Issues with syncing 2 IPOD 6th Gen Nano's to one computer

we have 2 new IPOD 6th Gen.  I can sync mine in ITunes, but when I plug in the 2nd one (which has a different owners name) to sync, the device comes up, but when I hit the sync button nothing is happening.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Issues with New Ipod 3rd Gen Nano!! Please help!!

    HELP!!!
    I bought a new IPOD Nano for Xmas and it doesn't appear to be working.
    It automatically syncs once then appears to completely disconnect, so when you then try to "apply" new settings or re-sync it fails.
    I checked on "My Computer" and for the first few mins it appears as an external drive, then once again completely disappears.
    This means I can't change any settings on how I want my IPOD to sync., for example adding new films that were previously unchecked...
    Hope this makes sense!!
    Has anyone else had any issues like this? Is there an easy way of solving this?
    I've tried updating the software (which now says is uptodate) and resetting the factory settings.
    I'd appreciate all the help I can get on this

    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I'd suggest first resetting the iPod (check the online manual for that) and then restoring the latest software using iTunes.
    Good luck!

  • I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

    What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

    And what is the wording of the error message?

  • 6th Gen nano wont connect to computer or itunes.

    Alright so when i connect it itunes identifys that i have plugged in an ipod but it cant properly identify it, usually when you plug in a new ipod you give it a name and all that, but i cant even get that far. My itunes is updated and ive unplugged and plugged in my usb's multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times, used to safely remove hardware button to reconnect it, and turned off my firewall, it seems ive tried everything and its not working.. im about to just take it back becuase im begining to think its defective. It wont show up as a driver on my computer either, and ive tried resetting it without itunes, nothing seems to be working... if theres something i missed leave a post ill try it and get back to ya(:
    :EDIT: ive also followed the entire apple troubble shooting page for the 6th gen nanos and it didnt help me at all D:

    The older pods are different from the newer ones. The newer ones need some software to be working correctly that the older ones don't.
    It sounds like the apple USB stuff is not installed correctly for you. Here is an article from apple on what to do:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Some other things to keep in mind:
    - Don't connect the iPod through a USB hub
    - Connect it directly to the computer through a USB port on the back, not one in the front. The USB ports on the front of Windows based systems are notoriously underpowered.
    hope that helps,

  • Issue with syncing iPod touch with new laptop

    Hi, I am asking on behalf of my brother (who is very frustrated) about why his windows laptop is not syncing properly with his iPod touch 4th gen. He claims to have authorized the machine with his iTunes account but every time he syncs the iPod with the laptop, it demands that he delete all of his music and resync it. So he does as it asks and when he plugs it in again later, iTunes wants him to delete everything. He does have his device authorized with a few other computers. Could he solve his problem by deauthorizing them since he never plans to use them again? Thanks for any and all help.

    To not lose anything do the following:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    The computer has to be authorized for his iTunes account. Since you can on have five computer authorized, he should deauthorize any unnecessary computer.

  • Problem with my ipod (4th gen i think, the one with the click wheel)

    after i updated my ipod (its the old click wheel one with the black and white screen, brought in 2004) with update 3.1.1 (2006-03-23) i got some new songs that i brought from itunes and they worked fine. i left my ipod for a couple of days and it took a while to load which is usual and the apple symbol came up etc. the problem came after this having not turned it on when i do those new songs just skip and don't play. whichever way i try it, playing them in a playlist or straight from the album section or just as one song they do not play. i have rebooted my ipod and have the most recent version of itunes. the only way i can get these songs to play is by reconnecting the ipod to my computer which becomes a hassle if i have to do it every time i have left it. once i have done this they play fine until i leave it again and miss a day of not turning it on.
    any help would be much appreciated but i am beginning to think that it is past all help.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. The hotness is symptom of a hardware problem

  • Issues with Syncing Ipod Nano 5th gen

    I put this in another thread its probably better here.. Have yet to receive help. Im gonna try and make what I did more clear and what options I have gone through
    What I have tried to do
    1: Search online for resolutions (found a few that I thought would help and they did not)
    2: Contacted the local store - Unit is no longer under warranty but they stated they believe the issue is with Itunes Software not my hardware. Calling Tech would be useless, and being not under warranty would cost me money.
    3: Search other sites where people discuss apple products.
    I am a IPod user of 5 years... So I am familiar with how it all works. Im on my 3rd Ipod.
    What I am attempting to do is sync selected music and video only. Sadly when I do this choice, it will not sync anything at all.. When I uncheck it it will then sync my music, video, and audio books no problem.. BUT I can not choose the songs I want.. Its either the entire library or artist if I do it by selecting artists.
    I had not had this problem until I got ITunes 10. I have tried to downgrade my software but I like the functionality of ITunes 10 the best. ITunes 10 did work fine when I first got it, and had made no changes to it other then updates. Since I got ITunes 10 I had also gotten error 13019. Where I found some answers were to uninstall then reinstall.. Some said uncheck music sync everything else then recheck music and it will be fine. That does not work for some reason.

  • Ipod 6th gen nano issue

    I have done the step by step procedure to try and have my computer recognize my new nano and it just wont work.  As soon as I start up my itunes my computer no longer recognizes the nano as a disk drive.  I dont know if its because it is 64 bit or what can anyone provide some help please.

    After I read this post I took a look at my nano (with which I am having volume level issues). I had it set to 'Rock'.
    Having now taken it off that EQ setting - i.e. changing it back to 'none' - the volume has been restored to a more acceptable level! AND, when I adjust the volume up or down on the nano using the buttons, it makes a beep - it wasn't doing that before...
    I think a firmware update is required!

  • Problem with synching iPod 4th gen Nano to iTunes Vista 8.02

    Not had a problem with this Nano - sometimes hangs on first play nothing a reset doesn't cure - til now.
    For some reason iTunes decided a Smart playlist (To delete - if I rate one star it lists it there) was missing when it was there, just disappeared for a while. It eventually came back after I recreated it.
    This meant the other playlists I synch from fell over and refused to synch to the iPod (having a massive collection and only a 8Gb Nano means I tend to have playlist for Recent stuff, and random shuffle type playlists).
    So I deleted the condition in those Smart Playlists, and thought it was fine...nope, it now only synchs less that half of the iPod, even though the playlists have loads more tunes in them. Tried deleting the 'To Delete' playlist(s), restoring the iPod, upgrading from 8 to 8.0.2 - no dice. Even a restart and an iPod reset doesn't fix it.
    It just says 'synch complete' when there are obviously many more files to download, it usually only does 300-600 then stops. Sometimes it tells me (wrongly) there is not enought space on the iPod by 0.2 of a Gb or something, and says it won't synch. When I reduce the size of one of the playlists, it then goes back to saying 'Synch complete'.
    Don't know what's wrong with it - could it be the iTunes library - I moved it to an external USB drive, and switched from my XP machine to this one, but it seemed to be working fine? Hence the restart - I had switched off the drive when I put the laptop into suspend mode, so initially it wasn't there, so I thought iTunes might have gotten confused, and did a restart after upgrade. Still the same.
    Any ideas?

    Nope still doing it. Just got to 2-thirds full.
    So what's happening now it says
    'Ipod cannot be synched, playlists are 1.82Gb and there is 1.77Gb on the iPod'
    Fine, you then reduce the size of one of the playlists by say 100-200Mb:
    Then it doesn't sync those files - it doesn't sync anything and says 'Sync completed' and 'Ok to disconnect'
    Argh.
    BTW what's sentinel?

  • Capacity issue with syncing iPod to new computer

    Trying to sync my 32 GB iPod Touch 4th Generation to my new laptop after updating my iTunes library.  Took all of my music from my old computer and added it to the new one through home sharing and added some new songs.  Have tried to sync my iPod now that all of the new music is on my new laptop, but I keep getting a message that I don't have enough free space.  However, the amount of music I'm trying to sync is actually less than the capacity of the iPot.  Is the sync trying to add the music libraries together somehow?  I thought it would erase what was on the iPod and replace it with the music on the iTunes library on my new laptop. The error message says: "The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enouch free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library." Any suggestions??

    So you have stuff on your iPod that right now does not also exist on the computer? If so, you need a way to move the stuff off the iPod onto the computer, correct?

  • Windows 7 does not recognize ipod 6th gen nano

    Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

    Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
    To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
    It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

  • My ipod (6th gen nano) is not being recognized

    I was moving some music on to it, decided to update itunes, and the moment it updated my ipod stopped being recognized. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod, and restarted the computer- all, multiple times. Thoroughly unimpressed and not sure how to get this working. Please help?

    Hi, SFletches.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

  • Ipod 6th gen not working

    Hi there, I bought an ipod 6th gen just over a year ago, while using it, I noticed the screen get grainy just before my battery went low.  Now the screen is black and wont charge.  I am wondering if it is the battery or the ipod itself.  I never dropped the ipod or abused it anyway, I dont really want to buy another one, if this is going to happen, has anyone else had this happen, or know what the problem is?
