New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

  • I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

    I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • My new ipod nano plays videos but there is no sound, why?

    My new iPod nano that plays videos has no sound going along with them. It's not a problem with the iPod, (I don't think) because the sound won't play on iTunes either, yet my music in playing just fine both on my ipod nano and in itunes. I dragged and dropped the video into itunes then I converted the video then used the convert selection for ipod. Why is there no sound? Is there something I am doing wrong? My 30gb ipod did worked just fine when I did it that way but my new ipod nano won't. Is there something else I have to do before I can watch and listen to videos?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

  • Bought a new ipod nano and the computer won't recognize it

    I just purchased a new ipod nano and have my itunes on Windows 8. I've connected it with the supplied cable to USB 2 and 3 and every time I receive a message a new ipod has been connected but it is not recognized by itunes.
    How can I make this ipod work so I can set it up and start using it?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • I can't acces my new iPod nano through iTunes..it seems to have been barred

    I just installed my new iPod nano.. I already had an iPod and so I still had all my old music saved in my iTunes library.. I added that music to my new iPod. So it appears in the column alongside the 'Library', 'Store' and 'Playlists' tabs (underneath the 'Devices' tab) but it wont allow me to select any music or play music from my iPod whilst in iTunes.. It seems like its all barred.. I have no idea why.. I can still acces music from my library but I cant through my iPod.
    I've downloaded the newest version of iTunes.. what other settings should I change?

    If the contents of iPod Nano appeared to be "greyed out", you have the Nano set to autosync. If you wish to manage the iPod content directly, you will have to set you iPod preferences to manually manage. Manually manage will also allow you to play iPod content through iTunes.

    Hi kumaradevan.g,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue syncing music to your iPod from a specific laptop. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that can help resolve the syncing issue that you described.
    'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring…

  • 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.

  • HELP ! Ipod froze while syncing so I unplugged. Now not showing any music on Ipod or in Itunes but will show the songs in my ipod control

    So basicly I was trying to figure out on how to get all my album art back on my 160gb Ipod Classic. It showed in itunes but not on my ipod. My cover flow was full of Question marks. Having 140gb of music ir was fustrating manually putting it back on to each album. This happened a few months ago. So the 5 or 6gb of new music i put on since this happened is on my Ipod and show in my coverflow on my Ipod.
    It came to a point where i had to leave my computer and noticed that my ipod was still in a synchnnizing stage and seemed like it was frozen. Having to leave the computer I had to unplug the ipod. By doing so, when i turned it on it said that i had no songs on my Ipod. When plugged into my itunes it also says no songs but at the bottom of the itunes screen it shows there is 140gb of "other Information" with 1.5 gb remaining but not music. I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder. I have had a few different computers since this new ipod has music from ages ago from an old 30gb classic and have transfered over the years on multiple computers (so restoring or syncing to this computer is out of the question). Thus all the ratings and playlist are very dear to me. Hundreds of hours invested in this ipod OVER 6 Years. It seems like there is some file missing or needed to link everything together.
    I have spent endless hours trying many diffferent aproches. Like one forum said go into AL'S IPOD>IPOD CONTROL>ITUNES.. when in there they said to look for a file called ITunesDB and another called ITunesD8.old and switch them and rename ITunesD8.old_mlpmp but i only have the ituned DB not the ItunesDB.old
    I also tried
    Also when i plug in my ipod a notice in windows says "DO YOU WANT TO SCAN AND FIX E>AL'S IPOD
                                                                                          There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you
                                                                                           remove the device or disc before all files have been writen to it
                                                                                          SCAN AND FIX (RECOMMENDED)

                                                                                                CONTINUE WITHOUT SCANNING
    So i figure the problem started when i went into my control panel and chose show all hidden files so i can look at my files in the Ipod_control and was fooling around with the preference area by selecting the read only icon and disabling the hidden icon. I tried reversing this before ejecting my ipod but it was stuck in the Synchronizing do not disconnect mode and would not eject. Everytime i did try to eject it said in itunes with a yellow triangle saying " files or folders are in use in another area and cannot eject" even tho everyting has been closed......
    ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX??????? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • My itunes allows me to download songs but is having difficulty identifying my new Ipod nano. It is not working efficiently enough to power my netflicks through apple tv. Can you help?

    My itunes allows me to dcownload songs but is having difficulty identifying my new ipod nano and so can't set up song lists. It is not allowing me to access Netflicks anymore. Any ideas.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.
