Ipod nano problems

OK, I just purchased 3 ipod nano's. One for myself, one for my son, and one for my friend's daughter. I somehow have connected both mine and my friend's daughter's to my itunes which is no good because she will need to use her's on her own itunes. How do I get her ipod off of my itunes so she can set up her own itunes on her own computer?
Also how do I remove songs from her nano??

try reset & software update and asking on iPod nano section, in iPod Nano section

IPod Nano Problem with Turning On

Right I've got a bit of a problem with turning on the nano. I know it works because when its on it's fine, but if its off for a while (i.e. 30 mins or more) and I go to press play or whatever, nothing happens. But if I press any of the buttons about 100 times it will come on and work fine.
Has anyone had this problem and know if there's anything I can do about it. It seems like the buttons don't work properly, but it can't be that because they work when its on.
Here's what I know it's not:
Battery (its full)
In need of a restore (tried that)
Reset (tried that)
In need of new software (just put the latest on)
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Oh also, completely off subject just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, how do you do backwards deletes on a mac (i.e. what the 'del' button does on a PC)?

AliasailA, you are kidding, right??
You cannot use someone else's serial number or Apple Care Plan--it doesn't work that way.
I noticed you had another post that said the mini was given to you and has a "sad face icon" and out of warranty. Hummmm.
You really have to send that mini in for repair/replacement or consider it a lost cause. Maybe it is time to buy an iPod Nano for yourself.

Several iPod nano problems

i got my ipod nano yesterday but i'm already having problems.
as soon as i downloaded itunes it put all songs i had on my computer onto my ipod. no big deal. then i started importing some of my cds onto itunes and then onto my ipod. again no big deal. then i went ahead and bought three songs off of itunes and put those onto my ipod. then why the ipod was still hooked up to the computer i tried to listen to one of the songs i bought. it played for 21 seconds and then it went onto the next song. and that next song played out just fine. so i went to a song that had come off of one of my cds and it played until 1:21 and then went to the next song. and most other songs would cut off at various times whether the ipod was plugged or unplugged from the computer.
so frustrated i google ipod help and come upon the 5 r's that apple has set up. i reset my ipod. nothing changed. i restarted my computer. nothing changed. and i downloaded the updater and restored my ipod. so after i restored my ipod, i put all my songs back onto my ipod. and now none of the songs will play. i press music and artists or whatever and it shows the song as if it's going to play but it doesnt and it goes to the next song and shows as if its going to play and it doesnt.
can anyone please help me?

janey, my sympathies. I have had a few minis, a shuffle, and now a nano, and at various times each of them has gone nuts on me for no apparent reason. With a history of four machines, and three different computers (I am now using a brand new dell xps 200) I can't seem to get these guys to work correctly for very long. They are design marvels, but otherwise, from my vantage point, they stink. Call apple and they will replace it, and qwickly. Once they are bad, they stay bad.

New iPod nano -problem when sharing account with old ipod

my ipod nano disappears from itunes, yet is still connected, so I'm unable to import music. Anything I do import goes to the shared account. I can't update my nano and it's all very disappointing. what can I do?

Go through the Apple troubleshooting steps and see if that solves the problem. Find those here:

Also, try charging it over night. Keep in mind that your computer has to be on for the iPod to charge while connected to the USB connection.

1Gb iPod nano problem

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I am having trouble with my iPod Nano 1Gb. The battery
was still plenty strong when the iPod went off. No sound. When I try to start it again I get a folder icon with an exclamation point on top of it and the URL apple.com/support/ipod underneath. I tried hooking it up to my iBook and got a message that reads 'you have connected a volume that the macintosh doesn't recognize' and it gives me the option to 'ignore'or 'initialize'. Does anyone out there have any input on this dilemma? You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

Hi
It's possible your nano got corrupted.
You can try the 5rs http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Typically you'll be able to solve your problem.
However, I think simply initializing your nano will solve the problem. However, it will erase all the data on the nano, so it's not advisable if you have songs you don't want to lose.

ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?

I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
At this point, what should I do?

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

IPod nano Problem with Nike+iPod

Yesterday, I just got a new 3G Black iPod nano 8 GB. Sooner today, while looking its features, I found out about Nike+iPod application. Since this is my first iPod, I had no idea what it was. It was asking for the receiver to be connected. I thought that the receiver was actually the USB Charger, so I inserted it. Now it's stuck on the screen asking for the receiver to be attached. I pressed any button I could and tried everything as well. Nothing happened.
What should I do? I suppose that when it is discharched, it will be able to work again, but since it's not playing music, I suppose that the battery will last for pretty much time...
HELP!
Edit: Excuse me, wrong category...
Message was edited by: Ash/AP

You will need to reset your Nano by holding down the center and menu buttons until the Apple appears on the screen.
The Nike+ Sport kit is a device that attaches to the dock connector of your iPod and has a transmitter that goes in your shoe. Without that, the menu function on the Nano doesn't do much.

Impossible Ipod Nano problems:1-syncing issues, 2-iTunes won't work at all

My ipod nano started with saying my playlists cannot be synced due to the fact that "no playlists exist"...when they are all obviously there in iTunes.
Then I uninstalled QuickTime & iTunes...then reinstalled them... my ipod would only recognize the Jessica's Ipod Selection playlist.
Then I deleted that, like before when I made my other playlists, in the hope that my other playlists would work
Then it was saying the thing about how my playlists won't sync because they don't exist..again.
Then I reinstalled itunes, + quicktime again..then installed them. Now it is saying "The File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Please, can someone help me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jess

There are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2265732&tstart=0
Or there's this one which I've also found useful but 32 bit XP only : http://www.revouninstaller.com/
You'd be doing the forced uninstall which specifically to get program left overs.
For a free 30 day trial there's also this but I haven't tested it as I have the first two : http://download.cnet.com/Total-Uninstall/3010-2096_4-11117407.html?tag=mncol

Ipod Nano problem - always restoring itself

Can anyone please help me? I bought my ipod just under a year ago (2nd Nov) but Apple says its out of warranty.
1st gen ipod nano 4gb, windows XP Pro, itunes (v7.0.1.8) and ipod (v1.3)
When i connect it to iTunes, and transfer music to it, if switches itself off and says 'file cannot be found' or something like that. then when it reconnects to itunes, it has just lost all the music i transfered to it! This has happened about 6 times in the last few weeks.
I have tried all of the following:
reinstall itunes
new usb lead
restore ipod
update ipod and itunes
reboot PC
reboot ipod
cry lots lol
I am going to be so gutted if my ipod is broken, and I cant work out what else to do.
Please someone help me - also if i have receipt for purchase of ipod, will apple believe it is still in warranty?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What kind of noise are you getting? If the sounds were a clicking kind of sound:
When clicking and selecting something while on your iPod, it is natural that it sometimes makes some clicking sounds, as it is accessing the hard drive, so it can play a song, for example.
If the clicking sounds seem to be especially rythemic, that isn't good.
The first thing to do is reset your iPod.
Also, see this link; the Five R's may be worth a try:
The Five R's
If you could describe the noise for us, that would be good.
I hope this helps.

If you no longer have your original PC and you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation:

I have no clue what happened... has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know how to fix it? Please respond ASAP!

Hi Molly,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Copying songs from your iPod to your computer
"The iTunes library on your computer holds all the songs you've encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Music Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the songs in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can't see the songs iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can't copy these song files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is always one way: from iTunes to iPod.
If you've erased the music library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the songs from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer. One solution is to encode the songs from your CD collection again, then sync your new library with iPod. If you purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store and didn't back them up, there's no way to download them again. You'll have to buy new copies of the songs."
Taken from Using your iPod as a hard disk
So even if there were any tracks on your iPod, Apple has set it so you shouldn't be able to get them back.
You need to reload iTunes with music, and then get into the habit of backing them up as well. Once you've done that you can start loading onto the nano.
To help with backing up your music this link will explain what the files are:
What are the iTunes library files?
If you have problems with your nano here is a useful link:

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME WITH MY IPOD NANO PROBLEM???

I just Got My nano the other day and i put all the songs that i have into it. One Problem, After i started putting pictues in it, on my ipod in the settings/ about, the space left doesnt seem to be going down, however it goes down on the ipod info screen in itunes as i add things

Artwork takes up a relatively small amount of space (depending on the image size) so you may not notice any significant reductions in used space until you have added a lot of artwork.

Ipod Nano Problem sync/playing - Any help greatly appreciated

I've looked through the forum for others with problems but none seem to match mine. I am here on behalf of my girlfriend who has had a nano for christmas and up to now been using it fine, but this morning she tried connecting it to the computer and when she plugged the cable in it gave the "synchronising" message with the rotating arrows but then after a few seconds just gives the "safe to disconnect" message and goes back to the main screen, without even appearing on itunes. on top of that, the ipod will not play any songs, when you push play the icon changes in the corner to say its playing but the time bar stays in the same position and no music can be heard.
I have tried resetting the ipod, going into disk mode, using diagnostics mode. restarting the computer, using another usb port, reinstalling itunes. nothing is shifting it. cant format it or restore as it doesnt get to connect to itunes in the first place. any help would be amazing as i dont want to have to send it back to apple. thankyou.
