Nano and Shuffle read "synced" but aren't.

Hi, all. I'm a newbie here.
I download from two playlists to my Nano (Gen. 4, 16Gb) and to my Shuffle (Gen. 3, 4 or 6 Gb), to keep the categories of music separate. Since upgrading to version 9-point-whatever, both iPods read almost immediately as "Syncing complete. You may now disconnect," without then automatically continuing to both synch and recharge, nor to give a warning on the screen not to disconnect until both are complete (about three hours, right?).
BUT when I do disconnect and check the Menu on both of them, the newest purchases/uploads that have successfully been entered, and show up listed, in my Library are NOT THERE.
Not only that: My Shuffle has successfully downloaded only about 110 of the over 200 songs: Exactly the first 110, alphabetically.
Remedies, anyone?
The problem should not be lack of memory, as my entire library is only 117_(? seventy-something) songs large, and just a little over 900 constitute the larger of the two playlists (for the Nano). I have no applications but songs running on either iPod.
So: any help out there?
Any assistance or tips would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Resolved the problem by reverting to previous software version.

I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Having trouble Syncing my nano and shuffle using the same libary

I have only one libary but I have a iPod nano and a iPod shuffle. When I connect to itunes to sync my shuffle, everything goes well. Then I try to sync my nano but it does not sync. Yesterday I bought a album from the iTune store and I was able to sync the new songs into my Shuffle. I can not do that with my nano? Can someone help me understand what needs to be done? Both are carbon copys with the same songs. One my husband uses and I use the shuffle. I would appreciate any help

I get no error message. I first plug in my shuffle - everything syncs. Then I plug in the Nano, it just sits there. I go to the top and try to click on "sync ipod" but it is light gray and will not allow me to click on it.

Second generation nano thinks it's syncing, but never makes it into Itunes

After my own 2nd generation nano died, my mom gave me her (never used) one.
(Just a caveat, I am a new Mac user)
When connecting it to my iMac (Mac OSX Version 10.7.5), it shows the usual "do not disconnect" message that it would when syncing-- except it never appears under "devices" in Itunes (11.3) and will not sync. It does, however, show up on the desktop. I believe this ipod has previously been connected to a Windows PC, although my mother never actually used it.
Any thoughts on what to do? Because the ipod is doing the whole "sync screen" thing despite not doing anything, I'm unable to use it to do anything while connected to the computer, rendering the suggestions in other similar posts useless. And I can't reset it because I can't access the device in any capacity through Itunes.
It's definitely connected to the computer, since it appears on my desktop and charges, but Itunes refuses to recognize it.
Any suggestions would be wonderful!
Thanks!

I personally think it’s more basic than that. When you do it manually it works. Look at this;

Then

If there is a loose association (pointers?) it may be randomly lost? But if you embead it manualy, it works. What I don’t understand is why Apple is not supporting such basic functionality.

My itunes no longer recognises my ipod nano and won't sync. Any advice?

My ipod nano is no longer recognised by itunes and won't sync. Itunes is on a Window 8 computer and while windows sees the device, itunes won't? Any advice?

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.
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
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)

Exchange account verified and configured for sync, but no messages show up

I think I'm having what appears to be, based on my reading of the threads on problems with Exchange set-up, a unique problem. Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and has advice.
I am able to verify and configure my Exchange mail account for sync (using my company's OWA server), but when I go into the mail application I see only my mail folders. The e-mails themselves do not appear. When I tap on a folder to access the messages inside I get a blank screen and a "connecting" message on the bottom.
When I have SSL on, the phone continually prompts me for my password and no matter how many times I enter the correct password it tells me it's wrong. I later get a message that mail cannot be accessed or sent because the "username or password" for the account is incorrect.
When I turn SSL off, I don't get the password prompt, but my messages still don't appear. The phone goes through the whole "connecting" cycle and then says "updated" but there are no e-mails visible and I cannot send.
I was able to set up the account as IMAP but this requires fetching messages and I really want to be able to configure push using Exchange ActiveSync. The company that runs our work email server (we are a small business and don't house the server internally) says it has other iPhones up and running using ActiveSync and the same information I've entered, so they're stumped as to what the problem is.
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance.

Justin - try this
For those of you experiencing problems using OWA through Exchange on iPhone, I may have found a solution. Symptoms I had and have read about -
1. You enter all your account information on iPhone (webmail.company.com, user name p-word, etc)
2. You can see only your folders on iPhone but with no emails inside them
3. you keep getting asked for your password on iPhone over and over
Maddening to get so close to only see folders. I fixed mine and the answer was right in front of my face the whole time. Before entering username and password on iPhone, the format of how it's supposed to be is ghosted - Domain\Name
When I was having the "folders only" issue I had username set up as Domain/Name
Turns out the slash is the difference, for me anyway. As soon I changed from front slash to back slash, entered my password (once) all my folders populated with emails. A miracle !
So to recap, here's my setup
Email - [email protected]
Server - [email protected]
Username - companyorg\name
Password - normal outlook password
Description - My Email Account
Use SSL - ON
I know there are many variations with Exchange and OWA depending on server setup, but the moral my story is back slash instead of front slash in the Domain\username field

HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud. However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Just got an iPod nano and cannot select sync option

Using nano and shuffle

I already have a shuffle and was bought a nano as a gift. What's the best way to transfer all the tunes from my shuffle onto the nano?

Assuming your songs are in your iTunes library on your computer, all you have to do is plug your nano in and sync. If you do not have the songs in your itunes library then you will need a third party program to extract the files from the shuffle back to your computer so that you can put them in the itunes library and then sync to the nano. Several have been listed on here but one that pops into mind is yamipod.com. Also, in iTunes 7.0 or higher you are able to put any tracks purchased from iTunes back on the computer via itunes.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/2586x.html
Please note that although the header states "Buying from the iTunes Store with other computers" if you scroll to the bottom you will see the shaded box that tells you how to get the music from your ipod onto itunes. Again, this is only for songs on your ipod that was purchased from the iTunes store.

How does this **** work? I have an Ipad and Iphone and an Itunes account and it won't sync anything...i don't understand why I spent a fortune on this crap that doesn't work. All I want to do is get my phone and ipad in sync but NO that isn't doable

Is everything Apple does ****? I can't sync anything all I want to do is get by iphone and ipad on the same page...but the syncing wants me to agree to delete everything...this is nuts...there is no help...is Apple's idea of help have the users be there help desk? there is no where to go and it is a joke!

And with that kind of attitude, it's unlikely that anyone here (and there are some extremely knowledgeable people here) will want to help.
If you really want help and aren't just here to rant, I suggest you start another thread in which you lay out the problem, including any error messages you may have received and any steps you may already have taken to solve the problem. Include details about any computer operating systems you may be using. And, do not include the attitude.
Best of luck.

Ipod Nano and Shuffle on the same computer?

Hi guys,
I’m having a problem. I recently connected my 2nd gen nano to my friend’s computer (who has a shuffle) and it thinks I’m her. How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?
The problem is that now she has tried to connect her shuffle to i-tunes and it’s rejecting her!
I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?
Thanks!!
Natalie.

"How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?"
Create a separate Windows User account for each person on the PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
Using Windows XP User Accounts
"I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?"
Have a look at this troubleshooting page, changing the drive letter for the iPod might solve the confusion: iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

I have an iphone 3 and outlook 2010. I cleaned up all my outlook contacts and tried to sync but not all of the existing contacts on my phone show up in outlook. Is there a way to sync all numbers on iphone to oulook so I can clean them up from my desktop?

I have an Iphone 3 and use Outlook 2010. I just recently tried to sync with my desktop using Itunes and once they were synced I cleaned up alot of the contacts using outlook but when I tried to sync them not all the information from outlook made it to my iphone. Additionally, there are a lot of contacts in my iphone that are not showing up in outlook. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!
