ITunes don't sync with brand new iPod 4gen

Me and my sister just bought new iPods nano 4g (8gb). I can sync my with iTunes - absolutely no problems... But her doesn't work! When it's connected on the same computer, i can see her iPod in itunes, but it doesn't sync...it says, that there is something wrong with the disk and asks to upload software 1.0.2...but it doesn't upload!
Any ideas?...
please...

Have you tried restoring the iPod? You do this by plugging in the nano then going to the summary tab for it in iTunes. The restore option will be on that tab.
If this doesn't work, then the iPod is should be returned because restore is meant to correct all errors with ipods

I cannot download the latest version of itunes to my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to sync with my new ipod nano. Any suggestions???

You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't sync that device.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
Some device models require Mac OS X 10.7.5 to sync.

Full automatic Itunes synchronization impossible for a brand new Ipod touch 5th generation

Hey all,
I bought a brand new Ipod Touch 5th generation which won't synchronize my whole music library through Itunes (very latest version of the app).
The ipod runs IOS8 and the mac mini runs Yosemite latest version.
I already had issue synchronizing music the very 1st day I had the Ipod touch. As a result, went back to the Apple store for changing it for another device, thinking the Ipod was faulty, which Apple accepted and changed my device for a brand new one.
Since then, still unable to synchronize the full music library through itunes. I performed several full resets both on the mac mini and of the Ipod touch with no success. The synchronization seems to run fully normally with no warning pop up saying it failed or whatsoever and the sync process is very very long. But once done, my Ipod remains empty with no data at all.
The weird thing is that Photos are fully synchronized with no issue at all.
I contacted the Apple assistance who argued that my music library might be faulty and have corrupted files in it. So I cleaned it up, suppressing some files I had in double etc.
BUT still, no success, I had to go through the entire library to sync manually, but even then, I was able to have on the device, only half of the library, i.e. around 25 go. once the ipod display 25 to 30 gb remaining, it won't sync no more files.
Although I cleaned up the entire library and reset both devices hundreds of times, I have no clue why even manually, I'm completely unable to have my whole library automatically sync.
I spent hours on the phone with Apple assistance to get some help with no success so far. I even re-installed Itunes completely, still without any result at all.
I was only able to upload on the Ipod only half of the music library, and there are still 25 to 30 GB space remaining on the ipod and 20GB of music to be uploaded.
The automatic sync process always fails any time I try to run it, except for the photos, books etc.
I must say I also have an 160 GB Ipod classic with which I never had any problem so far, and which fully sync my whole library with no issue at all.
I read on the internet that some other users of IOS8 are accountering the same issue with itunes.
COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE, given the price of the Ipod I really do regret I bought something that does not work properly. Quite disappointed

Yes the system just keep sync as everything is normal, but then no song is actually uploaded to the ipod.
And the remaining space bar shows the ipod's empty.
the automated process will just keep sync as if normal and the last step saying 'applying the modifications" just keep going on and never ends.
I was only able to upload manually half of the albums, all songs comes from different sources; ripped from CD for great part, but also downloaded from the internet from trusted websites.
All songs play normally through Itunes on the Mac Mini.
But then when trying to sync the whole library automatically, nothing happens and I only get tags of the different albums, as if there, but actually it won't play none and the Ipod player just keep skipping as if no musical data is there.

Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!

just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!

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.

Big Problem with brand new iPod please help ME!!

Hi, I just today got a brand new iPod. I pluged it into my computer and put on about 700 songs immediatly. Then, I tried to put video on my iPod. It said it would not do this because it's not the right type of iPod. But it is a 5th Gen. iPod and it can play video. Anyway, I installed the latest iPod updater. Now, it says to install the new iTunes 6.01. So I tried but it says my disk is full. It is not full. Also, do I have to keep my previous "iPod for windows" files that are occupying space on my disk?

Kenny,
If you can back your songs up, and you have not rated a slew of them already, it might be a good idea to uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it and use the ipod updater to wipe the iPod. Just make sure you download and install 6.01 before you plug the iPod in. Maybe that will get you past the disk full problem. Just something to try.

Issue with brand new iPod Nano 7g No Phone, can't contact Apple

Hi everyone,
I just got my brand new iPod Nano the other day, when I opened it up and took the sticker off, I saw a large scratch down the screen. That was annoying enough but the scratch affects the touchscreen ability and it's very tough to ignore.
So like a normal person I want to contact Apple to try and resolve this, but I've hit another barrier. I only have one phone, a mobile and that's bust up. No way I can take or recieve calls unless I become psychic as the speaker and mic are broken. So i'm wondering if there's any other way I can contact Apple?
My nearest Apple store is about a 2 hour drive away as I live in the middle of nowhere, helpfully...
Totally new to this place so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

So i'm wondering if there's any other way I can contact Apple?
Either borrow a cell or a landline phone. I find it hard to believe no one in your neighborhood, family, school or job have no phone.

Problems with brand new ipod classic

I purchased a $245 classic for my son's birthday last week. He opened it, was excited, and went straight to the computer to begin using it. Unfortunately, it did NOT work. I can't really say the problems he was having because he was the one using it. I believe he said that it would not format, and that the computer did not recognize the device as an ipod. He then tried it on his girlfriend's computer and it did not work there either. We called Apple and the representative told us to return it to the store. The store told us that it had to go through Apple (per Apple's orders). We called the same guy back and he said to send it in and they would send us a new one. OK, fine. But now they are saying that it was "undetermined accidental damage" and they will not repair or replace it. The ipod did not work from the moment it was opened!!! I find it quite unfair that we now have a brand new completely unscratched $245 paperweight, and no gift for our son. The website does not give me help with addressing this issue. Does anyone out there have any ideas on who to contact next? The guy we talked to in customer service lied to us twice (first by telling us the store would return it, and second by saying they were just going to ship a new one since he had just opened it). We don't really want to bother with him anymore. Our frustration is unreal. Thanks for any insight you might have.

I can't speak for Apple, and I don't think we could speak to what your son did with the iPod (as opposed to following the setup instructions which I believe are in the box, and direct you to www.apple.com/ipod/start to install iTunes), as when I turned my Ipod Classic 160GB on, it simply booted up and started working. No "formatting" was required.
If you have an issue where a vendor promises you a return, then reneges ... turn all your information over to your credit card issuer or bank and ask them to initate a chargeback. That will get the seller's attention.
That's my $0.02.

A whole slew of iTunes on Windows even with a NEW iPod

So I've been having some minor problems with my iPod Photo. For the last few months whenever I connected it this weird window would appear saying AUTOPLAY with a little progress bar scanning across. It didn't bother me that much, but in the last few days I've upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and things have just gotten a lot worse.
Whenever I connected my iPod with my computer it would just freeze iTunes and usually the windows taskbar. I could literally just unplug the firewire and it would start again. A few seconds after I plugged it in it would freeze again.
If I just left it alone for long enough it would go through that weird autoplay thing again, but for longer and eventually pick up an iPod, but not my iPod, just an IPOD.
I repaired iTunes a few times, but with no effect. I then tried to restore it, and it started to restore (ie. it erased all my music) but then had an 1418 error. And said my iPod was corrupt. After all this I took it to the Apple store today and they gave me a NEW iPod Photo. And it loaded when I installed it, but after I formatted it to Windows all the same old problems started again.
What is going on and what do I need to do to fix this?
Dell 8400 Windows XP

An update. Things aren't fixed but they are better. Instead of not working at all, if I just leave the iPod for about 15 minutes iTunes eventually pops up and starts an update though. However it's only updating small chunks of music. After about 2 albums added it says there was an error reading the disk or something along those lines and stops. Similar thing happened when pictures are added.

I only have 16bit windows vista on my laptop. Can I use my iPad to download songs from iTunes Store and sync to my new iPod Nano?

I have a 16bit vista laptop which is unreliable and I do not wish to use it to transfer songs to my new iPod Nano. Can I sync downloads from my Apple iPad instead?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Adobe After Effects CC 2014 don't work with brand new Dell m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 video card

Hello!
I got brand new Dell Precision m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 FireGL V. Premiere and Photoshop works more or less fine, but there is a problem with AFx - software kills videocard (screen goes black for several seconds and then appears this notification - IC454010.gif gif by stumped2 | Photobucket ). After that - AFx hangs on. All the drivers are up to date (tried different AMD drivers - same situation), Windows 7 Pro - up to date, AFx - up to date.
Got small chat with Dell support team and they said - everything must work fine.
So - where is the problem? I spent almost 2.5k euros for this Dell mobile workstation, but right now I`m stuck with this problem. PS - funny fact - my Dell M6800 is on Adobe's hardware performance white paper, but seems that this means nothing

AE uses the GPU for very little. See here: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
Unless you're doing a lot with the ray-traced renderer or third party plugins (like Element 3d), AE won't really use your GPU at all.
And the ray-traced renderer is built on NVIDIA technology so it can never use an AMD card to accelerate it. You'd need an NVIDIA card.
That's probably part of the reason that the AE team has stopped putting any development time towards the ray-traced renderer and are focusing on a more powerful (and less GPU specific) way to do 3d in AE: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects That's right: C4D is included for free with After Effects!
Since you don't have an NVIDIA card, this will actually render faster than the ray-traced renderer too!
