?

"If this is the case and you have set yuor synchronization to manual, then your songs exist only on the iPod and not in your iTunes library. This is by design"
Hang on a second here. That's not altogether true.
Even if the ipod were set to transfer songs manually, they have to be first imported into the iTunes library, and then manually dragged to the iPod.
After that, the songs stay in iTunes, unless you purposely delete them.
"Did you copy directly from the CD to your Nano?"
You cannot copy songs from direct from the cd. They have to imported to iTunes first before they can be transferred to the iPod.

On connecting my iPod NANO to iTunes the music list of songs is FADED I cannot change of listen to except through the earphones.

Was it ever in this iTunes library?
What happens when you try to redownload it via:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
What happens when you try to sync?
If the songs are not in your iTunes library how do y expect them to sync to the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
