Problem with synching iPod 4th gen Nano to iTunes Vista 8.02

Not had a problem with this Nano - sometimes hangs on first play nothing a reset doesn't cure - til now.
For some reason iTunes decided a Smart playlist (To delete - if I rate one star it lists it there) was missing when it was there, just disappeared for a while. It eventually came back after I recreated it.
This meant the other playlists I synch from fell over and refused to synch to the iPod (having a massive collection and only a 8Gb Nano means I tend to have playlist for Recent stuff, and random shuffle type playlists).
So I deleted the condition in those Smart Playlists, and thought it was fine...nope, it now only synchs less that half of the iPod, even though the playlists have loads more tunes in them. Tried deleting the 'To Delete' playlist(s), restoring the iPod, upgrading from 8 to 8.0.2 - no dice. Even a restart and an iPod reset doesn't fix it.
It just says 'synch complete' when there are obviously many more files to download, it usually only does 300-600 then stops. Sometimes it tells me (wrongly) there is not enought space on the iPod by 0.2 of a Gb or something, and says it won't synch. When I reduce the size of one of the playlists, it then goes back to saying 'Synch complete'.
Don't know what's wrong with it - could it be the iTunes library - I moved it to an external USB drive, and switched from my XP machine to this one, but it seemed to be working fine? Hence the restart - I had switched off the drive when I put the laptop into suspend mode, so initially it wasn't there, so I thought iTunes might have gotten confused, and did a restart after upgrade. Still the same.
Any ideas?

Nope still doing it. Just got to 2-thirds full.
So what's happening now it says
'Ipod cannot be synched, playlists are 1.82Gb and there is 1.77Gb on the iPod'
Fine, you then reduce the size of one of the playlists by say 100-200Mb:
Then it doesn't sync those files - it doesn't sync anything and says 'Sync completed' and 'Ok to disconnect'
Argh.
BTW what's sentinel?

Problems with new Ipod 4th Gen - Syncing - Need Help

Hi My Daughter has an ipod (4th Gen) but it wont do the final sync on itunes. It just keeps saying "Waiting for changes to be applied"

See:
"Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities

Problem with my ipod (4th gen i think, the one with the click wheel)

after i updated my ipod (its the old click wheel one with the black and white screen, brought in 2004) with update 3.1.1 (2006-03-23) i got some new songs that i brought from itunes and they worked fine. i left my ipod for a couple of days and it took a while to load which is usual and the apple symbol came up etc. the problem came after this having not turned it on when i do those new songs just skip and don't play. whichever way i try it, playing them in a playlist or straight from the album section or just as one song they do not play. i have rebooted my ipod and have the most recent version of itunes. the only way i can get these songs to play is by reconnecting the ipod to my computer which becomes a hassle if i have to do it every time i have left it. once i have done this they play fine until i leave it again and miss a day of not turning it on.
any help would be much appreciated but i am beginning to think that it is past all help.

Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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. The hotness is symptom of a hardware problem

When I take pictures with my iPod 4th gen it will flip my pictures right away, as if it's a mirror. How can I fix this?

Okay, so my iPod 4th gen has been acting up. Everytime I take a picture while facing the camera, it flips my picture. So if I take a picture of my right side, it'll show my left side. It's very annoying and I can only take mirror pics >.< someone please help me!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

Loading songs on ipod 3rd gen nano without itunes

is there a way to get songs onto the new Ipod 3rd gen nano 8GB without using Itunes? I have tried Xplay 2.3.5 and the playlist is all messed up. It would show all the songs in my hard drive on every single playlist created, even the On-the-Go list. I would hate to use Anapod because of they limited activation status. Itune is slow, and too restrictive for me. I hate itune with a passion. So does anyone know a way to get songs onto this ipod properly with Xplay or another good program? I have tried everything i know and I am able to throw this thing against the wall. thank you in advance!

I feel your pain. I have been fighting iTunes and QuickTime for 2 weeks trying to get it so that it does not interrupt my wireless USB connection when ejecting the Nano. A simple solution would be to use another program to manage the syncing of stuff to the iPod.

TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen. I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing. Now, what??

iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device. It has been recognized in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen. The device connects to the Mac and charges allright. All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

Trouble with updating iPod 4th gen.

I tried updating my iPod touch 4th gen to the newest update, but it wouldn't load. Now my iPod is stuck on the loading screen with the Apple logo and is frozen. I tried restarting it, but it did not respond. I unplugged it from my computer, but now, when I plug it back in, the computer doesn't recognize it. What should I do to fix this problem?

Put your iPod into DFU mode (instructions can be found here http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/ ) and iTunes should then be able to see it as a device.

TS1363 iTunes freezes when I connect this iPod (4th gen nano)

I have an older (4th gen) ipod that a family member gave me. I'd like to restore it and load it with music, but when I connect it and open iTunes, not only does iTunes not recognize it, but it completely freezes iTunes. I'm using Windows 8, latest version of iTunes installed. I've tried resetting the iPod, but that does not help.
When I check the device in control panel, it states "This device is working properly".
Any help is appreciated!

Found my solution in a similar thread - I hope I can find it and thank the poster!
It's a nuclear option, but it works!
Connect the offending iPod to a computer that does NOT have iTunes
You will be able to open the iPod as a Disk Drive in My Computer
(the following steps worked on my laptop running XP; you will need to adapt to your operating system)
Right-click on the Disk Drive when it appears
Click on Format
A window will pop up with some details and check boxes
Check "Quick Format"
You'll get a warning that everything on the drive will be erased. Click OK. (you are trying to reset the iPod to its original factory settings so that ITunes will read it as a new iPod)
Formatting only took a minute or so on my computer
Eject the iPod (Click the icon in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen)
Now, take the iPod back to the computer with your iTunes on it and connect it. (Close iTunes and reopen it if you haven't already) You should see a Welcome to your new iPod screen and be able to start over again syncing music, etc.
It worked for me!

Problem with synch ipod touch or ipod with itunes

Can somebody help me. I seem to have a problem with itunes. I can synch all the apps on an ipod touch and all the pictures,but not the music.
If I tried the same on a normal ipod, the same thing happened. If I uninstall all the itunes component on my laptop, will I loose all the apps for the ipod touch and all the music stored on itunes?
If you can help thank you.
Pierre

I seem to have a problem with itunes.
What is the problem?
I can synch all the apps on an ipod touch and all the pictures,but not the music.
Why not? What does/doesn't happen?
If I tried the same on a normal ipod, the same thing happened
Perhaps you would be so kind as to enlighten us as to what happened?

Can a data card be used with an iPod 4th gen?

Can you use a data card with an iPod touch 4th generation? Intended use would be FaceTime without Wifi.

If you are talking about a SIM card, then no. Your best bet would be to buy a MiFi which is a personal mobile hotspot. If you are talking about an SD card, only iPads can use them and they require an accessory.

Problem with Synching iPod Touch

Just picked up my iPod Touch today at a local Best Buy. And so far I love it. I love the web browser and youtube. But I have a big problem with syncing it. I spent 2 hours on the phone with the support only to find out I have to wait 3-5 days for a call back. It basically won't sync. It will try and do a couple songs then error out and say device is not connected or device and not be written or read from. Support could not understand the problem and neither can I. I have 2.0 USB ports too. I tried another computer and it worked fine. Anyone got a solution?

Well then I'm all out!
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Issues with New Ipod 3rd Gen Nano!! Please help!!

HELP!!!
I bought a new IPOD Nano for Xmas and it doesn't appear to be working.
It automatically syncs once then appears to completely disconnect, so when you then try to "apply" new settings or re-sync it fails.
I checked on "My Computer" and for the first few mins it appears as an external drive, then once again completely disappears.
This means I can't change any settings on how I want my IPOD to sync., for example adding new films that were previously unchecked...
Hope this makes sense!!
Has anyone else had any issues like this? Is there an easy way of solving this?
I've tried updating the software (which now says is uptodate) and resetting the factory settings.
I'd appreciate all the help I can get on this
My email address: [email protected]
Thanks

Hi there,
I'd suggest first resetting the iPod (check the online manual for that) and then restoring the latest software using iTunes.
Good luck!
