New (unused) 2G Nano registers 1.89G of content!

I have a brand new 2G Nano that when connected to iTunes creates an error message something along the lines of "Unable to update 'the nano' because there is not enough space for the content of the library. The iTunes library has only 895 MB of content. The Nano device is registering that it has 1.89G of content but absolutely nothing can be seen in the device. I have reset and restored the Nano with no effect, updated the software, changed connection cables and still I receive the same error message. Does anyone have any ideas about what may be causing the issue and what solution may be tried?

You sure you have restored the nano correctly? If you had it would've erased the iPod hard drive completely allowing you to start from scratch with an empty iPod.
See:Restoring the iPod to factory settings.
All hard drives never have the full advertised storage space, and as a general rule it's around 7% less than stated.
It's because hard drive manufacturers calculate hard drive space different than computers actually read it.
For a full technical explanation, see these.
iPod: About the hard disk size.
Hard disk: Is it missing space?

With the new ipod touch nano, can you download apps?

Can you download apps with the new touch ipod nano?

Nope, apps are made for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad only.
The iPod nano is basically just for people who love listening to music while exercising

I get the message Ipod detected but could not identify when i plugged in my new 7th gen Nano. Tried troubleshooting steps with no luck. Tried plugging in my old iPod and i get the same message.

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:

Artists on new I-pod Nano looks at Album Artists not Artists so a whole load of Artists from complilation albums sit e.g. in a Various Artists bucket - how do I sort this

Artists on new I-pod Nano looks at Album Artists not Artists so a whole load of Artists from complilation albums sit e.g. in a Various Artists bucket - how do I sort this

I think it looks at the Artist field, if Album Artist is blank. So, for the songs on affected albums, you can try removing the "Various Artists" entry for Album Artist field (in iTunes). Try this on one affected album, to see if it does what you want.
NOTE: In iTunes, you can select multiple songs at the same time (such as all songs on an album), do a Get Info (right-click selection - Get Info) on selection, and remove the entry for Album Artist for all selected songs at the same time, from the Info window.

I am not sure if there is a lightning docking station. But you can buy a lightning-to-30-pin adapter for typical docking station.

Could any one tell me nano sim can be cut from Normal sim like micro sim. I heard new iPhone uses nano sim

Hi All,
My friend told me he will get unlocked new iPhone on first week of launch .He is in Canada and i am in India. I heard new iPhone features nano sim. It is possible to cut nano sim from normal sim like we do for micro sim. iPhone releases in India only in November so if we cant get nano sim from normal sim , then i have to postponed my new iPhone purchase

No one here knows Apple's plans regarding any new iPhone & what type of sim that phone may or may not use. As to whether a Mico sim can be cut down to Nano size, the answer is yes. I suspect cutters will appear on the market shortly after such is released.
The real question you should be asking is why, if you live India, are you looking to purchase an iPhone anywhere else other than India. iPhone warranty & support is country specific, only valid in country of original purchase. You purchase an iPhone in Canada, you prepared to physically bring the phone back to Canada for ALL warranty & support issues? You can't mail it back to Apple. Makes no sense to me.

I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

New 7th gen nano with Windows 8

I purchased a new 7th gen nano and iTunes will not recognize it. I have followed all the steps in support but it still won't work. Any ideas of what else to try?

Hi there - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me) - Windows 8.1 user, 7th generation nano. You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
1) iTunes
2) Apple Software Update
3) Apple Mobile Device Support
4) Bonjour
5) Apple Application Support
Then you restart your computer.
Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
Then you restart your computer again.
Mine is working perfectly again now.
I hope it works for you,
Carmen.

All I need is fact.
The fact of the matter is you won't know unless you at least try it just as the previous poster suggested that you do!

New i-pod nano does not charge on JBL on stage II. WHY. previous nano did charge it's battery .

my new I-pod nano does not charge it's battery on JBL stage II, while my old nano did. Is there anyreason for this uncomfort?

The design of the Dock connector has changed slightly. The new iPods require a resistor between two of the pins, this allows the iPod to detect what type of accessory is detected. You can use e.g. this converter to connect the iPod to your JBL dock: http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockStubz.html

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Please tell me if you need any help.
I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!
