  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen will not sync.

    My ipod nano 6th gen will not sync. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes; I have reset the nano; I have used a different USB port and connector; I have rebooted my computer. Any suggestions?

    I just did the same. Spent at least two hours trying different actions. Then uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. Also used a different USB port, etc. Also rebooted computer.   No option for syncing is showing up on Itunes and when I run diagnostics it says there is no device detected- yet it is plugged into a USB port and the screen on the Nano says connected. HELP

  • IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

    Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

  • IPod Nano (6th gen) will not sync.

    Okay, I have an iPod Nano (6th generation) that won't sync. I've reset the iPod many times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, done all the suggestions given by the troubleshooting assistant, and still nothing. When I plug it in, it turns on and begins charging, but the computer doesn't do anything. It doesn't make a little sound, it doesn't say it recognized a device. It just does nothing. I'm not in a serious rush to fix this, but I recently got some new podcasts that I REALLY want to sync on there. Does anybody have suggestions? I seriously need help.

    I just did the same. Spent at least two hours trying different actions. Then uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.

  • Nano 6th gen, can I sync with iphone & how many times can I download music

    Hi,
    I'm new to this, so I'm sorry if I make a mistake...
    I'm getting an nano 6th generation and I wondered if I can use the itunes I've bought for my iphone and music downloaded or if I have to start from scratch?  Also, if I use the music can I use it endlessly, like when I get a new iphone & then a new one or is there a limit to howmany times I can put it onto a new device?
    Many thanks!

    Using the same Apple ID you can sync iTunes purchases to your nano without having to re purchase.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

    I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
    After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
    I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
    I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
    Thanks for any Replies

    Doublechecking. Have you 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:

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync - help please!

    I lost my iTunes and all my music when my laptop died, but managed somehow to get it all back onto my new laptop - none of my music is purchased though iTunes but downloaded separately or from CDs. However when I sync my iPod it doesn't actually change anything or add new songs from my iTunes, and playlists on my iPod do not appear in my iTunes. Help please! I've tried manually managing my music and syncing but that doesn't work either, and when I plugging it into my computer it says on the iPod screen that its syncing but it doesn't show that it is in iTunes.

    Depending on how you add content to your iPod, have you seen this article?

  • HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen

    I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.

    In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

  • IPod nano 6th gen

    My iPod nano (6th gen) won't sync to iTunes. I have tried un and reinstalling iTunes, reseting my iPod, and have unchecked enable disc use and manually manage music and vidoes. When I click on sync it shows on both my iPod and in iTunes that it is syncing, however no music (or other items) show up on my iPod, and the it is the same with iTunes nothing on my iPod will show up there ( I recently got a new laptop (asus windows 8.1) and have used this iPod and iTunes without any trouble previously) I have been through all of the iPod help instructions and completed them sucsessfully. I'm really not a technical wizz, PLEASE help me!!??
