IPod Nano: Unable to remove cord

Have a new ipod nano. Everything works fine except the connecting plug will not come out of the dock. Any solutions

By squeezing the sides of the connection, the plug is easily pulled out.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod? Please Help Soon.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Ipod Nano - unable to upload photos

hi.
I recieved an ipod nano 8g for Christmas. I have been unable to successfully upload photos onto it. I do not have any songs on it yet so space shouldn't be an issue at all. I have a folder in my 'picutre' file designated for the photos I would like to have on the ipod and I have synced it via itunes as the directions require. So far, only 4 of the 25 photos show up on the ipod. Of them, 2 are so distorted that the photo is nearly impossible to view.
I have been on hold with apple for the last 25 minutes - but my call has yet to be picked up.

Having the same problem. Here's our post.

IPod Nano - unable to reset, no charge, DEAD

OK - my iPod Nano was working just fine and then the music stopped and the screen went blank.
I plugged it into the computer - no charge/no change and not recognized.
I plugged it into the wall outlet charger - no charge/no change.
I tried to reset it, but apparently I didn't because the screen is still black and it is not recognized by the computer/iTunes.
I'm thinking this guy is toast... please tell me I'm wrong!
Thanks,
Greg

Same with me gmkovich. Listened to it fine yesterday went to turn it on this morning and its dead! What is going on? We've spent a lot of money on the ipod and the songs. This isn't right. Of course I'm past the one year warranty.

Ipod Nano as a Removable Harddrive

I had to use a school scanner to scan some of my illustrations and finally managed to put the PSD files onto my ipod nano - but now I don't know how to get to them on my own mac. My ipod doesn't appear on my desktop - it only appears for a second or two before it just disappears and I don't know where to find it. Anyone know how I can fix this? I really need to access these files.

Troubleshooting 6th gen ipod nano "unable to identify ipod"

Just this evening I plugged my ipod in to my laptop and I continually recieve the message that says something along the lines of "unable to identify ipod". I ran through the trouble shooting tips on the support website, including new usb port, restart, uninstall-reinstall, and turning off my anti-virus. Is there something else I can do to get my computer to recognize my device? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your problem is completely different from the original post. The OP could not run the correct version of iTunes on their older computer. You're much more likely to get the help you need by starting your own thread with a properly descriptive subject line.
If you need instructions on how to start a new thread, see this link:

Best of luck.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help...have one unhappy 11yr old music lover!

Hi kumaradevan.g,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue syncing music to your iPod from a specific laptop. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that can help resolve the syncing issue that you described.
'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring…

ITunes doesn't recognize IPod Nano 7th Generation

ITunes doesn't recognize my IPod Nano 7th Generation. I get a message saying "An IPod has been detected but could not be identified properly". My Windows 7 computer shows the IPod Nano as a removable drive until I launch ITunes at which point it disappears from the list of removable drives. I even disabled my security software (Norton 360 but not Spybot S & D) and it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions..............Thanks

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes.

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes. I have windows 8 and have updated everything on my computer and followed all of the tutorials for syncing. My ipod is recognized and my itunes says "ipod sync is complete" but I dont have any music on my ipod still... Help Please!

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. If you have not set up anything to sync, iTunes will still sync, but sync nothing.
If you "updated everything," you probably have the new iTunes 12. Connect the iPod. Look on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), and click the "device button" (it looks like the connected device). This shows the iPod's "management" screen.
In the sidebar (along left side of window), under Settings, click Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Check the box for Sync Music, which enables automatic syncing for Music. NOTE: If that was box not checked already, and you manually added songs to the iPod previously, any songs on the iPod now that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.
Below that, if your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on your iPod completely, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select what you want to sync from the lists of playlists, artists, albums, and genres. The "capacity bar" at the bottom of the screen shows you how much space on the iPod you are using. A convenient way to do this is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put only the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. Or you can use existing playlists. Then, on the iPod's Music screen, only select (checkmark) the those playlists, under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod based on your selection on the iPod's Music screen. Going forward, changes in your iTunes music library sync automatically to the iPod (based on how you set up the iPod's Music screen). If you selected playlists to sync to the iPod, to update songs on the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes.

Ipod nano 5th gen, unable to 'erase all data'/reset

I'm trying to reset my 5th gen IPOD nano so i can give it to my niece, but I don't seem to have the 'erase all data' option under the settings menu. I've tried hitting menu and play/pause button to do a hard rest, but that doesn't work either. Uggghhh.
Also, does anyone know if she can just use it as an MP3 player without itunes?

40 min international Call to america:
the iPod is unable to work with smart playlists.
Only solution: 'converting' it into a static playlist by removing the "update automatically" tick at the smart playlist's options.
too bad =(

Ipod nano usb/lightning cord stuck in laptop

So I got a new ipod nano, the newest generation, and I synced it and everything, the ipod is fine, but the cable is now stuck in the usb port. I don't know how to get it out. I have an acer laptop, if that makes any difference.

This is certainly an interesting situation... It sounds as though part of the USB housing may have become jammed or otherwise tangled with the USB head of the lightening cord... Take this to a certified computer technician (not the genius bar, but an actuall computer surgeon) to have the laptop taken apart, and have the jack removed. The only thing I can think of is that one of the tabs that normally grab the two indentations on the USB head have become snagged inside the jack, thus LOCKING the usb head in the port...

My ipod nano is not showing up on my computer or itunes when I plug it in. I have reset it and restarted computer, I have also downloaded new itunes. My other ipod shows up fine so I know its not the computer or cord.

My ipod nano 6th generation is not showing up when I plug it into the computer. I have reset it and restarted the computer, I also have downloaded latest itunes. My other ipod nano shows up so I know its not the cord or computer. It is not showing up in itunes either.

That seems to be a clear indication of an issue with your iPod and not your PC or USB cable. Have you tried resetting the Nano with it still connected to your PC?

Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!
