Ipod nano HELP files currupt!!!

Please help, I have been trying to transfer music onto my nano for the past 2 days. At first it will only sync about 10 songs, so I resync and it takes about 30 min to sync 5 more songs. After that it tells me that my "files cant be snyced file directory is currupted or undeadable" and it will delet all of the songs previously put onto the nano!!! Ive tried everything 5R's, new ports, new drive...Help!!!

Have you verified that that particular USB port on your machine is producing the required 500 mA of power for the iPod? Often, ports mounted on the front of the machine have a slightly lower power output. To verify, you may wish to try plugging it into a different port (preferrably one on the back of your machine,) or into a powered USB 2.0 hub.

Cannot open ipod nano 6 file in my computer

When trying open ipod nano 6 file in windows my computer windows cannot file metadata_never_index. How is the file opened?

I had this same problem after my nano crashed today. I hooked my nano up to my laptop and restored it, but after that iTunes still wouldn't recognize the nano. My computer opened the nano showing the file "METADATA_NEVER_INDEX File". I tried to open it and it asked me to choose a program to open it with, so I selected iTunes (becasue I thought maybe it had lost iTunes and that's why it wouldn't work). Now that I see your comment, I think I may have really messed things up here....
Since doing all that I have reinstalled iTunes on my laptop and my nano has synced and is playing music ok, but if I open it on my computer it still shows that metadata_never_index file as an iTunes program. Do I have to reset something in my nano to unattach that file from the iTunes program or should it be ok? I'm also wondering if I should just restore my nano again - would that set it back to the unidentified file setting? Like I said, the nano seems to be playing ok, so maybe it's nothing to worry about. My system is Windows XP.
Hope you can help!

Corrupt file error - ipod nano (HELP!)

Each time that I put a new CD into my computer and add it to my iTunes library so that I can transfer the songs onto my iPod nano I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already. This happened again yesterday and this time ALL of the songs on my iPod were erased! I don't know what the problem is and why I'm getting this "corrupt file" message. I need help - does anyone know what I can do?

hiya!
I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already.
it's plausible here that you're getting the drive-confusion-related version of the chkdsk (based on the fact that you're constantly getting the iPod setup assistant).
see:
Da Gopha: chkdsk errors
and:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Ipod nano help

Okay, My ipod nano charges on my car charger, and when I plug it in to the computer, it does not. I know that the cord is not bad because I have bought a new one and tried my sister's. If the back light is off it will turn on when I plug it into the usb port. It is not recognized by itunes or windows XP...I have been on here for days trying to figure it out! I have reset it countless times and deleted registry files.......Can some one please help?!

Itunes ipod Nano Help!!!

I have an ipod nano 1gb. On itunes i upgraded to the newer one. now i could only add less than 27 song. The capacity is now 896 MB. I use to can add more than 90 songs on my 1gb ipod nano. anybody know how this can be fixed?
Thanks

first question is is there a setting i can choose
(either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make
the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the
default?
No.
however, most
of my songs require a program called NJStar
Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese
characters -
I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

Ipod nano help with syncing music to new computer?

I have two ipod nanos, one 6th gen. the other 7th gen, and the laptop I had all the music on and synced from cant be accessed anymore, so how can I get the music onto a different computer and be able to sync new music to them?

Thanks! I did it again using my iPod again. (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
What am I supposed to do with the iTunes folder that is now on my desktop from the step below:
Copy music to new computer
To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Drag the iTunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
Can I just delete that?

IPod Nano Help! Stops song then resets by its self.

I have a iPod nano 4G (1st Genaration) and when i go to shuffle my songs, a song starts to play. But then when I skip to the next song, It doesn't play it and then it resets by its self. Any help would be great.

It may not solve the problem, but just turn shuffle off when you're listening to your music so that you can hear it, at least.

I can't do anything with my iPod Nano, help urgently!!!

Hi!
The other day I was trying to update my iPod nano with the latest iPod software but the program went frozen so I can't do anything. I disconnected the iPod -even when in the iPod window appears the "Do not disconnect"- and I saw that all the songs I had were gone, I tried to connect it again but since that day appears the same "Do not disconnect" but in My PC only appears a new disk unity and in my iTunes doesn't appear anything. I tried to enter to the disk unity but I can't and when I disconnect the iPod, it appears a message of "nothing could be written in the unity G" or something.
Please, if somebody could help me I would thanks forever!

Try resetting the iPod: plug it into the wall charger, switch the hold button On and Off, and hold the center button and Menu for about 8 seconds. If that doesn't work, try the other 4 R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
As a sidenote: when you want to disconnect, you have to either do it through iTunes (click on the grey arrow next to the iPod icon on the left hand side of the iTunes screen), or through Windows Hardware Manager (in the taskbar on the bottom of the screen, double click the icon of a grey box with a green arrow in it-select the iPod & click Stop>OK).

IPod nano help - "cannot read contents of..."

Hi,
I have a new iPod Nano and it currently has no songs on it. Whenever I plug it in, this message comes up on iTunes: "Cannot read contents of the iPod "DON". Use the iPod Updater to restore the iPod to factory settings."
I have two iPods, one is my new nano and one is a regular iPod. My regular iPod works fine on iTunes, but I just can't seem to get my iPod Nano to be recognized by iTunes. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I actually tried via sharepod, and iexplorer, but it still had the error telling me theres no data on the device the ipod on its own functions normally and still has all it's data on it. the only last thing i could come up with is redownload all my songs its taken me a long time but i hope restoring it will solve my problem!

TS1363 iPod Nano Help

Hi, I just got an iPod Nano 1st generation and I plugged it into my computer and open iTunes but it never showed up in iTunes. So then I updated my iTunes to the latest version but it still didn't show up so is there a way you all can help me A.S.AP.

Reloaded itunes still no joy
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

IPod Nano HELP!!!!!! PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!

Not all the time but sometimes when I charge my iPod nano mu iTunees will say iPod updated but when I unplug my ipod nano all the songs will erased of all iPod but there still on my iTunes. This has happened more then once. PLz HELP!!!!

Are you making sure to eject your iPod before disconnecting it?
While you are charging your Nano, you may want to click on the iPod icon under your playlists in iTunes, and see if any songs are on it. If not, your iPod may be set to manually update, which means you'd have to drag the songs you want to your iPod, as opposed to iTunes doing it automatically.

TS1424 I don't know how or where to turn on the genius feature on my Ipod Nano - HELP

I don't know how to turn on the genius feature on my Ipod Nano....Can someone tell me how? Thanks peeps!

copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine.
