Nano won't update new songs from library

When I first connected nano, my itunes copied all my songs to the ipod very well. But if I add new song to my library, connect ipod nano to my computer, it says updating, done. But the song isn't in my nano. Whats going on? PC user.

Have you tried Restoring iPod to factory settings with the Latest iPod Updater?

  • New iPhone won't update new songs from library

    i recently purchased an iphone 5s and now it won't sync and update changes to playlists or newly purchased songs from my macbook. i have synced the phone repeatedly. i have synced the phone through the cloud . but because of the cloud i can no longer manually control the music from on the phone . does anyone have any advice.. thanks

    Cindy,
    Windows Address Book is what Outlook Express uses for contacts. If you put everything into Outlook 2003, then you will want to change the pull-down menu from Windows Address Book to Outlook.
    For more information about syncing the contacts to your iPhone, please check out these articles:

    Hope this helps,

  • My iPod Nano won't update new songs onto it!

    Alright, so i went to go download new music one day in the Music Store and it said that I needed to download iTunes 6.0.2 or whatever its called. So i finally got the download to work and all my old music showed up and everything was fine. Then i decided to go and buy some more music (in the iTunes Music Store). All the downloads worked and everything and they play on my iTunes but when i plug my iPod into the USB port, it says its updating my iPod, and then it says it is complete but then when i look on my iPod itself, none of the new songs are there! I have no idea how to fix any of this so if someone has any suggestions that would be great!

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

  • IPod Nano won't accept new songs

    When I try to add new songs to my iPod Nano in iTunes it LOOKS like they get added. I can see them on the iPod, both at the top-level and in whatever playlist I put them in, and I can even PLAY them from the iPod in iTunes.
    But once I disconnect the iPod from the PC they're gone from the iPod - they're not in Songs or in any playlist. The only sign that I did anything is that Info shows the amount free space decremented by the size of the songs. So they're taking up space on the iPod but they're not visible.
    If I reconnect the iPod to iTunes it doesn't show them either (and it fixes the available space discrepancy, too).
    FWIW I currently have 291MB of free space, and 314 songs on my 2GB iPod Nano, PC is Win XP.
    Thanks in advance!

    > I'm sorry that there doesnt seem to be a better
    solution unless the post above applies :)
    Reloading the the songs seems like reloading the whole OS on a PC just because one DLL or Registry entry is bad or replacing a car engine because of a blown head gasket.
    Right now I have an Ipod with lots of songs on it that plays just fine. It just won't accept new songs. What if I dump everything to my PC, blow-everything-away, and try to reload it and it won't load ANY SONGS? I'm 4000 miles from home, so then I'm really stuck, with no tunes! From an engineering standpoint this approach just doesn't make sense to me. This is my first Apple product - are they all like this (i.e., if something acts up start over from scratch)?
    When I have my iPod connectd to my PC I can see all kinds of system files in iPod_Control\Device. Aren't there any diagnostics we can run on those to simply solve the problem?

  • Zen Nano, Can't load new songs from Walmart onto N

    I just got my Nano so I am a real newbie. I downloaded 3 songs from Walmart Music. They would not load onto my Nano. When I checked the "Properties" I noticed they were in a different "location" a temp file. I have no clue how to change the location to the right file. Any experieced mp3 users to help. Thanks, zengrandma

    Start Creative MediaSource Organizer
    - Under sources select PC Music Library
    - Now press the button above the middle window called Import Select the option Import Tracks
    - Now browse to the location of the files you want to transfer and load them into the Music Library.
    - Connect the Creative Mp3 player to your PC
    - Click the menu button View and Right Panel View. Select your Creative Mp3 player here
    - Now highlight the tracks from the middle window, which you would like to transfer onto your Creative Mp3 player and click the arrow pointing towards the right.
    - This will transfer all files incl. the Copy Protected ones onto your Creative Mp3 Player.
    (you have to love copy/paste )

  • Nano won't play new songs

    I can only play songs from my current Nano playlist. I can't move songs I purchased last night (to my one Mac) or any other songs from my iTunes playlist, they show in my ipod playlist but they won't play. When I plug the iPod into my Mac I see the songs in iTunes on the iPod playlist and I can play them through my computer.
    I changed USB Ports and reset my iPod

    Can you play the recently purchases songs on the Computer?
    Have you tried the five Rs?

  • HT1386 ipod syncs but doesnt update new songs from the library to the ipod

    I had problems syncing my ipod touch, a message appeared on the computer, which said the itunes program was corrupted/damaged so it advised to reinstall itunes, which i did.  This wiped my library from the computer.  When i connected the ipod to the computer it said it is was syncing, but no data got transfered either from the ipod to the computer or visa versa.  My ipod still retains its songs/apps etc.

  • IPod Nano Won't Sync New Songs

    My 6th (or whatever the latest version is) Gen Nano is having an issue since updating the iOS.  It has only been synced to my iMac, and now it doesn't sync with iTunes (latest update).  It acts like it doesn't recognize my iMac as it's home computer.  When I go to sync music, it cannot because iTunes continually unchecks the box telling it to sync my selected playlists and songs.  It works once and will sync what I tell it to.  But when I try to do it again; it will not and has unchecked my choices and has greyed out the entire "Music" area on iTunes relating to my Nano.  And yes, I did check all the correct boxes... have done it for years so I know something is definitely wrong here.   It keeps what I've synced on the Nano, but I have to re-select and then re-sync all the playlists if I want to add a song in a playlist.   I did re-install the iOS but no good, and I did a restore, reboot, hard reboot... nothing works to make iTunes rermember how to sync my Nano.  Very frustrating... any ideas?

    I am having a similar problem with my Nano 6th gen too.  I changed laptops ( H.P.) purchased several songs over the weekend but when I went to synch them to my NANO, it indicates a synching taking place ( when I connect the Nano to my laptop), the battery is charged but the music is not transferred from the laptop to the NANO. I too need some advise.
    Thanks in advance

  • Nano won't play all songs in library when shuffle is on some have not played in 2 yrs

    Perhaps you could take a look at this article.

    You might be better of creating a smart playlist that contains songs you haven't heard in so long.

  • I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

    I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop.  I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months.  I just purchased a new song.  I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist.  I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist.  In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer.  Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program.  It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer.  This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Check system requirements:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The main issue might be having too little RAM.  Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
    After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
    Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
    The new system should install on top of the old one.  That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system.  In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone.  Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes.  It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library.  If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about. 
    This is well within what many people can do at home.  It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

  • I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically put in the Cloud or do I have to push iTunes Match. I certainly don't want to upload the whole library again. Thanks

    I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically sent to the Cloud or do I have to click on iTunes Match? I certainly don't want to start the whole upload process over again. Thanks

    It should do so automatically, if not check it's staus this way.
    In iTunes press "Command J" or select "View Options," under the view menu. In the popup window check iCloud Status. It will now appear as one of the columns in your main iTunes window.
    This column will show which of your songs are matched, uploaded, ineligible, etc.
    When you navigate to the song you downloaded you will see it's iCloud status.
    If the status says, "waiting," and you want it available on Match now, then in the iTunes "Store," menubar pulldown, select "Update iTunes Match."
    It will scan your drive, and update all status'.
    You will not have to upload everything again.
    Even if in iTunes you turn Match off, and back on again.
    Match remembers you!

    my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11.  Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade.  The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress! 
    PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

    I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!
