Latest Run doesn't show in Nike + iPod menu, won't sync, Potential Fix

I hope this hasn't been discussed elsewhere, but I found a solution to a frequent problem I was having.
10.4.7, iTunes 6.0.5, iPod Nano Software 1.2
PROBLEM: After completing a workout, attempting to upload it to the nikeplus.com website doesn't work at all. Checking Preferences>iPod>Nike + iPod does not show a "latest workout". Trying the "re-sync" tricks don't work.
WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM: From what I have found, if you listen to a playlist that has an ampersand (&) in the playlist title, the workout won't be synced to the Nike Plus website.
I had to go in and edit the XML file and remove the ampersand, move the xml file back to the "Latest Workout" folder and sync again.
I noticed this because opening a good workout in Safari displayed all workout data while the "bad" xml file showed an error on line 12. Line 12 consisted of the playlist I played during my workout ("Shane & Shane"). Changing all instances of this to "Shane and Shane" solved the issue.
I hope this helps, and I hope this is fixed!

Good detective work & thanks for sharing your discovery. However, if you search for "ampersand" you will see that several people (Solstice & others) have already posted about the problems caused by having an ampersand in a playlist title.
I suppose we need a FAQ for the most common problems and fixes! It would save people from having to reinvent the wheel.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

Movies and TV Shows Missing form iPod menu -- what's up with that?

I purchased my fist movie and TV episode last night to see how well I will like them on my iPod classic. I am connecting to the most up to date version of iTunes on my IBM/Win XP computer.
I watched the episode (Journeyman's first episode -- missed it on Monday...it's not bad) and was pleased. Then watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- also enjoyable even at the small size (especially the opening sequence which emulates "home movie" style in a very small frame).
Near the end of the movie, my iPod battery was giving up the ghost, so I paused the movie and plugged in. After waiting out the "Do not disconnect..." syncing process the main menu finally appeared on the iPod -- but the Movie and TV Shows selections were conspicuously missing from the menu! I have not seen my Movie/TV episode since.
They are in the iTunes library, obviously, but they simply never show up in the iPod menu. So far I have sync'd a number of times -- the sync settings were originally set by default to sync all songs, podcasts, TV Shows, Movies, Songs, etc... I tried "tweaking" these but to no avail. All syncs result in no Movie or TV Shows on the iPod menu.
Most recently I tried deleting all material from the iPod and then re-syncing all material back to the iPod (no help) and lastly I tried resetting to factory default settings (which originally seemed to work just fine) still to no avail.
When I select Settings >> Main Menu ... from the iPod main menu, the configuration screen also does not contain options for Movies or TV Shows.
It all makes me say "Hmmmm...." and leaves me reluctant to waste money on video media (though thank god my Tiki TV podcasts are still coming through just fine ... no Lala? I don't think so!). Nope, check that! video podcasts are not coming through either. GEEZE!
Has anyone experienced this before? Again, I've updated all iPod and iTunes software. Nothing "funky" seemed to happen to cause the problem, other than it conincided with plugging my iPod in (which kicks off the blasted sync process -- geeze these settings are a pain...I'd prefer the blasted thing to just sync on demand) >:-( Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated. Without a solution, I'll never be able to keep up with Journeyman!
Thanks

No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened:
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501. The next one gets #502, etc. Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups; click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options. Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502.
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration? Have you done any new backups? If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily. Make it an Admin account. Log on to it and delete all the other accounts. Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup. There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
Clear as mud?

Hello b0nvivant,
Thank you for providing so much information about the iPod issue you are experiencing. I found an article with steps to take when your iPod is recognized in Windows Explorer but not in iTunes:

This may be related to the "feature" that displays all Greatest Hits albums as one album, or it may be that the tracks are marked as compilations. Find one of the missing artists in iTunes and select the tracks from the album. Make sure the Compilations flag is set to No. Change the album title to something unique, e.g. if it's called *Greatest Hits*, rename it to *Greatest Hits, Artist*. Resync your iPod and see if it helps. If so, repeat the treatment.

Hi vanover7,
It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct?

Did you follow the steps exactly in order to restore? disconnect all cables, open iTunes, then connect micro usb

Make sure to connect directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable.

2nd Gen iPod Nano won't sync

My stepson's 2nd Gen iPod just won't sync. It behaves normally in iTunes and doesn't cause any problems or symptoms with the computer. Made a playlist and selected it to only sync to that playlist, shows that everything is fine, click sync- nothing happens. I went through every step on the website's troubleshooting pages- reset the iPod, restarted the computer, tried it on different USB ports, and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes. I tried to restore it and it went through the download process untill the end when a window popped up saying "error downloading software". I'm at a loss and feel bad for him because this was a Christmas present from a family member and now it won't work : / Any more experienced users have any ideas? I called tech support and they said they couldn't help me unless I paid the $29.99 fee because this iPod is too old for a warranty >: /

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
lost libraryHow to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

IPod nano won't sync in new laptop

Hello everyone,
my 6th generation 8GB iPod Nano won't sync in a new Windows 8 (not upgraded to 8.1) laptop. iTunes recognizes it and is able to enable disk use but will not sync the music. The computer also recognizes it. It just won't sync, when I press the sync button it seems as if it is going to sync but it stops after a few seconds without synching or changing anything. I already uninstalled and installed iTunes and restarted the laptop and the problem is still there. Also I wonder why iTunes doesn't say that the iPod is synched with another library and if I want to sinc it with the new one since the music my iPod currently has comes from an old laptop that doesn't work anymore so that's why I have my music now in this new computer, but it won't sync and it's frustrating. Any advice? Thank you.

IPod Classic won't sync to PC

My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.

It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes. Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps. Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

same has happened to me, on and off, for the last 6 months. Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics. works great for a while - then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod. some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over. Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device. that is all the help I have received.
