Old nano wont synch to podcasts

I have a 3 year old Nano that used to synch podcasts from I-tunes. I recently added the latest I tunes update.
Now I download, it shows it is down loading, it shows it added the podcast in the library but ....... there is not a thing that shows in my nano.
Any idea how to fix?

Post you question in the appropriate iPod forum area for the model that you have.
This area is for the iPod Nano 5th gen model.

My nano wont update my podcasts

Well, I got 3 episodes of Happy Tree Friends and whnever I update my Nano, it says that they were updated, but it doesnt show them on my Ipod.

My nano is causing a few problems at the moment. theres an exclamation mark and folder whenever i turn it on. ive literally tried every solution that apple suggests(reset,restore,reinstall itunes etc) but nothing. i think i need to restore it but i cant even do that because the updater wont let me. it just has an error when i plug it in "Firmware cannot update. disc write error". itunes and the updaterr work fine with any other ipod but it wont let me restore the nano! so if i cant restore it what can i do???????????????????????????????????????????

I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

Synching old nano to new desktop

I want to sync my old Nano to my new apple desktop, but I don't want to change the playlists on the nano, I want to add them to my library on the desktop. How to dothis without erasing my Nano and gettiing the desktop songs onto it?

Since your iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time, you'll want to copy everything that is currently on the iPod to the new library first. Once you have done that you can go ahead and choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to begin syncing with the new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Mystery- how has my old nano been updated with my new playlists in iTunes when I haven't synced it?

I got given a 2gb nano in 2005, which I filled up with imported cd music, not wanting an Apple account and not wanting to pay for music that I already have on cd (was in music industry for years, and like to own the physical product rather than a download that then needs backing up). Anway, lovely bf has bought me a 7th gen 160gb pod for Xmas, so I was merrily organising playlists and preparing to load the whole 45gb of music onto my new shiny ipod. Got my old nano out yesterday, and found that all the playlists that were there have been replaced by the first few new playlists I've made in iTunes. I am not using Match, or thieving Cloud, and I haven't had the nano anywhere near the computer for the last 3 or 4 years! I don't remember registering the nano with Apple, but the new one has definitely been registered (several conversations with Apple because Amazon sent us a "new" iPod that had already been opened, language and clock set to Australian time (the London clock said 9.47pm YESTERDAY), and replaced it with another "new" one with the same issues (replacement hadn't even been shrinkwrapped, just the bare and slightly battered box).
Is this something that the cloud has done? And if so, how come it's done it to my baby nano, and not to the new Classic 160gb? It means it ran out of space, so effectively it's wiped off all the music that has been on there for years, and replaced it with as much as it could fit on, working from the top of the playlist list........
Having read about how the cloud nicks things and won't let you access them if you disconnect from cloud (not that I'm aware of having connected to the **** thing anyway), I'm now going to have to do a back up so that when I tell cloud to bog off, I can still copy any missing music back into iTunes.
Has anyone got an explanation for how my nano's content has been changed without me doing anything except changing my playlists in iTunes, and has it happened to anyone else?
Also, why did nobody at Apple stop to thing that "pushing" data to all your Apple devices is bound to cause problems when each device's capacity is so different from the others? My iPad is the first and small one (32gb I think), the nano is 2gb, my new Pod is 160gb, and what's in iTunes is 35gb. It's also tried to put my music library onto the iPad, announced there wasn't room (I had already selectively downloaded some music on to it when I got it 2 years ago), and wiped off all the music that was on that. It currently says there's nothing on it BUT also says it's full. I'm not very happy with Apple at the moment!
The only device listed in iTunes is the iPad, dated as Xmas 2010. Should I remove that from there?
iTunes is ALWAYS set to "prevent automatic sync" because until now, I haven't had a device with sufficient capacity to put the whole library on to, so even if I had plugged the nano in, I would have had to have selected the whole library in order for this mysterious over-writing to have happened.
Answers, anyone?
Thanks in advance :-)

When iTunes removed the ping feature they replaced it with an internal check on feeds - based on the frequency of new episodes - so your feed may take a week or more to show up the changes.
http://www.nobodydanceshere.com/blog/feed/podcast/
Looking at your feed it is showing a last build date of 5/26/2012 - so the next time iTunes checks your feed it should update your info.
But since it has been since 2010 since your last update - you do need to wait a bit before iTunes checks your feed again.

Can I restore music files from my old Nano onto my PC?

My old Nano contains a few hundred songs that used to be on my laptop's hard drive but for an unknown reason are now gone. Is there a way that I can transfer these files back onto my hard drive so iTunes can read them?

The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

FAQ--How to transfer run data from old Nano to new Nano

Go to this thread and follow the instructions. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=595567&tstart=0
To get your old runs from your old Nano into your new Nano (1st or 2nd generation), you do the same as you would to reupload runs from your Nano that have not posted to Nike+ (happens all the time). No doubt there will soon be loads of people needing to transfer their runs to their new 2nd gen Nano.

If you do follow these instructions and transfer your old runs from your old Nano to your new Nano, please do not expect that your total runs on your new Nano will be the same as on your Nike+ site.
Also, your new Nano is NOT a clone of your old Nano so it will NOT match exactly to the data on your old Nano if you put your old runs on the new Nano (totals, etc won't match).
Unless you're a programmer or serious hacker, most users can only edit the XML files on the Nano--"Lastworkout" "preferences" and your run data files in "latest" & "synched." The Unix Executable Files are out of reach for me anyway.
Maybe someone will figure out how to do more, but I suspect our time would be better spent RUNNING!

The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.

my ipod nano wont let me sync my videos on my computer

Not all video format downloaded from iTunes is compatible with ipod nano. Make sure that the file extnesion is mp4 or any quicktime formats. If not, create a version on these format using iTunes or convert using a third party software. Cheers!

whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Restore

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?
