I had this issue with my 6th generation nano. It was driving me nuts, until I realized that somehow locked the repeat button on. Selecting one song rather than a selection will cause whatever song you have selected to play over and over and over and over..

Problems downloading audiobooks from Overdrive [Windows 8] to my IPod Nano 7th gen. Not showing up on the Ipod. Any suggestions?

problems downloading audiobooks from Overdrive [Windows 8] to my IPod Nano 7th gen. Not showing up on the Ipod. Any suggestions?

The iPod's screen indicates that the iPod is connected?
In Windows, the iPod will not appear as removable storage, unless it is set in iTunes to Enable disk use. By default, it is NOT set to Enable disk use.
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When the iPod is connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. It does not appear there?

Ipod Nano 7th Gen - Is it possible to prevent next podcast episode from played episode from playing automatically ?

I have had an Ipod Nano 3rd generation for years. I mostly listen to Podcasts while walking and like to be able to select the sequence in which I listen to them. This was possible by selecting the shuffle option on the 3rd generation Nano. I have just purchased the 7th generation Nano and much to my disappointment I can't see any option to prevent Podcasts from automatically playing the next episode. This seems like a really backward step compared to the 3rd generation model. Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent next Podcasts from being played automatically with the new Ipod Nano 7th generation ?

Perhaps somebody else has figured it out, but I haven't been able to on my 7G Nano. Not without putting each podcast into a separate playlist and then syncing those playlists over to your Nano. Some people like that it continues to the next podcast automatically where as others like that it stops after each episode.

My iPod Nano 7th gen is not recognised by either PC or iTunes

So I just downloaded some new MP3 files and was looking to connect my 7th gen iPod Nano to my PC to sync them on.
Upon connection, I recieved a message from iTunes saying:
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
Not only have I disconnected and reconnected the iPod more times than I can count, I have stopped the iTunes service once, restarted my PC twice, reset the iPod four times, unplugged my printer's USB, checked the cable (it is the original iPod cable) and a whole host of other things in order to get it to work. I still cannot get my PC or iTunes to recognise the iPod.
Please, any ideas? I'm really stuck here...

Hi there - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
1) iTunes
2) Apple Software Update
3) Apple Mobile Device Support
4) Bonjour
5) Apple Application Support
Then you restart your computer.
Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
Then you restart your computer again.
Mine is working perfectly again now.
I hope it works for you,
Carmen.

TS1369 My iPod nano 7th gen is not recognised by iTunes in windows 8.1

When I plug, it reads a message (I translate from spanish): an iPod has been detected but it can't be read correctly. Unplug and plug and try again. If it perstists reinstal iTunes and try again. I've done all of that. I plugged the iPod when iTunes wasn't installed and it worked fine as an external disk. The iPod's screen shows that it is plugged until iTunes fails to recognise and then it shows the messsage when you explulse the iPod.
Any help may be useful.

My ipod nano 7th gen is not syncing. Where can i see it in itunes

Where can i see it in itunes?

You must be using iTunes 10.7 or later for it to register that your iPod nano is plugged in.

My ipod nano 7th gen does not turn on and is not recognized by my pc

Don't know why my ipod does not turn on anymore. I only had it for 2 weeks. It also is not recognized on my pc or itunes when I plug it in with my USB.

How long have you left the iPod to charge? It can take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to power on or show any signs of life. How long did you press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons to reset the iPod?
It might not to also make use of another USB sync cable if you have one laying around to rule out the possibility of a faulty/damaged cable.

My ipod Nano 7th gen is not syncing with iTunes

I have tried to sync my ipod with Itunes but i get an error that "the ipod could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconect the ipod" alternatively uninstall iTunes and reinstall again. I have done all this together with resetting the ipod settings, changing USB ports but nothing seems to work. Anyone with a solution?

common windows 8 problem...

IPod nano 7th gen not charging

I recently got an iPod nano 7th gen 16GB slate. Whenever I plug it into my MBP using the new connector, I get the PLUG in the battery icon instead of the usual lightning. When I finally unplug the iPod after keeping it plugged in for quite a long time, it seems like I didn't charge my iPod at all (all I get in the battery icon is a red line).
Is there something wrong with the battery or the cable??

Whilst charging make sure your iMac doesnt go to sleep and try to make sure itunes is constantly open whilst connected. If this does not work try restarting the device by holding down both the home button and slep button down.
Hope this helps

IPod Nano 7th Gen not appearing in itunes

My ipod nano 7th gen is not appearing in itunes, either the new one or the old. it is registered on the computer, but I can't access it through itunes. It was woring a few weeks ago. I have Windows 8 and the newest itunes.

I came across this problem three days ago. Have tried everything. Went through all the steps Apple suggests for solving this problem. Nothing worked. The iPod is recognized by my wife's MacBook, but not by my Windows 7 PC. I'm at wits end.

Playlists will not sync onto iPod nano 7th gen

Since the very beginning of iPods, I subscribe to a number of podcasts that refresh in iTunes automatically. Once a day I transfer the "recently added" podcasts to a created playlist for my daily listening. This allows me to cull out music downloads from the pure podcast list. Since "podcasts" have been separated as an app, iTunes made it difficult to accomplish this. With iTunes 12 and my current iPod 7th generation, I can find no tip that will allow me to continue the practice. I want a continuously playing playlist of the most recently downloaded subscribed podcasts that can easily be refreshed and transferred to my iPod nano 7th gen at the end of each day.

There is no Apply button there, until you change something. Until you make a change to a setting on that screen, the button (where the Apply button is located) says Sync.
It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are describing. The Recently Added playlist is a smart playlist. It comes "pre-installed" with iTunes. However, if you right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist, you will see that the two rules for populating it are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks
Genre - is not - Podcast
Therefore, if that is the playlist you are referring to, it intentionally excludes podcast episodes. If you want a new smart playlist that lists podcast episodes downloaded in the last two week, you can start with the Recently Added playlist. Don't modify that playlist. Right-click on it and select Duplicate. Name it (the duplicate) something like "Recently Added Podcasts" (or whatever you want). Right-click on it and select Edit Smart Playlist. Change the rules so that they are
Date Added - in the last - 2 - weeks <- You can change the number of weeks as desired.
Media Kind - is - Podcast
NOTE: I suggest using Media Kind instead of Genre, because it more accurately identifies items that are podcasts. Something can be a "podcast" without Genre set to Podcast. But everything iTunes shows as a podcast MUST have Media Kind set to Podcast.
That new smart playlist ONLY shows all podcast episodes downloaded in the last two weeks. You can then sync that playlist, if you want them all, or use it as the source to manually update your "daily podfest" playlist, and then select that playlist on the iPod's Podcasts screen (as described in my previous reply).

My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my replacement iPod nano 7th gen not sync?

I've just got a replacement iPod nano 7th gen after my last one was faulty (suddenly having white screens etc) - exact same model type. I've charged it, and when I put the new replacement iPod in the computer it makes the regular sound to let me know its recognised the iPod. The iPod shows the 'connected - eject before disconnecting' sign so that part of it seems to be working.
I then go to devices looking to sync the music into my new iPod and then when I do that the 'Sync' button is grey and will not let me progress to sync. This is the problem I am having and I need help.
Let me know if you need any more information, thank you.

I am a UK resident btw If that helps.
