Ipod Nano: Sync won't complete

I've been trying to sync an Ipod nano with Itunes. The clip in question is "Jack Jack Attack". It synced fine on one of my kid's Ipod's, but it gets stuck on the other kid's Ipod. It gets about two thirds of they way through the sync and then just stays there. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with registration that other people in this discussion section mentioned. The problem only occurred with the Ipod that is having sync problems. Eventually the registration did work, but I don't know if it is a symptom of some other problem.

It's not Jack-Jack Attach that's the problem. The sync is hanging up on the last clip in any sync. Somehow Itunes can't complete its mission.

TS1363 ipod nano sync problem

My new ipod nano 7th won't sync with my computer, but it will with my husband's computer. And his 2nd gen will sync with both his and my computer. So why won't my new one sync with mine?

When you say sync, do you mean sync with iTunes? Or you are checking if the ipod nano is seen under devices of your computer? If the latter is what you mean, in iTunes > ipod select the option "disk use" so that your ipod nano will be listed in your computer's devices. Cheers!

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.

IPod Nano 8gb Won't Sync Whole Library

I just got a new MacBook Pro and a new Nano and when I try to sync my library it syncs all but 2 songs and I dont know why. I am not out of space on my iPod it just won't put 2 songs on it and I don't know which ones they are. The first time it synced my iPod it synced all but one song now it is 2. All of my music is legit too. It is all imported from my cds or purchased from the iTunes music store so I know its not a corrupted file or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried resetting your iPod or go through any of the 5 R's? You may also want to make sure your Library doesn't contain any duplicate tracks. If this is the case, then the iPod may be skipping duplicates. This may not be the issue, but it doesn't hurt to check. Got to the top of iTunes and select View-->Show Duplicates. Another question is something that may seem like a stupid one, but just checking all possibilites....do you have files in your library that are not music tracks? Such as videos?

IPod Nano (8G) won't sync

I got an iPod Nano for Christmas and after I had installed it into my computer it was operating just fine. But a week ago I went to sync up some new music and it wouldn't let me. I got a messege stating that "an unknown error had occurred". I tried everything I know to do, but I still get that error message. I ran a diagnostics and the USB ports are working fine, along with everything else. However, it says that it isn't recognizing my iPod. I have two, and the other is having the same problem. Do you have any idea what may be happening, and how I might be able to solve the problem? I initially thought it was my iPod and so I sent it to Apple to have them check it out. But now that I'm having similar problems with my old iPod I'm beginning to think that it may be a problem with my computer. Can you possibly shed some light on this?

Had the exact same problem with mine. This may or may not be the answer to your problem but - the guy at the apple store told us that the new nano isn't equiped to be used with some of the older audio systems. Mind you mine is a Bose speaker docking station that we bought Christmas of 2005, but I digress. The problem is apparently that too much juice rushes through the Nano and fries it. They replaced mine since I didn't have it more than 90 days.
Hope this helps...

IPod Nano 4GB won't connect!! help please!

ok so here's my problem::
i lost my original USB 2.0 charger cord and i got a new one yesterday. same thing..
only thing is, my iPod won't charge now. first, i plugged it into the laptop, and it said i needed to download iTunes. i did that & still didn't work. then, i tried charging it on the original computer i used to install my iPod when i got it. it still wont work. i tried the directions in the book the iPod Nano came with, and that didn't work..
!!HELP!!

The fifth generation iPods do not support synchronization through FireWire because they don't have the hardware component to include this. The component was dropped in part because syncing your entire iTunes library normally only needs to be done once unless the iPod is restored, and it will take longer for the iPod to fully charge than it will take to complete the synchronization through USB, and partially to make the iPod slightly smaller and save money. The time difference needed for subsequent synchronizations isn't nearly as noticeable.

Ipod nano sync error 13019 - I've tried everything suggested.Now I Have a blank Nano. Any suggestions?

Now I have a blank nano.

Hello RonTheStockGuy,
I agree with Ingo2711. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
The steps are kinda long but they work.
This is for windows computers with iPod nano that get the error 13019 during or after a sync with iTunes.
-Open itunes
--click, edit, click preferences
--select advanced
---make a note of the iTunes media folder location on a notepad.
---put a check in organize files
---take the check out of copy files
---click ok
--Click file, at the top of iTunes
--move mouse over library, select organize, and consolidate files. ( This ensures all music in you iTunes will be in the iTunes media folder later.)
At this point, if you have playlists you want to save:
-Create a folder on your desktop, call it, playlists
--Hover you mouse over your playlist in iTunes, should be at the bottom of the blue/grey column on the left.
--right click the playlist, select export playlist
--Navigate to your desktop and open the playlist folder and save.
---Do this for each playlist you want to save
-Close itunes
-Click your start button, and open computer or my computer
--Using what you wrote down on your note pad, follow the path to the "iTunes folder", NOT the iTunes media folder
--Open the iTunes folder.
--Stop here
-You will see icons that look like folders and you will see icons that look like files-
-You will KEEP the FOLDERS
-You will DELETE the FILES
--If it makes you more comfortable you can cut the files out and paste on your desktop, but as of now we do not need the files any longer as we have the playlists backed up. Remember-Keep the folders.
--That was the magic--
-Disconnect your iPod if connected.
-When you open your iTunes, it will be empty, that is OK. We are recreating the library. Everything will come back in a few seconds.
-Click file at the top
--Select, add FOLDER to library, not to be confused with add file.
--In the window that pops up, locate and click on computer or my computer
--From here follow the path to the iTunes media folder on your note pad, but do not open the iTunes media folder.
--Click the iTunes music/media folder one time so it highlights.
--On the bottom right you will have option to select folder, or choose folder or OK. Hit that button.
All you music will start to import back into iTunes.
-Plug in iPod after completed
--a message pops up about being synced with a different library.
--Click erase and sync
--Watch all your songs go on your iPod with no error message.
From here you may sync your iPod the way you want with out worrying about the persnickety error 13019!!!!!
Hope this helps!!!
Julian
p.s. Follow the directions exactly.
p.s.s. To add your playlists back to iTunes:
-Click file at the top of the screen
--move your mouse over library, selecte import playlist
--on the new screen that pops up, navigate to your desktop
--open the playlist folder, select the first playlist, hit ok
--repeat for each playlist exported

Yup, same old...my iPod Nano 6 won't recognize on my Windows or iTune

My iPod Nano 6 started having this issue about a week ago and it's driving me insane! I can't get it to recognize in either Windows or iTune. I had this iPod Nano 6 for a little over 3 months and never had this issue.
I usually leave my iPhone 3 and iPod Nano 6 plugged into my laptop (only pc I have)USB port when they are not in use (or overnight) so they are fully charged up when I use them. But about a week ago when I woke up and started my PC from "sleep or hibernate" mode noticed that my ipod nano is not seen in either Windows iTunes but my iPhone 3 is recognized in iTune just fine.
I have tried many things to get my iPod Nano to be recognized by iTune. I made sure iTune is the latest version. Reset my iPod. Restored iPod Nano to factory setting. Swapped sync cable with my iphone. But come to find out only way I can get my iPod to be recognized in Windows or iTunes is by deinstalling my iTune then reinstalling it. Then same issue happens again day or two later when I wake up and check my iPod. I have reinstalled my iTunes three times already this week. Something else that have been going on since I owned my iPod Nano: it completely powers off itself for no reason even though battery is fully charged This happens even when its plugged into USB port on my laptop. I have to restart it by holding down the “menu+minus” buttons to turn it back on. I am not sure if this issue is related to my original post, however. So question is how do I fix this issue?

It's been well over a week with my nano directly plugged into my laptop usb port and old issue hasn't come back. For experiment purpose, I connected the nano to rocketfish usb hub so that only device connected to hub is my nano and wireless transmitter for mouse...but my iphone is plugged directly into laptop usb port. No issue with this setup either. So it appears that my usb hub is indeed underpowered and can't support both my iphone and nano simultaneously only if my laptop is allowed to goto sleep, hibernate, or shutdown.
Still baffles me why only nano is affected. Also, why is usb hub being "underpowered" even an issue when all apple devices are fully charged? What actually is getting corrupted inside my nano?

New ipod nano(5gen) won't turn on

So I got my new iPod Nano(5th generation) a few days ago. I put it in the computer to charge, it synced all the music to it, I eject it from the computer and the screen flares up with all the music and everything, but the moment I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on. I tried the hold/center+menu thing, it doesn't work. I left the battery to charge, it still won't turn on. I am not sure what else I can do, it simply won't turn on unless it's connected to the computer.

I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on
Did you eject the iPod first before disconnecting?
Hold button on or off?
Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual and if the solution cannot be found there, call iPod Nano tech support.

IPod Nano Sync with Mac, but iPod formatted for Windows

I finally changed to the Mac platform and all my iPods and iPhones were synced with a Windows based computer. While my iPhones were not a problem, my iPod Nano (4GB 2nd generation) seemed not be recognized by my iMac.
I can't seem to get my iMac to show the iPod under Devices to reformat it. Anyone have any advice to give?
I have plugged it in to a my Windows based work laptop and it seems to work fine. However I don't sync with that machine and I have already sold my old Windows based computer it was synced to.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have three iPods: 40GB iPod photo, 2GB black iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle. Each one has it's own playlist to auto sync songs from (technically, the 40GB iPod is synchronized manually, but the other two have playlists to sync automatically from). They each have different names so iTunes knows they're each different. So, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping just two iPods separate with your Mac mini or iMac.
