Ipod nano version 1.2 update problem

After many hours and checking out tthe help provided in Discussions Forum I finally manage to install iTunes 7.0 (although I wish I hadn't)I was then prompted to update my ipod to version 1.2 ... Now when I connect the ipod it appears in the source area and right hand window The Summary tab seems OK but I can't get the music tab work to manage (add or delete songs) ipod. I can still play ipod through iTunes but can't view the songs ... I'll never update again without checking out "The Forum"
Help!!!

Yesterday I installed iTunes 7 (Windows) and today I connected my iPod nano (previous generation) but now it is telling me I need to restore my iPod. It also tells me the iPod has been updated. When I press restore it goes into a cycle in which it begins by giving me the usual warnings about losing songs on the iPod and then says don't disconnect while restoring. It appears to be restoring then comes back with the message: "....has detected an iPod in recovery...you must restore" I have redownloaded. Rebooted the PC and all the other R's but still in this loop help!!!!!

Problems with iPod Nano 6th Gen Playback & Updating

Hi. I have had a look and can't find another post on this - apologies if I have missed it!
My problems start before I purchased my new Nano 16GB last week.
When the last update of iTunes came available, I was unable to install it. The task bar would get to about 50% (although it varied) and would then time out. When I had this problem I tried everything from every forum imaginable, from deleting all Temp files, disabling the firewall and all start up applications and clearing the registry – everything. Nothing worked. Eventually I decided that I should uninstall, then install the new version.
After a week of the same problems trying to install iTunes, I gave up and downloaded on another computer, and saved the .exe file to a USB stick. This worked until two days after I downloaded it, yet another update came out and I had to start all over again (I didn’t – I am running on 10.1.2.17 still).
I was concerned when I purchased my new Nano that I would have problems connecting it to iTunes as I was not running the new version – but it was okay. Unfortunately, the iPod requires update 1.1 and I am also having the same problem with this – I get time out error 3259 after sometime trying to download it. And yes, I have tried all the same tricks, but nothing seems to work.
I am running Vista on a Dell PC, and connect to the internet on a pre-pay internet USB dongle. I can download updates for other programmes, and other files successfully – it is only iTunes that I am having an issue with. ITunes is added to my list of accepted programmes on my firewall, but I disable that when I am downloading.
Meanwhile! My new iPod is fantastic. Unfortunately I am experiencing an odd problem with it, and cannot seem to find other people with the same issue. The memory is not overloaded (it has 1.10GB of free space on it). I have 1857 tracks on it, and 14 podcasts. I play the music files through the ‘Songs’ menu, on Shuffle mode. For some reason, after playing one or two tracks, it doesn’t seem to want to play the next one. The track will be displayed on the screen, but it does not play. When you look at the song progress bar, it shows that it is part way through the song, but it is not moving. I have tried pressing ‘Pause’ followed by ‘Play’ and nothing happens.
The only way to get it to start playing again is to skip to the next track, but even this has its issues. Sometimes, when you skip forward a track, it plays a completely different track to the one that is displayed. When you look at the progress bar for the song it is showing, it isn’t moving, but music is still coming out!
Does anyone have any idea what the issue is, and how I can get the machine to play continuously without having to handle it several times? Please?!

IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

Hello,
I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?

-Yes , my iTunes is updated to the latest version.
-My iPod is a Silver Ipod Nano Second generation 4GB's

Thanks for your time.

For this, first try going through the dll fix outlines in article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
If that doesn't work, try doing a selective startup through MSCONFIG (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538), and then updating the iPod.

My iPod Nano 4G is has weird problems

I have recently found out that a virus has been on my laptop for a while. I didn't know until I scanned my laptop to find it. The problem is with my iPod Nano. I have my iPod Nano for sometime but recently I think there is something wrong with it. I scanned my iPod with AVG to find nothing wrong with it. Everytime I plug my iPod to my computer, the iPod folder would pop up (when I got itunes running also). The iPod folder has weird things I have not seen before.
1. There is a folder called iPod_Control (I have not seen this folder before) and I want to know if it is suppose to be there because when I removed it, it comes back again after I plug back in. Also the folder is always hidden, don't know why.
2. The iPod folder have the "date modified" section where it tells when the iPod has been modified. It says date modified 2064 and 2072 which is wrong because it is not even those years yet. So what happened there?
3. The last thing is a file called .metadataneverindex. I am not sure what that is. I am not a computer expert but I don't think that should even be there. There was another file just like that one under a different name which is not there anymore.
I have restarted my iPod Nano to fix the problem but it did not work. I am not sure if these should be there. I just want answers to my problem.

Whatever you do don't delete those files, however they keep coming back because your iPod needs them.
the folder you didn't see mush have been there when you updated your iPod's software version to 1.0.4.
If you're using windows xp here's how to disable your iPod folder opening everytime you connect it on your computer.
On my computer you'll see your iPod right click it, go to properties-> go to the Autoplay tab-> Every menu i.e. Music Files, Pictures etc. select take no action.
Then try re-connecting your iPod.

Can't connect iPod nano since latest iTunes update. Please help :(

Ever since I downloaded the latest versions of iTunes, my 5th gen iPod nano won't connect. I get a pop-up that says, "Could not install hardware" or something to that affect. I switched cables and usb ports, and no change. What should I do?
I was thinking I want to go back to a previous iTunes version, but I have no idea if you can uninstall a version. I've only ever seen tips on uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling the same one.
The best "solution" I've gotten was to buy a new iPod, that I was out of luck and the new iTunes versions obviously don't support older iPods, but I don't think that's right. If it is, Apple has lost a customer forever.
If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate your help.

About one out of every 5 times now my Iphone will sync, the other times it will give one of several errors(see thread above) or it will just stay on the syncing deal forever.
I have not put ANY third party apps on or done anything. Hey Apple, instead of continually putting out updates to turn peoples unlocked phones into bricks, how about addresses some of these syncing issues??
thanks!!

My iPod Nano 8GB won't update to 1.2

How do i update my nano to 1.2.
It is currently 1.1.1 and indicates it is up to date. I have access to the 1.2, but I ave not had access through iTunes to update and I can not figure out how to update.
iPod nano 1.2 or later is required for the Nike+iPod.

Ok, alot of you all using the Nike sport kit keep misunderstanding the chart for this (also, the wording for the Nike sport kit may be a little misleading and needs to be updated). Your 2nd gen 8GB nano can not be updated to v1.2 because that is not the latest software for the 2nd gen. v1.1.1 is the latest one. The info listed for the Nike sports kit and the nano is in reference to the 1st gen nano, which current software version is 1.3 (it was 1.2 which is why the Nike thing says 1.2 or higher). This is why you can't update it. I believe they just haven't adjusted the info in relation to the Nike sports kit to include the 2nd gen nano. It is my understanding though that the kit works with the 2nd gen also, so no worries. Take a look at the link below and look closely at the different nano models and the software showing for it.

IPod nano (version 1.3.1) won't appear in iTunes or on desktop

Hi everyone. I have had my iPod Nano for about a year, and I've never had any problems until a few days ago, when, for a few hours, my Mac Mini basically seemed to stop recognizing that there was an iPod attached to it. I've tried other USB devices which have all worked fine. My computer at work has no trouble with the iPod (and I used the same cable with both computers).
The problem went away on its own that same night, but now it's back.
The strangest part of the whole thing is that sometimes when I attach the iPod to the computer now (since the problem re-surfaced), it will start charging. So, the iPod seems to know that the computer is there, and seems to be able to charge from that, but the iPod still doesn't show up in iTunes or on the desktop.
I've already tried the "Rs" solutions that Mac Help suggests first. None of them solved anything. Any help would be very much appreciated, because I miss podcasts!

Try checking out the information on this article, and see if it helps with your issue:

Ipod nano 6th gen, wierd functionality problems

I got this ipod nano 6th gen refurbished from apple a year back. I just started using it and found that after I synced it with my itunes, i have the following problems :
1. The screen display is opposite than my previous ipod (landscape vs portrait).
2. I have to manually change to next song most of the time.
3. When I change songs, it plays a song a few seconds and then skips a few before stopping on a song.
4. The song playing is not the song displayed on the screen.
Tried restoring to factory settings. Same issues. Can someone help?

Hi zenpal1,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPod nano that persist after a factory restore, you may need to have your iPod evaluated or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

IPod Nano 2nd generation calendar sync problem

My iPod is not beeping. The beep is on, the sync is on, yet it is not warning me of my calendar events as my previous iPod Nano used to do. I've already tried to restore it but the problem was not solved. Can anybody give some help?
Thanks
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Just tried one more time restoring it and it worked

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.
