Ive tried to make new playlists but it doesnt work. Any Suggestions??

Yes, configure your ipod to update with your new playlists.
Click on the name of the ipod in the itunes source list
Open ipod options (the small button in the lower right hand corner of the itunes window that has a picture of an ipod on it)
Select "automatically update selected playliss only" and the select your new playlist from the list
click ok

IPod Nano wont update songs!!!

Okay, when I plug my ipod nano into the USB port and my itunes pop up, the stage where my ipod would usually update itself is replaced with a popup window that says: Songs on "iPod Nano" cannot be updated because of all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
Yes, I have no playlists right now, for some reason in the past I deleted them all. But this problem has erased all the songs and things I have on my ipod and since it wont update my songs I cant seem to put them back in (this includes the burned ones and ones bought from the music store). I am totally confused on what to do, someone PLEASE help!!

I am experiencing, for the first time, a VERY similar issue; except I have MANY playlists, and, up until now, I have been able to selectively manage them on my iPod (2Gb iPod, 60Gb of music). Now, all of a sudden, I get the error that is quoted above, although I have already restored iPod twice, reinstalled iTunes once, as well as selected manual sync, and they all "crap-out" about 1/3 of the way thru the synch-job. Never before have I had any similar problems with my product. Please help.

HELP!!! itunes wont update songs to ipod

Windows XP

okay, we'd better try enlisting some additional technical help then.
we'll get a crash log from itunes, and send it to so someone who can interpret crash logs. (it may take a few days before you get a response.)
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using, the version number of your ipod updater, the software version on your ipod, and the model of ipod you're getting the crash with:
iPod: How to find software version
Identifying different iPod models
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

Ipod Nano wont update firmware

Hello,
I have a dialup connection and although, I can download video content, and the new apple itunes 7.3, I have not been able to get my ipod nano to update the firmware version from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.
I will either get kicked out during download, or get an error message related to verification of the file.
Is there a separate way to download the file directly, or do I have to use itunes.
thanks

In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
Not really.
Actually it says,
"iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
You will get Restore Instruction 2.

IPod nano wont update because it says its windows based

My iPod wont update because it says that it is Windows based. I have never used it on a Windows machine.
How do i change it to mac based.

NANO wont play songs... resets and apple logo comes up

I just bought a new 4GB nano and I am having problems playing the tracks I have copied. When I try to play any music, the screen goes black then the apple logo comes up for two seconds. Ive had no problem opening up my photos, or address/ical data, I only have trouble with my music files. Ive updated my software with the 2006-03-23 updater and have tried to restoring my nano twice already. Can anyone help me get my nano up and running?

So I also just bought a new 4GB nano and I am having the same problem. It started after I loaded my music on to the iPod, then found that the music was there but the "Music" option didn't appear in the main menu ( could however shuffle songs). I changed the "Menu Settings" to turn on "music" and off "Photos" (I don't use my iPod for photos.)First it took several tries for the iPod to accept my menu changes. Then, when "Music" finally showed up on the menu, I selected it and the screen went dark, the apple logo showed up, and boom back to the main menu without the "Music" option.
I restored the iPod, got "Music" to appear on the menu, and was able to select it. Everything was fine until I tried to take "Photo" off of the menu. Then repeat of the same problem. Ok so maybe the obvious answer is to leave "Photo" on the Main Menu, but I don't like the idea of a brand new product not working properly.
And, I must confess I am a bit disapointed in the service and tech help options for this issues. After all these years of supporting, and defending Apple, when I finally have a problem -- no help? I don't relish spending my 1 phone call for a product that was defective from the start.My phone company (which is truly evil)is more helpful. If anyone out there has either solved this issue, or discovered a way to resolve the problem, please, please post.

My nano wont update my podcasts

Well, I got 3 episodes of Happy Tree Friends and whnever I update my Nano, it says that they were updated, but it doesnt show them on my Ipod.

My nano is causing a few problems at the moment. theres an exclamation mark and folder whenever i turn it on. ive literally tried every solution that apple suggests(reset,restore,reinstall itunes etc) but nothing. i think i need to restore it but i cant even do that because the updater wont let me. it just has an error when i plug it in "Firmware cannot update. disc write error". itunes and the updaterr work fine with any other ipod but it wont let me restore the nano! so if i cant restore it what can i do???????????????????????????????????????????

You most likely will need to get the latest updater if you don't already have it by now. If it's not downloading on your PC maybe you could have someone download it for you.

Ipod wont update songs from itunes after new update

I downloaded the new itunes update 5.0 and now i cant update my ipod. it keeps telling me that there is not enough room on it. so i unchecked about 1000 songs and it keeps on saying the same thing. it also took about 3000 songs off my ipod. the only way it will update is if i let itunes update it with a choice of songs they pick. please help.

Hello All,
I think I came up with a work around by accident and didn't realize it until I read this post.
Did all the same stuff most have done, reset to factory, reapplied the updates, etc, still not enough free space, even though there was plenty before.
Sooo, I went into iPod options, changed from "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". I did this assuming that the amount of space used on my iPod would be cut in half, at least. So I sync'd and when it was done, my iPod was back to the way it originally was, having about 800MB free on a 30GB G3 iPod. Hmmm... so I looked at the pref's again and realized that the "Only update checked songs" was still checked. I have been using this setting for at least the past two years after my audio collection began to exceed my 30GB iPod's capacity. So in the end, it ended up syncing just my playlists PLUS anything that was checked which brought me back to where I started before I made the jump from 4.9 to 6.0.1. The only difference was the switching the setting "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". Very odd. I suspect a lot of users got in trouble on this one.
Please let me know if this fixes the problem for anyone else.
Kindly,
James

Help ipod wont update songs!!!

my ipod and itunes are updated and i tried to update my ipod with newly downloaded songs from i tunes. it says do not disconnect and the little ipod thing comes up in itunes and updates the 158 songsor w/e. then i go to play them on my ipod but they arent there! they r inthe ipod file in itunes but not actually on my ipod! what do i do! ive spent hours on this helpppp.

I have been experiencing the same issues with my Ipod. A week ago my Ipod started to act up. I reset my Ipod and it showed the unhappy face icon. I plugged it into my computer and by the morning it was fixed. Today, however, I tried to update the songs on my Ipod. After updating Itunes said my ipod contained 2993 songs. I disconnected my Ipod an checked the settings:About and it said 2909 songs. I understand how frustrating this is and I wanted you to know that your not alone in this endevor. I also tried the above solutions but none succeed to solve the problem. Hopefully a solution will be brought to our attention soon.
