IPod Nano Sync Help: Using "Checked songs only" feature

Hi
I just got an 8 gb nano and not used to selecting only part of my library for ipod sync(used to have a 20gb)
Problem: Sync not doing what i would expect
What i have done: I have unchecked most of my library so that it will fit in my ipod (i am not sure how many are checked/uncheked)
Also I have choosen the "only sync selected playlists"
What i want to do: i want to sync all the playlists + only checked songs
When i choose sync all playlists it tells me that the library dosen't fit
then, if i do "slected playlists" + checked songs, it only syncs the songs that are in the playlists and not all the checked songs
What is the hirerarky in the two options: is the "sync checked songs only" more iporatnt than the playlists
how can i get both : the checked songs only + my playlists?
thank you in advanced for your help

This issue has been posted several times; try to search for "ipod skipping songs".

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer or set up via wifi? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9).  How can I get them back?  I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

    My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased.  When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found." 

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • HT1351 I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop.  Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod to the new laptop.  How do I sync to the new computer?

    I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop.  Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod nano to the new laptop.  How do I change the sync to the new laptop?

    If you have access to your old laptop (and it's still working), ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC.  If you can and want to do it that way, please post back.
    Otherwise, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping songs!

    Please help! I have been having trouble with my ipod nano 5th generation skipping and fast forwarding songs. I have done a hard reset of the ipod nano which helped for about a day. However, the next day this problem started again. When I walk with it, it begins to skip songs, fast forward songs and act as if there is something pressing the buttons. A male voice will begin reading off songs on a playlist I'm not even on. This problem has rendered my ipod basically useless and I don't know what to do! I even locked the ipod so touching the click wheel wouldn't do anything; however, there was no success in fixing this problem. Also, I turned off the playback feature 'shake' and I feel like it still thinks that that option is on! I feel that maybe my click wheel is short circuiting. However, I am not sure. Any advice would help me! Thanks!

    Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.

  • I have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't turn off, change songs, turn volume down. song stays stuck and nothing works at all. any ideas??

    i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

  • Entire Itunes library will not download to Ipod nano! All is checked and it says it synced but it will only put the few new purchased songs on my ipod.

    My son deleted the music from my Ipod.  I pulled up my Itunes on a new computer with windows 8 and pluged in the Ipod and my music reappeared.  However, I then purchased new music and the new music would not download.  I am not sure what I did but now the new music is on my ipod and all the old music is gone.  When I am in my itunes account all the songs are selected and when I hit sync it is still only syncing the newly purchased songs.  How can I get my entire library back on my ipod?

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?
