Nano Help! I must be an idiot....

Have the do not disconnect flashing on my Nano and cannot get it off, plus, my songs I downloaded to my Nano are gone.
1) Have 1.1 USB port, but have been told it's o.k, songs would just download to IPOD slower
2) Initially downloaded 15-songs to Nano w/no trouble.
3) After updating my library to approx 100-songs, I downloaded them all to my Nano. Upon trying to start my Nano I received the error message Folder w/exclamation point. I followed instructions and ended up downloading updated ITUNES software and IPOD Updater. Now I keep getting the Do not disconnect flashing message. I tried to follow all instructions on how to safely eject, but I cannot as ITUNES does not recognize my Nano. I finally unplugged it. The Nano has displays on its window when unplugged, but all of my songs are gone. I can't figure out what to do. Help!! Thank you

I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

My nano is registered and my songs picked and redeemed the next question how do i tranfer on the the comp to my nano help!!

My nano is registered and my songs picked and redeemed on itunes i cant see to connect this to my nano help!!!!!!!!!!!

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

I have two users on my laptop. when i try to share my itune files from the main account, the second acount itunes will not find the files. the help suggestions must be for an older version of itunes. when i click find files-nothing happens.

I cannot share itune files on the same laptop. I have two users on my laptop using windows 7.file sharing is turned on,when i click on the itune startup screen-find music files, nothing happens. the instructions in the help section must be from an earlier version of itunes because the edit folder is not laid out like it describes.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

How can i transfer music from my libary to a friends nano help please!!!!!

I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano, his is connecting and showing up in the software but icannot find out how to transfer the albums into his nano, can someone help please. Also they are my albums not music from itunes thanks

I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano
That is illegal music sharing, so you won't get any help on Apple's official forums.
Also they are my albums not music from itunes
Irrelevant. Under copyright law, you do have the right to give a copy of these albums to anyone.

Ipod nano help

Okay, My ipod nano charges on my car charger, and when I plug it in to the computer, it does not. I know that the cord is not bad because I have bought a new one and tried my sister's. If the back light is off it will turn on when I plug it into the usb port. It is not recognized by itunes or windows XP...I have been on here for days trying to figure it out! I have reset it countless times and deleted registry files.......Can some one please help?!

Have you verified that that particular USB port on your machine is producing the required 500 mA of power for the iPod? Often, ports mounted on the front of the machine have a slightly lower power output. To verify, you may wish to try plugging it into a different port (preferrably one on the back of your machine,) or into a powered USB 2.0 hub.

Itunes ipod Nano Help!!!

I have an ipod nano 1gb. On itunes i upgraded to the newer one. now i could only add less than 27 song. The capacity is now 896 MB. I use to can add more than 90 songs on my 1gb ipod nano. anybody know how this can be fixed?
Thanks

first question is is there a setting i can choose
(either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make
the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the
default?
No.
however, most
of my songs require a program called NJStar
Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese
characters -
I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

Ipod nano help with games!

Need Help. Unresponsive Nano. help?

Well, a few days ago i was listening to my Nano while i was going to bed. I would turn it off by holding down the play button and the pressing the hold slider to "hold position". It was working perfect before i layed it down on the table near where I sleep.
A few days later, i decide i want to listen to it while i go out and play some tennis, so i try to turn it on in order to see how much charge it has. Next thing i know the black apple screen pops up as normal and i get a folder with a notice sign next to it. So i think, "what the heck?!" and underneath the little notice Icon it gives me this link.
" www.apple.com/support/ipod "
So i go to this link, check out what it means. Try to restart the Nano over and over but it just goes black, and then gives me the Icon and URL and then turns off. I have no idea what to do at that point.
So, i come here to download the new updates and decide to just install the new updates and restore it back to factory settings. So i download the 3-23-06 updates and install, it gives me "error" or something. So i uninstall it. Re-install the same 3-23-06 updates and run it, restart computer and still error. So i say screw it. Uninstall and then go to my Ipod Nano case and get out my old CD with the old updates on it. Install it, restart, let it initialize.
Then i connect my Ipod to my computer via USB and then my Nano then says "do not dissconect" and the circling arrows are going around. So i leave it for about 5 minutes going and when i come back same thing. So i ditch that plan and run the old updates, detects it and tells me that i need to restore. So, i click restore and then let it run and when i come back it says "Can not load Ipod". So then i reset it and try again. Same thing. This is while it still says "do not disconnect". The Battery is Full.
So then i go to "my computer" and see that it detects (I:) Drive. Which is my Ipod. So i click it, and it tells me "the disk in Drive I is not formatted. Format now?". So i click yes, just to see what happens. Then it tells me... "the disk in Drive (I:) can not be formatted" and thats it.
I have no clue what is going on. I might try to connect it to antother computer and see if that helps. Any suggestions?
If needed i can get a movie.

Ok, so now the same screen has been going on for about 10 minutes. I seriously needed this to work, because im going on a trip to see family in a few hours. I guess im going to have to try to listen to my sisters.
I tried it in Disk Mode, I tried it in regular mode.
In Diskmode it says "it is ok to dissconect Ipod, then i put int he USB and it says "do not dissconect". I got to I: Drive and still, cant be read. Everytime i start my Ipod in normal mode i get a black apple logo, and then it gives me a folder with a sign with a exclamation point in it. Beneath that it says "apple.com/support/ipod". It then shuts down, and on some occasions goes to a "do not dissconect" screen, even when its not plugged in.
I have tried everything. I have tried it on 3 different computers and nothing has fixed it. I am about to call Apple Support and see what i can do. This really *****, it was a gift from my girlfriend who i love very much, it means a lot to me to get this fixed. GRR.. My backlight doesnt even turn on.

IPod Nano Help! Stops song then resets by its self.

I have a iPod nano 4G (1st Genaration) and when i go to shuffle my songs, a song starts to play. But then when I skip to the next song, It doesn't play it and then it resets by its self. Any help would be great.

It may not solve the problem, but just turn shuffle off when you're listening to your music so that you can hear it, at least.

I can't do anything with my iPod Nano, help urgently!!!

Hi!
The other day I was trying to update my iPod nano with the latest iPod software but the program went frozen so I can't do anything. I disconnected the iPod -even when in the iPod window appears the "Do not disconnect"- and I saw that all the songs I had were gone, I tried to connect it again but since that day appears the same "Do not disconnect" but in My PC only appears a new disk unity and in my iTunes doesn't appear anything. I tried to enter to the disk unity but I can't and when I disconnect the iPod, it appears a message of "nothing could be written in the unity G" or something.
Please, if somebody could help me I would thanks forever!

Try resetting the iPod: plug it into the wall charger, switch the hold button On and Off, and hold the center button and Menu for about 8 seconds. If that doesn't work, try the other 4 R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
As a sidenote: when you want to disconnect, you have to either do it through iTunes (click on the grey arrow next to the iPod icon on the left hand side of the iTunes screen), or through Windows Hardware Manager (in the taskbar on the bottom of the screen, double click the icon of a grey box with a green arrow in it-select the iPod & click Stop>OK).

Corrupt file error - ipod nano (HELP!)

Each time that I put a new CD into my computer and add it to my iTunes library so that I can transfer the songs onto my iPod nano I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already. This happened again yesterday and this time ALL of the songs on my iPod were erased! I don't know what the problem is and why I'm getting this "corrupt file" message. I need help - does anyone know what I can do?

hiya!
I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already.
it's plausible here that you're getting the drive-confusion-related version of the chkdsk (based on the fact that you're constantly getting the iPod setup assistant).
see:
Da Gopha: chkdsk errors
and:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

2 computers...lost playlist on nano--help!

We have two computers in our house. We bought a nano and installed everything on the "downstairs" computer. We were able to get playlists working and downloads from itunes etc. But then we installed it on "upstairs" computer and connected the nano thinking our playlists would "update" the upstairs computer but we lost our playlists. I tried to update the nano by connecting it back to the downstairs computer where our playlists are housed on itunes but every time I "update ipod" we don't get our lists back on the ipod. Please help.
PS FYI everyone.. right earbud poor--static, and yes we have scatches too.. 2nd nano in one week --firmware bad, so I was told. Looks like we are all having same problems. I thought it was just my bad luck.

Hi,
Baased on my experience I have had to create the playlists per computer. I haven't been able to get them to transfer to another computer. I think it's because the infomation flow is one way. From your computers to the iPod and not from your iPod to the computers. I have created the same set of playlists on both of my computers.
Another way to do this is to select manual update after you have the iPod in the state you like with the right playlists. Then the bnest computer you hook up to will not overwrite the playlists.
Remember each computer you connect to will ask if you want to sync with the system. If you say yes then all the settings and music from that computer will be what you have on the ipod. Connect to another computer that is different and say yes and it changes to the settingss from that computer.
Good luck
Best Regards
Yosam
