Ipod nano will not wont work or connect to itunes

I just purchased a nano and it will not connect to itunes it has a folder and caution sign on the ipod and when you go to update ipod it says it can't be updated

try restarting your computer. and make sure your nano is unplugged and everything. you may have to download a new version of itunes too. jus see if that works, it helped mine. hope it works for you!

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • IPod Touch will not start completely or connect to iTunes

    Ipod touch (about 15 months old), will not fully start.  I can get it to shut down by holding the power and home buttons,
    When I turn it back on, I will see the Apple logo for a few seconds and then see the clockwise spinning circle.  The circle will spin for hours with nothing else happening.
    I tried connecting it to iTunes and it recognizes it has been attached, but it is asking for the passcode.  I can't get the iPod to the passcode enter screen.
    Any ideas?  I have no idea if and when if was last updated as it is my nephews.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

  • 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

  • Ipod Nano will not turn off

    My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

    I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
    Thanks for your reply.

    My generation 6 IPOD Nano will not let me put songs on my playlist from the library. A message comes up saying it has to be downloaded from the cloud. I do I bypass this?

    If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  Then sync them to your iPod.

  • Ipod nano will not display anything, will not charge, will not turn on/off/reset and will not show in itunes

    my ipod nano 5th generation stopped working not long ago
    i was sitting down, just listening until a song in the middle of an album ended and none played afterwards
    i went to look to see what had happened but nothing would display; it was just a black screen
    i was confused so i started to hit the menu button to see if it had just went to sleep or something
    i could hear the noises that the buttons make when you push them, but the screen stayed black
    i went to see if it would charge (via dock/stereo charger), but nothing showed up
    i then tried plugging it in (via cord) to the computer and still nothing; it would not even recognize my ipod in itunes
    my itunes is completely up to date and worked with my ipod even just a few days ago, so that shouldn't be the problem
    i've tried to reset, restore, and etc., but nothing seems to get it to turn on
    it seems like i might not be able to fix it, but is there any way i can see my files (music) on the ipod so if i have to get a new one i remember what to put on it?
    help, please ~
