New Ipod Nano 3rd Gen. Won't Sync Properly

I iPod Nano 3rd generation and, every time I plug it in and click "Sync", about midway through completion, I will recieve this message:
"Attempting to copy “DANIEL’S IP” failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
I don't even know what Daniel's IP is, let alone understand why it does this. I recently tried syncing my music to an iPod Nano 2nd Gen. 4GB and it got through the letter "J" (Artist name) and gave me this message. I bought this new 3rd Gen. Nano and it, too, only goes through letter "J" and gives me this message. PLEASE HELP!

No, I was hoping no one would say that. It is not a bad file because, on my nano 2nd gen 8 GB, every song was transferred. Plus, it stops at a different song each time and I have watched the top and still couldn't find where it stops. My question is still unanswered.

My Ipod Nano (3rd Gen) won't sync with Itunes. Help!

My Ipod nano 3rd gen stopped syncing with my Itunes for some reason. I switched the cords and it still doesn't sync. It doesn't even show the little lightning bolt on the battery and more.

CORRECTION IT IS A 4TH GEN.

My iPod nano 3rd gen won't sync to my iTunes.

I was charging my iPod when it ended up going to a white screen. I reset it like I was suppose to and that didn't help, so I connected it to my laptop and restored it via iTunes like another post on this forum had suggested. I went back through the setup and did everything the way I had the first time and now it won't sync to my iTunes library. When I go to the iPod tab and select sync, it loads for maybe half a second and stops on my computer screen, then the iPod will show that it's syncing for a few more seconds and then it stops and there is no media on the iPod. Can anyone maybe help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to sync my 3rd gen nano as well with itunes 10 but in my case I can see the removable drive in the Finder. I can eve write files to this mounted drive.
When I connect the same nano to my Windows XP which also has itunes 10 it shows up with the starting config screen.

Help!!! My ipod nano (3rd gen) won't sync!!

I am very confused and need someone's expert help with my Nano. I began downloading music like crazy. All was working well, suddenly one day, my ipod will no longer work on my computer; not recognized. I try everything I can think of, finally resorting to restoring my ipod to factory beginnings. Which wipes out all of my music. I think I am safe because Itunes will save it all. Not to be!! I lost it all there too. I began loading all my music again. Took me forever. Laptop now recognizes my ipod, and all the music is on it, but I cannot add any of it to Itunes. Nor can I download any purchased music in the "new" account I have without wiping out what is on the ipod.
Please, please someone tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix it. I will be so grateful for any advice.

IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What solved my problem:
I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
Additional details:
I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

My ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync. it says the disk can't be read from or written too. Any thoughts?

Make sure you have some free space and if you do then buy a new syncing cable

My PC Shuts Down When I Plug In My New IPod Nano 3rd Gen.

The title of this post pretty much says it all. Got me my new iPod Nano 3rd gen. yesterday. Brought it home, booted up the puter, loaded iTunes and plugged that sucker in. Well first iTunes kindly instructed me that I would have to download it's newest software, which I did.
Then soon afterwards when I thought i was set, I plugged in my new 3rd gen iPod Nano to the pc and as soon as I did that my pc shut down completely, and restarted. Shut down is putting it mildly, I mean it just went 'kablink" and then was restarting.
I tried uninstalling iTunes, cleaning my temp folder, my internet cache, then reinstalling iTunes anew, still nada. All to no avail, people, because each and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, no sooner than i do this my pc summarily goes "kablink" on me and starts booting up again.
NOW I STILL have my iPod Nano 2nd gen, and it works fine, even with the newest iTunes software, it doesn't screw up my pc like the new 3rd gen iPod Nano does.
Now I am to conclude that the problem lies in the 3rd gen iPod itself. How could it not? My iPod Nano 2nd gen works absolutely fine, and everytime I plug in my new iPod Nano, I shut down in a flash withtout fail. Anyone of you have this error? I would love to know short of calling iTunes tech support about what to do about this, this is a MAJOR bummer for sure. Now I have to be concerened about whether or not I am ever going to get this thing to work now.
Is the iPod broken? If not why the shutdowns then? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

Will my computer read my new ipod nano 3rd gen?

i just bought a new ipod nano 3rd gen from circuit city before i opened it i looked on the back and saw system requirments it says nothing about being compatible with windows xp media center edition and i have windows XP media center edition 2002 sp2. will the ipod nano 3rd gen work with my computer?

Yes it will work fine. iTunes just needs XP and doesn't really care what sort of crazy version that came with whatever computer you bought. It is still just XP maybe configured or a little more specifically.

p.s. This is a Tablet laptop I assume?

IPod Nano 3rd Gen won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
Any idea as to why this is happening?
Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

Greetings WonderfulT1,
If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

Ipod Nano 3rd gen. won't allow videos to be synced

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes. I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good. I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed. Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

Did you do everything here:

Including
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?

IPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync to iTunes 11 on Windows 8?

Hi, I recently acquired a new Windows 8 laptop and after installing iTunes 11 I decided to sync my iPod Nano 6th gen. My iPod was last synced to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7. When I synced the iPod to the new laptop I was receiving the problem of the WDF_VIOLATION which had something do to with Windows 8 and iTunes 11 being in compatible. I changed the compatibilty settings for Itunes to Windows 7 and the error has passed. The problem left standing is that my iPod will now not sync the library. After clicking"sync" either a very fast recognition happens or nothing at all will hapen and either way I'm left with the same music as I had on the previous iTunes. Is there a reason or anything I can do to change this? Thanks

You can only sync with one iTunes library. See the following for switching syncing computers.

Unable to use brand new Ipod Nano 3rd gen

I have just purchased an ipod nano 3rd generation. I had previously updated iTunes to the latest version available on my MacBook Pro (10.4.10)
Whenever I plug it in I get: "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again"
I've done what it says to do, and I have rebooted etc.. it just won't work.

Hi thesquib,
Have you tried connecting your iPod to your computer in Disk Mode? Sometimes if an iPod is in disk mode it will be recognized better by the computer.
For instructions, see this article:

IPod Nano 6th Gen Won't Sync After Getting iTunes Match

I have a new iPod Nano 6th Generation, with the new clock faces, bought in december. I bought iTunes Match in early january.
After syncing and using my ipod successfully, I was confident that iTunes Match would not effect my ipod syncing as I only use iTunes Match for my Mac and iPad. However, after adding some CD's to iTunes and downloading some tracks, my iPod began syncing but then was interuppted by an error - 13019. It then wouldn't sync. I restored the iPod and the error came up again and after a few failed attempts, the iPod went into a boot loop showing the apple logo, then the homescreen then it would flash white and show the apple again.
I then thought to test it I would turn off iTunes match and sync the iPod and see if it would work. It didn't however, after restoring it with iTunes match turned off, it worked and synced, albeit with no playlists for some reason.
I am very disappointed and would like to know if I could fix it so my ipod can sync with itunes while iTunes match is turned on (the best option) or to be able to get a refund on iTunes match if it will not work and is causing me to not be able to use my iPod.
Thanks for any Replies
