My IPOD Nano NOT syncronising with my Macbook Air

I have an 8 gb Nano which I was formerly using with a PC. I now have a MacBook Air (MA)and have transferred my music library to the new MA. I 'restored' my NANO which I took to be reformatting it for use with the MA but it is not working. When I plug in the Nano it shows as connected for a short time and shows the bar icon suggesting a transfer of files is taking place, then its icon disappears from ITunes. When I click 'syncronising' ITunes says it can't find device. I have reset the Nano and unpluggged and re-connected a number of times. The NANO still says 'No Music' and shows no evidence of files having been transferred. What to do?

Seemed to resolve itself! Everything comes to them that wait!

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air.

    pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air. They do however sync to the iPad. Everything is turned on for sharing. Pictures sent to me opened in iMessage or email and then I save into the photos app on my iPad do sync with my laptop. It is just  pictures taken with the phone. They only go to iPad and do make it to the laptop. What gives

    All syncing set the same way, iCloud turned on, photo stream turned on on iPhone and iPad and laptop. Photos from phone do sync to iPad, just not the laptop. I have done this for years. Never had a problem until I got the new system update and the new iPhoto app on laptop. I even tried uploading all my photos to,iCloud. Iit was taking so long I gave up nod turned it off. After that I noticed photo stream which was not on my palmtop iPhoto app sudeenly showed up.

  • My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

    My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
    both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

    I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

    I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.

    # Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • Ipod nano not synching with itunes:  HELP!!

    I just purchased an ipod nano and tried to synch with the latest version of itunes. I'm unable to synch and get an error -53. Does anyone know of this error? I tried calling support and was on the phone for over 3 hours and was unable to receive any help from them.

    The error messeges that I get when trying to update my ipod to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 is 1417. The error when I try to synch or restore is -53. Does anyone know what they mean? I just purchased an Intek21 high speed USB card. I also get an error on the diagnostic regarding no IEEE 1394 host controller. I'm not using a firewire though, it's a USB connection.

  • Ipod nano not syncing with Windows 7

    Just replaced my XP with Windows7.  Downloaded ITunes and have downloaded my music from cloud.  My IPod Nano is not shown on the screen, yet the battery charges.  It seems that Dell has too many obstacles preventing music from syncing to nano.  What needs to be disabled?

  • Personal Hotspot not working with my MacBook Air

    Hi Community
    So I have an iPhone 6 and a MacBook Air (Mid2013), who both meet the requirements for the new personal Hotspot in iOS8.
    I connected the 2 devices and it worked for some time. I could activate the personal hotspot without even touching the phone. I was very happy, but suddenly it stopped working, although I didn't install a new update on any of the two devices (both are still up to date). At some point, I had to turn the hotspot on manually to get it working, but now, the only way to connect to my hotspot, is to start diagnostics and connect trough that window.
    The bluetooth connection works without a problem& my iPhone hotspot works perfectly with my iPad 3.
    I tried everything, someone wrote on a website that the iCloud might me the problem, so I disconnected both devices from iCloud and reconnected afterwards. It worked exactly once after that. Then, my MacBook kept saying that the personal hotspot could not be activated (even if I activated the hotspot manually).
    Thanks for every kind of help, I'm super frustrated

    Hey TjAmmann,
    I see that you are having some issues with connecting to your Personal Hotspot on you iPhone 6. I see that you have also started troubleshooting the issue, and in order to help you with that, I would like to suggest that you use the troubleshooting steps found in the following article to help you:

  • 7th gen iPod Nano not recognized with Windows 8

    I am running Win8 and am having trouble getting my 7th gen Nano to be recognized either as a device on my PC or in iTunes. Is the Nano compatible with Win8? I have worked thru many of the troubleshooting guides and Apple support pages. Have the most current version of iTunes and have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service all to no avail. Any other suggestions?

  • Ipod nano not working with my Ipod / Itunes setup

    I have just bought a 30 GB Ipod and set this up on my Dell Windows XP computer. This works fine and I have been able to synchronise the majority of my music with it.
    At the same time, however, I bought my daughter a 2 gb nano. This I cannot get to work on the same computer, even though it recognises it as a different source. It won't let me set up a specific playlist for the nano, or manually add music files.
    Is there some restriction on using 2 ipods together on one machine that I should be aware of?

    You can use two or more iPods on one computer. There are a couple of methods. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Are you getting any error messages when you try to set up your playlists or drag your music manually?: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • Ipod Nano not showing with enough memory

    I reset my Nano, without any songs on it is is saying my memory available is 3.7GB not 4. Why is this?
    Please advise
      Windows XP  

    Manufacturers define a kilobyte as having 1000 bytes, while computers define a kilobyte as 1024 bytes. Therefore, you usually won't be able to use the advertised capacity on an iPod or other portable storage device; this works out to a drive advertised as 4GB having about 3.72GB of usable capacity.

  • IPod Nano not recognized on my MacBook Pro

    I want to recharge my iPod - works fine on my 24" iMac, but on the laptop - it's not being recognized... it doesn't even show up on the desktop!
    and - it's not charging...
    help?!
    thanks!

    For whatever reason, this is happening to me as well. I'm suspecting something happened in the 10.5.1 update--this is the first time I've gone to charge since then. All was fine before with 10.5.
    misterioso270: are you running 10.5 or 10.5.1?
