Ipod nano new

had nano working fine...then
songs erased
when pluuging back into my mac (OSX), i get a "disk insertion"error. "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"...choices it gives..initialze, ignore, reject....initialize brings me to disk utility...., verify errors out.....
I have tried it on different macs in the house, same issue. i reset the nano, didn't work. it seems like a sofware thing???

In the future, it would be better to use the iPod updater and Restore the iPod. Disk utility may not always work, but the latest version of the iPod updater will make sure you have all the up to date software.

IPod Nano + new MacBook Pro

Hi,
I'm planning on getting my wife an iPod Nano for Xmas. I'll be using my MacBook Pro as the enabling/syncing computer for it.
My dilemma:
The bulk of the music my wife is likely to transfer to her new iPod is all located on hard CDs, i.e. not in my iTunes library.
Is my only solution to buy the Super CD/DVD drive for the MBPro, and then load the music into my iTunes library from which I can manually sync her stuff?
Or is there another solution not involving any additional hardware?
Many thanks for your help!
Andre

Thanks for your reply!
Actually, many of the CDs have been ripped into iTunes on my old iMac (2004, running OS X 10.4), which is still a viable machine (I still record with it), but the OS is incompatible with the newer versions of iTunes. In fact, the iTunes store doesn't even acknowledge that I have a legitimate copy of iTunes. So practically the only thing I can do with that iMac is transfer music into its iTunes library from sources like CDs.
The MacBook Pro I have is the retina display version, so buying the Super CD drive would be the way to go.
But your reply also hints at another solution that I had not considered:
I do have a external G drive with lots of capacity still. It does have a USB 2.0 port which works with the 3.0 ports on the MBP. I suppose I could transfer the iMac library contents as MP3s onto the G drive, and then load those into the iTunes library on the MBP. Would that work?
I think I may still get a CD/DVD drive for the MacBook, but this manual transfer may at least be a workaround of some kind.
Thanks again for your help.
Best,
Andre

Ipod nano (new) no sound on resumption

I have downloaded my audible books without problem, but when I resume listening the following day, having cancelled "hold", the reading starts up on the time bar but there is simply no sound.If I then reset I am returned to zero and have to scrub forward to the required position.
I have returned one iPod with this fault but the replacement has the same problem!!
Sony Vaio Windows XP

The jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headphones all the way in until the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

Hello,
I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
any input would be appreciated, thanks.

This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.
Hope this helps!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Just bought a 16gb Ipod Nano new and not working.

Plugged it into the 3 computers in the house and we are getting the same message, USB Device not recognised.
It is not charging and we are not getting any response from it at all. please help

If you have another Lightning cable available try it and also inspect the Lightning port on the Nano and clean it if necessary. If that doesn't work return it for another one.

Solved: New iPod nano 8g not seen in My Computer/iTunes after Apple Support

I received this iPod as a Christmas gift and it has taken months to get it working but I am happy to say I finally did. I wanted to post what I did to solve the problem in case anyone else is having the same issue.
Background Information:
- Windows XP operating system (I had to upgrade to SP 2 just for this iPod)
- Computer works fine with an older iPod nano
- New iPod nano would simply bring up the "Install Hardware Wizard" and always resulted in "Cannot Install Hardware"
- Nothing would show up in My Computer
- iPod would say "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" when it was connected
- Under "Services" iPod service was running & Started
- Under "Device Manager" iPod showed up under "Other Devices" with an exclamation/question mark for "iPod" (note: this did not show up under USB controllers)
What I Have Tried That Didn't Work:
- Downloading new iTunes. I did this a few times and ended up with 7.6.1.9
- Uninstall and reinstall iTunes and Quicktime
- Tried Install Hardware Wizard option to search for drivers in c:\WINNT\inf (or c:\windows\inf if that's what you have)
- Restarted computer several times and tried creating a new user in Windows XP
- Tried going to "Right-click-My Computer"-"Manage"-"Device Manager" and uninstalled any instance of iPod (under "Other Devices") and tried refreshing / re-installing
- Tried stopping and restarting the iPod service in "Services"
- Tried restarting iPod, resetting it, all those 5 R's and other Apple support docs online
- Tried finding answers in forums
- Finally today I spent a few hours on the phone with Apple Support, and after repeating everything in their self-help documents online, and it still didn't work, they said "Call Microsoft and tell them you have a driver issue" and that my new iPod needed some additional driver (which is why old iPod works but not new)
So that's where I left off this afternoon. I think I've seen people who haven't had much luck getting Microsoft support to help with iPod issues, so I continued searching online. I tried updating my Video driver from the Gateway.com website and that didn't work.
On the microsoft.com website, the best I could find was a registry change which told me to delete registry keys for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, which I didn't even have so I couldn't try.
Finally, here is the solution to what worked:
I searched for iPod - specific drivers, and on some random help forum - http://www.computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/43267.html
You'll see they mention "usbstor.inf" which needs to be in c:\winnt\inf (or c:\windows\inf). I checked my computer and it was missing. Luckily, it was there on my work laptop which was also recently upgraded to Windows XP so I e-mailed it to myself (glad I didn't have to trust some one online).
I also followed his directions to add "usbstor.sys" from c:\winnt\servicepack files\i386\ to c:\winnt\system32\drivers.
Lastly, I saw some other usb*.inf and usb*.pnf files on my laptop so I decided what-the-heck, I'll grab them all since I only had usbvideo.inf, and thus I extracted the following into my c:\winnt\inf directory: usb.inf, usb.pnf, usbport.inf, usbport.pnf, usbprint.pnf, usbprint.inf, usbstor.pnf, usbtor.inf.
I restarted my computer and right away my iPod magically appeared in MyComputer and when I opened iTunes, it was also successfully there. Funny thing is, Windows Install Hardware Wizard popped up and I pointed it to that directory -- guess what, it didn't work. Apparently that doesn't matter. Every time I plug in my iPod now, I will just skip the "Install New Hardware Wizard" and go straight to iTunes.
I know this was lengthy but I thought I could save some one else hours of checking around--- just go look in your "inf" directory and make sure you have the usbstor.inf file!
Good luck!!!!

Hi Simon,
There is only one iPod updater (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/):
iPod Updater 2006-01-10 includes iPod Software 1.1 for the new iPod, new iPod Software 1.1 for iPod nano, new iPod Software 1.2.1 for iPod with color display, new iPod Software 1.4.1 for iPod mini, and new iPod Software 3.1.1 for iPod with Click Wheel. iPod Updater 2006-01-10 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-11-17 for all other iPod models.
It recognises which iPod is plugged in when you attach it for update.

Problems while actualizing ipod nano!!!

Hi my name is james, I'm an ipod nano new user, yesterday while creating a new list in iTunes in order to erase some music in my ipod, I created one with nothing on it and then by accident I started to actualize the ipod, therefore all of my music was erased, but then, when I tried to actualize the ipod again by choosing "automatically actualize all song and lists", it seems that it starts charging the command and then an error message displays saying that the ipod couldn`t be actualized or read? and the ipod song list is empty, what's going on?
I would appreciate any help please, i'm so frustrated!!!

oh, i'm sorry i meant "updating" instead of actualizing, it's just that since i'm from mexico i tend to mix up words, sorry again about that.
ok, my problem it's solved,i don't know what happened but i plugged my ipod into my laptop and restored it from there 'cause my pc didn't recognized it anymore, and then when i reconected it to my pc everythnig was fine, i just don't know what happened.
anyways,
thanks for your time in trying to help me out, i really apreciate it.
See ya!

Using an iPod Nano and iPod Mini with one PC

I have an iPod Mini which I bought last year and I'm thinking of buying a Nano for my wife. I only have one Laptop PC. Can I use both iPods with one Laptop and update both from the already installed iTunes ? I don't want to create a second PC user ID/account. Will I have to load the iPod Nano s/w onto my Laptop and will this affect my Mini s/w or is it totally separate ? Are there any problems with using to different iPods on a single PC ?
Regards
Simon

I am trying to use itunes, it will not open at all, have uninstalled and downloaded new software and 64bit for windows. i have an old ipod nano from about 5 years ago. anything i can do, even to view my purchases and watch/listen to music etc?

ok i have a advent roma laptop with window 7. my itunes used to work fine, completely. every time i plugged in my ipod it was ok. recently my ipod was not working so i never bothered with itunes, however i have movies/tv prog that i purchased and would like to view them. i have an ipod nano from about 5 years ago, the problem with thet is, it switches on, but the circular control panel does nothing, all you can do is lock and unlock it - nothing else.
i tried to download new version of itunes, then uninstalled my origonal version, incase it was corrupted etc, i then again tried to down load new version and also version that is windows 64bit. still when i select the downlaod to open as son as it is finnished nothing happens. and now my desktop shortcut has dissapeared. before when it was there, id double click it, nothing, right click to open it, nothing.

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

I have many very old songs on my PC and want to move them to my new IPOD Nano 7th. How do I do this?

I want to put all of my real old songs in my PC library onto my new IPOD Nano 7th generation. How do I do this?

Import them into an iTunes library if needed, and then sync the iPod with that library.
