Problems syncing my ipod nano to iTunes

I have a ipod nano and pc-Windows Vista. Tried to sync my ipod to iTunes for some recent songs, but when I go to file and then to where it states "sync ipod" it is not in bold letters to where I can click it to sync. My ipod was hooked up to the computer and it use to automatically sync, but not this time, I have had no previous problems in the past. Suggestions as to what might be wrong or what I might be over looking?

Why not? What happens when you try? Any error messages? If so, what is the exact wording of these error messages?

Problems syncing new ipod nano

I was given a 7th generation ipod nano for Christmas. I installed itunes and it downloaded some of my music to the ipod including two books I had bought from Audible. It then refused to sync anything else, not even the music I've bought from itunes store. I've removed the audible files from the ipod and from the itunes library but I still can't add anything to the ipod. When itunes opens up it says sync is complete, but there are still only two albums on the ipod. I've tried restoirng the settings on the ipod and when I tried to uninstall itunes my computer crashed, but itunes are still there with the same problems. I've now lost hours trying to resolve this

Hello JoJo717,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! It sounds like you have one computer but multiple iPods. There are a three options when syncing multiple devices to one computer, and the article below outlines these methods. I recommend reviewing the article to find a method that would work for you:

Can't select podcasts to sync to iPod nano in iTunes 12.1

I cannot always select the podcasts to sync by checking the boxes next to the podcasts, They won't check, or sometimes the item above the one I'm pointing at checks. This problem started with iTunes 12.01 and is still there in 12.1. The only fix I've found is to go to the podcast in my library and manually "Add to" my IPod nano, although everything in the list is checked like it should already be sync-ing. Very cumbersome! (iTunes 12.1, iPod Nano, 16 GB, Windows 7)

I sync almost everything automatically, but have been having this problem with the TED Talks video podcasts, which I do sync manually. (iTunes 12.0.1; Windows 7; iPod Touch)

HT1386 Unable to sync my ipod nano with itunes

I have added some new music to my itunes, attempted to syn my ipod nano and instead of adding the music it has completely emptied ALL of the music off my ipod! I have made several attempts - doing what I have always done to add music, but to no avail?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

You don't.
Itunes 11 is a program for your computer, not your iphone

Selecting media to sync to iPod Nano causes iTunes to become sluggish and freeze.

For the past few months I've noticed that when I update the content on my 6th Gen iPod Nano iTunes will freeze after I switch from music to audiobooks, or anything for that matter. The same issue happens when I try to select specific artists, or an audiobook.

How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process?
You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

Problem syncing ipod nano with itunes after external hard disc install

Since moving the itunes library (without a hitch) to a new external drive we have had a new problem which presumably is linked! When the ipod is plugged in all seems normal at first, the ipod syncs ok, then the system hangs at that point. itunes says "syncing ipod do not disconnect" (Even though the sync icon has vanished from next to the ipod on the itunes screen)likewise the ipod says "Do not disconnect". Windows then opens a "Autoplay" window which is obviously searching for files, with the torch graphic. This continues with the computer frozen. Cancelling the autoplay, leaves it saying "Cancelling" but it doesn't. Ctrl-alt-del is required to stop it, but that causes the computre to actually require a switch off. The fault is obviously with whatever is triggering the "Autoplay", but the ipod correctly lists as drive H, it doesn't seem to be a drive letter confusion. (Unfortunately it is impossible to learn which drive the autoplay is searching, and why, and what it can't find! Is there anybody that can help, as itunes is unuseable with ipod at present. I have tried completely removing and reinstalling itunes/Quick time with no effect!

Recently I transfered my entire iTunes library over to my external HDD
How and what exactly did you transfer?
and completed all of the necessary requirements to be able to play my music back from the new folder location (i.e. changed the location in iTunes preferences and consolidated everything etc)
This should been done before you transferred anything.
Now I have gone to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and it keeps coming up with an error
What exactly is the error and when do you see it?

How can I register/sync my iPod Nano to two separate iTunes accounts?

I have an iTunes account and so does my husband. Being they are two separate accounts, how can I sync my device to both accounts? Also being new to Apple devices, how can I move a purchased song from an iPad Mini to my Nano?

1. Click here and follow the instructions.
2. Sync the iPod nano with an iTunes library containing it. If none does, follow the instructions here or here.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

I bought an iPod nano and Itunes does recognize the iPod but when I try to sync it will not let me.
