Ipod nano will not sync movies, ipod nano will not sync movies

trying to sync my daughter's nano and movies are now not recognized (nor are tv shows)...our music/movies have been added to the cloud- does that matter?

Ok take a loof at this article. It goes through a series of possible things that may be going on as to why your iPod is not showing in windows and/or iTunes. Some won't apply at all and some may. Note that at the begining of the article it suggests you check and go through all things in the article to make sure. The final suggestion is that your iPod may need servicing or replacement. After going through everything in the suggestion and it does not work I would go with that idea and suggest that you contact Apple (unless you purchased at a retailer and are still within their return period...then I would suggest taking it back to that retailer for an exchange.).
Good luck!

I have a 5th generation iPod nano. I downloaded an audiobook on Itunes. It will not let me sync saying this computer is not authorized. Anyone know what to do?

How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer? My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod. I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer? My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod. I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled). Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes? seems very inflexible/inelegant...
thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!

Is there no ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM?

My ipod nano will not show any music on it after syncing or manuallly adding it, but the information still takes up space in ipod

I have tried to put music on my ipod nano 3rd gen both manually and syncing it, but it never shows up after I eject my nano. The songs I put on will take up space, but the ipod says no songs. I have restored it multiple times and nothing has helped.

Hey there Eduardo_09,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not appearing in either Windows, or iTunes on your computer. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Here is step 1 to get you started, but there are additional steps within if needed:
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

Have ipod nano 5th generation..will not sync dognostics in itunes says no ipod touch found...its a nano pass all other test

i have a ipod nano 5th generation. use to work fine now will not sync. have done the 5rs several times all that got me was no songs on my ipod at all. have latest version of itunes. when run diognostics test on itunes pass all but says no ipod touch found. whay is it saying no touch when its a nano? I will never purchase another ipod only worked until the warnety ended.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

IPod will not Sync with iTunes Nano

I want to put the songs I purchased from iTunes onto my iPod. Unfortunately the "sync" is now grayed out even though iTunes is reading the iPod. Meaning, I can add my iPod songs into my iTunes Dashboard, but the songs do not transfer the other way.
I use my iPod, and make song purchases, from two separate computers. Both computers are registered to my account.
I never had this problem with older versions of iTunes.

Hey Biglou1,

I have a generation 5 Nano iPod. I have created Genius playlists and want to sync them to my iPod. How do I do this, as they are not shown in my library when syncing my music.

I have a generation 5 Nano iPod. I have created suggested playlists from the iTunes store using Genius. I want to move these playlists into the playlists in my library so they can be synced to my iPod. I don't seem to be able to do this, and can only listen to these Genius playlists on my computer. How do I transfer these?

On a 5th gen nano, you can actually create and listen to Genuis playlists on the iPod.
You can also set up automatic syncing to include Genius Playlists.
In iTunes, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the Genuis playlists that you create are shown under GENIUS (not PLAYLISTS).
If you use automatic syncing, you set up the iPod's Music screen in iTunes (where the Sync Music checkbox is located). Genius playlists are shown on the iPod's Music screen, under Playlists, where you can select (checkmark) them as items to be synced to the iPod and maintained by iTunes.
If you use the manual method (with the Manually manage music and videos setting), there is no way to include the actual Genius playlists. However, you can create a new playlist manually on the iPod using iTunes. Then, drag the songs from a Genius playlist to that playlist on the iPod.

HT4235 not all songs syncing to ipod nano

Good day. I have noticed not all my songs are being synced to my ipod from laptop itunes. They are all checked and purchased. Any ideas ? Thanks

Hey nanonano27,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues syncing music to your iPod nano. The answer to your question will stem from how you have set up your iPod nano to sync: Automatically, Automatically with Selections, Manually, Autofill. I have included an article that outlines these options:

I have an iPod Nano and I have a new computer. I want to sync my iPod with my new computer. It tells me all of my current music will be erased from my iPod. How do I prevent that from happening?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

HT1495 I use method 3 to sync my iPad to my desktop which is used to sync my iPod nano. After I done all the steps,how will I sync the separate library to my iPad? I don't see any sync option and don't even see my iPad on the device.

My iPad is registered in a different account.im having difficulty installing iTunes on my laptop so when I read that multiple iPod,iPad etc can be sync in one computer,I tried making a separate library on my desktop which have an iTunes already.i used my desktop for my iPod nano. After following the instructions, I don't know how to sync it with my iPad now connected on my desktop.i can't see a button or option to sync. And I don't even see my iPad recognize on the device.pls tell me what am I missing. I already sign in so my desktop will be authorize.

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

I am going from an Ipod classic to a 6th generation ipod nano . The full library will not fit on the nano. How do i switch out music on the nano?

I went from an i pod classic to a nano. My music library is larger than what synced on my nano. I want to switch to some different music in my library, how do I do this?

So is mine...by about 150GB, LOL (I've been around awhile, and have LOTS of music). Anyway, how I do it is either delete/uncheck stuff in iTunes (Not efficient as you have to select each, individual song that you want to delete/uncheck. You can't just delete/uncheck an entire album. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple entries) or delete things from the iTunes Music folder.
If you delete them in iTunes, you have the option of keeping the files or sending them to the Trash (Mac speak for the Recycle Bin; don't do this unless you have backup copies. I'm being overly cautious, but never hurts to have backups). Then you'd have to sync your Music manually or all the songs in your Library may try and add themselves back onto your iPod. Although, if you just uncheck them (haven't tried it) that may not be a problem.
The Music folder may be much quicker - I haven't tried this as it didn't occur to me until after I deleted stuff in iTunes. It's located in My Documents > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music - I think that's right but don't quote me as my PC is on its way out the door to a charity. I'm on a Mac, now. Check iTunes for the location, to be sure. Anyway, make a copy of the Music folder and put it somewhere safe (pretty much, anywhere else on your PC). Then, open the Music folder, in the iTunes Media folder, and delete away. This is also not uber efficient, but it's workable as long as you have a backup.
Saving your Music folder may not be necessary as iTunes now has the option of retrieving everything you've ever purchased (click on Purchased, in the left column, click on Download Previous Purchase at the lower, right and then click on the Music tab). This didn't used to be an option; used to be, you had to repurchase any Music you lost in iTunes and from your computer.
As soon as you're down to a decent level in iTunes, start adding more music and then sync your iPod. Not sure if you can drag and drop into iTunes on a PC (you can on a Mac), but you could try that. I forget exactly as I haven't touched my PC in over 6 months...which is why it's on its way out the door. After I install a new hard drive (I have one lying around), reinstall basic Windows then bake my old hard drive before putting it in the trash. LOL
I may not be quite correct about everything I've told you as all my music is stored on/copied to an external drive (even stuff I purchase through iTunes), so I just toss things in the trash as I see fit, drag stuff out, off my external drive, drop them into iTunes and sync. Plus, I'm just a skosh rusty on a PC.
If I haven't gotten everything quite right, someone will probably be along and give you better/more/more concise info.

Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not. 2nd gen nano

My wife has a 2nd gen nano that will not sync. Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not, you can scroll through the menus and use it like it was not connected. When I first connect it, the do not disconnect sign appears then after a few seconds the main menu. She has used it for 2 years and it worked fine until today.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have digital copies of Expendables 2 and The Bourne Legacy in my iTunes library. When I sync my iPod Touch, I'm told they will not play on my iPod Touch. I haven't had any problems before with movies. Any suggestions?
