  • Need help with new ipod nano

    Wonder if anyone could help I had the 3rd generation nano and I have just purchased the fifth generation model. Am I able to plug it into my computer and it will link with my i tunes library even though it was previously linked to the 3rd gen model?
    Sorry if this sounds like a daft question.

    You can sync as many iPods as you want to any given iTunes library. iTunes will recognize each one as unique with its own settings.
    Best of luck.

  • I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    Plug it to your computer using iPod USB Cable (any cable should work excluding iPhone 5 and Shuffle cables)...... when you see your iPod in iTunes go to that iPod and click restore...... the whole process should take (depending on what you have on your iPod and its is up to date) it should take no longer than 30 minutes...... then it will ask if you want to set up as new iPod or restore from back-up (itunes back up), since you said:
    so its like new
    click set as new iPod and follow through what they said.

  • Need help with my ipod nano

    Hi,
    I need help with my ipod nano.
    I haven't turned it on in a while and suddenly it stops working when I try to turn it on again.
    Sometimes it displays:
    "www.apple.com/support/ipod"
    And right now it's displaying "OK to disconnect".
    Could somebody please advice what should I do?
    Thank you

    I need help.
    I have my IPOD nano for a while now and about a week ago. My husband bought one for his newphew and he had me download all the songs into the new IPOD (2nd Generation). Now Im having problems with mine. Everytime I try to charge and usually the screen will pop up to my original music player. This is what it says now when I open or charge my IPOD.
    "The File iTunes Library.it! cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
    Now, that I listen to it...all the music skip. Please help me..what should I do??
    Thank you

  • HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

    hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

  • Microphone for new iPod nano?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a microphone you can buy for the new iPod Nano? I record a lot of acoustic music and need to get it into my iTunes Library. I'd rather not carry my iBook around.
    Thanks
    Aluminum iPod Nano, iBookG4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the new nanos can do recording - the old ones cant.
    im confused, is this nano your speaking about the
    black glossy one?, cuase if it is the microphone
    is
    not compatible with it is it?
    the new nanos are the 2 generation of the old ones, only apple snatched the samsung glossy nanos since they had the patent and jumped on it at that quarter year, yes seccess story.
    But as i remember, they all record yet apple never provided a microphone solution for them., and the older iPods all have accesories like mics etc etc. and all the new iPods do not, or maybe the 30 and 60 gigs do but are very expensive.
    Can anyone confirm how to record on a nano and what mics to get?

  • Recommendations for speaker/charge dock for new iPod Nano 5th generation 8g

    I have searched and searched for a speaker/charging combo dock for my new iPod Nano 5th generation 8gb player. None of them specifty they work with this latest iPod version.
    Any recommendations?

    I think I have the same question more or less. I bought a cheap Best Buy memorex speaker docking station and I need a male to female IPOD cable so that I can Play the radio and charge the IPOD at the same time as well of course have the head phone jack plugged into the Line In that acts as the antenna.
    So if I had the Male to Female cable My dock would charge and the cable to the line in acts as a Antenna. I think this makes sense..

  • New iPod Nano user, updated to 1.2, then boom!

    Greetings.
    I just tried to update the iPod Nano system software using the iPod Updater (for Microsoft Windows) software.
    After it was done and it appeared successful, I safely disconnected the iPod Nano from the system. The Nano flashed the Apple/iPod logo and then the menu came up. It prompted me for the language (English), which is understandable as all of the the documentation I've read so far indicates some of the settings may be lost and need to be reset after a software update. After answering it (English), I noticed all of my copied music, podcasts, etc., were gone.
    I promptly plugged it back into the system and iTunes didn't recognize it. In fact, iTunes just sat there for awhile.
    I rebooted.
    During the reboot process, I unplugged the Nano (which is safe to do as nothing has a lock on the device until the OS loads) from the system. I logged into XP, launched iTunes, plugged the Nano back into the system, and it still doesn't recognize it and just hangs.
    Same procedure: rebooted the system.
    This time, while the system was rebooting, I reset the iPod Nano via the two-button method. It seemed fine.
    I logged into Windows and decided to "Restore" it to factory default with the iPod Updater software. I launched that program and when instructed to plug an iPod into the system, I did. The program just hangs.
    iTunes loads and all of my songs, podcasts, etc., are there, but when I attempt to connect an iPod to this system, things get hosed. So, apparently this updated iPod (new) is hosing my system.
    Any suggestions as I seem to be stuck?
    Or should I just send it into Apple Service/Support?

    A FIX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Ive been reading this over and over on different threads - with the latest Ipod updater (not proven, but it happened for the first time with me) the memory on the iPod (my 5th generation nano) got cooked.
    Symptoms after update:
    - The little wheel on the top left corner of the Ipod would spin occasionally, the USB device icon would show up in the taskbar, but iTunes would not see it and the iPod updater would lock-up/freeze/hang when trying recognize the iPod.
    - XP and W2K would sometimes freeze or lockup but always run slowly.
    - When browsing to the available disk drives, the iPod would show up as a removeable drive and when clicking on it, it would say "Insert disk".
    Days of madness follow:
    I tried the 5 Rs and it did not work.
    I tried disabling USB2 speeds and nothing.
    I tried formatting it as suggested by one user (it made sense) thru MY COMPUTER/MANAGE/DISK DRIVES/ but it would not see the iPod as a disk drive there either to do that.
    I tried 3 diff USB cables, 3 diff computers (1 XP and 2 W2Ks) - nothing but frustration!!!
    Then, an epiphany. Looking at the back of the iPod and contemplating the dropping-it-from-your-waist fix someone had suggested (did I mention I was insane at this point?), I noticed this mystical symbol that I see every day on large, powerful looking silver boxes at work - an apple-esqe logo with a bite taken out of it. TAKE THE NANO BACK TO ITS CREATOR! IT WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO!
    The FIX:
    But seriously, I plugged my death-dealing Nano(I wrecked the settings on my main machine trying to get it work) into a Mac G5 OSX10.4.7 machine and it came up, but would not work properly - yet. I then formatted the drive thru Disk Utilities as DOS(FAT32)and the Nano was reborn! Works on all systems immediately without hiccup!
    If you are swearing, pulling your hair out and spitting on people you don't know due to frustration with your iPod exhibiting these problems, FIND A MAC with OSX10.4 (supporting USB interface) or an Apple store and tell them what to do if they don't know OR ship it to me and I will fix the **** thing for you in a day for the cost of postage - REALLY! I was on the verge of hopelessness and feel bad for all of the others out there going thru the same thing.
    Apple has REALLY dropped the ball on this one thus far with the lack of info/fixes from a PC perspective.
    Contact me at [email protected] if you want to take me up on the fix offer and otherwise, hope this helps!

  • Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

    I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes.  PLEASE HELP!!

    Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Help connecting new iPod Nano to iHome radio

    I got an iHome radio with a iPod Nano recharge station (and Nano played through radio's speakers). When I lost that, I got a new Nano, but the belt clip means I cannot push down so that the Nano's insie port connects with the iHome's outsie port. Is there some sort of cable or connector available so I can still play the Nano and also recharge it on my iHome?  iHome is model iH10B

    Well, to use it, I guess I'll need to purchase snow leopard, is that correct?
    It depends upon what computer model you have.  If you have a G series computer such as G4 or G5 you cannot run anything higher than Leopard, and may not even be able to run that if it is a really old G4 or lower.  If you have an older Intel model you may not be able to run anything higher than Snow Leopard.  You might possibly be able to run Lion.  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

  • Need help with the ipod nano

    I installed my ipod nano today and my computer recognizes the ipod but itunes wont' work. when i click on it to start it it brings up the license agreement and then it disappears and itunes never starts. can anyone help?

    hi badgirl!
    when i click on it to start it it brings up the license agreement and then it disappears and itunes never starts.
    gaaah. do you also see a similar sort of thing happen when you try to launch your QuickTime? (a brief flash of the screen, but then nothing?) are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsoever, just the flash and then nothing?
    the most likely cause of those symptoms is infestation of your PC by Qoologic adware. the free trial version of Ewido has been cleaning that up for most people:

    the problem is the Exclusive = Yes  indicator in the access sequence.
    Your other message has this exclusive indicator as well.
    so if the first  message is found, then no other message wil be determined
    to allow several messages in one PO, you must not set this exlusive indicator

  • Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods

    I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
    Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
    Thanks in advance,
    jf

    Turns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
    Thanks,
