Problems syncing with nano 5th gen

I recently purchased a new computer. My 5th generation Nano was working perfectly fine with it until this morning when I tried re-syncing it with new music and it told me I had to restore it. I tried the iTunes restore 3 times and it still refuses to acknowledge it. I am NOT a happy camper. I've had this Nano since 2009 and have had NO problems with it til now.

Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual regarding how to properly restore your iPod.

Game won't sync with nano 4th gen

I bought iQuiz to my nano 4th gen and it clearly says that it is compatible with it, but it just won't sync. It won't even show up in the games tab. I've updated to the newest iTunes and I've updated the software on the nano but it still won't work.
What could I be doing wrong?

Does anyone from Apple ever read these forums and
offer support/help? It seems like this is more of
a
forum to voice problems and have others second the
issues. At least I know there are others with the
same problem but none of us can seem to fix it.
Have you guys tried resetting your nano settings
and
then tried to load the calendar at that point?
That
is my next attempt at a solution.
I'm sure they don't WANT to read all these postings. I phoned for support for exactly this problem, and I was told in no uncertain terms that Apple "does not support this feature of the Nano Gen.2, or iTunes 7.0 software."
So who DOES support it? Certainly not Microsoft!

Issues with Syncing Ipod Nano 5th gen

I put this in another thread its probably better here.. Have yet to receive help. Im gonna try and make what I did more clear and what options I have gone through
What I have tried to do
1: Search online for resolutions (found a few that I thought would help and they did not)
2: Contacted the local store - Unit is no longer under warranty but they stated they believe the issue is with Itunes Software not my hardware. Calling Tech would be useless, and being not under warranty would cost me money.
3: Search other sites where people discuss apple products.
I am a IPod user of 5 years... So I am familiar with how it all works. Im on my 3rd Ipod.
What I am attempting to do is sync selected music and video only. Sadly when I do this choice, it will not sync anything at all.. When I uncheck it it will then sync my music, video, and audio books no problem.. BUT I can not choose the songs I want.. Its either the entire library or artist if I do it by selecting artists.
I had not had this problem until I got ITunes 10. I have tried to downgrade my software but I like the functionality of ITunes 10 the best. ITunes 10 did work fine when I first got it, and had made no changes to it other then updates. Since I got ITunes 10 I had also gotten error 13019. Where I found some answers were to uninstall then reinstall.. Some said uncheck music sync everything else then recheck music and it will be fine. That does not work for some reason.

Problem syncing songs on 5th gen 30 GB ipod

My brother recently got an ipod nano and we began using both (my fifth gen) with iTunes on one computer. It worked fine the first day but after that it won't work. When i connect either ipod it works but then when i drag songs to them, the songs doesn't go on. Finally when i try to disconnect, it won't let me. I have to disconnect it via My Computer. Can Anyone Help Me!!!!!

Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos". To be able to drag songs from the library to the iPod there has to be a check mark against that option: Managing content manually on iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that it automatically enables the iPod for disk mode. When and iPod is enabled for disk mode the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod
If the iPod is set to manual and your problem with dragging persists try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

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:

The music does not belong to you. You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
Sorry

My ipod warranty ran out a few months ago I have a nano 5th gen. The problem is that if I want to play a song it would show the album artwork for about 3 seconds and go back to the main menu with no music playing. It'snot the head phones or ear jack. help

I have a nano 5th gen which I bought new. I no longer have the computer that I sync'd it with and created library on. I have new computer and Itunes library which I want to sync w my nano and songs on it. When I try it tells me I will loose all the songs on my nano bc Im already sync'd on a dif library. How do I keep from loosing all my songs?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in 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.

IPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) syncing some albums, but not others...?

Hello! I am new to the world of iPods, so please bear with me.
I recently purchased an iPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) and figured out how to sync it with iTunes. Unfortunately, it seems to only sync up with select albums in my library. I know that in order for an album to sync there needs to be check marks next to each song, which I did, but after I sync it I browse my iPod and find that only (roughly) half of the albums I indicated actually show up on my iPod. For example, I was able to sync albums by The Afghan Whigs, Bryan Ferry, and Berlin just fine, but for some reason I was not able to sync certain albums by Autechre, Low, or King Black Acid.
What gives?? I will note that I am using the Windows 7 release candidate - hopefully this has nothing to do with it.

Hello livoryy
It sounds like the battery just does not hold a charge. Check out the page below and look at the battery replacement section to get all the answers to what you are asking.

Help me sync my ipod nano 5th gen

My new i tunes purchases will not sync to my i pod nano (5th Gen). I did not have this problem unitl I replaced my laptop. I am thinking it must be some sort of setting on my laptop. My Ipod has plenty of space, its about 14 songs... please help! If someone can call me and walk me through it, that would be awesome!!

Hey there TXann,
It soudns like you have purchases that will not sync over to the iPod Nano 5th gen no matter what you do. I want to recommend running through the iPod 5rs to help troubleshoot the issue here:
iPod nano (5th generation) Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
I suggest trying the sync after each step so as to minimize the amount of troubleshooting you need to do. Here is step one to get you started:
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.
