New IPod nano will not snyc, message says a file not found

I have completed the 5Rs and Windows and ITunes recognize my IPod but it will not sync. Each time I plug it in I get a window saying it will not sync because a file is missing or something to that effect. Any suggestions? It's my birthday and I want to enjoy my new "toy"!

Does the error message what file is missing? If it's this one have a look at the tips and see if they help: What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found

  • How do I get itunes 11 to sync my ipod nano? Itunes error message says ipod cannot be synched.

    My ipod is recognized in Windows but itunes won't synch thwe ipod nano. An error message says "The ipod "name of my ipod" cannot be synched. The required folder cannot found. The first time I downloaded itunes 11 it didn't install but it completely uninstalled the previous itunes. I've reinstalled and removed itunes 11 several times but nothing changes. Waht do I do?

    You don't.
    Itunes 11 is a program for your computer, not your iphone

  • New IPOD Nano will not sync.  iTunes recognizes it, I think.  It knows its there and says I can transfer purchases from it but it will not let me sync it to my existing itunes.

    I received a new IPOD nano for CHristmas.  Itunes shows it there on summary, it is showing with the eject symbol.
    However, when I go to file/sync, it allows me to transfer purchases but not sync it.  It also does not show up in my playlist like my older NANO does.
    I have reset, I have toggled security on and off.  I am current on the software on both my IPOD and ITunes.

    I was having the same problem...plugged in my new device and although I was able to set it up and it was recognized in iTunes, hit the sync button and nothing...even when it said it was syncing, still nothing. I am not sure this will work for you but I did two things that were suggested in this forum in combination with one another.
    First, I plugged my Nano into different USB port on my laptop from the one I was using. when I reconnected, my devie again was displayed in the top right corner. I clicked on it and the summary page appeared. The one thing I hadn't done is go to the "music" tab. When I arrived there I found that the "sync music" tab was unchecked for some reason. I checked the block and instantly the download started.
    As I said, I don't know if you have tried this or if it will even work for you but after an hour of frustration...I felt a little silly that it was something so simple I had negelected and thought I would share.
    Good  luck!

  • Brand New iPod Nano will not do anything

    My mother's new Ipod nano 4th generation will not do anything. It has been plugged into the USB for close to twelve hours (not in sleep mode) and it is still completely unresponsive. Shouldn't it be charged by now? The hold switch is off. It is not recognized by the computer. I have hooked it up to different computers including a brand new Macbook and it still does the same thing. I've tried resetting and restarting it using the method on the Apple site but it is still completely unresponsive. All that is on the screen is the Apple logo--nothing else.

    it's always a good idea when u first use a new ipod with a computer to restore it with the ipod updater to makes sure everything is all rosey with the format and then load up the songs so u can walk through the ipod set assistant. this should fix it right up. just restore it

  • NEW IPOD NANO WILL NOT CONNECT CORRECTLY TO 2011 KIA SPORTAGE

    Have a new Ipod nano. when I connect it to 2011 Kia Sportage it does not display the song list correctly. Have cable that Kia sells and it worked with my old Nano but not not the new one. Same results with cable that came with new nano. Help please

    Alternatively, you can always use a double ended 3.5mm audio plug and just manipulate the playlist via the iPod and not the radio.

    It appears that you are trying to sync too much media to the iPod. Check your checkmarks. Also see:

  • Brand new ipod nano will work when attached by cable either to a power adaptor or usb port but stops immediately when disconnected, despite being put on charge with different adaptors. Battery indicator remains constantly on lightning flas symbol and whit

    My Brand New ipod nano (sold to me two days ago by Apple as replacement for previous ipod nano -15 months old and therefore out of warranty - which had suddenly stopped functioning altogether) will operate only when attached by cable to either power adapter, usb port on my laptop or when playing on a docking station. When detached, it stops playing and screen goes dark and it will not respond to any buttons, despite being charged several times for many hours on different chargers. The battery indicator stays on lightning flash symbol on white background and has only momentarily shown fully charged symbol once !
    I am baffled as to why this new ipod has a similar problem to the old ipod.
    Is there a virus out there which can have this effect and which I may have picked up on my Pc and have inadvertently transferred to both ipods when sync-ing ?
    My PC has Norton anti-virus software.
    Any suggestions , please ?

    Sounds like the Nano has a faulty battery.  You should be able to have Apple swap it out again for you at no cost.

  • HT1451 My 2004 iPod doesn't work with my new Windows 8 computer. If I get a new iPod nano, will I be able to sync my content from my old iPod?

    If I replace my 2005-era iPod with a new nano, will I be able to sync my existing content? Currently my Windows 8 will not allow me to access my music, etc., although I can see it. Took forever to event get iTunes to recognize my device--lots of removing of Apple software, downloading again, etc.

    You can sync from your computer to your ipod.

    I do not understand you question/problem.
    What does "not able to restore from backup because his iPod is all" means.
    Also, there is no viewable photo in your post.

  • Ipod nano 4th generation won't sync required file not found!!!

    I had my computer fixed and so I had redownload itunes again.All my my music got saved to a folder as a backup.Well when I downloaded it,I put all the songs on itunes and tried to sync my ipod to add new music.But,it kept saying it won't sync since required folder is not found.I've looked everywhere online to see what to do.I tried uninstalling everything and again multiple times.The same error kept popping up.I switched to Manually manage music to see if it fixed the problem but no.A different error "the song....could be copied error ..." I switched back to sync.Nothing worked!!I tried restoring but it took so long as if it couldn't work it out.Previously I had this same computer fixed and when I downloaded again itunes it worked perfectly fine until now.Can somebody please guide me what to do?I cannot afford a new one.

    That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
    For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:
