iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

ITunes 7 won't sync some songs to an iPod nano upgraded to 1.3 software

I make the HUGE mistake of upgrading iTunes 7 (won't do THAT again) and upgrading the software on my 4GB nano to 1.3 (won't do THAT again, either). Of course, I hit the good 'ol recovery loop -- thanks, guys -- when I trial-and-error'ed my way out of that. Then it told me it wouldn't sync about 150 songs I PURCHASED FROM THE ITUNES STORE because "you're not authorized to play those songs on this computer." What kind of nonsense is THAT?

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and provide your account information when prompted.

Ipod Nano - Upgraded iTunes will not allow changes

Hello,
I have the 1st generation iPod Nano which I frequently connect to my Mac when I change my playlists or add music. My Mac recently updated the iTunes to the newest version and now I'm having troubles with the iPod connection.
Specifically, when I plug in the iPod it sync's with iTunes and I can visually see all my songs and playlists. However, everything is greyed out. When I click on a song or playlist it does not allow me to make any changes. Including creating a new playlist or modifying a current one. It did however add new songs to the iPod through the sync.
Do you know how I would go about removing the restriction so I could edit or create new playlists?
Thanks!
Roz

It did however add new songs to the iPod through the sync.
If the greyed out songs are on the iPod (when you look at it in iTunes), I think that is normal IF doing a sync adds new songs to the iPod. That means you are using automatic syncing to load content, not the Manually manage music setting. When you use automatic syncing, you cannot update what is on the iPod directly, which is why the songs are not accessible on the iPod (greyed out). Instead, you update your iTunes library, and iTunes updates the iPod automatically, based on how you have the iPod's Music syncing screen set up.
If you want to update the iPod directly, you need to set it to Manually manage music. That setting is on the iPod's Summary settings screen, which is the screen you see when you select the iPod in iTunes (click on the "device button" in iTunes 12). But if you do that, iTunes will no longer sync changes to the iPod automatically.

I upgraded from Shuffle to 3rd gen Nano and it tells me installation....

Nano failed. I have reset the Nano, upgraded my iTunes, deauthorized my shuffle... nothing is working. What do I need to do to get my Nano installed? The shuffle worked perfectly.

'Nano failed' -- not nearly enough information. It's like saying, 'Doctor, health bad. What do I do?'

Ipod nano does not sync with itunes library, ipod nano does not sync with itunes library

bought an ipod nano, upgraded Itunes to version 11 running on Windows 8.
My nano is set up with a different apple ID than my main account, but it won't sync with my Itunes Library, When I plug it in via USB, the IPOD nano icon shows up in Itunes, but when I do File>Devices>Sync, the Snyc is grayed out.
does the differenct apple ID on the nano have anything to do with the fact that it is different from my Itunes Apple ID, is that causing a problem? Most of the music in my library is uploads from CDs I had already owned, not Itunes purchases.
Solutions?

Automatic syncing is set up on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, which is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there.
To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits on iPod. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab. For example (if you want to keep it simple), you can create a new playlist in iTunes and add all songs you want on the iPod to that playlist. Back on the Music tab, checkmark that playlist. There are many ways to set it up...
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs syncs to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
Therefore, if you create that playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs) whenever you want, and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

Link to the 2nd Gen Nano Update?

Hello. I'm a new user to these forums, and a proud owner of the new 2nd Gen 2 GB iPod Nano since the day it shipped. Well, come time to update my new iPod, iTunes tells me it cannot connect to the internet. It doesn't even look. I click "Update" and instantly, it say iTunes cannot connect to the internet. But I am connected, or else I couldn't be posting this right now. :P My question is this: Is there a place on Apple's website that I can manually download the iPod Nano upgrade, instead of doing it in iTunes? And if so, where? I'm running Windows XP, if you need to know. Thank you.

I think that even if you do it from the website it will open up your itunes. You can try that and see if it works though.

Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

Apple is hurt its own image

If Apple wants to keep their customers happy who have followed them from day one they need to address this issue.
I have had macs from the start. Bought the first ipod that ever came out, I've also gone through an ipod Nano, upgraded ipod, and video ipod now. More than one mac book in recent years. And I am probably likely to buy a new macs, ipods and new updated phones in the furture. HOWEVER, this latest move makes me wonder whether or not I should wait and see if the prices drop and by how much. It even makes me wonder if it is really truely worth paying the extra money for Apple... lets face it everyone knows the price tag on anything Apple exceeds the competition. What has made it worth it in the past is superior products and the fact that they do keep their value and worth long after buying it. By cutting prices like this Apple has just hurt itself more than me. I wasn't looking for or expecting a refund of any amount, but rather the confidence that the phone I just bought was worth the $600 I paid. Clearly, Apple doesn't believe it was and this is hurting its own image more than me.
However, I would like a refund or partial credit for the money I am out.

I agree 100%.

Bug with on the go playlist?

I have a nano 2g 8GB. Docs say click and hold the button on a song, album, artist, or playlist to add to the on the go playlist. However, i find that only click and hold on song actually works. I just took the 1.1 nano upgrade and checked again and this is still the case.
Seems like bug to me.

Yes it is a bug with the 8GB nano. It's been well documented here already.

After upgrade to Windows 8.1, ipod nano 7th gen not recognized

/after upgrading to Windows 8.1, ITunes does not recognize my ipod nano 7th gen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes but no luck. I have gone through all steps in troubleshooting, but it still doesn't recognize it. Help!

Hi cindywindy,
If your iPod Nano is no longer recognized in iTunes after a recent system upgrade, you may find the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...

After upgrading to OS 10.8.5 I am unable to sync iCal to Nano

I am no longer able to sync my nano device with my calender on my computer. I've noticed this after upgrading to OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). I've tried adjusting the settings on the nano device via itunes, but no luck. Please give me some helpful suggestions. Thanks.

I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
