  • Purchased a new Ipod nano, wont recognize my 120 gb classic now?

    I have a macbook pro and have used it with a 120 gb Ipod classic for two years now. I just bought my girlfriend a new ipod nano 16gb and after we plugged hers in for the first time, my computer doesn't even recognize my Ipod anymore. Is there and account problem or a conflict of a computer being dedicated to one ipod? Mine is charging but doesn't show up on my desktop or in itunes. Help!

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod nano, this article may help:

    If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

  • My iPod nano wont connect

    Okay, so my hubby has been using my ipod nano and it will no longer connect.  The when it is plugged it, nothing.  Any ideas?

    Try the easy stuff first. Hold down the volume down and sleep/wake button till you see the apple icon, then let the buttons go.
    Also, does it not show up at all? Does it show up on the computers desktop? If you run Disk Utilities, does it show up there?

  • Can the new ipod nano be connected to a dock?

    I recently just got the 7th gen Ipod Nano and I was wondering if it can go onto a dock and if it can be played out loud without a dock or headphones.?

    Yes, buy the lightning-to-30-pin-adapter in an apple store. And Ipod nano does not have a built-in speaker, so it will not play out loud without a dock or headphones.

  • Hi my new ipod touch wont connect to the wifi and keeps saying the activation server cannot be reached -

    Hi cannt connect to the wifi and have tried two differnet networks am i being a numpty or is the server down?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    If you mean that iTunes does not see your iPod:
    - Did you try everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Try another cable
    - Try another computer
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have iTunes on my iPad. I have a new iPod nano. How do I connect iPod to iPad to download iTunes and music library?

    I have iTunes on my iPad. I have a new iPod nano. How do I connect iPod to iPad to download iTunes and music library?

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1209
    and this article explains syncing to the iPod.

  • 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.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • HT5479 My brand new ipod nano is no longer connedting to my brand new jbl wireless speaker. It worked fine the first day and now either cannot find the apeaker or the connection "fails."  Any advice?

    I bought my dad a new ipod nano and a jbl wireless speaker from the same apple store. Everything worked perfectly with the bluetooth connectivity the first day. Then my dad accidentally hit the "forget this device" button when he was trying to turn the bluetooth off. Now the nano either does not recognize the device or it will recognize the device but not connect. I would appreciate any advice.

    Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
    If so:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Just bought a new Ipod Nano for my child, was tryin to go by the directions, but when I plug it in to my computer it wont give me any directions on syncing, can someone please help me???

    Just bought a new Ipod Nano, 6th generation, was tryin to following directions on syncing, when I plug it in too my computer,
    it doesnt give me any directions on syncing or connecting to my computer, can someone please help me??

    There should be an option (on the left hand side of your iTunes) for your iPod. Then when you click on it you will just need to setup and there will be an option to sync at the bottom right hand corner
