My ipod nano keeps coming up with messages when i plug into laptop. i follow instructions but it doesnt work

I found my old iPod nano, I attempted to plug into my laptop but it comes up with loads of messages and doesn't seem to do anything

Hey there hannahc-,
I would recommend trying the iPod Nano 5r's to see if you can get that iPod acting correctly.
Choose the iPod Nano generation you have and follow the instructions for it:

    how do I get data off  my phone? when I plug phone into the wall and hold down the button i can get into photos and messages etc but when I plug into laptop it goes to recovery mode........therefore the data is not yet wiped? HELP! I got married last week on holidays and have not had a chance to save photos yet.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • My iphones and ipods no longer show up as devices when I plug into my computer to use itunes

    Does anyone know why my iPhone and iPod no longer show up as devices when I plug into my computer to use iTunes?

    Hi jacquelinex,

  • Does ipod nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in to the computer?

    When I bring new music into my itunes library the song is checked.  will the nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in again?  Or do I have to start over?  I hit sync again but not sure whether I have to do that every time I charge it.

    Depends on how you have your iPod set up to Sync.  For example if your iPod is configured to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure each new track you add to iTunes has a tick mark next to it.  The next time you sync your iPod (assuming it set up to automatically sync), the new tracks will be added.

  • 6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

    I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Each time i try to connect my ipod it keeps coming up with a duplicate file name was specified,

    can some one help me,  each time i plug my ipod into the computor it keeps saying ,, a duplicate file name was specified, how can i change this file name ,,it seems to be the name of the ipod ,,?

    Hi stelincs,
    You should be able to change the name of your iPod classic in the iTunes application.   Here's how:
    Change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997
    Use your computer
    Connect your device and open iTunes.
    Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.) If you don't see your device, choose Hide Sidebar from the View menu.
    Next to the picture of your device, double-click the name of your device.
    Type the new name for your device and press Return on the keyboard.
    Sync the device (press Sync in the bottom right corner of the screen).

    Hi,
    Firstly I'd check that you have a connection to the internet by browsing in Safari.
    Secondly check that you are logged in with the correct account information in;
    Settings > Store > Account
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphoto keeps coming up with message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.

    I had the original version of iPhoto,  that came with my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8). My software is up to date. This has been happening since our hard drive was repaired.  I had to reinstall the iphoto, but it still doesn't work.

    The latest version of iPhoto 09 is version 8.1.2. Verify that this is the version you have. 
    Did you connect a different computer to this one, then access your iPhoto??
    Your iPhoto Library is in your pictures folder.  We can tell what version the library is in the follow way.....
    - locate your iPhoto Library in the pictures folder - hold down your "control" key on the keyboard, and click once on the "iPhoto Library" and select "show package content".    This will show many folders. Locate the folder called “Albumdata.xml”.  Again, hold down you "control" key, and click on this file, then select "open with safari".

  • I keep getting an error message when I plug my iPhone into my computer.  It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device has not been started." This has never happened before when I plugged it in - now the iPhone won't show up at all.

    Someone please help!  I do not know how to fix this.  It keeps saying my Mobile Device has not been started and I can't get my phone to show up in the iTunes window AT ALL. It will charge while plugged in, but it just won't come up in iTunes.

    Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

  • My ipod is locked to where it has to be plugged into itunes to fix it, but our computer crashed, so itunes is no longer available, and it won't work. What should i do?

    this is not my ipod. it is my friend's. her computer crashed and itunes was destroyed. how can i fix it?

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.  First redownload all apps on the new computer.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    Then connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes.  You will be asked to enter the passcode.  If you have the passcode you may be able to make a backup.  If so then backuop it by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup.  Then restore from backup. If the passcode is unknown they you will have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it .  You will have to restore to factory defaults since the computer does not have a backup.

    My daughters iphone 5 keeps having something come on her phone that says "invalid sim" or "no sim". Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? It does not help by turning her phone off and back on again.

  • Difficulty converting file keeps coming up with "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online

    Can't convert file keeps coming up with message "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online.

    Hi Dude291,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble with ExportPDF. Can you please tell me a bit more about what's going on, so we can get to the bottom of the issue?
    What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the browser cache?
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    Are you able to convert other files? Or is the error specific to this one file?
    How large or complex is  the file that you're trying to convert?
    Are you accessing ExportPDF from a networked computer that may have firewall/proxy settings that are limiting access to the Internet?
    I think that's good for starters. Please get back to us with some detail about the problem and we will see what we can do.
    Best,
    Sara
