New ipod nano won't sync music from computer computer sees its there but music doesn't show up on the actual nano itself

Got my son an Ipod Nano for Christmas.  We have got the tunes onto the computer via itunes card - the cost has come off, the tunes are on the computer, but we cannot get the music to go onto the nano.  When connected to the computer, under "my computer" the ipod appears, and when I click on that it shows the tunes are supposedly there, but when we go onto the actual Nano, it says there is no music!! Can anyone help??

Make sure before you sync that "sync music" is selected in music upper selection. This is not selected by default. Cheers!

  • New Ipod touch won't sync music from my dell laptop and I haven't done anything with Itunes as I just want to sync for now.  thanks

    I am new to Apple and can't sync my music from laptop to Ipod touch even tho my laptop recognizes the Ipod.  I haven't signed up for Itunes yet as I'm doing one thing at a time and don't see where Itunes is connected to syncing music.  Also, if I bought 8 gig, then why do I only have 6 when I haven't added anything yet?
    thanks

    - You need an Apple ID/iTunes account to use the iPod with iTunes.
    See the Users Gudie for how to set and use yur iPod, including syncing music.
    iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)
    You can also use the iTunes Help n iTunes for more information on syncing.
    - The 8 GB only has abou6 6.3 GB avaailable to the users inse the difference is takenup bu the operating system and of how GB is advertized and used.

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

    If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • New iPod Touch won't sync reminders

    New iPod Touch - iCloud not syncing contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks.  Restarting apps or device does not help.

    Are you trying to sync these with another iOS device?  If so, are you signed into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud?
    Also, did you check icloud.com from your computer to see if your data is there?

  • Ipod touch won't sync music comes up with unknown error 13019

    my son's ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync music with itunes library, comes up with unknown error 13019.
    i tunes library is running version 5.0.1, ipod touch running 4.2.1 (highest upgrade available for this generation I have been told)

    Have gone to support page and done what they suggested. I removed all the music without a problem but when resyncing it it failed again. I watched it load all the music on and then at the final stage of syncing it failed and came up with error 13019 again and now the ipod has NO music on it and I am in trouble!!!

  • My ipod will not sync with itunes.  The computer says its there but itunes does not.  I've tried everything suggested.  I keep getting an error message at the very end.

    Here is the error message I get.
    When iTunes does install, my ipod still won't sync because it's the wrong version.  I've tried doing the version it suggests and still nothing.

  • New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

    I must have missed a step.  My old windows laptop died.  Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch.  Didn't work.  Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop.  Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop.  Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library.  Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch.

  • New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

    Hello,
    I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
    I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
    I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
    Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
    Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
    After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
    Select iSync > Preferences.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.
    iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
    Quit iSync.
    Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
    Hope this helps,
    Arnie

  • My new iPod touch won't sync?

    I got a brand new iPod touch today for Christmas, and got it all set up and everything was working perfectly. About an hour ago though I went to add more photos to the album I have synced to my iPod. When I plugged the iPod in it said "Waiting for sync to start" up at the top for about 5 minutes, then a screen popped up that said, "Amy's iPod cannot be synced because the sync session won't start" or something to that effect. No biggy I thought, I googled how to fix it and a discussion on here suggested a backup and restore. Now sense I've done that, all my music is off my iPod and I can't put any songs on because it won't sync. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!
