My new ipod nano can't be detected by PC

It was working before same PC, same ipod nano. When it works, the screen showing "Do Not Disconnected" when ipod nano connected to PC and it also works with iTunes for downloading or any other functions. But now, the screen is only showing "Charging with big battery icon in green color", the ipod nano can't be detected by PC. I don't know what happened. I did download the latest version of iTunes and went through all step that Apple suggested but it doesn't work at all.
What's happening in my new ipod nano? I just bought it in 2 weeks ago and if it can't be function with iTunes for downloading, how come I bought the 8GB new version of ipod nano? I'm very upset about the ipod. Please kinly help to fix the problem. Thank you.

Okay, sounds like we have either a questionable USB port on the Computer or the iPhone or a bad USB cable. Anything you can do to isolate where the problem connection is will help come up with a mitigation and/or resolution. You could connect something else you may have to your USB port on the computer, such as a camera. That may tell us the Computer and associated USB port is working. You also could tell us if the iPhone and the USB cable charges your iPhone when connected to your charger and a wall outlet. Now if both those tests prove successful, there still could be a problem with your USB cable. If you have another cable you should try it.

When I download from iTunes to my new iPod nano, can I select only the one folder I have made for download -- do not want my whole music library to be synched.

Am I able to download only a selected music folder I have created in iTunes to my new iPod nano? I do not want to download my whole music library. Want to know before whole site sync starts up automatically.

What you CAN do is create a playlist in iTunes containing all the content you wish to be synced to your Nano. Then configure your Nano to sync only that one playlist from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes.

Syncing New iPod Nano

I have an old iPod that I want to keep up to date, as well as a new iPod Nano - can I sync both devices with my iTunes account? When I attach my new iPod Nano, the sync function is not available.

After you connect your iPod on iTunes, click on the iPod bar, that appears on iTunes, take a look:
What you neew to do now is just go to the TOP bar and click on MUSIC, there you can select the playlist or individual songs or albums you want to send to iPod.
A 2nd way is select your songs from the library and drop it to the iPod icon, behind "devices" Menu.

Can i use my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro

I registered my new ipod nano 7th generation on my macbook pro. While on my macbook, I tried to download wma audiobooks from the library using overdrive media console & its not working.....so, I decided to use my windows laptop. I have the latest version of itunes on both laptops. (I know I can download & transfer wma audiobooks to my shuffle using overdrive media console & windows laptop.) I'm getting an error message that says I have to reformat my nano if I want to download wma audiobooks. Can I use my nano on macbook pro & windows laptop? will I ever be able to download wma audiobooks to my nano using macbook?

Your iPod Nano will need to be restored in iTunes on the Windows laptop before you can start adding/syncing content over to it.
Or if you want to use it with OverDrive on the Mac, you'll need to download the books as MP3s as WMA is not supported.

HT1727 I lost my old iPod and bought a new one. The old one had many of MY personally owned and legally bought CDs on it. I have those iTunes backed up ant now I can't seem to "synch" them to the new iPod nano.

I can't seem to synch my new iPod nano to the legally purchased music from CDs that had been on my old iPod which I've lost.
I had a backup of all those iTunes that I want to import to the new nano.
How can I "synch" the new iPod nano to the music I see in an iTune library? The new iPod nano displays "no music" and
doesn't play anything.

Hello PrettyinPinkInk,
You might consider restoring the iPhone, then removing the SIM card after activating the iPhone, so as to use it as an iPod Touch. This should prevent any unwanted association with a phone number, and thus, voicemail, as well.

Can't see brand new iPod Nano in Windows!!!

I just bought a brand new iPod Nano (2nd Gen) for my daughter for Christmas, and right out of the box it would not be recognized by Windows XP or iTunes -- even though another iPod Nano (1st Gen) that we own did connect. It was charging though.
I used this forum looking for answers and although helpful, there was an awful lot of misleading advice. I finally called the help line 1-800-275-2273 on this website http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
What I was told was to simply go through the reset process (which I had ignored because it seemed too simple). The steps are to flip the hold button a couple of times and then hold the menu and select (center) button down at the same time for 10 seconds. The iPod will power back up and be reset.
What this tells me is that Apple has a problem with the software originally loaded on these iPods, but at least this simple procedure solved the problem. I thought I would come back here and provide you with the solution to this problem -- hopefully saving you a lot of time! Good luck!!

I agree with you, Apple to me has some type of problem with their iPods. I've used some type of computer device since 1971, and in all this time, I have never used a device such as the iPod with so many quirks.
I tell you one thing the iPod makes you think!!! O;-D
I'm afraid to buy Apple Care because during the 1st year of owning an iPod you get support that really is not much help. Within the 1st year of owning an iPod, a customer can purchase the Apple Care Plan. The Apple Care Plan is only 2 years, and then you are on your own. If Apple had confidence in their iPod's, they would offer a longer warranty period.
The only thing I see Apple Care is good for is that if something catastrophic happen, they will pay for shipping and any parts that are needed to fix it.
Their stock is doing great. Where is the money going???

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.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Can an old iPod classic charger brick be used with new iPod nano?

I have an Apple ModelA1102 W005A050 wall charger. I came with the iPod I purchased in 2005.
Can it be used to charge the new iPod nano I just purchased?
Thanks.

Yes so long as it has a USB connection on it.

Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software. The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

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.

Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath. Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.
