IPod Nano, downloading music - one way only??

Hi
I have just bought an iPod Nano (one of the earlier versions) and I have a question.
I know with iPod Classic, you can only load music onto the iPod from iTunes and that it DOES NOT work the other way round.
The Nano I have bought has come with 330 songs on it, but if they are not in my iTunes, will these be lost when I next try to put my own music onto the Nano??
Thanks in advance.
Andrea.

Still is one way, and you will lose these songs. But they aren't yours anyway so Restore the Nano and load your own music.

    I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library.  My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books.  I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.  Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it.  My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • My daughter has accidentally deleted all videos from her ipod nano - is there a way of retreiving them?

    my daughter has accidentally deleted all her videos on her ipod nano - is there any way of retreiving them?

    If your daughter owns a 5G Nano (the one with the camera built-in) and she deleted her recorded videos, I'm afraid you are out of luck. There is a small chance that some expensive data recovery solutions can recover some of that, but again the chances are slim.

  • Does iTunes allow multiple devices (iPod nano) to share one account?

    Does iTunes allow multiple devices (iPod nano) to share one account?

    Yes, Apple are keen for you to buy as many of their devices as your pocket will support.
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • HT4539 I  am very new to this...how do I sync my ipod to download music?

    I am new to this, how do I sync my ipod to download music?

    You have iTunes installed on your computer ? If not then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you connect your iPod to a USB port on your computer's iTunes then it should appear on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 installed then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side of iTunes you should be able to select the music that you want to sync to it.

  • Music downloads to iPod Nano from songs that are only available in iCloud.

    I'm trying to add music to my sons iPod Nano that myself and my older son have on our iPhone and iPod touch. When I try to copy these songs over to the Nano it tells me it cannot be copied because it is only available in iCloud. It then states I need to download the items from iCloud before they can be copied to the iPod. How to I download songs from iCloud that are currently showing in my music library?

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

  • HT1353 how can i put music in an ipod nano with no hard drive only flash drive

  • Can you use a mp3 player other then Ipod to download music

    I have an Iriver mp3 player and tried to download music to it. I have Limewire pro , i even tried added the start up disk that came with it and the computer does not even acknowledge it all. I use my usb and with a pc it would automatically go to my music file but not on my mac. I have the new leopard program and still no. Do they only want you to use Ipods??? If so that is not even fair. You have to buy each and every song from itunes. Mind you I did pay for the Limewire Pro. Help is there a way or do I have to buy an Ipod

    Your system should at least acknowledge any input. Make sure the box in Finder's preferences and iTunes preferences are checked. You should have a icon in the upper right corner telling you of a external devise located. One of these two boxes must not be checked. As far as loading music (downloading music) to it, I doubt it. It may be, I never tried. When I plug in my iPod, it shows, iTunes opens and it syncs. Than I get a message telling me it is OK to remove. The MP3 player, hooked up through the USB port should be displayed. Everything hooked up via USB displays. I wou gues it is a setting within iTunes preferences.

  • Can the Nano shuffle within one playlist only?

    I have 4 playlists set-up on my Nano. One for the Gym. One for easy listening. One for Jazz and one for Christmas. I would like to be able to choose one of those playlists and have the Nano shuffle within that playlist only.
    When I'm in the gym I don't Christmas music or easy listen to pop up. Unfortunately, when I select shuffle it shuffles all the songs on my Nano.
    Is there a way to shuffle within only the playlist I've selected? Thanks.

    That does not work for me.
    You need to select the playlist and press Play.
    Do not select Shuffle songs from the main menu.

  • Ipod nano deleting music problem

    i bought an ipod nano from disc replay for my 7 yr old stepson for christmas and i cant figure out how to delete the previous owners songs off of it and to add our own?

    Hey there JTharp2013,
    It sounds like the iPod nano has the previous owners music, and you would like to sync your music to it. You should be able to reset the device back to factory defaults, then use your library to sync your music over with your iTunes library.
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I found someone's Ipod Nano, is there any way to get it back to them?

    As the title says, I found someone's ipod nano, and I was wondering if there was any way to contact them? There was no personal information on the ipod nano, only songs. I noticed that it has a serial number however, so is it possible to track down the person by using the serial number?

    Sorry for the necro. I forgot to comment back here, but I managed to find the original owner (a few weeks after the first post) by posting a flyer close to where I found it: "Did you lose an ipod nano? If so, please contact me and tell me what music/playlists were in it." They hadn't registered their product but luckily they saw the poster and it's now safe and sound with its owner. That is, if he hasn't lost it again haha.

  • So is the 7th generation iPod Nano in fact a 6th generation iPod Nano with a software upgrade only ?

    I went to buy a 7th Generation Nano from a local Apple store and when I gto home to set it up, I found out that it had the old software (i.e. small icons and only two clock faces). I took it back to the Apple store and they informed me that it was the latest model (i.e. 6th gen) and that I had to update the Software to make it a 7th gen model..... this all seems contrary to the following article on the 7th gen tear down....

    Same thing with us.  We were told that no "new" stock was brought in to the store, just they lowered the price on the current xtg inventory, so buy it now as you don't need the nike kit.  Here's apple's own link showing gen 6 as current:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/#Nano
    Seems like a good way to inject a few more sales as the "new version" at the keynote got our attention.  The gen is moot for us as it seems to be working for us so far as it held a charge overnight powered off.  We still are testing that it doesn't drain down too fast for our uses running.  If it works for what you want, does it really matter what you or someone else wants to call it?
