Nano 7 Won't Sync??

I am trying to sync playlists and songs to my 7th generation nano. It always says it will remove from my device if I sync.
Under Summary-Options I have selected "manually manage music and videos"
I can not select "sync only selected songs and videos" It is greyed out.
Under Music-Sync Music I can not select anything because it is greyed out.
I am beyond frustrated. I have the newest edition of itunes and I just want the playlists that show up in itunes to show up on my ipod.
What am I doing wrong??

Under Summary-Options I have selected "manually manage music and videos"

You cannot automatically sync if you have selected "manually manage music & videos." You will need to uncheck that selection restart your computer and try again if you want to automatically sync.

Hi caro101,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano not being recognized in iTunes.

If you see your iPod in My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8) but not in iTunes under Devices, try these steps. Start at the top and work your way through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod.
If you don't see your iPod in My Computer, follow these steps.
This document is for Windows users and most older iPod models. See the following articles if you have this issue on:
A Mac
An iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch)
An iPod nano (5th or 6th generation) (and you see an alert message in iTunes when you connect the device)

Ipod nano 8GB won't synced duplicate file name

I reinstalled windows and itunes and now my nano 8GB will not sync, I get a message saying, "a duplicated file name was specified". How can I correct this?

Have you tried resetting your iPod or go through any of the 5 R's? You may also want to make sure your Library doesn't contain any duplicate tracks. If this is the case, then the iPod may be skipping duplicates. This may not be the issue, but it doesn't hurt to check. Got to the top of iTunes and select View-->Show Duplicates. Another question is something that may seem like a stupid one, but just checking all possibilites....do you have files in your library that are not music tracks? Such as videos?

IPod Nano 8gb Won't Sync Whole Library

I just got a new MacBook Pro and a new Nano and when I try to sync my library it syncs all but 2 songs and I dont know why. I am not out of space on my iPod it just won't put 2 songs on it and I don't know which ones they are. The first time it synced my iPod it synced all but one song now it is 2. All of my music is legit too. It is all imported from my cds or purchased from the iTunes music store so I know its not a corrupted file or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

IPod Nano (8G) won't sync

I got an iPod Nano for Christmas and after I had installed it into my computer it was operating just fine. But a week ago I went to sync up some new music and it wouldn't let me. I got a messege stating that "an unknown error had occurred". I tried everything I know to do, but I still get that error message. I ran a diagnostics and the USB ports are working fine, along with everything else. However, it says that it isn't recognizing my iPod. I have two, and the other is having the same problem. Do you have any idea what may be happening, and how I might be able to solve the problem? I initially thought it was my iPod and so I sent it to Apple to have them check it out. But now that I'm having similar problems with my old iPod I'm beginning to think that it may be a problem with my computer. Can you possibly shed some light on this?

Had the exact same problem with mine. This may or may not be the answer to your problem but - the guy at the apple store told us that the new nano isn't equiped to be used with some of the older audio systems. Mind you mine is a Bose speaker docking station that we bought Christmas of 2005, but I digress. The problem is apparently that too much juice rushes through the Nano and fries it. They replaced mine since I didn't have it more than 90 days.
Hope this helps...

IPod Nano won't sync with iTunes on new laptop

When I first got my new laptop about a month ago I did the 'homesharing' technique to be able to use my iTunes on it, it worked successfully up until I tried to purchase new music from the iTunes Store & upload music into my Library from my laptop.. It just wouldn't sync onto my Nano! Every time I clicked the Sync tab nothing would happen even though the music had all been purchased/uploaded perfectly fine. I had ofcourse made sure my iTunes was 'activated' onto my new laptop, etc etc & when I went onto my old laptop to try it on there all the music DID sync onto my Nano.
Since then I've re-installed iTunes several times even copied my full iTunes folder onto an external USB stick & transferred it that way & still my Nano will not sync with my iTunes! The new iTunes isn't helping much either as I find it quite confusing to work out as it's totally different. But yeah even with the new iTunes upgrade my Nano still won't sync.
I'm at a loss, I've no idea what the problem is! Can anyone help?

Error -48, my Nano won't sync!

Kudos to everyone!
Anyway, my Nano just won't sync and I really have no idea why. Everytime I attempt to sync, a little message pops up saying "error -48, unable to sync." Now, my iPod is being used as an external hardrive and I did unplug it without ejecting it from iTunes first, but I've done this before without having any problems. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, Ginnylee.
Hey, give your iPod and PC some time off and see if that helps. That method works out for me quite a bit. Try resetting your iPod, too.
And, I just now realised you posted here (5 days later...) so, post back if your iPod figured itself out.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I recently bought some songs from itunes, and I tried to sync my mac air laptop to my nano ipod, but it didn't work. I usually use my PC computer to do this, and my music is in the itunes library on my mac, it just won't sync to my ipod. Any ideas?Thanks!

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

IPod Nano 3rd Gen. Problems [Rebooting, Won't Sync Contact/Calendar Data]

I have noticed that my iPod nano will reboot itself after it has been syncing/charging. It reboots when I go to the last playlist that was playing before I began to sync/charge it. Also, it would randomly reboots when I am selection a playlist.
Then, it won't sync my contact/calendar data if it nearly full. But I can sync them when it is nearly empty.
What is causing the problem and how can I fix it?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...
